Canarc Closes Acquisition of Oro Silver and its El Compas Gold-Silver Mining Project in Zacatecas, Mexico and Last Tranche of Private Placement

Vancouver, Canada – October 30, 2015 – Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that it has closed the definitive agreement (“Agreement”) with Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. whereby Canarc acquired 100% of the shares in Marlin’s wholly owned subsidiary company, Oro Silver Resources Ltd. (“Oro Silver”), which owns the fully permitted El Compas Gold-Silver Mine Project (“El Compas”) in Zacatecas, Mexico.

The Agreement


According to the agreement, Canarc acquired a 100% interest in Marlin’s wholly owned subsidiary Oro Silver that owns 100% of El Compas. Based on the agreement, Canarc has issued Marlin a total of 19 million Canarc common shares (representing approximately 10% of the Canarc shares outstanding post closing) in exchange of 100% interest in Oro Silver.

Additionally, on each of the first three anniversaries of the definitive agreement, 55 troy ounces of gold (or the US dollar equivalent) will be paid by Canarc to Marlin, or any of its subsidiaries. Marlin will also receive a 1.5% NSR on all Non-Altiplano claims that currently have no royalty on them.

Marlin has also invested an additional CAD$100,000 into the Canarc’s earlier announced private placement in exchange of 1,666,666 units priced at CAD$0.06 each. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles Marlin to purchase one additional share at Cdn$0.08 for a three year period.

Mr. Akiba Leisman, Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim CEO of Marlin, subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, has been appointed as a director of Canarc.

Short Term Plans


Canarc management is now focusing on completing an NI 43-101 report with detailed technical and financial plans over the next three months in order to bring the El Compas mine into production in 2016. That report should help facilitate the financing needed to bring the mine to production.
