Canarc Arranges CA$40,000 in Private Placement Financing

The private placement consists of up to 326,000 units priced at CA$0.1225 per unit for gross proceeds of up to approximately CA$40,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each full warrant can be exercised to purchase one common share at CA$0.165 within an 18 month period.

A 7% finder's fee is payable in cash on a portion of this placement. The private placement is subject to exchange and regulatory approvals, and the shares will be subject to the standard four month hold period (and a US legend for American subscribers only).

The recently completed $0.10 unit private placement was oversubscribed by a small amount but the TSX did not approve the over-subscription so all the participants in that financing were cut back on a pro rata basis. The current $0.1225 unit offering is being taken up by some of the participants in the $0.10 offering in order to accommodate their previously over-subscribed amounts.

The net proceeds of the unit private placement will be added to working capital.
