ASX Announcement

Manganese Drilling Underway in Bryah Basin Program testing two new areas and for extensions to high-grade manganese mineralisation
Highlights:
-
1,750 metre RC drilling program has commenced in Bryah Basin
-
Drilling to test new targets at the Cheval and Black Beauty prospects
-
Drilling will also focus on testing for extensions of high-grade manganese intersected in recent drilling at Brumby Creek and Black Hill prospects
-
Drilling is being funded by OM (Manganese) Limited under Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture Agreement
-
Drilling program is being undertaken by Bryah as Project Managers
Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that another program of manganese drilling has commenced 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 program consists of approximately 1,750 metres of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling, focusing on:
-
Follow-up drilling at the Brumby Creek and Black Hill prospects, where drilling in May 2020 recorded high-grade manganese[1] , and
-
First pass drilling at the Cheval and Black Beauty prospects, which are both located to the north of the historic Horseshoe South Manganese mine.
The location of these drilling areas is shown in Figure 2.
This drilling program is fully funded by OM (Manganese) Limited (“OMM”) and will be completed at no cost to Bryah. It is anticipated that an additional program of drilling, funded by OMM, will be completed later in 2020.

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)[2] . The Agreement applies to the rights to manganese only over approximately 660 km[2] in the Bryah Basin.
Under Stage 1 of the Agreement, OMM funded $500,000 of project expenditure which yielded highly encouraging manganese drilling results[3] , and following payment of a $250,000 Exercise Fee, 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 recently increased its JV interest from 10% to 20% by funding $500,000 of exploration expenditure, under Tranche 1.
