Quarterly Activities Report
For the period ending 31 December 2025
_______________________________________________________________________________
Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX: ARV) is pleased
to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December
2025 (the quarter).
During the quarter, the Company delivered a significant exploration
breakthrough at the Titan East prospect within the Karratha Gold-Copper
Project, advanced development studies at Carlow, and expanded its copper
growth pipeline through the execution of a new earn-in and joint venture
agreement in the Madura Province. Artemis also entered into a non-binding
Memorandum of Understanding to collaboratively assess processing options for
the Elizabeth Hill Silver mine and positioned its technical team for drilling
programs scheduled in early 2026.
Quarter Highlights (December 2025)
· Titan East discovery breakthrough: Confirmation of a new shear-hosted
gold system with high-grade results of 5m @ 13.1g/t Au (25ARRC006) and 19m @
1.6g/t Au (25ARRC025), supporting an emerging mineralised trend over
approximately 600m strike and triggering follow-up diamond drilling (refer to
ASX announcement dated 29 October 2025 and 19 December 2025).
· Carlow development studies initiated: Commencement of a conceptual
mining study to assess potential open pit and underground development
scenarios in parallel with planned extensional drilling (refer to ASX
announcement dated 17 November 2025).
· Madura Province expansion: Execution of an earn-in and joint venture
agreement with Red Metal Limited to earn up to 60% of the Sharon Dam IOCG
Project, establishing a second district-scale copper growth opportunity
alongside Cassowary (refer to ASX announcements dated 24 December 2025).
· Radio Hill optionality advanced: Signing of a non-binding Memorandum
of Understanding with West Coast Silver to assess the suitability of the Radio
Hill Processing Plant for potential toll treatment opportunities (refer to ASX
announcement dated 4 December 2025).
· Post-quarter corporate update: Julian Hanna transitioned from
Technical Director to Project Manager (Cassowary and Sharon Dam) under a
consultancy agreement effective 1 January 2026 (refer to ASX announcement
dated 31 December 2025). Artemis announced its intention to delist from the
AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, with the objective of reducing costs
and compliance overheads and consolidating trading liquidity on ASX (refer
ASX announcement dated 15 January 2025).
Karratha Gold-Copper Project
Titan East Gold Discovery
The December quarter was headlined by a transition from exploration targeting
to discovery at the Titan East prospect, located approximately 1.5km northwest
of the Carlow Gold-Copper Resource (refer to ASX announcement dated 29 October
2025).
Assay results from the first reverse circulation (RC) hole drilled to test a
newly identified north-east trending shear zone returned a high-grade
intersection of 5m @ 13.1g/t Au from 132m in hole 25ARRC006, representing the
first drilling to test this interpreted structural position (refer to ASX
announcement dated 29 October 2025).
Follow-up drilling confirmed continuity of mineralisation along the shear
zone, with hole 25ARRC025 intersecting 19m @ 1.6g/t Au from 127m, supporting
the presence of a coherent mineralised system, (refer to ASX announcement
dated 19 December 2025).
Gold mineralisation is associated with vein quartz and alteration within a
structural zone parallel to the Regal Thrust, the same regional-scale
structure that hosts the Carlow deposit. The Titan East area is largely
obscured by transported sediments, which has historically limited the
effectiveness of surface exploration and highlights the importance of
drilling-led discovery.
In response to these results, Artemis commenced diamond drilling during the
quarter to define the geometry, orientation and potential scale of the
mineralised shear zone. Diamond hole 25ARDD006 was collared on 10 December
2025, with early core observations confirming successful intersection of the
targeted structure at depth. Assay results were pending at quarter end (refer
to ASX announcement dated 19 December 2025).
Next steps (March 2026 quarter):
· Completion and assay of diamond drilling
· Follow-up diamond drilling to test strike and depth continuity
· Integration of results into the Carlow-Titan geological model
Carlow Gold-Copper Project
The Carlow Gold-Copper Project remains a cornerstone asset within Artemis'
Pilbara portfolio, hosting a JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 374koz
gold and 64kt copper (refer to ASX announcement dated 13 October 2022), which
remains open along strike to the east and at depth below approximately 380
metres vertical.
During the quarter, Artemis commenced a conceptual mining study, being
undertaken by independent consultants Snowden-Optiro, (refer to ASX
announcement dated 17 November 2025), to assess potential development
scenarios and support ongoing technical evaluation of the project.
The study is examining a range of open pit and underground optimisation
concepts and is being conducted in parallel with planned extensional drilling.
This work is being advanced against a materially stronger commodity price
environment compared with the assumptions underpinning the October 2022
Mineral Resource Estimate.
Outputs from the study are intended to guide near-term decision-making,
including drill targeting priorities, resource growth opportunities,
metallurgical sampling requirements and early-stage development pathways.
Next steps (March 2026 quarter):
· Completion of the conceptual mining study
· Integration of drilling results into updated geological and
development assessments

Madura Province - Copper Growth Strategy
Cassowary Exploration Project
Artemis is systematically advancing its 1,129km² landholding along the Madura
Crustal Boundary in south-eastern Western Australia, targeting large-scale
IOCG-style copper-gold systems.
Following execution of the Land Access Agreement with the Pila Nguru
(Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC in October 2025, (refer to ASX announcement
dated 13 October 2025), the Company has full operational access to the granted
341km² core exploration licence (E69/4266).
Cassowary is centred on an interpreted intrusive complex situated along a
major lithospheric boundary separating the Yilgarn Craton from the
Albany-Fraser Orogen, a geological setting considered favourable for
large-scale intrusion-related mineral systems.
During the quarter, work programs were lodged for four initial diamond drill
sites, targeting the core of the interpreted Cassowary Intrusion (Target T1)
and associated structural corridors. These programs are designed to test the
presence of copper-gold mineralisation beneath transported cover.
Sharon Dam IOCG Project (Earn-In / Joint Venture)
During the quarter, Artemis executed an Earn-In and Joint Venture agreement
with Red Metal Limited (ASX:RDM) to secure a majority interest in the Sharon
Dam IOCG Project, (refer to ASX announcements dated 24 December 2025), located
approximately 50km south of Cassowary within the same regional structural
corridor.
Sharon Dam is defined by a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly interpreted
to represent a prospective intrusive system concealed beneath approximately
250 metres of transported cover, which is materially shallower than many
comparable IOCG targets in Australia.
Under the agreement, Artemis may earn up to 60% interest by spending A$5
million over three years, including a minimum A$400,000 drilling commitment
within 12 months.
The project has an existing Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) co-funding
allocation of up to approximately A$220,000, which will reduce net drilling
costs but does not count toward the minimum expenditure requirement under the
earn-in agreement.
Drilling is targeted for late Q2 2026, subject to heritage clearance.

Corporate
Processing & Infrastructure
Radio Hill Processing Plant
Artemis holds 100% ownership of the fully permitted Radio Hill Processing
Plant, located near Karratha in Western Australia.
During the quarter, the Company executed a non-binding Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) (refer to ASX
announcement dated 4 December 2025) to assess the potential suitability of the
Radio Hill plant for processing high-grade silver ore from the Elizabeth Hill
Silver Mine.
The MoU is assessment-focused only and does not constitute a binding
processing or toll treatment agreement. The evaluation is intended to
determine whether the existing plant configuration could be optimised to
support potential third-party material.
This work reinforces the strategic optionality provided by Artemis' infrastructure ownership and the potential for Radio Hill to operate as a regional, multi-commodity processing facility.
