RNS Number : 6955W  Artemis Resources Limited  22 August 2022

 

22 August 2022

 

Artemis Resources Limited

("Artemis" or the "Company")

Exploration Update

 

 

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX:ARV AIM:ARV, Frankfurt: ATY, US OTCQB: ARTTF)
is pleased to provide additional results from its 100%-owned Paterson Central
and Greater Carlow Projects, located in the Pilbara Region of Western
Australia.

 

Highlights

 

Paterson Central Project

 

·    Two diamond drill holes 22PTMRD008 and 22PTMRD009 already completed
at Paterson Central from pad AP004, see Figure 1.

·    Deepening of hole GDRCD006, first drilled in late 2021* at pad AP001,
is planned to extend its downhole depth by an additional ~400m (to over 1000m
downhole depth) to test a magnetic and gravity target.

·    Atlas drilling to commence once rig is finished at Apollo, followed
by Enterprise targets to the South, and Juno and Voyager targets to the North,
subject to final heritage and access solutions.

Greater Carlow Project

 

·    All Carlow drill results from the latest drill campaign have now been
received and the new Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to be completed in
September.

·    Results for ARC395 and ARC396 did not return any significant
mineralisation, in line with the offset of the lodes already discovered by
holes ARC403 and ARC404.

·    Extensive new gravity survey completed over the entire Carlow
tenement (~31 sq km) with encouraging results revealing several new
exploration targets which will be investigated further.

·    Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys completed at four separate
drill locations, with a significant new exploration target identified to the
East of Carlow in an area known as Marillion where a conductor exhibited
moderate to high conductance.

·    A major heritage survey is to commence soon at Carlow North in
preparation for an extensive new exploration effort at this large untested
target area that encompasses the northerly structural trends of both Crosscut
and Carlow West Zone.

*see ASX Release 04 May 2022 "Paterson 2021 Drill First Results 2022 Programme
Update"

 

Alastair Clayton, Executive Director commented - "Artemis is in a very busy
phase of its 2022 exploration and evaluation programme. Paterson Central
drilling is progressing very well and as part of the senior management team
that recently visited the Paterson Central region it is difficult not to be
struck by the scale of the exploration and development activity in the area
and the proximity of our project drilling to the emerging Havieron mine.

With all drill holes now returned from recent drill programmes at Carlow the
updated MRE is now being finalised.

Our Exploration Team have also been very busy acquiring a range of geophysical
data and preparing for the next phase of exploration at the Greater Carlow
Project. With a structural model at Crosscut and the Western Zone routinely
yielding excellent drill results, our focus will now turn to the untested
Carlow North Area where we believe multiple mineralising structures may be
present."

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. Furthermore, a new
mineralised northwest trending structure, that parallels the Crosscut Zone and
cuts through the Carlow West Zone has been identified.

These structures appear to trend to the north, continuing through the
silicified chert hills and into the plains beyond, see Figure 2. A new gravity
data set that covers the entire E47/1797 tenement area (31.09km(2)) appears to
support this notion and also points to several new areas to the west of the
Carlow resource area that require investigation, as shown in Figure 3.

resource area beyond.

Holes drilled in the Carlow West Zone have also returned with very good
results, with these results shown in Table 2 and the collar position shown in
Figure 4.

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.

Marillion Target

This area was initially highlighted by the historic Legend Mining data as a
VTEM anomaly. This target was drilled by hole ARC406 which returned no
significant results. It was decided that a MLEM and DHTEM survey be carried
out to better define the VTEM target at depth.

Modelling of the Marillion anomaly showed conductive plates of up to 5,000S,
covering an area of 0.31km(2), dipping to the south and located at 300 to 400
metres below surface.

Planning is underway to drill test this target.

Figure 4: Location of Marillion plates as defined by DHTEM and MLEM surveys.
The highly conductive nature of these geophysical targets makes for a viable
and possibly lucrative target, close to the Carlow Deposit.
