COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS
SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
Artemis Resources Limited is an ASX listed mining exploration and development
company, led by an experienced team that is focused on delivering shareholder
value from its 100% owned projects based in the Pilbara region of Western
Australia - the Greater Carlow Gold-Copper-Cobalt Project in the West Pilbara
and the Paterson Central exploration project in the East Pilbara. The Company
also owns the Radio Hill processing plant that is currently on care and
maintenance. This plant is strategically located only 35km from the Greater
Carlow Project.
The Company's flagship exploration project is the 100% owned Paterson Central
Gold-Copper Project which covers 605 km(2) and is located in the Yaneena Basin
of the Paterson Province. The Company is actively exploring the Paterson
Central Gold-Copper Project which is situated adjacent to the world-class
Havieron Copper-Gold Discovery. In November of 2021 the Company commenced its
inaugural exploration programme at the Atlas and Apollo sites which are
interpreted by Company geologists to sit within the same geological and
structural corridor as the Havieron Gold-Copper Discovery. As at the date of
Admission, four holes have been completed under the Company's Phase One Drill
Programme to a depth of between 623m and 810m and, while the Company is
waiting on assay drill results, drilling hits show highly encouraging geology,
including Hole GDRCD007 drilled from the Apollo target which intersected
several zones of particularly encouraging geology. The Company will continue
with its current and planned drill programmes in 2022 once local climatic
conditions permit, expected to be in March 2022.
Artemis' other advanced exploration and development project is the Greater
Carlow Project, which is located 35km south of Karratha and includes the
Carlow Castle gold deposit and the Radio Hill processing plant. At Carlow
Castle, the Company has a JORC compliant Inferred mineral resource estimate
(as at 14 May 2021) of 14.3 Mt @ 0.7 g/t Au, 0.4% Cu and 0.05% Co. The May
2021 resource statement was calculated from a total of 330 drillholes drilled
at Carlow Castle between 2017 and 2021, comprising 23 diamond and 307 reverse
circulation drillholes for 47,139m. The wider Carlow Project area has
historically had very limited exploration work and continues to be highly
prospective for gold and copper, including in respect of a recently identified
high priority exploration target at Chapman. The Company drill tested many
high priority exploration targets between July and September 2021 in a major
c. 14,000m reverse circulation drilling exploration campaign. The Company is
currently working with its resource consultants on a re-interpretation of the
Carlow resource estimate to take into account the results of this drilling
campaign and a new geological model of the deposit itself. The results of this
exercise are expected to be available later in H1 of 2022.
Over the past two years the Company has substantially progressed its strategy
of divesting non-core tenements into indirect holdings and simplifying the
Company's portfolio to focus on the two Pilbara projects:
- In March 2020, the Company divested its Purdy's Reward and 47k
Patch tenements to Novo Resources Corp and other parties.
- In December 2021, the Company entered into a binding heads of
terms with Alien Metals Ltd (AIM:UFO) to dispose of its 70% joint venture
interest in the Munni Munni Platinum Group Metals and Gold Project in West
Pilbara, Western Australia to Alien Metals Ltd.
- In January 2022, the Company divested several non-core assets to
GreenTech Metals Limited (ASX:GRE) and holds 6,750,00 shares in Greentech,
representing approximately 14.8% of GreenTech's issued share capital.
- Additionally, Artemis entered into two farm-in and joint venture
agreements for GreenTech to earn up to a 51% interest in, and establish a
joint venture with Artemis in respect of the Osborne Project, and earn up to a
100% interest in the Whundo Project.
