Artemis Completes acquisition of Elysian and Hard Rock Tenements next to Comet Well and Radio Hill -Karratha, Western Australia-

David Lenigas, Artemis’s Executive Chairman Commented; “Some of these tenements have exceptional exploration potential for gold bearing conglomerate rocks along strike from our Purdy’s Reward Project and Novo’s Comet Well and Rob’s Patch discoveries. We will now fast track “wrapping” these tenements into Artemis’s existing Native Title Agreements, so that we can get the Exploration Licence Applications (“ELAs”) approved in short order. We would expect that these ELAs could be approved by the end of the year, making way for an aggressive exploration programme. This ground is also key to Artemis as it encompasses a lot of under explored and highly prospective ground around our 100% owned Radio Hill nickel/copper/cobalt mine.”

As announced on 10 November 2017, Artemis Resources Limited (“ Artemis ” or “the Company ”) ( ASX: ARV ) entered into a binding agreement with Sorrento Resources Pty Ltd (Sorrento), Elysian Resources Pty Ltd (Elysian), Hard Rock Resources Pty Ltd (Hard Rock), Hamersley Gold Pty Ltd (Hamersley), and ACN 622 635 483 Pty Limited (ACN Co) (together the Parties) (Agreement), whereby Artemis is to acquire: 100% of the issued capital of Elysian and Hard Rock; and a 70% interest in exploration licence application 47/3487 from Sorrento (Tenement Acquisition). Each of the abovementioned parties are unrelated to Artemis. Elysian and Hard Rock are the holders of the following exploration licences and mining tenement applications:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON ARTEMIS RESOURCES:

Artemis Resources Limited is a resources exploration and development company with a focus on its prospective Karratha (gold, cobalt, base metals, platinum group elements and iron ore) and the Mt Clement Paulsens (gold) project in Western Australia.

Artemis owns the fully permitted ~500,000tpa Radio Hill nickel and copper operations and processing plant located 25km south of Karratha. JORC 2004 compliant resources of Gold, Nickel, Copper PGE's and Zinc, all situated within a 40km radius of the Radio Hill plant and on 1,838km[2] form the newly consolidated assets of Artemis Resources.

Artemis has signed Definitive Agreements with Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo”), and pursuant to the Definitive Agreements, Novo has satisfied its expenditure commitment, and earned-in to 50% of gold (and other minerals necessarily mined with gold) in conglomerate and/or paleoplacer style mineralization in Artemis’ tenements within 100km of the City of Karratha, including at Purdy’s Reward (“the Gold Rights”). The Gold Rights do not include (i) gold disclosed in Artemis’ existing (at 18 May 2017) JORC compliant Resources and Reserves or (ii) gold which is not within conglomerate and/or paleoplacer style mineralization or (iii) minerals other than gold. Artemis’ Mt Oscar tenement is excluded from the Definitive Agreements.

The Definitive Agreements cover 38 tenements / tenement applications that are 100% owned by Artemis. Pursuant to Novo’s successful earn-in, three 50:50 joint ventures have been formed between Novo’s subsidiary, Karratha Gold Pty Ltd (“Karratha Gold”) and three subsidiaries of Artemis (KML No 2 Pty Ltd, Fox Radio Hill Pty Ltd, and Armada Mining Pty Ltd). The joint ventures are managed as one by Karratha Gold. Artemis and Novo will contribute to further exploration and any mining of the Gold Rights on a 50:50 basis. Further definitive agreements covering approximately 19 Artemis tenements/tenement applications that are already subject to third party interests are expected to be signed once all necessary third-party consents have been obtained.
