Directors’ Report

The Directors of Artemis Resources Limited submit herewith the financial report of Artemis Resources Limited (“Artemis” or “Company”) and its subsidiaries (referred to hereafter as the “Group”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2020. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

The names of the directors of the company during or since the end of the half-year are:

Mark Potter Non-Executive Chairman
Alastair Clayton Executive Director
Boyd Timler Executive Director (Appointed Non-Executive Director 1
October 2020, and Executive Director from 1 February
2021)
Edward Mead Non-Executive Director (Non-Executive Director from 8

Daniel Smith Non-Executive Director

Review of operations

The Group’s focus for the half year was its two core projects, Carlow Castle (Gold-Copper-Cobalt) and the Paterson Central Gold project.

Carlow Castle Au-Cu-Co Project[1]

The Carlow Castle drilling programmes during the half year have produced outstanding results which should reflect in a resource update expected in the first half of 2021.

The 10 hole 3,561m Carlow Castle Diamond Drilling programme aims were to:

  • Expand the mineralised envelope which remains open in multiple directions.

  • Test the depth potential below the main mineral trend of Carlow Castle

  • Provide diamond core data to best understand the structure controls of Carlow Castle so future drilling programmes can expand and improve confidence to the MRE

The 63 hole 7,552m Reverse Circulation drilling programme aims were to:

  • Complete further step-out drilling on known mineralized trends and extensional drilling on geological indicators.

  • Test potential anomalies identified by historical and new IP surveying.

The Geophysics programme was deferred to the new year and will include dipole-dipole IP, Gradient array IP and high-resolution airborne magnetics and radiometrics.

A ~10,000m follow-up RC drill programme commenced in January 2021 and will be completed in Q1 the first quarter of 2021.

The drilling programmes extended the resource area and identified a number of new discovery zones.

  • 44m @ 2.00g/t Au , 0.71% Cu , 0.15% Co from 132m in ARC253; and

  • 5m @ 2.40g/t Au , 0.63% Cu , 0.09% Co from 82m in ARC252.

New Northern Discovery Zone - Shallow reconnaissance RC holes ~250m north of the Resource Area:

  • 11m @ 4.24g/t Au , 1.58% Cu from 71m in ARC233; and

  • 6m @ 1.33g/t Au, 0.93% Cu, 0.08 % Co from 102m (to EOH) in ARC234.

New deep “Feeder Zone” discovery – deep diamond hole 20CCAD003:

  • 4m @ 11.1g/t Au , 2.0% Cu , 0.18% Co from 639m.

First Resource Area infill diamond holes 20CCAD002 & -004:

  • 53m @ 2.98g/t Au , 0.85% Cu , 0.25% Co from 120m in 20CCAD004, including;

  • 14m @ 4.92g/t Au , 0.14% Cu from 120m,

  • 8m @ 7.34g/t Au , 1.03% Cu from 144m, including

  • 2m @ 17.93g/t Au , 2.36% Cu from 147m, and

  • 19m @ 1.59g/t Au , 1.06% Cu , 0.15% Co from 155m.

  • 75m @ 1.15g/t Au , 0.36% Cu, 0.05% Co from 56m in 20CCAD002, including;

  • 5m @ 1.86g/t Au, 0.43% Cu, 0.1% Co from 69m; and.

  • 7m @ 1.49g/t Au, 0.70% Cu, 0.22% Co form 84m.

Shallow Reconnaissance RC holes ~100m east of Resource Area:

  • 1m @ 1.57g/t Au, 0.01% Cu from 75m in ARC244; and

  • 1m @ 7.43g/t Au , 0.04% Cu from 113m in ARC244.

As shown above, step out drilling to grow the Carlow Castle resource has produced excellent grades over some very large widths. Infill diamond core and structural drilling supports future resource upgrades, highlighting the impressive characteristics of the gold, copper and cobalt mineralisation at Carlow Castle. Drilling has discovered a totally new zone of shallow, high grade gold and copper mineralisation located approximately 250m to the north of the Carlow Castle Resource Area ( Figure 1 ). This new Northern Discovery Zone is one of the key growth target areas being followed up as part of a 10,000m RC drill programme that started in early January 2021.

Carlow Castle Geophysics Program

Resource Potentials has proposed that an induced polarisation (IP) survey be carried out over the Carlow Castle resource area and surrounds, as well as high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric (AMAG) surveying over the majority of tenement E47/1797 ( Figure 5 ), which contains Carlow Castle and surrounding prospective geological target areas, to assist with subsurface geological interpretation, target generation and direct drill planning.

This work was planned in Q4 calendar 2020 but has been carried over to Q1 calendar 2021.

Paterson Central Au-Cu Project[2]

  • First Artemis drilling campaign completed at Paterson Central Project located next to the Newcrest Mining / Greatland Gold Havieron gold deposit in the Paterson Province, WA.

  • Three deep diamond holes were drilled only 2.5km to the east of Havieron in the Nimitz Prospect area for a total of 3,012m, with 1,151m drilled into Proterozoic bedrock of the Lamil Group, which is the host rock to the Havieron and Telfer gold deposits.

  • Despite being only the 5[th] ranked target, Nimitz was selected because of ease of access via the existing Havieron track that transects the Havieron Project area.

  • A total of 71 grab sample intervals of core from 1,151m of basement drilled were recovered as each hole was underway and transported in field crew shift change flight luggage for immediate assaying and petrological analysis based on visual estimates of representative lithologies, intense alteration and brecciation. Assay results received post period end included:

  • Hole GDRCD003 sample 89042: 0.79g/t Au, 476ppm Cu, 59.5ppm Bi and 2.56ppm Te . A 5cm quartz-carbonate vein hosted in dolerite from 829m.

  • Hole GDRCD002 samples 89015 & 89016: 0.26g/t Au, 1,565ppm Cu, 45.5ppm Bi and 4.26ppm Te. An 11cm quartz-carbonate vein calcarenite sandstone from 614m.

  • Core intervals above and below (+/- 40m) meaningful Au-Cu anomalism identified in any grab samples will then be cut and sampled at 1m intervals and sent for assay analysis.

  • Overall drilling has provided core samples which provide visual indications that highly altered and brecciated rocks in the Nimitz prospect area have potential to host gold and copper mineralisation and provide vectors to a more intensely mineralised system. Core samples from Nimitz have been forwarded to the laboratory, ALS.

  • Two drillholes (GDRCD001 and GDRCD003) testing Lamil Group rocks in the west (Nimitz South) returned multiple zones of particularly intense hydrothermal alteration, with breccias flooded by carbonate-sericite and quartz-carbonate-chlorite veining, all associated with hematite and trace to minor pyrite and chalcopyrite minerals.

  • As all three holes drilled encountered intervals of intense hydrothermal alteration of upper Lamil Group rocks in close proximity to the Havieron deposit, the Company believes that the Paterson Central licence is very fertile and prospective for large intrusive related gold and copper deposits surrounding Havieron.

  • Given these highly encouraging preliminary drilling observations, the Company is now planning an expanded 2021 multi-rig drill programme to cover the top priority Apollo and Atlas targets, followup drilling at the Nimitz group of targets, and to test the Enterprise targets to the South.

The Company has identified 7 initial targets/prospects for deep drill testing at Paterson Central, with 5 of them surrounding the Havieron gold-copper deposit to the north, east and south ( Figure 6 ). Drilling commenced at the Company’s Nimitz Prospect in early October and was completed by mid-December.

Directors’ Report

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Nimitz was chosen because of its easily accessible location along an existing track that passes though Havieron and continues east into Artemis’ Exploration Licence in a swale formed between 2 E-W trending linear sand dunes ( Figure 6 ).

Photographs of selected bedrock core intervals from holes GDRCD001 and GDRCD003 drilled at the Paterson Project Nimitz prospect showing clear signs of hydrothermal alteration and veining are presented in Figure 7 . These photographs show a range of rock types and hydrothermal alteration styles that have affected the Proterozoic basement rocks close to the western tenement boundary with the Havieron Au-Cu deposit. The scout drilling of these deep holes has provided core samples which provide early visual indications that rocks in the Nimitz Prospect area have potential to host gold and copper mineralisation, and results of petrographic analysis and geotechnical of 71 grab sample assay results will provide more geological insight into the gold and copper potential of the Nimitz Prospect area.

An extensive array of linear sand dunes show up as E-W trending lines, with topographic elevation highlighted by hotter colour attributes. The linear sand dunes range in height from 5 to 15 metres above the relatively flat landscape. The Nimitz Prospect is located 3km to the east of the centre of the Havieron deposit (3.4Moz Au), in the same inter-dune swale which was chosen for initial drilling due to relatively easy access.

Figure 8 shows simplified lithology initially logged from the core in the field plotted down the drillhole traces. About 70 short intervals of core (10-20cm long) were sampled in the field crossing key rock types, different alteration zones and veins of interest. These grab samples are being analysed for petrology and are being assayed for an extensive geochemical element suite. The remaining core is being fully measured, marked up, logged, cut, sampled and stored at Artemis’ Radio Hill Mine site.

MUNNI MUNNI PGE PROJECT

The Munni Munni Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling of 12 drill holes for 1,928metre was completed during the half year, with drill holes spread through the entire upper portion of the mineralisation, to a maximum depth of 200 metres. Samples were processed at ALS Global.

Drilling Results

The RC drilling programme was designed to add further confirmation of the PGE horizon position around the northern nose of the >20km long Munni Munni mafic intrusive Complex.

Historical drilling had shown the zone presence and was utilised to prepare a non-JORC 2012 compliant resource estimate, several RC holes were targeted at replicating the historical diamond drill intersections and provide comparative results with results from the Artemis 2018 diamond drilling. Other zones targeted were to simply improve definition other PGE horizon position. Holes 20MMRC009 & 010 were targeted on shallow VTEM anomalies at the base of the overlying Fortescue Group on the Munni Munni Complex.

As the PGE horizon is essentially a stratigraphic zone historical drilling has been widely spaced and very selectively assayed; Artemis has undertaken a broad multi-element analytical suite to better refine the subtle lithological variations.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Figure 10 shows the allotted lithology fields based on the Al2O3 vs MgO contents from the 2018 Diamond drilling and 2020 RC drilling. Virtually all PGE occur within the Websterite lithology with a lesser amount in the pyroxenite due the PGE occurring very close to the contact between the 2 units

In the diamond drill core from 2018 essentially only gabbros and pyroxenites were recognised, likewise in the RC chips only gabbros, pyroxenites and sediments with various minor intrusive dykes were noted.

The multi-element data gave the opportunity to refine the mafic lithologies based on Al2O3 and MgO contents, given the Complex is essentially unmetamorphosed the lithochemistry has been shown to be consistent across 2 phases of drilling.

Section 481900mE ( Figure 11 ) shows drill holes 18MMAD005 and 20MMRC005 with a direct comparison of the PGE results and the remarkable continuity and consistency of the lithochemistry. As would be expected the RC data shows slightly lower absolute results for the PGE, but occurs in the same relative ’stratigraphic‘ position, what is remarkable is the very steep dip of the horizon which clearly indicates there is far more variation than previously interpreted.

Directors’ Report

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

On section 482480mE ( Figure 12 ) Diamond drillhole 18MMAD004 likely clipped the edge of the PGE horizon which was interpreted to be due faulting, which is has also been confirmed by the lithochemistry. Drill hole MMD0032 intersected the PGE horizon approximately 30m to the east of 20MMRC007; but shows the intersections occurring in comparable positions with comparable grades and intersection widths. It should be noted that the reported assay grades in MMD0032 are derived from ¼ NQ core over 0.25m sample lengths, so the volume and mass of the RC sample (~3kg/m) is perceived to be a more representative sample. Specific assay results of the intersections in MMD0032 and 20MMRC007 are as announced 3 August 2020 to ASX “Munni Munni RC Drill Results”.

The litho-chemical data again shows the very consistent nature of the mafic layering within the complex, but has also highlighted faulting and related dip changes of the PGE Reef.

Artemis Resources Limited Interim Financial Report – December 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. The half year financial report is to be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical costs, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is Artemis Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

These interim financial statements were authorised for issue on 12 March 2021.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.

Going Concern

For the half-year ended 31 December 2020 the Group recorded a loss of $4,270,300 (2019: a loss of $8,051,108) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,670,812 (2019: $1,081,142).

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company and Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company and Group will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the following factors:

  • The Group has cash at bank of $7,928,360 and net assets of $57,062,746 as at 31 December 2020;

24 | P a g e

Artemis Resources Limited Interim Financial Report – December 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  • The Company raised $5,297,810, after costs, during the period and the Company has the ability to raise further capital to enable the Group to meet scheduled exploration expenditure requirements; and

  • The ability of the Group to scale back certain parts of their activities that are nonessential so as to conserve cash.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Company and Group will be able to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Key judgment

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation, and development, where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded.

1. SEGMENT INFORMATION

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Group’s operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make decisions regarding the Group’s operations and allocation of working capital. Due to the size and nature of the Group, the Board as a whole has been determined as the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

a. Description of segments

The Board has determined that the Group has two reportable segments, being mineral exploration activities and development expenditure. The Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted expenditure incurred by area of interest. The internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regard the Group and its ongoing exploration activities.

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)

Exploration and Evaluation Phase Costs

Costs capitalised on areas of interest have been reviewed for impairment factors, such as resource prices, ability to meet expenditure going forward and potential resource downgrades. It is the Directors’ opinion that the Group has ownership or title to the areas of interest in respect of which it has capitalised expenditure and has reasonable expectations that its activities are ongoing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Artemis Resources Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Artemis Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration, for the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Artemis Resources Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
