Bryah Resources to list on ASX with initial $5mn fundraising investment

An emerging copper-gold exploration company is set to list on the ASX this week, following significant investment throughout an initial round of fundraising.

Bryah Resources, which has more than 900sqkm of high prospective Western Australian ground in the Bryah Basin and at Gabanintha, has raised an initial $5mn.

The company looks set to list on the ASX on October 17.

Investors include Australian Vanadium Ltd, which has 13.4% of Bryah, as well as a number of high-net Australian individual investors. This includes John Hutton, former director of Sandfire Resources which operates the high grade DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine, which is also located in the Bryah Basin.

Bryah Resources managing director Neil Marston expects to begin drilling soon, with initial results anticipated before Christmas this year.

“The interest from well-known Australian investors – with significant knowledge of junior explorers – has been keen because our backers recognise the prospectivity of Bryah’s holdings,” Marston said. “Bryah’s management team is strong and there is low sovereign risk associated with exploring for gold and base metals in Western Australia.”

“We are delighted to be listing on the ASX tomorrow, and look forward to commencing our first drilling program shortly,” he added.
