  • Company now has >A$10m in cash to be applied to an ~8,000m 2021 diamond drilling campaign at the Paterson Central gold and copper project, adjacent to the Newcrest (NCM:ASX)/Greatland Gold (GGP:AIM) world-class Havieron discovery and development in Western Australia.

Artemis Executive Director Alastair Clayton commented;

“The Company is delighted with the strong support for the Placement, and we are pleased to welcome a number of prominent new institutions to the Artemis register, and thank our existing shareholders for their continued support in this capital raising.

“With Paterson Central, I cannot think of another gold/copper exploration play in Australia that can provide the amount of potential leverage to success for its shareholders. Artemis’ 100% owned Paterson Central project surrounds on three sides and is interpreted by Company geologists to be regionally along strike from the world-class discovery at Havieron that is now under development by a Newcrest Mining Limited led JV. The discoverer of Havieron and now minority partner, Greatland Gold PLC (40%) has been propelled to a ~A$1.5b market capitalisation on the back of continued drill success.

“At the Paterson Central project, we have a significant number of drill-ready targets, that with a single successful hole have the ability to transform the outlook of the Company. Our team is applying every resource required to achieve final ground-based heritage clearances to allow for drilling to start in the shortest possible time. We will update the market as these final approvals are met. Upon programme commencement, we will drill for the entire remainder of 2021, and as of today, we are completely funded to do so and more.

“At Carlow Castle, with mineralisation open in many directions, exploration has barely begun to scratch the surface of the potential. As such and despite recent preliminary resource data* being disappointing we still view Carlow Castle as very much a first order project. We look forward to the next round of assays from already completed April-May Diamond and RC drilling and eagerly anticipate hitting the ground with an extensive exploration drill programme in the near future.”

CAPITAL RAISING

Artemis has received binding commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to raise gross proceeds of A$7.0 million, through the issue of 116.7 million shares at 6 cents per share (A$0.06). The Company will issue the shares out of its existing LR7.1 capacity.

Settlement of the Placement is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, 9 June 2021, with the issue and trading of new shares expected to commence on Thursday, 10 June 2021.

This announcement was approved for release by the Board.
