Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) Prepares To Drill Major Target at Its Hubble Project, Near Blackwater, British Columbia


January 18, 2012 - Vancouver, BC - Amarc Resources Ltd. (“Amarc” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: AHR; OTCBB: AXREF) is pleased to announce that an Induced Polarization (IP) ground geophysical survey has delineated a significant chargeability anomaly with excellent potential to represent an important sulphide system at its 100% owned Hubble Project, south-central British Columbia. The 140 square kilometre Hubble property lies within the emergent Blackwater gold district.
Amarc initiated a regional program at Hubble in 2011, undertaking approximately 370 line kilometres of helicopter-borne, magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical surveying from which epithermal gold-silver and gold-copper porphyry-type targets were identified for field follow-up.
An IP ground geophysical survey has identified an important target over three square kilometres in extent. Drill permit applications have been submitted to the provincial government in order to test this new target for potential gold and/or copper deposits. Amarc plans to drill test the target when permits are received.
