3. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to offer you an opportunity to participate in this Rights Issue to acquire New Shares in Artemis on the basis of two (2) New Shares for every five (5) Shares held at the Record Date.

The Offer extends to all Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to acquire, proportionately to their shareholding, Shares at a discount to the market. Eligible Shareholders can also apply for Additional Securities over and above their entitlement. The issue price is $0.006, a discount of 40% to the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price of $0.01.

Shareholders who participate in the Rights Issue will also receive 1 new free attaching 2014 ShortDated Option and 1 new free attaching 2016 Long-Dated Option for every 2 New Shares subscribed for under the Rights Issue.

The Offer is renounceable. This means that you will be able to trade your rights to these Shares, as more fully outlined in this Prospectus. Details of the Offer and investment considerations relating to the Offer are set out in the Prospectus. I recommend that you read this document carefully.

The Rights Issue is partly underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited up to $730,000.

Artemis has the support of Patersons, one of Australia's largest broking firms, and its major shareholder and two of its Directors, who have indicated their participation as sub-underwriters. This is an acknowledgment and recognition of the confidence in the management and technical team and the Company’s projects.

As recently announced, Artemis has recently been successful in its application for co-funding support of up to $140,000 from the West Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (Round 7) for the upcoming drilling programme at the Eastern Hills antimony project. This Offer is to fund the programme that aims to upgrade the exploration target (ranging from 410,000 to 1,250,000 tonnes at a grade range of 1.5-1.9% antimony and 2.1-2.7% lead)[1] to a JORC compliant resource and to progress further to a scoping study.

The funds to be raised through this issue we believe will enable the Company to undertake work that will add to shareholder value, to be executed by a strengthened technical team with the ability to deliver results.

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

Yours sincerely,

==> picture [107 x 78] intentionally omitted <==

Guy Robertson Executive Director

1 This is an exploration target only, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has so far been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource in compliance with the JORC Code and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource as defined by the JORC Code. The Eastern Hills exploration target was announced to the ASX on the 16[th] and 18[th] January 2013.

6. Risks

An investment in the securities the subject of this Prospectus is highly speculative as the Company is an antimony, gold and base metals explorer.

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 specific and general risks associated with an investment in Artemis. Prior to accepting their Entitlements, Applicants should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus.

Specific Risks

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 exploration and 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' 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 programmes 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 [115 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 14

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 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.

6.4 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.

6.5 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.

6.6 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.

6.7 Title risk

Under the mining and exploration tenements 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 tenements by the government of Western Australia. Failure to meet these expenditure commitments will render licences liable to be forfeited unless a total or partial exemption is granted.

In Western Australia, unrelated third parties may seek forfeiture of a tenement for noncompliance with expenditure conditions. Application for forfeiture has been lodged by a third party on E47/1797 and E47/1746, two of the Company’s exploration licences in the West Pilbara. The Directors believe that the Company has fully complied with expenditure conditions with respect to E47/1797 and that valid grounds exist for the exemption from expenditure conditions with respect to E47/1746. However, there remains a risk that one or both of the forfeiture applications might be successful which could result in the tenements being forfeited or a fine (of a maximum of $10,000 per tenement) being imposed in lieu of forfeiture.

Certain mining tenements are in application status and others are subject to applications for renewal or extension of their terms. There is no guarantee that such applications will be granted.

6.8 Joint Venture

The Company is currently, and may become in the future, a party to joint venture agreements governing the exploration and development of its projects. There is a risk that one of the Company’s joint venture partners may suffer financial failure or may not act in the best interests of the joint venture. This may have an adverse effect on the interests and prospects of the Company.

6.9 Application risk

The Company and its subsidiaries have submitted applications for 22 exploration and prospecting licences in the Company’s Yandal project, as well as applications for a further 5 exploration licences in the Company’s Mundong Well project. Whilst the Company is not aware of any reason why these applications will not be granted, the grant involves the exercise of administrative functions which are beyond the control of the Company.

General Investment Risks

6.10 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. All of the Company’s projects are located in Australia.

6.11 General economic risks and business climate

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

  • (1) general economic outlook;

  • (2) taxation;

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

  • (4) currency fluctuations;

  • (5) commodity price movements;

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

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

7. Details of the Offer

7.1 Entitlement

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus shows your Entitlement to New Shares 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 Shares is based on the number of Shares registered in your name on the Record Date.

The Company will also issue you with 1 free attaching new 2014 Short-Dated Option and 1 free attaching new 2016 Long-Dated Option for every 2 New Shares issued to you under the Offer.

You may subscribe for all or part of your Entitlement to New Shares prior to the Closing Date by completing the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Alternatively, if you are paying by BPAY®, refer to your personalised instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

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 offer to acquire the number of New Shares specified in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or indicated by the amount of the BPAY® payment.

Your Rights may be valuable. If you decide to take up all or part of your Entitlement you must do so by 7.00 pm (AEST) on 23 August 2013. If you wish to sell all of your Entitlement on the ASX you must deal with your Entitlement by close of trading on the ASX on 16 August 2013, when Rights trading ceases. All or part of your Entitlement not accepted or dealt with may be taken up by other Eligible Shareholders or placed with other investors and you will receive no benefit. It is therefore important that you consider whether to take action either to take up or deal with your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out below, or allow them to lapse.

7.3 Additional Securities

The Lead Manager, in consultation with the Directors, reserves the right to place any Entitlement not applied for at its discretion.

Any Entitlements not taken up may become available as “Additional Securities”. Additional Securities may be issued to Eligible Shareholders who apply for more than their Entitlement.

==> picture [115 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors do not guarantee that in the event Additional Securities are available for issue, they will be allocated to all or any of the Eligible Shareholders who have applied for them. The Lead Manager, in consultation with the Directors, in its absolute and sole discretion, will determine the Eligible Shareholders to whom the Additional Securities will be allocated and the amount of those allocations, if any.

If Applications for any Additional Securities 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.

The Offer is partially underwritten by Patersons and any Entitlements and Additional Securities not taken up will become Shortfall Securities and be dealt with in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement as set out in section 7.13.

7.4 Rights Trading

Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue are renounceable. This enables Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe for some or all of the New Shares under this Rights Issue to sell their respective Rights and also enables investors to purchase additional Rights if they wish.

7.6 Payment

Application moneys for the New Shares are payable in full by payment of $0.006 per New Share. Please do not forward cash. Cheques should be made payable to “Artemis Resources Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with the accompanying cheque, must reach the Share Registry no later than 7.00 pm (AEST) on 23 August 2013 or such later date as the Directors may determine (subject to ASX Listing Rules). The Company will not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays.

If paying via BPAY®, Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment and it is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that funds are submitted through BPAY® by the date and time mentioned above. If you elect to pay via BPAY®, you must following the instructions for BPAY® set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

7.7 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 7.00 pm (AEST) 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 Shares (or additional New Shares, 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 Shares indicated by the amount of the BPAY® payment.

7.8 Allotment

New Shares and Attaching 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 Securities 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 Shares and Attaching 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 Shares and Attaching Options allotted to them prior to trading in the New Shares and Attaching Options. Applicants who sell New Shares or Attaching Options before they receive notification of the number of securities allotted to them do so at their own risk. The Company disclaims all

21 ׀Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus

liability, whether in tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, to persons who trade New Shares or Attaching Options before receiving notification of the number of securities allotted to them.

7.9 Excluded Shareholders

Only Eligible Shareholders registered as holders of Shares at 7.00 pm (AEST) 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.

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 any country relevant to their application.

7.10 Rights attaching to New Shares

New Shares will be fully paid on issue and will rank equally with existing Shares.

Detailed rights of the New Shares and terms of the Attaching Options are set out in Section 8 of this Prospectus.

7.11 ASX listing

Application will be made on the date of this Prospectus for the New Shares offered under this Prospectus to be granted official quotation by ASX. If the New Shares 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 Shares and Attaching Options will be void. The Company will return all application monies received without interest.

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

7.12 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give potential Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Shares and Attaching 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. Applicants

==> picture [115 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus ׀ 22

should, therefore, consult their own professional tax advisers to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances.

7.13 Underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements

(a) The Underwriter

The Underwriter is appointed under the Underwriting Agreement to underwrite the Rights Issue up to the Underwritten Amount. The Underwriter is not a related party or a Shareholder of the Company.

In the event of a Shortfall, the Directors are not aware of any reason why the Underwriter would not be in a position to meet its financial obligations to subscribe for the Shortfall in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

(b) The Underwriting Agreement

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter is obliged to subscribe for all of the Shortfall Securities within 5 business days of receiving notice from us as to the number of Shortfall Securities. The maximum number of Shortfall Securities that the Underwriter is required to subscribe for is 121,666,667 Shares representing the Underwritten Amount.

Artemis is also required to reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable outof-pocket expenses.

Under the Underwriting Agreement Artemis is required to make the Offer in accordance with all relevant regulatory requirements and Artemis has given various representations and warranties to the Underwriter, which are customary for an agreement of this nature.

As is normal for underwriting agreements of this nature, the Underwriter has a wide discretion to terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement on the occurrence of a number of events outside its control or discretion, which may occur before the issue of Shortfall Securities. The more significant termination events are if the S&P/ASX 200 Index or the S&P/ASX 300 Metals and Mining Index falls to a level that is 10% or more than the level at the close of business on the business day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the Shares of the Company finish trading for a trading day with a closing price that is less than this Offer price of $0.006 and where an adverse change occurs in respect of the Company or its assets which (in the Underwriter’s reasonable opinion, acting in good faith) has a material adverse effect or could give rise to a liability under the Corporations Act or otherwise. The failure of any sub-underwriters to perform their obligations will not relieve the Underwriter of its obligations.

==> picture [115 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

23 ׀Artemis Resources Limited • Prospectus

(c) Fees payable to Underwriter

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company will pay Patersons a management fee of 1.5% on the total amount raised in the Rights Issue, an underwriting fee of 4.5% of the Underwritten Amount, a shortfall placement fee of 6% of the amount raised by placement of the Shortfall Securities plus a corporate advisory fee of $30,000, totaling up to approximately $95,000.

8. Additional Information

8.1 Rights Attaching to New Shares

New Shares issued under this Offer will rank equally with and have the same rights and liabilities as the existing Shares.

A summary of the rights attaching to all Shares is set out below. This summary does not purport to be exhaustive or constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of holders of Shares. Full details 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.

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

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) Shareholder liability

As the Shares being offered under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(h) 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.
