ASX Announcement 29 November 2013

MAIDEN JORC RESOURCE ACHIEVED AT EASTERN HILLS Additional potential exists in adjacent high grade zones

EASTERN HILLS ANTIMONY-LEAD (Sb - Pb) DEPOSIT

  • Maiden JORC resource at Eastern Hills Taipan Zone exceeds grade expectations

  • Indicated Mineral Resource = 0.8 million tonnes @ 2.0% Sb & 3.1% Pb (1.0% Sb cutoff grade)

  • Total Mineral Resource contains 1.3 million tonnes (Indicated + Inferred)

  • High confidence resource: 71% of antimony Mineral Resource in “Indicated” category

  • Taipan Zone 850m strike length, remains open at depth and to the east

  • Potential for resource additions with the recently discovered Dugite, Tiger and Gwardar Zones

  • Dugite Zone of high grade Sb-Pb-Ag-Au results expected to add to resource inventory

  • Potential mineralisation extends for another 2km strike length in these zones

  • Scoping Study to commence early 2014

  • Artemis to attend World Antimony Conference in Guilin, China – December 4-6

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX: ARV) is pleased to announce that it has achieved a significant milestone by releasing its maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource for the Eastern Hills Antimony-Lead Project located in the Ashburton region of Western Australia (Figure 6). This follows the identification of the project early this year and the Company’s successful reverse circulation (RC) drilling program that was completed in October.

The combined Indicated and Inferred resource exceeded size expectations, comprising 1.3 million tonnes at 1.7% Sb and 2.5% Pb (see Table 1 and Figure 1). Importantly, the higher confidence Indicated resource category returned higher grades than expected in antimony (2.0%), lead (3.1%) and gold (0.41g/t) compared to the Company’s Exploration Target estimated earlier this year[1] .

Table 1: Eastern Hills Mineral Resource estimate based on a 1.0% Sb cutoff grade

The Mineral Resource summarised in the table above was estimated by an independent mining consultancy group and has been compiled in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012).

This resource estimate only includes mineralisation from the Taipan Zone, with drill testing of the recently identified high grade Dugite Zone[2] (up to 35.7% Sb, 29% Pb, 1335g/t Ag and 3.36g/t Au), scheduled for the 2014 field season.

Artemis General Manager-Exploration, Trevor Woolfe, commented: “The Artemis team is to be commended on the progress of the emerging Eastern Hills Antimony-Lead Project during 2013, culminating in a maiden JORC compliant resource. We now look forward to building on this strong foundation in 2014, with a focus on drill testing the very high rock chip grades recently reported on the adjacent Dugite Zone. ”

Figure 1: Eastern Hills Mineral Resource, Antimony Zones and Drillhole Locations

RESOURCE ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY

The Eastern Hills JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource was estimated based on RC drill hole data obtained from 14 historical holes (1,469m) drilled by Taipan Resources NL in 1996-97, and 15 holes (2,470m) drilled by Artemis in September-October this year. Hole depths ranged from 40 to 246 metres, with all holes dipping at approximately 60 degrees and orthogonal to strike (Figure 1).

Mapping of the surface outcrop of the Taipan Zone has outlined a number of narrow sinuous quartz and sulphide rich sub parallel zones, reflecting the surface expression of intersections observed in the drilling (Figure 1). Additional zones (Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger) displaying similar characteristics have recently been identified through surface mapping and sampling but have not been included in the current resource. These new mineralised zones, with a total strike length of ~2,000m, have the potential to significantly increase the metal inventory at Eastern Hills.

Sectional interpretation at a nominal 0.5% Sb cut off was completed with the interpreted zones then wireframed to form coherent shapes. Eight individual wireframes were constructed to create the resource model. The grade estimation method was the “inverse distance cubed” of values lying within the validated wireframes (solids) with only the assays constrained within the individual wireframes/solids used for the interpolation. Parent block sizes populating the model were set at 2m (x), 2m (y) and 2m (z), with the sub‐cell size down to half of the parent cell size.

Two interpolation passes were run. The first used a large search of 240m (strike) x 140m (down dip) x 8m (down hole) to ensure the wireframe solids were totally filled with blocks. The second search used a smaller search ellipse to ensure the grades adjacent to the drill sample locations accurately reflected the grades without too much smoothing with an adopted search ellipse of 120m x 100m x 2m. The block models were merged to replace interpolated values.

==> picture [226 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

The azimuth and dip of the search ellipse varied depending on the individual wireframe and ranged from an azimuth of 62 to 78 degrees with a dip of -66 to -84 degrees. An assumed in situ bulk density (ISBD) of 3.0t/bcm for the fresh material and a conservative 2.4t/bcm for the oxide material was used. The oxidation boundary was interpreted from the geological logs, a DTM created and assigned into the block model.

The Indicated resource estimate has been classified based on data density, data quality, confidence in the geological interpretation and confidence in the estimation. The Inferred resource estimate is based on the continuity of the main zones extending a further 50 metres down dip to an assumed RL of -100m, approximately 300 metre below surface. The grade is based on interpolation of the assay values and extrapolated to the base of the model.

RESOURCE ESTIMATION RESULTS

The Eastern Hills Antimony-Lead Project Mineral Resource, covering the Taipan Zone, consists of Indicated and Inferred resources, as described in the accompanying Methodology section. The higher confidence Indicated resource has been estimated at different antimony cutoff grades to demonstrate the sensitivity of the resource (Table 2). At a nominal 1.0% Sb cutoff grade, the Indicated Mineral Resource is estimated to be:

INDICATED 0.8Mt at 2.0% Sb, 3.1% Pb, 26g/t Ag and 0.41g/t Au (1.0% Sb cutoff grade)

Given its inherently lower confidence level, the Inferred resource has been estimated using just the 1.0% Sb cutoff grade (Table 2). The combined or Total Mineral Resource is estimated to be:

INDICATED + INFERRED 1.3Mt at 1.7% Sb, 2.5% Pb, 22g/t Ag and 0.33g/t Au (1.0% Sb cutoff grade)

Table 3: Eastern Hills Total Mineral Resource – contained metal

The Total Mineral Resource contains 22,400 tonnes of antimony (Table 3). Over 70% of the Total Mineral Resource[3] is within the Indicated category. The remaining 29% of the resource estimate is within the Inferred category, highlighting the potential for mineralisation to continue at depth. Antimony continues to trade at just under US$10,000/tonne. While the individual average grades of Pb, Ag and Au within the resource (Table 2) are relatively low, the corresponding metal contents within the resource are as shown in Table 3 (above).

Detailed studies have yet to be completed to assess the viability of economically extracting and processing the Eastern Hills Mineral Resource however, this Mineral Resource estimate will form the basis of a Scoping Study which is due to be undertaken early in 2014.

Examples of the resource model, in both bench plan and cross section view are shown in Figures 3 and 4. Figure 5 is a long section of the Taipan Zone deposit, displaying contours of Sb grade x thickness from drillhole intercepts. This represents the distribution of antimony along the length and depth of the deposit and indicates that the higher grade areas of the deposit are most likely controlled by sub vertical cross cutting structures, with a significant higher grade section around the middle and to the east of the deposit, all the way to depth. The long section also displays the potential for additional mineralisation both down dip and along strike to the east where the resource is open.

PROPOSED PROJECT TIMELINE

With successful completion of the JORC resource estimation, planning is now underway for follow up activities to advance the Eastern Hills deposit. A field campaign to further map and sample new zones identified adjacent to the Taipan Zone, including the recently announced high grade Dugite Zone, has recently finished. Results of this work will lead to drill target generation for potential resource expansion. A scoping study to assess the economic parameters around the deposit is scheduled for early 2014 (Table 4), while planning is underway for follow up drilling to commence in 2014 following the regional wet season.
