BASIS OF PREPARATION


(a)

Statement of compliance

   

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and results of operations of the Company since the last annual financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended March 31, 2012 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and which are publicly available at www.sedar.com. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

   
(b)

Judgements and estimates

   

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

   

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2012.

   

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.

(a)

Newton Property

   

In August 2009, the Company entered into an agreement ("Newton Agreement") with Newton Gold Corp. ("Newton Gold") (at that time named New High Ridge Resources Inc.), whereby the Company acquired the right to earn an 80% interest in the Newton property by making certain cash and share payments to the underlying owners and funding $4,940,000 in exploration expenditures over a specified period.

   

The agreement with Newton Gold was subject to an underlying option agreement ("Underlying Agreement") with arm's length parties, whereby Newton Gold had the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in all the claims held under that Underlying Agreement through a series of staged payments and share issuances (which payments and share issuances have been completed), in addition to the required exploration expenditures (which have also been completed). All the conditions in the Newton Agreement were met in May 2011, and the Company's 80% interest in the Newton property then vested. Amarc entered into the Newton Joint Venture Agreement (the "Newton JV Agreement") with Newton Gold. In June 2011, the Company and Newton Gold agreed to incorporate adjacent mineral claims then held by the Company into the Newton JV Agreement. The Company recorded a gain of $679,050 on this transaction, as the Company's expenditures on these adjacent mineral claims had previously been expensed.




Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

   

On March 1, 2012, Newton Gold ceased its pro-rata funding of the Newton Joint Venture. Consequently, expenditures on the properties subject to the Newton JV Agreement on or subsequent to March 1, 2012 are on the account of the Company.

   

In May 2012, subsequent to the year end, the Newton JV Agreement was terminated and the 20% participating interest of Newton Gold was converted to a 5% net profits interest. Accordingly, Amarc holds a 100% interest in the Newton Property.

   

The mineral claims defined in the underlying option agreement to the Newton Agreement are subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR"), which royalty may be purchased at any time by Amarc for $2,000,000. Advance royalty payments of $25,000 per annum commenced on January 1, 2011.

   
(b)

Galileo and Hubble Properties

   

Amarc owns a 100% interest in the approximately 970 square kilometre Galileo and Hubble properties, which are located within the Blackwater district, located approximately 120 kilometres southwest of Vanderhoof, BC.

   

In December 2011, Amarc purchased the 70 square kilometre Hubble East exploration property for $50,000 cash and 80,000 common shares of Amarc. The cash payment and the share issuance were completed in January 2012.


(c)

Blackwater South Property

   

In September 2011, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with an individual (the "Optionor"), whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the Blackwater South property, which is located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia, by making cash payments of $35,000 and issuing 140,000 common shares in tranches over a two year period. The Company must also expend a minimum of $50,000 in exploration expenditures prior to October 20, 2013, and a further $50,000 must be expended prior to October 20, 2014. The Optionor will retain a net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") of 2%. By making a cash payment of $1,000,000 at any time, the Company may purchase one half of the royalty (1%) and cap the remaining 1% royalty at $5,000,000.

   

To June 30, 2012, the Company had paid $5,000 and issued 20,000 shares to the Optionor, and had incurred approximately $42,000 in exploration expenditures on the Blackwater South property.

   
(d)

Tulox Property

   

The Tulox property (the "Property") was acquired by the Company in stages by staking between 2005 to 2007.

   

In April 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Tulox Resources Inc. ("Tulox") (formerly named Sitec Ventures Corp.), and amended the agreement on March 23, 2010 and July 27, 2010, whereby Tulox may acquire a 50% interest in the Property for consideration of 1,525,000 Tulox common shares and by incurring $1,000,000 in expenditures on the Property over three years. Under this agreement, Tulox may acquire a 100% interest by issuing an additional 1,100,000 of its common shares to Amarc and by incurring a further $1,000,000 in expenditures on the property on or before August 1, 2013.




Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

In July 2011, Tulox assigned the option agreement to a subsidiary company, Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. ("Newlox"), as part of a corporate reorganization and Newlox entered into an amended option agreement with Amarc, which was further amended in December 2011. Pursuant to the latest amendments, Newlox can acquire a 100% interest in the Property by spending $2,000,000 on the Property and issuing 2,325,000 common shares in its capital to Amarc, in tranches ending December 2014.

   

To June 30, 2012, the Company had received $10,000 cash and 775,000 Tulox common shares under the agreements and a further 225,000 Newlox common shares under the amended option agreement. The agreement is subject to certain conditions including regulatory approval.

   

Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a 3% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") following the commencement of commercial production on the Property. In addition, the Company receives a "back–in right" whereby the Company can acquire a 60% interest in the Property by agreeing, within 90 days of the completion of a pre–feasibility study, to fund a further $10,000,000 of exploration expenditures on the Property. However, upon exercise of the "back–in right", the Company's entitlement to an NSR will reduce to 1.2% from 3%.

   
(e)

Franklin Property

   

In March 2012, Amarc purchased outright 100% of the Franklin property under a Mineral Property Purchase Agreement with two unrelated individuals (the "Vendors"), in consideration of the payment by Amarc to the Vendors of $10,000 and the issuance to the Vendors of 10,000 Amarc common shares. The cash payment and the share issuance were completed in April 2012.

   

The Franklin property lies 17 kilometers north of the Blackwater deposit and occupies an area of approximately 4.8 square kilometres.
