RESULT AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
EASTERN HILLS ANTIMONY-LEAD PROJECT
During the half year the Company achieved a significant milestone by releasing its maiden Mineral Resource
reported in accordance with JORC (2012) for the Eastern Hills Antimony-Lead (Sb-Pb) Project1 located in the
Ashburton region of Western Australia, following the completion of a successful 15 hole drilling program in
October 2013.
The combined Indicated and Inferred Resource exceeded size expectations, comprising 1.3 million tonnes at
1.7% Sb and 2.5% Pb (see Table 1 and Figure 1). Importantly, the higher confidence Indicated Resource
category returned higher grades than expected in antimony (2.0%), lead (3.1%) and gold (0.41g/t) compared
2
to the Company’s Exploration Target estimated in January 2013 .

Table 1: Eastern Hills Mineral Resource estimate based on a 1.0% Sb cutoff grade
This resource estimate only includes mineralisation from the Taipan Zone, with drill testing of the new high
3
grade Dugite Zone (containing rock chip sample results up to 35.7% Sb, 36% Pb, 1500g/t Ag and 6.80g/t Au),
scheduled for the 2014 field season.
The Total Mineral Resource for the Taipan Zone at a 1.0% Sb cutoff grade contains 22,400 tonnes of antimony
4
(Table 2). Over 70% of the Total Mineral Resource is within the Indicated category. The remaining 29% of the
resource estimate is within the Inferred category, highlighting the potential for mineralisation to continue at
depth. Antimony continues to trade at just under US$10,000/tonne.

The Company announced in September that it had identified three new zones of similar style mineralisation
that appear to be part of a more widespread mineralised system – the Dugite, Gwardar and Tiger Zones (Figure
2).
3
Results from rock chip sampling, reported during the December quarter from the Dugite Zone, located just
north of the Taipan Zone (Figure 2), have returned up to 35.7% Sb - the highest antimony grade seen to date
at the Eastern Hills Project. The same sample (Table 3) also included extremely high grades of 29.0% Pb,
1,335g/t silver (Ag), as well as 0.56g/t gold (Au). Significant rock chip results (Table 3) provide further evidence
that Eastern Hills is a significantly mineralised multi-vein system (Figure 2) predominantly containing
antimony-lead with locally rich precious metals.

Figure 2: Eastern Hills - Latest sampling of new zones adjacent to Taipan Zone resource
Additional rock chip sampling and mapping of the Dugite-Gwardar-Tiger Zones was completed late in the
8
December quarter, with final assay results revealing additional high grade results on new zones .
The high grade results have elevated the Dugite Zone (Figure 2) to become a key focus in the Company’s quest
for additional resources to add to the Mineral Resource reported in accordance with JORC (2012) at the
adjacent Taipan Zone.
Dugite Zone
The Dugite Zone lies immediately to the north of the Taipan Zone (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The Dugite Zone
currently has a mapped strike length of approximately 1.1km and is striking east-northeast. As mentioned
above, further encouragement was obtained from the latest rock chip sampling campaign with one particularly
high grade result (sample 238639 – Figure 3).
Artemis has also uncovered, and reviewed, historical rock chip sampling results along the Dugite Zone.
Significant historical results (Sb>5%) are displayed on Figure 3 with best results up to 33.0% Sb, 36.0% Pb,
1,500g/t Ag & 6.80g/t Au within a 50m zone of Artemis’ high grade antimony result. The historical results
provide further evidence that the eastern end of the Dugite Zone is highly prospective for exceptionally high
grade antimony, lead, silver and gold. This particular zone of mineralisation is interpreted to be the result of
northwest-southeast faults cross-cutting the Dugite silica alteration zone roughly perpendicular to its strike.
This later stage cross-cutting fault zone is interpreted to provide the fluid pathway for the antimony-leadsilver-gold mineralisation seen at the Eastern Hills deposit. This model provides encouragement for further
discoveries of mineralisation on both the Gwardar and Tiger Zones, which at this point have not been mapped
or sampled to the same level of detail as the Dugite Zone.

Figure 3: Dugite Zone (East) – Artemis and historic sampling results (refer Fig 2)
Tiger Zone
The Tiger Zone is located 500 metres to the northeast of the Taipan Zone (Figure 2) and returned a high grade
result of 5.0% Sb in the September quarter (JORC 2004). Follow-up work during October detailed further
encouraging mineralisation with 3.8% Sb and 1.6% Sb results (JORC 2012) obtained from rock chips. The Tiger
Zone has a northeast orientation which, although slightly different from the more central alteration zones, still
shows evidence of a pathway for mineralisation along the fault structure.
Gwardar Zone
The Gwardar Zone lies to the north of the Dugite Zone (Figures 1 and 2) with an approximate strike length of
700m. Only one rock chip sample was taken by Artemis from the Gwardar Zone and an encouraging result of
0.4g/t Au was reported in the September quarter (JORC 2004). A gold result of this level is encouraging as it
suggests a potential link between the nearby Mt Clement gold deposit and the western end of the Eastern Hills
mineralisation. More systematic mapping and sampling of the Gwardar Zone was undertaken late in the
December quarter with results pending.
Scoping Study Underway
With successful completion of the JORC resource estimation, planning is now underway for follow up activities
to advance the Eastern Hills deposit. A field campaign to further map and sample zones identified adjacent to
the Taipan Zone, including the new high grade Dugite Zone, was completed pre-Christmas. Results of this work
revealed an extension to the high grade Dugite East Zone and will be followed up by drill target generation for
potential resource expansion. A preliminary scoping study to assess the economic parameters around the
deposit is scheduled for early 2014, while planning is underway for follow up drilling to commence in 2014
following the northern wet season, subject to available funding.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
China – Corporate / Strategic Partners
With the Eastern Hills Antimony-Lead Project attaining its maiden JORC (2012) resource status in November
2013, Artemis attended the World Antimony Conference in Guilin, China in December 2013. Artemis
subsequently went on to meet a number of key antimony corporates in Guangxi, Hunan and Guizhou
Provinces in the southeast of China, including miners, antimony ingot and trioxide producers, traders, offtakers and investors.
Artemis will continue to develop these relationships with companies seeking off-take agreements and
potential strategic partnerships in order to fund the advancement of the project.
WEST PILBARA PROJECT - High Grade Gold and Copper Targets
During the period, Artemis’ technical team conducted a short field visit to its West Pilbara Project to further
evaluate its gold, copper, silver, nickel and iron potential, in particular the gold/copper mineralisation at the
Carlow Castle Prospect. Further geological reviews of the project were also conducted and Artemis maintains
its belief that the region is under-explored and has high potential for new base metal and gold discoveries.
A further exploration program is planned subject to achieving a Native Title Agreement and, in respect of
tenement numbers E47/1745, E47/1746 and E47/1797, a Warden’s Court hearing in relation to a plaint against
these tenements. The Company has made good progress in negotiations for a Native Title Agreement and
expects a conclusion in March/April 2014 to enable exploration to proceed.
Artemis is also in discussions with several potential partners looking to invest in the West Pilbara Project
(Figure 4), to assist the Company to explore its large and highly prospective project area.

CORPORATE
On 28th August 2013, the Company announced the successful closing of a renounceable Rights Issue with 79%
of the renounceable Rights Issue being subscribed for by existing shareholders.
Under the Rights Issue the Company issued 155,262,206 shares raising $931,573. Attached to each share were
one Short Dated option (1.2 cents expiring 31 March 2014) and one Long Dated option (2 cents expiring 31
August 2016).
The shortfall under the Rights Issue was placed with underwriters with the Company issuing 40,853,952
shares, raising $245,124. Options were attached on the same terms and conditions as above. With significant
demand for the shortfall, the Company issued an additional 57,577,853 shares raising a further $369,712.
Options were attached on the same terms and conditions as above.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The half year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report which has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting
Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.
The consolidated half year financial report does not include all of the information required for a full annual
financial report. The half year financial report is to be read in conjunction with the most recent annual
financial report for the year ended 30 June 2013. This report must also be read in conjunction with any public
announcements made by Artemis Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the half year.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified,
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of certain non-current assets, financial assets and financial
liabilities.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is Artemis Resources Limited’s functional
and presentation currency.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $1,354,166 and had net cash
outflows from operating activities and investing activities of $439,176 and $1,062,457 respectively for the half
year ended 31 December 2013. The consolidated entity has prepared budgets and forecasts for the following
12 months, and has determined further capital is required if the company is to continue at the planned level of
operations.
These factors indicate significant uncertainty as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going
concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of
business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to
continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
•
The company has been successful in raising capital whenever it has approached the markets in the past
and the directors are confident in the ability to continue to raise additional funds on a timely basis,
pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001;
•
The consolidated entity has cash at bank at balance date of $678,841, net working capital of $483,929
and net assets of $8,415,553;
•
The ability of the consolidated entity to further scale back certain parts of their activities that are nonessential so as to conserve cash should capital raising be delayed or not occur; and
•
The consolidated entity retains the ability, if required, to wholly or in part dispose of interests in
mineral exploration and development assets.
Page 16
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
•
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and
that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded
assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Recovery of Capitalised Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of
factors, including whether the consolidated entity decides to exploit the related site itself, or if not, whether it
successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future
technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to the
environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND AMENDMENTS THEREOF AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE
FOR THE CURRENT HALF-YEAR THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITY
The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the
consolidated entity’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior
half-years. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory
have not been early adopted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
ARTEMIS RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Artemis Resources Limited which comprises the
condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed statement of comprehensive
income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year
ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it
controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report
that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted
our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial
Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the
procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial
report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s
financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations
2001. As the auditor of Artemis Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical
requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in
scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an
audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

directors of Artemis Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this
auditor’s report.
Conclusion

the half-year financial report of Artemis Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001
including:
(a)
giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its
performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
(b)
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations
