Quarterly Activities Report

For the period ending 30 June 2025

_______________________________________________________________________________

During the June quarter, substantial preparatory work was undertaken by Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) leading up to a major exploration and drilling campaign at three core gold and copper projects, all with excellent growth potential. Drilling is planned to start in August with summaries of the three projects below.

Post the reporting period, Artemis successfully completed a placement[1] to fund the exploration and drilling and early development studies at Carlow.  On 21 July 2025 the Company announced firm commitments to raise A$4.75 million from institutional and sophisticated investors with the placement strongly supported by new and existing investors in Australia and the United Kingdom.

 

Carlow Gold/Copper Extension Drilling

During the quarter the Company completed a review of more than 400 historic drill holes which formed the basis of the 2022 Carlow Mineral Resource estimate which contains 374koz gold and 66,000t copper[2].  The review focused on the potential of the high-grade gold and copper lodes within the wider resource with support provided by more than 190 assays >10.0g/t gold in 80 historic holes and more than 500 assays >2.0% copper in 162 historic holes[3].

Planned drilling is intended to scope out the potential for significant extensions to the high-grade gold and copper lode system, well beyond the current limit of drilling[4] and includes:

Ø Widely spaced holes within a 600m gap along strike between the existing resource and an isolated intersection of: 7m @ 2.9g/t Au, including 1m @ 15.3g/t Au[5]

Ø Widely spaced holes to follow up an isolated historic intersection of: 4m @ 11.1 g/t Au and 2.0% Cu 120m below the Carlow resource, which is open below 380m depth

Ø Drilling at the Chapman/Thorpe prospect to test for repetitions of high-grade gold and copper lodes south of Carlow, below the flat lying Andover Intrusion

 

A Project Manager will also be appointed to manage early development studies at Carlow in parallel with the extension drilling program.  Studies will include including conceptual open pit and underground mining studies, metallurgical test work, and a review of processing options.

Titan Satellite Gold Targets

Detailed geological mapping and data compilation of the extensive Titan prospect  2-3km west of Carlow was completed during the quarter.  Despite its proximity to Carlow and high-grade gold values reported in 2024[8] from selective sampling by Artemis of quartz veins and brecciated chert from four small outcrops, only 3 holes have been drilled at Titan.

Three holes (25ARDD003, 25ARDD004, 25ARDD005) were drilled along one traverse on the eastern side of Titan by Artemis[9] in February 2025.  All holes intersected elevated gold intervals up to 0.5g/t Au in a previously untested sequence of strongly altered chrome-rich ultramafics and sediments.  A peak value of 1m @ 16.4g/t Au in hole 25ARDD004 from 67m down hole depth[10] was intersected in a 50m wide porphyry dyke intruded into the sequence.

The next phase of drilling at Titan will comprise shallow, low-cost RC drill traverses to identify gold and related geochemical anomalies and provide geological data across wide areas with transported cover. A gravity survey was completed in June and confirmed 4 discrete gravity anomalies (G1-G4) interpreted within the wide, structurally complex Regal Thrust zone.

A heritage survey has also been completed for drilling access in the western part of Titan including the G1 anomaly. While the outcome of the heritage survey is awaited, Artemis is targeting a start in late August and has contacted RC drilling contractors to test the following : 

Ø Along strike from the previously untested ultramafic/sediment sequence intruded by porphyry which was intersected for the first time by Artemis in March Q.  All three holes intersected elevated gold up to 0.5g/t Au (peak assay: 1m @ 16.4g/t Au)[11] 

Ø Below the undrilled 400m wide G1 gravity anomaly in an area where selective sampling of small outcrops of brecciated and ferruginous chert returned assays up to 51.8g/t Au[12] 50m spaced RC drill traverses are planned initially (Refer Figure 4)

Cassowary IOCG Copper-Gold - Exploration Project

Excellent progress has been made at the Cassowary Project including further interpretation of data from previous explorers in the region and progress towards having the tenements granted which should enable drilling to get underway to test the large Cassowary Intrusion.

The Cassowary Intrusion is a rare opportunity to test a large, undrilled exploration target in a very favourable geological setting for potential IOCG type copper/gold mineralization.  The potential for IOCG type copper-gold mineralisation occurring in the Cassowary area has been given added credibility with adjacent EL applicant WA1 Resources also announcing it is targeting IOCG[14]

 

Ø Artemis tenements cover a total 538km2 including the initial EL application (330km2) over the interpreted 5km wide Cassowary Intrusion and two nearby EL applications (total 203km2) over other interpreted intrusions with favourable geophysical characteristics

Ø Negotiations for an Access Agreement including terms for a heritage survey for the three EL applications is progressing.  Assuming this agreement is signed in the near future, the Cassowary EL should proceed towards being granted in the September quarter

Ø Quotes have been received to conduct a detailed gravity survey across the Cassowary Intrusion once the EL is granted to assist in defining drill targets

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.  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[15]

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.
