High-Grade Gold and Copper Intercepts from the Carlow Crosscut Zone
Highlights
Exceptional results from step-out exploration drilling at Crosscut that is outside any previous resource shell.
Currently only half the Crosscut trend (~230m) has been tested with an additional ~225m of strike length to the South yet to be drilled. A potential parallel zone to the East is also yet to be tested. Both will be drilled as soon as possible in the new year.
Twelve RC holes were targeted to test the system near surface and at depth, with the better intersections being:
-
22m @ 2.23g/t Au, 1.39% Cu, 0.457% Co from 247m - ARC344
-
7m @ 5.23g/t Au, 0.74% Cu, 0.54% Co from 286m – ARC344
-
13m @ 5.95g/t Au, 5.00% Cu, 0.689% Co from 42m - ARC 338
-
Including 5m @ 8.31g/t Au, 8.10% Cu, 0.659% Co from 42m
-
10m @ 1.6g/t Au, 2.11% Cu, 0.34% Co from 16m - ARC338
-
4m @ 2.59g/t Au, 0.95% Cu, 0.02% Co from 80m - ARC338
-
7m @ 1.90g/t Au, 2.35% Cu, 0.009% Co from 126m - ARC342
-
2m @ 19.36g/t Au, 1.58% Cu, 0.05% Co from 243m - ARC342
-
5m @ 1.22g/t Au, 1.69% Cu, 0.024% Co from 47m - ARC340
-
5m @ 1.66g/t Au, 0.78% Cu, 0.015% Co from 57m - ARC340
-
3m @ 5.29g/t Au, 0.80% Cu, 0.185% Co from 111m - ARC340
A 40 further holes are still pending assays with drill planning to follow up these outstanding gold and copper results underway.

Artemis Resources Limited (“Artemis” or “the Company”) (ASX:ARV, Frankfurt: ATY, US OTCQB: ARTTF) is pleased to provide an update on assay results from the recent RC drilling programme targeting the Crosscut Zone at its 100%-owned Carlow Gold and Copper Project in the west Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Alastair Clayton, Executive Director commented : “This first batch of results from our 52 hole, ~14,000m RC drill programme presented today are from our step-out exploration at the Crosscut Zone. The intercepts presented above are clearly outstanding. We are particularly pleased with the very high tenor of Copper mineralisation encountered which suggests the Crosscut Zone is as much a high-grade Copper deposit as it is a Gold deposit.
Importantly all drilling from this programme lies outside any previous resource shell and the Crosscut Zone is open over a 225m strike length to the South where we think it intersects the Carlow main zone. Geophysics suggests a new parallel mineralised trend may exist to the East. We look forward to drill testing these first order targets in the New Year.
We have a large number of drill holes where assays are still pending. These include more holes at Crosscut, Quod Est and the recently discovered Western high-grade shoots. Furthermore, we drilled a number of holes several kilometres to the South of Carlow to try to discover entirely new deposits. We look forward to releasing these in the coming weeks.
We believe the previous geological model for Carlow had underestimated the true potential of the project. An updated model is now in place that reflects a better understanding of the geometry and structural development of the deposit. We expect to be in a position to release a new Mineral Resource estimate in H1 2022. We look forward in sharing the true potential of the Greater Carlow system of gold, copper and cobalt deposits.”

A total of 12 holes were drilled into the Crosscut Zone, along a designed local grid on circa. 40 x 40m spacing. Drilling in the Crosscut Zone had tested targets based on recent exploration structural interpretation and coincident geophysical information in the form of Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM). This is illustrated in Figure 2.
==> picture [404 x 213] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Crosscut Zone SAM survey and location of the drill collars that tested the eastern trend. Note the potential for repeated structures to the east.
It is important to note that although an interpretation has been completed, additional drilling will be required to properly assess the structures and mineralisation styles that occur at Crosscut. The structures can change downdip orientation. Diamond drilling is planned to test these structures. The system appears to be trending to the southeast and may intersect the Eastern Zone of the Carlow Main Trend. This is shown in Figure 3.
