Artemis Resources Ltd – Western Australia-focused gold, copper and lithium exploration company – Trading in the shares of Artemis and of joint-venture partner Greentech Metals Ltd is halted on the Australian Securities Exchange to prevent speculative trading. This is because Greentech’s share price “increased considerably” on Thursday, resulting in it being issued with a price query statement by the exchange in Sydney. Greentech shares had jumped by 45% on Thursday, and Artemis shares were up 19% on ASX on Friday before being halted at midday. “Due to the price query and as there are laboratory assays pending release, Greentech felt it appropriate to halt trading of its stock on the ASX to prevent any further speculative trading,” Artemis says. The joint venture partners expect to release assay results for their Osborne tenement at West Pilbara on Tuesday next week.
Meanwhile. Artemis shares continue to trade on AIM in London….
