Chairman’s Letter
Coventry Resources Limited 3 2012 Report to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholder
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for Coventry Resources Limited for 2012.
During the year the Company made great headway in its endeavours to become a mid-tier gold producer. Most of
our efforts were focused on our 100%-owned Cameron Gold Project in Ontario, Canada, which, with a resource
base that now exceeds 1.4 million ounces of gold, provides the Company with its nearest term development
opportunity.
Considerable progress was also made at the earlier stage, but significantly under-explored and highly prospective
Rainy River Project. Located approximately 100 kilometres to the south, covering the extensions of the geological
sequence that hosts the 8 million ounce Rainy River Gold Deposit, our Rainy River Project certainly complements
the Cameron Gold Project by providing enormous exploration upside with the added benefit of operational
synergies.
Having firmed up the confidence in the shallow resources with successful exploration at the Cameron Gold Project
early in the year, the Company is now finalising its evaluation of the potential to develop an initial mining operation
at the Project. While considerable scope remains for resource expansion and mine-life extension from exploration
success within the Company’s 12,700 hectare project area, the Company is optimistic that favourable economics
will be indicated when this first-stage mining study is completed towards the end of calendar 2012. Should the
economics warrant, we intend progressing a definitive feasibility study and mine permitting as quickly as possible
thereafter.
The upside of the Cameron Gold Project is illustrated by our recent acquisition of the neighbouring 1,650 hectare
West Cedartree Gold Project, located only 10 kilometres to the west of our main Cameron Gold Deposit. As part of
this transaction additional shallow resources will be incorporated into the Company’s resource base for the
combined Project. We anticipate these resources will extend the life of the mining operation. Dozens of targets
within this new area and elsewhere within the current Cameron Project remain significantly underexplored. These
provide considerable opportunity to continue to add to the resource base. Sensible, staged exploration programs
will be implemented as we move closer towards production.
During the year we continued to build on our outstanding team of personnel, with the recruitment of Mr Michael
Naylor to the position of Managing Director/CEO. In order to maximise his input into the Company’s activities, Mike
relocated from Perth to Toronto immediately following his appointment. We have also been very fortunate to benefit
from Mr Steven Chadwick’s input into our mining assessment studies. Steve is a very experienced metallurgist who
has been intimately involved in mining operations throughout his long career and his guidance on our development
plans is reaping considerable rewards. I thank Mike and Steve, our Directors, all other staff and consultants for the
considerable contribution they have made throughout the year.
Corporately, the Directors recently entered into an agreement with Crescent Gold Corp., which is listed on the TSX
Venture Exchange, whereby we are implementing a merger of the Company with Crescent that will result in current
Coventry shareholders owning approximately 87.25% of the merged entity. Following completion of the merger in
December 2012 we will be dual listed on both the TSX-V and the ASX. We anticipate substantial benefits to
Coventry shareholders as, amongst many other things, a Canadian listing will provide us greater access to capital
while also providing the Company greater exposure to North American investors, which is expected to facilitate

higher valuation of our assets as it will be easier for investors to directly compare our valuation with that of our
peers that also own North American gold projects, most of which are listed on North American exchanges.
As shareholders in a very challenging economic period, I thank you for your support which has allowed us to have a
very productive year in 2012. I hope you will continue to support us through 2013 and beyond as we implement our
plans to become a producer of gold in the near term, which will allow us to capitalise on the record high prevailing
gold prices and to maximise returns to you as a shareholder.
Sincerely
Michael Haynes

Location of the Cameron and Rainy River Gold Projects, Ontario, Canada.
CAMERON GOLD PROJECT, ONTARIO, CANADA
Location Access and Tenure The Cameron Gold Project is located approximately 80km southeast of the city of Kenora (population approximately
15,000) and 82km northwest of the city of Fort Frances (population approximately 9,000), near the US border in the
southern-most part of western Ontario, Canada.
The project is located some four hours by road from Winnipeg (population approximately 650,000), the capital of
the Province of Manitoba. The nearest population centres are the small towns of Nestor Falls and Sioux Narrows,
located some 24km and 30km away respectively.
Direct access to the Project is provided by an all-weather gravel road extending for 22 kilometres east from
Provincial Highway 71. Logging roads provide local access to the majority of the Project area. High-voltage power
lines traverse within 30km along Highway 71.
Most services, skills and supplies are readily available in the centres of Kenora and Fort Frances, with Winnipeg
providing specialist consulting services.

Coventry Resources Limited 6 2012 Report to Shareholders
The Cameron Gold Project comprises 12,747 hectares made up of a granted mining lease that encompasses 1,034
hectares together with 20 unpatented claims totalling 1,984 hectares and 7 licences of occupation totalling 72.5
hectares.
The Company’s land holding at the Cameron Gold Project, together with the location of known gold prospects and occurrences, that are all associated with a gold corridor related to the Cameron and Monte Cristo Shear Zones.
JORC Code Compliant Mineral Resources In October 2011, following completion of a 29,212 metre drilling program at the Cameron Gold Deposit, Coventry
integrated its drilling information with all historic information to calculate a mineral resource estimate at a 1.0 g/t cut-
off grade following the guidelines of the JORC Code as presented in Table 1.

considerable upside to continue to expand the potential resource with further exploration at the Cameron Gold
Deposit itself and elsewhere within the Project area, the Company commissioned a PEA to determine the
economic viability of developing an initial open pit mining operation at the Cameron Gold Project.
Coventry engaged Lycododium Limited to manage and finalise the PEA. Lycopodium is a highly regarded
engineering and project management consultancy which has assembled a strong technical team from both its
Australian and Canadian offices.
The Company also engaged Mr Steven Chadwick as a senior consultant, adding further strength to the
Company’s technical team. Mr Chadwick’s immediate focus has been to manage the completion of the PEA for
the development of the Cameron Gold Project, in preparation for taking the Project into production.
Mr Chadwick has over 35 years’ experience in the mining industry, including technical, operational and
management roles in gold and base metals mining and processing. He was the Managing Director of PacMin
Mining, which produced over 320,000 ounces of gold annually and has extensive experience in metallurgical
consulting, feasibility studies and project management in Australia and Canada.
The results from the PEA, which will include production, operating and capital cost estimates, are expected to
be available in December 2012.

Coventry Resources Limited 8 2012 Report to Shareholders
Metallurgy Positive results were received from a metallurgical test work program undertaken on a sample that is considered
representative of material that would be mined by open pit and underground methods.
Whole ore leach testing resulted in average recoveries of 93.3% of the contained gold.
This preliminary test work demonstrates that the mineralisation from the Cameron Gold Deposit is readily amenable
to a conventional crush, grind and CIL treatment route.
In addition, preliminary communition test work was conducted with the following outcomes:
• Ball mill bond index (BWI) averaged 12.4 kWh/t indicating low to moderate crushing and power
requirements;
• Rod Mill Bond (RWI) index averaged 15.5 kWh/t; and
• The abrasion indices averaged 0.328 indicating a moderate liner and media wear rate in crushing and
grinding circuits.
The test-work, performed by SGS in Vancouver, has shown the sample has low to moderate work indices and does
not exhibit excessive crushing and grinding power requirements or abrasive issues, which is a positive outcome.
Environmental and Archaeological Studies Contractors for the Company (DST Consulting Engineers) have completed the summer wildlife monitoring
component of the environmental baseline study required for the application of mine permits. Further wildlife studies
will be conducted during the northern hemisphere winter. Water quality and flow monitoring is being conducted on a
continuous basis at stations located in drill holes and in a nearby creek. Additional environmental assessment work
is scheduled to commence once the site layout for the potential operation has been finalised.
The Company, in partnership with Archaeological Services Inc, continues to engage with the local First Nation
communities to collect and document sites of cultural and archaeological significance. It is the policy of the
Company that this data is shared with the communities. The work conducted indicates that no sites of cultural and
archaeological significance are located in the potential development area for a mining operation at the Cameron
Gold Deposit.
CAMERON GOLD PROJECT EXPLORATION Geology and Mineralisation The Cameron Gold Project is located in the western part of the Archaean-aged Superior Province. This highly-
endowed geological terrane extends over most of Ontario and Quebec and into the eastern part of Manitoba in
Canada, as well as into Minnesota in the USA.
The mineralisation at the Cameron Gold Deposit is hosted by mafic volcanic rocks within the northwest-trending
Cameron Lake Shear Zone, which forms the contact between these lithologies and dolerite in the footwall.
Higher grade mineralisation at the Cameron Gold Deposit comprises quartz-albite veins and breccia associated
with intense silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite alteration in a series of zones that dip moderate to steeply to the

northeast and plunge steeply to the northwest. Gold is associated with disseminated pyrite, with high sulphide
concentrations generally corresponding with higher grades. Visible gold is present, but rare. Mineralisation remains
open along strike to the northwest and at depth.
Cross section through the Cameron Gold Deposit – Section 50120N.
2011/2012 Exploration Program
Results from a 53 hole diamond drilling program (7,050 metres) were received in the first quarter of 2012. The
objectives of the program were to:
1. Test plunge extensions in the south-eastern part of the Deposit that are currently not incorporated in the
resource block model.
2. Test along strike extensions of the Deposit to the northwest and southeast.
3. Test structural and geophysical targets along the Cameron Lake Shear Zone.
As all these drill holes were located in reasonable proximity to the Cameron Gold Deposit their results affect the
potential site layout of any possible mine development, and hence their completion also comprised part of the
sterilisation program required prior to mine development.

Coventry Resources Limited 10 2012 Report to Shareholders
Several significant intercepts were returned in holes drilled to test the plunge extensions of the Cameron Gold
Deposit to the southeast, including:
13.0 metres at 2.40 g/t gold from 147.0 metres
7.0 metres at 2.57 g/t gold from 206.0 metres
4.0 metres at 2.78 g/t gold from 33.1 metres
A number of anomalous gold intersections were recorded in holes drilled to evaluate both the north-western and
south-eastern strike extents of the Deposit, suggesting that the Cameron Lake Shear Zone and associated
structures remain mineralised. Of interest is an area 400m to the southeast of the Deposit, where a shallow low-
grade intercept of 6.0 metres @ 0.98 g/t gold was returned from 1.9 metres. This mineralisation is located near the
outer edge of a newly identified gold in till “train” which may be derived from the interpreted extension of the
Cameron Lake Shear Zone.
In addition to this work, an extensive geochemical pit sampling program (98 pits) and a limited reverse circulation
(RC) overburden drilling program (35 holes - 300m) was completed during late 2011 and during the northern
hemisphere spring of 2012 in the western part of the Project area. This geochemical sampling has outlined some 10
anomalies worthy of follow up, including significant anomalies to the northwest and southeast of the Cameron Gold
Deposit. WEST CEDARTREE GOLD PROJECT, ONTARIO, CANADA
Location of the West Cedartree Gold Project in relation to the Cameron Gold Project.
In June 2012, Coventry reached agreement to acquire 100% of Houston Lake Mining Incorporated’s (TSX-V: HLM;
“Houston Lake”) West Cedartree Gold Project, located 10 kilometres west-north west of the Cameron Gold Deposit.
The West Cedartree Gold Project incorporates mineral rights over 16.51 km², which can be readily accessed via
the all-weather road that was constructed to access the Cameron Gold Deposit.

Geology
The Project area principally covers the sheared contact between mafic volcanic rocks and an upper sequence of
mostly intermediate volcanic rocks, with minor sedimentary rocks. A series of prominent gabbro sills have intruded
the upper sequence prior to being folded. Felsic to intermediate intrusive rocks also occur throughout the sequence.
Dubenski Gold Deposit
Gold mineralisation at Dubenski is hosted by a sub-vertical shear zone that is up to 20m wide over a strike of 400m.
Mineralisation to date has been delineated to a vertical depth of more than 150m. The mineralisation consists of
fine-grained pyrite and free gold associated with carbonate, sericite, silica and locally, fuchsite alteration within
strongly-deformed mafic volcanic rocks. The mineralisation is open in all directions.
The Dubenski mineralisation was first discovered in the 1930s, with a 27m deep exploration shaft constructed in
1946, which was further deepened to 40m in 1950. Exploration has subsequently been undertaken intermittently,
with the majority of previous work being completed in the late 1990s and more recently by Houston Lake.
Utilising information from 72 drill holes a JORC-Code compliant mineral resource estimate was calculated for the
Dubenski Gold Deposit in January 2009 under NI 43-101 regulations1.

Subsequent exploration has included completion of a further 42 drill holes (6,602 metres). Results from this drilling
are yet to be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate. The Company intends calculating an updated
JORC-Code compliant mineral resource estimate, incorporating all drilling information, in the coming months.
Angel Hill Prospect
The Angel Hill Prospect is located 2.8km to the west of the Dubenski Gold Deposit. The mineralisation at Angel Hill
is contained within a shear zone at the contact of differential units within a gabbro sill. It comprises silica, carbonate
and sericite alteration that ranges from 1-11m wide over a strike of 130m and to a vertical depth of 75m. Visible
gold is common in discontinuous quartz veins. The mineralisation is also associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite,
galena and molybdenite. The mineralisation is open along strike to the south and at depth.
In May 2006 Houston Lake extracted a 1,041 tonne bulk sample that yielded a total of 190 ounces of gold at an
average grade of 5.67 g/t gold after processing at a third party mill.
Based on the historic work completed by Houston Lake, which demonstrated that the mineralisation is continuous
from section to section and of a mineable grade and thickness and that the mineralised zone is open to the south
and at depth, the Company has determined an initial Exploration Target² for the Angel Hill Prospect of:
150,000-250,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.5-1.8 g/t gold for approximately 7,700-12,900 ounces of gold²
² The potential quantities and grades presented are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination for a Mineral Resource.

Dogpaw Prospect
The Dogpaw Prospect comprises six identified vein sets that extend over a strike of 310m and to a vertical depth of
210m. Gold mineralisation occurs mainly in gabbro at the contact with mafic volcanic rocks where porphyry
intrusions are apparently localised by a series of northwest-trending faults.
In 1995 a 500 ton bulk sample was extracted and processed at a third party smelter. The average grade of this
sample was 6.53 g/t gold.
Houston Lake completed a 17 hole (2,561m) drilling program in 2007. Results included intercepts of up to 7.5m at
29.9 g/t gold.
Other Gold Occurrences
Numerous other gold occurrences have been identified by previous explorers within the Project area. These
include:
Robertson Prospect
A north-south trending mineralised shear zone identified over a strike length of 200m. A recent 2011 drill program of
fifteen holes (2,522m) by Houston Lake returned intercepts of up to 38.7m at 1.41 g/t gold (including 3.0m at 8.80
g/t gold). The mineralisation remains open in all directions.
McLennan Prospect
Located at the sheared contact between mafic volcanic rocks and gabbro, the mineralised zone has been traced
over a strike of more than 450m. A recent 2011 drill program of 15 holes (3,000m) by Houston Lake returned
intercepts of up to 4.9m at 2.54 g/t gold. The mineralisation remains open in all directions.
Forward Work Program
The Company has commenced work to update the mineral resource estimates for the Dubenski, Dogpaw and
Angel Hill Gold Deposits.
Additional drilling will be undertaken at the West Cedartree Project in conjunction with further exploration at the
Cameron Gold Project, with the aim of extending the mineral resources at the known deposits and delineating new
resources at other prospects within the Project area. A significant number of gold occurrences have been identified
since the 1930s and many of these showings have had minimal work completed. Therefore the Project is highly
prospective and there is significant potential to discover additional mineral resources.
Commercial Terms
In June 2012 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent with Houston Lake to acquire 100% of the West
Cedartree Gold Project. The Company has paid Houston Lake $100,000. It will pay a further $400,000 cash and
issue Houston Lake 7.7 million shares in the Company on completion of due diligence; on execution of a
comprehensive Purchase and Sale Agreement; and once licences are transferred to the Company. HLM will
reserve a 2.5% NSR royalty on approximately 20% of the Project area around the Robertson Prospect.
The acquisition of the West Cedartree Gold Project further consolidates the Company’s interest in the mineral
resources around the Cameron Gold Deposit thereby concentrating ownership of the ‘gold camp’ in the region,
which has been a stated objective of the Company since acquiring the Cameron Gold Project. This acquisition is
expected to have a positive impact on the economics of developing a mining operation at the Cameron Gold
Deposit. The Company also considers there is considerable potential to delineate additional resources at the West
Cedartree Gold Project with further exploration.

2011/2012 Exploration Program During the year the Company completed an inaugural RC overburden drilling program with a total of 181 holes
drilled for 4,349 metres. Eight definitive gold anomalies worthy of further follow-up work have been delineated from
this program. In addition, a semi-massive sulphide body, anomalous in precious and base metals, was also
intersected during the drilling program as well as a number of Ni-Cu-Co-Cr and Zn-Pb-Cu base metal anomalies.
In addition to this work, reconnaissance geological mapping and geochemical pit sampling (53 pits) was also
completed.
ARDEEN GOLD PROJECT, ONTARIO, CANADA During the past year the Company has focused its efforts on the exploration and development of the Cameron Gold
Project. As such only minimal work was completed at the Ardeen Gold Project during the year. The Company has
earned a 51% interest in the Project and is currently evaluating future options regarding further work.
CORPORATE TSX Venture Exchange Listing
In September 2012, Coventry entered into a definitive merger implementation agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Crescent Resources Corp. (TSX-V:CRC) (“Crescent”), pursuant to which the two companies will merge (“merger”). The combined company (“merged entity”) will make application to have its shares listed and tradable on both the
TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) immediately after the merger is
completed, thereby providing Coventry shareholders greater exposure to the North American equity markets.
Crescent is a TSX-V listed gold exploration company holding approximately C$900,000 in cash and the Uncle Sam
Gold Project in Alaska. In October 2012, Crescent raised an additional C$750,000 resulting in Crescent having
approximately C$1.6m in cash (before costs).
Under the terms of the Agreement, Crescent will acquire Coventry by means of a court sanctioned scheme of
arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act. Following the merger, Coventry shareholders will own 87.26%
of the common shares in the merged entity.
The benefits of the transaction to Coventry shareholders include:
Senior management based in Toronto and Vancouver to help increase exposure to the Canadian investor and
research community that is more familiar with the potential, development and valuations of Canadian mining
projects;
Direct exposure to the TSX-V, which is renowned for superior trading liquidity and access to equity finance in
the mining industry;
Positioning of the merged entity among a large geographic peer group to allow investors to better assess
relative merit and value;
Strong cash position allowing the merged company to complete the PEA on the Cameron Gold Project and
recommence exploration in the first quarter of 2013;
Allowing the merged company to fund future exploration activities in Canada via tax-advantaged ‘flow-through’
financing;

DIVIDENDS No dividend was paid or declared by the Company in the year and up to the date of this report.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE Coventry Resources Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the financial year, the principal activity was mineral exploration. At the date of this report the Company holds four
gold projects in Canada.
EMPLOYEES The Group had 18 employees at 30 June 2012 (2011: 17).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Cameron Gold Project During the past year Coventry Resources Limited embarked on a Preliminary Economic Study (“PEA”) and continued to
aggressively explore the Cameron Gold Project (“Project”) in Ontario, Canada, while simultaneously acquiring additional
baseline environmental data so that the Company can move the Project through to mine permitting. Exploration of the
project has been ongoing.
Results from a 53 hole diamond drilling program (7,050 metres) were received in the first quarter of 2012. The objectives of
the program were to:
4. Test plunge extensions in the south-eastern part of the Deposit that are currently not incorporated in the resource
block model.
5. Test along strike extensions of the Deposit to the northwest and southeast.
6. Test structural and geophysical targets along the Cameron Lake Shear Zone.
As all these drill holes were located in reasonable proximity to the Cameron Gold Deposit their results affect the potential
site layout of any possible mine development, and hence their completion also comprised part of the sterilisation program
required prior to mine development.

Directors’ Report
Coventry Resources Limited 31 2012 Report to Shareholders
Several significant intercepts were returned in holes drilled to test the plunge extensions of the Cameron Gold Deposit to the
southeast, including:
13.0 metres at 2.40 g/t gold from 147.0 metres
7.0 metres at 2.57 g/t gold from 206.0 metres
4.0 metres at 2.78 g/t gold from 33.1 metres
A number of anomalous gold intersections were recorded in holes drilled to evaluate both the north-western and south-
eastern strike extents of the Deposit, suggesting that the Cameron Lake Shear Zone and associated structures remain
mineralised. Of interest is an area 400m to the southeast of the Deposit, where a shallow low grade intercept returned 6.0
metres @ 0.98 g/t gold from 1.9 metres. This result is located near the outer edge of a newly identified gold in till “train”
which may be derived from the interpreted extension of the Cameron Lake Shear Zone.
In addition to this work, an extensive geochemical pit sampling program and a limited reverse circulation (RC) overburden
drilling program was completed during late 2011 and during the northern hemisphere spring of 2012 in the western part of
the project area. This geochemical sampling has recorded some 10 anomalies worthy of follow up, including significant
anomalies to the northwest and southeast of the Cameron Gold Deposit.
Work planned for the Cameron Gold project includes additional drilling within the deposit to provided further geotechnical
information for pit slope design and to better defined aspects of the resource model that will likely lead to improvements in
the economics of the project. Gold in till anomalies both near the deposit, and in a regional sense will be further defined by
infill pit sampling and RC drilling where appropriate. . Anomalies delineated will be tested by diamond drilling during the
northern hemisphere spring.
Wider-spaced pit sampling of the central and eastern parts of the project area will also be undertaken in order to generate
additional targets to grow the exploration pipeline with the objective of adding further resources to the project.
Rainy River Gold Project The Company continued to acquire mineral rights adjacent to the rapidly expanding 8.0Moz Rainy River Gold Deposit and is
currently the second-largest landholder in the district.
During the year the Company completed an inaugural RC overburden drilling program with a total of 181 holes drilled for
4,349 metres. Eight definitive gold anomalies worthy of further follow-up work have been delineated from this program. In
addition, a semi-massive sulphide body, anomalous in precious and base metals, was also intersected during the drilling
program as well as a number of Ni-Cu-Co-Cr and Zn-Pb-Cu base metal anomalies. Follow-up drilling and other ground work
over all defined anomalies are currently being planned, with work scheduled to commence early in 2013 during the northern
hemisphere winter.
A total of 6,000m of infill and extensional Air Core (AC) and RC drilling will comprise the winter 2013 program. Anomalies
delineated will be tested by first-pass diamond drilling during the northern hemisphere spring. In addition to this, a 100m
line-spaced, high-resolution airborne magnetic survey will also be completed over the region encompassing the Company’s
claims. This survey is planned to commence in February 2013.
West Cedartree Gold Project During the year the Company reached agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the West Cedartree Gold Project located
10km west of the Cameron Gold Project. The Project hosts a JORC-Code compliant Indicated and Inferred mineral resource
estimate at the Dubenski Gold Deposit (Table 2) totalling:

573,000 tonnes at a grade of 3.50 g/t gold for 64,500 ounces of gold (0.65 g/t gold cut-off).
Consideration payable comprises $500,000 (the remaining $400,000 due in October 2012) and 7.7 million shares in the
Company which are expected to be issued in October 2012.
Currently the Company is updating the JORC-code compliant mineral resource estimates for the Dubenski and Angel Hill
deposits. It is anticipated that JORC-code compliant mineral resource estimate for the Dogpaw Prospect will also be
completed towards the end of 2012.
Additional drilling will be undertaken at the West Cedartree Project in conjunction with further exploration at the Cameron
Gold Project, with the aim of extending the mineral resources at the known deposits and delineating new resources at other
prospects within the Project area.
Ardeen Gold Project, Ontario, Canada During the past year the Company has focused its efforts on the exploration and development of the Cameron Gold Project
and as such only minimal work was completed on the Ardeen Gold Project during the year.
The Company has earned a 51% interest in this Project and is assessing a number of options for the project..
Other Opportunities Coventry continues to evaluate and pursue other opportunities in Canada and the USA that may strategically add value to
the Company.

Directors’ Report

The lack of a performance link at this time is not considered to have a negative impact on retaining and motivating Directors.
As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the Board has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee
Charter. Due to the current size of the Company and the Group and number of directors, the Board has elected not to create
a separate Remuneration Committee but has instead decided to undertake the function of the Committee as a full Board
under the guidance of the formal charter. The Company and the Group has no policy on executives and directors entering
into contracts to hedge their exposure to options or shares granted as part of their remuneration package.
The rewards for Directors’ have no set or pre-determined performance conditions or key performance indicators as part of
their remuneration due to the current nature of the business operations. The Board determines appropriate levels of
performance rewards as and when they consider rewards are warranted.

The Board has accepted the following definition of an Independent Director:
• “An Independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management, is a non-executive Director and who:
o is not a substantial shareholder (under the meaning of Corporations Act 2001) of the Company or an
officer of, or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a substantial shareholder of the Company;
o has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another
Group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
o is not a principal of a professional adviser to the Company or another Group member;

Director of the Company;
o is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be
perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.”
In accordance with the definition of independence above, a majority of Directors are considered not independent due to the
number of shares and share options held by each Director.
There are procedures in place, as agreed by the Board, to enable Directors to seek independent professional advice on
issues arising in the course of their duties at the Company’s expense. Such advice is to be shared amongst other Directors.
The term in office held by each Director at the date of this report is as follows:
Name Term in office
Mr. Michael Haynes 2 years and 11 months
Mr. Michael Naylor 3 months
Mr. Anthony Goddard 2 years and 11 months

procedures outlined in the Nomination Committee Charter. At such time when the Company is of sufficient size a separate
Nomination Committee will be formed.

of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial and non financial-information. It is the
Board’s responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control.
Performance The Board conducts its performance review of itself on an ongoing basis throughout the year. The small size of the
Company and hands on management style requires an increased level of interaction between Directors and Executives
throughout the year. Board members meet amongst themselves both formally and informally. The Board considers that the
current approach that it has adopted with regard to the review of its performance provides the best guidance and value to
the Company.
Remuneration It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board by
remunerating Directors fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. The Board does
not link the nature and amount of executive and Directors’ emoluments to the Company’s financial and operational
performance.
For details of remuneration of Directors and Executives please refer to the Directors’ Report.
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for Directors and management. The
Board has formally adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter however given the present size of the Company, has not
formed a separate Committee. Instead the function will be undertaken by the full Board in accordance with the policies and
procedures outlined in the Remuneration Committee Charter. At such time when the Company is of sufficient size a
separate Remuneration Committee will be formed. There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to non-executive Directors. Assurance The CEO and CFO periodically provide formal statements to the Board that in all material aspects:
• the Company’s financial statements present a true and fair view of the company’s financial condition and
operational results; and
• the risk management and internal compliance and control systems are sound, appropriate and operating efficiently
and effectively.
This assurance forms part of the process by which the Board determines the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control systems in relation to financial reporting risks.

Coventry Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2011
Coventry Resources Limited 47 2012 Report to Shareholders
1. Corporate Information The financial report of Coventry Resources Limited (“Coventry” or “the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) for
the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 28 September
2012.
Coventry Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on
the Australian Securities Exchange and a for profit entity.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ report.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
(a) Compliance Statement The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(b) Going Concern The financial statements for the year have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
During the year the Company incurred an operating loss of $5,578,898 (2011: $1,502,135). Net cash outflow from
operations was $2,168,922 (2011: $1,138,783). Net cash outflow for investing activities was $7,313,442 (2011: $8,127,940).
Net cash inflow from financing activities was $4,479,057 (2011: $11,189,511).
The Directors consider the basis of going concern to be appropriate for the following reasons:
• The Company has, since listing on ASX becoming Coventry Resources Limited in late 2009, operated on a
program of income and expenditure designed to ensure that there are at all times sufficient funds in hand to
continue operations for the foreseeable future, whilst at the same time focusing on its mineral exploration and
development projects in an effective manner.
• Exploration and development efficiency has been achieved by focus upon the Company’s gold assets in a
prioritised manner, rather than by a blanket method, so as to conserve funds whilst at the same time
maintaining active exploration programs.
• The Company’s exploration projects are located in the major gold mining regions of Ontario, Canada where
excellent infrastructure exists, enabling efficient and cost effective exploration.
• With a relatively small issued capital, no debt, and owning all of its prospective exploration projects outright,
the company has the ability to raise funds via equity financing or other financial arrangements in relation to its
mining industry assets.

Coventry Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2011
Coventry Resources Limited 48 2012 Report to Shareholders
• On 12 September 2012, the Group announced that it had received commitments to raise $1.3 million through
the placement of 23.6 million new shares at a price of $0.055 per share to institutional investors.
• On 10 September 2012, the Group announced that it had entered into a definitive merger implementation
agreement with Crescent Resources Corp. (“Crescent”), pursuant to which the two companies will merge.
The combined company will make application to have its shares listed and tradeable on both the TSX
Venture Exchange (TSX-V) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) immediately after the merger is
completed. Pursuant to the Agreement, it is proposed that Crescent will undertake a 1:5 consolidation of its
common shares prior to completion of the merger. Crescent will then offer to acquire all of Coventry’s fully
paid ordinary shares on the basis of 0.2513 “post-consolidation” shares of Crescent for each share of
Coventry. Crescent will have approximately $1.6m in cash (before costs) which will increase the cash
balance of the combined entity.
Should the matters discussed above not be achieved, there is a material uncertainty whether the Company will be able to
continue as a going concern, and therefore, whether it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other
than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from these stated in the financial report. The financial report
does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
(c) New accounting standards and interpretations Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
The Group has adopted all of the new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations that
became effective during the year. The adoption of the Standards or Interpretation did not have material impact on the
financial statements of the Group.
New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The following applicable accounting standards and interpretations have been issued or amended but are not yet effective.
These standards have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012, and no change to the Group’s
accounting policy is required.

2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112]
These amendments address the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value and introduce a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value should be determined on the basis that the carrying amount will be recoverable through sale. The amendments also incorporate SIC-21 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 112.

This Standard requires entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they might be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that will not.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7.
1 July 2013
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and UIG-113 Jointly- controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of whether joint control exists may change. In addition it removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for using the equity method. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-7 and amendments to AASB 128.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgments made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.
1 July 2013
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8.
1 July 2013
AASB 119 Employee Benefits The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10.
1 July 2013
Interpretation 20
Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
This interpretation applies to stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine. Production stripping costs are to be capitalised as part of an asset, if an entity can demonstrate that it is probable future economic benefits will be realised, the costs can be reliably measured and the entity can identify the component of an ore body for which access has been improved. This asset is to be called the “stripping activity asset”. The stripping activity asset shall be depreciated or amortised on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The units of production method shall be applied unless another method is more appropriate.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-12.

AASB 9** Financial Instruments AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below. (a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be
classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
(c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.
(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: ► The change attributable to changes in credit risk
are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI)
► The remaining change is presented in profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.
1 July 2015
* These IFRS amendments have not yet been adopted by the AASB. In order to claim compliance with IFRS, these amendments should be noted in the financial statements. ** AASB ED 215 Mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 proposes to defer the mandatory effective date of AASB 9 from annual periods beginning 1 January 2013 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with early application permitted. At the time of preparation, finalisation of standard is still pending by the AASB. However, the IASB has deferred the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with early application permitted.
The group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations and is in the process of assessing the impact
of these new standards and interpretations on the Group’s future financial statements.
(d) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Coventry Resources Limited and its subsidiaries
as at 30 June each year (‘the Group’).

Coventry Resources Limited 54 2012 Report to Shareholders
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using
consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and
transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated
from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
(e) Income Tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted
or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
No deferred income tax will be recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will
not reverse in the near future.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is
settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it relates to items that may be
credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient
future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the
law. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and only recognised to the extent that
sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and
other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown as

Coventry Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2011
Coventry Resources Limited 55 2012 Report to Shareholders
current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(g) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an
allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off
when identified.
(h) Plant and equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the
financial period in which it is incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the Group
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Computer Equipment 33%
All other categories 10%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses
are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(i) Exploration Expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of
interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does
not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining
operation.

Coventry Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2011
Coventry Resources Limited 56 2012 Report to Shareholders
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the
following conditions is met:
• such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of
interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or
• exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active
and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is written off, furthermore, the directors regularly review the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be
recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the
requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on
a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions referred to in AASB 6 is met.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is
accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not
expected to be recovered.
When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off.
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s rights of tenure to
that area of interest are current.
(j) Impairment of non financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those
from other assets or categories of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In
such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered
impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses
relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired
asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is

y
Coventry Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2011
Coventry Resources Limited 57 2012 Report to Shareholders
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such
reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount,
less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(k) Trade and other payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration
to be paid in the future for goods and services received that are unpaid, whether or not billed to the Group.
(l) Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase
consideration.
(m) Revenue Revenue is recognised and measured to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and
the revenue is capable of being reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before
revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset.
(n) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs
of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for:
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
• the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised as expenses; and
• other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution
of potential ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.

Coventry Resources Limited 58 2012 Report to Shareholders
(o) Share based payment transactions (a) The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and providing services similar to employees (including
Directors) of the group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby individuals render services in exchange
for shares or rights over shares (‘equity settled transactions’).
(b)
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which
they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 23.
In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the
price of the shares of the Company (‘market conditions’).
The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in
which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to
the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the
extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the group,
will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made
for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the
determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents
the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a
market condition.
Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not
been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the
modification, as measured at the date of the modification.
Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense
not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award,
and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they
were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
(p) Goods and Services Tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are
shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables or
payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which is receivable from or payable to the ATO, are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(q) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation currency of
Coventry Resources Limited and Coventry Australia Pty Ltd is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the overseas
subsidiaries is Canadian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as
follows:
• assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at
the date of that Statement of Financial Position;
• income and expenses for each Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange
rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which
case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity.
When a foreign operation is sold the exchange differences relating to that entity are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
(r) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal
ownership, that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the
leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease
payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will
obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.
Leases are classified as operating leases where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor.
Payments in relation to operating leases are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of
the lease term.

(s) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Coventry Resources Limited.
(t) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows
at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and where appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
a finance cost.
(u) Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the
assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity
issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the
acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the
acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies
and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host
contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be
recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent
consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.
(v) Comparatives Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation and disclosure requirements 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

Coventry Resources Limited 61 2012 Report to Shareholders
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves
The Group estimates its mineral resources and ore reserves in accordance with the Australian Code for Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2004 (the ‘JORC code’). The information on mineral resources
and ore reserves were prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC code. The
amounts presented are based on the mineral resources and ore reserves determined under the JORC code.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid
at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.
Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the
economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves could
impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values, deferred stripping costs and provisions for
decommissioning and restoration.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors,
including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related
exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources,
future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to
environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this
will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the
extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and net
assets in the period in which this determination is made.
Share based payment transactions
The group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking
into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 23.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
Functional currency translation reserve
Under the Accounting Standards, each entity within the Group is required to determine its functional currency, which is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Management considers the Canadian subsidiary
to be a foreign operation with Canadian dollars as the functional currency. In arriving at this determination, management has
given priority to the currency that influences the labour, materials and other costs of exploration activities as they consider
this to be a primary indicator of the functional currency.

20. Related Party Disclosures The ultimate parent entity is Coventry Resources Limited. Refer to Note 7 Investment in Subsidiaries for a list of all
subsidiaries.
For Director related party transactions please refer to Note 19 “Key Management Personnel Disclosures”. There were no
other related party transactions during the year (2011: nil).
21. Operating Segment For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which involves mining exploration for
gold. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief
Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis
of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the
Group as a whole. Total revenue (interest revenue) earned by the Group is generated in Australia and all the Group’s non
current assets reside in Canada.
22. Financial Risk Management Exposure to interest rate, liquidity, commodity price risk and credit risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business.
The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments.
The Company uses different methods as discussed below to manage risks that arise from these financial instruments. The
objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security
(a) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business
and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests
with the Board of Directors.
Alternatives for sourcing our future capital needs include our cash position and the issue of equity instruments. These
alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs.
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011, all financial
liabilities contractually mature within 30 days.
(b) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of
financial instruments.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term deposits. The Group manages
the risk by investing in short term deposits.

Interest rate sensitivity The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income to a reasonably
possible change in interest rates, with all other variables constant.

Decrease 100 basis points (29,854) (79,681) (29,854) (79,681)
A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term
and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements
and management’s judgement of future trends. The analysis was performed on the same basis in 2011.
(c) Commodity Price Risk The Group is exposed to commodity price risk from its activities directed at exploration for commodities. A fall in the price of
mineral commodities may result in a decline of market sentiment thus affecting our ability to raise additional capital in the
future.
(d) Credit Risk Exposures Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge obligation and cause the
Group to incur a financial loss. The Group’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the Statement of
Financial Position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.
At 30 June 2012, the Group held cash and term deposits. Cash and term deposits were held with an institution with a
rating from Standard & Poors of AA or above (long term). The Group has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June
2012 (2011: Nil).
(e) Foreign Currency Risk Exposures As a result of operations in Canada and expenditure in Canadian dollars, the Group’s statement of financial position can be
affected by movements in the CAD/AUD exchange rates. The Group seeks to mitigate the effect of its foreign currency
exposure by holding a majority of its cash in Canadian dollars to match expenditure commitments.
23. Share Based Payment Plans (a) Recognised share based payment expenses Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised during the year as part of share based payment
expense were as follows:

(b) Employee share based payment plan The Group has established an employee share option plan (ESOP). The objective of the ESOP is to assist in the
recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees of Coventry Resources and its subsidiaries. Under the ESOP,
the Directors may invite individuals acting in a manner similar to employees to participate in the ESOP and receive options.
An individual may receive the options or nominate a relative or associate to receive the options. The plan is open to
executive officers, nominated consultants and employees of Coventry Resources and its subsidiaries.
The fair value at grant date of options granted during the reporting period was determined using the Black Scholes option
pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The table below summaries options granted under ESOP:
