VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – June 7, 2016) –

Highlights

Coventry Resources Limited (ASX:CYY) (“Coventry” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the first drilling rig has arrived at the Company’s high-grade Caribou Dome Copper Project in Alaska, USA (“Caribou Dome Project” and “Project”) in advance of a planned 8,000m drilling program.

This drilling program will include initial testing of the high-priority Menel, Guardian, Lense 9 and Lense 3 induced polarisation (“IP”) targets, which are all located immediately along strike from the 700m-long corridor of mineralisation drilled to date (see Figure 1). All four of these targets comprise strong IP anomalies that coincide with outcropping and/or sub-cropping mineralisation and strong copper geochemical anomalies at surface, including rock chip samples that assayed up to 16.5% copper at the Guardian Target.

In recent weeks, in preparation for the drilling program and an extensive geophysical survey, contractors have re-established the camp at the Project and commenced preparation of access roads and drill pads in the new target areas. The drilling rig and ancillary equipment is currently being moved to the first drill site, which will be at the Lense 3 target. Results from limited shallow drilling directly up-dip of the IP anomaly at Lense 3 include:

Previous drilling has not been deep enough to test the IP target at Lense 3. The other high-priority targets will be progressively (and iteratively) drill-tested thereafter.

Ground Geophysics Survey

A geophysical survey crew will mobilise to the Project later this week. IP surveying will commence immediately on arrival. First-pass IP data will be acquired over extensive soil anomalies delineated recently over 7km of strike (see Figure 2). The IP surveying is expected to take around a month to complete. Data will be used to continue to reprioritise drill targets. It is anticipated that a second drilling rig will be mobilised to the Project shortly after the IP survey is completed.

There are multiple indications that mineralisation at the high-grade Caribou Dome Project extends well beyond the 700-metre long corridor tested by limited drilling to date. With only 140 holes and 12,662m of drilling undertaken to date, and multiple high-priority untested drill targets evident, there is considerable potential to delineate additional mineralisation at the Project during the current 8,000m drilling program.

Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to resource project identification and evaluation, exploration and development activities and expected outcomes. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes”, or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Any forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on certain assumptions that Coventry believes are reasonable, including, that the current price of and demand for mineral commodities will be sustained or will improve, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed on reasonable terms, that supplies, equipment, personnel, permits and local community approval required to conduct Coventry’s planned exploration and development activities will be available on reasonable terms and that Coventry will not experience any material accident, labour dispute, or failure of equipment.

However, forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Coventry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to the actual results of exploration activities being different than anticipated, cost of labour increasing more than expected, cost of equipment or materials increasing more than expected, fluctuations in the commodity prices, currency fluctuations, risk of accidents, labour disputes and other risks generally associated with mineral exploration and unanticipated delays in obtaining or failing to obtain governmental or community approvals or financing. Although Coventry has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to not be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
