Artemis Resources has restarted diamond drilling at its Titan East gold discovery, part of the Carlow Gold–Copper Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA).
This phase of drilling aims to further investigate a gold-bearing shear zone initially identified during a previous drilling programme in December.

The current project involves drilling two new holes totalling approximately 450m to better understand the geometry and continuity of the mineralisation.
Significant findings from earlier drilling include a 19m section yielding 1.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from a depth of 127m, recorded in hole 25ARRC0251, and a previously reported high-grade intercept of 5m at 13.1g/t gold from 132m in hole 25ARRC0062.
These results highlight a new structurally controlled gold zone outside the existing Carlow Resource corridor, underscoring the potential for further mineralisation within the Carlow-Titan trend.
The Titan East site is situated roughly 1.5km from the Carlow deposit, which has an inferred resource of 374,000oz of gold and 64,000t of copper.

By GlobalDataThe results from the recent phase of drilling conducted in December are still pending, with assays expected to be available by the March quarter of 2026, subject to laboratory turnaround times.
This renewed focus on Titan East seeks to provide structural definition by obtaining oriented core samples, where possible, to confirm shear orientation, mineralisation controls and vein architecture.
The drilling will also test for continuity by evaluating mineralisation extent along strike and downdip from the discovery zone.
Artemis executive director Jozsef Patarica said: “Titan East has moved quickly from a conceptual target under shallow cover to an emerging gold zone with genuine scale potential.
“The commencement of diamond drilling is the next step in tightening our geological understanding of the shear zone and positioning Artemis to execute a larger, targeted follow up programme. With Titan East only 1.5km from Carlow, success here has a clear pathway to near-term value creation.”
In April 2025, Artemis signed a binding agreement with GreenTech Metals to establish a 50:50 joint venture, named Andover Lithium, to consolidate their lithium mineral rights in WA.
