  • Weerianna has a current JORC (2012) compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 1Mt at 2.2 g/t Au for total contained metal of 70,000 ounces of Au.

  • The current resource outcrops at surface and remains open at depth and along strike.

  • Best drill intersections to date include:

  • 45 metres @ 3.1 g/t Au from 28 metres, WRC133

  • 19 metres @ 4.05 g/t Au from 1 metres, WRC36

  • 16 metres @ 15.35 g/t Au from 15 metres, WRC116

  • 9 metres @ 21.5 g/t Au from 87 metres, WRC140

  • Extensive trenching programme commenced to test the core 600 metres gold mineralised zone over much wider widths of 250-400 metres.

  • Artemis believes that the trenching will support a second perpendicular orientation of gold mineralisation previously unidentified from drilling.

  • If this second orientation is validated, a significant drill programme will be required potentially significantly improving the economics of the deposit by increasing the ounces per vertical metre.

  • Weerianna is located only 35 km from the Radio Hill Plant, which Artemis has an option to acquire.

David Lenigas, Artemis’s Chairman, commented;

“Weerianna is a significant and under explored asset of the Company, close to excellent infrastructure and we believe there is considerable scope to rapidly increase the size of this gold deposit. This project could prove valuable as potential plant feed for the nearby Radio Hill plant, which Artemis has under option to acquire for $3.5 million.”

Artemis Resources Limited (“ Artemis ” or “ the Company ”) ( ASX: ARV ) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 1,975 metre trenching programme at its Weerianna Gold Project , located near Karratha in Western Australia, designed to increase the known 70,000 ounces of JORC complaint Inferred Resources.

The Weerianna Gold Project [M47/223] is 80% owned by Artemis and is located 25 km east of Karratha and 5 km west of Roebourne in Western Australia and adjacent to the Karratha – Roebourne highway (Figure 1). It is also conveniently located only 35 km by road from the Radio Hill Plant. The company has an exclusive option to buy the fully permitted AGIP 425,000 tpa Radio Hill nickel and copper operations, processing plant and associated mining and exploration tenements for a total consideration of $3.5 million[1] .

The Weerianna Gold Project hosts a JORC (2012) compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 1Mt at 2.2 g/t Au for total contained metal of 70,000 ounces of Au[2] . The current resource outcrops at surface and remains open at depth and along strike.

Best drill intersections exceeding 2 metres at 4 g/t gold to date at Weerianna refer to Table 1. These results are from between proposed trenches WT2 and WT3 in Figure 2.

metres, ranging from 250 metres to 450 metres in length, across the 1,200 metres of known strike length with priority being given to the first 3 trenches totalling 875 metres, the core 600 metres of strike.

This trenching programme is looking to advance the inferred resource to a higher JORC category and to refine the geological model, by looking at structural controls on gold mineralisation near surface. This can then be extrapolated through the gold deposit.

Gold mineralisation at Weerianna outcrops at surface and is associated with quartz veining within chlorite-serpentinite schists, with variable degrees of silicification and carbonate alteration. Previous drilling has only focused on one orientation and a new interpretation of the geological model has indicated that two orientations to gold mineralisation are potentially present. The one orientation of gold mineralisation being drilled forms the basis of the 70,000 oz gold resource.

Artemis believes that the trenching will support the second perpendicular orientation of gold mineralisation. If this second orientation is validated, a significant drill programme will be required and this will significantly improve the economics of the deposit by increasing the ounces per vertical metre.

The contractors commenced work on the 9 January 2017 with initial results expected within the next few weeks.
