[{"type":"text","content":"Amarc Provides Details of Exceptional Cu-Au Deposit Targets at Empress and Greater Empress, British ColumbiaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2021 / Amarc Resources Ltd. (\"Amarc\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF) is pleased to provide details on the expansion potential of the high grade Empress Cu-Au-Ag deposit, and surrounding Greater Empress area. The Greater Empress area is a sizable subarea of Amarc's extensive 100% owned IKE Cu and Au district, and is located 6 km north of the Company's substantive IKE porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag discovery. A comprehensive review by Amarc's technical team of historical data throughout the Greater Empress area (Figure 1) has unlocked a high potential for the discovery of substantial intrusion-related replacement and porphyry Cu-Au±Mo-Ag deposits centered on the Empress deposit.The 2020 IKE Project Technical Report (the \"Report\") provides additional details on the Empress Deposit and the entire Greater Empress area. The Report is available on Amarc's website at www.amarcresources.com/ahr/Home.asp and under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.The Empress Cu-Au-Ag replacement deposit is a significant body of mineralization, characterized from historical drilling by its common high grade intersections and relatively good vertical and lateral grade continuity. These features support the strong potential for discovery of new high grade extensions to the deposit. Important potential exits for a well-planned core drilling program to expand the mineralization which remains open. Table 1 provides selected historical drill intercepts for the Empress deposit and Figures 3 and 4 show cross sections through the mineralization.In addition to the Empress deposit, the 35 km2 Greater Empress area includes seven identified compelling porphyry and replacement-style Cu-Au±Mo±Ag deposit and exploration targets. The deposit targets include, Empress East, Empress Gap, Granite and Buzzer, and the earlier-stage exploration targets include Empress West. Each are discussed below with selected historical drill results provided in Tables 2 and 3. These targets are either not fully drill delineated or have been tested only by shallow, widely-spaced historical reconnaissance percussion drilling: and can with focused exploration be brought to a drill ready status. Amarc has a permit for up to 30...
