Coventry Resources: Area of Caribou Dome Copper Project Doubled to Greater Than 20,000 Acres

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 15, 2015) -

Highlights

• Additional mineral rights covering ~11,040 acres secured immediately adjacent to and along strike from the Caribou Dome Copper Project
• More than doubles the Project area to ~21,280 acres
• New ground incorporates all mapped extensions of the highly prospective stratigraphy that hosts the high-grade and underexplored Caribou Dome Copper Deposits
• New ground also incorporates numerous additional copper occurrences, including the Aly's Peak prospect, located about 4,250 metres NE of the main Caribou Dome deposits:
  • Large areas of moderate to strong propylitic alteration have been mapped during limited previous exploration
  • Disseminated sulphides prevalent, with local semi-massive sulphides
  • Up to 1.36% copper returned in rock chip samples
  • No previous drilling
• Enhances the significant exploration upside at the Project

Coventry Resources Inc. (ASX:CYY) ("Coventry" or "the Company") is pleased to advise that new mineral claims, covering approximately 11,040 acres, have been staked immediately adjacent to and along strike from the previous boundaries of the Caribou Dome Copper Project in Alaska, USA ("the Project").

During November 2014 the Company entered into agreements that provide it the right to acquire 80% of the highly prospective and underexplored Caribou Dome Copper Project, via the acquisition of unlisted Australian company Aldevco Pty Ltd ("Aldevco"). Under "area of influence" clauses in these agreements, the recently staked areas will be included in the Aldevco transaction (i.e. on shareholder approval of the Aldevco transaction, Coventry will also have the right to acquire an 80% interest in these new areas for no additional consideration).

Sediment-hosted copper mineralisation had been identified across the entire east-west strike of the previous 10,240 acre Project area. This includes delineation of nine outcropping pods of very-high grade copper mineralisation over ~750 metres of strike, where exceptional results in limited previous drilling include:

• 18.1m at 9.34% copper
• 18.4m at 6.25% copper
• 15.4m at 7.01% copper
• 13.1m at 7.20% copper
• 10.4m at 7.94% copper
• 12.8m at 5.78% copper
• 13.0m at 4.94% copper
• 9.1m at 6.97% copper
• 10.2m at 6.23% copper
• 12.2m at 5.04% copper
• 10.7m at 4.99% copper
• 10.2m at 4.96% copper
• 8.3m at 6.07% copper

Accordingly the additional claims were staked to cover the mapped extensions of the highly prospective stratigraphy that hosts the known mineralisation. Indeed the additional claims also incorporate numerous historic copper (and other base and precious metal) occurrences, including the underexplored Aly's Peak Prospect (see below). The total Project area now comprises approximately 21,280 acres (see Appendix 1 - Figure 1).

Aly's Peak Prospect

The Aly's Peak Prospect is located approximately 4,250 metres northeast of the main Caribou Dome deposits. Large areas of moderate to strong propylitic alteration have been mapped during limited previous exploration undertaken in 1995 to follow up on highly anomalous stream geochemistry and soil sample data. Disseminated sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite +/- chalcopyrite) have been reported to be common, and "locally these sulphides coalesce into relatively large (~2m x ~1m) pods of semi-massive sulphides". Analytical results up to 1.36% copper have been returned from very limited rock chip sampling. Additionally, massive epidote-garnet-copper sulphide-copper oxide skarn has been observed in float near the top of Aly's Peak. A sample of this material assayed 1.08% copper.

The acquisition of the additional areas further enhances the prospectivity of the Project.

As previously advised, a shareholder meeting is planned for shareholders to approve Coventry's proposed acquisition of 100% of the shares in Aldevco, thereby providing the Company the right to earn an 80% interest in the Project. Preparation of requisite documentation is nearing completion. The shareholder meeting is expected to be held during the second half of February 2015.

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.
