By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jul 13, 2026 · 17:00 ARTG · 31.47 Artemis Gold Inc.
Executive Summary

Artemis Gold Inc. (ARTG) reported record second-quarter 2026 gold production of 74,063 ounces at its Blackwater Mine, representing a 20% increase quarter-over-quarter. Year-to-date production reached 135,986 ounces, positioning the company on track to meet its full-year guidance of 265,000 to 290,000 ounces.

The mine achieved a record feed grade of 1.86 grams per tonne of gold and a record recovery rate of 92.2%, improvements driven by debottlenecking and process optimization. The Phase 1A expansion, which increases capacity to 8 million tonnes per annum, remains on schedule for commissioning at the end of 2026, while early works for the larger Expanded Phase 2 (EP2) project continue.

No financial or cost figures were included in this production update. Artemis Gold is scheduled to release its second-quarter financial results on August 6, 2026.

Material Impact

Artemis Gold Inc. (ARTG) reported a second-quarter production record, confirming that mill recovery and grade issues from prior quarters have been resolved. The results align with management’s public confidence following the first-quarter shutdown and reflect the seasonal weighting of production toward the second half of the year.

The market had already priced in a recovery, with the stock rising from approximately $30 at the end of June to $32.98 prior to the release. The announcement did not provide new financial or cost data, leaving the key risk of AISC sustainability unaddressed.
