On May 22, Australia's Bryah Resources Limited announced that assays from a reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Bryah Basin manganese project in WA's northwest have confirmed the discovery of a high-grade zone of mineralization with potential to support a near-term direct shipping production strategy.
The campaign aimed to test for extensions of high-grade manganese intersected at the Black Hill, Brumby Creek and Horseshoe South targets in 2019. It also included initial drill testing of the nearby Mount Labouchere prospect.
Bryah Resources said grades of more than 30% manganese were intersected from a new shallow high-grade discovery at Brumby Creek and could support a near-term direct shipping operation.
At the Black Hill prospect, Bryah Resources encountered a string of direct shipping grades such as 4m at 32.7% manganese, and 6m at 30.0% manganese.
Cobalt values of up to 1,320 parts per million were also reported, with consistently anomalous association with the manganese mineralization requiring further investigations.
