Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that it has filed on SEDAR an updated, independent, technical report ("technical report") for the Fondaway Canyon property located in Churchill County, Nevada, USA.

Fondaway Canyon is an advanced stage gold exploration property located in Churchill County, Nevada, USA, part of an 11-property package acquired by Canarc in March 2017. The property includes 136 unpatented claims covering 900 hectares, and has a history of previous surface exploration and open pit gold mining in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

Canarc commissioned Techbase International of Reno, Nevada to complete a technical Report for the Fondaway Canyon Project. The updated resource estimate included in the technical report is shown in the table below.

Resource Category	Tonnes1 (t)	Grade (g/t) Au	Ounces2 (oz) Au	Type
Indicated	2,050,000	6.18	409,000	UG/Sulfide
Inferred	3,200,000	6.40	660,000	UG/Sulfide
1 Resource based on cut-off of 1.8m horizontal width >= 3.43 g/t 2 Rounding differences may occur

1. CIM Definition Standards were followed for reporting the Mineral Resource estimates

2. Mineral Resources are reported on a dry, in-situ basis. A bulk density of 2.56 tonnes/m3 was applied for volume to tonnes conversion.

3. The reporting cutoff grade of 3.43 g/t was based on capital and operating costs for a similar project, the three-year trailing average Au price of $US 1,225/ oz Au , a metallurgical recovery of 90%, and an underground mining method suitable for steeply-dipping veins.

4. Mineral Resources are estimated from surface to approximately 400 m depth.

5. The quantity and grade of Inferred Resources in this estimate are uncertain in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category. Environmental, geotechnical, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio?EUR?political, marketing or other relevant issues could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.

The Resource Estimate was prepared by Michael Norred, SME Registered Member 2384950; President of Techbase International, Ltd (Techbase) of Reno, Nevada andSimon Henderson, MSc, MAusIMM CP 110883 (Geology); Consulting Geologist with Wairaka Rock Services Limited of Wellington, New Zealand, both independent Qualified Persons (QPs), as defined by NI 43-101.Garry Biles, P. Eng, President & COO of Canarc Resource Corp, is the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the contents of this news release. Garry Biles is not independent of Canarc by the nature of his position with the company.

The current Mineral Resource estimate relates only to the eastern half of the 4000m east-west striking mineralized system, and does not include any estimates for near-surface, oxide mineralization. Significant exploration potential remains both in the eastern section, and relatively untested western zone.

Multiple exploration targets have been identified along favorable structural extensions that have potential to host additional significant gold resources.A 30-hole drill program, estimated to cost $2.0 million, has been recommended by Techbase International to explore these identified targets as well upgrade more of the resources into the indicated category.

With the support of two experienced Nevada based professional geologists, Canarc has begun a comprehensive review of Fondaway Canyon Project to evaluate the exploration potential and establish an exploration plan for 2017.

Mr. Catalin Chiloflischi, Canarc CEO, stated: "The timely completion of the updated resource estimate for Fondaway Canyon marks yet another important achievement. During 2017, the Company plans to advance its Nevada projects through additional exploration to test certain high priority drill targets for the potential of new discoveries. We are very excited about Canarc's new opportunities in Nevada."
