The Placing received strong support from sophisticated and institutional

Artemis will issue 225,686,275 new shares at $0.01275 per share ("Placing
Shares"). The issue price is a 29% discount to the 20 day Volume Weighted
Average Price (VWAP). The Placing Shares will be issued in two tranches; 32%
in the first tranche and the remaining 68% following the creation of
additional capacity at a general meeting of the Company, to be held at a date
to be confirmed by the Company in due course (the "General Meeting").

Shares (in total 112,843,137 warrants), with an exercise price of $0.025 and
expiry date of 9 March 2026. The warrants have terms equal to the class of
warrants already listed on the ASX, as announced on 8 April 2024, and the
Company will make application to the ASX for the warrants be listed under the
code ARVOC .

Use of Proceeds

Artemis will utilise this additional funding to undertake further exploration
programs as per the following;

Lithium - conduct additional ground reconnaissance to define lithium
mineralised areas and to build upon the known pegmatites recognised to date.
The Company will also seek to complete heritage clearances, particularly
around the Mt Marie lithium prospect, in order to undertake maiden drilling on
the 100% Artemis tenure.

Gold - secure heritage clearances at Lulu Creek which is a priority target to
conduct drilling which is anticipated to occur around July/August 2024
(subject to heritage clearances) and to better define and prioritise
additional targets and undertake a potential combination of IP surveys, EM
surveys, ground reconnaissance and drilling where appropriate once targets
have been refined.

Funds raised will also go towards continuing work in conjunction with
Greentech Metals Ltd at the Osborne JV (GreenTech 51% Artemis 49%).

Funding

Following this capital raise Artemis will have, in addition to the $2.87
million raised, before costs, c.278.7 million warrants in issue with an
exercise price of $0.025, which if exercised would raise a further c.$7
million.

Artemis' investment in Greentech Metals Limited (ASX:GRE) has a value of $1.3
million as at today's date.

Admission

The Placing will be conducted in two tranches, with the first tranche of
73,000,000 Placing Shares (the "First Tranche Placing Shares") being issued
and allotted under Artemis' existing shareholder authorities and the second
tranche of 152,686,275 Placing Shares (the "Second Tranche Placing Shares")
being issued and allotted subject to the necessary resolutions being duly
passed at the General Meeting .

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of
the First Tranche Placing Shares to trading on AIM. It is anticipated that
admission of the First Tranche Placing Shares will take place on or around
8.00 a.m. on 15 May 2024.  Application will be made to the London Stock
Exchange for the admission of the Second Tranche Placing Shares to trading on
AIM following the General Meeting.

Following admission of the Placing Shares, the Company will have 1,916,882,424
Ordinary Shares in issue. The Placing Shares will represent approximately 11.8
per cent. of the Company's enlarged share capital, and will rank pari
passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

Executive Director George Ventouras commented:

"It is pleasing to have received this level of support from shareholders. With
the gold prospects that have been identified and the further prospectivity of
the greater tenement area, we are looking forward to additional field work in
conjunction with relevant surveys to prioritise these targets and to work
towards drilling, particularly at Lulu Creek.

This, together with the exciting Mt Marie lithium project where further rock
chip samples again returned high assay results, places Artemis in an enviable
position with two exploration pathways for in demand commodities.

We are also looking forward to further work on the Osborne JV with our partner
Greentech Metals."
