AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Amarc Resources Ltd.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Amarc Resources Ltd. as at March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended March 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended March 31, 2005 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.

AMARC RESOURCES LTD.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
   
Amarc Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) 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.
   
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles assuming a going concern. 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. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
   
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
   
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Compania Minera Amarc, S.A. de C.V. and Amarc Exploraciones Mineras, S.A. de C.V., both of which are incorporated in Mexico. Also included are the accounts of the Precious Exploration Limited Partnership, which is subject to the Company’s control and primary beneficial ownership.
   
3.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Cash and equivalents
   
Cash and equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
   
(b) Marketable securities
   
Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost and estimated fair value.
   
(c) Equipment
   
Equipment is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life using the declining balance method at various rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(d)
Reclamation deposits
   
Reclamation deposits are recorded at cost and are included in amounts receivable and prepaids.
   
(e)
Mineral property interests
   
The acquisition costs of mineral properties are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated useful life of the related properties following the commencement of production or written off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when an impairment has been determined to have occurred. If the deferred mineral property costs are determined not to be recoverable over the estimated useful life or are less than estimated fair market value, the unrecoverable portion is charged to operations in that period.
   
Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair market value of common shares, based on the trading price of the shares, on the date of issue or as otherwise provided under the agreement terms for the mineral property interest. Costs for properties for which the Company does not possess unrestricted ownership and exploration rights, such as option agreements, are expensed in the period incurred or until a feasibility study has determined that the property is capable of commercial production.
   
Exploration costs and option payments are expensed in the period incurred. Option payments which are solely at the Company’s discretion are recorded as they are made.
   
Administrative expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.
   
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).
   
The Company also reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(f)
Government grants
   
Due to the uncertainty of the approval of government grants for which the Company applies, government grants are recorded as and when the proceeds of these grants are received.
   
(g)
Share capital
   
Common shares issued for mineral property interests are recorded at the fair market value based upon the trading price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of issue or as otherwise provided under the agreement terms to issue the shares.
   
The proceeds from common shares issued pursuant to flow-through share financing agreements are credited to share capital as the tax benefits of the exploration expenditures incurred pursuant to these agreements are transferred to the purchaser of the flow-through shares.
   
Share issue costs are deducted from share capital.
   
(h)
Stock-based compensation
   
Pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments,” the Company commenced recording non-cash stock-based payments to employees using the fair value method on a prospective basis effective April 1, 2003. Prior to April 1, 2003, no compensation cost was required to be recorded for all other non-cash stock-based employee compensation awards. There has been no effect on any prior periods presented.
   
The Company accounts for all non-cash stock-based payments to non-employees, and employee awards that are direct awards of shares, that call for settlement in cash or other assets, or that are share appreciation rights which call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, using the fair value method.
   
Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of non-cash stock-based payments is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. The cost of non-cash stock-based payments to service providers that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date. For awards that vest at the end of a vesting period, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis; for awards that vest on a graded basis, compensation cost is recognized on a pro- rata basis over the vesting period.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Consideration received by the Company upon the exercise of share purchase options, and the stock- based compensation previously credited to contributed surplus related to such options, is credited to share capital.
   
(i)
Use of estimates
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of potential impairments of asset values, and rates for amortization of equipment, as well as the assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
(j)
Foreign currency translation
   
All of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered integrated.
   
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its integrated foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates unless such items are carried at market, in which case they are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses, except amortization, are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Amortization is translated at the same exchange rates as the assets to which it relates. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations.
   
(k)
Income taxes
   
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values, generally using the enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
   
Future income tax assets also result from unused loss carryforwards and other deductions. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.
   
The Company’s accounting policy for future income taxes currently has no effect on the consolidated financial statements of any of the periods presented.

(l)
Loss per share
   
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
   
Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
   
(m)
Fair value of financial instruments
   
The carrying values of cash and equivalents, amounts receivable and prepaids, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. The fair value of balances receivable from related parties is not readily determinable due to the related party nature of these amounts and the absence of a secondary market for such instruments. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk or interest rate risk.
   
Warrants received by the Company pursuant to certain private placement and option agreements described in note 4 and note 6 are classified as derivative financial instruments and are recorded on the balance sheet as marketable securities and at estimated fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument are charged to operations if the instrument does not qualify as a hedge, or to the balance sheet, if it does qualify as a hedge. The Company has not designated any of its warrants as a hedging instrument.
   
(n)
Comparative figures
   
Certain of the prior years’ comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for the current year.

Buck Property
   
In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the Buck mineral property. The 4,750 hectare Buck property, located 20 kilometers south of Houston, was acquired from United Mineral Services Ltd., a private company owned by a director of the Company, by reimbursing the $65,929 cost of staking the property, line cutting to establish a survey grid over it and by performing an induced polarization geophysical survey on the property.
   
On July 9, 2004, the Company reached an option agreement with Chatworth Resources Inc. (“Chatworth”) (then, GMD Resource Corp.) pursuant to which Chatworth can earn a 50% interest in the Buck project by (i) issuing 100,000 units comprised of 100,000 common shares of Chatworth at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, (ii) issuing 100,000 two-year share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.10 per share in the first year and $0.15 per share in the second year, and (iii) incurring exploration expenditures totaling $500,000 over five years, with a minimum annual expenditure of $100,000.
   
Upon acceptance of the option agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange on July 16, 2005, 100,000 common shares and 100,000 warrants of Chatworth were received by the Company. The 100,000 pre-consolidation Chatworth shares with a value of $5,000 were credited against the acquisition cost of the property. Chatworth subsequently completed a 6-for-1 share consolidation. The fair value of the Chatworth warrants was estimated on the TSX acceptance date at $5,000 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, and has been credited against the acquisition cost of the property. Assumptions used in the pricing model include: (i) risk free rate of 3%, (ii) expected volatility of 328%, (iii) an estimated life of 2 years and (iv) an expected dividend rate of nil.

RAD and Sitka Properties

In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire 100% interests in each of the RAD and Sitka mineral properties. The 2,000 hectare RAD property, located 250 kilometers west of Williams Lake, was acquired from United Mineral Services Ltd., a private company owned by a director of the Company, by reimbursing the $8,000 staking cost. The Company has no current plans to conduct further exploration work on this property. Consequently, the acquisition costs totaling $8,000 were expensed in the year ended March 31, 2005.

The Company continues to maintain the property in good standing.

The 1,275 hectare Sitka Gold property ("Sitka"), located 30 kilometers northeast of Port Hardy, was acquired by the Company for $20,000 in cash and the issuance of 80,000 common shares of the Company to an arm's length party. During February 2004 to August 2004, the Company conducted technical reviews of the Sitka property. The Company has no current plans to conduct further exploration work on this property and consequently, the acquisition costs totaling $68,000 were expensed in the year ended March 31, 2005.

The Company continues to maintain the property in good standing.

Bob and JMD Properties

In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the Bob and JMD mineral properties. The 1,200 hectare Bob and the adjacent 100 hectare JMD properties, located 80 kilometers west of Quesnel, were acquired by issuing a total of 200,000 common shares of the Company to two arm's length parties. Of these 200,000 common shares, 50,000 are held in reserve until the Company reached a third party joint venture agreement or completed a total of $250,000 in exploration expenditures.

In November 2004 the Company signed an option agreement with Endurance Gold Corporation (“Endurance Gold”), an arm's length private company, whereby Endurance Gold can acquire a 60% interest in the properties by issuing to the Company 250,000 common shares, and by incurring $250,000 in exploration work over the next three years. The agreement is conditional upon Endurance Gold becoming a publicly-listed company.

At the end of the option period, the Company and Endurance Gold may enter into a joint venture to develop the property with the Company owning 40% and Endurance Gold owning 60%. The two arm's length parties, from whom the property was acquired, waived the right to the 50,000 common shares held in reserve referred to above.

In January 2005, Endurance Gold staked an additional 2,047 hectares of mineral claims within the area of common interest surrounding the property which now form part of the property and is to the terms of the agreement with Endurance Gold.

GBR-Bonanza

In April 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the 1,000 hectare GBR Property located approximately 70 kilometers northwest of Dease Lake.

Durango State, Mexico
Inde Property
   
The Inde Property ("the Property") comprises approximately 270 hectares located in Durango State, Mexico, and consists of five mineral concessions, of which three were owned outright by the Company and two were held under option.
   
In December 2003, and concurrent with an amendment to the underlying option agreement, the Company optioned the Property to Minera Bugambilias, S.A. de C.V. ("Bugambilias"). Bugambilias could have earned up to a 70% interest in the Inde Property by exercising two options and was also required to make all necessary option payments to the underlying property vendor. On October 14, 2004, Bugambilias terminated its option. The Company then terminated its option agreement with the underlying vendor, and pursuant to that agreement also relinquished, to the underlying vendor, the three concessions which it owned. Consequently, the Company has no further interest in the Inde Property.
   
In January 2004, the Company reached an option agreement with Sydney Resource Corporation (“Sydney”) pursuant to which Sydney can earn a 51% interest in the Inde project by (i) incurring $2.2 million in exploration expenses within 3 years and (ii) issuing 300,000 warrants at exercisable at $0.52 per share until February 4, 2006.

INCOME TAXES
   
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $2.5 million (2004 - $1.9 million) in non- capital losses and $5.7 million (2004 - $1.8 million) in capital losses for Canadian tax purposes available to reduce taxable income in future years. These non-capital losses expire in various periods ranging from 2006 to 2012. Future tax benefits, if any, resulting from the application of these losses have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements, as it cannot be considered more likely than not that they will be realized.
   
10.
COMMITMENTS
   
Pursuant to a flow-through private placement on December 2003, the Company was committed to incur prior to December 31, 2004, on a best efforts basis, approximately $3.8 million in qualifying Canadian exploration expenses. As at December 31, 2004, the Company had incurred the necessary expenditure and consequently had fulfilled its flow-through obligation.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

(a) Mineral property costs
   
The Company’s policy of expensing all property costs except where an outright property interest has been acquired results in an accounting treatment for these costs which the Company considers to be materially congruent with US GAAP. Accordingly, the Company considers that no US/Canadian GAAP difference exists with respect to mineral property costs in these consolidated financial statements.
   
(b) Stock-based compensation
   
United States Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires that stock-based compensation be accounted for based on a fair value methodology, although in certain instances, it allows the effects to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements rather than in the statement of operations. SFAS 123 also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). To March 31, 2002, the Company had elected to measure compensation cost for those plans using APB 25 for US GAAP purposes. There were no material differences in the treatment by the Company with respect to stock based compensation under US and Canadian GAAP for the year ended March 31, 2002.

United States Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", permits the Company to adopt a fair value methodology on a prospective basis. Effective April 1, 2002, for US GAAP purposes the Company prospectively adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, a treatment consistent with the accounting treatment used for Canadian GAAP. Accordingly the Company considers there were no material differences in the treatment by the Company with respect to stock based compensation under US and Canadian GAAP for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

(c)
Available for sale securities
   
US GAAP requires investments in available-for-sale securities to be recorded at fair value in accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.
   
Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as other comprehensive income which is a separate component of shareholders’ equity, except for declines in fair value that are determined to be other than temporary. These declines in value are charged to the statement of operations, which is consistent with the treatment prescribed under Canadian GAAP for that occurrence.
   
US GAAP requires the Company to present comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss), its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and all changes to shareholders’ equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Canadian GAAP does not require the presentation of comprehensive income (loss).
   
For the year ended March 31, 2005, the common shares of Yukon Zinc Corporation (“Yukon Zinc”) and Chatworth Resources Inc. (“Chatworth”) held by the Company would be considered available-for-sale securities and the Company would have recorded an upward mark-to-market adjustment of $8,126 related to its investment in common shares of Yukon Zinc and Chatworth.
   
The warrants held as marketable securities by the Company would be considered derivative financial instruments and would be accounted for under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, until they are exercised. Once exercised, the common shares received would be considered available-for-sale securities and would be accounted for under SFAS 115. SFAS 133 requires that all derivative financial instruments be recognized in the financial statements and measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument are charged to operations if the instrument does not qualify as a hedge, or to operations or other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, if it does qualify as a hedge.
   
For the year ended March 31, 2004, for US GAAP purposes, the common shares of StrataGold Corporation ("StrataGold") and of Expatriate Resources Ltd. ("Expatriate") held by the Company would be considered available-for-sale securities and the Company would have recorded an upward mark-to-market adjustment of $84,498 (year ended March 31, 2003 – $nil) related to its investment in common shares of StrataGold.

(d) Summary of effect of differences in Canadian and US GAAP
   
The effect of the above differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP on the balance sheet and statement of operations and deficit is summarized as follows:

  Total assets 2005 2004
  Total assets under Canadian GAAP $ 8,091,383 $ 14,187,517
  Mark-to-market adjustment (note 13(c)) 8,126 84,498
  Total assets under US GAAP $ 8,099,509 $ 14,272,015
         
         
  Loss for the year 2005 2004 2003
  Income (loss) for the year under Canadian
  GAAP and US GAAP $ (8,627,639 ) $ 831,135 $ (1,854,721 )
  Other comprehensive income
  Mark-to-market adjustment (note 13(c)) 8,126 84,498
  Comprehensive income (loss) $ (8,619,513 ) $ 915,633 $ (1,854,721 )

  Deficit under US GAAP $ (15,666,753 ) $ (6,962,742 ) $ (7,878,375 )

(e) Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements:
     
(i)
During 2004, FASB issued revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS123R"). This amended statement eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as was provided in the original issue SFAS 123. Accordingly, public entities are required to use the fair value of method of accounting for stock-based compensation and other share-based payments. As disclosed in note 7(c), the Company currently applies a fair value based methodology to stock-based compensation. The adoption of this amended US standard is not expected to result in a significant difference between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP.
     
(ii)
During 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153 "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets", which amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges on non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  (iii)
At March 31, 2005, for US GAAP purposes, the Company adopted FIN 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". Pursuant to FIN 46R, under US GAAP the Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities ("VIEs"), where the Company is the entity’s Primary Beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Primary Beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE. To March 31, 2005, there has been no impact from the adoption of FIN 46R.
