Artemis Gold Inc. Maintains Production Guidance for the Full Year of 2025 Artemis Gold Inc. maintained production guidance for the full year of 2025. For the year, the company's original production guidance of 190,000 ounces to 230,000 ounces of gold produced is maintained. Based on year-to-date production through the third quarter, the Company expects to achieve guidance in the lower half of that range. This is primarily due to higher than anticipated mill downtime as the Company continued to uncover and correct deficiencies associated with the design and construction work by its former EPC contractor, together with lower than originally planned recoveries.

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 1.6% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Aug 13

Artemis Gold Provides Update on Progress At Blackwater Mine Artemis Gold Inc. provides an update on progress at the Blackwater Mine. At September 30, 2024, overall construction of the Blackwater Mine was over 95% complete, the project is fully funded, and first gold pour is targeted for late Fourth Quarter 2024. The 135-kilometre long 225kV transmission line between the Blackwater Mine and BC Hydro's Glenannan substation is complete and was successfully energized with renewable grid power on October 8, 2024. Construction of the Tailings Storage Facility will be complete by the end of October 2024 in advance of commencement of ore commissioning of the plant. The initial mining fleet has been commissioned and pre-stripping of the mine, as well as the construction of haul roads, are well advanced, with first ore expected to be received to the run of mine ("ROM") pad over the course of the next month. In addition, Blackwater's operations camp is complete and has housed operational staff since late Third Quarter 2024. In order to accelerate the commissioning of the process facility to align with the other major construction milestones already achieved, the Company has taken responsibility for plant commissioning from the EPC contractor and will commence owner commissioning and remaining construction activity effective immediately. During the past 17 months, the Blackwater Mine has experienced two separate wildfire events which halted construction at site for a total of approximately one and a half months during the most productive months of the build. This resulted in additional fixed overhead drag on the project, and the benefit of operating cash flows has been deferred by the period of productive construction days lost. Management also invested in certain schedule acceleration initiatives to offset the delays, which have added to the cost of construction. Management has been working diligently on cost savings throughout its construction budget to minimize the impact of the cost drivers. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jun 21

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 33% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$337m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 33% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (CA$14m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.8% increase in shares outstanding).

Artemis Gold Inc. Announces Feasibility Study for Blackwater Project Artemis Gold Inc. announced the results of its 2021 Feasibility Study for the staged development of the 100% owned Blackwater Gold Project in central British Columbia. The results of the Study supersede the 2020 Prefeasibility Study ("2020 PFS") dated August 26, 2020 entitled "Blackwater Gold Project British Columbia NI 43-101 Technical Report on Pre-Feasibility Study" filed on SEDAR by Artemis on September 18, 2020. The results of the FS reflect several positive changes in the approach to the planned development of the Blackwater Project compared with the 2020 PFS. The scope changes incorporated in the Study include: Higher initial throughput: Phase 1 throughput has been expanded 9% to 6 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") with a larger crushing circuit, providing greater operational throughput upside potential in the early years, up from 5.5Mtpa in the 2020 PFS. Streamlined Phase 2 & 3 Expansions: a greatly reduced footprint of the FS Stage 1 facility, and the installation of a higher-capacity gyratory crusher in the proposed Stage 1 development. Importantly this allows for a streamlined and construction-ready approach to the Phase 2 Expansion throughput of 12Mtpa. The increase in up-front investment of CAD 53 million reduces expansion capital to: CAD 347 million (a reduction of CAD 79 million from CAD 426 million in the 2020 PFS) for the Phase 2 expansion to 12Mtpa. CAD 374 million (a reduction of CAD 24 million from CAD 398 million in the 2020 PFS) for the Phase 3 expansion to 20Mtpa. Net impact is a slight increase in total life of mine ("LOM") capital to fund the 3 Phases of development to CAD 1,417 million, up from CAD 1,415 million in the 2020 PFS. Accelerated Phase 2 & Phase 3 expansions: Phase 2 expansion begins with an expansion to 9Mtpa in year 5 (up from 5.5Mtpa in year 5 in the 2020 PFS), ramping up to 12Mtpa in year 6. Phase 3 expansion begins with an expansion to 15Mtpa in year 10 (up from 12Mtpa in year 10 in the 2020 PFS), ramping up to 20Mtpa in year 11; An Environment, Social Governance ("ESG") commitment in the Stage 1 development phase: an initial investment to replace diesel and propane-powered components within the process plant facility reduces the carbon footprint of the Project; Phase 3 throughput of 20Mtpa is supported by two mineral processing trains, reduced from three in the 2020 PFS: results in lower overall maintenance and labour costs, with improved economies of scale at higher throughput rates; Estimate accuracy increased with reduced risk: the FS costing accuracy has improved to +15% /-10% (from +25%/-10% in the 2020 PFS). Engineering undertaken in connection with the guaranteed maximum price ("GMP") memorandum of understanding ("MOU") on each of the process plant and the power transmission line have de-risked these components since the 2020 PFS. The achievement of negotiated fixed-price EPC contracts for these components of capital cost (targeted for Fourth Quarter 2021/Q1 2022) will also mitigate the potential for capital cost and schedule overruns on up to approximately 50% of the initial development capital estimate; Compelling economics even after reflecting current inflationary pressures, timelines and additional management driven environmental investments: the initial development capital has increased 9% to CAD 645 million, up from CAD 592 million, which provides a 9% increase in Phase 1 annual throughput, with current pricing, and environmental investments. The net result is an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate ("NPV5%") of CAD 2.15 billion, an after-tax Internal rate of return ("IRR") of 32%, and an after-tax payback period of 2.3 years, essentially in line with the 2020 PFS. Key Economic Outputs of the Study: Base case after-tax NPV5% of CAD 2.15 billion reflecting current market consensus long term forecast gold price of USD 1,600/oz and 0.79 USD/CAD exchange rate (CAD 2,025/oz, effectively the same CAD gold price as the 2020 PFS of CAD 2,028/oz) increasing to CAD 2.76 billion at a USD 1,800/oz gold price; Base case after-tax IRR of 32%, approximating the 2020 PFS after-tax IRR of 35% after incorporating higher initial development capital and ESG investments. Levered1 after-tax IRR of 43%; Initial development capital cost of CAD 645 million to develop a 6Mtpa Phase 1 open pit mining and processing operation (up from a 5.5Mtpa operation in the 2020 PFS); Exceptional after-tax payback period on initial capital cost of 2.3 years; Optimized mine plan increases average grade to 1.62 g/t Au over the first five years of production, up from 1.57 g/t Au in the 2020 PFS, combined with average throughput of 6.6Mtpa increases average annual gold production by 29% (compared with the 2020 PFS) to 321,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cash cost ("AISC2") of CAD 732/oz generating annual free cash flow ("FCF3") of CAD 301 million.

Artemis Provides Final Results of Grade Control Drilling of High-Grade Near Surface Mineralization Artemis Gold Inc. provided a final report on the results of its Grade Control drilling program (the "Program") targeting the planned high- grade starter pit at the company's Blackwater Gold project in Central British Columbia, Canada ("Blackwater" or the "Project"). With all of the final assay results now completed and interpreted, the Program has significantly increased confidence in the elevated gold grades within the wide, near surface mineralization in the target area earmarked for the first year of operations at Blackwater. Based on the results, the Program supports the elevated gold grades at the beginning of the mine life as outlined in the 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study for Blackwater ("Blackwater Gold Project British Columbia NI 43- 101 Technical Report on Pre-Feasibility Study" with an effective date of August 26, 2020. The Program consisted of 561 holes and 33,216 m of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling, which commenced in mid- November 2020 and concluded at the end of March 2021, one month ahead of schedule. The Program was designed to bring the drill density from up to 50 x 50m diamond drill hole ("DDH") spacing down to 12.5 x 12.5m spacing, generating up to 16 times the data when compared to the reserve definition drill program conducted by the Project's previous owner, New Gold Inc. The Program targeted a zone within the first 60 m (six mining benches) from surface containing in excess of five million tonnes of high-grade ore to improve short-term mine planning at the start of production. In production, Artemis plans a continuous grade control drilling program targeting mine blocks 9-12 months ahead of ore production to the mill to maintain this discipline throughout the life of mine operations. The LeachWELLTM assay method was selected to increase the sample size from a more standard 50g to 1,000g sample, which reduces variability and increases repeatability of assay results. Additionally, the eachWELLTM method increases the understanding of leachability of the orebody with the information feeding directly into the process design. Extensive duplicate analyses highlight excellent LeachWELLTM repeatability of assay results and recoverable gold and silver. Of the total samples assayed, 1,207 samples were also assayed for residue gold and silver concentration in the LeachWELLTM residues, resulting in a calculated overall recovery of 96.5% for gold and 69.3% for silver. Including the previously released results, the Program has also confirmed excellent continuity of mineralization. Drill sampling consisted of reverse circulation drill cuttings being collected at a drill mounted Metzke rotating cone splitter by Artemis personnel on 3 m intervals. Samples were placed into bags and further split at the Blackwater sampling facility to 3 kg sample size using a jones riffle splitter. Samples were tagged with barcodes, placed in a sample crate and a laboratory dispatch form was completed. Samples were stored in a secure location prior to shipping. Chain-of-custody procedures consisted of filling out sample submittal forms that were sent to the laboratory with sample shipments to make certain that all samples were received by the laboratory. Sample preparation and analysis were performed by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"), located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. SGS holds ISO/IEC accreditation for selected sample preparation and analytical techniques and is independent of the Company. Sample preparation consisted of drying, crushing and pulverizing to 75% passing 75 µm. Gold and silver analyses were performed using a 5-hour 1,000 g LeachWELLTM method with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry finish (ICP-MS). The representativeness of the LeachWELLTM analytical technique to a mineral deposit is dependent on the leaching characteristics of the material submitted. As no certified standard reference material had been prepared from the same material that was to be leached, no standard reference materials were inserted in the grade control sample stream to directly monitor analytical precision. Precision checks consisted of comparisons to results from split samples using 50 g fire assay methods, comparison of data to existing diamond drill holes and review of SGS laboratory standards. Additionally, LeachWELLTM tails solids were consistently checked for non leachable gold and silver using 50 g fire assay for gold and 2 g 4-acid digestion for silver. The Company randomly inserted blank and duplicate samples into the sample stream as part of the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) monitoring for the Program at an insertion rate of ~14%. These samples had closely monitored contamination, splitter functionality and analytical repeatability, respectively. Recent Insider Transactions • Jun 03

Artemis Provides Interim Results of Grade Control Drilling of High-Grade Near Surface Mineralization Artemis Gold Inc. provided an update to its Grade Control drilling program that commenced in Fourth Quarter 2020 targeting the planned high-grade starter pit at the Company's Blackwater Gold project in Central British Columbia, Canada ("Blackwater" or the "Project"). To date, results from the Program provide significantly increased confidence in the target area earmarked for the first year of operations at Blackwater compared with the corresponding area in the Company's mineral resource estimate as contained in the Company's 2020 PFS (defined below). The Program was designed to bring the drill density from up to 50 x 50m core spacing down to 12.5 x 12.5m spacing, generating up to 16 times the data when compared to the New Gold reserve definition drill program. This Program has targeted a zone within the first 60 m (six mining benches) from surface containing in excess of five million tonnes of high-grade ore to improve short-term mine planning at the start of production. The other primary objectives of the Program were to: Optimize the grade selectivity and mine schedule for managing the ore tonnes and grade to be processed in the first year of operations; More accurately delineate ore and waste boundaries to mitigate dilution; Optimize drill and blast designs; Provide a larger sample size to reduce grade variability. The Program consisted of 561 holes and 33,216 m of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling, which commenced in mid-November 2020 and concluded at the end of March 2021, one month ahead of schedule. The associated assaying work is ongoing, with all samples dispatched for analysis to SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Burnaby, B.C. To date, a total of 9,286 assays or approximately 75% of the total samples dispatched have been returned, confirming the planned high-grade early mining phase for Blackwater The LeachWELL assay method was selected to increase the sample size from a more standard 50g to one kilogram sample which reduces variability and increases repeatability of assay results. Additionally, the LeachWELL method increases the understanding of leachability of the orebody with the information feeding directly into the process design. Extensive duplicate analyses highlight excellent LeachWELLTM repeatability of assay results and recoverable gold and silver. To date, 849 samples were assayed for residue gold and silver concentration in the LeachWELL residues, resulting in a calculated overall recovery of 96.7% for gold and 72.2% of silver.

Artemis Gold Inc. Provides Update on Blackwater Site Activities Artemis Gold Inc. provided an update on the site activities related to the advancement of the Blackwater Gold Project in Central British Columbia. In support of the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") and in preparation for commencement of construction for Blackwater, Artemis has been conducting the following activities: To date, the Company has completed approximately 22,500 metres of ore grade control drilling over 396 holes with a total of 7,376 samples prepared and dispatched for analysis to SGS Canada Inc. in Burnaby, B.C. The total program is expected to be completed by April for a total of approximately 35,000 metres of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling planned. Initial testwork at the laboratory focused on comparing conventional assay methods (Fire Assay and 4-Acid digestion) with the LeachWELL assaying method. Results to date have exhibited excellent repeatability between those assay methods. Approximately 1,794 assay results were received as at the end of February. The RC ore grade control drilling program is focused on an area in the southwestern portion of the Blackwater pit, scheduled to be mined in year 1 of operations as per the company's 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study. The Program is expected to provide up to 16 times higher data density than what was used for the Mineral Resource estimate incorporated into the 2020 PFS to allow optimization of grade selectivity and mine schedule for managing ore to be processed. This practice is expected to significantly de-risk mine performance, particularly in the initial years of production.
As part of the ore grade control drilling program, the Company is also performing metallurgical testwork on the sampled RC material, which increases the Company's metallurgical sample size by 1,794 samples to assess variability of gold and silver recoveries. Samples are subjected to the LeachWELL assay process with the grade of the residual tails fire assayed and compared with whole-material fire assay results in order to estimate net recoverable gold and silver. To date, the LeachWELL test work has returned an average gold recovery of 95.7% with an average silver recovery of 71.4%, which further supports the life of mine estimates for gold recovery of 93% and silver recovery of 65% estimated in the 2020 PFS.
A geotechnical drilling program commenced in November 2020 to support detailed design of the tailings storage facility and the freshwater reservoir for Blackwater. This program included downhole seismic surveys and was further in January 2021 to incorporate additional drilling within the proposed plant-site area. The company to announce the successful completion of the expanded program with 28 holes drilled for a total of 1,395m.
Artemis is working to secure GMP proposals for the processing facility and transmission line for Blackwater to reduce risk and mitigate the potential for capital cost and schedule overruns by entering into fixed-price contracts for these components of the initial construction capital costs. Final GMP proposals for the processing plant have been received and are being evaluated with the selection of a preferred bidder on the processing plant expected to be announced in March 2021. Once the preferred bidder is selected, Artemis will begin negotiations and finalize detailed engineering and commercial terms on a fixed-price Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract. The Company is targeting a final fixed-price EPC contract for the processing facility in Third Quarter 2021. Further updates related to the powerline GMP will be provided in Second Quarter 2021.

Artemis Gold Inc. Makes Submission for Schedule 2 Amendment Process as Part of the Final Permitting Process for Blackwater Artemis Gold Inc. announced that it has submitted documents to Environment and Climate Change Canada to commence the Federal Schedule 2 amendment regulatory process under the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations in respect of its Blackwater Gold Project in Central British Columbia. About the Schedule 2 Amendment Process As part of the final permitting phase for Blackwater, a listing on Schedule 2 of the MDMER by way of regulatory amendment is required. An Environmental Assessment for the Project was approved by the Federal and BC governments in 2019. As part of the normal course of work forming part of the EA process, an objective and rigorous assessment of alternatives for mine waste disposal was completed to mitigate environmental risks. In addition, a fish habitat compensation plan was designed. These two key elements have now been submitted to commence the formal regulatory amendment process. Given the extensive consultation and study undertaken as part of the EA approval, Artemis believes that Blackwater is eligible for a streamlined Schedule 2 amendment process. The shorter streamlined process does not diminish environmental protection but provides a more efficient regulatory system that aims to shorten the approval time to 5-6 months. The standard regulatory amendment process typically takes 8- 12 months. Recent Insider Transactions • Feb 14

Artemis Gold Inc Announces to Present Key Data on the Near Surface High Grade Starter Pit Mineralization and the Commencement of Its Grade Control Drilling Program at the Company's Blackwater Gold Project in Central British Columbia, Canada ARTEMIS GOLD INC announced to present key data on the near surface high grade starter pit mineralization and the commencement of its grade control drilling program at the company's Blackwater Gold project in Central British Columbia, Canada ("Blackwater" or the "Project"). The Company has budgeted for a 35,000 metre reverse circulation drill program (the "Program") targeting mineralization planned to be mined during the first year of production within Phase 1 of the Blackwater development plan as set out in the Company's 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study on the Project ("Blackwater Gold Project British Columbia NI 43-101 Technical Report on Pre-Feasibility Study" with an effective date of August 26, 2020, available on the Company's website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com ("2020 PFS")). The primary objectives of the Program are to: Optimize grade selectivity and mine schedule for managing the tonnes and grade of mineralized material to be processed in the first year of operations; Increase data density by up to 16 times over current diamond drilling data; More accurately delineate ore and waste boundaries to mitigate ore dilution; Improve drill and blast designs; De-risk uncertainty regarding ore mined and milled during ramp-up from a project financing perspective; and Provide a larger sample size to reduce the grade variability of mineralization. Some of the high-grade mineralized zones intersected in previous drill programs as conducted by the previous owner of Blackwater, New Gold Inc. ("New Gold"). These high-grade mineralized zones are also illustrated in the Stage 1 pit design for bench 1570. This bench is one of seven benches planned to be mined in the first year of operations based on the Company's 2020 PFS. The 2020 PFS mine plan, on bench 1570 of the Phase 1 open pit, reports Mineral Reserves of 1,365,000 tonnes at grade of 1.45 g/t AuEq1 at a >0.50 g/t AuEq1 cut-off grade, available for processing, with an additional 795,000 tonnes grading 0.36 g/t AuEq1 to be stockpiled for processing in Phase 4. These high-grade mineralized zones are also illustrated in the open pit design for bench 1480, one of eight benches planned to be mined in year seven of operations per the 2020 PFS. Within this bench, the Mineral Reserve reports up to 4,554,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.39 g/t AuEq1 of mineralized material at a >0.50 g/t AuEq1 cut-off grade available for processing with an additional 2,406,000 tonnes grading 0.36 g/t AuEq1 to be stockpiled for processing in Phase 4.
