Manganese RC Drilling Completed

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 1458m Reverse Circulation (RC) manganese drilling completed

  • Multiple extensions to prospects drilled – Black Hill, Black Beauty, Brumby Creek and Horseshoe South.

  • Bryah retains 49% of the Manganese Joint Venture with OM Holdings

Bryah Resources Limited (ASX: BYH, “Bryah” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed drilling at its Bryah Basin manganese project. Bryah and OM (Manganese) Ltd (OMM) have a Joint Venture (JV) to undertake exploration to test targets in the area, with a view to commencing manganese production. OMM is a wholly owned subsidiary of OM Holdings Limited (ASX: OMH), one of the world’s leading suppliers of manganese ores.

Commenting on the drilling, Bryah CEO Ashley Jones said: “This drill program was opportune with a rig becoming available at short notice to test new Manganese target areas. This complements our strategy to target potential manganese under cover and assess new areas to reach critical mass and restarting mining operations in the area. Results from the March drill program results are still expected next month.”

The Bryah Basin project area is located approximately 100-150km north of the town of Meekatharra in Western Australia. The Company’s tenements and manganese mineral rights cover 1,135km² over parts of the western Bryah Basin.

RC Drilling of 1458m was completed in 39 holes covering the Black Beauty, Black Hill, Brumby Creek and Horseshoe South prospects. Samples were collected and have been sent to the assay laboratory for analysis. Further planned drill holes are awaiting heritage surveys and program of works permitting.

ABOUT BRYAH RESOURCES

Bryah’s assets are all located in Western Australia, a Tier One global mining and exploration jurisdiction. Strategically the Projects are energy metals focused, or able to exploit synergies of geological knowledge, locality and exploration.

The prospective Bryah Basin licences cover 1,048km[2] and have a potential new Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) ‘Horseshoe Lights type’ mine analogue at the Windalah prospect, and multiple other similar untested targets. The area also contains extensive outcroppings of manganese, the subject of a substantial $7M joint venture with ASX listed OM Holdings Limited (ASX: OMH). OMH is a vertically integrated manganese producer and refiner with a market capitalisation of over $600m. Bryah and OMH have an excellent working relationship, with OMH having already spent over $2 million to earn-in to the Manganese Rights of the Project.

Gabanintha, near Meekatharra, has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource for Cu, Ni, Co[1] and additional structural gold potential. The copper nickel resource and recently identified gold mineralisation at Gabanintha will be the subject of further drill definition and a prefeasibility study to integrate the project with the Australian Vanadium Project (ASX: AVL). The resource has been defined by the drilling efforts of AVL in the development of its vanadium project and enabled Bryah to define a base metal resources inventory.

Bryah’s base metals inventory at Gabanintha and manganese JV in the Bryah Basin have a clear pathway to production, which will be significantly advanced in 2022 by the commencement and completion of metallurgical feasibility studies at both projects.

An option agreement has been signed over the Lake Johnston tenements which are prospective for battery metals lithium and nickel. On IPO the option holder Mining Green Metals Ltd will pay 5 million shares for 51% of the project, with another 5 million shares for the remaining 49%. The corridor near Lake Johnston contains significant mines and discoveries of nickel and lithium, including the Mount Holland Lithium Mine and the historical Maggie Hays/Emily Ann nickel deposits.

Bryah holds 20.75% of gold focused Star Minerals (ASX:SMS). Star has a Mineral Resource at Tumblegum South and exploration prospects in the West Bryah Basin.
