Canarc Arranges $8 Million Debt Financing to Develop El Compas Gold-Silver Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico to Production

Vancouver, Canada – March 7, 2016 – Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that it has executed an indicative term sheet for up to US$10 million in debt financing by way of a gold prepaid facility with a leading North American resource fund in order to develop the El Compas gold-silver mine in Zacatecas, Mexico to production.

During the next 60 days, the Company will work with the lender to complete their due diligence and a definitive agreement. Financing terms will be disclosed upon closing.

Catalin Chiloflischi CEO stated: "We are pleased to accept this indicative offer of an US$8 million debt financing (up to US$10 million if needed) from a well-known resource fund. The funds will be used to develop the El Compas mine and refurbish and upgrade the La Plata plant for production late this year. El Compas should be an economically robust, low cost mine with all in sustaining costs estimated at US$614 per ounce of gold equivalent. Considering the PEA was done at a gold price of US$1,100, today's higher spot gold price should enhance our financial returns. Canarc is now on the doorstep to a much brighter future and I want to thank our shareholders for their patience and confidence. "
