Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV, AIM:ARV, OTCQB:ARTTF) has delivered promising gold and copper grades in rock chip sampling at Karratha Gold Project’s Thorpe prospect in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with results up to 45.8 g/t gold and 10.3% copper.
The company was targeting outcropping mineralised veins across the Carlow tenement, expanding the gold footprint while also defining priority targets for drilling programs to explore.
Widespread gold at surface
“We are very excited that prospects located on the Carlow tenement continue to deliver further high-grade gold, copper and silver results from extensive veins at surface,” Artemis Resources executive director George Ventouras said.
“While several of these prospects have had minor drilling programs, the exploration team continues to compile data to identify the source of the widespread gold discovered at surface.
“Combined with the Titan prospect and other targets in the immediate Carlow area, the future looks very bright for the Karratha Gold Project.”
