Remobilization Of Exploration Team To Duke Porphyry Copper Gold District
VANCOUVER - Amarc Resources Ltd. (Amarc) has commenced a staged remobilization of its exploration team to the Duke porphyry Cu-Au district in central British Columbia ("BC"). Extensive airborne and ground exploration surveys will assess 16 prioritized porphyry Cu-Au targets across the District to define targets for winter 2023-2024 drill testing.
"Barely five weeks after completing demobilization from the winter Duke Deposit delineation drilling program following an early snow melt, our crews are back out in the field commencing geophysical, geochemical and geological surveys to define additional high potential targets for drill testing," said President & CEO Diane Nicolson. "Additionally, Amarc was pleased earlier this month to welcome several members of Boliden's senior management team from Sweden to the site. The in-person property review and discussions that took place further strengthened the partnership and exchange of discovery expertise.”
Exploration works, including airborne magnetics and ground Induced Polarization geophysical, soils geochemistry and mapping surveys have been initiated to explore the 16 prioritized porphyry Cu-Au deposit targets. These highly prospective target areas were selected based on a comprehensive compilation of government and historical exploration data from over the entire 678 km2 District. The study highlighted the surprisingly low exploration maturity of the productive Babine porphyry Cu-Au region, and provided a new interpretation of its geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics.
