HIGHLIGHTS:
Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture Project (49% JV Interest)
- Two Mining Licence applications granted over Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture.
- Mining licence granted over current JORC resources at the Brumby Creek and Black Hill Prospects.
- Resource model updated in August 2023 increasing to 3.07 MT at 20.1% Mn1.
- Mineral Resources estimated at Area 74, Redrum, Brumby Creek, Black Hill and Horseshoe areas - 5 prospects in total.
- Indicated Resource increased by 91% and Inferred Resource increased by 32%.
- All the Mineral Resources are now including on granted mining licences.
- Drilling completed in August totalling 2962m. Results pending.
Bryah Basin Copper-Gold Project (100%)
- Targeting Cu-Au VMS mineralisation at 300m and 500m depth.
- Deep VMS targets are a product of multiple lines of strong geological evidence.
- Downhole electromagnetic surveys to test for off-hole conductors commenced in September and was completed in October 2023. Results are under review.
Gabanintha Copper-Nickel Project (100%)
- Australian Vanadium Limited (AVL) executed a $49 million grant agreement under the Federal Government Modern Manufacturing Initiative – Manufacturing Collaboration Stream to support the Australian Vanadium Project. $9.8 Million of the grant was received by AVL in June 2023.
- Bryah Resources signed 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.
- AVL also announced a merger with TMT through a scheme of arrangement. Bryah’s mineral rights are not affected by this merger.
Lake Johnston Lithium-Nickel Project (100%)
- Mining Green Metals (MG1) terminated an option agreement as intial public offering condition not met.
- Rock chip results highly anomalous in suite of elements characteristic of Lithium-caesium- tantalum (LCT) pegmatites, alongside indicator mineralogy and mineral texture.
- Roundbottom prospect pegmatites in area of generally poor bedrock exposure:
- LJRK002 – 403 ppm Li2O, 774 ppm Rb, 228 ppm Nb, 18.2 ppm Ta, 62.7 ppm Sn, and 9.6 ppm W2.
- Several sub-linear, parallel pegmatites identified at the Pegasus prospect dipping under recent alluvial cover with anomalous pathfinder elements.
- LJRK009 – 0.13% Rb, 25.2 ppm Nb, 30.8 ppm Cs, 11.8 ppm Be.
- These prospects have historically been overlooked, with no previously reported or mapped pegmatites in these areas.
Corporate
- Cash position of $473,000 as at 30th September 2023.
Management Comments
Commenting on the September quarter CEO Ashley Jones said,
“The Manganese updated resource estimate took us over 3 million tonnes in resource during the quarter which was complemented by the granting of 2 mining licences over the resources. All the resources are now within granted mining tenure.
Copper exploration this quarter involved a geophysical survey crew on the ground during September and October completing the down hole electric magnetic surveys at Windalah and Olympus. We look forward to interpreting these results.
A further drilling program of the manganese targets was also completed in August. Results are expected in November. Areas drilled were a combination of extension drilling and new projects.

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.
