AMARC'S FOCUSED SEARCH CONTINUES FOR
MAJOR NEW GRASSROOT DISCOVERIES IN BC
December
16, 2004, Vancouver, BC -
Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture:
AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) announces that Amarc is continuing to operate an aggressive
grassroots exploration program to explore for new, major gold and copper-gold
deposits in British Columbia.
To date, Amarc has acquired by option and staking 21 separate properties
located throughout British Columbia, totaling 3,189 claim units covering
797 square kilometres. Currently, five separate geophysical crews are conducting
induced polarization (IP) and magnetic surveys to define drill targets on
a number of these prospective properties. Three diamond drill rigs have
been mobilized to test the targets that have been developed. The program
is being directed by Amarc's qualified person, C.M. Rebagliati, P.Eng.,
as well as other members of Hunter Dickinson's management and senior
staff, a team with a track record of making significant mineral deposit
discoveries.
After a short Christmas break, exploration work is expected to continue
through 2005 as Amarc advances its focused effort to discover major new
mineral deposits in British Columbia.
