ROCK CHIP AND SOIL SAMPLING FOR LITHIUM MINERALISATION ON 100% OWNED TENEMENTS
TO RECOMMENCE

Highlights:

·    Ground reconnaissance to recommence on Artemis's 100% owned West
Pilbara tenement areas

 

·    Adjacent to the Osborne JV between Artemis and GreenTech Metals
(ARV:49%/GRE:51%)

 

·    Less than 20km from the Azure Minerals Andover Lithium project
(subject to takeover by SQM/Hancock Prospecting) - exploration target of
100-240mt @ 1.0-1.5% Li(2)O(1)

 

·    Rock chip sampling program and methodology designed by new technical
team

 

·    Small number of rock chip samples collected prior to the end of 2023
submitted for laboratory analysis

 

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to provide an update to
shareholders on ground reconnaissance soon to recommence on its 100% owned
West Pilbara tenement areas.

Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are pleased that ground
reconnaissance work will recommence shortly on our 100% owned tenement areas.
Given the exploration success of Azure Minerals via the Andover project
together with the results to date at the Osborne JV we have with GreenTech
Metals, we believe that our 100% owned tenements have good potential for
positive exploration results for lithium mineralisation.

Our technical team is the same team which has successfully identified the
positive lithium trends on the Osborne JV and GreenTech's Ruth Well project
and this work will be leveraging the team's newly developed exploration
methodologies. We are confident that should lithium bearing pegmatites exist
on 100% Artemis ground, they will be discovered through deploying this
approach".

Exploration

The technical team have identified several areas of interest that were not
quantified through previous exploration efforts. These areas are contained
within the Company's 100% owned tenement areas, have been assessed and will be
the subject of rock chip sampling in the first instance, followed closely by
soil sampling, where applicable.

A short test program was undertaken prior to the end of 2023 and a small
number of rock chip samples have been submitted for laboratory analysis.
Results will be released once they have been received and relevant QA/QC
protocols completed.

The Company will also be reviewing aerial imagery and utilising drones to
access and fully understand the tenement areas to ensure that priority targets
are the subject of first phase exploration. Further samples, when collected,
will be delivered to the laboratory in Perth for analysis and results released
accordingly.

The initial ground exploration phase is expected to be completed by late
February with follow up programs to be finalised post receipt of results.

 

This announcement was approved for release by the Board.
