  • Open Pit designs targeted for the end of April 2018.

  • Mining commencement targeted for June 2018.

  • Silica Hills Gold Project drilling has commenced

  • Whundo Copper/Zinc Mine drilling underway to expand current Mineral Resources. Resource estimate targeted for May 2018.

David Lenigas, Artemis’s Executive Chairman, commented;

“These are excellent shallow Ni/Cu/Co sulphide drilling grades from the unmined top of the Radio Hill ore body. Although our Radio Hill plant re-start strategy is initially aimed at gold production, open pit production from Radio Hill will be an important part of our short-term scheduling. We are aiming to have the Radio Hill open pit resourced, designed and ready for mining well in advance of mill re-commissioning around the middle of this year. The Radio Hill metallurgy is well understood, and the concentrates are a known product for the overseas smelters and Artemis believes that re-opening the Radio Hill mine is a sound low-risk start-up strategy, especially considering plant processing costs are currently estimated to be $32 - $42/t for sulphide base metals ores ($20/t - $22/t for gold ores) and today’s commodity prices of AUD 17,344[1] per tonne for nickel, AUD 8,876[1] per tonne for copper and AUD 101,910[1] per tonne for cobalt.

Artemis is working with AMC Consultants to have the Resources of all of its major assets classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), and to prioritise Scoping Studies which include mine scheduling on its Radio Hill Ni/Cu/Co, Whundo Cu/Zn, and Weeriana Au Projects, and Scoping Studies on Carlow Castle Co/Cu/Au.”

Artemis Resources Limited (‘ Artemis ’ or ‘ the Company ’) ( ASX: ARV ) is pleased to provide an update on its start-up strategy for its Radio Hill operations and on its drilling programmes at Radio Hill (Nickel/Copper/Cobalt), Ruth Well (Nickel/Copper/Cobalt), Silica Hills (Gold), Weeriana (Gold) and Whundo (Copper/Zinc) Projects all located within 35 km from Artemis’ Radio Hill base metals and gold processing plant.

Radio Hill Processing Plant Refurbishment and Upgrade Update:

Plant refurbishment and upgrades of the Radio Hill processing plant, located 25 km south of Karratha, are progressing as planned and are on schedule to be operational by the end of June 2018.

Artemis’ metallurgical consultants have estimated a processing cost of approximately $20/t - $22/t for gold ores and approximately $32t - $42/t for sulphide base metals ores.

Artemis is undertaking Scoping Studies on all of its major projects in the Karratha area, prioritising each project for potential plant feed based on each project’s economic merits.

The current thinking is to commence production on a gold-only strategy for the first few months, sourcing plant feed from either 47 Patch conglomerates and/or Silica Hills and Weeriana, to commission the new Gekko gold recovery circuit. Open pit sulphide base metals feed from Radio Hill (Ni/Cu/Co), Ruth Well (Ni/Cu/Co), Whundo (Cu/Zn) and Carlow Castle (Co/Cu/Au) will form the basis of a longer-term production strategy.

Artemis has completed an 80-hole RC drilling programme[2] at Radio Hill (totalling 7,052 m), designed to delineate the nickel/copper/cobalt mineralisation in the top 70 m of the Radio Hill orebody. Drilling results have arrived from the the lab and results to date are shown in Table 1. Hole locations are shown in Table 2.

The Radio Hill orebody comes to surface near the metallurgical Test Pit area (shown to the right of the RED circle in Figure 1), originally excavated by AGIP in 1985. This Test Pit was originally mined to evaluate the metallurgical characteristics of the Radio Hill Ni/Cu/Co sulphide ores to provide data for the design of the original milling circuit and on-site smelter complex which has been removed.

Partial drill hole results have started to arrive, with the best intercepts (>0.5% Ni) to date highlighted in Table 1. Hole coordinates of these drill holes are shown in Table 2.

Best intercepts received to date include:

  • ➢ 15m @ 2.05% Ni, 1.94% Cu, 0.09% Co from 27m (ARH066)

  • ➢ 7m @ 1.9% Ni, 1.07% Cu, 0.08% Co from 18m (ARH015)

  • ➢ 8m @ 1.14% Ni, 0.96% Cu, 0.06% Co from 75m (ARH007) ▪ within 17m @ 0.81% Ni, 0.83% Cu, 0.04% Co from 67m (ARH007)

  • ➢ 3m @ 1.24% Ni, 2.42% Cu, 0.07% Co from 123m (ARH019) ▪ within 26m @ 0.57% Ni, 0.92% Cu, 0.03% Co from 106m

  • ➢ 2m @2.93% Ni, 2.90% Cu, 0.12% Co from 19m (ARH020)

(Note: the intercepts are not truth width and are based on 1 metre samples. Refer to Table 2).

Ruth Well (Ni/Cu/Co) Project:

Ruth Well is located only 12 km north of the Radio Hill plant site, and contains excellent shallow nickel/copper/cobalt drilling grades. Best intercepts, as announced on 30 January 2018[4] , include:

  • 11 metres @ 4.3% nickel, 1.5% copper, 0.13% cobalt, from 55m (RWRC218) ➢ including 3 metres @ 13.1% nickel, 1.0% copper, 0.35% cobalt from 59m

  • 3 metres @ 6.0% nickel, 1.2% copper, 0.18% cobalt from 69m (RWRC230)

  • ➢ including 1 metre @ 13.8% nickel, 1.7% copper, 0.41% cobalt, from 70m

  • 4 metres @ 5.4% nickel, 3.0% copper, 0.17% cobalt from 79m (RWRC220)

  • ➢ including 1 metre @ 15.9% nickel, 6.7% copper, 0.49% cobalt from 81m

A detailed Sub Audio Magnetics (SAM) programme is currently being carried out by GAP Geophysics at Ruth Well. RC drilling is scheduled to commence before the end of March 2018 with the aim of expanding the strike and depth of the known mineralisation. Artemis is targeting to have a Mineral Resource reported and classified in compliance with the JORC Code (2012) completed by the end of April 2018, so that Ruth Well can be incorporated in to a Nickel/Copper/Cobalt production strategy in conjunction with the Radio Hill open pit.

Conglomerate Gold Projects:

Artemis is preparing to conduct an initial 4,500-tonne bulk sample from its 47 Patch gold-bearing conglomerates at the Radio Hill plant site[5] , using a contract crusher to crush everything to minus 5 mm and processing all the material through a temporary gold gravity plant. The key to this initial bulk sampling programme is to accurately determine the overall gold grade of the conglomerates from the 47 Patch bulk sample. The results of this initial trial will establish the parameters for further mining of the gold-bearing conglomerates as potentially the first plant feed for the upgraded Radio Hill plant in June.

Weeriana Gold Project:

Weeriana is on a granted Mining Lease and has a current Inferred Mineral Resource classified and reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012) of 1 Mt at 2.2 g/t Au for total contained metal of 70,000 ounces of Au[6] . The current resource outcrops at surface and remains open at depth and along strike.

Best drill intersections to date include:

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

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

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

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

An RC drilling programme is planned for Weeriana in April 2018 to infill drill the deposit and test for extensions of the mineralisation along strike and down dip.

Artemis are working with AMC to optimise the current Mineral Resource and run a Scoping Study and a preliminary open pit mining schedule. Artemis is targeting an updated Mineral Resource before the end of June 2018.

Note: In accordance with ASX 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 9 January 2017 announcement referred to above, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Silica Hills Gold Project:

Artemis have completed 72 x 12-metre-deep RAB holes at Silica Hills to delineate early feed tonnage for the Radio Hill plant. A further ~200 RAB holes are planned during March. Results will be reported when they become available.

A detailed SAM programme has been carried out at Silica Hills and the final interpretation from this programme is due to be submitted by the GAP Geophysics before the end of March 2018.

Carlow Castle Co/Cu/Au Project:

AMC is currently conducting optimisation studies of Carlow Castle’s new Indicated and Inferred Resources of 2.3 Mt @ 1.3 g/t Au, 0.11% Co, 0.5% Cu & 1.6 g/t Ag (at 0.05% Co cut- off grade) within a global resource of 4.5 Mt @ 0.9g/t Au, 0.07% Co, 0.4% Cu & 1.3 g/t Ag.[7] As part of this optimisation work, AMC are assisting with open pit designs and mining schedules. Diamond drilling will commence in March for further detailed geotechnical studies and metallurgical recovery test work. On completion of these studies, work will commence to convert the Carlow Castle tenements from Exploration Licences to Mining Leases and RC drilling will continue.

Note: In accordance with ASX 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 31 January 2018 announcement referred to above, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Whundo Copper/Zinc Mine:

A major technical review is underway with AMC on the Whundo Cu/Zn mine, to re-estimate a new Mineral Resource that will be classified and reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012). To add to the success of the RC drilling completed in 2017[8] , an RC drilling programme is now underway to increase the Mineral Resources. The updated Mineral Resource is targeted for May 2018. Pit optimisation and mine scheduling studies have commenced with AMC.

The current JORC 2004 resources are reported as 1,687,000 tonnes grading 1.1% Cu and 0.94% Zn.[9]

Note: 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 2 May 2017 and 16 December 2016 announcements referred to above, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimates in the 16 December 2016 announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Mr Mead has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Mead consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

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 ~500,000 tpa Radio Hill nickel, copper and cobalt mine and processing plant located 25km south of Karratha. JORC 2004 compliant resources of gold, nickel, copper, PGEs and zinc, all situated within a 40 km radius of the Radio Hill plant and on 1,838 km[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 mineralisation 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) Mineral Resources and Reserves reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012), or (ii) gold which is not within conglomerate and/or paleoplacer style mineralisation 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.
