European Uranium – Commences Legal Proceedings in Slovakia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 25, 2015 / European Uranium Resources Ltd. (“EUU” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE: EUU) provides the following update on its subsidiary’s operations in the Slovak Republic.

The Company advises that lawyers acting on behalf of Ludovika Energy s.r.o. (“Ludovika”), the company that held the exploration license where the Kuriskova uranium deposit is located, have filed court proceedings against the Ministry of Environment in Slovakia (the “Ministry”) in respect to its decision not to grant the extension of the exploration license.

Ludovika is asking the court to review the decision of the Ministry to determine whether it was made in accordance with the Geological Law of Slovakia.

This is the first step to remedy what the Company’s legal advisers believe to be a violation of the Geological Law of Slovakia. If successful in the proceedings, it is the view of the Company’s advisers that Ludovika would be entitled to compensation. EUU and its Joint Venture partner Forte Energy NL have invested in excess of 25 million Euros in the Kuriskova Uranium project. This would be the starting point for a compensation claim.

The Company will update its shareholders as developments occur.

Shareholders should note that the legal proceedings are separate and independent to the applications that Ludovika has before the Ministry for an exploration license to allow exploration for rare earth elements in the Kuriskova deposit area.
