* Not necessarily in complete numerical order

Sampling techniques

• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

• Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was carried out on the Radio Hill Ni-Cu Project. This drilling was designed to obtain drill chip samples from one metre intervals, from which a 2-4 kilogram sub-sample was collected for laboratory multi-element analysis including: Ni, Cu, Co
• All samples were analysed using a portable XRF instrument (Innovex). Initial methodology has been to make a single randomly placed measurement on the drill sample bag. For more intensive evaluation a minimum of 4 measurements at regular intervals around the sample bag will be required. Optimum sampling time appears to be 90 seconds per measurement. The results from this were used to prioritised samples through the assay laboratory.
• Mineralised zones were identified visually during field logging, and sample intervals selected by the supervising geologist.
• Samples from each metre were collected through a rig-mounted cyclone and split using a rig-mounted static cone splitter.
• To ensure representivity, field duplicates were taken and submitted for analysis.

Drilling techniques

• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

• Reverse Circulation drilling at Radio Hill was completed by a truck-mounted Schramm 685 RC drilling rig using a 5¼ inch diameter face sampling hammer.

Drill sample recovery

• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

• Sample recoveries are recorded by the geologist in the field during logging and sampling.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery include SOPs to keep holes dry and pressurised and to minimise dust loss.
• Visual assessments are made for recovery, moisture, and possible contamination.
• A cyclone and static cone splitter were used to ensure representative sampling and were routinely inspected and cleaned.
• Sample recoveries during drilling completed by Artemis were highly satisfactory, and all samples were dry.
• Insufficient data exists at present to determine whether a relationship exists between grade and recovery. This will be assessed once a statistically representative amount of data is available.

Logging

• Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

• All drill chip samples are geologically logged at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom of each drillhole. It is considered that geological logging is completed at an adequate level to allow appropriate future Mineral Resource estimation.
• Geological logging is considered semi-quantitative due to the limited geological information available from the Reverse Circulation method of drilling.
• All RC drillholes completed by Artemis during the current program have been logged in full.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

• A cyclone and static cone splitter were used to ensure representative sampling, and were routinely inspected and cleaned.
• The RC drilling rig was equipped with a rig-mounted cyclone and static cone splitter, which provided one bulk sample of approximately 20-30 kilograms, and a representative sub-sample of approximately 2-4 kilograms for every metre drilled.
• The sample size of 2-4 kilograms is considered to be appropriate and representative of the grain size and mineralisation style of the deposit.
• The majority of samples were dry. Where wet sample was encountered, the cleanliness of the cyclone and splitter were closely monitored by the supervising geologist, and maintained to a satisfactory level to avoid contamination and ensure representative samples were being collected.
• Duplicate samples were collected and submitted for analysis. Reference standards inserted during drilling.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

• ALS (Perth) was used for all analysis of drill samples submitted by Artemis. The laboratory techniques below are for all samples submitted to ALS and are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation defined within the Radio Hill Project area:
  • Samples above 3 Kg riffle split.
  • Pulverise to 95% passing 75 microns
  • 4 Acid Digest ICP-AES Finish (ME-ICP61) – Cu, Ni, Co.
  • Ore Grade 4 Acid Digest ICP-AES Finish (ME-OG62)
• Standards were used for external laboratory checks by Artemis.
• Duplicates were used for external laboratory checks by Artemis.
• Portable XRF (pXRF) analysis was completed using Innovex units. XRF analysis was completed on the single metre sample bulk drill ample retained on site.
• Portable XRF results are considered semi-quantitative and were only used as a guide to mineralised zones and sampling.

Verification of sampling and assaying

• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

• At least two company personnel verify all significant results.
• All geological logging and sampling information is completed firstly on to paper logs before being transferred to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
• Physical logs and sampling data are returned to the head office for scanning and storage.
• No adjustments to the assay data were considered necessary.

Location of data points

• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

• A Garmin GPSMap62 hand-held GPS was used to define the location of the drillhole collars. Standard practice is for the GPS to be left at the site of the collar for a period of 5 minutes to obtain a steady reading. Collar locations are surveyed with a DGPS.
• Downhole surveys were captured at 30 metre intervals for the drillholes completed by Artemis.
• The grid system used for all Artemis drilling is GDA94 (MGA 94 Zone 50)
• Topographic control is obtained from surface profiles created by drillhole collar data.

Data spacing and distribution

• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.

• Current drillhole spacing is variable and dependent on specific geological, and geophysical targets, and access requirements for each drillhole.
• No sample compositing has been used for drilling completed by Artemis. All results reported are the result of 1 metre downhole sample intervals.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

• Drillholes were located in order to intersect the target at an angle perpendicular to strike direction. As the target structures were considered to be steep to moderately dipping and moderately plunging, most Artemis drillholes were angled at -55 or -60 degrees.

Sample security

• The measures taken to ensure sample security.

• The chain of custody is managed by the supervising geologist who places calico sample bags in polyweave sacks. Up to 5 calico sample bags are placed in each sack. Sacks from individual holes were placed into bulk bags, each bulk bag is clearly labelled with: Artemis Resources Ltd, Address of laboratory, Sample ID range
• Samples were delivered by Artemis personnel to the transport company in Karratha on pallets.
• The transport company then delivers the samples directly to the laboratory.

Audits or reviews

• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

• Data is validated upon up-loading into the master database. Any validation issues identified are investigated prior to reporting of results.

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
• The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

• RC drilling by Artemis was carried out on M47/161 – 100% owned by Artemis Resources Ltd. This tenement forms a part of a broader tenement package that comprises the West Pilbara Project.
• This tenement is in good standing and no known impediments exist (see map provided in this report for location).

Exploration done by other parties

• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

• The most significant work to have been completed at Radio Hill is by Fox Resources, who mined the deposit from 2004-2008.

Geology

• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

• The Radio Hill project covers the historic Radio Hill Ni-Cu orebody hosted within a layered mafic intrusive body.
• Sulphide mineralisation predominantly consists of Pyrrhotite, Pentlandite and Chalcopyrite.

Drill hole Information

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
  • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
  • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
  • dip and azimuth of the hole
  • down hole length and interception depth
  • hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

• Collar information for all drillholes reported is provided in the body of this report.

Data aggregation methods

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

• All intervals reported are composed of 1 metre down hole intervals and are therefore length weighted.
• No upper or lower cut-off grades have been used in reporting results.
• No metal equivalent calculations are quoted for exploration results.

Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

• True widths of mineralisation have not been calculated for this report, and as such all intersections reported are down-hole thicknesses and compensated for in 3D for the resource modelling.
• Due to the moderately to steeply dipping nature of the mineralised zones, it is expected that true thicknesses will be less than the reported down-hole thicknesses.

Diagrams

• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

• Appropriate maps and sections are available in the body of this report.

Balanced reporting

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

• Reporting of results in this report is considered balanced.

Other substantive exploration data

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

• Targeting for the RC drilling completed by Artemis was based on compilation of historic mining and exploration data
• There is no other relevant data to report on.

Further work

• The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

• The results at the Radio Hill Ni-Cu project indicate further drilling to infill drilling by earlier companies and verify the accuracy of this drilling and sampling as well as elsewhere on the tenement to extend the resources is warranted.

Database integrity

• Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.
• Data validation procedures used.

• Data used as received but checked for Hole ID and sample interval errors by MineMap © software. Some RC sample assays in database were checked against laboratory spread sheets and no errors were found.
• The historic Fox data is stored in an SQL database front ended by proprietary software with built in and customized validation procedures. The Artemis data is exported from self-validating drill hole log spreadsheets into Micromine and validated via Micromine built in validation procedures. Additional validation is by visual inspection of the data in 3D.

Site visits

• Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits.
• If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case.

• Two representatives from AM&A (A. Maynard & P. Jones) have visited the site to observe the logistics and geology recently in preparation of this report.  Most recently the author visited the Radio Hill mine on 20 July 2018. 

Geological interpretation

• Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of ) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.
• Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.
• The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation.
• The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation.
• The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology.

• The geological interpretation is based on a relatively dense grid of drill holes and experience gained by previous workers during underground mining so the geological interpretation is considered to be reliable.
• There are no other reasonable geological interpretations based on the available data and information.
• The resource model was confined by wireframes based on the drill intercept grades and geological interpretation.
• The mineralisation is controlled by the geology, i.e. lithologies and structures, with interpretations supported by drillhole data, previous mining activities and outcrop within existing open pits.

Dimensions

• The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource.

• The mineralisation is not properly closed off along strike or down dip.
• The modelled portion of the deposit is 250m long x 100m wide while the total deposit as drilled by earlier companies is approximately 1,250m long x 200m wide.

Estimation and modelling techniques

• The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters used.
• The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data.
• The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products.
• Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation).
• In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed.
• Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units.
• Any assumptions about correlation between variables.
• Description of how the geological interpretation was used to control the resource estimates.
• Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or capping.
• The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use of reconciliation data if available.

• The resource modelling was done with MineMap © software by interpolating grades into a digital block model using an Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) algorithm confined by wire framing of the (0.5 * Cu% + Ni%) mineralised zones with 50m search radii along and across strike and 10m up and down dip.
• AM&A considers that these modelling parameters are appropriate for an Indicated resource of the type and style of mineralisation being modelled.
• Previous estimates pre-date JORC 2012 and have been estimated using methods appropriate to the times i.e. not JORC 2012
• Cobalt will be produced, probably as a by-product in the Cu or Ni concentrates, and so is included in the resource estimate.
• The current resource estimate (as stated elsewhere) has been depleted for past mining.
• No estimates have been made of non-value components
• The block model block size is 5 x 5 x 5, sample intervals of 1m were used within the mineralisation wireframes. 80 RC drill holes inform the estimate. The majority of the drilling is on a nominal 20m x 20m pattern with some holes located to properly drill below the Fox drop-cut.
• As stated elsewhere this is a global resource so no SMU modelling has been undertaken.
• Correlations between variables were not used to estimate variable values.
• The interpreted geological boundaries are hard boundaries for estimation purposes. This is confirmed by boundary analysis.
• The model results have been validated visually comparing block grades to adjacent drill holes.

Moisture

• Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.

• All tonnes and grades are on a dry basis.
• The bulk densities are determined from down-hole density logging.

Cut-off parameters

• The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied.

• The resource modelling was confined by wire framing of the (0.5 * Cu% + Ni%) >0.5% mineralised zones. This total metal cut-off was chosen to define the mineralised envelope because the copper and nickel are strongly associated with each other in both the disseminated and vein lodes and are both economically recoverable with a weighting reflecting their approximate relative LME metal prices and metallurgical recoveries. The ratio of the combined Cu and Ni grades >0.5% was used to determine modelling limits since this is an approximation of the economic lower cut-off for open pit mining. This 0.5% grade also produces a robust continuous wireframe.
• The resource estimate is quoted at a 0.0% Cu lower cut-off within the wireframe. The basis for this in an internal report earlier this year estimating milling costs through the Radio Hill plant.

Mining factors or assumptions

• Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions made.

• No mining factors were considered for the resource estimate although it was assumed that it is most likely that the deposit will eventually be mined using the open pit mining method.

Metallurgical factors or assumptions

• The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.

• The Radio Hill ore was successfully recovered and saleable concentrates produced by Fox at the processing plant already on site.
• It is expected that the Radio Hill plant could successfully recover the fresh sulphide copper and nickel mineralisation as saleable concentrates.
• It is assumed that both the Cu and Ni are recoverable as saleable concentrates and will have metallurgical recoveries of ~80%.

Environmen-tal factors or assumptions

• Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made.

• No environmental factors were considered however the tenement has sufficient suitable area to accommodate a small mining and processing operation including provision for waste disposal.
• There are no obvious especially environmentally sensitive areas in the vicinity of the deposit although the usual impact studies and government environmental laws and regulations will need to be complied with.

Bulk density

• Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.
• The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.
• Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials.

• Bulk densities obtained from down-hole logging of 27 RC drill holes in the Artemis 2018 drilling program were modelled using the same parameters used to model the grades. A default bulk density of 3.1 was used in the cells beyond the search radii.

Classification

• The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories.
• Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).
• Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit.

• 80 RC drill holes inform the estimate. The majority of the drilling is on a nominal 20m x 20m pattern with some holes adjusted to properly drill below the Fox drop-cut.
• The resource was classified by AM&A as Indicated based on the spacing of the drilling and quality of the data used in the estimation.
• AM&A believes that this classification to be appropriate.

Audits or reviews

• The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates.

• No audits or reviews of the Mineral Resource Estimates have been made. Alternate models were generated by AM&A using Inverse Distance Cubed and different search radii and these confirmed the reported results.

Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence

• Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.
• The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.
• These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.

• The drill hole spacing is adequate to provide sufficient confidence in modelling the resource estimate at the reported resource category. The quality of the data used for the modelling is considered to be reasonable for the reported resource estimate.
• All quoted estimates are global for the deposit.
• Previous mine production has been properly accounted for in the resource model.
