Tournigan Reports High Grade Chemical Assay Results at Kuriskova
======================================================================

Vancouver, April 8, 2008 - Tournigan Gold Corporation (TVC:TSX-V; TGP:
Frankfurt) today reported results from geochemical assays taken from 13
Diamond drill holes on its Kuriskova deposit in Eastern Slovakia. The
results are part of Tournigan's 10,129 metre, 30-hole, 2007 infill
drilling program on the deposit. Results from an additional 13 holes
will be reported in subsequent news releases. Two of the holes in the
program were abandoned, one was structurally pinched and on one hole,
drilling will be continued in June this year.

Highlights from assay results include:

KG-J-25A 301.5 307.2 5.7 0.880

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

"As anticipated, the geochemical assays that we received correlate well
with the previously disclosed radiometric results. Given the long lead
times for obtaining chemical assays this correlation justifies
announcing radiometric assays so that investors have the latest
information available to them," said Tournigan President, James
Walchuck. "We expect to report the remainder of the 2007 chemical assay
results followed by the radiometric results from our initial 2008
drilling at Kuriskova in May."

Assay results from the 2007 program will be used for a new NI 43-101
resource estimate expected mid-2008. Tournigan anticipates the next
estimate will upgrade a significant portion of the deposit to the
indicated resource classification. Tournigan continues its 2008 infill
drilling program at Kuriskova where the company has planned
approximately 9,000 metres of core Diamond drilling.

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%.
