• Stratigraphic diamond holes indicate potential sub vertical orientation of pegmatites at Kobe and Osborne. Drill hole #1 potentially stopped short of Osborne target
• Maiden RC drilling program to test Osborne targets is planned for March 2024 to test near surface lithium rich zone where access has now been granted
• New outcrop sampling confirms significant mineralisation in western extension of Osborne with rock chip sampling assays including;
o 2.36% Li2O, 32ppm Ta2O5 and 92 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-021) o 1.64% Li2O, 3ppm Ta2O5 and 14 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-033) o 1.22% Li2O, 45ppm Ta2O5 and 76 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT20-693) o 1.15% Li2O, 38ppm Ta2O5 and 102 ppm Nb2O5 (sample 23GT24-026)
• Mt Marie field exploration continues with further rock chip sampling underway
• The Artemislithium projects are within close proximity to Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS) Andover Discovery
Executive Director George Ventouras commented: “The results from the stratigraphic holes drilled on the Osborne JV tenement have provided valuable information for the technical team to refine and develop further drill programs. The geology has provided clear evidence as to the subterrain and potential location of the pegmatites which will be followed up shortly. Additionally, we are encouraged by the extension to the Osborne trend and look forward to further ground reconnaissance in the same area. With the above and our results from the Mt Marie lithium prospect, we are very excited for the next few months of activity and news flow.”
