GOLD – three new, large gold geochemical targets discovered:

  • Patterson’s Hut - rock chip samples in veins and gossanous chert up to 11.4 g/t gold across a 4.5 km long surface soil anomaly

  • Ruth Well North – rock chip samples up to 5.04 g/t gold across a 14 km long surface anomaly

  • Pipeline – soil geochemistry anomaly in association with numerous nuggets in shear zones across two 1.0 km long trends.

In addition, the Company has identified new extensions at the existing gold targets:

  • Silica Hills – new 1.5 km long gold in soil anomaly

  • Nickol River – strong gold geochemistry suggests additional primary targets may exist.

Artemis’ Executive Director Ed Mead commented:

“Karratha until recently has remained relatively unexplored for its gold potential. This area wide geochemical and rock chip survey indicates substantial gold prospectivity exists within Artemis’ extensive tenement package, all within a short trucking distance of our Radio Hill processing plant. The use of ionic geochemical analysis techniques in conjunction with traditional geochemical sampling has helped Artemis identify numerous new targets and projects such as Carlow Castle and Purdy’s Reward.”

REGIONAL GEOCHEMICAL PROGRAMME DEFINES 3 ENTIRELY NEW GOLD TARGETS

Artemis has undertaken a broad regional soil geochemistry sampling programme across the consolidated Artemis tenure on 400 metre spaced lines aligned north-south. Samples were taken 100m apart along these lines and a major multi-element suite of analyses were then conducted. A total of 12,247 samples have been collected.

Gold geochemistry responds strongly at Carlow Castle, Nickol River, Silica Hills, Pattersons Hut, Ruth Well North and Pipeline with the latter three areas being new discoveries.

All data presented in Figure 1 below has been domained based on the GSWA 1:100,000 geological mapping, then ratio-ed using the 25[th] Percentile of the data. Data was contoured using Surfer software using Inverse distance squared (ID2) and the search ellipse long axis orientated to 80[o] east of north, contouring/plotting colours are then based on the 99[th] , 97.5[th] , 95[th] , 90[th] and 75[th] percentiles of the ratio-ed values.

The specific purpose of this processing was to highlight the anomalous samples and to minimise the lithological effects/contents of the differing underlying geological sequences.

REGIONAL GOLD ENDOWMENT

Apart from the current high-profile conglomerate related gold occurrences at Purdy’s Reward – Comet Well, the West Pilbara has a long history of small-scale gold production predominantly from quartz vein related systems. Artemis noted the presence of shear zone hosted gold at Nickol River feeding the alluvial/eluvial systems in the area and the axial plane quartz-gold-arsenopyrite mineralisation at the Weerianna Au Project.

After consideration of this information with the multiple other known gold sources within the greenstones, geochemical exploration was initiated in the Carlow Castle area.

Based on the Carlow Castle success, sampling was subsequently expanded to cover virtually all Artemis’ tenure ( Figure 2 ).

All the main areas identified in the geochemistry show multi-element responses as summarized below:

Carlow Castle - Au, Ag, Co, Cu, Ni, Hg, Mo, Se, Te, Pd, Zn Patterson’s Hut - Au, Ag, As, Mo, Ni, Sb, Se, Te, W Ruth Well North - Au, Ag, Hg, Mo, Sb, W Pipeline - Au, Ag, As, Co, Mo, Se, Tl Silica Hills - Au, Ag, Bi, Mo, Sb Nickol River - Au, Ag, Hg, Mo, Se, Tl

Gold geochemistry responds strongly at Carlow Castle, Nickol River, Silica Hills, Pattersons Hut, Ruth Well North and Pipeline with the latter three areas previously unknown.

Patterson’s Hut Au Prospect

Patterson’s Hut is an entirely new area of gold in soil anomalism (to 68ppb Au) and mineralization. The soil geochemistry shows a continuous anomaly >95[th] percentile over 4.5km long with an additional 1.7km to the west after a small break ( Figure 1 ).

Geological mapping ( Figure 3 ) shows the area to be within a wide zone of sheared talcose and cherty schists with multiple strike parallel quartz veins, with rock chip sampling returning values up to 11.4 g/t Au. A discontinuous traverse of 20 rock chip samples over a width of 250m showed 9 samples with responses >1g/t Au to a maximum of 9.89 g/t Au.

Most samples were from quartz veins, but 3 samples were within gossanous chert, cherty gossan or chert with gossanous lenses which contained 1.41g/t, 1.32g/t and 2.41 g/t Au respectively (Appendix A). Interestingly many samples show a silver to gold ratio >10:1 possibly indicative of sulphide mineralisation.

Ruth Well North Au Prospect

Located to the north of the Ruth Well Ni-Cu mineralisation ( Figure 1 ), a discontinuous gold in soil anomaly to a maximum 146ppb Au is traceable for 14 km , apparently relating to a prominent chert ridge and outcrop. To date geological mapping and sampling has had limited success with one sample of a silicified laminated sediment containing 5.04g/t Au, the only sample of significance ( Appendix A ).

Historic Rotary Air blast (RAB) drilling 5.5km to the east of the main area along the siliceous laminated chert horizon ( Figure 4 ) contained 1 sample of 0.5g/t Au over 1m.

==> picture [522 x 209] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Ruth Well North Central Target with Gold in Soil Values and Significant Rock Chips

Pipeline

Located to the south east of Radio Hill ( Figure 1) , soil geochemistry and metal detected nuggets with a Minelab GPZ 7000 defined 2 parallel trends approximately 1km apart, which are coincident with aeromagnetic trends ( Figure 5) . The aeromagnetic trends are interpreted to represent shear zones along the southern contact of the small Yannery Granite intrusion.

Outcrop in the area is subdued with metal detected nuggets being small angular fragments near quartz vein outcrops or scree, and are interpreted to represent the shear zones.

Figure 5: Pipeline Target with Gold in Soil Values and Nugget locations on RTPFVD Aeromagnetic Imagery

Silica Hills Au Prospect

This area is well known locally for producing coarse nuggety gold from quartz veins ( Figure 1 ). The soil anomaly shows a zone 1.5km long (>95[th] percentile) with a maximum value of 370ppb Au with probable extensions to the northeast and southwest. The anomalous element suite of Mo and Bi is suggestive of intrusive relationships.

Initial reverse circulation and rotary air blast drilling have been negative so the source of the anomalism is yet to be identified.

Nickol River

The gold geochemistry is surprisingly strong over the Nickol River alluvial area (Figure 1) . This will be in part due to the extensive disturbance which has occurred in the area, but the geochemistry also suggests the known shear zones hosting primary mineralisation in the Samantha, Tozers and Boiler zones may be replicated elsewhere.

Historical drilling has been limited and only gold has been analysed from this drilling, hence making judgements about repetition or other mineralisation styles impossible until further assessment is undertaken.

Please refer to Appendix A for all significant rock chip sample results.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON ARTEMIS RESOURCES

Artemis Resources Limited is an exploration and development company focussed on its large (≈2,400 km[2] ) and prospective base, battery and precious metals assets in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Artemis owns 100% of the 500,000 tpa Radio Hill processing plant and infrastructure, located approximately 35 km south of the city of Karratha.

The Company is evaluating 2004 and 2012 JORC Code compliant resources of gold, nickel, copper-cobalt, PGE’s and zinc, all situated within a 40 km radius of the Radio Hill plant.

Artemis have signed Definitive Agreements with Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo”), which is listed on Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV:NVO), and pursuant to the Definitive Agreements, Novo has satisfied its expenditure commitment, and earned 50% of gold (and other minerals necessarily mined with gold) in conglomerate and/or paleoplacer style mineralization in Artemis’ tenements within 100 km 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 Code 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 36 tenements / tenement applications that are 100% owned by Artemis.

Pursuant to Novo’s successful earn-in, two 50:50 joint ventures have been formed between Novo’s subsidiary, Karratha Gold Pty Ltd (“Karratha Gold”) and two subsidiaries of Artemis (KML No 2 Pty Ltd and Fox Radio Hill Pty Ltd). The joint ventures are managed as one by Karratha Gold with Artemis and Novo contributing to further exploration and any mining of the Gold Rights on a 50:50 basis.
