AMARC EXPLORATION UPDATE
NEW MASSIVE SULPHIDE TARGET DISCOVERED AT HUGE SOUTH
November 24, 2008, Vancouver, BC - Amarc Resources
Ltd. ("Amarc" or the "Company") (TSX-V: AHR, OTCBB:
AXREF) reports on its new Huge South copper-zinc drill target. Huge South
is located in south central British Colu mbia, approximately 150 kilometers
northeast of the City of Smithers. The property is situated within the highly
prospective Sitlika Copper-Zinc Belt, which has significant potential for
the discovery of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits.
Encouraging results continue to be received from exploration at Huge
South. The property is underlain by a thick pile of felsic volcanic
rocks that extend over at least eight kilometers and are a classic host
for VMS type mineralization. The target was identified by a geochemical
sampling program (comprised of silt and stream bank soil samples) in 2007.
Additional soil samples collected over a grid in 2008 returned highly anomalous
results, extending almost five kilometers in length (see attached figure).
Anomalous gold and zinc concentrations are associated with the copper anomaly.
Recent geophysical results further highlight the target. An initial, 6-line
kilometer long induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey shows a northwest
trending chargeability high that is broadly coincident with the copper soil
anomaly. A drilling program is being planned to test this high priority
target in the 2009 field season.
Analytical results have also been received from the diamond drilling program
at Amarc's 100%-owned Aspira property. Aspira is located near
the southern end of the Sitlika Belt. The 2,300-meter drilling program was
designed to test three distinct targets, defined by geochemical, IP and
airborne geophysical anomalies, over 11 kilometers of the Belt (see maps
at www.amarcresources.com). Drill results confirmed the permissive nature
of the geological environment for VMS mineralization. Anomalous concentrations
of zinc and copper were intersected; however, no economic mineralization
was encountered.
The 2008 field program for the Sitlika Belt has been concluded. Approximately
20,000 soil and 500 silt and rock geochemical samples were collected; 80
line-kilometers of induced polarization and over 1,000 line-kilometers of
helicopter-borne AeroTem II magnetic geophysical surveys and approximately
4,600 meters of diamond drilling were completed. The information received
from this extensive program is now under compilation and review.
Amarc Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based exploration and development company,
focused on making the next major new mineral deposit discovery in the province
of British Columbia. Amarc is affiliated with Hunter Dickinson Services
Inc., the personnel and management of which have enjoyed considerable success
in BC through their involvement with the Golden Bear, Mt. Milligan, Kemess,
Prosperity, Gibraltar and Harmony deposits. Hunter Dickinson expects to
further its B.C. success through Amarc.
