VANCOUVER, BC, Mar 03, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Tournigan Gold Corporation (TSX-V: TVC) (FRANKFURT: TGP) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of 100% interest in its US uranium properties from Sweetwater River Resources LLC ("Sweetwater"). Prior to the acquisition, the Corporation's interests in the properties were held through its option agreement with Sweetwater.
In accordance with the terms of the Option Transfer and Amendment Agreement (the "OTA Agreement") the Corporation has made cash payments totaling $642,000, of which $100,000 has been placed in escrow pending rectification by Sweetwater of certain minor deficiencies in land tenure reports which is expected to occur within four months. The Corporation has also issued 340,000 common shares to Sweetwater. Pursuant to regulatory requirements, the common shares issued upon closing are subject to a four-month hold period.
"With this acquisition completed we now have 100 percent interest in all of our uranium properties in both the US and Slovakia," said James Walchuck, Tournigan's President and CEO. "We continue to develop these properties with additional exploration and drill programs planned on both continents this year."
