Tournigan Continues Reporting High Grade Uranium Assays at
Kuriskova, Retains SRK for Preliminary Assessment
======================================================================

Vancouver, April 22, 2008 - Tournigan Gold Corporation (TVC:TSX-V; TGP:
Frankfurt) today reported results from assays taken from the remaining
11 Diamond drill holes drilled in 2007 on its Kuriskova uranium deposit
in Eastern Slovakia. The results are part of Tournigan's 10,129 metre,
30-hole 2007 infill drilling program on the deposit.

Highlights from assay results include:

Hole From To Length %U3O8
------------------------------------------------
KG-J-28B 263.8 272.0 8.2 0.553
including 268.0 271.0 3.0 1.318
KG-J-28C 248.5 254.0 5.5 0.557
KG-J-31B 412.0 414.9 2.9 0.400
KG-J-28A 335.5 338.0 2.5 0.273

Assay results from all the reported drill holes are listed in Appendix
A and on Tournigan's web site at

"Our 2007 drilling has consistently returned high grade assay results
over significant widths at Kuriskova and provides us a much clearer
picture of the deposit," said Tournigan President, James Walchuck. "The
data we now have enables us to begin work on the 2008 resource estimate
expected in July and a preliminary assessment to be completed towards
the end of the year."

Tournigan has retained SRK Consulting of Denver, CO, a world leader in
mine engineering, to prepare the preliminary assessment for the
Kuriskova deposit and to work with the company towards the feasibility
stage.

"Investors should keep in mind that our 2007 drilling has focused on
near to surface mineralization in the main zone," Walchuck added. "Our
2008 drilling will focus on the deeper, higher grade material that will
be included in an additional resource estimate targeted for mid-2009."

Tournigan anticipates the mid-2008 estimate will upgrade a portion of
the deposit to the indicated resource classification. Meanwhile, the
company's 9,000 metre 2008 infill drilling program at Kuriskova is on
target and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.

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%.

Shareholder Rights Plan
The Shareholder Protection Rights Plan Agreement approved at
Tournigan's annual meeting of shareholders on March 14, 2008 (the
"Plan") has been amended to correct a clerical error. The definition
of "Expiration Date" in the Plan incorrectly made reference to the Plan
expiring on the date immediately following the date of the 2008 annual
general meeting unless terminated earlier in other circumstances
provided in the Plan. The reference to the 2008 annual meeting of
shareholders has been corrected to refer to Tournigan's 2009 annual
meeting of shareholders, and the amended Plan has been filed on SEDAR.
