Artemis Resources Limited has amended its ‘Titan East Discovery’ announcement, adding depth details to intersections and clarifying that visual gold mineralization has not been identified in hole 25ARDD006, with assay results expected in the March quarter. The company previously reported a significant intersection of 19m at 1.6g/t Au from 127m in hole 25ARRC025, following a high-grade intercept of 5m at 13.1g/t Au from 132m in hole 25ARRC006, confirming the potential of the Titan East shear zone. Follow-up diamond drilling has commenced, and results from current programs are expected to underpin an expanded drilling campaign in early 2026.

The following amendments have been made to the ‘Titan East Discovery’ announcement released on 17 December 2025 at 7am under RNS No 8137L.
A number of changes have been made at the request of the ASX. Depths have been added to intersection disclosures in the text. References to five of the six holes intersections in phase two showing results consistent with gold bearing systems has been removed. For phase three, detail has been added noting that detailed logging and sampling of the drill core is planned in early January. Detail has been added regarding drill core from hole 25ARDD006 included in Figures 5 and 6:
* There are no identified or reported visual occurrences of gold mineralisation
* There are no visible minerals which could provide an estimate of possible gold abundance
* Samples will be sent for analysis in early January with results expected in March quarter
The Company has also included a Cautionary Statement under Figure 6.
A number of other minor wording edits have been made.
Titan East Discovery: 19m @ 1.6g/t Au Confirms Emerging Gold Zone
· This follows a standout high-grade intersection of 5m @ 13.1 g/t Au from 132m in hole 25ARRC006[1], announced 29 October, confirming the significance of the Titan East shear zone.
· Results from 25ARRC025 are the first received from a six-hole RC program in November testing a 600m strike length of the shear zone, with numerous assays pending from five RC holes.
· Visual results from other RC holes are very encouraging, with several holes intersecting broad zones of alteration and veining.
· Diamond drilling commenced on 10 December to obtain geological and assay information to assist in defining the scale and orientation of the interpreted shear zone.
· The first diamond hole, 25ARDD006 has drilled across the shear zone with core photos from 25ARDD006 included in Figures 5 & 6.
· The December quarter RC and diamond drilling programs at Titan East are expected to underpin a substantial follow-up drilling campaign planned for early 2026.
Artemis Resources (ASX: ARV) (Artemis or the Company) is pleased to report that recent work at Titan East has evolved from early encouraging drilling results to a standout high-grade intercept, now complemented by a wide gold intersection, supporting the acceleration of drilling as the Company advances exploration of a newly identified gold zone.
Jozsef Patarica, Executive Director, commented:
“Drilling at Titan East continues to demonstrate the potential for a significant, coherent mineralised system beneath shallow cover. The combination of the previously reported high-grade intercept in hole 25ARRC006 and the newly reported wide intersection in 25ARRC025 reinforces our interpretation of a potentially substantial shear-hosted gold structure with encouraging width and continuity.
While numerous assays from five RC holes and one diamond hole remain pending, the consistency of alteration, veining and mineralisation observed across multiple holes provides increasing confidence in the potential of this emerging zone. The commencement of diamond drilling marks an important step in advancing our geological understanding, with structural information from this hole expected to materially inform follow-up targeting and drilling design.
Titan East represents a compelling growth opportunity within the broader Carlow Gold-Copper Project, and results from the current programs are expected to underpin an expanded drilling campaign in early 2026″
Initial RC drilling earlier this year[2], targeting strong rock-chip samples at surface[3], provided early encouragement that Titan East may host a mineralised structure beneath shallow cover. These results established the area as a credible new target located only 1.5km from the existing Carlow deposit (Inferred Resource 374koz Au and 64kt Cu [4]).
The subsequent drilling program materially upgraded the prospectivity of the area, returning an exceptional high-grade intersection of 5m @ 13.1g/t Au from 132m in hole 25ARRC006. This result identified the potential of the newly identified interpreted shear zone and provided a clear rationale to accelerate follow-up exploration.
Building on this momentum, Artemis completed a follow-up six hole RC drilling program in November along a 600m strike length of the interpreted shear zone. Several holes intersected broad zones of alteration and veining consistent with gold-bearing systems, with selective intervals submitted for fast-track analysis.
Assay results from the first hole of this program returned a wide intersection of 19m @ 1.6g/t Au from 127m in hole 25ARRC025. Encouraged by these early results, the Company has moved quickly to commence diamond drilling to define the geometry and scale of the mineralised structure.

Titan East – Summary of Recent and Current Drilling
Phase One:
Ten RC holes were drilled in September 2025 to test three priority targets at Titan East (Figure 1). Two of the RC holes intersected a previously untested mineralised structure, interpreted to be a wide north-east trending shear zone beneath shallow cover, with holes 25ARRC006 and 25ARRC024 returning broad intervals of gold mineralisation (Tables 1-2). Drilling away from the interpreted shear zone returned no significant intersections.
Six follow-up RC holes (25ARRC025-030) were completed in November 2025 along a 600m strike length to assess the potential of the interpreted shear zone highlighted in Phase One. Five of the six holes intersected broad zones of alteration and veining and fast track assay results for the first hole, 25ARRC025 resulted in an intersection 19m @ 1.6g/t Au from 127m, including 6m @ 2.63g/t Au from 131m (Refer to Table 3).
A 300m diamond drill hole (25ARDD006) commenced on 10 December to provide structural information across the shear zone and test potential for extensions to the high-grade gold mineralisation in 25ARRC006. 25ARDD006 has intersected a wide interval with strong quartz veining above a strongly altered contact at the base of the shear zone (Figures 5 and 6). Drilling was completed on 18 December. Detailed logging and sampling of the drill core is planned in early January with assay results expected later in the March quarter.
