Amarc holds a 100% interest in the 722 km2 DUKE Cu-Au District (DUKE District), located 80 km NE of Smithers in central British Columbia (BC). The Duke District hosts the DUKE Deposit, which is open to expansion, and a series of deposit-scale exploration targets.
DUKE District
- Located within the Babine Region (Babine), one of BC’s most prolific porphyry Cu-Au belts
- The Babine includes Noranda Mines’ past producing Bell and Granisle Cu-Au mines and the advanced stage Morrison Cu-Au deposit
- DUKE’s combination of known deposits and compelling exploration targets indicates new district potential
- Extensive transportation and power infrastructure has been developed in the Babine to service forestry and historic mining activity
