AMARC CLOSES $5.5 MILLION
FINANCING
January 15, 2010, Vancouver, BC - Amarc Resources
Ltd. ("Amarc") (TSX Venture: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) announces that, further
to its news releases of December 18 and 23, 2009, it has completed the $5.5
million private placement financing and issued 11 million common shares at
a price of $0.50 per share (of which 4.8 million common shares are flow-through
shares). The common shares are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable
Canadian securities legislation.
Late in 2009 Amarc discovered the Newton bulk tonnage-style gold system in
south-central British Columbia ("BC"). Newton may represent a new
gold deposit type for BC within a previously unrecognized district. Planning
and permitting for a 2010 drill campaign along with surface and airborne exploration
activities is currently underway.
Amarc also holds, through staking and option agreement, an area of approximately
217 square kilometres along the Sitlika Belt in north-central British Columbia.
Exploration in 2007-2008 identified a number of promising zinc and/or copper
dominated volcanogenic massive sulphide targets. Exploration activities in
2009, including diamond drilling, tested three main areas the Bodine-Warren,
Huge South and Olsen prospects. Following assessment of the results, Amarc
has taken the decision to suspend exploration at and relinquish its land holdings
in the Sitlika Belt, in order to focus its efforts on the important new discovery
at Newton.
Amarc Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based exploration and development company
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.
