Amarc, Freeport continue to expand AuRORA copper-gold-silver deposity

Amarc Resources announced further assay results from the 2025 drilling program which was primarily designed to expand the AuRORA Deposit hosted within the 630 km2 JOY District. Drilling at Aurora in 2024 discovered high grade near surface copper-gold-silver mineralization with exceptional vertical and lateral continuity. Amarc believes the discovery of AuRORA is potentially key to the emergence of a world-class porphyry Cu-Au district in the Toodoggone. Twenty-four drill holes were completed at the AuRORA Deposit in 2025: 23 of these are expansion step-out holes drilled over an area of 1 km by 1 km. Assay results from six drill holes completed on Sections 8000N and 8100N announced have expanded AuRORA +200 m to the north. The deposit remains open to further expansion to the north, east and west of Section 8000N and 8100N, with assay data pending from additional 2025 drill holes located further to the north. This northern extension to the deposit is in addition to partial assay results from AuRORA hole JP25098 announced in September that expand the deposit approximately 300 m to the southeast. Host rocks, alteration and mineralization remain consistent with that encountered in the 2024 AuRORA discovery drill holes. Assay results are now being received from the total 35 holes drilled in 2025 across the JOY District. Results are planned to be released in regular batches going forward. Highlights from AuRORA Deposit Discovery Drill Holes on Sections 8000N and 8100N Include: 126 m of 0.97 g/t Au, 0.32% Cu and 4.8 g/t Ag including 61 m of 1.24 g/t Au, 0.47% Cu and 7.8 g/t Ag; 231 m of 0.83 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu and 2.3 g/t Ag including 141 m of 1.11 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu and 3.0 g/t Ag; 154 m of 0.79 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu and 4.1 g/t Ag including 60 m of 1.58 g/t Au, 0.45% Cu and 6.7 g/t Ag; 75 m of 0.71 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu and 2.4 g/t Ag; 200 m of 0.70 g/t Au, 0.24% Cu and 1.8 g/t Ag including 143 m of 0.86 g/t Au, 0.28% Cu and 2.0 g/t Ag; 204 m of 0.74 g/t Au, 0.28% Cu and 3.9 g/t Ag including 51 m of 1.51 g/t Au, 0.53% Cu and 6.5 g/t Ag.
