Canarc Reports Additional High Grade Gold Samples at Fondaway Canyon Project
in Nevada, Provides Update on Phase 1 Drill Program
Vancouver, Canada–November 15, 2017 – Canarc Resource Corp. (the "Company") (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB:
CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) reports that rock-chip sampling at its Fondaway Canyon property, Nevada, has
returned additional high-grade gold values exceeding 5 grams per tonne (gpt) in multiple zones.
The Company also reports that it has completed six of the planned seven drill holes in the Phase 1 drill
program and expects drilling to wrap up before month end. Assay results for the first three drill holes are
also anticipated this month and complete assays for all seven holes are expected in December 2017.
Of the 56 surface rock-chip samples collected since the Company's last report on surface sampling (see
news release July 31, 2017), 28 samples exceed 0.5 gpt gold and 8 exceed 6 gpt, ranging from 6 to 42 gpt
Au (Table 1). Figure 1 shows the locations of the principal mineralized areas on the project. . The seven-
hole, 2700 meter, core drilling program currently underway is targeting Pack Rat (1 hole), Colorado (2
holes), Stibnite (1 holes), South Pit (1 hole) and South Mouth (2 holes) zones.

Figure 1: Principal Mineralized Areas at Fondaway Canyon
In the Colorado zone where northeast-striking and east-west striking mineralized zones intersect,
sample JM-FC55 returned 10.7 gpt Au over 4 meters in bleached, iron-oxide stained shale lacking
quartz veins. Another zone of altered shale lacking quartz veins about 150 m from JM-FC55
assayed 3.6 gpt Au over 2 m (JM-FC60). A 2-meter chip sample across a quartz-vein stockwork
yielded 8.0gpt Au (JM-FC51); this sample is part of a broader 75-m wide zone of veining.
Strongly-altered, iron-stained shale gouge adjacent to quartz veining about 55 m from JM-FC51
assayed 2.2 gpt Au over 0.3 m. On the north side of the Stibnite area, a 3-m chip across a zone of
strongly-altered, bleached and iron-stained shale lacking quartz veins returned 9.9 gpt Au (JM-
FC64). These sampling results continue to demonstrate that significant gold mineralization can
occur in alteration zones lacking quartz veins.
The area of the Reed pit contains magnetite-rich skarn and silicification in marble. JM-FC65,
collected from a stockpile from the Reed pit, consists of marble cut by a jasperoid-like silica
stockwork. The sample contains 42.1 gpt Au (1.23 ounces per ton). The Company is attempting
to locate this mineralization in outcrop. Other samples from the Reed pit area have returned
anomalous gold (e.g., JM-FC50 with 0.6 gpt Au in massive magnetite skarn).
Mineralization at Reed is distinct from the rest of the district, and the Company's analysis of the
area is on-going.
Continued sampling at the South Mouth pit area has yielded strong gold mineralization beyond
the areas mined shallowly (<30 m) by Tenneco Minerals from 1989-1990. High-grade gold occurs
in "shear-zone" type veins accompanied by strong alteration in adjacent shale. JM-FC84 assayed
7.9 gpt over 2 m about 50 m on strike from previous mining, and JM-FC86 assayed 3.7 over 2 m
about 150 m on strike from previous mining. The sampling continues to identify disseminated
gold as well. Sample JM-FC85 returned 0.6 gpt Au over 1 m in hematite-stained shale.
Disseminated gold in shale was also found at Mid Realm east of the South Mouth pits; JM-FC89
assayed 2.0 g/t Au over 1 m in bleached, weakly iron-stained shale lacking quartz veins about 100
m east of the old pits.
In the South Pit area, sample JM-FC49 assayed 3.3 gpt over 0.5 m within a broader 25 m wide,
northeast-striking vein and alteration zone that also includes JM-FC48 with 1.7 gpt Au over 1.5
m. These samples are 110 m southwest of and along strike with sample JM-FC33 reported
previously (15.7 gpt Au over 0.5 m).
Silica Ridge contains a series of en-echelon quartz-vein stockwork zones across 350 m. Historical
shallow drilling intersected significant gold, including TF-281 with 1.6 gpt Au over 41.1 m that
contains four, 1.5 m samples between 3 and 4 gpt Au. The Company's recent surface sampling
yielded 1.7 gpt over 4 m in JM-FC79 and 1.4 gpt over 2 m in JM-FC80. The adjacent Hamburger
Hill area contains east-striking shear-zone style quartz veins and bleached/altered zones in shale.
A 3-m chip across bleached, weakly iron-stained shale with minor stibnite-bearing quartz veins
assayed 11.1 g/t Au (JM-FC100). Sample JM-FC99, 130 m east of JM-FC100, assayed 6.0 g/t Au
across 1 m in strongly iron-stained shale with quartz veins. The mineralized zone in this area
reaches 35 m in width. Historical drilling intersected significant gold, including 10.0 g/t Au over
10.7 m (with 16.6 g/t over 6.1 m) in hole TF-141, which drilled below the area of sample JM-
FC100.
Sampling at Stibnite Boulders returned strong gold values, with 6.0 over 0.5 m (JM-FC74) and 3.9
gpt over 1 m (JM-FC77). A float block of stibnite-rich quartz veining assayed 1.98 gpt Au. The
Stibnite Boulder area is located at the southwest corner of the district-scale dilation zone
discussed previously but has seen little exploration work. The structural intersections at the
corners of the dilation zone mark areas of stronger, broader mineralization and are key
exploration targets; the other corners being the Colorado, Stibnite and South Pit areas.
Canarc continues to be encouraged by the positive results from the surface sampling and
mapping program which confirm the presence of numerous high-grade mineralized zones across
the property. These positive results and results from the past and present drilling programs will
be analyzed to define future exploration drilling targets on the property.
