Amarc Expands Exploration at Duke, Begins Drilling New Copper-Gold Targets

Amarc Resources Ltd., in collaboration with Boliden Mineral Canada Ltd., has launched a drilling program at the DUKE Copper-Gold District in central British Columbia. This move extends the company's 2026 exploration program targeting confirmed copper-gold deposits. The program, funded by Boliden, forms part of the DUKE Joint Venture.

Located 80 km northeast of Smithers, the DUKE District covers 808 km² within BC's prolific porphyry copper-gold belt. Previous exploration has expanded the DUKE deposit, which remains open for further growth. Extensive surveys, including geophysics, geochemistry, and LiDAR mapping, have been conducted this year to delineate drill targets.

The drill program aims to evaluate porphyry copper-gold targets defined by recent surveys along the NAK-DUKE magnetic corridor. Significant infrastructure supports exploration in the area, facilitating development.
