Bryah Resources have brought in more high-grade manganese intersections and will further extend its JORC resource at the Bryah Basin project, covering 1135 square kilometres of tenements and mineral rights over its namesake in Western Australia.
Last year’s drilling was directed at extending known mineralisation and new high-grade downhole intersections from the Brumby West area are primed to give a substantial upgrade to its maiden 1.84Mt at 21% Mn JORC resource.

Bryah Chief Executive Ashley Jones said the lofty returns had also helped geological interpretation and the application of geophysics for further drill targeting.
Extending the resource drilling at Brumby West has again intersected high grades,” he said.
“The Brumby Creek area is shaping up to be a significant area supporting the existing resources on the granted mining tenement at Horseshoe South.”
The view holds firm to begin low-cost production from the joint venture, held with the fully owned subsidiary of OM Holdings, one of the world’s leading suppliers of manganese ore, as demand for the crucial industrial metal is driven not only by rising production of steel and other alloys in China and India, but by growing usage in production of lithium-ion batteries.
Next Steps:
Resource modelling will soon begin to update the resource as RC drilling begins at four prospects alongside additional drilling at Brumby Creek, and further resource updates will follow with high expectations of a completed resource from the Red Rum prospect.
