ASX Announcement 12 November 2013

35.7% Sb - HIGHEST ANTIMONY RESULT TO DATE AT EASTERN HILLS New Dugite Zone grades overshadow Taipan Zone

EASTERN HILLS ANTIMONY-LEAD (Sb - Pb) DEPOSIT

  • New zone at Eastern Hills reveals highest antimony grade to date

  • Dugite Zone rock chip sample returns 35.7% Sb, 29.0% Pb, 1,335g/t Ag & 0.56g/t Au

  • Significant gold mineralisation also identified – up to 3.36g/t Au in Dugite Zone rock chip sample

  • Historic rock chip results up to 33.0% Sb, 36.0% Pb, 1,500g/t Ag & 6.80g/t Au also on Dugite Zone

  • Reinforces potential of new zones to add to Taipan Zone metal inventory

  • Follow-up field campaign in November to close off 2013 field season

  • JORC code compliant resource estimation of Taipan Zone mineralisation is underway

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX: ARV) is pleased to announce that high grade assay results have been received from follow-up geological mapping and sampling of antimony-lead mineralisation zones identified in close proximity to the Taipan Zone at Eastern Hills (Figure 1), located in the Ashburton region of Western Australia (Figure 4). While the Taipan Zone was the focus of Artemis’ recent drilling programme and current JORC resource study, the Company announced in September[1] that it had identified three additional zones of similar style mineralisation that appear to be part of a more widespread mineralised system – the Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger Zones.

The latest rock chip sampling results from the Dugite Zone, located just north of the Taipan Zone, have returned the highest antimony grade seen to date at the Eastern Hills Project of 35.7% Sb. The same sample, collected from the eastern portion of the Dugite Zone (Figures 1 & 2), also included extremely high grades of 29.0% Pb, 1,335g/t silver (Ag) & 0.56g/t gold (Au).

Further significant results from the Company’s October rock chip sampling of the new zones included:

5.4% Sb, 9.2% Pb, 277g/t Ag & 1.53g/t Au (Dugite Zone)1.1% Sb, 3.9% Pb, 44g/t Ag & 3.36g/t Au (Dugite Zone)3.8% Sb, 11.7% Pb, 50g/t Ag & 0.24g/t Au (Tiger Zone)

These results elevate the Dugite Zone to become a key focus in the Company’s quest for additional resources to add to the mineralisation recently drilled at the Taipan Zone. This is reinforced by Artemis’ recent re-evaluation of previously unseen historical data which revealed rock chip sampling results of up to 33.0% Sb, 36.0% Pb, 1,500g/t Ag & 6.80g/t Au in the vicinity of the Dugite Zone high grade results described above (Figure 2).

Artemis will undertake another detailed mapping and sampling campaign of the Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger Zones over the coming weeks, before the end of the field season.

Artemis General Manager-Exploration, Trevor Woolfe, commented: “Our exceptionally high grade rock chip results from the Dugite Zone that correlate with equally exceptional historical sampling results highlight the new zone’s antimony-lead-silver-gold potential in addition to that already outlined at the Taipan Zone. The high grades at Dugite are significantly higher than any of the surface sampling results recorded on the Taipan Zone.”

Figure 1: Eastern Hills - Latest Sampling of New Zones Adjacent to Taipan Zone (recently drilled)

EASTERN HILLS Sb-Pb – A MULTIPLE VEIN SYSTEM CONFIRMED

In January 2013, Artemis announced an exploration target[2] at Eastern Hills. This target was based on antimony-lead mineralisation identified by historical exploration on a singular massive sulphide vein (now known as the Taipan Zone) over a strike length of at least 600m. Identification of three new zones (Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger), as well as extensions to the Taipan Zone, through mapping and sampling in September[1] , increased the potentially mineralised combined strike length of all four zones by 350% to 2.8km.

Quartz-sericite alteration and silicification along fault structures identified at Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger corresponds with similar mineralised alteration on the Taipan Zone and indicates that the Eastern Hills system is not a lone vein, but a multiple vein system.

The latest round of rock chip sampling, consisting of 15 samples, was undertaken during breaks in the recent Taipan Zone drilling programme. Sampling was focussed on the Dugite and Tiger Zones in response to positive results received from our initial mapping programme in September where results of up to 2.9% Sb (Dugite Zone) and 5.0% Sb (Tiger Zone) were obtained[1] .

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

Significant results from the latest rock chip sampling (Table 1) provide further evidence that Eastern Hills is shaping up to be a significantly mineralised multi-vein system predominantly containing antimony-lead with locally rich precious metals. In addition to the exceptional antimony and lead results (35.7% and 29% respectively), silver up to 1,335g/t (or 43oz/t) and 3.36g/t gold have been obtained on the Dugite Zone (Table 1). The Tiger Zone also reported significant results up to 3.8% Sb.

Table 1: Eastern Hills Best Reconnaissance Sampling Results[3] – October 2013[4]

Taipan Zone

Drilling from the Company’s recently completed 15 hole reverse circulation (2,470 metre) programme along the Taipan Zone (Figure 1) has confirmed the excellent potential for this zone with the deposit extended to at least 850m strike length, and it remains open to the east and down-dip[5] . Artemis has now commenced a JORC code compliant resource estimation on the Taipan Zone.

Dugite Zone

The Dugite Zone lies immediately to the north of the Taipan Zone (Figure 1). This zone currently has a mapped strike length of approximately 1.1km and is striking east-northeast. As mentioned above, further encouragement was obtained from the latest rock chip sampling campaign with one particularly high grade result (sample 238639 - Table 1).

Artemis recently uncovered, and reviewed, historical rock chip sampling results along the Dugite Zone. Significant historical results (Sb>1%) are provided in Table 2 and are displayed on Figure 2. The results provide further support that the eastern end of the Dugite Zone is highly prospective for exceptionally high grade antimony, lead, silver and gold. Results of the historical sampling returned up to 33.0% Sb, 36.0% Pb, 1,500g/t Ag & 6.80g/t Au within a 50m zone of Artemis’ recent high grade antimony result (sample 238639), all of which were taken from the eastern end of the Dugite Zone. More detail of the results from both phases of sampling can be seen in Figure 2 which clearly shows high grade zones associated with two northwest-southeast trending interpreted fault zones cross-cutting the Dugite Zone. The two cross-cutting structures, which also appear to cut the eastern end of the Taipan Zone, are interpreted to have provided a pathway for mineralising fluids.

Analysis of individual elements, with relevant method, is Sb (ME–XRF05, ME–XRF15b on assays greater than 1% Sb, and ME_XRF-15c on assays greater than 20% Sb), Ag (ME-ICP61 and OG62 on assays greater than 100ppm Ag), Pb (ME-ICP61 and OG62 on assays greater than 1% Pb), Au (Au-AA23)

Figure 2: Dugite Zone (East) – Artemis & Historic Sampling Results and Mapping[6] (refer Fig 1)

The recent and historical sampling results have defined not only significant base metal (Sb & Pb) mineralisation but also significant zones of precious metal (gold and silver) mineralisation at numerous points along the Dugite Zone (Figure 3).

Dugite Zone precious metal results include (see Tables 1 and 2):

  • 220g/t Ag & 6.80g/t Au (EHG057 - historic result)

  • 110g/t Ag & 6.40g/t Au (EHG001 - historic result)

  • 200g/t Ag & 3.90g/t Au (EHG002 - historic result)

  • 44g/t Ag & 3.36g/t Au (238638 - Artemis result)

  • 1,500g/t Ag & 0.50g/t Au (EHG141 - historic result)

  • 1,335g/t Ag & 0.56g/t Au (238639 - Artemis result)

Mineralisation at the eastern end of the Dugite Zone is interpreted to be the result of a northwest-southeast fault zone cross-cutting the Dugite silica alteration zone roughly perpendicular to the strike of that zone. It would appear that this later stage cross-cutting fault zone provides the fluid pathway for the antimony-lead-silver-gold mineralisation seen at the Eastern Hills deposit. This model provides encouragement for further discoveries of mineralisation on both the Gwardar and Tiger Zones, which at this point have not been mapped or sampled to the same level of detail as the Dugite Zone.

Tiger Zone

The Tiger Zone is located 500 metres to the northeast of the Taipan Zone (Figure 1) and returned a high grade result of 5.0% Sb from the recent September 2013 sampling programme. Follow-up work during October detailed further encouraging mineralisation with 3.8% Sb and 1.6% Sb results obtained from this latest campaign (Table 1).

The Tiger Zone has a northeast orientation which, although different from the more central alteration zones, still shows evidence of a pathway for mineralisation along the fault structure. The Tiger Zone, with only limited mapping and sampling by Artemis to date (8 samples), will be a focus for follow-up mapping and rock chip sampling this month.

Gwardar Zone

The Gwardar Zone was recently identified[1] and lies to the north of the Dugite Zone (Figure 1) with an approximate strike length of 700m. No further mapping or sampling of this zone was undertaken during the recent sampling programme.

To date only one rock chip sample has been taken by Artemis from the Gwardar Zone and an encouraging result of 0.4g/t Au was recorded. A gold result of this level is encouraging as it suggests a potential link between the nearby Mt Clement gold deposit and the western end of the Eastern Hills mineralisation. More systematic mapping and sampling of the Gwardar Zone is currently being planned.

November Field Campaign

Following the encouragement of reconnaissance mapping and sampling to date, the Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger zones will now be subjected to a more detailed mapping and rock chip sampling programme with the objective of defining further targets outside of the Taipan Zone for drill testing to be undertaken in the 2014 field season. This campaign will be undertaken in November prior to the onset of the wet season, with results expected in the New Year.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of The Eastern Hills antimony-lead deposit is a
mineralisation. fault/vein hosted subvertical structure and
outcropping over a strike length of at least
800m. Recent drilling identified mineralisation to
at least 220m vertical depth. The deposit

remains open along strike to the east and at
depth.
Mineralisation occurs as massive sulphides
bounded by a broader zone of disseminated
sulphides. Sulphide mineralogy consists of
pyrite, boulangerite – a lead-antimony sulphide
– and arsenopyrite with minor pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite and galena.
The reconnaissance mapping that is the subject
of this report has confirmed three new alteration
zones (named Dugite, Gwardar & Tiger) which,
given the currently available information, appear
to be analogies of the Eastern Hills antimony-
lead deposit geology (termed the ‘Taipan’
Zone).
