Additional Results for Carlow Drilling
Following the announcement on 10 August 2022 in which the Company stated that
the review of recently received drill results from the 100%-owned Greater
Carlow Castle Project (the "Carlow Project") was incomplete, Artemis ordinary
shares were temporarily suspended from trading on AIM pending a further
announcement. The Company has now completed its review of the new drill
results and is pleased to provide investors with additional information which
is outlined below. Assay results are pending for drill hole ARC 395 and ARC396
and a further announcement of the assay results for those drill holes will be
made when those assays are received.
On the basis that this announcement represents a full update to the market and
that the Company are satisfied that the outstanding assay results for drill
hole ARC 395 and ARC 396 are not considered material in relation to the Carlow
Project, the Company has requested that suspension of the Company's ordinary
shares from trading on AIM be lifted with effect from 7.30 a.m. today and,
accordingly, trading in the ordinary shares on AIM will be restored at 8.00
a.m. today.

· Drill results are in line with management expectations and are
expected to contribute to the upcoming new Carlow Project mineral resource
estimate. Assay results for holes ARC 395 and 396 are yet to be received and
will therefore not be included in the upcoming new Carlow Project mineral
resource calculation.
Crosscut and Carlow West Zones
The Crosscut Zone has been interpreted to be a series of north-south striking,
high-grade repeating en echelon structures constrained by northwest striking
bounding structures. These northwest structures appear to be penetrative
structures that cut through the Carlow East Zone.
These structures trend to the north, continuing through the silicified hills
and into the plains as shown in Figure 1.
Drill holes ARC403 and ARC404 have tested northern extensions of the Crosscut
Zone and intersected grade, confirming that mineralisation continues and is
open to the north of the Crosscut Zone.
This intersection confirms that the mineralised envelops had 'stepped' over to
the west, in true en echelon form.
Additional drilling is proposed to follow this northwest structure.
Drill collars are shown in Figure 1 along with the structures to the north of
Crosscut.

Holes drilled in the Carlow West Zone have also returned with outstanding
results, with these results shown in Table 2 and the collar position shown in
Figure 1.
Drilling in this zone appears to be intersecting two zones. Holes ARC398,
ARC399 and ARC400 intersected mineralisation related to the Carlow West Zone,
while ARC401 and ARC402 have identified a second new mineralised northwest
trending structure, that parallels the Crosscut Zone and cuts through the
Carlow West Zone.
Further drilling is warranted to test this structure.

designed to test for further extensions of the known mineralised footprint at
Crosscut and Carlow West are very pleasing and we look forward to completing
and releasing the new Carlow Project resource model in the near future."
