Artemis is focused on scoping out the potential for extensions to the existing Carlow gold/copper deposit and testing several satellite gold targets near Carlow. The majority of the Karratha tenements have minimal historic drilling and Artemis is preparing several drilling programs starting in the December quarter to test high priority targets.
Artemis has also expanded its exploration holdings at the Cassowary Copper/Gold Project east of Kalgoorlie and is awaiting approval for an access agreement to enable a geophysical survey to assist in targeting drilling of the first intrusion at Cassowary.
