Tournigan Energy Ltd. (TVC: TSX-V; TGP: Frankfurt) has completed its initial phase of metallurgical testing for the Kuriskova uranium project in eastern Slovakia. The test program was conducted on drill core samples representative of the mineralization and was performed at the Resource Development, Inc. (RDI) laboratory facilities in Wheatridge, Colorado.
The test results indicate that over 90 percent of the uranium and molybdenum can be recovered by pressure oxidation using a whole ore leach process in an alkaline (carbonate) media at a grind size of P80 150 mesh. This process represents a conventional technology used in the US and other countries for the ...
