Bryah Resources Limited (“Bryah” or “the Company”)(“ASX:BYH”) hereby provides an update to its 18[th] November 2020 announcement on the conditional $5.0 million cash offer received for its interest in the Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture (“Manganese JV”).
The offer is a joint offer from Primero Group Limited (ASX:PGX) and natural resources specialist investor, AMCI Group (“Offerors”).
OM (Manganese) Ltd, (“OMM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH) currently holds a 30% interest in the Manganese JV and is funding further exploration to earn up to a 51% JV interest from Bryah, and under the JV agreement had a pre-emptive right to match the $5.0 million cash offer.
In November 2020, Bryah served a notice on OMM in respect to the joint offer received. On 7 January 2021 OMM advised Bryah that it will not exercise its pre-emptive right. As a consequence of this Bryah is now free to transfer its JV interest at any price not being less than $5.0 million, at any time up to 7 April 2021.
Completion of the sale to the Offerors is expected to occur once all conditions of the joint offer have been satisfied and formal documentation has been finalised.

Payment terms of the conditional offer are as follows:
(a) a cash payment of A$3,000,000 payable at completion of the sale (Settlement Date); and
