Ann: Board Appointment - John Anderson, page-13

Thanks factor. Seems there is blame sharing with Dept Mines, so who knows? Many factors will be in play. May yet depend on the whim of a public servant  or a long boozy lunch, or maybe an accounting trick to commit the funds. Hotrock will have clue how these things work.  But yes, we could be in with a chance. :0)

Update on Program of Works (POW) for all Artemis Projects

Artemis advises that it currently has seven (7) Programs of Work (POWs) being assessed by the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) for routine drilling, trenching and bulk sample work.
Due to an increase in the activities in the mining sector in Western Australia, the assessment timeframes for government department approvals have increased significantly, which is adversely affecting our ability to explore at a pace that the Company would like.
Pending the approvals of the exploration programs, the Company has limited ability to start work on the following priority projects:

• ASD-1 DDH - +3.3km deep drill hole at our Balmoral Project.
• 47k Patch gold bulk sampling pitting and trenching. (Approval has been gained to process the
  sample at the Radio Hill processing plant, but no approval has been given to take the sample.)
• Munni Munni PGE drilling and trenching for metallurgical studies.
• Carlow Castle Co/Cu/Au drilling to expand resource.
• Whundo Co/Zn drilling to expand resource.
• Ruth Well Ni/Cu/Co drilling to test new targets.
