Soil Sample Program Underway-Lake Johnston Lithium Projects
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
11 December 2023
Soil sample program underway at Bryah’s Lake
Johnston Lithium Projects
HIGHLIGHTS
Soil sampling program at Lake Johnston commenced.
Lithium soil anomalies found in soil orientation lines at the Pegasus and
Arpeggio prospects
Bryah Resources Limited (ASX: BYH, “Bryah” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the start of
a soil sampling program at its wholly owned Lake Johnston Project, prospective for lithium and
nickel.
Commenting on the sampling program, Bryah CEO Ashley Jones said: “With the focus on Lake
Johnston Lithium exploration, it is great that we have been able to mobilise a contractor to assist
with the collection of soil samples. The crew will initially start following up the anomalies in the
Pegasus prospect area, before moving to Arpeggio and Roundbottom prospects near Mt Day. Soil
sampling is an easy and effective exploration technique to find LCT pegmatites that are not exposed
at surface. The recent discoveries 1 by TG Metals (ASX:TG6) and the Rio Tinto’s exploration
transaction with Charger Metals 2 (ASX:CHR) has highlighted the Lake Johnston regions Lithium
prospectivity”
The Lake Johnston Project consists of eight granted exploration leases and one lease under
application covering 794 km2. The exploration ground is within 10 kilometres to the east of the world
class Mount Holland Lithium mine. TG metals and Charger Metals have also had Lithium pegmatite
discoveries in the area. Tenements are also adjacent to the Mt Day lithium Field, with reported
grades over 3% Li2O 3

ABOUT BRYAH RESOURCES
Bryah’s assets are all located in Western Australia, a Tier One global mining and exploration jurisdiction.
Strategically the Projects are energy metals focused, or able to exploit synergies of geological knowledge,
locality and exploration.
The prospective Bryah Basin licences cover 1,048km2 and have a potential new Volcanogenic Massive
Sulphide (VMS) ‘Horseshoe Lights type’ mine analogue at the Windalah prospect, and multiple other similar
untested targets. The area also contains extensive outcroppings of manganese, the subject of a substantial
$7M joint venture with ASX listed OM Holdings Limited (ASX: OMH). OMH is a vertically integrated
manganese producer and refiner with a market capitalisation of ~$300m. Bryah and OMH have an excellent
working relationship, with OMH having already spent over $3.5 million to earn-in to the Manganese Rights
of the Project.
Gabanintha, near Meekatharra, has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource for Cu, Ni, Co2 and additional structural
gold potential. The copper nickel resource and identified gold mineralisation at Gabanintha will be the subject
of further drill definition and a prefeasibility study to integrate the project with the Australian Vanadium
Project (ASX: AVL). The resource has been defined by the drilling efforts of AVL in the development of its
vanadium project and enabled Bryah to define a base metal resources inventory.
Bryah’s base metals inventory at Gabanintha and manganese JV in the Bryah Basin have a clear pathway to
production, which will be significantly advanced in 2023 by the commencement and completion of
metallurgical feasibility studies at both projects.
The Lake Johnston tenements are prospective for battery metals lithium and nickel. The corridor near Lake
Johnston contains significant mines and discoveries of nickel and lithium, including the Mount Holland
Lithium Mine and the historical Maggie Hays/Emily Ann nickel deposits.
Bryah holds 14.73% of gold focused Star Minerals (ASX:SMS). Star has a Mineral Resource at Tumblegum
South and exploration prospects in the West Bryah Basin.
