AMARC APPOINTS DR. JAMES LANG AS TECHNICAL ADVISOR FURTHER STRENGTHENING ITS TEAM
November 16, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AHR; OTCQB: AXREF) (Amarc
or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. James Lang, P.Geo., as a technical advisor to
the Company.
Amarc President and CEO Dr. Diane Nicolson said, “I am delighted to re-engage with Jim and welcome him to the
team as a technical advisor. His passion for mentoring geological teams, coupled with his impressive depth of
knowledge and background in porphyry copper deposits will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the
Company as we build towards an exciting and drill forward 2024. Jim’s input further strengthens the team’s track
record for the discovery and advancement of porphyry copper deposits.”
Dr. Lang has 40 years of global experience, providing consulting services to numerous junior and major exploration
and mining companies, and working in about 30 countries on a wide variety of mineral deposit types and stages
of exploration and/or development. He has also conducted extensive research into porphyry copper and related
deposits, beginning at the University of Arizona where he received his PhD in 1991. Later as a research associate
with the Mineral Deposit Research Unit at the University of British Columbia Dr. Lang led multi-year, industry-
funded, applied research projects which developed widely utilized exploration models for alkalic copper -gold
porphyry deposits in British Columbia.
Dr. Lang also spent some 16 years with Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI), leading the technical teams on several projects
that encompassed early exploration programs through completion of positive feasibility studies, and was highly
involved in major porphyry discoveries at Pebble (Alaska) and Xietongmen (Tibet ). In addition, Amarc benefited
from his expertise in porphyry copper and related deposits during this time through his studies in the IKE District.
About Amarc Resources Ltd.
Amarc is a mineral exploration and development company with an experienced and successful management team
focused on developing a new generation of long-life, high-value porphyry Cu-Au mines in BC. By combining high-
demand projects with dynamic management , Amarc has created a solid platform to create value from its
exploration and development-stage assets.
Amarc is advancing its 100% -owned JOY, DUKE and IKE porphyry Cu±Au districts located in different prolific
porphyry regions of southern, central and northern BC, respectively. Each district represents significant potential
for the development of multiple and important -scale, porphyry Cu±Au deposits. Impor tantly, each of the three
districts is located in proximity to industrial infrastructure – including power, highways and rail.
Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. (“Freeport”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Freeport -
McMoRan Inc. at JOY and Boliden Mineral Canada Ltd. (“Boliden”), an entity within the Boliden Group of
companies at DUKE, can earn up to a 70% interest in e ach District through staged investments of $110 million
and $90 million, respectively. Together this provides Amarc with potentially up to $200 million in non -share
dilutive staged funding. Amarc is the operator of both programs.
Amarc is associated with HDI, a diversified, global mining company with a 35 -year history of porphyry Cu deposit
discovery and development success. Previous and current HDI projects include some of BC’s and the world’s most
important porphyry deposits – such as Pebble, Mount Milligan, Southern Star, Kemess South, Kemess North,
Gibraltar, Prosperity, Xietongmen, Newtongmen, Florence, Casino, Sisson, Maggie, IKE, PINE and DUKE. From its
head office in Vancouver, Canada, HDI applies its unique strengths and capabilities to acquire, develop, operate
and monetize mineral projects.
Amarc works closely with local governments, Indigenous groups and stakeholders in order to advance its mineral
projects responsibly, and in a manner that contributes to sustainable community and economic development. We
pursue early and meaningful engagement to ensure our mineral exploration and development activities are well
coordinated and broadly supported, address local priorities and concerns, and optimize opportunities for
collaboration. In particular, we seek to establish mutually beneficial partn erships with Indigenous groups within
whose traditional territories our projects are located, through the provision of jobs, training programs, contract
opportunities, capacity funding agreements and sponsorship of community events. All Amarc work programs are
carefully planned to achieve high levels of environmental and social performance.
