Bryah (ASX:BYH) apply for manganese mining

Bryah Resources has submitted two mining applications covering JORC resources at its Bryah Basin manganese joint venture with a view to getting production underway once again at its historic West Australian namesake.

The joint venture already holds a total mineral resource of 1.836 million tonnes at 21 per cent manganese over six prospects, and modelling is now underway for a substantial upgrade after the continued receipt of high-grade assays.

The target stands at three to five million tonnes of resource to get production refired, and Bryah Chief Executive Ashley Jones said the mining applications represented the success of all its exploration so far over the Bryah Basin.

“Further tonnes are expected to be added to the current JORC resource from recent results at Red Rum and Brumby Creek West. The Mining Licence applications and environmental permitting process are part of the final steps getting this manganese mining area back into production,” Mr Jones said.

Already in demand for its significant industrial applications, the commitment of at least six major motor companies to manganese-based batteries has been predicted to phenomenally elevate the demand outlook for high-purity manganese.

Bryah established the joint venture with the subsidiary of one of the world’s largest ore suppliers, OM Holdings, to relaunch production at the region’s largest manganese mine from extensive outcroppings, and the vision is gaining clarity as high-grade resources and licenced territory continue to expand.

Next steps

With heritage completed, a drill program is planned to begin within the next few weeks to assess five new prospect areas, and an updated resource bringing together 6000 metres of last year’s drilling is expected this coming quarter.

An environmental consultant has been engaged to support the licence approvals, and Bryah also see a clear pathway to production from its metals inventory at Gabanintha, where it holds full rights over copper, nickel and gold, and the heightened prospects for discovery.
