(TSXV: ARTG) (\"Artemis\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has initiated a gold hedge program for the Company's Blackwater Mine project (the \"Blackwater Mine\") by entering into gold forward sales agreements to deliver 100,000 ounces of gold bullion between\n \n March 2025\n \n and\n \n December 2027\n \n at a weighted average sales price of\n \n CAD$2,836\n \n per gold ounce.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Steven Dean\n \n , Chairman and CEO of Artemis Gold commented, \"The initiation of a modest gold hedge program is a prudent and important step in underwriting the returns on capital invested in the early years of operations of the Blackwater Mine. The effective price on the first 100,000 gold ounces is at or near historic highs and approximately 40% higher than the gold price assumption used in our\n \n September 2021\n \n Feasibility Study. Hedging these ounces is also a risk management tool to further de-risk servicing of the Company's bank debt funding for the development of the mine.\"\n \n \n All amounts are stated in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise noted.\n \n \n \n \n Qualified Person\n \n \n \n \n \n Jeremy Langford\n \n , FAUSIMM, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed, and approved the scientific and technical information in this news release.
