Tournigan Reports High Grade Chemical Assay Results at Kuriskova
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - April 8, 2008) - Tournigan Gold Corporation (TSX-V: TVC) (FRANKFURT: TGP) today reported results from geochemical assays taken from 13 diamond drill holes on its Kuriskova deposit in Eastern Slovakia. The results are part of Tournigan's 10,129 metre, 30-hole, 2007 infill drilling program on the deposit. Results from an additional 13 holes will be reported in subsequent news releases. Two of the holes in the program were abandoned, one was structurally pinched and on one hole, drilling will be continued in June this year.

Highlights from assay results include:

Assay results from all the reported drill holes are listed in Appendix A and on Tournigan's web site at http://www.tournigan.com/i/misc/AppendixA.pdf.

"As anticipated, the geochemical assays that we received correlate well with the previously disclosed radiometric results. Given the long lead times for obtaining chemical assays this correlation justifies announcing radiometric assays so that investors have the latest information available to them," said Tournigan President, James Walchuck. "We expect to report the remainder of the 2007 chemical assay results followed by the radiometric results from our initial 2008 drilling at Kuriskova in May."

Assay results from the 2007 program will be used for a new NI 43-101 resource estimate expected mid-2008. Tournigan anticipates the next estimate will upgrade a significant portion of the deposit to the indicated resource classification. Tournigan continues its 2008 infill drilling program at Kuriskova where the company has planned approximately 9,000 metres of core diamond drilling.

Tournigan employs a rigorous QAQC program for its uranium analytical program. Core is sampled and saw split in Slovakia, where field blanks are inserted. The entire half core sample is shipped to SGS Lakefield, Ontario, for crushing and pulverization. Duplicates and certified standards are inserted blindly by a third-party independent lab prior to analysis. SGS Lakefield analyzes all samples for uranium by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). All samples are then analyzed for 50 elements by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry with a four acid digest. Check assays are performed on ore grade samples by an independent lab at a minimum rate of 5%.

Continuation from Yukon to British Columbia

Tournigan is pleased to announce the completion of the continuation of its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Yukon Territory into British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) effective as of March 27, 2008 and the adoption of new articles, as approved at the annual shareholders meeting held March 14, 2008. The continuation is not a reorganization, amalgamation or merger and does not alter shareholdings of Tournigan's shareholders. The CUSIP and ISIN number for the common shares of the Corporation remain the same after the continuation. The Corporation's new constating documents have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

ETTournigan Discovers New High Grade Uranium, Confirms Historical Data at Novoveska Huta, Slovakia
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - June 11, 2008) - Tournigan Energy Ltd. (TSX-V: TVC) (FRANKFURT: TGP) today reported drill results taken from 12 diamond drill holes totaling 5,540 metres on its Novoveska Huta uranium deposit in Eastern Slovakia. The holes, drilled to depths of between 200 to 657 metres, were designed to twin historical holes as well as explore the deposit to the east and provide structural analysis of the deposit.

The company continues to intercept significant thicknesses and uranium grades on the deposit which confirms historical data and extends the resource. Notably, new high grade material, including 7.6 metres of 0.399 %eU308, was discovered in hole LH-NH-4, approximately 600 metres east of the historical underground workings. Additional mineralization was also intersected in LH-NH-11 a further 175 metres east of LH-NH-4.

Highlights from the downhole radiometric logging include:

"This drill campaign has confirmed and in many cases improved upon the results from historic drilling," said Tournigan President, James Walchuck. "We are especially encouraged by the new higher grade mineralization found further to the east of the historical deposit."

Previous work on the property included 5.5 km of underground development and test workings on five vertical levels and 43 deep-drill holes which were the source for a historical estimate by Uranpres s.r.o. in 2005. The historical resource estimate at Novoveska Huta reported 19,970,000 pounds of uranium contained in 12 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.075% U3O8 (cutoff grade 0.015% U308). *

Tournigan will analyze the data from 662 chip samples, the historic drill holes and its own drill campaign to build an updated resource model on the deposit, which will provide the basis for a NI 43-101 estimate by fourth quarter, 2008.

The drill results reported are from one hole drilled in 2006, nine drilled in 2007 and two in 2008. Two holes did not encounter significant mineralization. Hole LH-NH-5 was drilled to verify mineralization in the tectonic zone and Hole LH-NH-6 was drilled to verify continuity of deposit to the west. Tournigan is now focusing on exploring the deposit to the east of the previous workings.

The uranium grades referred to above are reported as equivalent uranium (eU3O8) as determined by downhole radiometric logging equipment. The logging was performed by Koral, s.r.o. of Slovakia. Quality control and quality assurance is being provided by Ravi Sharma, Tournigan's Manager Resources and Reserves.

* The Company has reviewed the above historical resource estimates and views them relevant. The Company believes that the historical resource estimates are reliable based on the historic exploitation of Slovak deposits in general and metallurgical test records acquired with the Company's deposits in particular. The above Slovak Resource Category is a combination of P and Z-3, which is roughly analogous to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's definition for Inferred Resources. The Company has not, however, done the work necessary to verify the classification of the resources and the resources are not classified according to CIM's Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions. Investors are cautioned not to rely upon these estimates. Uranium metal (U) grades were converted to uranium oxide (U3O8) grades using a factor of 1.17924.
