The Artemis occurrence, located 28 kilometres southwest of the confluence of More Creek and the Iskut River, 23 kilometres east-northeast of Hoodoo Mountain, is a northeast trending zone of quartz veining with sericite alteration hosted within Late Devonian diorite of the McClymont Plutonic Suite
The occurrence was discovered in 2019 as a result of the regional mapping effort by Crystal Lake Mining. A local zone of quartz stockwork veins hosting copper with lesser silver and gold, was recently exposed at the toe of a glacier. Pyrite and chalcopyrite with minor amounts of bornite occur locally. Based on the orientation of the most anomalous samples, the Artemis occurrence trends approximately 040.
A sample, taken at the southern limit of a quartz stockwork zone, from a 15-centimetre-wide banded quartz-pyrite vein assayed 0.58 gram per tonne gold, 10.58 grams per tonne silver, 0.89 per cent copper and 0.014 per cent cobalt (Sample B0003632, Assessment Report 39128). The vein strike was 287 degrees with a 57 degree north dip. Bands of massive pyrite, with 1 per cent chalcopyrite, occurred as bands that were less than 3 centimetres in width.
In 2019, Crystal Lake Mining (name change to Enduro Metals Corporation) collected 2070 rock samples and 6125 hyperspectral measurements were collected throughout the Newmont Lake property. The area was also extensively covered by the property-wide soil sampling program. A total of 2624 soils samples were collected, with a main focus around the Chachi Corridor (including Artemis), Cuba, North/Kerr Glacier, and Thumper areas. In addition to geological and geochemical work, approximately 18 line-kilometres of an Induced Polarization (IP) survey was completed along the northern portion of the west side of the Chachi corridor.
