Photo 1. Copper rich massive sulphides intersected in CD16 009, drilled to evaluate the Lense 7/8 �Menel IP Anomaly (NQ drill core).

CD16 008 was drilled to test the potential NE extension of Lense 4 �in an area where preliminary open pit mining studies indicated discovery of additional mineralisation would have a positive impact on the economics of an initial open pit mining operation. Very encouragingly, 3 5 metres of copper rich massive sulphides were intersected at the target depth (see Photo 2). Assay results are expected in late August.

Photo 2. Copper rich massive sulphides intersected in CD16 008, drilled to evaluate the NE extension of Lense 4 (HQ drill core).

CD16 004B was drilled to evaluate the �Lense 3�IP anomaly that was evident in the 2015 IP data. A narrow zone of massive sulphides was intersected at 115m depth. The new (2016) IP data reveal considerably stronger IP anomalism immediately along strike to the northeast of CD16 004B (see the Lense 9 IP Anomaly in Figure 1). Accordingly follow up drilling will be targeted towards this area.

CD16 007 was drilled to test the Lense 7/8 �Menel IP Anomaly at depth. Several metres of moderately mineralised sediments were intersected at the target depth. Shallower follow up drilling (including CD16 009) is showing that the thickness and tenor of mineralisation varies, as expected, both along strike and with depth along this trend. As further drilling is undertaken, the controls on, and location of, the thicker and higher grade portions of mineralisation along this trend are becoming better understood.

IP SURVEY PROGRESS

During 2015 Coventry completed induced polarisation (�IP�) surveying over 1.5km of strike, centred on the Caribou Dome Deposit. A very strong IP anomaly was delineated over the Deposit itself. Subsequent exploration drilling at several adjacent strong untested IP anomalies led directly to the discovery of additional thick, high grade copper mineralisation, including at the previously undrilled Lense 2 and Lense 7/8 Targets (see Figure 1).

Since early June 2016 contractors have been extending the IP coverage at the Project. The Company has now received preliminary data that cover 4.2km of strike, comprising a contiguous block of new data over the Deposit itself and extending a further 4km along strike to the NE , over the target sediment/volcanic contact (see Figure 1). Surveying continues to the west of the Deposit.

Figure 3. Location of IP anomalies and all drilling completed to date on image of copper soil geochemistry.

Numerous very high priority new targets have been delineated in the new IP data , including the newly defined Kopis Anomaly (formerly referred to as the �Menel Trend IP Anomaly�) and the Trojan IP Anomaly, each of which cover 1,100m of strike and lie in the same geological position as the Caribou Dome Deposit itself �namely at the contact between a sedimentary sequence and the underlying volcanic sequence of rocks (see Figures 1 3). The Kopis IP Anomaly coincides with a strong soil geochemistry anomaly (see Figure 3) and extensive outcropping mineralisation, whereas the Trojan IP anomaly is buried by transported cover (hence surface geochemistry is ineffective).

A series of broadly spaced holes have been planned to begin evaluating both these very high priority targets. Construction of access tracks and drill pads is progressing in advance of drilling .

Numerous other �second priority�IP anomalies have also been delineated. Many of these coincide with strong geochemistry anomalies, but on current understanding they are all slightly removed from the preferred sediment/volcanic contact. Mapping and reconnaissance is being undertaken, to help determine whether any of these targets warrant immediate drilling.

SOIL SAMPLING IN THE FAR NORTHEAST OF THE PROJECT AREA

During late June and early July 2016 approximately 800 soil samples were collected over more than 5km of strike over an extension of the prospective sedimentary sequence in the far northeast of the Project area, where, historically, outcropping sediment hosted copper mineralisation had been recorded. This new area is >11km NE of the Caribou Dome Deposit itself (see Figure 4) and has been subject to very little exploration previously.

Assay results have recently been received for all 800 soil samples. A 5km wide zone of highly anomalous copper results is evident in this new �Senator Prospect�area, with samples assaying up to 0.17% copper (see Figure 4).

CYY �New Drilling, Geophysics and Soil Sampling Significantly Enhance the Caribou Dome Project

The sampling team identified some exposed areas of outcropping sediment hosted mineralisation while they were collecting soil samples. Select rock chip samples from these areas have recently returned assays up to 12.1% Cu, confirming significant potential for additional high grade sediment hosted copper mineralisation in this sizeable new area.

26 new mineral claims have been staked recently to secure the mineral rights over the new anomalism and surrounding areas (for a total 4,160 acres or 16.8km[2] ). A suitable follow up work program is being devised.

Ongoing exploration results continue to confirm considerable potential to discover additional copper mineralisation across the entire Project. Drilling continues, with two diamond core rigs operating on site. The current phase of IP surveying is nearing completion, with final data expected towards the end of August. Assay results from the drilling program are expected to begin arriving consistently over the coming weeks.

COVENTRY RESOURCES LIMITED BACKGROUND

Coventry Resources Ltd is an ASX listed copper explorer. Coventry�s primary asset is its right to acquire an 80% interest in the highly prospective, high grade Caribou Dome Copper Project in Alaska, USA.

The Caribou Dome Project is located 250km north east of Anchorage, Alaska�s main port. There is road access all the way to the Project. Rail and high voltage power are both accessible 100km west of the Project, at Cantwell.

Alaska is a stable, pro mining jurisdiction. Approximately 80% of the state�s GDP comes from mining and resources, with six large scale mines currently in production. Alaska�s largest alluvial gold field, Valdez Creek, is ~15km from the Caribou Dome Project.

Mineralisation was discovered at the Project in 1963. From 1963 1970 nine lenses of sediment hosted copper mineralisation were delineated over approximately 700 metres of strike. 95 diamond core holes were drilled during this period, from surface and underground. This drilling was concentrated primarily on just 250 metres of strike, at Lenses 4, 5 and 6.

Very limited exploration had been undertaken since 1970, until Coventry secured the rights to explore and develop the Project in February 2015.

In 2015 Coventry compiled all historic technical information, prioritised targets arising, completed a ground geophysics (induced polarisation) survey, and completed 4,300 metres of diamond core drilling. Confirmatory drilling validated previous work and the Company�s initial results from work undertaken to further expand the resources at the Project have been very promising. All drilling (prior to 2016) is within a 700m long corridor, with mineralisation remaining open in both directions along strike and at depth. Significant intersections in drilling include:

  • 51.1m* at 5.3% Cu from 4.4m

  • 18.1m at 9.3% Cu from 22.7m

  • 14.1m at 9.9% Cu from 134.6m

  • 18.4m at 6.3% Cu from 31.4m

  • 15.4m at 7.0% Cu (U/G drill hole)

  • 10.4m at 7.9% Cu from 14.0m

  • 12.8m at 5.8% Cu (U/G drill hole)

  • 13.0m at 4.9% Cu (U/G drill hole)

  • 10.1m at 7.1% Cu from 39.0m

  • 9.1m at 7.0% Cu from 28.7m

  • 10.2m at 6.2% Cu from 46.6m

  • 12.2m at 5.0% Cu from 27.1m

  • True width estimated to be approximately 25m

Multiple high priority targets remain undrilled. With >18km of the stratigraphic horizon that hosts the mineralisation evident within the Company�s project area, there is considerable potential to discover additional high grade mineralisation and to continue to expand the resource base at the Project. The Company commenced a second, substantial program of field work at the Project in May 2016.

These
relationships
are
particularly important in the
reporting
of
Exploration

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
lengths
are
reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect
(e.g. �down hole length, true
width not known�).
Where
possible
drilling
was
conducted
perpendicular to the interpreted dip and strike
of the deposit. This was not always possible,
due to (i) the deposit�s dip and strike being
unknown and/or (ii) topographic constraints.

The significant intercepts for all assay data
received are included in the body of the
announcement.
Balanced
reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting of all Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of
both low and high grades
and/or
widths
should
be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting
of
Exploration
Results
All significant results are reported.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other
exploration
data,
if
meaningful
and
material,
should be reported including
(but not limited to) geological
observations;
geophysical
survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples �
size
and

of
treatment; metallurgical test
results;
bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics;
potential
deleterious
or
contaminatingsubstances.
This announcement is reporting on some
geological and visual representations of the
core for which assays are yet to be received.

Further Work The
nature
and
scale
of
planned further work (e.g.
tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large
scale step
out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting
the
areas
of
possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations
and
future
drilling areas, provided this
information
is
not
commerciallysensitive.
The drill program is continuing and other assay
results are still pending.
Initially, future drilling will be focused on the
lateral and depth extensions of the known and
mapped mineralized lenses.
A recent IP survey has generated multiple new
targets that have previously been outlined in
plan and section. These will be systematically
followed up in conjunction with drilling and
further exploration.
