Bryah Resources Limited has announced it has signed a $7.3 million manganese Farm-In agreement with OM Holdings Limited. Under the agreement OM can spend $3 million including cash payments to Bryah totaling $500,000, to earn a 51% interest in the manganese mineral rights over a 660sqkm area. At Bryah's elections, OM can increase its interest to 70% by spending a further $4.3 million. On the strength of the OM deal, Bryah has also exercised its exclusive purchase of the historic Horseshoe South Manganese Mine and the manganese rights over a further 154km2 of adjoining ground, all of which are subject to the manganese deal with OM Holdings. Manganese occurrences in the Bryah Basin generally lie within the Horseshoe Formation. Bryah has secured tenure or manganese mineral rights over approximately 60 line-kilometres of this linear feature. The identification of numerous high-grade manganese outcrops last year by Bryah is considered significant as it demonstrates that the Horseshoe Formation, from the prospects of Mudderwearie/Devils Hill in the south through to Mount Labouchere in the north, is prospective for manganese mineralisation. The Horseshoe South mine has produced approximately 1 million tonnes of high-grade manganese ore from 1948-1969 and 2008-2011. The mine lies on a granted mining lease which means that it should be straightforward re-starting mining operations. Shallow drilling completed in 2011 on the neighbouring tenement to the south of the mining lease has recorded an Indicated Mineral Resource of 437,000 tonnes at 19.6% Mn. Drilling is planned to test for extensions of this mineral resource and other outcropping areas on the lease.
