ASX Announcement 24 December 2020
Tumblegum South Gold Processing Agreement Provides processing plant access for gold production in 2021
Highlights:
-
Conditional agreement provides access to Adaman Resources’ processing facility at the Kirkalocka Gold Mine to treat material mined from Tumblegum South gold deposit
-
The Tumblegum South gold deposit has an Inferred Mineral Resource of 600,000 tonnes @ 2.2 g/t Au for 42,500 oz Au
-
Parties will work together to satisfy Conditions Precedent ahead of signing binding agreement in 2021
-
Final agreement to be structured as a 50/50 profit share arrangement
Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or “the Company”) (ASX:BYH) is pleased to announce the execution of a Development Agreement (“Agreement”) with Kirkalocka Gold SPV Pty Ltd (“Kirkalocka”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adaman Resources Pty Ltd, in respect to the Company’s Tumblegum South gold deposit (“Deposit”) located in the gold-rich Meekatharra region of Western Australia.
The Agreement provides that Bryah and Kirkalocka will work together and perform their respective obligations under the Agreement so that mining at Tumblegum South may commence at an agreed time after 30 June 2021.
The Agreement contains Conditions Precedent which, upon satisfactory completion, Bryah and Kirkalocka will enter into a binding 50/50 profit share agreement which will see gold-bearing material mined at Tumblegum South then transported by road to the Kirkalocka Gold Mine facility located south of Mount Magnet for processing.
Commenting on this important milestone, Bryah Resources Managing Director Neil Marston said:
“One of the challenges facing any company with gold mineral resources not large enough to support the construction of a standalone plant is securing access to facilities to process their material.
“With the granting of the Tumblegum South Mining Lease in November 2020, we were able to advance negotiations with the team at Adaman Resources to this point. The Adaman group’s expertise in mining, processing and road haulage can provide the full suite of capabilities needed to bring Tumblegum South into production.
“Obtaining access to the Kirkalocka gold processing facility brings Bryah another step closer to realising the value of its gold resources at Tumblegum South.”

Conditions Precedent
The Agreement is subject to and conditional upon:
-
(a) Bryah completing sufficient drilling of the Deposit, to report a minimum of 50% in the Indicated Mineral Resource category under the JORC Code, within an optimised pit shell(s), at an agreed gold price;
-
(b) Bryah undertaking a program of metallurgical testwork on the Deposit that satisfactorily demonstrates the material derived from mining of the Deposit will be suitable for treating through Kirkalocka’s processing facility;
-
(c) Bryah obtaining mining approvals from the relevant regulators;
-
(d) Bryah securing a funding facility or source sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations under the final agreement;
-
(e) Kirkalocka completing a study to determine the economic potential of the Deposit (“Study”), and provide such Study to Bryah for consideration, and
-
(f) the parties being satisfied, each in their respective absolute discretion, that the Study demonstrates that the project meets their respective investment criteria.
2020 Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC Code 2012)
The Mineral Resource Estimation was completed in January 2020 in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code and is based on 49 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for a total of 5,640 metres.
The Inferred Mineral Resource is 600,000 tonnes @ 2.2 g/t Au for 42,500 ounces gold using a cutoff grade of 0.3g/t Au.[1]
The gold mineralisation occurs in multiple zones of shallow gold mineralisation, with down dip and along strike extension potential.
Drilling Programs
A diamond drilling program consisted of 3 holes for 162 metres total depth was completed in late November 2020. Core from this drilling is in Perth for cutting and more detailed geological logging, with samples to be submitted for laboratory analysis in early January 2021.
Portions of the remaining core will then be selected and submitted for metallurgical, communition testwork and density measurements as required to satisfy one of the Conditions Precedent.
Planning for a follow-up RC drilling program in 2021 to satisfy another one of the Conditions Precedent is underway.
Project Details
Bryah holds a suite of mineral rights over tenements covering 170km² (see Figure 1) held by Australian Vanadium Limited (ASX:AVL). Bryah’s mineral rights are for all minerals, excluding vanadium, titanium, cobalt, chromium, uranium, lithium, tantalum, iron ore and manganese.
