- Funds primarily allocated to Golden Pike Gold and Antimony Project studies
- Placement price at 20.8% discount to recent volume-weighted average price
- No lead manager involved; placement uses ASX Listing Rule 7.1A capacity

Capital Raise to Support Exploration Momentum
Bryah Resources Limited has announced a private placement to raise $170,000 by issuing over 28 million new shares at a discounted price of $0.006 each. This capital injection is designed to fund ongoing environmental and mining studies, alongside general working capital needs, with a particular focus on advancing the Golden Pike Gold and Antimony Project in New Brunswick, Canada.
The placement price represents a 20.8% discount to the 15-day volume-weighted average price, a common strategy to incentivize sophisticated investors and ensure swift capital raising. Notably, Bryah has utilized its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and the raise was conducted without a lead manager, reflecting a streamlined approach to funding.
Strategic Project Portfolio Across Two Continents
Bryah’s asset base is diversified across Western Australia and Canada, both recognized as Tier One mining jurisdictions. The company’s Western Australian holdings include the Bryah Basin licences, prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits and manganese, the latter being the subject of a significant joint venture with OM Holdings Limited. This partnership has already seen substantial investment, with OMH spending over $4.5 million to earn into manganese rights.
In addition to manganese, Bryah’s Gabanintha project near Meekatharra hosts a JORC-compliant resource of copper, nickel, cobalt, and gold potential. Bryah is actively pursuing further drilling and prefeasibility studies to integrate this resource with the Australian Vanadium Project, highlighting a strategic focus on base metals and battery minerals.
Focused Investment in Golden Pike and Broader Growth Prospects
The newly raised funds will primarily support environmental and mining studies at Golden Pike, a high-grade gold and antimony project recently acquired in New Brunswick, Canada. This project represents a key growth avenue for Bryah as it seeks to expand its footprint in North America’s mineral-rich landscape.
Beyond Golden Pike, Bryah holds a stake in Star Minerals, which has gold resources and exploration prospects in the West Bryah Basin, and maintains prospective tenements near Lake Johnston targeting lithium and nickel, critical battery metals in high demand globally.
While the placement is modest in size, it underscores Bryah’s commitment to advancing its projects methodically, balancing exploration with strategic partnerships and potential asset sales, such as discussions around nickel rights with Australian Vanadium Limited.
Bottom Line?
Bryah’s latest capital raise sets the stage for focused exploration progress, but investors will watch closely for tangible results and broader funding strategies.
Questions in the middle?
- What specific milestones will Bryah target with the Golden Pike environmental and mining studies?
- How might the placement discount impact shareholder sentiment and share price in the near term?
- What are the prospects and timelines for monetizing Bryah’s nickel and other metal rights?
