Pursuant to the announcement by Tournigan Energy Ltd. ("Tournigan") (TSX-V: TVC) (FRANKFURT: TGP) on October 2, 2008 that it had arranged to sell its wholly-owned subsidiaries Dalradian Gold Limited ("Dalradian Gold") and Tournigan USA Inc., Tournigan is now pleased to announce that it has amended and closed the Dalradian Gold transaction and is continuing to work toward closing the Tournigan USA transaction.

Dalradian Gold Transaction

The Dalradian Gold transaction, which includes the company's Curraghinalt Gold Project in Northern Ireland, has been amended and finalized as an earn-in option agreement. In the agreement, C3 Resources, Inc. ("C3 Resources") will pay Tournigan a total of C$9.25 million in four staged payments and C3 Resources will fund 100% of the project expenditures until the completion of a bankable feasibility study for a 90% equity interest in Dalradian Gold. The staged payments will be paid in the following earn-in phases:

(a) An upfront payment of C$1 million (C$375,000 of which has been previously paid, C$450,000 which will be paid on receipt of approval for the transaction from the TSX Venture Exchange and a further C$175,000 on or before March 31, 2009);

(b) C$3.25 million upon the completion of an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource definition, on or before December 31, 2010;

(c) C$1.75 million upon completion of a NI 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility report, on or before December 31, 2011; and

(d) C$3.25 million upon completion of a NI 43-101 compliant bankable feasibility study, on or before June 30, 2013.

Upon completion of the updated NI 43-101 compliant resource definition as outlined in phase (b) above, C3 Resources will have the option to enter into a formal joint-venture agreement with Tournigan and hold a 51% equity interest in Dalradian Gold. This interest will increase with each earn-in phase until it reaches 90% upon completion of phase (d) at which time Tournigan and C3 Resources will participate in Dalradian Gold on a pro-rata basis. The parties have entered into a definitive option agreement, effective as of December 19, 2008.

The Dalradian Gold transaction is still subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Tournigan USA Transaction

Tournigan continues to work toward closing the Tournigan USA transaction with Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc. under the same terms as outlined in the October 2, 2008 press release. Tournigan USA holds claims in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona covering approximately 55,000 acres of prospective uranium exploration ground. Closing of the Tournigan USA transaction is planned for mid-January.

The Curraghinalt Gold Project in Northern Ireland (Dalradian Gold) and the uranium exploration licenses in the USA (Tournigan USA) are non-core assets of Tournigan. The structures of the two transactions allow Tournigan to continue participating in the potential upside of the underlying assets, while allowing its management and financial resources to be focused exclusively on the development of its prospective mineral properties in Slovakia, notably its Kuriskova Uranium Project.
