Amarc Stakes Copper-Gold Porphyry Deposit Targets in Cariboo Region of British Columbia.Business Editors VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004 Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Amarc Resources Ltd.

He studied rhetoric under Cassius Longinus and philosophy under Plotinus. targets in south-central British Columbia British Columbia, province (2001 pop. 3,907,738), 366,255 sq mi (948,600 sq km), including 6,976 sq mi (18,068 sq km) of water surface, W Canada. Geography . The targets range from early-stage exploration anomalies, recently released as part of a BC government airborne geophysical survey (under the Rocks to Riches program), to intermediate level exploration projects with substantial historical geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Five of the properties (Hook, Jim, Orr, Crystal and Sky) were staked to cover magnetic and/or radiometric anomalies from government airborne surveys in the Cariboo region. Two of these properties (Orr and Crystal) were originally identified by previous work in 1990 to exhibit large aeromagnetic anomalies that are similar in shape and size to anomalies associated with alkaline copper-gold deposits such as Copper Mountain, Mount Polley and Mount Milligan (see British Columbia Government Assessment Reports 20507, 20557). Open-ended induced polarization chargeability anomalies have been established on these two properties by earlier operators, with no record of follow-up on these attractive targets. All five properties are underlain un·der·lain v. Past participle of underlie. by volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the vicinity of intrusive stocks which is the geological setting for the major copper-gold porphyry mines of British Columbia. A sixth property (Spius) is located in the Nicola region near Merritt and covers an extensive (500 m x 600 m) open-ended copper-in-soil anomaly with associated molybdenum molybdenum (məlĭb`dənəm) [Gr.,=leadlike], metallic chemical element; symbol Mo; at. no. 42; at. wt. 95.94; m.p. about 2,617°C;; b.p. about 4,612°C;; sp. gr. 10.22 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, +5, or +6. values. The soil anomaly is located near two large (500 m x 1200 m) induced polarization chargeability anomalies. Very limited previous drilling on the property did not test the copper-in-soil anomaly. Amarc plans to advance these projects to the drill ready stage over the next several months - with drilling expected to follow. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ronald W.
