Between newly identified GAIP anomalies and prospects identified from mapping, we have many new targets to test. Our drilling strategy is focussed on increasing the current JORC resource and reaching a critical mass to restart operations.”

The Company’s tenements and manganese mineral rights cover 1,135km² over parts of the western Bryah Basin.

Black Hill Northeast
Northeast of the Black Hill resource area, outcropping Mn was outlined and sampled. The area was identified by the Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) surveys and both chargeable and conductive, which are the key criteria that Bryah and OMM are assessing for Mn mineralisation. Assaying of the rock chips showed excellent supergene enrichment of the Mn, returning grades high in Mn with low Fe.

Gold Trip
The Gold Trip prospect occurs on a newly added tenement to the joint venture, acquired by Bryah late in 2021. The outcropping manganese appears to dip under cover to the east and provides an excellent downslope target.
