Gold now confirmed to extend from Artemis’ Purdy’s Reward conglomerate gold Project westwards through Novo Resources Corp’s Comet Well and in to Artemis’ Comet Well West tenements.

  • Artemis has identified ~67km of conglomerate and Mt Roe Basalt contact immediately west of Novo Resource Corp’s Comet Well.
  • 3.6kg (115 oz) of gold nuggets now recovered from 47K Patch.
  • Fine gold also evident with gold nuggets recovered from 47K Patch.
  • Programme of Works (POW) submitted to commence extensive exploration on Artemis’ Comet Well West conglomerate gold targets.
David Lenigas, Artemis’s Executive Chairman, commented;
“Artemis has now identified ~67 kilometres of potential gold bearing conglomerates associated with the Mt Roe Basalt contact, immediately west of Novo Resources Comet Well 6 kilometre long conglomerate gold project. Our exploration and bulk sampling programme is about to commence in earnest at 47K Patch, the source of the many gold nuggets reported today. Applications have also gone in with the DMIRS for an extensive exploration programme immediately to the west of Novo’s Comet Well.”
