Osborne Joint Venture (Artemis 49% GreenTech 51%)

Further ground reconnaissance was undertaken on the Osborne JV tenement and several rock chip samples returned high results. These included:

2.36% Li2O, 32ppm Ta2O5 and 92 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-021)

1.64% Li2O, 3ppm Ta2O5 and 14 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-033)

1.22% Li2O, 45ppm Ta2O5 and 76 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT20-693)

1.15% Li2O, 38ppm Ta2O5 and 102 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-026)

 

The program was aimed at gathering stratigraphic and structural information relating to these pegmatite trends which will be used to refine a follow-up Reverse Circulation (RC)drill program. Ground work and in-fill sampling extended the western extension of the southern trend. These results extend the Osborne mineralisation 600 metres further west for a total strike length of 700 metres which remains open to further extension.

These results provide compelling evidence that the lithium mineralisation on the Osborne JV tenement is consistently high grade and provides the Company with confidence for the next phase of exploration activity.

 

Artemis 100% Lithium Project

To date, exploration has been focused on the central portion of exploration licence E47/1746 (Silica Hills tenement) where historic soils highlighted elevated lithium and associated pathfinder elements around the margins of the Andover mafic intrusive.

Figure 5. Pegmatite evaluation area previously identified

 

Some ground work commenced late in 2023 with a small amount of rock chip samples taken and submitted to the lab for assay. This work was followed up in early 2024 by further rock chip sampling with high levels of results received including:

24AR01-14 - 4.67% Li2O

24AR01-15 - 2.11% Li2O

24AR01-02 - 1.74% Li2O

24AR01-06 - 1.68% Li2O

24AR01-11 - 1.46% Li2O

23AR01-17 - 1.82% Li2O

23AR01-16 - 1.62% Li2O

23AR01-15 - 0.78% Li2O

 

The Mt Marie lithium prospect shows signs of high grade lithium and course grained spodumene crystals which provides a solid platform for further discoveries on the tenement.

Exploration at the Osborne East prospect also displayed encouraging results with several rock chip assay results reporting greater than 0.50% Li2O. Significant results included:

§ 24AR01-021 - 0.65% Li2O

§ 24AR01-027 - 0.60% Li2O

§ 24AR01-036 - 0.59% Li2O

§ 24AR01-035 - 0.57% Li2O

Rock chip samples from the Mt Marie prospect were previously tested for mineralogy type at Curtin University and the analysis confirmed that the host mineral for the lithium is spodumene.

Figure 6. Rock chip sample locations at the Mt Marie and Osborne East Lithium Prospects

The lithium bearing pegmatite at the Mt Marie prospect occurs along a mirrored or similar NE structural trend to pegmatites discovered by Azure Minerals only 20km to the east. Given the location of the Artemis tenements in relation to the Azure discovery and the proximity to Karratha and its logistical advantages, the potential pathway for the Mt Marie lithium prospect is becoming clearer and more compelling.

 

Karratha Gold Project (ARV 100%)

Lulu Creek Induced Polarisation (IP) - Gold Target

An Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant was received to assist with drilling RC holes at the Lulu Creek gold project. Through a previously conducted high-resolution dipole - dipole IP geophysics survey, three anomalies were identified that may represent disseminated sulphides. Programs of works have been approved and a heritage clearance application submitted in preparation for drilling.

Carlow, Silica Hills and Osborne Tenements

The Company has also reviewed historical data relating to gold exploration and has uncovered several potential prospects worthy of follow up work.

Paterson Central Project

No Activities completed during the quarter.

 

The Company spent $419,000 on exploration during the quarter which focused on lithium fieldwork and assays.

 

The Company paid directors $104,000 during the quarter for salaries, superannuation and consulting fees.
