Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

   

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.

   

The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The Company's continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to continue the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and to obtain the permits necessary to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.

   

These Interim Financial Statements 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 a history of losses with no operating revenue, an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2014 of $62 million (March 31, 2014 – 59 million), and working capital at September 30, 2014 of $1.0 million (March 31, 2014 – $4.8 million).

   

The Company will need to seek additional financing to meet its exploration and development objectives. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has a reasonable expectation that additional funds will be available when necessary to meet ongoing exploration and development costs. 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. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures until additional funds can be raised through financing activities.

   

These Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

   
2.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS

  

All of the Company's active exploration properties are located in British Columbia, Canada. The following is a summary of the Company’s material properties.


(a)

IKE Property

  

The IKE property is located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Gold Bridge, British Columbia.

  

Option Agreement

  

In December 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 staged cash payments totaling $125,000 ($75,000 paid), issuing 300,000 common shares (200,000 common shares issued), and by incurring $1,855,697 in exploration expenditures on or before November 30, 2015. As of the date of the IKE Option Agreement, the mineral property interest in the IKE Property was held by two private third parties (together referred to as the “Underlying Optionors”), and Oxford’s interest in the IKE Property was represented by an option agreement between Oxford and the Underlying Optionors through an underlying option agreement (the “Underlying Option Agreement”).

  

In July 2014, the IKE Option Agreement was amended, whereby Oxford assigned to Amarc its rights in the Underlying Option Agreement for cash consideration of $40,000 and a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty (capped at total payments of $2,000,000). Consequently, Amarc now has the right to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the IKE property directly from the Underlying Optionors by making a cash payment of $40,000, issuing 100,000 common shares, and by incurring $1,855,697 in exploration expenditures (completed) before November 30, 2015.

  

Amarc has further agreed that upon completion of a positive feasibility study, it will issue 500,000 common shares in total to the Underlying 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 Underlying 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 Underlying Optionors annually commencing on December 31, 2015.

(b)

Galore Property

  

In July 2014, 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). Amarc may acquire an additional 19% ownership interest, for a total 70% ownership interest, by incurring $2 million in exploration expenditures within two years. Upon exercise of the initial or additional option, Amarc and Galore Resources have agreed to form either a 51/49 or a 70/30 joint venture, as the case may be.

  

The Galore mineral tenure is comprised of five claim groups and is subject to five underlying option agreements, each of which provides the relevant underlying owner with a 1.5% NSR royalty which may be purchased by the Company for $250,000 on or before December 31, 2024 and a 10% net profits interest royalty which may be purchased by the Company at any time until December 31, 2024 for $400,000 less any amounts in respect of net profits interest royalty already paid.

  
(c)

Granite Property

  

In August 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Great Quest Fertilizers Ltd. ("Great Quest"), whereby the Company can purchase a 100% ownership interest in the Granite property on or before November 30, 2014 by making staged cash payments totalling $400,000. As at September 30, 2014, the Company had made cash payments totalling $200,000.

  

Great Quest holds a 2% NSR royalty on the property which can be purchased for $2 million, on or before commercial production (payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion). In addition, there is an underlying 2.5% NSR royalty on certain mineral claims, which can be purchased at any time for $1,500,000 less any amount of royalty already paid.

  
(d)

Silver Vista Property

  

The Silver Vista Property is located approximately 55 kilometres northeast of Smithers, British Columbia.
