· PLANS FOR DRILL
TESTING PRIORITY TARGETS WHICH INCLUDE AREAS OF HIGH GRADE GOLD,
COPPER AND SILVER VEINS AT SURFACE, IS ADVANCED
Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the
'Company') (ASX/AIM:
ARV) is pleased to provide
an update on further exploration undertaken on the 100% owned
Karratha Gold Project in the West Pilbara region of Western
Australia.
The Company has undertaken further
ground reconnaissance and rock chip sampling across the Carlow
tenement, with the goal to map all outcropping mineralised veins
and structures and define additional priority targets for
drilling.
The current exploration strategy is
to use industry best techniques including geochemical and
geophysical surveys combined with structural interpretations to
identify targets within what Artemis considers is a wide, highly
prospective and underexplored structural corridor with potential to
host substantial gold deposits.
Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are very
excited that prospects located on the Carlow tenement continue to
deliver further high-grade gold, copper and silver results from
extensive veins at surface.
While several of these prospects have had minor drilling
programs, the exploration team continues to compile data to
identify the source of the widespread gold discovered at surface.
Combined with the Titan prospect and other targets in the immediate
Carlow area, the future looks very bright for the Karratha
Gold Project."

with current known prospects named
Thorpe Prospect
The Thorpe Prospect is located in
the southeast part of the Carlow tenement, E47/1797. The recent
ground reconnaissance program involved collecting additional rock
chip samples at Thorpe to define the extent of the gold bearing
veins and other structures. A small number of samples were also
taken close to the Carlow deposit.
In total, 52 samples were sent to
the laboratory for assaying for gold and other elements. Results
included the following high-grade assays from the Thorpe
Prospect;
o 45.8 g/t Au, 3.7% Cu &
38.6 g/t Ag
(24AR22-020)
o 12 g/t Au, 1.1% Cu & 3.7
g/t Ag
(24AR22-014)
o 5.9 g/t Au, 1.0% Cu &
17.8 g/t Ag
(24AR22-006)
o 3.4 g/t Au, 2.5% Cu & 4.2
g/t Ag
(24AR22-031)
o 3.0 g/t Au, 2.1% Cu & 24
g/t Ag
(24AR22-026)
o 6.2% Cu, 0.8 g/t Au & 5.6
g/t Ag
(24AR22-016)
o 6.1% Cu, 1.6 g/t Au &
13.5 g/t Ag
(24AR22-009)
o 10.3% Cu, 0.4g/t Au &
69.4 g/t Ag
(24AR22-013)
The high-grade gold, copper and
silver assay results are from veins sampled along three interpreted
structures, each trending SW-NE and East-West for approximately 2km strike
length (refer to Figure 2). High-grade gold/copper
zones have been defined along two of these structures over around
500m strike length. Mineralisation is associated with
stockwork quartz-iron oxide veining within shear and fault
structures ranging in width from centimetres up to approximately
12m. The associated country rock is predominantly altered
basalt & dolerite.

Table
1. Thorpe rock chip assay results
>0.5 g/t Au and >1% Cu
Prior to the recent rock chip
sampling program, Artemis conducted an initial sampling program on
Thorpe in August 2024, with high grade results
including;
· 6.1 g/t Au and 3.37%
Cu (24AR07-192)
· 3.4 g/t Au and 3.88% Cu
(24AR07-185)
· 2.2 g/t Au and 14.55%
Cu (24AR07-183)
· 23.8% Cu and 0.5 g/t
Au (24AR07-184)
A limited drilling program was
conducted by Artemis in 2021 which produced some encouraging early
results. A summary of the best intercepts are as
follows:
· 1m @ 3.4 g/t Au
from 32m (LFRC004)
· 3m @ 1% Cu and 6 g/t
Ag from 79m (LFRC004)
· 1m @ 4.6% Cu and 2.2 g/t Au
and 27 g/t Ag from 33m
(LFRC003)
· 9m @ 2.7% Cu and 16.3 g/t
Ag from 67m (LFRC002)
· 3m @ 2.16% Cu and 1.22 g/t
Au from 160m (LFRC001)
As a result of the reconnaissance
sampling programs on the Carlow tenement, widespread surface gold mineralised veins have
been identified within a wide structural corridor centred around
the district-scale Regal Thrust. Individual prospects and
deposits including Carlow Castle, Titan, Europa, Marillion,
Chapman, and Thorpe are interpreted to be related to this
structural corridor and remain a strong focus.

Next Steps
Artemis plans to commence drilling
of key targets within the Carlow tenement starting early 2025,
subject to heritage clearance and other regulatory requirements.
The Company has commenced the process for surveys of areas not
already cleared.
This announcement was approved for
release by the Board.

About Artemis Resources
Artemis Resources (ASX/AIM: ARV;
FRA: ATY; US: ARTTF) is a gold, copper and lithium focused
resources company with projects in the West Pilbara region of
Western Australia. The Company's main projects include;
· Karratha
Gold Project including the Carlow Castle gold/copper
project
· Karratha
Lithium Project including the high-grade Mt Marie Lithium Prospect
and the Osborne Lithium JV (Artemis 49%; GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE
51%)

Karratha
Artemis is focused on discovering
multiple gold prospects within its +200km2 tenement
package that can build upon the initial Mineral Resource at Carlow.
The majority of the tenement package has been lightly explored and
is now the subject of methodical exploration programs with a view
to identify all gold zones, veins, structures and
faults.
The Company will also continue to
progress the Karratha Lithium project including the high-grade Mt
Marie prospect and will look to advance this exciting project
through further field work which will lead to drilling the most
advanced targets in due course
