The claim package which is spread over an area of 750km2 at the Silver Vista is considered by the management to hold significant potential for the discovery of important bulk tonnage-style silver-copper deposits.
Amarc has acquired about 720km2 of mineral claims to cover the regions prospective host rocks and geochemical anomalies.
The company has completed about 2,700 line kilometres of helicopter-borne magnetic geophysical surveys, collected some 700 silt geochemical silt samples, 175 rock samples and approximately 6,700 grid soil geochemical samples, over the past few months.
Amarc has also signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% stake in eight mineral claims, comprising approximately 35 square kilometres, internal and adjacent to its Silver Vista property.
Amarc Chairman Bob Dickinson remarked "Results received from Amarc’s comprehensive geophysical and geochemical surveys at Silver Vista are very encouraging.
"With a drill permit already in hand we are scheduling a drill program for the new year to delineate the full extent and geometry of the MR zone where limited historical drilling has intersected broad intervals of silver-copper mineralization."
