Bryah Resources makes new nickel-copper-cobalt discovery in Bryah Basin

Bryah Resources Ltd (ASX:BYH) has made new a nickel-copper-cobalt discovery after assessing results from recently completed reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Mount Labouchere prospect within the Bryah Basin.

The shallow drilling comprising 16 holes for 256 metres has returned up to 4 metres at 0.22% nickel, 0.38% copper and 0.28% cobalt from 10 metres.

Mount Labouchere prospect is within the company's Bryah Basin Project, around 150 kilometres north of Meekatharra in central Western Australia.*Results "highly significant"*

Bryah managing director Neil Marston said: "The discovery of nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation in shallow drilling at Mount Labouchere is a very exciting development for the company.

"This prospect area was drilled to test for manganese that occurs at the surface. Generally, only low-grade manganese mineralisation was intersected in the drilling.

"However, the nickel-copper-cobalt assay results are considered highly significant, as they appear in several drill holes with the low-grade manganese."

Mt Labouchere is 15 kilometres north of the Fortnum gold mine operated by Westgold Resources Limited (ASX:WGX) and 65 kilometres south of the Abra lead-silver-copper-gold deposit being developed by Galena Mining Limited (ASX:G1A).

In May 2020, the RC program was completed as part of manganese exploration under the Bryah Basin Manganese Joint Venture with OM (Manganese) Limited, a subsidiary of OM Holdings Limited (ASX:OMH).
