Commenting on the latest results Managing Director, Neil Marston said:

“The latest drilling at the historic Horseshoe South Mine has yielded some significant manganese results within the Main and Extended Pit areas. The grades and thickness of mineralisation at the Extended Pit confirms our view that the site has potential for economic tonnes and grades of manganese. We have commenced a program of beneficiation testwork on bulk samples recently collected to see how this mineralisation can be upgraded through simple processing.

At the Main Pit, drilling was targeted at locating buried channels and layers of manganese missed by earlier operators. These results demonstrate the existence of very high-grade manganese at shallow depths beneath the existing pit, so additional drilling is warranted in future programs.

These pits lie on a granted mining lease which can be quickly re-permitted for manganese mining operations. The Company has also engaged with the adjoining lease holder about a potential collaboration across the common lease boundary in the Extended Pit area so that these significant manganese zones near our southern boundary can be effectively developed.”

Drilling Program

The Horseshoe South Manganese Mine and Mount Labouchere prospect locations are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8. The drilling program at Horseshoe South was focused on testing for extensions of manganese mineralisation intersected in drilling programs completed in 2019, as well as from previous exploration.

A first pass drilling program was undertaken at the Mount Labouchere prospect to test around an area of outcropping manganese.

The latest results from the drilling highlight significant manganese at the Horseshoe South mine. The best results from the drilling are in Table 1 and all information is shown in Table 2 and Table 3.

Table 1 - Best Drill Results

Horseshoe South - Main Pit

At the Main Pit, 60 drill holes for 454 metres were drilled. Results for the first 19 holes have been received and included in this report. For holes HSRC045 onwards, assay results are pending, with receipt expected in two weeks.

The drill hole locations are shown in Figure 2 below. The drilling program was designed to test for shallow high-grade zones and channels of manganese mineralisation below the floor of the existing pit.

It is interpreted that a high-grade manganese channel beneath the open pit floor was intersected by hole HSRC038, as shown in Figure 3. This intersection of 4 metres @ 40.9% Mn from 9 metres depth confirms the potential for shallow high-grade manganese to exist within the mining lease, and more broadly within the project area.

Further drilling to extend this channel and to identify additional channels is warranted in follow-up programs.

Horseshoe South – Extended Pit

At the Extended Pit area, 17 drill holes for 598 metres were drilled to test for extensions of the manganese mineralisation intersected in 2019[1] and by previous exploration.

The drill hole locations at the Extended Pit area are shown in Figure 4 and in the drill sections in Figure 5 and Figure 6 below.

Figure 4 - Horseshoe South Extended Pit Area- Drill Hole Location Plan

Drill holes HERC042 – HERC044 were drilled on the lower western slopes of the mining lease to test for extensions of significant mineralisation identified in 2019 drilling.

HERC043 appears to have intersected a continuation of manganese mineralisation intersected by HERC015, with similar grades and widths recorded (see Figure 4).

HERC044 recorded the best results in this area, with grades exceeding 35% Mn recorded within a 19 metre wide zone of mineralisation intersected (see Figure 5).

These drill holes are located close to the southern boundary of M52/806, which adjoins M52/1048 to the south. A mineral resource up to the northern boundary of M52/1048 has been publicly reported[2] (see Figure 4) and the Company has been in discussions with the adjoining mining lease holder about collaborating to enable the potential development across the common boundary.

Drill holes HERC047 – HERC049 were the first holes drilled by the Company at the northern end of the pit to test for extensions of manganese identified from shallow historical drilling.

All 3 holes recorded wide zones of manganese beneath the historical drilling (see Figure 6), confirming the potential for additional mineralisation to exist below the current pit floor. Further drilling within the open pit to extend these mineralised zones will be undertaken in up-coming programs.

Figure 6 - Horseshoe South Extended Pit Area - Section B-B’

Drill holes HERC51 and 52 intersected significant mineralisation up-slope from the existing pit, confirming the results of hole HERC023 drilled in 2019. Drill holes HERC056 and 057 also intersected wide zones of manganese mineralisation at the southern margins of the existing open pit, confirming the potential in this area.

The Company will take these very encouraging results from drilling at the Extended Pit area and update its geological model ahead of designing follow-up programs.

Mount Labouchere

At the Mount Labouchere prospect, 16 drill holes for 256 metres were drilled to test for manganese beneath shallow cover around an area of outcropping manganese identified in 2018. The drill hole locations are shown in Figure 7 below. The drilling demonstrated that there are no significant extensions of manganese beyond the outcropping area.

However, the samples assayed did show anomalism in copper and cobalt, which will need further investigation. Bryah intends to collect the remaining 1 metre samples which have not been submitted for analysis and have these analysed for a broader suite of minerals to determine the significance of this copper and cobalt anomalism.

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)[3] . OM Holdings Limited is a vertically integrated Manganese and Silicon specialist involved in mining, smelting and trading, with operations located in Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa. In Australia, OMM operates the Bootu Creek manganese mine in the Northern Territory.

The Agreement applies to the rights to manganese only over approximately 660 km[2] in the Bryah Basin (see Figure 1).

Between April and August 2019, OMM funded $500,000 of project expenditure which yielded highly encouraging manganese drilling results[4] . 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, once expended by Bryah, will increase the JV interest held by OMM from 10% to 20%. Bryah is Project Manager of the JV until OMM has earned a 51% JV interest and has elected to be Project Manager.

Other Activities

The Company recently collected a bulk sample of between 1-2 tonnes from the lowest bench of the Extended Pit which is being processed in a Perth laboratory before a series of beneficiation tests.

Planning for the next manganese drilling program in the Bryah Basin is currently underway and is expected to include a round of diamond drilling to collect samples for further metallurgical testwork.

Bryah completed 3 RC drill holes[5] at its Windalah gold prospect at the end of the recent manganese drilling. The results of this drilling are expected next week.

The board of directors of Bryah Resources Limited has authorised this announcement to be given to the ASX.

Appendix 1 – Manganese Ore Pricing

Dry Metric Tonne Unit (dmtu) is the internationally agreed-upon unit of measure for Manganese ore pricing. It has the same mass value as a metric tonne, but the material has been notionally dried to remove the moisture level.

One dry metric tonne unit consists of 1% of Manganese (Mn) contained in a tonne of ore, excluding moisture.

Benchmark pricing (US$) of Manganese Ore exists and is available to the market as follows:

  • Manganese Ore Index 37% Mn, FOB Port Elizabeth, South Africa

  • Manganese Ore Index 37% Mn, CIF Tianjin China, and

  • Manganese Ore Index 44% Mn, CIF Tianjin China.

Discounts may apply to Manganese Ore which is not of benchmark grade.

Worked Example:

To calculate the price of a dry metric tonne of Manganese Ore the $ per dmtu of metal contained is multiplied by the grade of the ore.

Manganese Ore Grade (dmt): - 37% Mn dmtu: - 37% Mn / 1% Mn = 37 dmtu Price/dmtu (US$) - $5.00 FOB (free on board) Price/dry metric tonne (US$): 37 dmtu x $5.00 = US$185 Forex Rate – AUD:USD 0.65 Price/dry metric tonne (AU$): $185/0.65 = AU$284

Appendix 2 - Manganese RC Drilling

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Exploration Results

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to
the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

For this drilling program Bryah Resources Limited (Bryah Resources) utilised a mix of
angled Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes with some vertical holes included.

RC drilling was to generally accepted industry standard producing 1m samples of
approximately 3kg weight which were collected beneath a rotary cone splitter
mounted under the cyclone.

The splitter reject sample was collected into green plastic bags which were numbered
and laid into 10m rows, initially by the hole then removed and stored at a bag farm.

The holes were sampled as 1m samples from the splitter and placed into pre-
numbered calico bags with the draw-sting tied up and then placed inside the green
plastic bag for later collection and despatch.

The full length of each hole drilled was sampled.

Selected samples (based on visual logging) were collected and submitted to a
contract commercial laboratory for sorting, drying, crushing, splitting, and pulverising.

A prepared sample is then fused in a lithium borate flux with lithium nitrate additive.
The resultant glass bead is analysed via X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). XRF is suitable
analysisforawiderange ofgeologicalores.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Bryah Resources’ RC holes were drilled with a contract RC drilling rig.

All RC holes up to HSRC028 were drilled using a 137mm face sampling drilling bit,
then from HSRC029 to HSRC085 were drilled using a 127mm face sampling drilling
bit to allow less clearance of the hole wall and the drill string in broken ground.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

The RC samples were not weighed or measured for recovery on the rig but will be
completed on a campaign basis later as required.

To ensure maximum sample recovery and the representivity of the samples, an
experienced Company geologist was present during drilling to monitor the sampling
process. Any issues were immediately rectified.

Bryah Resources is satisfied that the RC holes have taken a sufficiently
representative sample of the interval and minimal loss of fines has occurred in the RC
drilling resulting in minimal sample bias.

No twin RC drill holes have been completed to assess sample bias.

At this stage, no investigations have been made into whether there is a relationship
between sample recovery and grade.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All the 1m RC samples were sieved and collected into 20m chip trays for geological
logging of colour, weathering, lithology, alteration and mineralisation for potential
Mineral Resource estimation and mining studies.

RC logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature.

The total length of the RC holes were logged. Where no sample was returned due to
cavities/voids it was recorded as such.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality, and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.

Sampling technique:
o
All RC samples were collected by the RC rig into a cyclone and then passed
through the cone splitter.
o
The samples were generally dry, and all attempts were made to ensure the
collected samples were dry.
o
The cyclone and cone splitter were cleaned with compressed air at the end of
every 6m RC drill rod.
o
The sample sizes were appropriate to correctly represent the mineralisation
based on the style of mineralisation, the thickness and consistency of
intersections, the sampling methodology and percent value assay ranges for the
primary elements.

Quality Control Procedures were:
o
A duplicated sample was collected at random intervals on the cyclone nominally
1 per 100 samples.
o
Certified Reference Material (CRM) samples were inserted in the field every 40
samples containing a range of manganese values.
o
Overall QAQC insertion rate of 1:30 samples
o
Laboratory repeats taken and standards inserted at pre-determined level
specified by the laboratory.
o
Sample preparation at the laboratory: The samples are weighed and dried at
105oC, then coarsely crushed to -6.3mm using a jaw crusher. If the sample size
is greater than 2.5kg the samples are then riffle split. Samples are then
pulverised by LM5 or disc pulveriser to 80% passing -75 microns
o
The sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly represent the
mineralisation based on the style of mineralisation, the thickness and
consistency of intersections, the sampling methodology and the assay value
ranges expected for manganese and its impurities.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
_accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. _

XRF is suitable for the total analysis of a range of geological ores and is appropriate
for analysis of manganese and its associated impurities.

Duplicates and samples containing standards were included in the analyses.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections have been independently verified by alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes has not been implemented and is not considered
necessary at this stage of exploration.

The Competent Person has visited the site & supervised all the drilling and sampling
process in the field.

All primary data related to logging and sampling are captured using laptops into
LogChief templates.

All data is sent to Perth and stored in the centralised Access database with a Data
Shed front end which is managed by company geologists.

No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data, apart from
resetting below detection values to half positive detection.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

All collars have currently been surveyed with a differential GPS by Bryah staff and
will be independently surveyed by surveyors using a differential GPS for accurate
collar location and RL. The digital data has been entered directly into the company
Access database.

Downhole surveys have been completed on all the RC drill holes by the drillers. They
used a Reflex Ez-Trac downhole as a single-shot tool to collect the surveys
approximately every 30m down the hole in a stainless-steel starter rod.

The grid system for the Bryah Basin prospect is MGA_GDA94 Zone 50.

Topographic control is based upon known survey datums located within the area.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

As this program tested several locations there was considerable variation in the drill
spacing and drillhole orientation.

The drill spacing is generally not sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity applied under the 2012 JORC code.
Sample compositing was not applied to this drilling; all sampling was at 1m intervals.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

The attitude of the lithological units varies greatly both within the prospects and
between prospect to prospect.
At Horseshoe South Mine, the regional stratigraphy is mapped approximately north
south and dipping steeply to the east therefore the azimuth drilled was at an azimuth
of 270-317o.

No drilling orientation and sampling bias has been recognized at this time and it is not
considered to have introduced a samplingbias.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The samples collected were placed in calico bags and transported to the relevant
Perth laboratory by company personnel.

Sample security was not considered a significant risk.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

The Company database has been compiled from primary data by independent
database consultants and was based on original assay data and historical database
compilations.

A regular review of the data and sampling techniques is carried out internally.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The relevant tenements (E52/3349 and M52/806) are 100% owned or beneficially
held by Bryah Resources Limited. OM (Manganese) Limited holds a 10% joint venture
interest in respect to the manganese rights only on this tenement.

At the time of reporting, there are no known impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area and the tenements are in good standing.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

The manganese deposits in the region were discovered during the gold rush period
between 1897 and 1911 however were of little interest to explorers at the time.

Mining operations between 1948 and 1967 received the focus of early exploration.

Manganese exploration conducted by BHP Limited, King Mining Corporation Ltd,
Valiant Consolidated Ltd and various others since the 1960’s was concentrated mainly
around the historic pits at Elsa Group, Millidie, Horseshoe South, Mudderwearie and
Ravelstone.

Tuart Resources Limited and Peak Hill Manganese Pty Ltd undertook regional
exploration over a large portion of the Bryah and Padbury Basins in the period after
2000, identifying numerous manganese anomalies from satellite imagery and aerial
photography. Only limited on-ground exploration of many of these anomalies was
undertaken.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation.

These manganese occurrences are within the Lower Proterozoic Bryah and Padbury
Basins. Manganese deposits are a product of prolonged weathering and oxidation of
sedimentary rocks and chemical concentration and re-deposition of manganese within
ancient drainage systems. Most of the manganese deposits are remnants of former
drainage palaeochannels. Although detailed surveys have not been completed, the
location of most manganese deposits appears to be at about the elevation of the
former palaeosurface. These deposits are now left as hilltop mesas or cappings
(invertedrelief).
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for
all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in m) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain
_why this is the case. _

Refer to Tables 2 and 3 of this ASX Announcement for details of sample locations,
etc.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
_should be clearly stated. _

No high-grade cuts have been applied to the reporting of exploration results.

No metal equivalent values have been used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _

In this program there was some variation in the drill spacing and hole orientation.

Due to locally varying intersection angles between drill holes and lithological units all
results are defined as downhole widths.

This drill spacing is also not sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade
continuity applied under the 2012 JORC Code.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.

See attached figures within this announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
_Results. _

Refer to Tables 2 and 3 of this ASX Announcement.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

No other exploration data available.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.

Additional drilling was completed in other locations and assays are pending
