VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Business Wire)

European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; TGPN: Frankfurt) provides an update on the progress of the feasibility study for the Company’s high-grade Kuriskova uranium deposit in Slovakia. The Kuriskova deposit is one of the world’s highest grade undeveloped uranium deposits at a grade of 0.555% U₃O₈. A preliminary feasibility study demonstrates that Kuriskova could be one of the lowest cost uranium producers in the world.

Composite samples for ongoing metallurgical testwork were recently prepared using drill core from the newly completed metallurgical drilling program (see news releases dated June 26 and July 24, 2012). Where necessary, to bring composite grade to the appropriate level for the test work, quarter core from previously drilled holes was blended into the sample. The samples have been shipped to AREVA’s laboratory facility at Bessines, France. Metallurgical test work will begin shortly as part of EUU’s pre-paid technical services agreement with AREVA.

This test work is part of EUU’s ongoing programs and studies to complete a feasibility study on the Kuriskova deposit. The results of this metallurgical test program will be used for flow sheet optimization and further development of design parameters and costing for the feasibility study. The objective is to optimize the process flow sheet as described in the preliminary feasibility study. The Company also continues to advance critical path aspects of the feasibility study as well as the collection of baseline data for the environmental impact study for the Kuriskova deposit.

The April 2011 NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, audited and approved by Tetra Tech, Inc., comprises an Indicated Resource of 28.5 million pounds of U₃O₈ at a grade of 0.555% U₃O₈ contained in 2.3 million tonnes and an additional Inferred Resource of 12.7 million pounds of U₃O₈ at a grade of 0.185% U₃O₈ contained in 3.1 million tonnes, at a cut-off of 0.05% U (see news release dated April 26, 2011). A preliminary feasibility study, announced January 30, 2012, demonstrates that Kuriskova could be one of the lowest cost uranium producers in the world.

EUU continues its efforts to define a structure which would allow uranium from Kuriskova to be developed for the benefit of Slovakia's energy future. This could be a production off-take arrangement with Slovakia or a partnership with a Slovak entity.
