Artemis 100% Lithium Project

Further ground reconnaissance was completed during the quarter and was designed as a follow up to the original Mt Marie results where rock chip assays peaked at 4.67% Li₂O. These results confirmed the high-grade strike at Mt Marie and will lead to further exploration work to uncover the extent of the mineralisation. This work will include additional programs to identify sub-surface pegmatites and lithium mineralisation.

Osborne East was also included in the expanded exploration program which was subject to additional sampling, resulting in another round of multiple rock chip assays returning greater than 0.5% Li₂O.

Figure 4. Artemis Resources Osborne East rock chip results

As a result, the strike length of the Osborne East prospect has again been extended through this most recent program with multiple zones of pegmatite extending across an area of 500mx350m and which remains prospective for further growth.

The rock chip assays included the following;

Mt Marie Prospect

o  24AR04-07 - 4.63% Li₂O

o  24AR04-14 - 4.52% Li₂O

o  24AR04-13 - 4.28% Li₂O

o  24AR04-12 - 3.63% Li₂O

o  24AR04-04 - 3.45% Li₂O

Osborne East Prospect

§ 24AR04-20 - 0.69% Li₂O

§ 24AR04-24 - 0.60% Li₂O

§ 24AR04-25 - 0.59% Li₂O

§ 24AR04-26 - 0.59% Li₂O

Rock chip samples previously taken from the Mt Marie prospect were tested for mineralogy type at Curtin University and the analysis confirmed that the host mineral for the lithium is spodumene.

The high grade Li₂O results at Mt Marie confirms the Company has discovered a potentially high grade system which is important in a regional sense in that it is reflected by Azure Minerals' Andover project where a peak rock chip assay result of 4.87% Li₂O was recorded and an exploration target of 100-240Mt @ 1.00-1.5% Li₂O reported.

Osborne Lithium Project (ARV 49%)

A follow-up in-fill soil program comprised a total 916 samples was completed focussing on the southern portion of the Osborne JV tenement with results from the program reported post-quarter end. The Osborne pegmatite zone is defined by a large associated anomalous lithium soil footprint which has a strike of ~4km and a width of up to 1.3km.

Figure 5. Lithium Soil Footprint Associated with Osborne Pegmatite Cluster

 

The anomalous footprint eclipses the size of the observed pegmatite outcrop and indicates there is potentially more to be discovered at Osborne. The soils report a peak assay of 712ppm Li₂O and with numerous Li₂O assays greater than 300ppm. This in-fill sampling was undertaken on a 50m x 200m sampling grid.

Artemis 100% owned gold projects

Figure 6. Artemis tenement package in the West Pilbara with Carlow resource and gold prospects identified.

Ground exploration during the quarter was focused on revisiting the areas most prospective with respect to gold mineralisation and looked to confirm work where previous exploration was conducted.

Figure 7. Artemis Resources Carlow project prospects

This ground work commenced late in May 2024 and a small number of rock chips were taken across the tenement. The rock chips collected were taken proximate to previously identified targets, including specimens taken from historic workings to confirm mineralisation at these locations.

Results received from this program included:

Sing-Six Gold Nuggets

A very preliminary assessment for coarse grain gold in surface cover was completed using a gold detector at the Sing-Six prospect.  This work tested a relatively small area of approximately 25m x 25m in proximity to historic hard rock gold vein workings. 

Results returned 21 gold nuggets (totalling 9.7gms) up to 15mm in width. 

The physical characteristics of the gold include a majority with a high degree of angularity which indicates that they are very close and/or proximal to the likely hard rock source. 

Furthermore, some of the gold nuggets occur with attached quartz and iron oxides which compare to the mineralogy of the nearby gold bearing veins. 

The Company views the discovery of these nuggets as a tool to assist with near-surface targeting of hard rock gold occurrences, which is now being considered.

 Figure 9. Twenty-one gold nuggets collected (sample 24AR06-001) from the Sing-Six Prospect using metal detector (the physical characteristics of these nuggets indicate a likely 'close to source' relationship and how the discovery of these nuggets can further assist surface targeting toward in-situ and hard rock gold occurrences is currently being evaluated)

Paterson Central Project

While the activities completed by the Company during the quarter predominantly focussed on the West Pilbara gold and lithium prospects, Artemis continues to possess a highly strategic landholding in the Paterson gold province. The Paterson Central project consists of a 605km² exploration licence surrounding and adjacent to the Tier 1 Havieron Copper-Gold discovery is also 45km east of Telfer in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia.

Corporate

During the period, the Company announced it had received firm commitments to raise A$2.87 million at $0.01275 per share from institutional and sophisticated investors. The issue price represented a 29% discount to the 20 day VWAP. The offer was oversubscribed and well supported by existing shareholders.

The Company also issued one free attaching option for every two new shares (in total 112,843,137 options), with an exercise price of $0.025 and expiry date of 9 March 2026.

Funds will be used to undertake further gold and lithium exploration programs across the Company's tenement portfolio.

In addition, the Company appointed Elizabeth Henson as non-executive director during the quarter.  Ms Henson is an international lawyer with over 35 years of global experience in corporate governance, business and professional services.

As of 30^th June 2024, Artemis had ~$0.5 million in cash, and received a further $1.6 million subsequent to quarter end from the capital raise.

The Company spent $950,000 on exploration during the quarter which focused on lithium fieldwork and assays.

The Company paid directors $126,000 during the quarter for salaries, superannuation and consulting fees.
