Amarc Resources has made a significant high-grade copper-gold discovery at its JOY property in British Columbia, marking a potential new exploration success story in the region. The discovery, named AuRORA, showcases impressive grades of gold, copper, and silver, with strong lateral and vertical continuity.
Amarc Resources (TSXV: AHR) (OTCQB: AXREF) announced a significant high-grade copper-gold discovery at its JOY property in the prolific Toodoggone-Kemess porphyry district of central British Columbia . The discovery, named AuRORA, is located at the Northwest Gossan (NWG) target area, marking the potential end of a 15-km mineralized trend. Initial drill results from hole JP24057 showcased impressive grades of gold, copper, and silver: 1.24 g/t gold, 0.38% copper, and 2.
47 g/t silver from a depth of 18 meters. Further results from hole JP24060 confirmed the high-grade nature of the mineralization, with 2.40 g/t gold, 0.61% copper, and 5.33 g/t silver detected from 74 meters.Amarc's technical advisor, Mark Rebagliati, emphasized that the mineralization is both 'clean' and 'well-behaved,' resembling prominent systems found within BC's Toodoggone region. The company highlighted the lateral and vertical continuity of the mineralization, all within a near-surface deposit. CEO Diane Nicolson stated that AuRORA is just one of eight large-scale sulphide mineralization systems identified along multiple trends drilled in 2024 at the JOY property. These systems, including the 2.5-km-long Pine deposit, were discovered through extensive 290 line km of property-wide surveying, with drill results pending.Amarc holds complete ownership of all mineral claims within the 495-sq.-km JOY district and operates all drilling programs. Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) has the option to acquire up to 70% of the JOY project by investing a minimum of $110 million in exploration. The AuRORA discovery is a direct result of the Freeport-funded drilling program, with the US copper miner having spent $33 million on 36,670 meters of drilling by the end of 2024. Amarc is affiliated with Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI), a globally recognized mining group with over three decades of successful mineral development experience. HDI's team in BC boasts a long history of mine development and operation, including legacy projects like the Mt. Milligan mine
