Osborne Joint Venture (Artemis 49% GreenTech
51%)
Further ground reconnaissance was
undertaken on the Osborne JV tenement and several rock chip samples
returned high results. These included:
o 2.36%
Li2O, 32ppm Ta2O5 and
92 ppm Nb2O5 (sample
23GT24-021)
o 1.64%
Li2O, 3ppm Ta2O5 and
14 ppm Nb2O5 (sample
23GT24-033)
o 1.22%
Li2O, 45ppm Ta2O5 and
76 ppm Nb2O5 (sample
23GT20-693)
o 1.15%
Li2O, 38ppm Ta2O5 and
102 ppm Nb2O5 (sample
23GT24-026)
The program was aimed at gathering
stratigraphic and structural information relating to these
pegmatite trends which will be used to refine a follow-up
Reverse Circulation (RC)drill program. Ground work and in-fill sampling extended the
western extension of the southern trend. These results extend the Osborne mineralisation 600 metres
further west for a total strike length of 700 metres which remains
open to further extension.

These results provide compelling
evidence that the lithium mineralisation on the Osborne JV tenement
is consistently high grade and provides the Company with confidence
for the next phase of exploration activity.
Artemis 100% Lithium Project
To date, exploration has been
focused on the central portion of exploration licence E47/1746
(Silica Hills tenement) where historic soils highlighted elevated
lithium and associated pathfinder elements around the margins of
the Andover mafic intrusive.

previously identified
Some ground work commenced late in
2023 with a small amount of rock chip samples taken and submitted
to the lab for assay. This work was followed up in early 2024 by
further rock chip sampling with high levels of results received
including:
o 24AR01-14 - 4.67%
Li2O
o 24AR01-15 - 2.11%

o 24AR01-02 - 1.74%

The Mt Marie lithium prospect shows
signs of high grade lithium and course grained spodumene crystals
which provides a solid platform for further discoveries on the
tenement.
Exploration at the Osborne East
prospect also displayed encouraging results with several rock chip
assay results reporting greater than 0.50% Li2O.
Significant results included:
§ 24AR01-021
- 0.65%
Li2O
§ 24AR01-027
- 0.60%
Li2O
§ 24AR01-036
- 0.59%

§ 24AR01-035
- 0.57%

Rock chip samples from the Mt Marie
prospect were previously tested for mineralogy type at Curtin
University and the analysis confirmed that the host mineral for the
lithium is spodumene.

Prospects
The lithium bearing pegmatite at the
Mt Marie prospect occurs along a mirrored or similar NE structural
trend to pegmatites discovered by Azure Minerals only 20km to the
east. Given the location of the Artemis tenements in relation to
the Azure discovery and the proximity to Karratha and its
logistical advantages, the potential pathway for the Mt Marie
lithium prospect is becoming clearer and more
compelling.
Karratha Gold Project (ARV 100%)
Lulu Creek Induced
Polarisation (IP) - Gold Target
An Exploration Incentive Scheme
(EIS) grant was received to assist with drilling RC holes at the
Lulu Creek gold project. Through a previously conducted
high-resolution dipole - dipole IP geophysics survey, three
anomalies were identified that may represent disseminated
sulphides. Programs of works have been approved and a heritage
clearance application submitted in preparation for
drilling.

Survey.

Osborne Tenements
The Company has also reviewed
historical data relating to gold exploration and has uncovered
several potential prospects worthy of follow up work.

No Activities completed during the
quarter.
The Company spent $419,000 on
exploration during the quarter which focused on lithium fieldwork
and assays.
The Company paid directors $104,000
during the quarter for salaries, superannuation and consulting
fees.
Corporate
Mr Christopher Kelsall resigned as a
director during the quarter and Ms Elizabeth Henson was appointed a
director subsequent to quarter end.
The Company listed 165,888,884
options (ASX:ARVOC) with exercise price $0.025 and expiry date 9
March 2026.
This report was approved for release
by the Board.
