Artemis Resources awaits new data from Armada near Greatland-Newcrest stand-out Havieron
Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV) (FRA:ATY) (OTC:ARTFF) has completed a ground-based gravity survey for its Paterson province project Armada, near Greatland Gold Plc’s coveted Havieron Gold-Copper Project in Western Australia.
The weeks-old 60,500-hectare Armada project surrounds Greatland’s newly-declared Havieron joint venture project to the north, south and east.
Artemis contractor Southern Geoscience Consultants is processing data from the survey and integrating them with a magnetic survey completed in January 2019, with results to follow.

Greatland’s discovery of a 75-metre intersection grading 4.77 grams gold and 0.61% copper increased excitement about the Pilbara gold rush region that houses Armada and Havieron, the Paterson gold province.
This week that excitement translated to a new joint venture partner for Greatland in the form of producer Newcrest Mining Limited (ASX:NCM) (FRA:NMA) (OTCMKTS:NCMGF) (OTCMKTS:NCMGY).
Newcrest may farm into a majority stake of up to 70% in a joint venture that will house Havieron project.
The larger company is to serve up an initial $US5 million investment then spend $US65 million over six years as it funds Havieron feasibility studies.
Newcrest and Greatland’s JV will also house 11 other blocks held by Greatland, with Newcrest to have a right of first refusal over other blocks.
Artemis gained tenure at the nearby Armada ground on February 14, 2019, when WA’s Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) granted it the Armada tenement, exploration licence EL 45/5276.
At Armada, West Perth-based Artemis has the 1-kilometre long Kzinti target about 2.5 kilometres along strike from Havieron.
Magnetic unit Kzinti’s length had been estimated in the magnetic survey undertaken earlier this year, in January 2019.
The 605 square kilometre Armada project is about 40 kilometres east of the multi-million-ounce Telfer Gold-Copper mine.
Today Artemis executive director Ed Mead highlighted the importance of Armada project to the company and the significance of Greatland’s nearby joint venture with Newcrest.
Mead is a gold and base metals geologist of more than 20 years and said: “The deal signed by Greatland Gold on their Havieron gold copper discovery near Telfer, with Newcrest, is evidence of the potential and belief in this area.”

Greatland and Artemis’ ground is on fine territory in the Paterson province and is also near big miner Rio Tinto Limited’s (ASX:RIO) (LON:RIO) (NYSE:RIO) (OTCMKTS:RTNTF) major copper discovery Winu unveiled two weeks ago on February 27, 2019.
Rio’s best intersections at Winu included 104 metres grading 0.8% copper, 0.28 g/t gold and 4.35 g/t silver.
Mead told the market today: “Both Haverion and Winu are quite extraordinary and provide a compelling argument for Artemis to progress this now granted Armada project.
“The latest ground-based gravity survey has been completed and will be integrated with airborne magnetic data captured by Artemis earlier this year.
“Artemis surrounds Havieron on three sides and right now we see this project as one of the most exciting in the company’s extensive Pilbara tenement portfolio.”

That portfolio includes the company’s flagship Carlow Castle Gold-Copper-Cobalt Project in the West Pilbara region.
An upgraded JORC resource for Carlow Castle puts the inferred resource at 7.7 million tonnes grading 1.06 g/t gold, 0.51% copper and 0.08% cobalt.
Mead indicated Artemis was taking stock of its Paterson province asset, saying: “Artemis will consider the best way to advance the Armada project once we receive all processed data.”
