Amarc updates delineation drilling at the Newton gold discovery

18.06.2012  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, June 18, 2012 /CNW/ - Amarc Resources Ltd. ("Amarc" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) announces assay results from a further 20 delineation drill holes completed at the Newton gold discovery, south-central British Columbia.  The new results from the Newton bulk tonnage gold system bring the total number of holes with important gold intercepts to 67.  Delineation drilling of the Newton gold discovery commenced in late September 2011 and has progressed rapidly, with the completion of approximately 16,000 metres in 45 diamond drill holes (holes 11044 to 12088).  Total drilling of the Newton deposit is now approximately 23,300 metres in 72 holes.

Results from the 20 new delineation holes within the deposit are summarized in the Table of Assay Results below. Significant new intercepts include 204 metres at 0.71 g/t gold and 3 metres at 21.10 g/t gold in holes 82 and 84, respectively.  A drill plan and other information regarding the Newton Project are available on Amarc's website: http://www.amarcresources.com/i/ahr/maps/AHR_NR_Jun2012_large.jpg.  The results from three additional drill holes (12086 to 12088) are pending.

1.Gold equivalent calculations use metal prices of Au US$1200/oz and Ag US$20/oz.
 Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%.
2.All holes are vertical, except for holes 12072, 12074 and 12080
3.Widths reported are drill widths, such that true thicknesses are unknown.
 All assay intervals represent length weighted averages.

As reported in the Amarc news release of May 31, 2012 drilling activities on the project have now been placed on standby, so that all assay results and information from on-going geological studies can be compiled and a resource estimate for the Newton deposit completed.

Permits for an extensive Induced Polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey and additional drilling have been received. Two crews have been mobilized to the Newton site to commence IP geophysical surveys around the Newton discovery.

The Newton property is located some 100 kilometres west of the City of Williams Lake, BC, in a region characterized by gently rolling hills.  The district is well served by existing transportation and power infrastructure and a skilled workforce, which support a number of operating mines, as well as late-stage mineral development and exploration projects. Newton is also located approximately 175 kilometres south of New Gold's Blackwater gold deposit (Indicated Resources of 174 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.98 g/t gold containing 5.5 million gold ounces; and Inferred Resource of 92 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.78 g/t gold containing 2.3 million gold ounces; New Gold news release March 7, 2012).

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Sample preparation and analysis for the Newton project is done at ISO 9001:2008 accredited, and ISO-IEC 17025:2005 accredited for gold fire assay with gravimetric finish, Acme Analytical Laboratories (Vancouver) Ltd. All samples are assayed for gold by 30 g lead collection fire assay fusion with Inductively Coupled Plasma ‐ Emission Spectroscopy (ICP‐ES) finish. Silver and 33 additional elements are determined for all samples by Aqua Regia digestion, followed by ICP‐ES and ICP Mass Spectroscopy (ICP‐MS) finish. All over‐limit gold (greater than 10 g/t) are re‐assayed by 30 g lead collection fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. As part of a comprehensive QA/QC program, one standard and one preparation duplicate are inserted into the sample stream in each group of 20 samples, as well as one or more field blanks in each analytical batch.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor any other regulatory authority accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
