Bryah Resources Limited ( Bryah or the Company ) is pleased to announce that its application to participate in the Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive ( JMEI ) scheme for the 2020/21 income year has been accepted by the Australian Taxation Office ( ATO ). The Company has previously been successful in applying to participate in the JMEI scheme for the 2018/19 and 2019/20 income years.
For the 2020/21 income year the Company has received an allocation of up to $585,000 in tax credits which can be distributed to shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) who acquire new shares in Bryah between 8 July 2020 and 30 June 2021 ( Eligibility Period ).
Accordingly, Australian resident participants in the 2[nd] tranche of a placement[1] , in which the Company intends to issue up to 10,469,040 new shares at an issue price of $0.05 each, subject to approval at a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders on 23 July 2020, will qualify as Eligible Shareholders.
Investors should be aware that Bryah cannot guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive the maximum number of JMEI credits available as the actual number of JMEI credits received by each Eligible Shareholder for the 2020/2021 income year will be dependent on a number of factors, including the number of new shares issued, the actual amount of allowable exploration incurred by Bryah, and the Company's tax losses for the 2020/21 financial year.
Eligible Shareholders are expected to be notified by the Company of their JMEI credit entitlement (if any) in the approved form once Bryah has lodged its 2020/2021 tax return. These JMEI credits will apply to their income tax assessment for the year ended 30 June 2021.
About the JMEI Scheme
In March 2018, the Federal Parliament passed legislation introducing the JMEI scheme with effect from 1 July 2017, for a four-year period based on an annual application process. The ATO is the administrator of the scheme.

The JMEI scheme enables eligible exploration companies to create refundable tax credits to distribute to eligible shareholders by forgoing a portion of their carried forward tax losses that have arisen from allowable expenditure on "greenfield" exploration.
The JMEI applies to Shareholders who acquire new shares in a greenfields minerals explorer before the end of an income year in which the Commissioner has made an exploration credits allocation. The shares must be equity interests for the purposes of the debt and equity tax rules. Australian resident shareholders that are issued with JMEI tax credits will generally be entitled to refundable tax offsets (for individual shareholders or superannuation funds) or franking credits (for companies). Receiving a JMEI tax credit could have tax consequences and shareholders who are issued JMEI credits by the Company should obtain independent tax advice specific to their personal circumstances.
Further details of JMEI tax credits are available on the Australian Taxation Office website: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Junior-Minerals-Exploration-Incentive/.
The board of directors of Bryah Resources Limited has authorised this announcement to be given to the ASX.
