lulu creek gold prospect set to be drill tested

mobilisation to occur shortly

targets identified

_______________________________________________________________________________

Highlights:

·   Lulu Creek prospect now cleared for drilling

·   Heritage and Ethnographic Surveys completed

·   Targeting potential for Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS)

·   Previous shallow drilling intersected several anomalous gold zones (>0.4g/t Au) over 1.5km including 1m @ 4.89 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag

·   WA Government co-funded drilling grant approved

·   Teams to mobilise in coming days

Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to provide an update to the planned drilling of the Lulu Creek prospect in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are excited that we are close to drilling the targets at the Lulu Creek prospect. The pathway to obtaining clearance was a long but successful one and we are very pleased to have the support of the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation to undertake this activity. We are looking forward to getting the drill rig spinning and will keep the market updated as to our progress."

About Lulu Creek

Lulu Creek lies 20km to the west of the Company's Carlow Castle deposit and forms part of the prospective Greater Carlow area (Figure 1). It was initially identified in 2018 via a regional soils and rock chip program defining an area of interest over 4km in an east-west orientation. Subsequent mapping and rock chip sampling identified gold associated with quartz veins and gossans within an unclassified weathered geological unit mostly covered by shallow transported sands and gravels.

Artemis completed 126 shallow RC drill holes in 2020 with an average depth of 20m and a maximum depth of 50m. (Refer: ARV announcement 18 September 2020).  The RC drill program was very successful in identifying several zones of highly anomalous (>0.4g/t Au) gold mineralisation at shallow depth including an intersection of 1m @ 4.89 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag from 24m (Refer Table 1, from ARV announcement 18 September 2020).  The gold zones extend over 1.5km and are associated with disseminated sulphide and quartz veins within an interpreted quartz diorite intrusion.

Subsequent to the 2020 drilling program, a 15-line dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) survey was completed in July 2023. This identified two IP chargeability anomalies within the interpreted Lulu Creek intrusion, broadly coincident with the anomalous gold zones intersected in the shallow drilling program in 2020 (Refer Figures 2 and 3).

The company was also the successful recipient of a government grant to co-fund the planned drilling at the Lulu Creek as part of the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) exploration incentive scheme funding (EIS).

This announcement was approved for release by the Board.

About Artemis Resources

Artemis Resources (ASX/AIM: ARV; FRA: ATY; US: ARTTF) is a gold, copper and lithium focused resources company with projects in Western Australia. The Company's main projects include;

·     Karratha Gold Project including the Carlow Castle 704koz AuEq gold-copper-cobalt project in the West Pilbara;

·     Karratha Lithium Project including the high grade Mt Marie Lithium Prospect and the Osborne Lithium JV (Artemis 49%; GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE 51%)

·     Paterson Central Gold/Copper project in the Paterson Province (located adjacent to Greatland Gold / Newmont's recent gold-copper discovery at Havieron and only ~42km from the Newmont Telfer gold mine).

·     Artemis also owns the Radio Hill processing plant, located only 35km from Karratha.

Artemis is focused on discovering multiple gold prospects within its +200km² tenement package that can build upon the initial Mineral Resource at Carlow. The majority of the tenement package has been lightly explored and is now the subject of methodical exploration programs with a view to identify all gold zones, veins, structures and faults.

The Company will also continue to progress the Karratha Lithium project including the high grade Mt Marie prospect and will look to advance this exciting project through further field work which will lead to drilling the most advanced targets in due course.
