Osborne Joint Venture (Artemis 49% GreenTech 51%)

Three diamond drill holes totalling 1404m were completed with 1 hole located on the Kobe trend and two holes in the Southern pegmatite zone (Figures 2 and 3). The program was aimed at gathering stratigraphic and structural information relating to these pegmatite trends which will be used to refine a follow-up RC drill program anticipated to get underway in the first quarter 2024. Details of the completed drill program are as follows:

Further rock chip sampling confirmed the consistency of the Kobe lithium trend which now extends beyond 7.5km in strike length, including more than 1.5km on the Osborne JV ground. Significant mineralised lithium samples included:

· 1.82 % Li2O (Sample 23GT20-509)

· 1.41% Li2O (Sample 23GT30-531)

· 1.27 % Li2O (Sample 23GT20-505)

 

Additionally, further rock chip sampling at the Southern lithium trend included significant mineralised lithium samples below:

· 2.3% Li2O (Sample No 23GT20-155)

· 2.4% Li2O (Sample No 23GT20-232)

· 1.5 % Li2O (Sample No 23GT20-233)

 

These results are further evidence of the consistency of the high grade lithium mineralisation on the Osborne JV tenement and provides the Company with confidence for the next phase of exploration activity.

Artemis 100% Lithium Project

Exploration during the quarter was focused on the central portion of exploration licence E47/1746 where historic soils highlighted elevated lithium and associated pathfinder elements around the margins of the Andover mafic intrusive.

Review of the previous work has been undertaken with the view to recommence ground exploration activity in Q1 2024. Some early stage ground work commenced late in 2023 with a small number of rock chip samples taken and submitted to the lab for assay. This work will continue early in 2024 and seek to expand beyond the originally mapped reconnaissance areas.

 

Greater Carlow Project (ARV 100%)

Lulu Creek IP - Gold Target

An Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant of $82,500 was received [from the West Australian State Government] during the quarter to assist with drilling RC holes at the Lulu Creek gold project. Through a previously conducted high-resolution dipole - dipole IP (induced polarisation) geophysics survey at Lulu Creek, high level chargeability anomalies that may represent disseminated sulphides within the exploration area were identified. Subject to further modelling and interpretation of the IP chargeability and resistivity bodies and a heritage survey across the prospect, drilling can be undertaken and is anticipated to be completed within H1 2024.

No Activities completed during the quarter.

 

Forward Exploration Activity - Q1 CY 2024

Osborne Lithium Joint Venture: Once drill assay results have been received from the lab and assessed for QA/QC, they will be released to the market. Follow up drill programs can then be considered and implemented, with heritage clearances and programs or work already in place.

Additionally, Artemis will look to continue ground reconnaissance lithium exploration on its 100% owned tenements with a view to expand known mineralisation in the region.
