Amarc Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements |
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 |
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
| |
| Amarc Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Amarc") is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, and its principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Its principal mineral property interests are located in British Columbia ("BC"). The address of the Company's corporate office is 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4H1. |
| |
| These condensed interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and its ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its capacity to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain additional financial resources or will achieve profitability or positive cash flows. Management believes that its current liquid assets are sufficient to meet all current obligations and to maintain its mineral rights in good standing in the foreseeable future. These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
| |
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| |
| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. |

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2014. Results for the period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Company, other than in note 2(c), in its most recent annual financial statements which are filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com. |

| |

| |
(a) | Ike Property |
| |
| The Ike property is located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Gold Bridge, British Columbia. |
| |
| Option Agreement |
| |
| On December 10, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Ike Option Agreement”) with Oxford Resources Inc. (“Oxford”) in respect of the Ike property, whereby Amarc had an option to acquire an 80% ownership interest in the property by making cash payments totaling $125,000, issuing 300,000 common shares, and by incurring $1,855,697 in exploration expenditures on or before November 30, 2015. |

Amarc Resources Ltd. |
Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements |
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 |
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) |
In July 2014, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Ike Option Agreement was amended. Oxford assigned all of its interest in the Ike property (and the underlying option agreement with respect to the Ike property) to Amarc, and converted its ownership interest in the Ike property to a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty (capped at total payments of $2,000,000) in consideration of a $40,000 cash payment. Consequently, Amarc now has the right to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the Ike property from two private third parties (formerly the underlying owners and now the “Optionors”) by making a cash payment of $40,000, issuing 100,000 common shares, and by incurring $1,855,697 in exploration expenditures before November 30, 2015.
As at June 30, 2014, the Company had incurred approximately $188,000 in exploration expenditures on the Ike property.
Amarc has further agreed that, upon completion of a positive feasibility study, Amarc will issue 500,000 common shares in total to the Optionors.
Royalties
Oxford’s 1% NSR royalty can be purchased at any time for $2 million (payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc’s discretion).
The Optionors retain a 2% NSR royalty. Amarc has the right to purchase half of the royalty (1%) for $2 million ($1 million of which is payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion) at any time prior to commercial production. Amarc also has the right to purchase the remaining half of the royalty (1%) for $2 million (of which $1 million is payable in cash, and the remainder in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion) prior to December 31, 2018.
Minimum advance royalty payments of $25,000 (payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion) are due to the Optionors annually commencing on December 31, 2015.
(b) | Silver Vista Property |
| |
| The Silver Vista Property is located approximately 55 kilometres northeast of Smithers, British Columbia. |
| |
| In July 2012, Amarc acquired a 100% interest in the approximately 30 square kilometre Silver Vista (MR Zone) property for $800,000 cash. The mineral claims purchased are subject to an underlying 2% NSR royalty, of which 1% can be acquired by Amarc for $1 million, and thereafter the remaining 1% NSR royalty is subject to a right of first refusal. |

The Company entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Galore Resources Inc. ("Galore Resources"), whereby the Company acquired the right to earn an initial 51% ownership interest in the Galore property by incurring $3 million in exploration expenditures within five years ($1,500,000 of which may be in recordable assessment credits not directly incurred on the property), and by making staged cash payments up to a maximum of $450,000 (50% of which may be payable in Amarc common shares).
