Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 30 September 2025

 

Excellent progress was made during the quarter by Artemis Resources Limited ('Artemis' or the 'Company') (ASX/AIM: ARV) during the early stages of the exploration and drilling campaign planned for the Karratha Gold-Copper Project and Cassowary Exploration Project.

Drilling started at the Karratha Project on 23 September 2025 with an 18-hole reverse circulation ('RC') drilling program intended to test two shallow gold targets at the Titan gold prospect located 2-3km northwest of the Carlow gold copper resource[1]

The RC drilling program consisted of widely spaced RC holes drilled across the Titan East target located within the structural zone which hosts Carlow, and the G1 gravity anomaly which includes small outcrops of brecciated and ferruginous chert with high grade gold occurrences from surface rock chip sampling, reported during 2024[2].

The Titan RC drilling was very effective intersecting a range of favourable gold host rocks including chrome rich ultramafic units, chert, mafic volcanics and sediments with local zones of alteration, quartz veining and sulphides. No assay results were received before the end of the reporting period from drill samples sent for analysis from the Titan East and the G1 targets.  

Post the reporting period, assay results from one RC drill hole at Titan East were announced on 29 October 2025[3].  This announcement highlighted an intersection of 5m @ 13.1g/t gold from 132m down hole in 25ARRC006 - the first hole to test an interpreted NE trending shear zone at Titan East. Based on the intersection in 25ARRC006, preparations are underway for diamond drilling in the December quarter to follow up these very encouraging early results.

Diamond drilling will also be carried out along strike from an intersection of 7m @ 2.9g/t Au in 25ARDD001 600m east of the Carlow resource (refer to ARV announcement on 28 April 2025).  Widely spaced drilling is planned to start in January 2026 to scope out potential for high-grade gold mineralisation between hole 25ARDD001 and the current limit of drilling at Carlow. 

Excellent progress was also made at the Cassowary Exploration Project during the quarter with the key 341km2 tenement (E69/4266) covering the large, interpreted Cassowary Intrusion granted on 11 August 2025. This was followed by lengthy negotiations for a Land Access Agreement covering all the Cassowary tenements (total area 1,129km2) which was executed by the Pila Nguru (Aboriginal Corporation) and announced on 13 October 2025.

 

Artemis also completed a placement[4] for a total $4.925m from institutional and sophisticated investors in Australia and United Kingdom, announced on 21 July 2025 and 24 September 2025.  Funds raised are being used for exploration drilling programs and for early development studies at Carlow and to progress exploration at the Cassowary Project.

 

Karratha Gold-Copper Project

Titan Gold Targets

Titan is a large, structurally complex area along the northern side of the Regal Thrust which outcrops as a prominent chert ridge (refer Figure 1).  Titan is largely obscured by transported cover which limits the effectiveness of surface exploration, including soil geochemistry.

Despite its proximity to Carlow and high-grade gold assays from surface samples of quartz veins and chert outcrops reported in 2024[5] only three diamond holes were drilled at Titan prior to the RC drilling program which commenced in September.  All three diamond holes drilled by Artemis at Titan East in March 2025 (25ARDD003, 25ARDD004 and 25ARDD005) reported elevated gold values (to 0.5g/t Au) including a 1m assay of 16.4g/t Au[6] (refer Figures 1 and 2).

Following heritage clearance received in July 2025, an 18-hole RC drilling program started in late September to test a 500m section of the Titan East target (10 holes) and the G1 gravity target (8 holes) - total meterage for the 18 holes drilled across both targets was 1,748m.

Lithologies intersected at Titan East and at the G1 Target in the recent RC drilling program include strongly sheared and altered ultramafic and mafic units, metasediments and chert.  A 50m wide porphyry dyke was also intersected in the three previous diamond drill holes6.

Carlow Resource Extension Drilling

The 2022 Carlow Mineral Resource estimate contains 374koz gold and 66,000t copper[7] and remains open to the east and below approximately 380m vertical depth.   A previous review of the Carlow resource by Artemis focused on the potential of the high-grade gold and copper lodes within the wider resource.  The review identified more than 190 assays >10.0g/t gold in 80 historic holes and more than 500 assays >2.0% copper in 162 historic holes[8].

Diamond drilling is planned to commence in January 2026 to scope out the potential for extensions to the Carlow gold-copper lode system, beyond the current limit of drilling in three stages[9] (refer Figure 1 and 4).  The focus of the program includes:

1.     Widely spaced holes within a 600m gap extending east from the existing resource up to an isolated intersection of: 7m @ 2.9g/t Au, including 1m @ 15.3g/t Au

2.     Widely spaced holes to follow up an isolated historic intersection of: 4m @ 11.1 g/t Au and 2.0% Cu 120m below the Carlow resource, which is open below 380m depth

3.     Drilling at the Chapman/Thorpe prospect to test potential for repetitions of the gold and copper lodes south of Carlow below the flat lying Andover Intrusion

Cassowary Exploration Project

Excellent progress was also made at the Cassowary Project during the September 2025 quarter with the key Exploration Licence E69/4266 (341km2) covering the large, interpreted Cassowary Intrusion granted on 11 August 2025[12]

 

This was followed by execution of a Land Access Agreement for Exploration and Prospecting with the Pila Nguru (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC, the registered Native Title Body Corporate on 10 October 2025.  The Land Access Agreement applies to E69/4266 and four additional tenements applied for by Artemis subsidiary, KML No 2 Pty Ltd, at the Cassowary Project.

 

Post the reporting period, Artemis lodged a work program with Pila Nguru to conduct diamond drilling at four proposed sites across the Cassowary Intrusion, subject to heritage clearance.

Cassowary is located 440km east of Kalgoorlie and is accessible via the Trans Australian rail line access road, the Connie Sue 'Highway' and station tracks (refer Figure 1).

 

The Cassowary Intrusion is a rare opportunity to test a large, undrilled exploration target in a very favourable geological setting for potential IOCG type copper/gold, and other types of intrusion related mineralization.  The potential of the Cassowary Project area has been given added credibility with adjacent EL applicant WA1 Resources Ltd (ASX: WA1) also announcing it is targeting IOCG[13]

 

Four magnetic and structural targets (T1-T4) have been identified within E69/4266 (refer to Figure 6). The core of the Cassowary Intrusion (T1) is the first priority for planned drilling.

 

E69/4266 covers the northern part of an interpreted 30-40km wide rift zone bounded by the Madura Crustal Boundary to the west and an un-named geological domain to the east. A separate application has been made for an exploration licence, EL69/4330 (447km2) to cover additional interpreted intrusions in the southern part of the rift zone[14]
