Canarc Closes CA$1.1 Million Private Placement Financing
July 25, 2007
Vancouver, Canada – July 25, 2007 - Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM: OTC-BB: CRCUF, DBFrankfurt: CAN) announces that it has now closed the recently announced non-brokered private placement equity financing for a total of CA$1.1 million.
The private placement consisted of 2,200,000 units priced at CA$0.52 each for gross proceeds of CA$1,144,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half of a share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable to purchase an additional common share at an exercise price of CA$0.65 for a one year period from the date of closing. Finders’ fees of 6% totaling $32,760 were paid for a portion of the private placement. The units will be subject to the standard four month hold period. The financing was well oversubscribed but management elected to close only the previously announced amount so as to minimize shareholder dilution.
Canarc will use the net proceeds to explore its Providencia/Los Arrastres and Santiago gold projects in Mexico, to acquire additional strategic gold properties in Mexico, and for working capital. Phase 1 exploration work, including geological mapping, rock sampling, geochemical soil sampling and hand trenching is now underway on the Los Arrastres portion of the Providencia project in order to identify top priority targets for drilling within the next two months.
Canarc Resource Corp. is a growth-oriented, gold exploration company listed on the TSX (CCM) and the OTC-BB (CRCUF). Canarc is currently focused on advancing its 1.15 million oz New Polaris gold project in north-western British Columbia to the feasibility stage and on acquiring attractive near-term gold exploration and mining projects in Mexico. Barrick Gold Corp. is a shareholder.
