Coventry Resources Inc.: High-Grade Assay Results Continue From the Lense 7/8 Target at the Caribou Dome Copper Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 30, 2015) -
HIGHLIGHTS
Assay results received for drill hole CD15-15, the first of six holes drilled to test for extensions of the new copper-sulphide mineralisation discovered recently at the Lense 7/8 Target
Significant new intersections in CD15-15 include:
3.5m @ 9.3% Cu from 72.9m, and
1.9m @ 10.8% Cu from 116.0m
These results again confirm there are multiple lenses of very high-grade mineralisation, of mineable thickness, at the Lense 7/8 Target
Mineralisation at the Lense 7/8 Target remains open in both directions along strike and at depth
Assay results are pending for 10 other holes drilled recently at the Project, including 5 holes drilled at the Lense 7/8 Target
Drilling continues
NEW ANALYTICAL DATA FROM DRILLING AT CARIBOU DOME
Coventry Resources Inc. (CYY.AX) (TSX VENTURE:CYY) ("Coventry" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has received assay results for a further 3 holes (CD15-15 to 17) drilled recently at the Caribou Dome Copper Project in Alaska, USA (the "Caribou Dome Project" or "the Project").
2.1 Drilling at the Lense 7/8 Target
The Lense 7/8 Target comprises a previously undrilled, strong, 175m long induced polarisation ("IP") anomaly located adjacent to outcropping mineralisation at Lenses 7 and 8 (see Figures 1-3). On 10 September 2015 Coventry announced it had intersected substantial thicknesses of very high-grade copper mineralisation in CD15-14, the first hole drilled to evaluate the Lense 7/8 Target. Assay results included:
0.8m @ 12.4% Cu from 128.7m
14.1m @ 9.9% Cu from 134.6m
2.4m @ 3.7% Cu from 159.8m, and
0.4m @ 13.6% Cu from 167.4m
A further 6 holes have subsequently been drilled at the Lense 7/8 Target to test for extensions of this mineralisation (CD15-15, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27). These holes have been drilled on 4 separate drill fences that are nominally spaced 40 metres apart, covering a total of 120 metres of strike (see Figures 1 and 2).
In each of these 6 holes multiple intervals of semi-massive to massive copper-sulphide mineralisation have been intersected. At least one individual mineralised interval is greater than 10 metres thick.
Assay results from the first of these 6 follow-up holes (CD15-15) have now been received. CD15-15 was drilled on the same fence as, and below, CD15-14. Significant intersections in CD15-15 include:
0.5m @ 1.9% Cu from 64.6m
3.5m @ 9.3% Cu from 72.9m, and
1.9m @ 10.8% Cu from 116.0m
The high-grade mineralisation intersected in CD15-15 appears to correlate with the down-dip extensions of mapped Lenses 3 and 7. Significantly the mineralisation in this, the deepest hole drilled to date at the Lense 7/8 Target, continues to have substantial thickness and very high-grade.
It appears previously unidentified structures may offset some of the mineralisation in this area. In due course analytical results from the other 5 follow-up holes should help determine these structural controls, which will assist planning for further drilling.
With mineralisation remaining open in both directions along strike and at depth at the Lense 7/8 Target, and with the undrilled very high-priority induced polarisation ("IP") anomaly at the Menel Target located 250m directly along strike from this mineralisation (see Figures 1 and 3, and Coventry's ASX Announcement on 23 September 2015), there is considerable potential to delineate additional high-grade mineralisation with further drilling.
Assay results for the 5 other follow-up holes drilled recently at the Lense 7/8 Target are anticipated during early-mid October.

2.2 Drilling at the Lense 6 East Target
CD15-16 was the first hole drilled to commence evaluation of the Lense 6 East Target, a 100m long IP anomaly that appears to be the easterly extension of the IP anomaly that coincides with high-grade mineralisation at Lenses 5 and 6 (see Figures 2 and 3).
CD15-16 intersected the sequence of sedimentary rocks (argillites) that host the high-grade mineralisation at Lense 6 itself and elsewhere at the Project. A narrow zone of sulphides was intersected towards the base of the argillite sequence, with assay results including:
0.5m @ 0.5% Cu from 105.4m
A large fault zone in greenstones was intersected deeper in the hole, around the target depth.
A second hole, CD15-26 is currently being drilled to further evaluate this target and to help determine the significance of the fault and the mineralisation intersected in CD15-16.
2.3 Drilling at the Caribou South Target
CD15-17 was the first hole drilled to commence evaluation of the Caribou South Target, a strong 500m-long IP anomaly located 100m south of and parallel to the IP anomaly that coincides with mineralisation at Lenses 2, 5 and 6 (see Figures 2 and 3).
CD15-17 was drilled at the eastern end of the Caribou South IP anomaly. It intersected two large clay-rich fault zones, both approximately 20 metres thick, around the target depth. No significant mineralisation was intersected. While the clays in the fault zones may be the source of the IP anomaly, the Caribou South Target is 500m long, hence additional holes are warranted to adequately test such a sizeable target. Accordingly another hole will be drilled in the near-term to evaluate the western end of this anomaly.

3. FORWARD PLANS
The two drilling rigs are currently operating:
in the region between Lense 5 and Lense 2 (CD15-24), and
at the Lense 6 East Target (CD15-26; see Figure 1).
Immediately following completion of these holes it is planned to drill another hole to evaluate the western end of the Caribou South Target.
Analytical data are yet to be received for 8 completed drill holes (CD15-18 to CD15-23, and CD15-25 and CD15-27) as well as the two that are in progress (CD15-24 and CD15-26).
The next batch of assay results is expected in the next 7-10 days. Additional results are expected regularly thereafter.

(It is noted that the sources of some of the highest priority targets are modelled to be greater than and less than 100 metres deep - so not all targets appear as intense anomalies in the 100m depth slice plan above), please visit the following link: http://file.marketwire.com/release/CYY_figs.pdf

Note: Within the reported mineralized intervals in CD15-03 and CD15-04, in both holes, there were two separate intervals of 0% core recovery that totaled 1.2 metres per hole. Within the first reported mineralized interval in CD15-06, there was a 1.2m interval of 0% core recovery and in the second reported mineralized interval there was a 0.7m interval of 0% core recovery. Within the first reported mineralized interval in CD15-13 there was a 0.3m interval of 0% core recovery. These intervals have been assumed to be mineralized at the average grade of the overall mineralized interval.
