AMARC TO ACQUIRE MAJOR GOLD-COPPER
PORPHYRY DEPOSIT TARGET

May 10, 2004, Vancouver, BC - Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Amarc Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture:AHR) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an option agreement with the Iskut North Syndicate to acquire a 100% interest in the Wolverine gold-copper porphyry property located in northern British Columbia. Amarc can acquire its interest by making staged cash payments totalling $225,000 and issuing 450,000 common shares over four years. The first option payment of $15,000 and 30,000 shares is due upon approval by the appropriate regulatory bodies. The property is also subject to a 2% NSR, which Amarc, at its option, can purchase for $2.0 million.
 
The 64 square kilometre Wolverine property is situated along the Golden Bear Mine road, 40 kilometres northwest of the community of Telegraph Creek. It covers a large-scale gold-copper porphyry target in a geologic setting similar to that which hosts the Galore Creek deposit (Indicated Resource of 286 million tonnes, grading 0.73% copper and 0.44 g/t gold, containing 4.6 billion pounds copper and 4 million ounces gold, cut-off grade 0.5% CuEq - Novagold Resources Inc., News Release, May 5, 2004) and the Red Chris deposit (Measured and Indicated Resource of 236 million tonnes, grading 0.46% copper and 0.37 g/t gold, containing 2.4 billion pounds copper and 2.8 million ounces gold, cut-off grade 0.3% Cu - bcMetals Corporation, News Release, January 19, 2004).
 
Past work on the Wolverine Property has identified a very extensive gold and copper, soil geochemical anomaly which measures 4700 metres long and up to 2100 metres wide. This major target is associated with a large regional airborne magnetic high and a favourable intrusive contact in an area of almost no outcrop exposure. The gold-copper soil anomaly, which was identified during the course of a 1990 reconnaissance style soil sampling program (samples taken every 300 metres on lines spaced 200 metres apart), was largely ignored as the emphasis at that time was on high-grade gold targets similar to the nearby Golden Bear Mine. Limited prospecting associated with the soil surveys noted finely disseminated pyrite in volcanic rocks and pyrite, chalcopyrite and magnetite in intrusive rocks, all of which are highly indicative of a gold-copper porphyry setting.
 
Amarc plans to conduct an aggressive exploration program consisting of approximately 200 line kilometres of geochemical grids and 100 line kilometres of geophysical surveys (induced polarization and magnetics) to rapidly advance this significant yet untested major gold-copper target to the drill stage. Drilling is expected to follow.
