Amarc, Freeport announces assay results from AuRORA Deposit drilling

Amarc Resources announced all remaining assay results from the 2025 expansion drilling at the AuRORA Deposit. The AuRORA Deposit hosts high grade near surface, copper-gold-silver mineralization that has exceptional vertical and lateral continuity and remains open to further expansion to the north, east, south and southwest. Amarc believes the rare combination of high grade near surface geometry and emerging scale at AuRORA are the hallmarks of a Tier One asset in the making. Twenty-four core holes, were completed at the AuRORA Deposit in 2025 of which 23 are expansion step-out holes. Eleven of these holes have already been announced and assay data from the remaining 12 expansion holes is provided in this release. These holes show similar host rocks, alteration and mineralization types to those previously reported. Mineralization at AuRORA has now been intercepted over an area of 1.4 km by 0.8 km. “Amarc remains highly focused on disciplined, discovery-driven growth and on advancing its assets in a manner that maximizes the creation of shareholder value,” said Amarc CEO Diane Nicolson. “A year ago, Amarc announced the discovery of the exciting new, high grade near surface, gold-rich AuRORA Deposit in the JOY District. AuRORA has rewritten the exploration playbook in the Toodoggone and stands as one of the most important recent porphyry copper-gold discoveries in British Columbia. With the hallmarks of a Tier One asset in the making, AuRORA is integral to bringing rapidly forward the potential of the JOY District and stands to be the key to the emergence of a world-class porphyry copper-gold district in the Toodoggone.”
