Canarc Announces Phase 1 Drill Program at Corral Canyon Gold Project,
Nevada
______________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, Canada – October 1 5, 2019 – Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC -QB:
CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that a Phase 1, four hole, 1,37 5 meter core drilling
program has commenced at its Corral Canyon project, Nevada. Corral Canyon is located 115
km north of Winnemucca and 70 km north of the past-producing, high-grade Sleeper gold mine
(1.7 million ounces (oz) past production, 3.1 million oz resource) in northwestern Nevada.
Scott Eldridge, Canarc's CEO, stated: “We are excited to commence our maiden drill program at
Corral Canyon, reflecting our refined corporate strategy to focus on exploring for new discoveries.
The project's low sulfidation epithermal type of gold mineralization, its geological characteristics
and location are considered very prospective.”
“The drill program will test two of four targets identified to date for both broad, shallow, lower
grade disseminated gold mineralization as well as narrower, deeper, high -grade “bonanza” type
veins. Prior exploration focused largely on one area of shallow, low grade disseminated gold
mineralization whereas Canarc’s main focus is to test the potential for high grade feeder veins.”
As outlined in the Company's news release on September 30th, 2019, four priority drill targets
have been identified on the property. For this first phase of drilling, two of these targets, the
NW and SW Targets, will be tested with two core holes each at lengths ranging from about 225
to 450 m for an expected total of about 1,375 m (view target map).
The SW Target comprises a new area of gold -silver mineralization discovered by Canarc this
summer that extends the gold system to the south by at least 500 m. Surface sample results
include 0 .735 g/t Au over 2 m in rock chips and 114 ppb Au in soils along the basalt/rhyolite
contact similar to the NW Target 2 km to the north. Canarc plans to drill below the surface
geochemical anomalies coincident with a prominent high -chargeability zone defined by a
historical gradient-array IP survey . The two holes will test the basalt/rhyolite contact down
dip and also test for steeply dipping faults that could host high-grade mineralization.
At the NW Target, Canarc plans to test the continuation of known stratiform m ineralization to
depth and along strike as well as test for high-grade gold at deeper levels within two faults that
could host high-grade mineralization. The NW Target was t he focus of historic exploration
drilling which identified extensive, low-grade, disseminated gold within a sulfidic silicified zone

and quartz-vein stockwork following a basalt/rhyolite contact. Local high -grade quartz veins
were also intersected. This stratiform style of mineralization is up to 40 m thick and includes
intersections of 0.36 gpt Au over 42.7 m including 0.54 gpt o ver 16.8 m. The high -grade
mineralization includes 14.9 gpt Au over 1.5 m within 2.64 gpt Au over 10.7 m.
About Corral Canyon
The Company owns 92 mining claims covering 730 hectares that were acquired by staking in
late 2018 and have no underlying royalties. The project covers a significant, volcanic-hosted,
low sulfidation epithermal gold system of Middle Miocene age that is at least 2.8 km long. Corral
Canyon is geologically similar to other high -grade deposits of this type in the northwestern
Great Basin of Nevada, including Sleeper, Midas, Fire Creek, Hollister, Rawhide, Mule Canyon
and Buckhorn. The project lies along the north -northwest trending Western Nevada rift that,
to the south, includes the geologically-similar Sleeper, Sandman and Goldbanks deposits.
