AVL Grant For $49M
Bryah Resources Limited (ASX: BYH, “Bryah” or “the Company”) congratulates Australian Vanadium Limited (ASX: AVL) on finalising its agreement with the Australian Government for a $49 million Modern Manufacturing Initiative Collaboration grant for its Australian Vanadium Project. As part of the overall collaboration project, Bryah will be working with AVL to complete the feasibility studies to recover nickel, copper and cobalt from the tails stream.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL) secures Australian Government grant of up to $49 million to advance the Australian Vanadium Project.
- Grant includes Bryah’s collaboration on recovery of nickel, copper, and cobalt from the tails stream.
- Bryah signs as a collaboration participant and retains the nickel and copper rights.
- The collaboration between AVL and Bryah is focused on realising the significant strategic value of the Ni, Co and Cu within the non-magnetic tailings fraction at the Australian Vanadium Project.
- The target base metals are contained in the Indicated portion of the Mineral Resource, 16.1 Mt @ 762 ppm Nickel, 212 ppm Copper and 231 ppm Cobalt, included in the high- grade vanadium zone within the planned open pits of the Australian Vanadium Project as described in AVL’s Bankable Feasibility Study.
Commenting on the signing of the grant, Bryah CEO Ashley Jones said:
“We congratulate AVL on finalising this $49M grant for its Australian Vanadium Project. Part of the grant involves collaboration on realising the significant strategic value of the Ni, Co and Cu within the mine tailings at the Project. Previous metallurgical test work has shown a floatation circuit can make a sulphide concentrate of up to 6.3% base metals copper, cobalt and nickel1. Importantly, throughout the BFS, AVL has provisioned space in the plant design for the floatation circuit. Bryah benefits from the portion of the grant to finalise studies, and benefits from the whole grant as it moves AVL closer to developing the Australian Vanadium Project.”

Bryah Resources
Overview
The global transition to clean energy has ramped up demand for critical metals required to develop new, sustainable technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, charging stations and wind turbines. Lithium, nickel, copper and manganese are key resources required to manufacture these low-carbon products. Valued at US$11.3 billion in 2019, the global battery metals market is projected to reach US$20.5 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.2 percent between 2020 and 2027.
As demand for these resources continues to grow, Western Australia remains a key player in the global mining sector, providing opportunities for mining companies with a presence in the region to capitalize on world-class deposits and benefit from a mining-friendly government. Western Australia has long been a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction and remained strong throughout the pandemic. Western Australia produces 52 percent of the world’s lithium, with Chile in a distant second at 25 percent. China (13 percent) and Argentina (6 percent) are also among the top lithium-producing countries.
Bryah Resources (ASX:BYH) is an exploration and development company with assets in Western Australia. These assets have diverse battery metal mining potential, including lithium, nickel, gold, copper and manganese. They are located throughout the Bryah Basin, a region where, despite its discovery in 2009 as a rich area for exploration, remains underexplored, creating blue-sky potential for the company’s assets. Led by an experienced management team with expertise in the natural resources sector, Bryah Resources is well-positioned for growth.
Bryah Resources Project Locations
The company’s flagship project, Bryah Basin East, consists of two promising assets: Windalah and Olympus. The company discovered a VMS system at the Windalah Prospect confirming the potential of a new copper-gold discovery.
Bryah Resources CEO Ashley Jones called the VMS discovery at the Windalah Project the “most exciting blue-sky event for the company.”
“We’ve got government funding and have planned two drilling campaigns, 400-meter and 600-meter deep holes. If we hit it, it will be amazing; if we don’t, we’re definitely in the right address. I’ve never seen a geological team more excited about a project,” Jones said in an earlier interview,
The company completed its 691-meter diamond drilling program targeting copper-gold VMS mineralization at 300 meters and 500 meters depth at the Windalah copper-gold prospect.
Bryah Resources also made new discoveries at its Horseshoe South Manganese asset, which resulted in a joint venture (JV) partnership with OM Holding Ltd (ASX:OMH), largely due to the potential to develop a low-cost mining operation. OM Holdings is a vertically integrated manganese specialist involved in mining, smelting and trading the mineral, making the company a valuable partner. Bryah Resources holds 49 percent of the asset, with OM Holding retaining 51 percent. The company’s additional assets include projects with copper-gold and lithium-nickel deposits.
Taking the company towards additional exploration and development of its assets, Bryah Resources’ leadership team is guided by decades of experience in the natural resources sector, with geology, finance and business administration expertise, strengthening confidence in its ability to capitalize on its assets.
