Amarc's principal focus is the development of the Newton bulk-tonnage gold target in south-central British Columbia, approximately 110 kilometres southwest of the City of Williams Lake. An initial 2009 drilling program will test a major bulk-tonnage gold mineralization target indicated by historical core drilling. Amarc (80%) and its joint venture partners (20%) hold an extensive land position at Newton, comprising 230 square kilometres of provincial mineral claims.

Amarc has engaged an experienced, multi-disciplinary team of geologists and mining professionals from the Hunter Dickinson group to manage development of the Newton Property.

The company is also carrying out exploration activities on a number of other properties in central BC locations in 2009 - including drilling at the Pinchi porphyry copper-gold and the Bodine zinc-copper-silver volcanogenic massive sulphide targets.

Amarc Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based exploration and development company focused on developing the next major mineral deposit in British Columbia. Amarc is affiliated with the Hunter Dickinson group, a private company associated with a series of successful mineral exploration and development projects in BC -- including Golden Bear, Mt. Milligan, Kemess, Gibraltar and Prosperity.
