Upon successful IPO, BYH will hold 100% of Gold and Base Metals mineral rights in Gabanintha Project(AVL - 0.75% NSR royalty).

Gabanintha – Project Location

• 40km south of Meekatharra.

• <30km to 2 operating gold plants at Bluebird (Westgold) and Burnakura (Monument (TSX)) both treating <3g/t gold ore;

• Limited copper/gold exploration has identified mineralisation at Tumblegum South and elsewhere in the project area;

• Priority 1 is to define a mineral resource at Tumblegum South;

• Potential to be mining and treating high-grade gold ore through one of the nearby gold plants, with low or no capital expenditure outlays, within ~2 year timeframe.

Gabanintha – Tumblegum South Prospect

• Significant shallow Au/Cu mineralisation intersected in 2013 drilling.

• Follow-up drilling due to start in September 2017 – aim is to test below earlier drill holes.

• Drilling to be completed in 2017.

• Mineral resource estimation work to follow drilling in 2018.

• Mining studies to follow as soon as practicable thereafter.

• Commercialisation/production options to be evaluated.

Bryah Basin – Project Location

Bryah Basin – Exploration Strategy

• Exploration will focus on finding hidden repetitions of Horseshoe Lights/DeGrussa style high-grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Cu-Au deposits.

• Both Horseshoe Lights and DeGrussa contained ultra high grade (+20% copper + gold) supergene zones with over 100-150,000 tonnes of direct shipping ore in each.

• Both deposits were originally explored as shallow, gold targets.

• High grade copper intersected by deeper drilling at ~100m depth in both.

Direct Shipping Ore sample grading 45% Copper from the Horseshoe Lights Copper/Gold mine located <3 km

from Bryah Resources project area

Bryah Basin - Exploration Targets

Numerous historical Au/Cu targets within the Project area exist. Priority targets include:

• Aquarius

• Fortnum

• Fiddlers East

• Orchard Well

• Harmony

Most target areas have had only limited shallow drilling to date.

2017 ground mapping by Bryah has identified very large-scale hydrothermal alteration systems.

FORTNUM

AQUARIUS

FIDDLERS EAST

HARMONY

ORCHARD WELL

Bryah Basin – Airborne Magnetic Survey

• Flown in March/April 2017.

• Over 16,000 line km flown at 50 metre line spacing (very high resolution).

• Previously unseen structures clearly shown in new survey area –providing much better understanding of the geological setting and highlighting new exploration targets to follow-up.

• Detailed interpretation and target generation work underway – will be completed by the time Bryah lists on ASX.
