Quarterly Activities Report
For the period ending 31 March 2025

Highlights
Karratha Gold Project (ARV 100%) - Site Exploration
The first phase of drilling to test three previously undrilled gold targets in the immediate area of the 100% owned Carlow gold/copper deposit was successfully completed during the quarter[1].
· Phase One comprised five diamond holes for a total of 1,790m as an initial test of the Marillion, Carlow East and Titan targets which extend over 2.7kms[2]
· Results announced post reporting period include 7m @ 2.9g/t Au including 1m @ 15.3g/t Au from 404m in 25ARDD001, the first hole to test the Marillion Prospect[3]
· The Marillion intersection is significant and may extend potential for Carlow high-grade lodes up to 600m east of previous drilling. The 600m gap is now a priority for drilling
· Phase One drilling included three initial holes at Titan, intersecting elevated gold values from 0.2g/t to 0.5g/t Au and an intersection of 1m @ 16.4g/t Au from 67m in 25ARDD004
· Phase One drilling resulted in new interpretation of the Carlow geology which opens-up wider potential for mineralisation. Next phase of drilling is planned to start in June
Karratha Gold Project - Carlow Review
Artemis has commenced a review of >400 historic drill holes which formed the basis of the 2022 Carlow Mineral Resource estimate which contains 374koz gold and 66,000t copper [4].
· 192 high-grade gold assays (>10g/t Au) intersected in 80 historic holes identified during initial stage of the Carlow review[5]
· 515 high-grade copper assays (>2.0% Cu) intersected in 162 historic holes identified during initial stage of the Carlow review[6]
· Deepest historic hole at Carlow intersected 4m @ 11.1 g/t Au & 2.0% Cu in 20CCDD003, outside the resource with potential open below and along strike
· Conceptual technical studies of Carlow including metallurgical test work are planned next steps pending completion of the Carlow review
Pilbara Lithium Joint Venture (ARV 50%) - Andover Lithium
· Artemis signs binding JV agreement with GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE) to consolidate lithium rights of both companies' extensive holdings into Andover Lithium Pty Ltd[7]
Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to provide the activities report for the quarter ended 31 March 2025. During this period the Company completed the first phase of diamond drilling (Phase One) which was an initial test of three previously undrilled targets along a 2.7km long structural zone centred around the Carlow gold/copper deposit. Despite the proximity to the Carlow Mineral Resource announced in October 2022[8] which was based on >400 historic aircore, reverse circulation and diamond core drill holes, there is no effective drilling either east or west along strike from Carlow.
The targets were identified during a review of all available data which included high grade surface gold occurrences announced by Artemis during 2024[9], geological and structural interpretations and detailed geological mapping of outcrops during the December 2024 quarter.
Phase One comprised five diamond holes for a total of 1,790m as an initial test of the Marillion, Carlow East extensions and Titan targets which are plotted on Figure 1.

The Phase One drilling program was successful with high-grade gold intersected at two of the targets, Marillion and Titan (Refer to figure 1). The intersection at Marillion opens up potential for possible extensions to the Carlow deposit up to 600m east along strike from any previous drilling. The intersection at Titan is associated with elevated gold values up to 0.5g/t Au intersected in a previously unknown and completely untested sequence interpreted under cover along the eastern margin of the large Titan gravity anomaly (refer to figures 3 and 4).
Highlights from the drilling include high-grade gold (>15g/t Au) intersected at the Marillion and Titan targets located 2.7km apart on the same structural zone which hosts the 374koz gold and 66,000t copper resource at Carlow. Importantly the first drill hole at the large Marillion target intersected 7m @ 2.9g/t Au including 1m @ 15.3g/t Au from 399m downhole in 25ARDD001, approximately 600m east along strike from any previous drilling at Carlow. This one intersection suggests gold mineralisation may extend well beyond the current deposit with the gap between Carlow and Marillion (refer to Figure 1) now a high priority for drilling planned to start in June.
The potential for extensions to the Carlow deposit is also supported by an intersection of 4m @ 11.1 g/t Au and 2.0% Cu in hole 20CCDD003, the deepest historic drill hole at Carlow[12]. This intersection is at approximately 500m vertical depth and is not included in the Carlow resource. The high-grade intersection in hole 20CCDD003 warrants step out drilling to test for other high-grade gold and copper lodes and potential resource extensions below Carlow.
Phase One included three holes at Titan drilled below one of four surface gold occurrences in quartz veins and chert outcrops around a central gravity-low feature reported in 2024 and 2025[13]. The holes intersected a previously unknown sequence of chrome rich ultramafic rocks and sediments intruded by porphyry. All three holes at Titan (25ARDD003, 25ARDD004, 25ARDD005) reported elevated values of gold between 0.2g/t and 0.5g/t Au within the ultramafic unit and porphyry intrusion with 1m @ 16.4g/t Au intersected in the porphyry intrusion in hole 25ARDD004 from 67m down hole (refer to Figure 2).

During the quarter Artemis commenced a review of >400 historic drill holes which formed the basis of the 2022 Carlow Mineral Resource estimate which contains 374koz gold and 66,000t copper[17]. The review coincides with the current gold price (~USD3,300/oz), almost double the price when the Carlow Mineral Resource was announced in October 2022[18] (~USD1,640/oz), and with the Artemis announcement on 28 April 2025 which includes a 'Carlow lode type' gold intersection in the first hole (25ARDD001) at the Marillion target, 600m east of Carlow.
The first step in the Carlow review is to evaluate numerous (>700) high-grade gold and copper assays reported from approximately 240 historic drill holes. High gold and copper assays are widespread across the Carlow lode system and include the following assays (listed in Tables 1 and 3 in the Artemis announcement on 28 April 2025) with many plotted on Figure 1 above:
· Approximately 192 high-grade gold assays (>10g/t Au) intersected in 80 historic holes identified during initial stage of the Carlow review[19]
· Approximately 515 high-grade copper assays (>2.0% Cu) intersected in 162 historic holes identified during initial stage of the Carlow review[20]
· An intersection of 4m @ 11.1 g/t Au & 2.0% Cu at ~500m vertical depth in 20CCDD003, the deepest historic hole at Carlow which is below and outside the resource
Depending on results of the initial review of historic drilling at Carlow, Artemis expects to appoint consultants to undertake conceptual technical studies including metallurgical test work on drill core samples from Carlow with this work planned to start later in the June quarter.
Pilbara Lithium Joint Venture (ARV 50%) - Andover Lithium
Artemis and GreenTech Metals (ASX: GRE, 'GreenTech') have executed a binding agreement to consolidate the lithium mineral rights of their respective tenement holdings near Karratha in the West Pilbara. The combined lithium mineral rights will be held in a joint venture company called Andover Lithium Pty Ltd ('Andover Lithium') with Artemis and GreenTech each holding 50% interest. (Refer to Artemis ASX announcement on 3 April 2025).
Andover Lithium will create the largest lithium exploration holding in the West Pilbara with over 420 km2 situated along strike from Azure Minerals lithium discovery (refer Figure 6). The tenement package encompasses a large part of the Karratha-Roebourne lithium corridor and includes six known lithium prospective areas, four with significant outcrops of spodumene bearing pegmatites[21]. Consolidation of the extensive lithium interests into a joint venture structure provides an opportunity to attract a major funding partner into Andover Lithium.

The combined tenements contain undrilled lithium bearing pegmatite outcrops within the same regional corridor which hosts the Tier 1 lithium pegmatite project discovered by Azure Minerals that has a reported Exploration Target of 100 - 240Mt @ 1.0 - 1.5% Li2O[22]
Consolidation of the extensive lithium interests of Artemis and GreenTech into a 50:50 joint venture will allow the two companies to focus on their core exploration and resource expansion activities in the Karratha region, respectively for gold and copper/zinc. The consolidation should not require any substantial management time or involve any material costs from either company.
