Highlights

  • $10.0 million institutional placement completed to underpin growth plans at the Carlow Castle and Paterson Central Gold-Copper Projects

  • Placement demand strongly supported by Australian and European institutional investors

  • The issue price of $0.10 per share represents a 7% discount to the 5- day VWAP and a 4% premium to the last traded ASX price.

  • Funds will allow for a rolling multi-rig resource expansion and definition drilling campaign at the Carlow Au-Cu-Co Project for the remainder of 2021. The Company’s aim is to substantially increase the current gold and copper resources¹ as well as targeting additional regional exploration.

  • The Company expects to update the market in the coming weeks regarding a renewed resource estimate at Carlow Castle as part of “Project One Million” launched in 2020.

  • Funding also to be applied to an extensive 2021 diamond drilling campaign at the Company’s 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. Key targets include the Apollo, Atlas, Juno, Voyager and Enterprise prospects, most within ~3km of Haverion,

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.

I believe the strength of interest and pricing of the capital raise announced today is a direct reflection of the quality of our Greater Carlow Au-Cu-Co and Paterson Central Au-Cu Projects.

At Carlow Castle we currently have two rigs operating and these new funds will allow us to pursue an accelerated expanded resource step out, definition and regional exploration drilling across the Greater Carlow area.

We are looking forward to updating the market with resource updates at Carlow Castle in the near term and remain confident on potentially expanding the scope of “Project One Million” by the end of the year.

At Paterson Central we have a truly exceptional exploration opportunity in one of the world’s most exciting new gold-copper frontiers, adjacent to and surrounding on three sides, the world-class Havieron gold and copper discovery now under construction in close proximity to our priority targets.”

CAPITAL RAISING

Artemis has received binding commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to raise gross proceeds of A$10 million, through the issue of 100 million shares at 10 cents per share (A$0.10), representing a 4% premium to the last trading price of 9.6c (A$0.096) cents.
