Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the
'Company') (ASX/AIM:
ARV) is pleased to provide
an update on drilling at the 100% owned Lulu Creek prospect in the
Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Lulu Creek gold prospect
Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are delighted
that drilling has commenced at the Lulu Creek gold prospect. While
we are excited to see the results from this program, drilling at
Lulu Creek is only the beginning in a series of exploration
initiatives to test the prospectivity of our tenements which extend
20km along a major east-west structural corridor with numerous
surface gold occurrences.
With several other compelling targets already identified along
this structural corridor which is only lightly explored, the future
looks bright for exploration success."
About Lulu Creek
Lulu Creek lies 20km to the west of
the Company's Carlow Castle deposit and forms part of the
prospective Greater Carlow area. It has previously been explored
via a shallow drill program in 2020. The program constituted
126 RC holes which had an average depth of 20m and a maximum depth
of 50m.
The 2020 drilling program
intersected several zones of anomalous gold mineralisation
associated with disseminated sulphides at shallow depth.
Intersections included 1m @
4.89 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag from 24m, 2m @ 1.62g/t Au from 34m and
1m @ 1.15g/t Au from 9m. (Refer to ARV releases dated
18 September 2020 and 23 October 2024).

In early
2023 a 15-line dipole-dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) survey was
completed which identified two IP chargeability anomalies within
the interpreted Lulu Creek intrusion. In late 2023, the Company was
awarded a government grant through the Department of Energy, Mines,
Industry Regulation and Safety to co-fund this drilling
program.
The Company
plans to drill a series of reverse circulation (RC) holes to test
both the IP targets and zones of elevated
gold mineralisation intersected in the 2020
shallow drilling. It is expected approximately 5 holes for around
1,500 metres will be drilled.
Once the
program has been completed, all relevant samples will be sent the
laboratory for assaying and will be released to the market once
quality assurance and quality control has been
completed.
This
announcement was approved for release by the Board.

About Artemis Resources
Artemis
Resources (ASX/AIM: ARV; FRA: ATY; US: ARTTF) is a gold, copper and
lithium focused resources company with projects in Western
Australia. The Company's main projects include;
· Karratha
Gold Project including the Carlow Castle gold-copper project in the
West Pilbara;
· Karratha
Lithium Project including the high grade Mt Marie Lithium Prospect
and the Osborne Lithium JV (Artemis 49%; GreenTech Metals (ASX:GRE
51%)
· Paterson
Central Gold/Copper project in the Paterson Province (located
adjacent to Greatland Gold / Newmont's recent gold-copper discovery
at Havieron and only ~42km from the Newmont Telfer gold
mine).
· Artemis also
owns the Radio Hill processing plant, located only 35km from
Karratha.
Artemis is
focused on discovering multiple gold prospects within its
+200km2 tenement package that can build upon the initial
Mineral Resource at Carlow. The majority of the tenement package
has been lightly explored and is now the subject of methodical
exploration programs with a view to identify all gold zones, veins,
structures and faults.
The Company
will also continue to progress the Karratha Lithium project
including the high grade Mt Marie prospect and will look to advance
this exciting project through further field work which will lead to
drilling the most advanced targets in due course.
