Boliden, Amarc prepare for 2024 drilling program at Duke Copper-Gold District

Amarc Resources announced that preparations have commenced with Boliden Mineral Canada, for an extensive 2024 drilling program at its 100% owned DUKE Copper-Gold District in central British Columbia. As part of the budgeted $10 million expenditure on the 722 km2 DUKE District in 2024, drilling is planned to commence at site in February. The program will be fully funded by Boliden, which is earning-in at DUKE. Amarc will continue as operator of the project. rilling will initially focus on the DUKE Deposit and the surrounding DUKE Target area, following up on positive results from the 11,086 m drill program completed in 2022-2023. The 2022-2023 drilling successfully expanded the DUKE Deposit porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag-Au system laterally to a footprint of 650 m north-south by 800 m east-west and to a depth of at least 600 m. These successful results also highlighted the potential for further expansion of the Deposit, and for the delineation of zones of higher grade within it. In addition, encouraging intercepts from initial, widely spaced drilling in the robust 4.7 km2 Induced Polarization chargeability anomaly that surrounds the DUKE Deposit and forms the DUKE Target, suggest additional discovery potential warranting follow up drill testing.
