Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS)
· Previous shallow drilling
intersected several anomalous gold zones (>0.4g/t Au) over 1.5km
including 1m @ 4.89 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag
· WA Government co-funded
drilling grant approved
· Teams to mobilise in coming

Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the
'Company') (ASX/AIM:
ARV) is pleased to provide
an update to the planned drilling of the Lulu Creek prospect in the
Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are excited
that we are close to drilling the targets at the Lulu Creek
prospect. The pathway to obtaining clearance was a long but
successful one and we are very pleased to have the support of the
Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation to undertake this activity. We are
looking forward to getting the drill rig spinning and will keep the
market updated as to our progress."
About Lulu Creek
Lulu Creek lies 20km to the west of
the Company's Carlow Castle deposit and forms part of the
prospective Greater Carlow area (Figure 1). It was initially
identified in 2018 via a regional soils and rock chip program
defining an area of interest over 4km in an east-west orientation.
Subsequent mapping and rock chip sampling identified gold
associated with quartz veins and gossans within an unclassified
weathered geological unit mostly covered by shallow transported
sands and gravels.
Artemis completed 126 shallow RC
drill holes in 2020 with an average depth of 20m and a maximum
depth of 50m. (Refer: ARV announcement 18 September 2020).
The RC drill program was very successful in identifying several
zones of highly anomalous (>0.4g/t Au) gold mineralisation at
shallow depth including an intersection of 1m @ 4.89 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag from
24m (Refer Table 1, from ARV announcement 18 September
2020). The gold zones extend over 1.5km and are associated
with disseminated sulphide and quartz veins within an interpreted
quartz diorite intrusion.

Subsequent to the 2020 drilling
program, a 15-line dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) survey
was completed in July 2023. This identified two IP chargeability
anomalies within the interpreted Lulu Creek intrusion,
broadly coincident with the anomalous gold zones
intersected in the shallow drilling program in 2020 (Refer Figures
2 and 3).

The company
was also the successful recipient of a government grant to co-fund
the planned drilling at the Lulu Creek as part of the Department of
Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) exploration
incentive scheme funding (EIS).
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 Western
Australia. The Company's main projects include;
· Karratha
Gold Project including the Carlow Castle 704koz 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.
