Commenting on the drilling, Bryah CEO Ashley Jones said: “Extending the resource drilling at Brumby West has again intersected high grades. It has also helped the geological interpretation and the application of the GAIP geophysics we are using for our drill targeting. 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 Bryah Basin project area is located approximately 100km 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.

Extensional resource drilling was undertaken to extend known areas of mineralisation at Brumby West and Area 74. Additional drilling at the Redrum prospect will hopefully enable a resource to be defined.
