Bryah Resources Limited announced the results of drilling completed on the Brumby Creek area of the Horseshoe Manganese Project. Following a Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) geophysical survey, drilling was completed in late September 2021, with results now received. High-grade intersections have extended the Brumby West prospect and new prospects at Redrum have been discovered.

The project now consists of multiple discoveries and resource targets at Brumby West, Brumby East, Area 74 and Black Hill which are additional to Horseshoe South and Horseshoe South on the granted Mining Lease (M52/806). The GAIP identified multiple chargeable responses were tested for Mn mineralisation. The GAIP technique has demonstrated the potential for finding further Mn channel systems in the region.

The method was successful, delineating untested areas of Mn mineralisation. The identification of a chargeable response south of the drilled Brumby West prospect was confirmed with a step out hole 80m south in holes BBRC178, BBRC0170 and BBRC0167. The excellent results open the prospect to the south and east and to further increase deposit size potential.

Testwork has been progressing, with bulk ore sorter testwork started at Steinert after initial sighter testwork on small individual samples which showed that separation and beneficiation is possible. Brumby West Results include: BRRC152 8m @ 27.1% Mn & 19.4% Fe from 3m; BRRC155 2m @ 26% Mn & 21.2% Fe from 9m; BRRC155 4m @ 24.4% Mn & 21.4% Fe from 14m; BRRC156 12m @ 27.5% Mn & 16% Fe from 12m; BRRC157 3m @ 22.6% Mn & 19% Fe from 16m; BRRC163 4m @ 16.5% Mn & 25% Fe from 0m; BRRC164 6m @ 23.2% Mn & 21.8% Fe from 12m; BRRC165 10m @ 29.4% Mn & 16.3% Fe from 13m; BRRC166 7m @ 21.7% Mn & 23.2% Fe from 17m; BRRC167 14m @ 26% Mn & 15.9% Fe from 22m; BRRC169 4m @ 17.2% Mn & 20.5% Fe from 20m; BRRC170 17m @ 23.2% Mn & 17.9% Fe from 13m;BRRC174 3m @ 23.9% Mn & 21.2% Fe from 1m; BRRC176 3m @ 21.1% Mn & 23.3% Fe from 5m; BRRC178 12m @ 27% Mn & 18.1% Fe from 13m. The Redrum area is located 11km from the granted mining licence at the Historic Horseshoe South Manganese Mine.

Drilling intersected interesting Mn mineralisation, with the best hole in the recent program returning 7m @ 18% Mn. This scout drill program has shown Mn mineralisation was able to be detected by the GAIP survey technique. The hit rate where holes intersected greater than 3m @ 10% Mn at Redrum was 50%.

Mineralisation styles appear similar to other prospects in the area and support further investigation. Redrum Results include: RRRC003 1m @ 22.1% Mn & 14.2% Fe from 6m; RRRC003 2m @ 18.3% Mn & 12.9% Fe from 40m; RRRC008 2m @ 25.8% Mn & 14.8% Fe from 10m; RRRC009 2m @ 21.7% Mn & 19.6% Fe from 12m; RRRC010 5m @ 18.6% Mn & 24.4% Fe from 25m; RRRC011 2m @ 20.6% Mn & 25.6% Fe from 35m; RRRC012 2m @ 16.7% Mn & 19.4% Fe from 26m; RRRC012 2m @ 18.5% Mn & 22% Fe from 30m; RRRC016 7m @ 18.7% Mn & 25.3% Fe from 6m; RRRC018 2m @ 18.4% Mn & 25.1% Fe from 7m; RRRC018 3m @ 20.8% Mn & 22.2% Fe from 17m; RRRC018 4m @ 19.2% Mn & 26.6% Fe from 24m; RRRC019 8m @ 17.8% Mn & 15.7% Fe from 19m; RRRC020 6m @ 21.9% Mn & 17.6% Fe from 11m; RRRC022 4m @ 21.3% Mn & 20.6% Fe from 22m; RRRC023 1m @ 24.1% Mn & 13.5% Fe from 24m; RRRC023 1m @ 15.2% Mn & 23.9% Fe from 28m; RRRC023 2m @ 22.6% Mn & 25% Fe from 36m; RRRC026 2m @ 19.9% Mn & 19.3% Fe from 9m; RRRC026 2m @ 16.6% Mn & 33.8% Fe from 25m; RRRC028 3m @ 17.5% Mn & 19.5% Fe from 3m. The manganese mineralisation in the Horseshoe region is largely controlled by the BYH-OMH JV tenement holding.

This area has seen significant, but limited scale mining of manganese, with little or no previous regional exploration prior to the current work being undertaken by the BYH team. The number and scale of the discoveries already made by BYH and OMH point towards a substantial manganese field, capable of producing high grade manganese products for the steel and growing battery market, including High purity battery grade manganese sulphate and electrolytic manganese.
