How Deep Does Titan East’s Gold Zone Go? Artemis Drills Deeper

Diamond Drilling Extends Gold Mineralisation

Artemis Resources Limited (ASX: ARV) has announced encouraging results from its latest diamond drilling program at the Titan East gold discovery, part of its 100%-owned Karratha Gold Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The recent drilling has confirmed the down-dip continuity of gold mineralisation within the Titan East shear zone, a key structural feature interpreted to control the mineralisation.

The new diamond drill holes intersected significant gold grades, including 4.7 metres at 2.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 175.27 metres depth, with a higher-grade interval of 1.3 metres at 6.38 g/t Au, and 5 metres at 1.3 g/t Au from 256 metres. These results build on previously reported high-grade reverse circulation (RC) drilling, which included 5 metres at 13.1 g/t Au and 19 metres at 1.6 g/t Au, confirming the robustness of the mineralised system.

Structural Model and Geological Context

The mineralisation is hosted within a steeply south-dipping shear zone, part of the Regal Thrust system, and is associated with quartz veining and fuchsite alteration at contacts between mafic and ultramafic rock units. This geological setting is consistent with an orogenic, shear-hosted gold system, which typically offers potential for scale and continuity. Artemis’ Executive Director, Jozsef Patarica, highlighted that the drilling results support the continuity of the mineralised structure at depth and along strike, reinforcing the prospectivity of the Titan East area.

Implications for Exploration and Development

With mineralisation confirmed to extend beyond 150 metres vertical depth and remaining open, Artemis plans to refine its structural model and systematically test extensions of the shear-hosted gold system through further drilling. The company is currently reviewing all exploration data to develop additional drill targets and is preparing for a targeted RC and diamond drilling campaign in the second quarter of 2026.

Alongside exploration activities, Artemis is conducting environmental assessments, including quoll habitat surveys, to facilitate drill access and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. These steps are crucial for advancing the project responsibly and unlocking the full potential of the Titan East discovery.

Broader Project Portfolio

Titan East forms part of Artemis’ broader Pilbara portfolio, which includes the Carlow Gold-Copper Project and Thorpe prospects. The Carlow project already hosts an inferred mineral resource of 374,000 ounces of gold and 64,000 tonnes of copper. Artemis also owns the fully permitted Radio Hill processing facility near Karratha, positioning the company well for potential future development.

Overall, the recent drilling results at Titan East represent a significant step forward in defining a structurally controlled gold system with promising depth extensions. The continuity of mineralisation and the geological setting suggest that further exploration could reveal a substantial gold resource.
