Dear Option Holder,
EXERCISE OF ARTEMIS LISTED OPTIONS (ASX: ARVOB) BY 30 JUNE 2011 AND NEWS UPDATE
Enclosed please find a letter outlining the process of exercising your options to acquire Artemis Resources Limited shares at $0.05 per share by 30 June 2011 and an application form for this purpose. These options will expire on this date.
We have also enclosed a newsletter to shareholders which outlines the status of the Company’s major gold projects at Mt Clement and Yandal and our plans for the remainder of 2011.
Our long term objective is to build a gold inventory to 1 million ounces. We are encouraged by the results of the drilling programmes at Mt Clement in 2010 and at Yandal in 2011. The resource at Mount Clement and a number of prospects at Yandal are open at depth and along strike, and we believe additional drilling campaigns in 2011 will move the company further towards its goal.
The Company is also actively reviewing strategic acquisition targets which should accelerate achievement of the objective and add to shareholder wealth.
Artemis has been reviewing and will continue to review non-core assets with a view to divestment, provided this is in accordance with the Company’s strategy and enhances the value of the business.
I encourage you to exercise your options in accordance with the procedures attached and I look forward to your ongoing support as a shareholder in Artemis Resources Limited.
Yours faithfully,

The project shows potential to host a large gold-silver deposit. Historical data, 2010 Artemis drill results and new resource calculations, all confirm that high grade gold-silver mineralisation is open at depth and of a style (Carlin) that could be the tip of a large gold system.
The target area covers the mining leases and a large portion of the surrounding exploration lease, including a new gold-silver zone uncovered by Artemis 150m west of the existing resource during the 2010 program. At Eastern Hills, approximately 3km from the Mt Clement resource, historic rock-chips collected by BHP in 1979 returned the following significant results:

Impressive results from latest Yandal drilling
irst pass drilling completed in May 2011 at the Yandal gold project in the gold rich Yandal-Bronzewing Fgreenstone belt in Western Australia has intersected very promising high-grade gold at the Forked Stick prospect. It also identified a new south-eastern extension of the historic Lowlands resource.
The recent drilling program of 16 holes totalling 2330m covered four of the 10 gold deposits/prospects on our tenements that contain exciting historical gold intersections. The Artemis tenements cover a zone of the Yandal belt just 30km north of the 4 million oz Bronzewing mine and CIP plant.
Results gained from the latest drilling campaign were excellent, with 13 of the 16 holes yielding intersections of gold above 0.5g/t gold. The best results came from drilling at Forked Stick where Artemis hole 15 intersected a new high-grade zone: 9.0m @ 7.15g/t Au from 72m, a good 60m below the previous historic drilling (BRC029, 7m @ 11.44g/t Au from 17-24m, EOH 35m). The new mineralisation is open at depth and along strike. Follow-up drilling is planned to commence in June to further investigate the Forked Stick gold intersections.
At Lowlands, mineralisation has been intersected some 60m south-east of the previous JORC gold envelope of 23,560 oz gold, defining a southern extension.
A deep vertical hole at Lowlands also discovered mineralisation at 225m, well below the existing resource. Hole 3 was designed to test for stacked gold lenses below Lowlands and returned 5.0m at 1.6g/t from 225m including 2.0m @ 3.63g/t. Follow up drilling is also planned to investigate these results.
“ This indicates the potential for another gold zone below the historic Lowlands resource. I’m pleased to say the Yandal results are highly encouraging and have succeeded in fulfilling the company’s exploration objectives.”
Gavin Wendt, Mining Analyst, Minelife
During the next phase of drilling Artemis also plans to target extensions of the historic Slav Well inferred resource of 8,237 oz gold and drill beneath the International and 6 Mile Well prospects, where historic results have been significant:
-
International Prospect: Historic BRC043 returned 2m @ 4.15g/t Au from 51-53m depth
-
6 Mile Well Prospect: Historic BRC037 returned 2m @ 3.75g/t Au from 46-48m depth.
Our goal at Yandal, at a time of record gold prices, is designed to confirm high grade mineralisation and test for major extensions to this mineralisation. With further exploration, the Yandal project has the potential to deliver a Bronzewing-sized deposit to Artemis.
