ASX Announcement 11 February 2016
Copper hits of up to 4.6% confirm electro‐magnetic anomalies at Carlow Castle project in WA are mineralised
Highlights
-
Copper and gold mineralisation intersected at Good Luck and Little Fortune prospects at the Carlow Castle project in the Pilbara
-
Results include 9m at 2.7% copper from 67m, 1m at 4.6% copper from 33m and 3m at 2.16% copper from 160m
-
Further electro‐magnetic surveys and drilling are warranted to expand the mineralised prospects
Artemis Resources Limited (ASX: ARV) is pleased to announce highly promising assay results from the first five Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes at the Little Fortune and Goodluck prospects (Figure 1) at the Carlow Castle project in the West Pilbara region of WA.
The drilling at both Little Fortune (Figure 2) and Goodluck (Figure 3) has returned sulphide mineralised intercepts of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite from the electromagnetic anomaly target zone. Associated with the sulphide mineralisation are variable grades of copper, gold and silver (refer Table 1 and 2), as seen below:
-
9m @ 2.7% Cu, 16.3 g/t Ag, from 67m in LFRC002
-
3m @ 2.16% Cu, 1.22 g/t Au, 16.1 g/t Ag, from 160m in LFRC001
-
1m @ 4.6% Cu, 2.2 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, from 33m in LFRC003
-
1m @ 3.4 g/t Au from 32m in LFRC004
-
4m @ 0.42% Cu from 103m in GLRC001
Based on the results from phase 1 RC drilling, Artemis will now be able to expand Fixed Loop EM (FLTEM) surveys targeting copper and gold.
Historic mine workings at Little Fortune are 600m in length (strike) and shallow. The Little Fortune assay results provide information which will allow step out holes along strike and down dip to expand on the LFRC002 result.
Downhole EM (DHEM) is the next exploration step to assist Artemis in designing further exploration drilling.
The Carlow Castle Project is 10km south‐west of Roebourne and currently hosts a JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource of 418,000 tonnes at 3.0 g/t Au and 0.6% Cu , for total contained metal of 40,000 ounces of Au and 2,500 tonnes of Cu[1] . Potential exists to increase this resource with a number of structures identified with shafts and recent prospector activity that have never been drilled. The Little Fortune Prospect 2km to the south could add to this resource.
In accordance with Listing Rule 5.23.2, Artemis confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcement referred to above, and that in the case of mineral resources that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the announcement referred to continue to apply and have not materially changed.

reading. Collar locations are considered to be accurate to within 5m. Collars will be picked up by DGPS if warranted in the future. Downhole surveys were captured at 50 metre intervals for the drillholes completed by Artemis. The grid system used for all Artemis drilling is GDA94 (MGA 94 Zone 50) Topographic control is obtained from surface profiles created by drillhole collar data. Historic Legend Mining NL collar locations were reported on the AMG66 coordinate system. Artemis has converted these locations to MGA94 using GIS software (Mapinfo Coordinate Converter) before validating the data against recent GPS pick-ups of historic collar locations and historic drill plans. Legend drillhole locations are considered to be accurate to within +/- 5m. Open Pit Mining Limited collar locations were reported using local grid co-ordinates. These local grid co-ordinates were converted to MGA94 through registration of drill plans provided in historic reports, within GIS software (MapInfo). A limited number of these collar locations have been validated by recent GPS pick-ups of remnant historic collars on site. This validation has indicated that the registered collar locations are accurate to within +/- 5m. No information regarding downhole surveys has been identified for the Open Pit or Legend drilling. |
| Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Current drillhole spacing is variable and dependent on specific geological, and geophysical targets, and access requirements for each drillhole. No sample compositing has been used for drilling completed by Artemis. All results reported are the result of 1 metre downhole sample intervals. The historic drilling completed by Open Pit Mining and Legend Mining was non-systematic, and at a variable spacing. Drillholes were located along known mineralized zones, and often targeted below historic workings. Open Pit Mining reported all results as 2 metre composites. No details of the methodology used for this compositing is available. Open pit assayed for Au only, with no analysis for Cu completed despite geological logging identifying substantial chalcopyrite over localised intervals. Legend Mining reported all assay results as single metre down-hole intervals. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Drillholes were located in order to intersect the target at an angle perpendicular to strike direction. As the target structures were considered to be steep to moderately dipping, all Artemis drillholes |
