AMARC COMPLETES
$500,000 FINANCING
BC EXPLORATION UPDATE
February 20, 2009, Vancouver, BC - Amarc Resources
Ltd. ("Amarc" or the "Company") (TSXV: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF)
announces that, further to its press release dated December 19, 2008, the
Company has completed the previously announced private placement financing
and has issued 5,000,000 equity units (the "Units") at a price of
$0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $500,000. Each Unit consists of a flow-through
common share and a non-flow-through warrant (a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant is exercisable to purchase an additional common share at a price
of $0.10 for a 24 month period. The Units are subject to a four month hold
period under applicable Canadian securities legislation.
Proceeds from the offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenses.
Amarc also reports that analytical results have been received from the diamond
drilling program at the Bodine-Warren property located in the central area
of the highly prospective Sitlika Copper-Zinc Belt, near Fort St. James,
British Columbia. The 2,241-meter diamond drill program was designed to
test targets defined by strong copper and zinc, with associated silver and
lead, soil anomalies and induced polarisation geophysical signatures, over
a 2,000 meters by 700 meter area. Drilling intercepted thick sequences of
favourable felsic volcanic rocks confirming the favourable geological environment
for volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation. Strong rock alteration
was found associated with significant intervals of disseminated to stringer-like
zones of sulphide mineralisation that returned strongly anomalous zinc and
copper values. However, no economic mineralisation was encountered.
Amarc Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based exploration and development company.
In recent times Amarc has been focused on early stage exploration with
efforts primarily directed towards making the next major new mineral deposit
discovery within B.C. Amarc has also recently expanded its search, evaluating
proposals from favorable mining jurisdictions around the world. Amarc is
affiliated with Hunter Dickinson Services Inc., the personnel and management
of which have enjoyed considerable success both in B.C. Examples of successful
projects world-wide include Golden Bear, Mt. Milligan, Kemess, Prosperity,
Gibraltar, Pebble, Xietongmen, Campo Morado and Burnstone.
Mark Rebagliati, P.Eng., a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument
43-101, is supervising the exploration and quality assurance and quality
control programs on behalf of Amarc and has reviewed the content of this
release.
