Canarc Closes CA$960,000 in Two Private Placement Financings
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 26, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM)(OTCBB: CRCUF)(DBFrankfurt: CAN) announces that it has closed the two non-brokered private placement equity financings totaling CA$960,000 that were announced on September 9, 2009.
The first private placement consisted of 4,000,000 flow-through shares priced at CA$0.12 each for gross proceeds of CA$480,000. The flow-through shares will entitle the holders to a 100% CEE deduction, as well as the 15% federal tax credit in Canada.
The second private placement consisted of 4,800,000 units priced at CA$0.10 each for gross proceeds of CA$480,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half share purchase warrant. Each full warrant can be exercised to purchase an additional common share at CA$0.15 within an 18 month period.
Three flow-through funds of MineralFields Group participated in the flow through placement for 2,888,000 shares or CA $346,560 in total. MineralFields Group (a division of Pathway Asset Management), based in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, is a mining fund with significant assets under administration that offers its tax-advantaged super flow-through limited partnerships to investors throughout Canada.
Both private placements were over-subscribed by a small margin (13-17%) but the TSX did not approve the oversubscribed amounts. The Company is considering an appeal of the TSX decision not to approve the oversubscribed amounts.

Canarc is currently focused on exploring its recently acquired Tay LP gold property in south-central Yukon and seeking a partner to advance its New Polaris gold mine project in north-western British Columbia to the feasibility stage.
