Artemis Resources Limited
("Artemis" or the "Company")
heritage survey scheduled for mt marie and lulu creek
_______________________________________________________________________________
Highlights:
· Heritage survey scheduled to commence 3 July 2024
· Survey to cover both the remaining uncleared area of the Lulu Creek gold project and the Mt Marie Lithium project
· Program aims to clear priority drilling target areas on both projects
· Lulu Creek gold project is along a broader prospective structural corridor
· The clearance over the Mt Marie lithium prospect includes locations where high grade rock chips, including multiple results >4% Li2O have been previously reported
Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) is pleased to announce an update on heritage surveys within the Company's tenure located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Executive Director George Ventouras commented: "We are excited with the confirmation of heritage survey dates over priority drilling target areas. Both the Lulu Creek and Mt Marie projects hold high prospectivity for their respective commodities.
Once these surveys have been completed and reports received, it will clear the pathway for drilling of these targets."
The Heritage survey has been scheduled to commence on the 3rd July and is estimated to take 3-4 days. This survey will clear the pathway to commence drilling at both the Lulu Creek and Mt Marie projects and covers locations thought to be most prospective for gold and lithium respectively.
Heritage surveys are required to be completed to ensure that no sacred or important sites are disturbed and no important historical artefacts are destroyed. Successful completion of these surveys and the receipt of a written report are requirements for the Company to undertake ground disturbing activities such as drilling.
The Mt Marie project feature multiple rock chip assay results greater than 4% Li2O. The greater area is highly prospective for lithium mineralisation as can be seen from the Azure Minerals Ltd Andover project to the east of Mt Marie and where an exploration target of 100-240mt @ 1.00-1.5% Li2O was reported.
The Lulu Creek project was identified via prior drilling and is also the recipient of a co-funded Government drilling grant.

Once the clearance survey has been completed and reports received, the technical team will be able to finalise programs and schedule drilling accordingly.
The Company has been working closely with the Ngarluma Traditional Owners and is grateful for their support and cooperation.
This announcement was approved for release by the Board.
