Amarc is focused on two projects in south-central British Columbia (BC) - the Newton gold project and the Plateau Gold-Copper Belt.
In 2009, the Company made an important gold discovery at Newton. This prospective Property has the potential to host a significant bulk tonnage gold deposit, which may be the first of its type discovered in BC. A comprehensive 2010 exploration program is underway that includes extensive ground surveys to assist in the definition of drill targets. The 2010 drill program is designed to further test the potential of the bulk tonnage gold system. Amarc is earning an 80 per cent interest in the Newton Property and is the operator of the project.
The Plateau Gold-Copper Belt comprises 3,300 square kilometres of provincial mineral claims, 100 per cent owned by Amarc, extending to the north and south of Amarc's Newton gold discovery. The Company's technical team believes the Belt has excellent potential for the discovery of gold-copper porphyry and epithermal gold deposits. Airborne geophysical surveys, followed by target prioritization and extensive ground surveys, are underway to define the best targets for drilling in 2010.
