Amarc holds a 100% interest in the 532 km2 IKE Cu-Au district (IKE District), located 35 km NW of Gold Bridge in south-central British Columbia (BC). The IKE District hosts two known deposits open for drill expansion and multiple deposit-scale targets ready for drill discovery.
IKE District
- Proximal to the heartland of Canada’s Cu production at the Valley, New Afton and Gibraltar mines
- Characteristics of productive porphyry districts around the globe that host major (and multiple) Cu±Au±Mo±Ag deposits
- The combination of known deposits and compelling deposit targets indicates IKE’s clear potential to be an important new BC mining camp
- Proximal to industrial infrastructure, power, highways and rail connecting to major BC ports
Project Highlights
- Amarc’s consolidated mineral tenure hosts:
- the IKE Cu-Mo-Ag Deposit, discovered in 2014 by Amarc and expanded through exploration to 2018
- the historical Empress higher grade Cu-Au Deposit at which Amarc's exploration in 2024:
- successfully confirmed high Cu-Au tenor in historical drilling, and potential for expansion
- other Cu-Au deposit targets within the Greater Empress Area
- multiple Cu-Au±Mo±Ag deposit and exploration targets across the District
- 100% owned, with no or limited underlying royalties
- Leveraged millions of dollars of historical exploration data, augmented by modern geological programs and analyses
