Clarification statement
Titan prospect delivers high grade gold assays
Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) wishes to issue this clarification statement in respect to its gold project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Rock chips were recently collected from a ground reconnaissance program that covered the Carlow tenement (Figure 1). The rock chip sample assay results taken from the Titan prospect indicate the presence of a high grade structurally controlled surface vein mineralisation across multiple areas including the Titan, Chapman and Thorpe prospect. Chapman and Thorpe are also known as Good Luck and little Fortune.
The Titan prospect, located approximately 1.2km NW of the 704,000 Au Eq Carlow Resource, returned the highest rock chip assay results of greater than 10,000 g/t Au (exceeding over limited values). Samples from this location were characterised by quartz-iron oxide veining which occur along a broadly defined SE-NW trend and in close proximately to regional shear zone structures. Vein samples returning high grade gold often display coarse visible gold, which was seen at the Titan prospect.
The Chapman and Thorpe prospects (Good Luck and Little Fortune) are located approximately 600m and 1.8km south of the Carlow Resource area. Chip assay results from these locations have confirmed the occurrence of multiple high grade copper and gold of up to 23.8% (Cu) and 6.14 g/t (Au) . The chips were selected from quartz iron oxide veining often collected from historical mullock heap workings. Vein structures across both prospects have been mapped for approximately 600m and appear broadly associated with E-W trending structures.
Previous drill results at the Good Luck and Little Fortune prospects are listed in Appendix 1 and feature an historic intersection at the Good Luck prospect of 10m @ 3.4% Cu, 1.75 g/t Au & 24.65 g/t Ag, from 116m, including 5m @ 6.23% Cu, 3.01 g/t Au, 45.32 g/t Ag from 117m.
Figure 1. Carlow tenement with rock chip sample locations (with higher grades noted) relating to the previous release in relation to known prospects.
Other currently identified prospects within the Carlow tenement include:
Marillion - identified by fixed loop electromagnetic survey (FLEM) which resulted in a very high tenor (11,000s) conductor target
Carlow North - Small scale soil sampling program that displayed elevated levels of copper
Europa - identified by coincident gravity and magnetic surveys.
Given the Carlow MRE sits between Titan and the Chapman and Thorpe prospects, the Company believes the prospectivity of the Carlow tenement as a whole is exciting and will be following up with further exploration activities with a view to extend the search for additional prospects.

Table 1 Significant results from rock chip sampling conducted August 2024 - 0.3 g/t Au cut off
*Sample taken from historical workings/mullock heaps
The rock chip assay results that were recorded at the Chapman and Thorpe prospect were erroneously reported in the prior announcement as the main thrust of that release was focussed on the Titan prospect. The Titan prospect is located approximately 3km from the Chapman and Thorpe prospects.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria |
JORC Code explanation |
Commentary |
Sampling techniques |
· Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. · Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. · Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. · In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
· Samples referred to in this report are obtained from random in-situ rock chip samples collected by Artemis Resources during field reconnaissance exercises. Rock chips containing visible gold has been selectively sampled. Sampling also undertaken across historic workings and mullocks heaps. · The random rock chip samples are irregularly spaced which is considered appropriate for "regional-scale" reconnaissance-level gold exploration. · Rock chips are random, subject to bias and often unrepresentative for the typical widths required for economic consideration. They are by nature difficult to duplicate with any acceptable form of precision or accuracy. · Samples were dispatched to ALS Global Laboratories in Perth for analysis. · Analysis included: - Au-AA26 - Au 50g FA AA finish - Au-GRA22 - default overlimit method - 50g FA with Gravimetric finish; upper limit of the method 10,000ppm; ME-MS6148 element four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish. - Trigger default overlimit method also requested for Ag, Cu, and Zn · Au analysis turned off for samples 24AR11-004, 24AR11-005 & 24AR11-008 due to significant Au concentration which is unable to be processed in geochemical fire assay facility, likely >1% · Crushing and sluicing equipment was used to produce gold bar from approximately. 300kg of quartz vein material collected from Titan. |
Drilling techniques |
· Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
· Not applicable, as no drilling was undertaken. · No mention is made in this announcement of exploration results including drilling conducted by other companies on nearby tenements. |
Drill sample recovery |
· Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. · Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. · Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
· Not applicable as no details on any drilling carried out by Artemis Resources are included in this announcement.
|
Logging |
· Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. · Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. · The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
· Not applicable due to the reconnaissance nature of the sampling.
|
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
· If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. · If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. · For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. · Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. · Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the insitu material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. · Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
· No sub sampling of rock chip samples has been undertaken as part of this program.
|
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
· The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. · For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. · Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
· Rock chip samples were dispatched to ALS Global Laboratories in Perth for analysis using their ME_MS61L (48 elements), and Au-AA26 (1 element) for 49 elements in total. · The laboratory reported the use of standards and blanks as part of the analyses for QA/QC. · No standards or blanks were submitted by the company.
|
Verification of sampling and assaying |
· The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. · The use of twinned holes. · Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. · Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
· Rock chip sample and geological information is recorded in the field with co-ordinates saved from handheld GPS used in the field. · All rock chip samples were inspected and described by Artemis geologists in the field. · Field data is entered into Fulcrum App before being loaded into a database. · No analytical result adjustments have been applied.
|
Location of data points |
· Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. · Specification of the grid system used. · Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
· Sample points were determined by hand held GPS which is considered appropriate for the reconnaissance nature of the sampling. · All sample location coordinates are provided in the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA94 Zone 50).
|
Data spacing and distribution |
· Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. · Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. · Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
· Not applicable due to the reconnaissance nature of the sampling. · No attempt has been made to demonstrate geological or grade continuity between sample points. · No sample compositing is applied to samples.
|
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
· Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. · If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
· Samples were collected from outcropping veins where possible, some samples were taken from historic workings and Mullock heaps where it was not practical to retrieve in situ samples. If visible gold in vein material is observed this material have been sampled |
Sample security |
· The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
· Sample security is by way of chain of custody.
|
Audits or reviews |
· The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
· No review of the sampling techniques has been undertaken.
|

· The project tenement covers an area of 126km2 and comprises granted tenement: E47/1746 · All Artemis Project tenures are 100% owned by Artemis Resources subsidiary company KML No 2 Pty Ltd E47/1746 & E47/1797 with the exception of E47/3719 which is subject to a GreenTech Metals/Artemis Resources 51%/49% Joint Venture · The tenement is in good standing with DMIRS and there are no known impediments for exploration on these tenements. |
Exploration done by other parties |
· Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
· Previous explorers in the region include but not limited to are Westfield Minerals, Consolidated Gold Areas, Open Pit Mining and Exploration, Legend Mining, Agip Exploration, Titan Resources and Fox Resources. |
Geology |
· Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
· Surface mineralisation is consistent with structure-controlled shear zone lodes in Archean low grade metamorphic terrains. Implications for intrusion related mineralised systems is also being considered. |
Drill hole Information |
· A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o down hole length and interception depth o hole length. · If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
· Not applicable as no drilling has been undertaken |
Data aggregation methods |
· In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. · Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. · The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
· Not applicable as no data aggregation has been used. |
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
· These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. · If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. · If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known'). |
· Not applicable as surface sampling is reconnaissance in nature. |
Diagrams |
· Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
· All the appropriate maps are provided in the body of this announcement. |
Balanced reporting |
· Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
· This announcement discusses the findings of recent reconnaissance sampling and associated assays. |
Other substantive exploration data |
· Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
