2. FURTHER RESULTS FROM ONGOING METALLURGICAL TESTWORK

Coventry Resources Inc. (ASX:CYY) ("Coventry" or "the Company") is pleased to advise it has received further results from an ongoing metallurgical testwork program on samples from the high-grade Caribou Dome Copper Deposit in Alaska, USA ("the Project" and "the Caribou Dome Project").

Since December 2015, conventional flotation testwork has been progressing, utilising representative drill core from the Company's 2015 drilling program at the Project. Testwork to date has been undertaken on a composite sample from the Lense 4, 5 and 6 area, which averaged 5.03% copper.

Having recently achieved cleaner concentrates grading as high as 24.5% copper, recent testwork has been further investigating potential recoveries.

Very encouraging results have been achieved during recent rougher flotation tests, with recoveries of >95% copper returned. This considerably exceeds recoveries achieved in the most recent historical testwork (2009).

These results provide further confidence that a conventional flotation processing plant may provide a viable low-CAPEX pathway for the development of the Caribou Dome Project.

Initial flotation testwork on a composite sample from the Lense 7/8 area will now be undertaken, to assess whether the metallurgical properties of mineralisation in that area are similar to those in the Lense 4, 5 and 6 area. Additional samples of mineralisation will also be collected during the forthcoming 2016 field work program to undertake further metallurgical testwork to continue to refine the optimal processing flowsheet for the Project.

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.
