Amarc's Aurora and Emerging Copper-Gold Systems: A Strategic Opportunity in Collaboration with Freeport

Amarc Resources Ltd. ("Amarc") has recently announced more drill results from the Aurora deposit and three emerging copper-gold systems at the Joy District, in collaboration with Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. ("Freeport"). These discoveries highlight Amarc's strategic focus on developing high-value copper-gold assets and its successful partnership with Freeport. This article will explore the significance of these new findings and their impact on Amarc's long-term growth prospects.



The latest drill results from the Aurora deposit and the three emerging copper-gold systems at the Joy District have revealed promising mineralization, with high-grade intervals such as 130 meters of 2.40 g/t gold and 0.61% copper, and another of 192 meters containing 0.52 g/t gold and 0.25% copper. These grades, combined with the lateral and vertical continuity of the mineralization, make the Aurora deposit highly sought after by copper and gold producers. Moreover, the deposit is open to expansion in all horizontal directions and is near surface, which can lead to lower development costs and faster production timelines.



Amarc's collaboration with Freeport is strategically significant for the development of the Joy District. Freeport is fully funding work programs at JOY to earn an interest in the project, allowing Amarc to advance the exploration and development of the district without diluting its shareholders. This financial support enables Amarc to operate three core rigs simultaneously, aggressively drilling and systematically stepping out to outline and confirm the high-grade potential of the Cu-Au-Ag deposit. Freeport's expertise and experience in porphyry copper-gold deposits complement Amarc's team, which has a proven track record in BC and the Toodoggone region. Together, they aim to focus on discovery and make significant progress at JOY.

The Joy District hosts several important-scale sulphide mineralized systems clustered along several mineralized trends. The Aurora deposit is just one of these systems, and additional results from the 2024 drill program are expected to be forthcoming. Amarc's collaboration with Freeport increases the likelihood of further discoveries and the successful development of the district. The positive market sentiment for gold, copper, and silver, combined with Amarc's impressive new high-grade porphyry copper-gold-silver discovery, increases the attractiveness of Amarc as an investment opportunity.

In conclusion, Amarc's latest drill results from the Aurora deposit and three emerging copper-gold systems at the Joy District, in collaboration with Freeport, align with the company's investment philosophy focusing on fundamentals and long-term performance. The high grades, continuity, near-surface mineralization, and potential for further discoveries, combined with the strategic partnership with Freeport, position Amarc well for the future. As Amarc continues to explore and develop the highly prospective Joy District, investors should keep a close eye on this promising copper-gold play.
