Coventry Resources Inc. Shareholders Ratify Share Issuances

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 19, 2013 - Coventry Resources Inc. (CYY - TSX Venture), ("Coventry" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that shareholders of the Company have overwhelmingly approved the proposed resolutions at a special meeting of shareholders held on April 18, 2013, thereby satisfying one of the escrow release conditions governing the conversion of 18,750,000 subscription receipts of the Company (the "Subscription Receipts") and the release of C$4.2 million (A$4.0 million) from escrow in connection with the Company's previously announced offering of 18.75 million units ("Units") at a price of C$0.32 per Unit (A$0.305 per Unit) for total gross proceeds of C$6.0 million (A$5.7 million) (the "Offering") (see February 22, 2013 press release). Each Unit consists of 0.3 of one Common Share plus one Subscription Receipt. The approved resolutions ratify the issuance of 5,624,984 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), as well as the issuance of 13,125,000 Common Shares and 9,375,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts.

"We are very pleased to have such resounding support from our shareholders, and look forward to finalizing the last of the escrow release conditions, which is expected within the coming days," commented Mike Naylor, President & CEO of Coventry. "Once the financing is complete, we expect to be in a strong position to move forward with development at our Cameron Gold Camp, as well as continue exploration work at our nearby gold exploration properties."

In Australia, each Unit consists of 0.3 of one Common Share, registered as a fully paid CHESS Depositary Instrument (each whole CHESS Depositary Instrument a "CDI"), plus one Subscription Receipt.

It is expected that the remaining escrow release conditions will be fulfilled within the next three business days, after which each whole Subscription Receipt will automatically be converted, without payment of any additional consideration, into 0.7 of one Common Share and 0.5 of one Warrant. Each whole Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share, for a period of 18 months at an exercise price of C$0.45 per Common Share (A$0.43). In order to facilitate the trading of the Common Shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, each of the Common Shares issued to Australian holders are represented by a fully-paid CHESS Depositary Instrument ("CDI"). The CDIs are held and traded through CHESS. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund development at the Company's Cameron Gold Camp Project, to advance certain of its other properties, and for general working capital and corporate purposes.
