Canarc Closes CA$1.275 Million Private Placement Financing

Vancouver, Canada – December 13, 2010 – Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, DB-F: CAN) announces that it has closed a CA$1,275,000 non-brokered private placement financing.

The private placement consisted of 8,500,000 units priced at CA$0.15 each.  Each unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant.  Each full warrant can be exercised to purchase an additional common share at CA$0.22 within an 18 month period.

The units will be subject to the standard four month hold period (and a US legend for American subscribers only).  Canarc will use the net proceeds to pay down current liabilities, evaluate prospective gold mine property acquisitions, and for working capital purposes.

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 exploring its recently acquired Tay LP gold property in south-central Yukon and seeking a partner to advance its 1.1 million oz, high grade, underground, New Polaris gold mine project in north-western British Columbia to the feasibility stage.
