Visible gold identified at Sing SIX and Sing well

with veining identified along 2km ZONE

_______________________________________________________________________________

Highlights:

· Field mapping and chip sampling completed at Sing Six and Sing Well Prospects with 201 samples collected for assaying

· Angular free gold samples collected at surface across multiple locations along an interpreted 200m-300m wide NE-SW trending shear zone

· In addition to free gold collected at surface, visible gold was also identified within outcropping quartz/iron oxide veins sampled across the NE-SW zone

· Intense foliation and alteration observed within host rocks associated with mineralised veins along a 2km length of the NE-SW zone sampled to date

· Gold occurrences at Sing Six and Sing Well are 6km SW of the newly discovered Titan gold target and ARV's Carlow gold/copper project

· Sing Six and Sing Well, Titan and Carlow are all interpreted to occur within the wide Regal Thrust structural corridor which includes multiple shears and faults

Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to announce that ground reconnaissance across the Sing Six and Sing Well prospects has identified surface gold and mineralised veins with associated wider alteration zones across a wide 2km long area 6km southwest of the recent Titan gold discovery.

Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "Once again our exploration team has successfully identified and collected visible gold samples across our tenement portfolio. We are encouraged by the level of surface and vein hosted gold that has been discovered, especially in a known mineralised area such as Sing Six. This bodes well for further potential exploration success and these clues are leading us to the source of the gold which is very exciting."

Sing Six and Sing Well Prospects

The Sing Six and Sing Well prospects are located in the central part of the Silica Hills tenement E47/1746. The Sing Six and Sing Well prospects have been previously explored using wide spaced soil sampling and local metal detector sampling. A limited air-core drill program comprising 14 holes for total of 376m was also completed at Sing Six in 2020 with best intercept reporting 2m @ 0.97 g/t Au from 9m.

In May 2024, the Company followed up previous ground reconnaissance work at the Sing Six prospect with a second phase of surface sampling and mapping. The primary focus of this program was to gain a better understanding of the distribution of surface veining, related structures and alteration zones which may be indicative of the potential for a large gold mineralised system.

More recent field mapping and rock chip sampling across the Sing Six-Sing Well area has identified multiple locations of outcropping mineralised veins across a 2km long newly defined target area. Visible gold has been identified in surface samples and outcropping veins providing early encouragement of the prospectivity for this area.

Coarse angular free gold in surface cover has also been identified immediately around veins which contain visible gold and further along trend for approximately 1km. Characteristics observed in free gold samples suggest proximity to vein sources.

Veins were mapped across multiple parallel trends which are broadly parallel to the Regal Thrust structural corridor which extends northeast into the gold target area of the Titan prospect and is possibly associated with the Carlow gold/copper deposit.

Artemis' Karratha based technical team has identified veins comprised of quartz-iron oxide and quartz-carbonate (less iron) with multiple samples displaying visible gold.

Associated with the veins are zones of strong foliation and host rock alteration mapped across multiple parallel shears for approximately 2km. Single veins are predominantly steeply dipping, commonly range from 1cm to 10cm width, and occur as multiple sets in alteration zones up to 200m wide. Importantly, the vein hosted gold mineralisation and associated alteration may outline the wider potential to be tested by drilling.

Approximately 201 surface chip samples have been collected and dispatched to the laboratory for assaying. Results will be announced once received.

Cautionary statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. A number of vein rock chip samples were selected based on presence of visible gold during the sampling programs. The high-grade gold results reflect the irregular nature of the gold mineralisation. It should be noted that further sampling in close proximity to these high-grade zones may produce varying and very contrasting results. Some vein samples presented in diagrams may not have been analysed by a laboratory as the Company has chosen to keep them for type specimens.

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 have been selectively sampled from in-situ veining.

· Rock chip sample weight is approximately 100gm to 2kg. Formal registered weights to be confirmed at Laboratory.

· The rock chip samples of the veins 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 and assay grades required for economic consideration. They are by nature difficult to duplicate with any acceptable form of precision or accuracy.

· In some instances, a small 4-tonne excavator was used to expose vein material for sampling.

· High iron oxide parts of the vein sampled vary in hardness & friability and easily fragmented during sampling. Samples may comprise of combined many multiple fragments.

· 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%

· A selection of vein samples which contained significant visible gold (field observation determination of approximately > 5% visible gold VG) or those that reached over limits values at ALS will be subsequently analysed using gravimetric finish at Independent Assay Laboratories (IAL).

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 drilling has been undertaken.

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.

· Logging of rock chips are collected using Fulcrum App which has been set up for project geology requirements. Data recorded includes GPS location, lithology, mineralisation, alteration, structure. All data is captured using field note pad - Samsung Active-3. The level of logging detail is sufficient for exploration reconnaissance purposes.

· Alteration interpretation is preliminary and determined by field observation and correlated using QGIS work flows

· Structural interpretation is preliminary and based on field limited structural recordings. This work remains ongoing.

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.

2 rock chip samples pulverised on site to test for visual fine gold distribution and assaying.

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.

· Samples with visible gold and reporting Au overlimit at ALS were processed at IAL using gravimetric finish [or other description to match the level of description of the analysis technique that we have provided for the ALS method].

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 in built tough book GPS and 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.

· All data has been maintained, validated, and managed by administrative geologist.

· Specification of the grid system used.

· Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

· Sample points were determined by in built tough book GPS and hand held GPS which is considered appropriate for the reconnaissance nature of the sampling.

· GPS error is approximately 1-5m for Easting & Northing and up to 10m for elevation (m)

· 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 in situ veins. If visible gold in veining is observed this material have been selectively sampled. This sample material comprising quartz-iron oxides and visible gold likely reflects the nuggety nature of the mineralised system.

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.
