ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

26 June 2014

PARTIALLY UNDERWRITTEN RIGHTS ISSUE TO RAISE UP TO $1.27M

  • Rights issue to raise up to $1.27 million (before costs) to primarily fund exploration of West Pilbara project

  • One new share for every 2 shares held priced at $0.003 per share plus free option (one for four) at $0.003 expiry 31 July 2016

  • Participating shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in any shortfall

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX: ARV) (“the Company”, “Artemis”) is pleased to announce a pro rata nonrenounceable rights issue (“Rights Issue”) of up to 425,798,911 new shares on the basis of one (1) new shares for every two (2) shares held by eligible shareholders on 8 July 2014 (“Record Date”), at an issue price of $0.003 per share with one (1) free attaching option (exercisable at $0.003 on or before 31 July 2016) for every four (4) new shares issued, to raise up to approximately A$1.27 million (before costs).

The Rights Issue is partially underwritten by Armengael Investments Limited for up to $543,000, on terms customary for a transaction of this nature.

Funds raised from the Rights Issue are intended to be used to further develop the Company’s West Pilbara project and to provide operational funds for the next 12 months.

Pro-Rata Non-Renounceable Rights Issue

The Rights Issue offer price is $0.003 per share. Shareholders on the Record Date with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand will be entitled to participate. Eligible shareholders may also apply for shortfall, with any shortfall first issued to shareholders who do not have a marketable parcel to allow them to achieve a marketable parcel, thus making their shares tradable and then to applying shareholders in priority to the underwriter.

Further information on the Rights Issue (including the timetable) will be set out in a prospectus for the Rights Issue, which Artemis intends to lodge with ASIC and ASX on or around 1 July 2014.

WEST PILBARA PROJECT

The Company has been restricted from undertaking the next stage of exploration, drilling, on the West Pilbara tenements pending the signing of a Native Title Agreement with the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation (NAC). The Company has now finalised this agreement subject to the sign off by the NAC Board which is expected shortly.

The recent acquisition of the Weerianna project now gives the Company the opportunity for cost effective exploration and development on the enlarged West Pilbara portfolio. As indicated in the ASX announcement dated 26 June 2014 “Acquisition of Gold Deposit to Kickstart West Pilbara Gold and Base Metals Exploration”
