NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT ---------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Canarc Agrees to CA$450,000 Private Placement Financing
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
May 22, 2001
Bradford J. Cooke, President and C.E.O of Canarc Resource Corp. (CCM-TSE)
is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed to a CA$450,000 equity
financing with certain shareholders.
The private placement is for 3 million units priced at CA$0.15 per unit,
each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase
warrant. The warrants have a three year term and each warrant can be exercised
to purchase a common share at CA$0.18 within two years and CA$0.20 within
the third year.
The proceeds will be added to working capital so as to maintain a positive
treasury into 2002. Canarc recently introduced further cost-cutting measures
by laying off the balance of its geological staff. However, they remain
available as needed on a consulting basis.
Canarc plans to further develop its existing gold property portfolio
pending higher gold prices. In 2001, the Company will also focus on forming
a joint venture or strategic alliance with a major company in order to
drill the attractive new Clara property in Mexico.
Canarc Resource Corp. is a growth-oriented, international gold exploration
and mining company. Our attractive property portfolio includes projects
in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and Suriname. Major shareholders include
Barrick Gold and Echo Bay Mines. The Company’s common shares trade
under the symbol “CCM” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and “CRCUF”
on the OTC Bulletin Board.
