Coventry Resources Inc. is a limited liability corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia. Australian Registered Business Number 161615783

  • 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 semimassive 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

AREA OF CARIBOU DOME COPPER PROJECT DOUBLED TO >20,000 ACRES

==> picture [195 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • 15.4m at 7.01% copper

  • 13.1m at 7.20% copper

  • 10.4m at 7.94% copper

  • 12.8m at 5.78% copper13.0m at 4.94% copper

  • 9.1m at 6.97% copper

  • 10.2m at 6.23% copper

  • 12.2m at 5.04% copper10.7m at 4.99% copper10.2m at 4.96% copper8.3m 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 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 sulphidecopper 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.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
Techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc.).
These
examples
should
not
be
taken
as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done, this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a
30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases,
more
explanation
may
be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold
that
has
inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.

A
stream sampling
program
and
soil
sampling
program were completed at the Aly’s Peak Prospect
sometime
between
1964
and
1994.
Further
prospecting, including recording details of geology
and collection of select rock-ship samples, was
undertaken in 1995 to follow up on anomalous
results. Previous work programs appear to have
been
undertaken
in

particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the downhole
