[{"type":"text","content":"Amarc Builds on Disruptive AuRORA Discovery Success and Advances Pipeline of High Demand District-Scale Copper-Gold Assets in British Columbia During 2025VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 15, 2026 / Amarc Resources Ltd. (\"Amarc\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF) materially strengthened its position during 2025 as one of Canada's leading copper-gold exploration companies. Continued discovery success built on a foundation of systematic and informed exploration across the JOY, DUKE and IKE Copper-Gold Districts validates Amarc's district-scale exploration model. This is being accomplished at JOY and DUKE while preserving significant shareholder leverage through staged, non-dilutive funding under joint venture agreements with major mining companies to secure up to $200 million in funding, of which approximately $81 million has been received so far.

Twenty-three step-out deposit expansion holes over an area of approximately 1 km by 1 km, and a single infill hole were drilled in 2025. Assay results for 11 of the expansion holes announced to date and drilled along four sections indicate that the deposit has been expanded at least 300 m to the north, 200 m to the east and 300 m to the southeast (see Amarc...
