Amarc Makes Important New Gold Discovery in South-Central British Columbia
 
December 8, 2009, Vancouver, BC - Amarc Resources Ltd. (“Amarc” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: AHR, OTCBB: AXREF) announces a significant new gold discovery at its Newton Project located within the Chilcotin region of south-central British Columbia (BC). Assay results from the first seven holes of an initial 14-hole diamond drill program have been received and they host significant concentrations of bulk tonnage-style gold, silver, copper and zinc.  These results indicate that the Newton property may host both a previously unrecognized gold district and a new deposit type in BC.  The remaining seven holes drilled in the initial program are in for assay and results will be reported when they are received.
 
"Through careful examination of historical drill core and remodelling of both existing geological data and information received from the recent drill campaign, Amarc's technical team has made an important new gold discovery in the province of British Columbia,” said Amarc Chairman Bob Dickinson.  "The grade and continuity of mineralization as it is known today indicates that Newton represents a major gold mineralized system that could host an important open-pit style deposit.  Dickinson said, "Amarc is planning an expanded drill program at Newton to begin as early as possible in 2010, with the goal of delineating Newton's bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization"…
