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 northern, central and southern BC, respectively. Each
District represents significant potential for the development of multiple and important-scale,
porphyry Cu±Au deposits. Importantly, each of the three districts are located in proximity to
industrial infrastructure - including power, highways and rail.
Amarc's exploration is led by an internationally successful team of experienced geologists
specializing in porphyry Cu-Au deposits. Members of this team have been involved in and have
tracked porphyry Cu-Au exploration advancements in the Toodoggone region since 1990. Their
experience and early recognition of the porphyry potential at the NWG Target in terms of a
shallowly overburden covered and underexplored transitional epithermal-porphyry geological
setting, led to the discovery of the Au-rich AuRORA porphyry Cu-Au-Ag Deposit.
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 each 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 for these Districts. In addition, Amarc has completed self-funded
drilling at its higher-grade Empress Deposit in the IKE District. Amarc is the operator of
all programs.
Amarc is associated with HDI, a diversified, global mining company with a 35-year history of
porphyry Cu deposit discovery, development and transaction 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, AuRORA, PINE, IKE 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 partnerships 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.
