ASX Announcement

14 August 2020

Manganese Drilling Program Completed

Highlights:

  • 2,315 metre RC drilling program completed in the Bryah Basin

  • Four locations drilled - Brumby Creek, Black Hill, Cheval and Black Beauty

  • Laboratory analysis underway with results expected in coming weeks

  • Upcoming results will guide ongoing manganese exploration strategy and future drilling plans

  • Drilling funded by OM (Manganese) Limited under Manganese JV Agreement

Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise the completion, this week, of its latest Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at its Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture project, which is located approximately 150 kilometres north of the town of Meekatharra in central Western Australia (see Figure 1).

The following drilling activities, targeting manganese, have been completed:

  1. Follow-up extensional drilling at the Brumby Creek and Black Hill prospects, and

  2. First pass drilling at newly identified Cheval and Black Beauty prospects.

The location of these prospects is shown in Figure 2.

The drilling program – of 2,315 metres – tested for extensions of high-grade manganese mineralisation intersected at Brumby Creek and Black Hill in drilling completed in May 2020, and tested the new manganese targets identified, Cheval and Black Beauty.

All samples from the drilling have been delivered to a laboratory for analysis. Results from the laboratory analysis are expected over the coming weeks.

Results from this drilling program will be a key component of the Company’s ongoing manganese exploration strategy. The results will guide the planning of the next phase of drilling, which is expected to be completed in Q4 this year.

Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture

In April 2019, Bryah executed a Manganese Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) with OMM, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH)[1] . The Agreement applies to the rights to manganese over approximately 660 km[2] in the Bryah Basin, including the historic Horseshoe South Manganese mine (see Figure 1).

OM Holdings Limited is a vertically integrated Manganese and Silicon specialist. In Australia, OMM operates the Bootu Creek manganese mine in the Northern Territory.

In 2019, OMM funded $500,000 of project expenditure which yielded highly encouraging manganese drilling results[2] . In August 2019, OMM elected under the Agreement to proceed and the Joint Venture was formed following payment of a $250,000 Exercise Fee, whereby OMM secured an initial 10% interest in the Manganese Joint Venture (“JV”).

Under Stage 2 of the Agreement, OMM can elect to progressively fund the next $2.0 million of exploration expenditure in four tranches of $500,000 each, to earn up to a 51% interest in the Manganese JV by 30 June 2022. OMM has completed Tranche 1 funding of $500,000 and now holds a 20% JV interest. OMM has formally elected to proceed to increase its JV interest to 30% under Tranche 2, funding an additional $500,000 of project expenditure, including this latest drilling program.

Bryah is Project Manager of the JV until OMM has earned a 51% JV interest and has elected to be Project Manager.
