GENERAL

In this Annual Report on Form 20-F, all references to "we", "Amarc" and the "Company" refer to Amarc Resources Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company uses the Canadian dollar as its reporting currency. All references in this document to "dollars" or "$" are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See also Item 3 – "Key Information" for more detailed currency and conversion information.

Except as noted, the information set forth in this Annual Report is as of September 11, 2009 and all information included in this document should only be considered correct as of such date.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Certain terms used herein are defined as follows:

Epithermal Deposit

Deposit of mineralization formed by natural processes in the earth at low temperature, 50-200o C often within structurally controlled veins. Low sulphidation deposits are developed near-to the surface of the earth, at depths of ~1 km to surficial hotspring settings, and are characterized by quartz veins, vein stockworks and breccias. Mineralization includes gold, silver, electrum, argentite and pyrite with lesser and variable amounts of other sulphide minerals.

Induced Polarization Survey

A geophysical survey used to identify a feature that appears to be different from the typical or background survey results when tested for levels of electro-conductivity; IP detects both chargeable, pyrite-bearing rock and non-conductive rock that has a high content of quartz.

Magnetic Survey

Magnetic surveys detect sulphide-bearing rocks by inducing magnetic fields, then identifying a feature that appears to be different from the typical or background survey results.

Mineral Reserve

Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7 Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations of the Securities and Exchange Commission defines a 'reserve' as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves consist of:

(1) Proven (Measured) Reserves. Reserves for which: (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.

(2) Probable (Indicated) Reserves. Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

Mineral Resource




National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators defines a "Mineral Resource" as a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.

Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource. An Indicated Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than an Inferred Mineral Resource but has a lower level of confidence than a Measured Mineral Resource.

(1) Inferred Mineral Resource. An ‘Inferred Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

(2) Indicated Mineral Resource. An 'Indicated Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.

(3) Measured Mineral Resource. A 'Measured Mineral Resource' is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.

Industry Guide 7 – "Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations" of the Securities and Exchange Commission does not define or recognize resources. As used in this Form 20-F, "resources" are as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

D. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company's common shares is highly speculative and subject to a number of risks. Only those persons who can bear the risk of the entire loss of their investment should participate. An investor should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with Canadian securities regulators before investing in the Company's common shares. The risks described below are not the only ones faced by the Company. Additional risks that management is aware of or that the Company currently believes are immaterial may indeed become important factors that affect the Company's business. If any of the following risks occur, or if others occur, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed and the investor may lose all of his investment.

The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks.

Resource exploration is a speculative business and involves a high degree of risk. There is no known body of commercial ore on any of the Company's mineral properties and there is no certainty that the expenditures to be made by Amarc in the exploration of the Company's mineral properties will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Although the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Significant expenditures may be required to locate and establish ore reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the current exploration programs planned by Amarc will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Significant capital investment is required to achieve commercial production from successful exploration efforts.

The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is dependent upon a number of factors. These include deposit attributes such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, current and future metal prices (which can be cyclical), and government regulations, including those relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and necessary supplies and environmental protection. The complete effect of these factors, either alone or in combination, cannot be entirely predicted, and their impact may result in Amarc not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.


- 16 -

The Company does not currently have any properties on which mineral resources or mineral reserves have been outlined.

Amarc's properties have not produced any commercial mineral reserves or ore body.

All of the Company's mineral projects are in the exploration stage as opposed to the development stage and have no known body of economic mineralization. The known mineralization at these projects has not been determined to be economic ore. There can be no assurance that a commercially mineable ore body exists on any of the Company's properties. There is no certainty that any expenditure made in the exploration of the Company's mineral properties will result in discoveries of commercially recoverable quantities of ore. Such assurance will require completion of final comprehensive feasibility studies and, possibly, further associated exploration and other work that concludes a potential mine at each of these projects is likely to be economically viable. In order to carry out exploration and development programs of any economic ore body and place it into commercial production, the Company will be required to raise substantial additional funding.

As the Company does not have revenues, the Company will be dependent upon future financings to continue the Company's plan of operation.

Amarc has not generated any revenues from the Company's business activities since the Company's incorporation. The Company's plan of operations involves the completion of exploration programs on the Company's mineral properties. There is no assurance that these exploration activities will result in the establishment of commercially exploitable mineral deposits on the Company's mineral properties. Even if commercially exploitable mineral deposits are discovered, the Company will require substantial additional financing in order to carry out the full exploration and development of the Company's mineral properties before the Company is able to achieve revenues from sales of mineral resources that the Company is able to extract.

The loss of management or other key personnel could harm the Company's business.

The success of the Company's activities is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of management and other key personnel. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on their experience, discretion and judgment.

The Company has no history of earnings and no foreseeable earnings.

Amarc has a history of losses and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The Company anticipates that the Company will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the future operation and development of the Company's business. The Company has not paid dividends since incorporation and the Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends is at the discretion of the Company's board of directors after taking into account many factors including the Company's operating results, financial conditions and anticipated cash needs.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis, but there can be no assurance that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Although at March 31, 2009 the Company had working capital of approximately $3.3 million, the costs required to complete exploration and development of the Company's projects may be well in excess of this amount. Accordingly, unless additional funding is obtained, the going concern assumption may have to change. If Amarc is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to


- 17 -

curtail operations and exploration activities. Furthermore, failure to continue as a going concern would require that Amarc's assets and liabilities be restated on a liquidation basis which could differ significantly from the going concern basis.

A substantial or extended decline in the prices of the minerals for which the Company explores would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

The Company's business is, to an extent, dependent on the prices of gold, copper, zinc, and other metals, which are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control. Factors tending to put downward pressure on the prices of these metals include:

In addition, sustained low metal prices can:

Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk.

Amarc's operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of minerals. These include unusual and unexpected geological formations, rock falls, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, milling operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of retaining dams which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability which will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operation and financial condition.

The Company's business could be adversely affected by government regulations related to mining.

Amarc's exploration activities are regulated in all countries in which the Company operates under various federal, state, provincial and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, which generally includes air and water quality, hazardous waste management and reclamation. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown to Amarc at present


- 18 -

and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely impact the Company's operations. The regulatory environment in which the Company operates could change in ways that would substantially increase costs to achieve compliance, or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position. In particular, the Company's operations and exploration activities in British Columbia are subject to national and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations at the Company's projects.

Although the Company has no reason to believe that the existence and extent of any of the Company's properties is in doubt, title to mining properties is subject to potential claims by third parties claiming an interest in them.

Amarc's mineral properties may be subject to previous unregistered agreements or transfers, and title may be affected by undetected defects or changes in mineral tenure laws. The Company's mineral interests consist of mineral claims, which have not been surveyed, and therefore, the precise area and location of such claims or rights may be in doubt. The failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the failure to pay taxes or to carry out and file assessment work, may invalidate title to portions of the properties where the Company's mineral rights are held.

The Company is not able to obtain insurance for many of the risks that the Company faces.

In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, several risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological or operating conditions, may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks, and the Company may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in an increase in costs and a decline in value of the Company's securities.

The Company is not insured against environmental risks. Insurance against environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) has not been generally available to companies within the industry. The Company will periodically evaluate the cost and coverage of the insurance against certain environmental risks that is available to determine if it would be appropriate to obtain such insurance. Without such insurance, and if the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate the Company's available funds or could exceed the funds the Company has to pay such liabilities and result in bankruptcy. Should the Company be unable to fund fully the remedial cost of an environmental problem, the Company might be required to enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.

The Company may be dependent on its joint venture partners for the development of certain of the Company's properties.

Amarc may choose to hold a portion of the Company's assets in the form of participation interests in joint ventures. The Company's interest in these projects is subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and


- 19 -

events could have a material adverse impact on the Company's profitability or the viability of the interests held through joint ventures, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition: (i) disagreement with joint venture partners on how to proceed with exploration programs and how to develop and operate mines efficiently; (ii) inability of joint venture partners to meet their obligations to the joint venture or third parties; and (iii) litigation between joint venture partners regarding joint venture matters.

The industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive.

The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all of its phases. The Company competes with numerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources, in the search for and the acquisition of attractive mineral properties. Amarc's ability to acquire properties in the future will depend not only on the Company's ability to develop its present properties, but also on the Company's ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring such properties or prospects.

The Company's share price has historically been volatile.

The market price of a publicly traded stock, especially a junior resource issuer like Amarc, is affected by many variables not directly related to the Company's exploration success, including the market for junior resource stocks, the strength of the economy generally, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments, and the breadth of the public market for the stock. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of the common shares on the stock exchanges on which the Company trade, suggest the Company's shares will continue to be volatile.

Amarc's directors and officers are part-time and serve as directors and officers of other companies.

Some of the Company's directors and officers are engaged, and will continue to be engaged, in the search for additional business opportunities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with us. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). In order to avoid the possible conflict of interest which may arise between the directors' duties to Amarc and their duties to the other companies on whose boards they serve, the Company's directors and officers have agreed that participation in other business ventures offered to them will be allocated between the various companies on the basis of prudent business judgment, and the relative financial abilities and needs of the companies to participate.

There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the funding required for the Company's operations.

Amarc's operations consist almost exclusively of cash consuming activities given that the Company's main mineral projects are in the exploration stage. The further development and exploration of the various mineral properties in which the Company hold interests is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through debt financing, equity financing or other means.

If the Company raises additional funding through equity financings, then the Company's current shareholders will suffer dilution.

The Company will require additional financing in order to complete full exploration of the Company's mineral properties. Management anticipates that the Company will have to sell additional equity


- 20 -

securities including, but not limited to, its common stock, share purchase warrants or some form of convertible security. The effect of additional issuances of equity securities will result in the dilution of existing shareholders' percentage ownership interests.

Amarc's status as a passive foreign investment company has consequences for U.S. investors.

Potential investors who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Company expects to be a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for the current fiscal year, and may also have been a PFIC in prior years and may also be a PFIC in future years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer's holding period, then such U.S. taxpayer, generally, will be required to treat any so-called "excess distribution" received on its common shares, or any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, as ordinary income and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such distribution or gain, unless the taxpayer makes a qualified electing fund ("QEF") election or a mark-to-market election with respect to the Company's shares. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the taxpayer. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company's net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to the Company's shareholders. A U.S. taxpayer who makes the mark-to-market election, generally, must include as ordinary income in each year, the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over the taxpayer's tax basis therein. U.S. taxpayers are advised to seek advice from their professional tax advisors.

The Company's shareholders could face significant potential equity dilution.

As of September 11, 2009, Amarc had 1,748,864 share purchase options outstanding and 5,000,000 share purchase warrants outstanding. Amarc has a share purchase option plan which allows the management to issue options to its employees and non employees based on the policies of the Company. If further options are issued, they will likely act as an upside damper on the trading range of the Company's shares. As a consequence of the passage of time since the date of their original sale and issuance, none of the Company's shares remain subject to any hold period restrictions in Canada or the United States. The unrestricted resale of outstanding shares from the exercise of dilutive securities may have a depressing effect on the market for the Company's shares.

Penny Stock Classification Could Affect the Marketability of the Company's Common Stock and Shareholders Could Find It Difficult to Sell Their Stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

Further, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the


- 21 -

secondary market for the Company's common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

Incorporation

Amarc Resources Ltd. was incorporated on February 2, 1993, pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia Canada) (the "BCCA"), as "Patriot Resources Ltd." and changed its name on January 26, 1994 to "Amarc Resources Ltd." The BCCA was replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCA") in March 2004 and the Company is now governed by the BCA.

Amarc became a public company or "reporting issuer" in the Province of British Columbia on May 30, 1995. The common shares of Amarc were listed (symbol – AHR) on the Vancouver Stock Exchange ("VSE") on August 4, 1995 and continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX Venture"), formerly the Canadian Venture Exchange, the successor stock exchange to the VSE.

Amarc commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") in the United States in June 2004 under the symbol AXREF.

Offices

The head office of Amarc is located at Suite 1020, 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2V6, telephone (604) 684-6365, facsimile (604) 684-8092. The Company's registered office is in care of its attorneys, Lang Michener, 1500 Royal Centre P.O. Box 11117, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4N7, telephone (604) 689-9111, fax (604) 685-7084.

Company Development

Amarc has been engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties since its incorporation. The Company is currently actively exploring a number of properties located in British Columbia, Canada. All of the Company's mineral properties are at the exploration stage.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Amarc is in the business of exploring and developing mineral properties. The Company's exploration activities are primarily focused in British Columbia, Canada, where it has assembled a portfolio of projects through ground staking and option agreements. Exploration on these properties is aimed at ascertaining whether the properties host commercially viable mineral deposits.

British Columbia Mineral Tenure

On January 12, 2005, the Province of British Columbia adopted a new on-line mineral tenure system that includes mineral tenure acquisition and tenure maintenance procedures, as well as a method of converting previous format claims (legacy claims) to new format claims (cell claims). All of the Company's mineral tenures have been converted to cell claims resulting in new tenure numbers and marginally larger claim boundaries. The mineral leases are maintained through the completion of exploration activities referred to as "Assessment Work". The financial requirements related to these exploration works remain the same as previous, but are stated as $4 per hectare per year during the first three years following location of the


- 23 -

mineral claim, and $8 per hectare per year in the fourth and succeeding years. If the assessment work is not completed the mineral leases may be maintained by a cash payment, but if this payment is not made before the forfeiture date the tenure is relinquished.

One other type of mineral tenure exists, called crown-granted mineral claims, on which the perimeter has been physically surveyed. Crown-granted mineral claims are maintained by paying taxes on an annual basis. Unlike mineral claims, the taxes can be paid late with penalties and interest. If the taxes remain unpaid after a specified period of time, the claims will revert to the Crown and will be subsequently made available for acquisition by normal procedures.

Environmental Matters

Environmental matters related to mineral exploration companies in British Columbia are administered by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. The Company files notice of its work programs with the Ministry, and a bond is determined that will set aside sufficient cash to reclaim the exploration sites to their pre-exploration land use. Typically, no bond is required for exploration activities such as surface geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys. However, a bond is required for blasting, machine work and drilling. The required level of reclamation usually involves leaving the sites in a geotechnically stable condition, and grooming the sites to both prevent forest fire hazards and to ensure that natural regeneration of indigenous plant species can progress within a reasonable period of time.

Mineral Properties and Exploration Activities and Plans

Amarc is actively working to make a major mineral deposit discovery with the potential to deliver both substantial growth and value to the Company. In order to achieve its objective, the Company has assembled a capable and experienced mineral exploration team.

In recent times Amarc has focused its efforts in two areas: grassroots exploration in British Columbia ("BC") and property evaluations from favorable mining jurisdictions around the world.

The Company's BC-focused grassroots stage geological, geochemical and geophysical exploration programs over the past four years have primarily been directed towards discovering bulk tonnage gold-copper deposits and high-value base metals deposits. Positive results from Amarc's extensive 2007 BC regional programs in the underexplored and highly prospective Sitlika Zinc-Copper Belt were the focus of exploration activities in 2008. Selected targets are being advanced by the Company in 2009, and others are being offered for joint venture.

In addition, through its property evaluation efforts Amarc has acquired by, option agreement, two new plays in BC – the Pinchi and the Newton properties.

The Sitlika Copper-Zinc Belt

Located in central BC (see figure below), the Sitlika Belt extends for approximately 226 kilometers from the Endako-Vanderhoof area towards the northwest through one of the best endowed mineral districts in the province.

In December 2006 Amarc acquired, by staking and option agreement, exploration properties covering an area of approximately 1,100 square kilometers along the Sitlika Belt. Later staking increased the Company's tenure position to approximately 2,000 square kilometers. Following exploration programs that have resulted in targets being defined and prioritized; consequently Amarc has reduced its land holdings to currently focus on approximately 270 square kilometers.


- 24 -

The Sitlika Belt is underlain by gossanous metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Sitlika assemblage. The area was the subject of a focused geological mapping initiative by the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines (Schiarizza and Payie, 1997), the results of which indicate that the Sitlika rocks have the potential to host volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits. In addition, the Sitlika rocks are considered to correlate with the Kutcho Creek Formation, located approximately 250 kilometers to the north, which host the Kutcho VMS deposits.

The Sitlika Belt is well-serviced by main-line forestry roads, crossing topography that is subdued in comparison with other areas of BC. It is also located proximal to the Yellowhead Highway and the Canadian National rail link, which connect the Belt to the bulk loading terminal port of Prince Rupert. High capacity electric transmission lines and a natural gas line are also proximal to the Belt. Other services, including hospitals and schools, are located in nearby communities such as Burns Lake.

As a result of positive exploration results from the 2007 and work early in the following season, $4.5 million was spent on the Sitlika Belt programs in 2008. Since 2007, approximately $10.5 million has been spent on the BC initiative, including approximately $7 million on the Sitlika Belt.

During the 2007 field season, the Company collected 1,586 stream sediment samples along the Sitlika Belt, identifying 17 priority areas with multiple zinc and/or copper dominated targets. Follow-up target definition work in 2007 included the collection of 7,517 soil samples, and completion of geological mapping and 75 line-kilometers of induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys.

Exploration work in the 2008 field season focused on targets definition in 17 priority areas identified in 2007, and included the collection of approximately 20,000 soils samples, 500 silt and rock geochemical samples, and the completion of 80 line-kilometers of IP, over 1,000 line-kilometers of helicopter-borne AeroTem II magnetic geophysical surveys and approximately 4,600 meters of diamond drilling. Four outstanding copper and/or zinc mineral deposit targets were indentified within the Bodine Project area –Bodine-Warren, Huge South, Olsen and Big Time.

The Bodine Project is located in the central part of the Sitlika Belt. Initial reconnaissance by Amarc geologists identified massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization in outcrop. Channel samples returned encouraging grades of 1.79% and 1.37% copper over 2.9 meters and 2.4 meters, respectively.

Bodine Property Agreement

In November 2006, Amarc reached an option agreement with an arm's length party to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Bodine property. Amarc can acquire its interest in the Bodine property by making staged cash payments totaling $225,000 and expending $2,000,000 on the property over four years. The Company has paid $125,000 in property option payments for Bodine to date. The property is subject to a 3% net smelter royalty, 2% of which may be purchased at the Company's sole discretion for $2,000,000 with the remaining 1% subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company. Annual advance royalty payments of $50,000 will be required from the fifth year of the agreement to the fifteenth year of the agreement.

Bodine-Warren Property

The Bodine-Warren property hosts significant potential for the discovery of base-metal rich VMS deposits. In 2008, initial drill testing of soil anomalies comprised of significant copper and zinc concentrations with associated silver and lead values, and coincident IP signatures over a 2,000 meter by


- 25 -

700 meter area, intercepted thick sequences of favorable felsic volcanic rocks and confirmed the permissive nature of the geological environment for VMS style mineralization. Strong rock alteration was found associated with intervals of disseminated to stringer-like zones of sulphide mineralization that returned highly anomalous zinc and copper values. The 2009 drill program is designed to further test zones of anomalous zinc and copper within the northern sector of the property where sulphide content appears to be increasing. Drilling has commenced on the Bodine-Warren property.

Huge South Property

The Huge South project is hosted by a thick felsic volcanic pile that extends over at least eight kilometers and represents a classic environment for VMS type mineralization. Soil geochemical sampling undertaken during the 2008 field season defined a strong copper-in-soil anomaly extending over a length of almost five kilometers and open to both the northwest and to the southeast. Geological mapping, some 600 soil samples and approximately 21 line-kilometers of IP survey have been undertaken in 2009 to further define the target. These and the 2008 results have been reviewed and drill targets defined.

Olsen Property

The prospective Olsen target was identified through geological mapping, as well as geochemical and geophysical surveys, undertaken in 2008 and 2009. The soil grid defined a significant zinc-copper anomaly over approximately 1,100 meters which is coincident with a strong IP chargeability signature and associated with felsic volcanic units that represent preferred stratigraphy for VMS mineralization. Drill targets are defined.

Big Time Property

The Big Time target, although located within the Bodine Project area, represents a variation away from the typical Sitlika Belt geological environment and deposit type. In 2008 a one-kilometer by one-kilometer, open-ended, multi-element soils anomaly with a strong porphyry copper-molybdenum affinity and significant gold and silver was defined. In order to test this porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit target, additional definition work in 2009 has included geological mapping, some 500 soil samples and approximately 12 line-kilometers of induced polarization geophysical survey. A moderate to strong copper-molybdenum-silver soil anomaly has been defined, which is associated with a series of porphyry dykes and stocks, broadly coincident with an IP signature and has peripheral zinc-lead-gold-silver soil anomalies.

Falkirk Property Agreement

In June 2009, Amarc and Falkirk Resources Corp. ("Falkirk") entered into an Option and Joint Venture Agreement on the Big Time property. This was subsequently amended to include the Bodine-Warren property. Under the terms of the Amended Option and Joint Venture Agreement, Falkirk has the right to earn a 50% interest in the Bodine-Warren property by issuing 100,000 shares to Amarc and funding $600,000 in exploration expenditures before December 31, 2009. Amarc is the operator. On exercise of the option by Falkirk, the two parties will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement. The Agreement is subject to an underlying option agreement ("Bodine Agreement") with an arm's length party, whereby Amarc has the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in all claims held under this agreement through a series of staged payments and exploration expenditures. The claims held under the Bodine Agreement are subject to a 3% net smelter royalty, 2% of which may be purchased for $2 million with the remaining 1% subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Amarc. Annual advance royalty payments of $50,000 are required, starting in 2012 (see “Bodine Property Agreement” above).


- 26 -

Pinchi Property

The Pinchi property is situated within the Quesnel Trough, a geological trend that hosts numerous porphyry gold-copper deposits in BC. It lies along the same structural corridor as the Kwanika porphyry copper-gold deposit and the Lorraine copper-gold-silver deposits. The planned 2009 drill program is designed to test coincident strong aeromagnetic and IP geophysical anomalies underlying a region covered with glacial gravel with no outcrop.

Pinchi Property Agreement

Amarc has entered into an Option Agreement with Lysander Minerals Corp. ("Lysander") on the Pinchi property. Under the terms of the Option Agreement with Lysander, Amarc has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Pinchi property by funding $151,000 in exploration expenditures on or before November 2009 and an additional $3 million in exploration expenditures over the ensuing three calendar years. Amarc can earn an additional 15% interest by incurring an additional $4 million in exploration expenditures over the subsequent two calendar years. Upon the earlier of Amarc exercising its second option to earn a 75% interest or electing to remain at a 60% interest, the two parties will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement.

Newton Property

The Newton property is located approximately 120 kilometers southwest of the City of Williams Lake. Historical drilling at the Newton property tested for porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization with low grade results. However, two drill holes (DDH06-12 and DDH06-03) positioned approximately 200 metres apart at the very eastern edge of this historical core drilling intercepted 105 metres of 1.20 g/t gold (including 49 metres at 2.33 g/t gold) and 97 metres at 0.51 g/t Au, respectively within an apparent epithermal, bulk tonnage gold environment. Both of these holes bottomed in mineralization. Amarc plans to drill a series of holes to test if this bulk tonnage-style gold mineralization extends to the east and/or to depth.

Newton Property Agreement

In June 2009, Amarc entered into an Option and Joint Venture Agreement with High Ridge Resources Inc. ("High Ridge") on the Newton property. Under the terms of the Agreement with High Ridge, Amarc has the right to earn an 80% interest in the Newton property by making a $60,000 cash payment and issuing 100,000 Amarc shares to the underlying owners, funding $240,000 in exploration expenditures on or before December 31, 2009 and funding an additional $4.7 million in exploration expenditures over seven years from the effective date of the Agreement. On exercise of the option by Amarc, the two parties will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement. The Newton Agreement is subject to an underlying option agreement and accompanying amending agreements with arm's length parties, whereby High Ridge has the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in all claims held under the agreement through a series of staged payments and share issuances, all of which High Ridge states have been completed, and exploration expenditures, of which High Ridge states a $240,000 commitment on or before December 31, 2009 is outstanding. The claims held under the Newton Agreement are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty, which may be purchased for $2 million. Annual advance royalty payments of $50,000 are required starting in 2012.

Pinchi Belt Gold Properties

Amarc currently holds a land position of approximately 10 square kilometers along the Pinchi Belt, located to the east of the Sitlika Copper-Zinc Belt.


- 27 -

The Pinchi properties are underlain by Paleozoic limestone, sedimentary and volcanic rocks that have been intruded by Mesozoic intrusive rocks. This geologic environment is prospective for bulk tonnage gold deposits.

The Company performed airborne and ground-based geophysical surveys and grid-based geochemical surveys during the 2007 field season. Four targets were followed-up in 2007. During the 2008 field season, approximately 1,200 soil geochemical samples were collected from the Grand and Grand North targets. Subsequent to a review of these results and those from the 2007 field season, the Company has decided to retain only the Grand and the Petite claims. Currently, no work is planned on either the Grand or Petite plays in 2009.

The costs incurred on the Pinchi program to date total approximately $474,000.

Carbonate Zinc Belt

The remaining claims relating to the Carbonate Zinc Belt properties were allowed to lapse in July 2009. No further work is planned along the Carbonate Zinc Belt.

The Rapid Property

In April 2008, Amarc staked the Rapid Property, which covered approximately 400 square kilometers of anomalous copper-zinc-silver geochemical values in stream sediments reported in a release by Geoscience BC. The land position has since been reduced to approximately 5 square kilometers.

The Rapid property is located 36 kilometers northwest of the town of Fort St. James. Access to the site is by a network of forestry roads.

An airborne magnetic geophysical survey carried out in the early part of the 2008 season was followed up by focused geological mapping, collection of 2,840 geochemical soil samples and completion of approximately 34 line-kilometers of IP. Currently, no further work is planned on these properties in 2009.

The cost of the programs to date is approximately $576,000.

Other BC Agreements

The Pond Property Agreement

The Pond Agreement, which was entered into with an arm's length party, was terminated as of August 1, 2009. No further work is planned on the property.

The Tulox Property Agreement

The Tulox property, located in the Cariboo region and comprising an area of 252 square kilometers, was acquired during 2005 to 2007. The Tulox property is underlain by Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by Mesozoic intrusive rocks. These rocks have been overlain by Cenozoic volcanic and pyroclastic rocks. The Tulox property hosts gold and gold indicator element anomalies.

In April 2009, Amarc entered into an option agreement with Tulox Resources Inc. ("Tulox", formerly named Sitec Ventures Corp.), on its Tulox Property, subject to certain conditions. Tulox can acquire a 100% interest in the Tulox Property by making a cash payment of $10,000, expending $2,000,000 on the Tulox Property and issuing 2,700,000 common shares over four years. Tulox has made a $10,000 cash


- 28 -

payment and issued 250,000 common shares to date. Upon preparation of a Preliminary Assessment or a Prefeasibility Study, Amarc may exercise a one-off Back-In Right to obtain 60% interest in the Tulox Property by completing an additional $10 million of Mineral Exploration Expenditures on the Property. The Tulox Property is subject to a 3% net smelter royalty, which is reduced to 1.2% in the event that the Back-In Right is exercised by Amarc.

Other Property Interests – BC, Yukon, Saskatchewan

The Chona Agreement with an arm's length party, through which the Company retained a 2.5% net smelter royalty in the Chona property, has lapsed. No further work is planned on the Chona property located in BC.

The AA Agreement with an arm's length party, through which the Company retained a 1.5% net smelter royalty interest in the AA property, has lapsed. No further work is planned on the AA property located in BC.

Amarc also has a 5% net profits interest ("NPI") in the 46 mineral claims that comprise the Ana Property in Yukon, and a 2.5% NPI in a mineral lease over the Mann Lake Property in Saskatchewan.

The Company has no plans to undertake any programs on these properties in 2009.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Company operates directly and has no material subsidiaries.

D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

All of the Company's active properties are located in British Columbia. The nature of the Company's interest in various mineral properties is described above (See item 4B – Business Overview). None of the Canadian projects have any material tangible fixed assets located thereon. Location of the currently active properties and details of mineral exploration claims within British Columbia are shown on Figure 1 and Table 1 respectively (below).

ITEM 5 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

OVERVIEW

Amarc is a mineral exploration company with a portfolio of active exploration projects located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company's business strategy is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. None of the Company's properties have any mineral reserves or have been proven to host mineralized material which can be said to be "ore" or feasibly economic at current metals prices. The Company incurs significant exploration expenditures as it carries out its business strategy. As Amarc is an exploration stage company, it does not have any revenues from its operations to offset its exploration expenditures. Accordingly, the Company's ability to continue exploration of its properties will be contingent upon the availability of additional financing.

Amarc's financial statements are prepared on the basis that it will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to develop profitable operations. Amarc's 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.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, accompanying this Annual Report. The Company prepares and files its consolidated financial statements with various Canadian regulatory authorities, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted principles ("GAAP"). References should be made to note 11 to the annual financial statements which provide a reconciliation of material measurement differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP and their effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's accounting policies are presented in note 3 of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 and a reconciliation of material measurement differences between these principles and US GAAP principles is presented in note 11.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates. Such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. These include:

Actual amounts could differ from the estimates used and, accordingly, affect the results of operation.


- 32 -

Mineral resources and reserves, and the carrying values of mineral properties, and of buildings and equipment

Mineral resources and reserves are estimated by professional geologists and engineers in accordance with recognized industry, professional and regulatory standards. These estimates require inputs such as future metals prices, future operating costs, and various technical geological, engineering, and construction parameters. Changes in any of these inputs could cause a significant change in the resources and reserves determined which in turn could have a material effect on the carrying value of mineral property interests, and buildings and equipment.

The carrying value of mineral properties is also dependant on the valuation used for the common shares of the Company issued for the acquisition of mineral properties. The value of the common shares issued is the price of the common shares of the Company at the date of issuance to effect the acquisition.

Site restoration costs (asset retirement obligations)

Upon the completion of any mining activities, the Company will ordinarily be required to undertake environmental reclamation activities in accordance with local and/or industry standards. The estimated costs of these reclamation activities are dependent on labour costs, the environmental impacts of the Company's operations, the effectiveness of the chosen reclamation techniques, and on applicable government environmental standards. Changes in any of these factors could cause a significant change in the reclamation expense charged in a period.

Future income tax assets and liabilities

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values. Future income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions and are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The carrying value of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a valuation allowance, to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

Stock-based compensation expense

From time to time, the Company may grant share purchase options to directors, employees, and service providers. In addition, the Company may grant share purchase warrants to investors as part of private placement share offerings, with the value of such warrants initially charged to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate a value for these options and warrants. This model, and other models which are used to value options and warrants, require inputs such as expected volatility, expected life to exercise, and interest rates. Changes in any of these inputs could cause a significant change in the stock-based compensation expense charged in a period and / or the value of the warrants charged to share capital.

A. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended March 31, 2009 ("2009") versus Year Ended March 31, 2008 ("2008")

The net loss for the year ended March 31, 2009 increased to $5,109,000 compared to a net loss of $3,566,000 for the previous year. The increase in loss was mainly due to an increase in exploration activities in current year compared to the previous year.


- 33 -

During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company received $ 1,435,000 in respect of Mineral Exploration Tax Credit ("METC–BC"), which amount was credited to exploration expense. The METC initiative was introduced by the BC Government to stimulate new economic activity in the province and includes an enhanced credit for mineral exploration in areas affected by the mountain pine beetle infestation. There was no such credit received in the prior year.

Exploration expenses, before METC–BC, for the year ended March 31, 2009 increased to $ 6,054,000, compared to $3,067,000 for the previous year. This increase was due to a greater number of exploration programs being carried out in British Columbia. The major exploration expenditures during the year were geological (2009–$2,536,000; 2008–$1,721,000), drilling (2009–$807,000; 2008–$nil), helicopter (2009–$600,000; 2008–$392,000), assay and analysis (2009–$596,000; 2008–$283,000), site activities (2009–$490,000; 2008–$372,000) and engineering (2009–$371,000; 2008–$8,000).

The major administrative costs during the year were salaries and benefits (2009–$209,000; 2008–$257,000), office and administration (2009–$178,000; 2008–$184,000), conference and travel (2009–$54,000; 2008–$96,000), management and consulting (2009–$58,000; 2008–$49,000), and shareholder communication (2009–$123,000; 2008–$73,000).

Stock-based compensation expense of $244,000 was charged to operations during fiscal 2009, compared to $nil for fiscal 2008.

Interest and other income decreased to $309,000 for fiscal 2009 compared to $316,000 for the previous year. Interest and other income in 2009 and 2008 mainly consisted of interest on METC-BC and input tax credit, and interest earned on a $5,500,000 loan to Rockwell Diamonds Inc., respectively.

During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company paid $81,000 on account of tax related to the 2008 flow-through financing. There was no such tax recorded during the prior year.

There was a gain of $14,000 on sale of equipment to a related party during the fiscal year of 2009. There was no gain on the sale of equipment during the prior year.

A foreign exchange gain of $219,000 was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2009, compared with a loss of $138,000 in the previous year. The gain was due primarily to appreciation in value of the Company's US dollar assets, mainly held in cash and cash equivalents, against the Canadian dollar.

Year Ended March 31, 2008 ("2008") versus Year Ended March 31, 2007 ("2007")

The net loss for the year ended March 31, 2008 increased to $3,566,000 compared to a net loss of $1,376,000 in 2007. The increase in loss was mainly due to an increase in exploration activities compared to the previous year.

Exploration expenses for the year ended March 31, 2008, excluding stock-based compensation, increased to $3,067,000, compared to $1,033,000 in 2007. This increase was due to a greater number of exploration programs being carried out in British Columbia. The major exploration expenditures during the year were geological (2008–$1,721,000; 2007–$636,000), site activities (2008–$372,000; 2007–$64,000), and assay and analysis (2008–$283,000; 2007–$162,000). Option payments related to mineral property interests increased to $60,000, compared to option payments of $25,000 made for the previous year.

The major administrative costs during the year were salaries and benefits (2008–$257,000; 2007–$229,000), office and administration (2008–$184,000; 2007–$150,000), conference and travel (2008–$94,000; 2007–$60,000), management and consulting (2008–$49,000; 2007–$55,000), and shareholder


- 34 -

communication (2008–$73,000; 2007–$52,000). The increase in administrative costs was mainly due to increased exploration activities.

Interest and other income decreased to $316,000 in 2008 compared to $334,000 in 2007. The change in total interest income is attributable to the following factors:

  1.

Interest earned on cash and cash equivalent increased to $262,000 in 2008, compared to $141,000 in 2007. This increase was due to higher cash balance in 2008 mainly because of issuance of common shares during the last quarter of fiscal year 2007, repayment of loan to a related party in first quarter of 2008 and exercise of share warrants in 2008.

     
  2.

In 2008, $54,000 of interest was recorded in respect of a promissory note on funds lent to a related party, Rockwell Ventures Inc. (now renamed "Rockwell Diamonds Inc."), as compared $193,000 in 2007. (See Item 7B–Related Party Transactions).

There were no losses on the sale of equipment or write-down of mineral property interest in 2008, compared with a loss of $2,000 on the sale of fixed assets and a write-down of mineral property interest of $98,000 recorded in 2007.

A foreign exchange loss of $138,000 was recorded in 2008, compared with a gain of $38,000 in 2007. The loss was due primarily to a decline in the Canadian dollar value of US dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents held by the Company.

A gain of $69,000 on the sale of marketable securities was recorded during in 2008, compared with $nil in 2007. The gain resulted from the sale of 498,000 common shares of Rockwell Diamonds Inc., which the Company had received as payment for the interest portion of the promissory note to Rockwell Diamonds Inc. (See Item 7B–Related Party Transactions).

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,972,000 and working capital of $3,339,000 as at March 31, 2009, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $7,714,000 and working capital of $7,738,000 as at March 31, 2008.

The Company did not have any long term liabilities as at March 31, 2009 or 2008 and does not have any long term liabilities as of the date of this Annual Report.

Planned Exploration Activities

The Company plans to apply its available cash and working capital to continue exploration of the Company's mineral properties. These planned exploration activities are summarized in Item 4.B of this Annual Report. At September 11, 2009, the Company had cash of approximately $2.2 million.

The Company anticipates that its cash and working capital will be sufficient to enable it to carry out the Company's currently planned exploration activities as well as for property maintenance requirements and administrative overhead for the twelve months without obtaining additional financing.


- 35 -

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $5,167,000 in fiscal 2009, compared to $3,652,000 in 2008 and $1,223,000 in 2007. The annual increase in cash used in operating activities from 2008 to 2009 is attributable primarily to the Company's increased levels of exploration activities carried out on its British Columbia mineral properties. The Company anticipates continuing to use cash in its operating activities to carry out its exploration programs.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $74,000 in 2009, compared to cash generated from investing activities of $5,815,000 in 2008, and cash used in investing activities of $5,497,000 in 2007. Cash used in investing activities during the current year represents the purchase of equipment. Cash generated from and cash used in the investing activities in 2008 and 2007, respectively, related primarily to repayment and extending of a loan of $5,500,000 to a related party pursuant to a 90-day promissory note. Cash inflows from investing activities in 2008 also included $315,000 in proceeds from the sale of shares of a related party representing payment of interest on the 90-day promissory note. (See Item 7B – Related Party Transactions).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities were $500,000 in 2009, compared to $2,635,000 in 2008 and $5,098,000 in 2007. Cash flows from financing activities in the current year were attributable to cash received from a private placement of 5,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per share. Cash flows from financing activities in 2008 were attributable to the Company's common shares issued pursuant to exercise of 4,790,000 share warrants at $0.55 per share. Cash flows from financing activities in 2007 were related to a private placement of 10,490,000 common shares at $0.50 per share, net of share issue costs.

Requirement of Financing

Historically, Amarc's sole source of funding has been the sale of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company has issued common share capital in each of the past three fiscal years pursuant to private placement financings and exercise of warrants. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing to fund its exploration programs is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.

Development of any of the Company's mineral properties beyond feasibility will require additional equity and possible debt financing, both of which involve significant risks and have been referred to previously in this Annual Report. As Amarc is an exploration stage company, it does not have revenues from operations and, except for interest income from its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, the Company relies on equity funding for its continuing financial liquidity. The Company does not have any arrangements or commitments in place for any additional financing that would enable it to complete development of a project, even in the event of positive feasibility studies.

The Company presently does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures and accordingly, can remain somewhat flexible in directing its exploration activities to the availability of funds.

The Company has no lines of credit or other sources of financing which have been arranged but are as yet unused.


- 36 -

Financial Instruments

Amarc keeps its financial instruments denominated in Canadian dollars, the US dollars and Mexican Peso. The Company does not engage in any hedging operations with respect to currency or in-situ minerals. Funds which are excess to Amarc's current needs are invested in short term near-cash investments.

Amarc does not have any material, legally enforceable, obligations requiring it to make capital expenditures and accordingly, can remain relatively flexible in gearing its activities to the availability of funds.

C. Research Expenditures

Amarc does not carry out any research or development activities. Please refer to Item 5.A and Item 5.B above for a discussion of the exploration expenditures that the Company has incurred in connection with the exploration of the Company's mineral properties.

D. Trend Information

As a natural resource exploration company, Amarc's activities reflect the traditional cyclical nature of metal prices. Consequently, Amarc's business is primarily an "event-driven" business based on exploration results.

Copper prices had been on an overall upward trend between late 2003 and October 2008, but have decreased significantly since then as a result of uncertainties in global financial markets. In mid-2008, the copper market deficit, caused by strong demand growth and struggling production and a lack of new development projects, reached its peak. The average price in 2008 was US$3.15/lb, compared to an average price of US$3.22/lb in 2007. There was an unprecedented 70% drop in prices over the six months from July to December 2008.

Copper prices stabilized in January 2009, then began to increase. The average copper price in calendar 2009 to September 14 was approximately US$2.12/lb.

Zinc prices in 2008 ranged from a high $1.29/lb in March to a low of $0.50/lb in October, and averaged US$0.80/lb for the year. Prices stabilized in January 2009, and have averaged approximately US$0.65/lb to September 14, 2009.

Gold prices were volatile in late 2008, dropping below $800/oz for a two-week period in September, and again from mid-October through November. The average gold price for 2008 was US$871/oz. As global economic and other market conditions are uncertain, market experts have forecast strong gold prices through 2009. Prices in 2009 to September 14 have averaged approximately US$926/oz.


- 37 -

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Amarc has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

As used in this Item 5E, the term "off-balance sheet arrangement" means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity, unconsolidated with the Company, is a party, under which the Company has:

(a)

any obligation under a guarantee contract that has any of the characteristics identified in paragraph 3 of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (November 2002) ("FIN 45"), as may be modified or supplemented, excluding the types of guarantee contracts described in paragraphs 6 and 7 of FIN 45;

   
(b)

a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets;

   
(c)

any obligation under a derivative instrument that is both indexed to the company's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity, or not reflected, in the company's statement of financial position; or

   
(d)

any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest (as referenced in FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (January 2003), as may be modified or supplemented) in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, the company, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with, the company.



- 38 -

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

As at fiscal year end March 31, 2009, the Company had the following contractual obligations:

  Payment due by period
Type of Contractual Obligation Total Less than 1 Year 1 - 3 Years 3 - 5 Years More than 5 Years
Long-Term Debt Obligations              –                –                –
Capital (Finance) Lease Obligations              –                –                –
Operating Lease Obligations (Office Lease)              –                –                –
Purchase Obligations              –                –                –
Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Company's Balance Sheet under the GAAP of the primary financial statements
Total              –                –                –

In December 2008, the Company arranged a private placement of 5,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one flow-through common share and one non-flow-through warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.10 for a 24 month period. In accordance with the terms of flow-through share agreements, the Company is obligated to spend the proceeds from the flow-through shares on eligible exploration activities by December 31, 2009.

G. Safe Harbor

The safe harbor provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act applies to forward-looking information provided pursuant to Item 5.E and Item 5.F above.

C. Board Practices

Mr. Carrier was appointed as director in May 2008. All other directors were elected at the September 29, 2008 annual general meeting. All directors have a term of office expiring at the next annual general meeting of Amarc. All officers have a term of office lasting until their removal or replacement by the board of directors (the "Board").

There were no arrangements, standard or otherwise, pursuant to which directors were compensated by Amarc or its subsidiaries for their services in their capacity as directors, or for committee participation, involvement in special assignments or for services as consultants or experts during the most recently completed financial year.

General

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. The Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") have adopted National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented National Instrument NI 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company's approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company's compliance with NI 58-101.

1. Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company's board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management in a number of ways including: by holding regular meetings without the presence of management; by retaining independent consultants; and by reviewing corporate developments with larger shareholders, analysts and potential industry partners, where it deems necessary.

The directors of the Company, except Messrs. Coughlan and Carrier, are not independent. The Company is taking steps to ensure that the duties generally performed by independent directors are being performed by the current directors. The Board members have extensive experience as directors of public companies and are sensitive to the related corporate governance and financial reporting obligations associated with such positions. Thus the Board members are reasonably well versed in the obligations of directors and the expectations of independence from management.

2. Other Directorships

The section entitled Item 6 – Directors, Senior Management and Employees in this Annual Report gives details of other reporting issuers of which each director is a director or officer.

3. Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company has traditionally retained experienced mining people as directors and hence the orientation needed is minimized. When new directors are appointed, they are acquainted with the Company's mineral project and the expectations of directors. Board meetings generally include presentations by the


- 49 -

Company's senior management and project staff in order to give the directors full insight into the Company's operations.

4. Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted an ethics policy which is available on the Company's website, www.amarcresources.com. The Board also understands that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

5. Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors required, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

6. Compensation

The Board determines the compensation for independent directors and executives.

7. Other Board Committees

The Board has no compensation or other committees other than the audit committee.

8. Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee's Charter

The audit committee has adopted a charter that sets out its mandate and responsibilities. A copy of the audit committee charter is available at www.sedar.com and the Company's website, www.amarcresources.com.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The members of the audit committee are Rene Carrier, Barry Coughlan and Robert Dickinson. All members are financially literate. Mr. Carrier and Mr. Coughlan are independent.


- 50 -

Relevant Education and Experience

As a result of their education and experience, each member of the audit committee has familiarity with, an understanding of, or experience in:

Audit Committee Oversight

The audit committee has not made any recommendations to the Board to nominate or compensate any external auditor that was not adopted by the Board.

The Company's auditor De Visser Gray LLP has not provided any material non-audit services during the most recently completed fiscal year.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Company has procedures for the review and pre-approval of any services performed by its auditors. The procedures require that all proposed engagements of its auditors for audit and non-audit services be submitted to the audit committee for approval prior to the beginning of any such services. The audit committee considers such requests, and, if acceptable to a majority of the audit committee members, pre-approves such audit and non-audit services by a resolution authorizing management to engage the Company's auditors for such audit and non-audit services, with set maximum dollar amounts for each itemized service. During such deliberations, the audit committee assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered "prohibited services" as contemplated by the regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors.

Exemptions

Pursuant to section 6.1 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 ("MI 52-110"), the Company is exempt from the requirements of Parts 3 and 5 of MI 52-110 in respect of the composition of its audit committee and in respect of its reporting obligations under MI 52-110 for the year ended March 31, 2007, by virtue of the Company being a "venture issuer". This exemption exempts a "venture issuer" from, among other things, the requirement to have 100% of the members of its audit committee be independent, as would otherwise be required by MI 52-110.

D. Employees

At September 11, 2009, Amarc had no direct employees. Amarc's administrative and exploration functions are primarily administered through Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. (See Item 7- Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions).

Share Option Plan

As at September 11, 2009, 1,748,864 options were outstanding pursuant to the Company's share option plan, and an aggregate of 5,535,083 common shares were available for issuance, pursuant to the Company's share option plan, described below.

(a) Incentive Options

1. Share Incentive Plan

In order to provide incentive to directors, officers, employees, management and others who provide services to the Company to act in the best interests of the Company, the Company has adopted a Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

At the Company's annual general meeting (the "Meeting") held on September 29, 2008, shareholders confirmed the Company's share option plan, previously approved by the shareholders on September 21, 2004. The Plan is based on the maximum number of eligible shares equaling a rolling percentage of up to 10% of the Company's outstanding common shares, calculated from time to time. Pursuant to the Plan, if outstanding options are exercised, or expire, or the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company increases, the number of options available to grant under the Plan increases proportionately. The exercise price of each option is set by the board of directors at the time of grant based on the market price on the date preceding the date of grant. Options can have a maximum term of five years and typically terminate 90 days following the termination of the optionee's employment or engagement, except in the case of retirement or death. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the board of directors at the time the options are granted.

Eligible Optionees

Under the policies of the TSX Venture, to be eligible for the issuance of a stock option under the Plan an optionee must either be a director, officer or employee of the Company, or a consultant or an employee of a company providing management or other services to the Company, or to its subsidiaries, at the time the option is granted.

Options may be granted only to an individual or to a company that is wholly-owned by individuals eligible for an option grant. If the option is granted to a non-individual, the company must provide the TSX Venture with an undertaking that it will not permit any transfer of its securities, nor issue further securities, to any other individual or entity as long as the incentive stock option remains in effect without the consent of the TSX Venture.

Insider Limitations

ITEM 7 MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. Major Shareholders

Major Shareholders

Amarc is a publicly-held corporation, with its shares held by residents of Canada, the United States of America and other countries. To the best of Amarc's knowledge, other than as noted below, no person, corporation or other entity beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or controls more than 5% of the common shares of Amarc, the only class of securities with voting rights. For these purposes, "beneficial ownership" means the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any security.

As of September 11, 2009, Amarc had authorized unlimited common shares without par value, of which 72,839,473 were issued and outstanding.

As at September 11, 2009, Robert Dickinson, together with companies controlled by him, held 10,356,409 common shares of Amarc, representing 14.25% of the common shares outstanding.

As at September 11, 2009, Jeffrey Mason held 4,196,000 common shares of Amarc, representing 5.77% of the common shares outstanding.

All of the common shares have the same voting rights.

Geographic Breakdown of Shareholders

As of September 11, 2009, Amarc's register of shareholders indicates that Amarc's common shares are held as follows:

  Number of registered    
  shareholders of record    
Location (note 1) Number of shares Percentage of total shares
Canada 14 65,694,167 90.18%
United States 9 2,955,306 4.06%
Other 5 4,190,000 5.76%
TOTALS 28 72,839,473 100.00%

Shares registered in intermediaries were assumed to be held by residents of the same country in which the clearing house was located.

Note 1

Amarc's securities are recorded on the books of its transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada located at 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, Canada (604) 661-0271 in registered form. However, the majority of such shares are registered in the name of intermediaries such as brokerage houses and clearing houses (on behalf of their respective brokerage clients). Amarc does not have knowledge or access to the identities of the beneficial owners of such shares registered through intermediaries.

ITEM 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

Amarc's corporate constituting documents comprising Articles of Association and Memorandum are registered with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies under Corporation No. 436691. A copy of the Company's original Articles of Association was filed as an exhibit with Amarc's initial registration statement on Form 20-F.

In March 2004, the Company Act (British Columbia) (the "BCCA") was replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCA"). All companies incorporated under the BCCA were required to complete a transition application to the BCA by March 29, 2006. The directors of the Company authorized the Company to file a transition application with the Registrar of Companies and to comply with the BCA. Accordingly, the Company filed a Notice of Articles on October 2, 2004. The BCA approved the Company's Notice of Articles and they were also approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on October 12, 2005.

A summary of certain changes under the new articles was discussed and filed in a prior year with the Company's filing on Form 20-F.

C. Material Contracts

Amarc's material contracts as of September 11, 2009:

(a)

Corporate Services Agreement between Amarc and Hunter Dickinson Services Inc. dated June 1, 2008. See Item 7B and Exhibit 4.1.

Other agreements are in the normal course of business.

D. Exchange Controls

Amarc is incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See "Taxation", below.

There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the charter or other constituent documents of Amarc on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote its common shares, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (the "Investment Act"). The following discussion summarizes the material features of the Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire a controlling number of Amarc's common shares. It is general only; it is not a substitute for independent advice from an investor's own advisor, and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments. Amarc does not


- 61 -

believe the Investment Act will have any effect on it or on its non-Canadian shareholders due to a number of factors including the nature of its operations and Amarc's relatively small capitalization.

The Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a "reviewable" investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture (each an "entity") that is not a "Canadian" as defined in the Investment Act (i.e. a "non-Canadian"), unless after review the Minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in Amarc's common shares by a non-Canadian (other than a "WTO Investor" as that term is defined in the Investment Act and which term includes entities which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the World Trade Organization) when Amarc was not controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of Amarc and the value of the assets of Amarc, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was over $5 million, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, regardless of the value of the assets of Amarc. An investment in the common shares of Amarc by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when Amarc was controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of Amarc and the value of the assets of Amarc, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2009 is $312 million. A non-Canadian would acquire control of Amarc for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares. The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of Amarc unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, Amarc was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of the common shares.

The foregoing assumes Amarc will not engage in the production of uranium or own an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada, or provide any financial service or transportation service or is a cultural business, as the rules under the Investment Act governing those businesses are different.

Certain transactions relating to the common shares of the Company would be exempt from the Investment Act, including:

  (a)

an acquisition of the common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities;

     
  (b)

an acquisition of control of Amarc in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act; and

     
  (c)

an acquisition of control of Amarc by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of Amarc, through the ownership of the common shares, remained unchanged.

E. Taxation

The following, in management's understanding, summarizes the material Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the holding and disposition of common shares by a holder (in this summary, a "U.S. Holder") who, (a) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), is not resident in Canada, deals at arm's length with Amarc, holds the common shares as capital property and does not use or hold the common shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada, and (b) for the purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980


- 62 -

(the "Treaty"), is a resident solely of the United States, has never been a resident of Canada, and has not held or used (and does not hold or use) common shares in connection with a permanent establishment or fixed base in Canada. This summary does not apply to traders or dealers in securities, limited liability companies, tax-exempt entities, insurers, financial institutions (including those to which the mark-to-market provisions of the Tax Act apply), or any other U.S. Holder to which special considerations apply.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, including all regulations thereunder, the Treaty, all proposed amendments to the Tax Act, the regulations and the Treaty publicly announced by the Government of Canada to the date hereof, and the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed and that there will be no other relevant change in any governing law or administrative practice, although no assurances can be given in these respects. This summary does not take into account provincial, U.S., state or other foreign income tax law or practice. The tax consequences to any particular U.S. Holder will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the jurisdictions in which that holder is subject to taxation, and generally according to that holder's particular circumstances. Accordingly, this summary is not, and is not to be construed as, Canadian tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder.

Dividends

Dividends paid or deemed to be paid to a U.S. Holder by Amarc will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Under the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% if the U.S. Holder is a corporation and beneficially owns at least 10% of Amarc's voting shares). Amarc will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any such dividend and remit it to the Canadian government for the U.S. Holder's account.

Disposition

A U.S. Holder is not subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of a common share in the open market unless the share is "taxable Canadian property" to the holder thereof and the U.S. Holder is not entitled to relief under the Treaty. A common share will be taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder if, at any time during the 60 months preceding the disposition, the U.S. Holder or persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together owned, or had rights to acquire, 25% or more of Amarc's issued shares of any class or series.

A U.S. Holder whose common shares do constitute taxable Canadian property, and who might therefore be liable for Canadian income tax under the Tax Act, will generally be relieved from such liability under the Treaty unless the value of such shares at the time of disposition is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

United States Tax Consequences

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is, in management's understanding, a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of Amarc. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences (see "Taxation –


- 63 -

Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences" above). Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares of Amarc should consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of Amarc, based upon their individual circumstances.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" means a holder of common shares of Amarc who is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof which has elected to be treated as a corporation for United States income tax purposes (under Treasury Regulation section 301.7701 -3), an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 5% of the value of the total outstanding stock of Amarc. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares. In addition, this summary does not address special rules applicable to United States persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) holding common shares through a foreign partnership or to foreign persons holding common shares through a domestic partnership.

Distribution on Common Shares of Amarc

In general, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of Amarc are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that Amarc has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at "Foreign Tax Credit" below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of Amarc, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the


- 64 -

common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally, any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, provided that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirements for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.

Dividends paid on the common shares of Amarc generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of Amarc may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of Amarc) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from Amarc (unless Amarc qualifies as a "foreign personal holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company," as defined below). Amarc does not anticipate that it will earn any United States income, however, and therefore, does not anticipate that any U.S. Holder will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.

Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on Amarc common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of Amarc common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 28% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of Amarc may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to two specific classes of income: "passive income, and "general income". Dividends distributed by Amarc will generally constitute "passive income" for these purposes. Prior to January 1, 2007, there were nine specific classes of income rather than the two stated here. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of Amarc should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.


- 65 -

Disposition of Common Shares of Amarc

In general, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of Amarc equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder's tax basis in the common shares of Amarc. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders which are individuals, estates or trusts. In general, gain or loss on the sale of common shares of Amarc will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For U.S. Holders which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

Set forth below are certain material exceptions to the above-described general rules describing the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:

Passive Foreign Investment Company

United States income tax law contains rules governing "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFIC") which can have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations. These rules do not apply to non-U.S. Holders. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is "passive income," which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of "passive income" is 50% or more. In the event that Amarc qualifies as a PFIC for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, or in future fiscal years, each U.S. Holder of Amarc is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect such U.S. Holder's tax situation.

Each U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to United States federal income taxation under one of three alternative tax regimes at the election of such U.S. Holder. The following is a discussion of such alternative tax regimes applied to such U.S. Holders of Amarc. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a "controlled foreign corporation" (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation (See more detailed discussion at "Controlled Foreign Corporation" below).

A U.S. Holder who elects to treat Amarc as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year to which the election applies in which Amarc qualifies as a PFIC on his pro rata share of Amarc's (i) "net capital gain" (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain, and (ii) "ordinary earnings" (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income, in each case, for the shareholder's taxable year in which (or with which) Amarc's taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in the common shares will be increased by any such amount that is included in income but not distributed.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election, and the consequences of such election, will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder's holding period in which Amarc is a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, i.e., a "timely" QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, Amarc qualified as a PFIC in a prior year during the U.S. Holder's holding period, then, in order to avoid the Section 1291 rules discussed below, in addition to filing documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), (i) any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or (ii) if Amarc is a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holder's pro rata share of Amarc's post-1986 earnings and profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of Amarc's first tax year in which Amarc qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. Holder who makes (i) a timely QEF election, or (ii) an untimely QEF election and either of the above-described gain-recognition elections under Section 1291 is referred to herein as an "Electing U.S. Holder." A U.S. Holder who holds common shares at any time during a year of Amarc in which Amarc is a PFIC and who is not an Electing U.S. Holder (including a U.S. Holder who makes an untimely QEF election and makes neither of the above-described gain-recognition elections) is referred to herein as a "Non-Electing U.S. Holder". An Electing U.S. Holder (i) generally treats any gain realized on the disposition of his Amarc common shares as capital gain; and (ii) may either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of Amarc's annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any interest charge imposed under the PFIC regime would be treated as "personal interest" that is not deductible.

In order for a U.S. Holder to make (or maintain) a valid QEF election, Amarc must provide certain information regarding its net capital gains and ordinary earnings and permit its books and records to be examined to verify such information. Amarc intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to Amarc. Amarc urges each U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, the QEF election.

A QEF election, once made with respect to Amarc, applies to the tax year for which it was made and to all subsequent tax years, unless the election is invalidated or terminated, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. If a QEF election is made by a U.S. Holder and Amarc ceases to qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will remain in effect, although not applicable, during those tax years in which Amarc does not qualify as a PFIC. Therefore, if Amarc again qualifies as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders in such tax year and any subsequent tax years in which Amarc qualifies as a PFIC. In addition, the QEF election remains in effect, although not applicable, with respect to an Electing U.S. Holder even after such U.S. Holder disposes of all of his or its direct and indirect interest in the shares of Amarc. Therefore, if such U.S. Holder reacquires an interest in Amarc, that U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders for each tax year in which Amarc qualifies as a PFIC.

In the case of a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reasons of a pledge) of his Amarc common shares and (ii) certain "excess distributions," as defined in Section 1291(b), by Amarc.

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of his Amarc common shares and all excess distributions on his Amarc common shares over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the


- 67 -

U.S. Holder (excluding any portion of the holder's period prior to the first day of the first year of Amarc (i) which began after December 31, 1986, and (ii) for which Amarc was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-Electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat this interest charge as "personal interest" which, as discussed above, is wholly non-deductible. The balance, if any, of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the PFIC interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the U.S. Holder.

If Amarc is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Amarc common shares, then Amarc will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Amarc common shares, even if it is no longer definitionally a PFIC. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if such Amarc common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market annually (a "mark-to-market election"). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Amarc common shares. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to market election will include in income for each taxable year as ordinary income for which the election is in effect an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares of Amarc as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in such common shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the common shares in Amarc included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been treated as a mark-to-market gain for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holders, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares of Amarc will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless Amarc common shares cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. Because the IRS has not established procedures for making a mark-to-market election, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the manner of making such an election. No view is expressed regarding whether common shares of Amarc are marketable for these purposes or whether the election will be available.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued Proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-Electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases the basis of Amarc common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those common shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, an Electing U.S. Holder would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferee's basis in this case will depend on the


- 68 -

manner of the transfer. In the case of a transfer by an Electing U.S. Holder upon death, for example, the transferee's basis is generally equal to the fair market value of the Electing U.S. Holder's common shares as of the date of death under Section 1014 of the Code. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred. Each U.S. Holder of Amarc is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect his or its tax situation.

Whether or not a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to common shares of Amarc, certain adverse rules may apply in the event that both Amarc and any foreign corporation in which Amarc directly or indirectly holds shares is a PFIC (a "lower-tier PFIC"). Pursuant to certain Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder would be treated as owning his or its proportionate amount of any lower-tier PFIC shares, and generally would be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such indirectly-held PFIC shares unless such U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect thereto. Amarc intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to each subsidiary of Amarc that is a PFIC.

Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election with respect to a lower-tier PFIC generally would be subject to tax (and the PFIC interest charge) on (i) any excess distribution deemed to have been received with respect to his or its lower-tier PFIC shares and (ii) any gain deemed to arise from a so-called "indirect disposition" of such shares. For this purpose, an indirect disposition of lower-tier PFIC shares would generally include (i) a disposition by Amarc (or an intermediate entity) of lower-tier PFIC shares, and (ii) any other transaction resulting in a dilution of the U.S. Holder's proportionate ownership of the lower-tier PFIC, including an issuance of additional common shares by Amarc (or an intermediate entity or the lower tier PFIC). Accordingly, each prospective U.S. Holder should be aware that he or it could be subject to tax even if such U.S. Holder receives no distributions from Amarc and does not dispose of its common shares.

Amarc strongly urges each prospective U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor with respect to the adverse rules applicable, under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, to U.S. Holders of lower-tier PFIC shares.

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to Amarc common shares while Amarc is a PFIC unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of the shares of Amarc is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporation, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), each of which own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote of Amarc ("United States Shareholder"), Amarc could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would affect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFC's Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of increases in the CFC's earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by


- 69 -

a U.S. Holder of common shares of Amarc which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of Amarc attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. Special rules apply to United States Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section 1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion. Amarc does not believe that it currently qualifies as a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that Amarc will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

ITEM 11 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(a) Transaction Risk and Currency Risk Management

Amarc's operations do not employ financial instruments or derivatives which are market sensitive and Amarc does not have financial market risks.

(b) Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Amarc's administrative operations are in Canada. The Company typically holds most of its funds in Canadian dollars and typically acquires foreign currency on an as-needed basis and hence it is not significantly affected by exchange rate risk. The Company does however, from time to time, invest in US$ denominated short term investments. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on such investments.

The Company currently does not engage in foreign currency hedging.

(c) Interest Rate Risk and Equity Price Risk

Amarc is equity financed and does not have any debt, other than routine accounts payable. As such, the Company is not subject to interest rate change risks.

(d) Commodity Price Risk

While the value of Amarc's resource properties can always be said to relate to the price of copper and gold metals and the outlook for same, Amarc does not have any operating mines and hence does not have any hedging or other commodity based operational risks respecting its business activities.

ITEM 15 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Procedures

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2009, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that could have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

While our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance of effectiveness, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met.

ITEM 16 AUDIT COMMITTEE, CODE OF ETHICS, ACCOUNTANT FEES AND EXEMPTIONS

A. Audit Committee Financial Expert

The board of directors has determined that Mr. Rene Carrier, a member of the audit committee of the Company, qualifies as a "financial expert" based on his education and experience analyzing and evaluating financial statements. Mr. Carrier is independent, as the term is defined by the American Stock Exchange.

B. Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company's chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and other members of senior management. The Company's Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 11.1 of the Company's Form 20-F filed on October 7, 2008. The Company's Code of Ethics can be viewed at the Company's website, www.amarcresources.com.

C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table discloses the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the Company's audit firm, De Visser Gray LLP for various services.


Services:
Year ended
March 31, 2009
Year ended
March 31, 2008
Audit Fees (1) $ 25,000 $ 20,000
Audit-Related Fees (2)
Tax Fees (3)
All Other Fees (4)
  $ 25,000 $ 20,000

Notes:

From time to time, management of the Company recommends to and requests approval from the audit committee for non-audit services to be provided by the Company's auditors. The audit committee routinely considers such requests at committee meetings, and if acceptable to a majority of the audit committee members, pre-approves such non-audit services by a resolution authorizing management to


- 77 -

engage the Company's auditors for such non-audit services, with set maximum dollar amounts for each itemized service. During such deliberations, the audit committee assesses, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered "prohibited services" as contemplated by the SEC, and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors. No material non-audit services were provided by the Company's auditors during the year ended March 31, 2009.
