Company Strategy Update

Following a review of the Company's projects and corporate strategy, Artemis reaffirms its commitment to be a Pilbara focussed gold and copper explorer. The Company believes that the Pilbara holds exciting potential for new discoveries and will use the most effective technologies to achieve its aim of discovering these deposits.

Guy Robertson, Executive Chairman, commented: "Artemis Resources has great assets and solid partnership opportunities in the Pilbara region. With a reduced cost base and a revised corporate strategy focused on gold and copper, our intention is to rebuild shareholder value through cost effective exploration using the latest technology and new partnerships to advance our key projects at Carlow Castle and at Paterson Central."

Greater Carlow Area

As separately announced this morning, Artemis will be pursuing a rapid assessment exploration program to define new mineralisation within a 25 km radius of the Carlow Castle gold-copper-cobalt deposit which hosts a 704,000 oz Au Eq. Inferred Mineral Resource reported in accordance with The JORC Code 2012.

Following detailed review, the Company believes that the Greater Carlow and Karratha area displays strong potential for both an increase in the Carlow Castle resource, and for the discovery of new mineralisation. Four exploration targets have been identified which could potentially increase the gold-copper inventory for the Company. The Greater Carlow and Karratha target areas include (Figure 1):

1. Europa,

2. Titan,

3. Marillion, and

4. Lulu Creek located 20 km west of Carlow Castle.

Immediate exploration will include the application of Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLTEM) survey at the Europa and Titan prospects as well as an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey at the Lulu Creek prospect.

Prospect Map Paterson Central Gold - Copper Project

The Paterson Central gold-copper project is a 100% owned 605 km2 exploration licence surrounding and adjacent to Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX: NCM) and Greatland Gold PLC (LON: GGP) Tier 1 Havieron copper-gold discovery. It lies approximately 480 km east-southeast of Port Hedland and 45 km east of the Telfer gold mine in the Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia.

Renewed interest in the project area occurred with Greatland's discovery of Havieron in 2018 and the subsequent farm-in agreement with Newcrest in 2019. The Havieron deposit represents a significant copper-gold discovery in an under explored province of Western Australia with a published resource more than 5.5 Moz of gold and 218 Kt of copper.

Following the conclusion of the 2022 drill program and the subsequent identification of mineralised breccia at the Apollo prospect (refer ASX announcement 12/12/2022), Artemis has held discussions regarding potential financing and joint venture opportunities on the Paterson Central project. Given continued interest in the project, the Company is commissioning an independent third-party expert to review project results to date. This review aims to contextualise the geology and potential of the Artemis ground relative to others, and to harden the current prospective targets prior to expenditure commitment. Concurrently, the Company will consider all avenues to fund the next stage of exploration, including potential third party funding and joint venturing opportunities.

Greater Pilbara Region

Within the greater Pilbara region, the Company is investigating additional ground with potential to increase its regional holding and prospectivity, through collaboration with other parties. Whilst the company will remain focussed on gold and copper, it will also review other options as and when they present themselves.

The Company has considered shareholders concerns regarding costs and has implemented a cost reduction exercise since the start of 2023, which has seen a reduction in the size of the board, staffing, and improved financial efficiencies saving over $1.7M per annum. An efficient team is now in place to implement the Company's strategy augmented by specialist consultants and advisers as required with the aim to increase shareholder value.

This announcement was approved for release by the Board.
