Amarc Resources Ltd. confirmed that the TWINS target in its JOY District has been validated as a porphyry copper‑gold system, marking the third major discovery in the district after AuRORA and CANYON. The confirmation came from assay results released on February 19 2026, and positions the district as a growing copper‑gold play in north‑central British Columbia.
The TWINS discovery lies approximately 17 km southeast of the AuRORA deposit and was identified during a series of drilling programs that began in 2024. The assays show copper and gold mineralization that aligns with the district’s characteristic porphyry style, reinforcing the geological model that has guided Amarc’s exploration strategy.
Amarc’s partnership with Freeport‑McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc. continues to underpin the JOY District program. Freeport’s investment and technical support have accelerated drilling and enabled the company to bring the TWINS target to the surface, underscoring the value of joint‑venture collaboration in advancing high‑potential exploration projects.
The confirmation of TWINS adds to Amarc’s resource base and strengthens the case for the JOY District as a potential world‑class copper‑gold camp. The district’s proximity to major infrastructure and its placement within the Toodoggone‑Kemess porphyry province give it a competitive advantage over other emerging districts in the region.
Management has highlighted the discovery as evidence that the district’s porphyry potential is still largely untapped. While specific assay grades are not disclosed, the confirmation of a third porphyry system supports Amarc’s long‑term strategy of building a portfolio of district‑scale assets that can be developed in partnership with major mining companies.
