Quarterly Activities Report

For the period ended 31 December 2024

_______________________________________________________________________________

 

Highlights:

Karratha Gold Project - ARV 100%

·    Detailed geological mapping, a new geophysical and structural interpretation and additional rock chip sampling completed during the quarter across the Carlow Tenement have improved the understanding of the gold potential and identified several high priority targets for drilling commencing in early February 2025.

 

·      Drilling will initially test three targets along a 4km zone centred around the 374Koz Carlow gold resource. The first diamond hole will test the large Marillion Electromagnetic ("EM") conductor 500m east of Carlow, followed by drilling to test for extensions to Carlow down plunge from high-grade gold intersections.

 

·      Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling is planned to test below surface gold occurrences in mineralised veins and chert outcrops at the Titan Prospect 2km northwest of Carlow and a gravity-low feature potentially associated with the surface gold at Titan.

 

·    Additional rock chip results from selected surface samples at Titan, announced during the quarter include:

o 553,754 g/t Au & 1,305 g/t Ag (24AR19-075)

o 223,056 g/t Au & 1,195 g/t Ag (24AR19-068)

o 33,389 g/t Au & 233 g/t Ag (24AR19-061)

 

·    Rock chip results from selected surface samples at the Thorpe prospect, 2km south of Carlow, announced during the quarter include:

o 45.8 g/t Au, 3.7% Cu & 38.6 g/t Ag (24AR22-020)

o 12 g/t Au, 1.1% Cu & 3.7 g/t Ag (24AR22-014) 

o 10.3% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 69.4 g/t Ag (24AR22-013)

 

Corporate

·    Firm commitments received for A$4 million placement with Tranche One completed and $2.09 million received.  An Extraordinary General Meeting to be held 10 February 2025 to approve Tranche Two

 

·    In December 2024, highly experienced geologist and mining executive Julian Hanna was appointed Technical Director of Artemis, then Managing Director on 24 January 2025, post period-end.

 

Commenting on the activities during the quarter, recently appointed Managing Director Julian Hanna said:

"The December quarter was an important and productive period for Artemis, as it built the foundation for an exciting drilling campaign which will initially focus on the Carlow tenement and get underway soon.

During the quarter, the Carlow tenement continued to yield further high-grade gold results from selected surface samples of vein and chert outcrops not only at Titan, but also at the Thorpe prospect, 2km south of Carlow. While we don't expect that the high gold grades seen in many of the surface samples will be indicative of grades that may be intersected in drilling below these samples, I think the results are very encouraging:

Firstly, they demonstrate that potential still exists for significant gold discoveries within 2-3kms of our already substantial Carlow gold and copper deposit. Secondly, when combined with recent detailed geological mapping and structural interpretations, our geologists have been able to build a much clearer understanding of the geology and potential of this well mineralised area. The next step is to test several of the high priority targets with RC and diamond drilling commencing in early February. The three targets to be drilled in the initial phase have never been effectively tested.

As a result of the capital raising in late December, Artemis is now well funded for the planned drilling around Carlow and progressing other promising targets at the Karratha Gold Project. I am fortunate to be able to work with a very experienced and committed technical and corporate team focused on deploying these funds towards making discoveries, building the assets and driving value for shareholders."

 

Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to provide an activities report for the quarter ended 31 December 2024. During this period the Company reported further high grade surface gold results, completed mapping and a re-interpretation of the Carlow Tenement, finalised a capital raising for drilling and other exploration activities and appointed a new Managing Director.

 

Karratha Gold Project - ARV 100%

On 10 October 2024, Artemis reported surface sampling results from its Titan Prospect (Figure 1) which identified high grade gold and silver assays[1]. Results from the second surface sampling program were completed at Titan and included a number of samples from the initial campaign which previously delivered over-limit assays.

Table 3 - Thorpe assay results >0.5 g/t Au and >1% Cu

 

High-grade gold, copper and silver assay results from the Thorpe prospect are from selected samples of outcropping veins sampled along three interpreted structures, each trending SW-NE and East-West for approximately 2km strike length.

Figure 2. Carlow Tenement - gravity image showing selected gold assays from surface rock chip samples and Titan gravity-low feature (blue).  Shows Carlow resource and Marillion EM target within interpreted 4km long northwest trending prospective zone, in red dash outline.

 

As a result of encouraging surface gold results within the Carlow tenement (Figure 2), combined with detailed geological mapping and the recent geophysical and structural interpretation several high priority targets have been identified for drilling.  These occur within a wide prospective zone centred around the Carlow deposit.

Post period-end, Artemis announced an initial phase of diamond and RC drilling to test three high priority targets with drilling expected to commence in early February 2025[3]. Despite proximity to Carlow, these three targets are previously untested.

[3] Refer to ASX Announcement dated: 28 January 2025

Summary of planned drilling on Carlow tenement - March quarter³ 

·      The first diamond hole will test the Marillion Target, a large EM conductor 500m east of Carlow resource and near the base of the Andover Intrusion

·      Diamond drilling will then test the potential for significant extensions to the Carlow resource, down plunge from previous high-grade gold intersections

·      RC drilling is then planned across the Titan Prospect 2km northwest of Carlow, as an initial test of widespread high-grade gold occurrences at surface

Drill hole Information	·    A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o down hole length and interception depth o hole length. ·    If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.	·    Not applicable as no drilling has been undertaken
Data aggregation methods	·    In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. ·    Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. ·    The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.	·    Not applicable as no data aggregation has been used.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	·    These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. ·    If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. ·    If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').	·    Not applicable as surface sampling is reconnaissance in nature.
Diagrams	·    Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	·    All the appropriate maps are provided in the body of this announcement.
Balanced reporting	·    Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	·    This announcement discusses the findings of recent reconnaissance sampling and field mapping observations.
Other substantive exploration data	·    Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	·    Previous Drilling completed by Artemis Resources, Legend Mining and Open Pit Mining   Chapman ·      Total of 19 drill holes completed at Chapman prospect for a total 4,847.3m including 18 RC (4,673m) and 1 Diamond drill hole (174.3m) - best intercept included 10m @ 3.4% Cu & 1.75g/t Au & 24.65g/t Ag from 116m (GLC007). Results are encouraging however considered preliminary in nature Thorpe ·      Total of 8 RC drill holes completed at Thorpe Prospect for a total of 2,017m - best intercept included 6m @ 0.85% Cu from 20m including 3.6% Cu & 2.33g/t Au from 23m (LFC007). (Refer to ASX announcement 06 December 2021) Results are encouraging however considered preliminary in nature ·      Historic drill assay records have been located from Legend Mining drilling including total 9 holes for a total of 304m ·      Best intercepts included: o  2m @ 3.6 g/t Au from 27m (CC14) ·      Artemis Resources completed total of 4 RC drill holes completed for a total of 506m.  ·      Best intercepts included: o  9m @ 2.7% Cu, 16.3 g/t Ag, from 67m in LFRC002 o  3m @ 2.16% Cu, 1.22 g/t Au, 16.1 g/t Ag, from 160m in LFRC001 o  1m @ 4.6% Cu, 2.2 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, from 33m in LFRC003 o  1m @ 3.4 g/t Au from 32m in LFRC004 (refer to Artemis ASX announcement 11th February 2016) ·    Sing Well - Sing Six Prospects • Total of 14 RC drill holes completed for a total of 376m. Best intercept included 2m @ 0.97g/t Au from 9m (SSRC007) (refer to ASX announcement 18th September 2020) ·    Geochemical sampling and geological mapping were completed by Artemis Resources and reported to the ASX on 5th November 2018. ·      Validation & compilation of historic data is ongoing.
Further work	·    The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). ·    Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	·    Artemis Resources plans to conduct further ground reconnaissance and sampling to outline the size of the potential gold associated mineralised envelop.   This work will contribute to undertaking more advance assessments and eventual drill target ranking
