The initial program of ground work
commenced late in May 2024 and a small number of rock chips were
taken across the tenements. The rock chips
collected were taken proximate to previously identified targets,
including specimens taken from historic workings to confirm
mineralisation at these locations.

*Indicates rock chip sample
taken from Mullings pile.
Further ground exploration during
the quarter was also focused on the Carlow tenement. The
exploration team undertook rock chip sampling programs around the
Titan and southern prospects which resulted in a number of
high-grade results. Samples taken from the Titan prospect were
dispatched to the lab for assays with some samples returning
results >10,000 g/t Au (see table 2).

· Table 2
Significant results from rock chip sampling
conducted August 2024 - 0.3 g/t Au cut off
*Sample
taken from historical workings/mullock heaps
An additional ground work program
commenced in August 2024 with a number of rock chips taken across
the Titan prospect and Carlow North prospect and sent to the lab
for processing, The previous overlimit samples were also sent to a
lab that specialises in higher levels of gold which allowed the
Company to quantify the gold in these samples. Final assays were
received from both sample batches and significant results are
presented below and in table 3;
o 692,579.5 g/t Au & 3,000
g/t Ag (24AR11-005)
o 553,754.9 g/t Au & 1,305
g/t Ag (24AR19-075)
o 471,937.8 g/t Au & 1,775
g/t Ag (24AR11-008)
o 223,056.7 g/t Au & 1,195
g/t Ag (24AR19-068)
o 45,103.7 g/t
Au & 344 g/t Ag (24AR11-004)
o 33,389.9 g/t Au & 1,305
g/t Ag (24AR19-061)
o 7,440.0 g/t Au & 212 g/t
Ag (24AR11-002)
The potential upside remains large
not only for this prospect, but more importantly for tenement wide
prospectivity as the Company believes that Titan is part of a
larger gold mineralised
system across the Carlow tenement.

Samples taken in datum GDA94Z50
The Company completed heritage and
ethnographic surveys on the Lulu Creek gold prospect and Mt Marie
lithium prospect. The written reports on both these surveys have
been received and the pathway for ground disturbing activities,
including drilling, has been cleared.
During the quarter, the Company also
announced it had executed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with
Anax Metals Ltd (ASX:ANX) to jointly assess the potential for
mutually beneficial opportunities in copper on Artemis project
tenements and gold on Anax Metals tenements.
Artemis 100% Lithium Project
Further ground reconnaissance was
completed during the quarter and was designed as a follow up to the
original Mt Marie results where rock chip assays peaked at
4.67% Li2O.
These results confirmed the high-grade strike at Mt Marie and will
lead to further exploration work to uncover the extent of the
mineralisation. This work will include additional programs to
identify sub-surface pegmatites and lithium
mineralisation.

Osborne East was also included in
the expanded exploration program which was subject to additional
sampling, resulting in another round of multiple rock chip assays
returning greater than 0.5%
Li2O.
Figure

rock chip results
As a result, the strike length of
the Osborne East prospect has again been extended through this most
recent program with multiple zones of pegmatite extending across an
area of 500mx350m and which remains prospective for further
growth.
The rock chip assays included the
following;

Rock chip samples previously taken
from the Mt Marie prospect were tested for mineralogy type at
Curtin University and the analysis confirmed that the host mineral
for the lithium is spodumene.
The high grade Li2O
results at Mt Marie confirms the Company has discovered a
potentially high-grade system which is important in a regional
sense in that it is supported by Azure Minerals' Andover project
where a peak rock chip assay result of 4.87% Li2O was recorded and
an exploration target of 100-240Mt
@ 1.00-1.5% Li2O reported.
Osborne Lithium Project (ARV 49%)
A follow-up in-fill soil program
comprised of a total 916 samples was completed focussing on the
southern portion of the Osborne JV tenement with results from the
program reported post-quarter end. The Osborne pegmatite zone is
defined by a large associated anomalous lithium soil footprint
which has a strike of ~4km and a width of up to 1.3km.
Figure
8. Lithium
Soil Footprint Associated with Osborne Pegmatite Cluster
The anomalous footprint eclipses the
size of the observed pegmatite outcrop and indicates there is
potentially more to be discovered at Osborne. The soils report a
peak assay of 712ppm
Li2O and with numerous Li2O assays
greater than 300ppm. This
in-fill sampling was undertaken on a 50m x 200m sampling
grid.
Paterson Central Project
While the activities completed by
the Company during the quarter predominantly focussed on the West
Pilbara gold and lithium prospects, Artemis continues to possess a
highly strategic landholding in the Paterson gold province. The
Paterson Central project consists of a 605km2
exploration licence surrounding and adjacent to the Tier 1 Havieron
Copper-Gold discovery is also 45km east of Telfer in the Great
Sandy Desert of Western Australia.
Corporate
During the period the Company spent
$0.5 million on exploration and $0.5 million on administration and
overheads.
The Company received the balance of
funds of $1.6 million relating to the capital raise announced in
May 2024, following shareholder approval of the additional capacity
to issue shares.
The Company paid directors salaries
and fees in the amount of $98,000 for the quarter.
About Artemis
Resources
Artemis
Resources (ASX/AIM: ARV; FRA: ATY; US: ARTTF) is a gold, copper and
lithium focused resources company with projects in Western
Australia. The Company's main projects include;
· Karratha
Gold Project including the Carlow Castle 704k oz AuEq
gold-copper-cobalt project in the West Pilbara;
· Karratha
Lithium Project including the high grade Mt Marie Lithium Prospect
and the Osborne Lithium JV (Artemis 49%; GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE
51%)
· Paterson
Central Gold/Copper project in the Paterson Province (located
adjacent to Greatland Gold / Newmont's recent gold-copper discovery
at Havieron and only ~42km from the Newmont Telfer gold
mine).
· Artemis also
owns the Radio Hill processing plant, located only 35km from
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.
