Non Executive Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to offer you an opportunity to participate in this Rights Issue to acquire New Options over Artemis Shares. The New Options have an exercise price of $0.05 per Option and an expiry date of 30 June 2011.

The purpose of this Offer is to extend to all Shareholders the opportunity to acquire, at a nominal price, New Options which have the same terms as those issued to subscribers under the Company’s recent placement.

The Rights Issue is a pro rata non-renounceable offer of 1 New Option, at an issue price of $0.001 per New Option, for every 5 Shares held by Eligible Shareholders on the Record Date.

You should note that the Offer is non-renounceable. This means that you will not be able to sell or transfer your Entitlements under the Offer. The component of your Entitlement that you do not take up will lapse.

Details of the Offer, investment considerations relating to the Offer and a description of the Company's business are set out in this Prospectus. I recommend that you read this document carefully.

Artemis can look forward to an exciting year ahead. The Board and management have been actively perusing new opportunities and seeking to further consolidate on our current projects. We are excited by our upcoming drilling programs for our Niger and Mt Clement projects and look forward to the results of those programs.

The Board believes that the Offer terms are attractive and commends this Rights Issue to you.

Yours sincerely,

Issue
Terms of New Option: The issue price for the New Options is $0.001 per New
Option. The exercise price of the New Options is $0.05 per

Shares held.

holders of Shares at 5.00 pm (AWST) on the Record Date
with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand.
The number of New Options to which you are entitled is
shown
on
the
Entitlement
and
Acceptance
Form
accompanying this Prospectus. Fractional Entitlements
have been disregarded.
Shortfall Applications: The Company invites Eligible Shareholders to participate in
any Shortfall by applying for Additional Options in addition
to subscribing for their full Entitlement of New Options.
Last date for Application monies must be received by the Company's
acceptance and payment: Share Registry by 5.00 pm (AWST) on 20 November 2009.

1.2 Opening Date and Closing Date

The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances at 9.00 am (AWST) on 9 November 2009 and will close at 5.00 pm (AWST) on 20 November 2009 (the Closing Date ). The period of the Offer may be extended by the Company in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. Entitlement and Acceptance Forms received

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 6

after the Closing Date will be rejected and application monies will be returned without interest.

1.3 Non-renounceable Offer

The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that your right to subscribe for New Options under this Prospectus is not transferable. Any portion of your Entitlements that you decide not to accept will lapse.

1.4 Issue amount

A total of 33,333,990 New Options will be offered under the Rights Issue raising approximately $33,400, before issue costs. This is based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus and assumes that no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date such that the holders become Eligible Shareholders.

1.5 Entitlement

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus shows your Entitlement to New Options for which you may apply and the total amount you would have to pay should you choose to take up all your Rights. Your Entitlement to New Options is based on the number of Shares registered in your name on the Record Date.

You may subscribe for all or part of your Entitlement to New Options prior to the Closing Date. You can only accept this Offer by completing the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. There is no minimum subscription level.

If you apply for your full Entitlement, you may also use the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to apply for Additional Options in excess of your Entitlement.

If Eligible Shareholders do not accept all or part of their Entitlement, Additional Options comprising the Shortfall may be issued to Eligible Shareholders who apply for more than their Entitlement. If there is any Shortfall in subscriptions for New Options, the Directors, in their discretion, will determine the Eligible Shareholders to whom the Additional Options will be allocated and the amount of those allocations. There is no guarantee that you will receive Additional Options under any Shortfall.

If Applications for any Shortfall are not processed in full or in part, application moneys (without interest) will be refunded by the Company as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with a cheque for the application moneys or a BPAY® payment, constitutes a binding and irrevocable contract to buy the number of New Options specified in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or indicated by the amount of the BPAY® payment.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

7 ׀Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus

1.6 Shortfall

The Offer is not underwritten. However, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall at their discretion. The placement price of any Shortfall will be the same price at which New Options are offered to Eligible Shareholders.

1.7 Allotment

New Options issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued and allotted within 6 Business Days after the Closing Date (unless otherwise permitted by ASX). Where Additional Options are applied for and the allotment is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the issue and allotment of the New Options or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company on trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to confirm the number of New Options allotted to them prior to trading in the New Options. Applicants who sell New Options before they receive notification of the number of securities allotted to them do so at their own risk. The Company disclaims all liability, whether in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, to persons who trade New Options before receiving notification of the number of securities allotted to them.

1.8 Reasons for the Offer and use of funds raised

The purpose of this Offer is to extend to all Shareholders the opportunity to acquire at a nominal price New Options which have the same terms as those issued to subscribers under the Company’s recent Placement. The funds raised by the Offer, approximately $33,400 (before costs), will be used for general corporate purposes.

1.9 Shareholders resident outside Australia and New Zealand

Only Eligible Shareholders registered as holders of Shares at 5.00 pm (AWST) on the Record Date with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand may participate in the Offer.

The Company considers it is unreasonable to extend the Offer to shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand ( Excluded Shareholders ) having regard to the small number of such shareholders and the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in each of those jurisdictions. No Prospectus or Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are being sent to the Excluded Shareholders.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 8

The Company will send notice of the Offer to Excluded Shareholders other than Shareholders with registered addresses in the USA for information purposes only. It is the responsibility of any person who comes into possession of this Prospectus outside Australia and New Zealand to ensure compliance with all laws of their country of residence.

1.10 Terms of New Options and ranking of Shares

The New Options are subject to the terms and conditions described in this Prospectus. Shares acquired upon the exercise of New Options will be credited as fully paid and rank equally with Shares already issued.

1.11 Brokerage, stamp duty and handling fees

The Company will not pay any handling fees to ASX participating organisations in connection with the Offer. No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Applicants in relation to the Offer. However, you may have to pay brokerage on any subsequent trading of your New Options on ASX after they have been quoted on ASX.

1.12 ASX listing

Application will be made on the date of this Prospectus for the New Options offered under this Prospectus to be granted official quotation by ASX. If the New Options are not admitted to official quotation within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus (or such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC), all issues of New Options will be void and the Company will return all application monies received without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation of the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Options offered for subscription.

2.9 Validity of Applications

If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, or if the accompanying payment of application moneys is for the wrong amount or if the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not received by 5.00 pm (AWST) on the Closing Date, it may still be treated as a valid application. The Directors' decision whether to treat the Entitlement and Acceptance Form as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final. However, an Applicant will not be treated as having applied for more New Options (or Additional Options, as the case may be) than is indicated by the amount of the cheque for the application moneys. A BPAY® payment will be regarded as an application for the number of New Options (and Additional Options as appropriate) indicated by the amount of the BPAY® payment.

  • (b) The New Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to 5.00pm AWST on 30 June 2011 ( Option Exercise Period ) by completing an Option exercise form and delivering it together with the payment for the number of Shares in respect of which the New Options are exercised to the registered office of Artemis or to the Share Registry of Artemis.

  • (g) New Option holders shall be permitted to participate in new issues of securities on the prior exercise of New Options in which case the New Option holders shall be afforded the period of at least nine Business Days prior to and inclusive of the record date (to determine entitlements to the issue) to exercise their New Options.

  • (h) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the New Option holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (i) If there is a bonus issue to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which the New Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Option would have received if the New Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (j) In the event that a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) is made to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company, the exercise price of the New Option may be reduced in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22.

5.2 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares is set out below. This summary does not purport to be exhaustive or constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. Full details of the rights attaching to the Shares are set out in the constitution of the Company ( Constitution ), a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) Voting

Every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and on a poll every Shareholder who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Share held by him or her, but, in respect of partly paid Shares, shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share.

A poll may be demanded before a vote is taken, or before or immediately after the declaration of the result of the show of hands by the chairperson of the meeting, by at least five Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than five percent of the total voting rights of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution.

(b) Dividend

The Directors may from time to time declare dividends out of the profits of the Company. Subject to any rights or restrictions attaching to any Shares or classes of Shares, all dividends must be paid to members in proportion to the number of, and the amounts paid on, Shares held.

(c) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASTC Settlement Rules and any other laws the Shares are freely transferable.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 20

(d) Further Share issues

The Directors may (subject to restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules) allot or otherwise dispose of Shares on such terms and conditions as they see fit.

(e) Meetings and notice

Directors may convene a general meeting of the Company whenever they think fit. Shareholders may call meetings as provided by the Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

(f) Winding up

Subject to the rights of any Shareholders (if any) entitled to Shares with special rights in a winding-up, all monies that are to be distributed to Shareholders on a winding up will be distributed in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively, irrespective of the amount paid-up or credited as paid up on the Shares.

(g) Alteration of rights

Rights attached to any class of shares in the Company may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

6. Risks

There are a number of factors, both specific to Artemis and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of Artemis and the value of an investment in Artemis. Some of these factors can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of Artemis and cannot be mitigated.

This section describes certain risks associated with an investment in Artemis. Prior to accepting their Entitlements or applying for Additional Options, Applicants should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus.

6.1 Exploration, development, mining and processing risks

The business of mineral exploration, project development and mining by its nature contains elements of inherent risk. Ultimate success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:

  • (a) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore reserves;

  • (b) access to adequate capital for project development;

  • (c)

  • securing and maintaining title to tenements;

  • (d) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;

  • (e) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants; and

  • (f) adverse weather conditions over prolonged periods, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual rock formations, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond Artemis's control which can adversely affect exploration, mine development and mining operations and the timing of revenues.

Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 22

6.2 Commodity prices

If the Company achieves success which results in mineral production, it is anticipated that any revenues will primarily be derived from the sale of commodity metals or concentrates. Consequently, any future earnings are likely to be closely related to the price of these commodities.

Metal prices may fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include world demand for the minerals, forward selling by producers, and production cost levels in the various producing regions.

Moreover, metal prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors such as expectations regarding inflation, interest rates, currency and exchange rate fluctuations, and global and regional demand for, and supply of, the minerals as well as general global economic conditions. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

6.3 General economic risks and business climate

Share market conditions may affect the price of Artemis's listed securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (a) general economic outlook;

  • (b) taxation;

  • (c) movements in or outlook on interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (d) currency fluctuations;

  • (e) commodity price movements;

  • (f) changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and

  • (g) the demand for and supply of capital.

6.4 Environmental considerations

The Company's operations and proposed activities are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous wastes and materials. As with most exploration and mining operations, the Company's activities are expected to have a variety of environmental impacts, especially if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. The Company conducts its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

23 ׀Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus

6.5 Native title and aboriginal heritage

The effect of the present laws in respect of native title that apply in Australia is that mining tenement applications and existing tenements may be affected by native title claims or procedures. This may preclude or delay granting of exploration and mining tenements and considerable expenses may be incurred negotiating and resolving issues, including any compensation arrangement reached in settling native title claims lodged over any of the tenements held or acquired by Artemis.

The presence of Aboriginal sacred sites on tenements held by Artemis or its subsidiaries may limit or preclude exploration or mining activities within spheres of influence on those sites and delays and expenses may be experienced in obtaining clearances.

6.6 Personnel

The success of Artemis's existing and proposed operations depends to some extent on the ability of Artemis to attract and retain qualified and capable staff and consultants to perform geological, exploration, analytical, geotechnical, engineering, metallurgical and mining work.

If Artemis is unable to retain the necessary qualified personnel, the quality of its operations and performance may be adversely affected.

6.7 Additional financing requirements

Exploration and feasibility costs will reduce the cash reserves of Artemis, which may not be replaced through future mining operations, should these not eventuate, prove unsuccessful or perform below acceptable levels. Artemis would then be dependent on seeking further capital elsewhere, through equity, debt or joint venture financing, to support long term exploration and evaluation of its projects. Artemis can give no assurances that, if such further capital is required, it can be obtained on terms favourable to Artemis, if at all.

6.8 Title risk

Under the mining and exploration permits and licences and certain other contractual agreements to which Artemis is or may in the future become party, Artemis is or may become subject to payment and other obligations. In particular, exploration licence holders are required to meet the prescribed expenditure conditions imposed upon the Company by the governments of Western Australia and Niger. Failure to meet these expenditure commitments will render licences liable to be forfeited unless a total or partial exemption is granted.

Further, there is no guarantee that current or future applications, extensions or renewals of the tenements in which the Company has an interest will be granted.

==> picture [73 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 24

6.9 Sovereign Risk

The capacity to explore a mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy which is beyond the control of the Company. The Company holds 51% of its project in the Tim Mersoi basin in northeast Niger, which is located in Africa. Future government activities and policies concerning the economy, foreign ownership or the operation and regulation of facilities such as mines or mineral exploration operations could have a significant effect on the Company. A significant change in government activities or policies in Niger could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Niger project and the Company’s prospects.

7.2 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give potential Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Options under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to potential Applicants.

7.4 Clearing house electronic sub-register system and issuer sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS), for those Eligible Shareholders who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to Eligible Shareholders. Instead, Eligible Shareholders will be provided with a holding statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Options allotted to them under this Prospectus.

The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Securityholder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Monthly statements will be provided to Shareholders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

Arrangements can be made at any subsequent time to convert a Shareholder's holding from the issuer sponsored subregister to the CHESS subregister under sponsorship of a broker, or the reverse, by contacting the Company's Share Registry and/or the Shareholder's broker.

7.5 Dividend policy

The Company does not anticipate paying dividends for the forthcoming financial year.

7.6 Litigation

Artemis is not involved in any legal or arbitration proceedings, nor so far as the Directors are aware, are any such proceedings pending or threatened by or against Artemis.
