David Lenigas, Artemis’s Chairman, commented;
“The Carlow Castle area holds significant potential for primary Cobalt mineralisation associated with high grades of Copper and Gold and a fast tracked RC drilling programme has been commissioned and is expected to commence within the week. This recent surface sampling programme around the many old shafts covering an area of about 3.5 km[2] returned individual grades up to 1.12% Cobalt, 8.2% Copper and 35.3 g/t Gold and clearly shows the cobalt potential in the area. We have a large 100% owned land package at Carlow Castle and the area remains relative unexplored for Cobalt, Copper and Gold. Cobalt is a key component in the growing EV and energy storage market. The Cobalt metal demand continues to remain strong at new recent highs of US$47,000 per tonne in recent days.”

Artemis Resources Limited (“ Artemis ” or “ the Company ”) ( ASX: ARVDA ) is pleased to report the assay results from the recently completed sampling programme over a small percentage of the surface mine shaft dumps, covering an area of about 3.5 km[2] , which has returned excellent cobalt, copper, gold grades along the numerous Carlow Castle mineralised trends near Karratha in Western Australia (Figure 4), with the best sample returning 1.12% Cobalt, 2.63% Copper and 6.79 grams/tonne Gold .
All surface samples from this recent programme are shown in Table 1. The location of these sample results is shown in Figure 2.
Importantly, this recent surface sampling programme has not only confirmed the presence of high grade cobalt, gold, copper mineralisation previously identified at the Quod Est mining area, but has found a new high priority exploration target some 300 metres east of Quod Est.
A first phase 3,000 metre Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme has been fast tracked and the drill rig is expected to arrive on site within the week.
This drilling programme is designed to test for the extensions of known cobalt mineralisation where previous drilling intersected rich sulphidic interval assaying 4 metres @ 33.6 g/t gold and 1.12% cobalt from 36 metres downhole in GC04; Drill hole DDH4 intersected 3.2 metres at 2.1% copper and 0.54% cobalt from 78m downhole (Figure 1); and drill hole CC04 intersected 6 metres at 0.53 g/t gold, 1.25% copper and 0.28% cobalt from 31 metres downhole depth (Figure 3).

The Carlow Castle Project is located only 10km South east of Roebourne in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia (Figure 3), and the tenor of mineralisation and large 32 km[2] 100% owned tenement makes the Carlow Castle Project a valuable asset for Artemis. Artemis also owns the surrounding tenements.
The cobalt mineralisation at Carlow Castle has been previously ignored as companies focused on the gold and/or copper mineralisation as single commodities. The review by Artemis shows that an integrated approach to mineralisation and an expansion of exploration is required to better define the Carlow Castle Project. Work to date highlights a potentially material asset that has remained under explored. The project has previously been the focus of gold and copper mining with production between 1880 and 1910. In more recent times drilling has identified a JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource (Figure 3) 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] .
The current gold copper resource also contains cobalt mineralisation, which has not been included in the resource estimation.

| Legend Mining NL between 1995 and 2008. | ||||
| | Work completed by Open Pit consisted of | |||
| geological mapping, geophysical surveying (IP), | ||||

| | Work completed by Legend Mining Ltd consisted | |||
| of geological mapping and further RC drilling. | ||||
| | Legend also completed an airborne ATEM | |||
| survey over the project area, with follow up | ||||
| ground-based FLTEM surveying. Re-processing | ||||

| completed RC drilling. | ||||
| | Compilation and assessment of historic drilling | |||
