Canarc Closes CA$960,000 in Two Private Placement Financings
Vancouver, Canada � October 26, 2009
- Canarc Resource Corp. (CCM: TSX,
CRCUF: OTC-BB, CAN: DB-F) announces that it has closed the two non-brokered
private placement equity financings totaling CA$960,000 that were announced
on September 9, 2009.
The first private placement consisted of 4,000,000
flow-through shares priced at CA$0.12 each for gross proceeds of
CA$480,000. The flow-through shares will entitle the holders to a 100% CEE
deduction, as well as the 15% federal tax credit in Canada.
The second private placement consisted of 4,800,000
units priced at CA$0.10 each for gross proceeds of CA$480,000. Each unit
consisted of one common share and one half share purchase warrant. Each
full warrant can be exercised to purchase an additional common share at
CA$0.15 within an 18 month period.
Three flow-through funds of MineralFields Group
participated in the flow through placement for 2,888,000 shares or CA
$346,560 in total. MineralFields Group (a division of Pathway Asset
Management), based in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, is a mining fund with
significant assets under administration that offers its tax-advantaged
super flow-through limited partnerships to investors throughout Canada.
Both private placements were over-subscribed by a
small margin (13-17%) but the TSX did not approve the oversubscribed
amounts. The Company is considering an appeal of the TSX decision not
to approve the oversubscribed amounts.
