PETALING JAYA: OM Holdings Ltd’s joint venture (JV) with Bryah Resources Ltd has commenced drilling for manganese in the Bryah Basin, 150km north of the central Western Australian town of Meekatharra.

       Australian Stock Exchange-listed OM Holdings, which completed its secondary listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia in June, shared in a statement that the 2,000-metre drilling programme is planned to test some of the potentially concealed manganese targets identified by a geophysical survey in the vicinity of the Brumby Creek Prospect.

       The drilling would primarily focus on the Bryah West, Redrum, Mollie and Clover targets, it said.
