European Uranium Update

Vancouver, April 2, 2013 - European Uranium Resources Ltd. (EUU: TSX-V; (EUUNF:OTCQX; TGPN: Frankfurt) provides an update on the progress of work on its 100% held Kuriskova uranium deposit in Slovakia and its 100% held Asento exploration project in Finland.

The Company plans to complete a feasibility study on the Kuriskova project by the end of 2014 or possibly first quarter 2015. Before awarding the contract to conduct the study the Company has been continuing critical path work that will be needed to stay on this time line. In the first half of 2013 this work has comprised metallurgical test work and environmental and social programs including baseline data collection.

A drilling program for obtaining composite samples for metallurgical test work was completed in 2012 and composite samples from that program have been shipped for testing to AREVA's laboratory facility at Bessines, France. The test work began in January 2013 as part of the Company's pre-paid technical services agreement with AREVA. Testing is ongoing and all the results will be available for inclusion in the feasibility study. The Company's environmental and social programs in Slovakia have an expanded focus on regional and local stakeholder engagement to continue to build support for the project and facilitate the permitting process.

The results of the NI 43-101 preliminary feasibility study completed in early 2012 demonstrate that the company's Kuriskova project would be among the highest-grade and lowest cost uranium producers in the world. The study not only illustrates the robust economics of the Kuriskova project but also the competitive advantages it has over other uranium projects as a result of its high-grade resource and expected low operating costs. The study also indicates that Kuriskova could be built and operated using Best Available Technology with minimal surface footprint and environmental impact.

In early 2012, the Company acquired a portfolio of exploration licenses and applications for uranium projects in Finland and Sweden. In March 2013, the Company was awarded a three-year exploration license for the Asento ("10,000 Boulders") project in north-central Finland covering 3,556.6 hectares. This is a new discovery where a large number of mineralized boulders have been identified and the project area is considered prospective for vein-style hydrothermal uranium deposits within Archean granites. Now that the exploration license has been granted the Company will begin planning a summer exploration program for this project.
