Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

dorė – bullion of gold, with minor silver and copper produced by smelting, prior to refining.

epithermal – used to describe hydrothermal mineral deposits, typically in veins, formed at lower temperatures and pressures within 1 km of the earth surface.

Exchange Act – means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

feasibility study – a detailed report assessing the feasibility, economics and engineering of placing a mineral deposit into commercial production.

flotation – a mineral recovery process using soapy compounds to float finely ground metallic minerals into a concentrate.

garimpeiros – a Brazilian term used in South America referring to small scale, artisanal miners and prospectors.

gold deposit - means a mineral deposit mineralised with gold.

gold equivalent - a method of presenting combined gold and silver concentrations or weights for comparison purposes. Commonly involves expressing silver as its proportionate value in gold based on the relative values of the two metals.

gold resource – see mineral resource.

gpt - grams per tonne.

grams per cubic meter - alluvial mineralisation measured by grams of gold contained per cubic meter of material, a measure of gold content by volume not by weight.

greenstone - a field term for any compact dark-green altered or metamorphosed basic igneous rock that owes its colour to green minerals such as chlorite, actinolite or epidote.

indicated resource - means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics, can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.

inferred resource - means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

laterite - highly weathered residual superficial soils and decomposed rocks, rich in iron and aluminum oxides, that are characteristically developed in tropical climates.

lode mining – mining of ore, typically in the form of veins or stockworks.

Form 20-F

measured resource - means that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.

mesothermal – used to describe hydrothermal mineral deposits, typically in veins, formed at higher temperatures and pressures deeper than 1 km of the earth’s surface.

mineral reserve means the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.

mineral resource – a body of mineralized material which has not yet been determined to be ore, and the potential for mining of which has not yet been determined; categorized as possible, probable and proven, according to the degree of certainty with which their grade and tonnage are known; sometimes referred to as a “geological resource” or “mineral inventory”.

net profits interest or NPI – a royalty based on the net profits generated after recovery of all costs.

net smelter royalty or NSR - a royalty based on the gross proceeds received from the sale of minerals less the cost of smelting, refining, freight and other related costs.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS

This annual report on Form 20-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

3.D Risk Factors

The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Registrant’s operations and industry that may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of, the Registrant’s future financial performance.

Risks Related to the Registrant’s Business

The Registrant’s exploration activities may not be commercially successful, which could lead it to abandon its plans to develop its mineral property interests and its investments in exploration and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that its exploration and development programs and mineral property interests will result in the discovery, development or production of a commercially viable ore body.

The business of exploration for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the Registrant’s mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of bodies of commercial ore. Unusual or unexpected geological structures or formations, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, floods, explosions, cave-ins, land slides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. The Registrant has relied and may continue to rely upon consultants and others for construction and operating expertise. The economics of developing gold and other mineral properties are affected by many factors including capital and operating costs, variations of the grade of ore mined, fluctuating mineral markets, costs of processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. Depending on the price of gold or other minerals produced, the Registrant may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production. Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from ore, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. No assurance can be given that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Registrant’s control and which cannot be accurately foreseen or predicted, such as market fluctuations, the global marketing conditions for precious and base metals, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting minerals and environmental protection. In order to commence exploitation of certain properties presently held under exploration concessions, it is necessary for the Registrant to apply for an exploitation concession. There can be no guarantee that such a concession will be granted.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant’s planned operations will require future financing and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that it will be able to secure the financing necessary to explore, develop and produce its mineral property interests.

The Registrant does not presently have sufficient financial resources or operating cash flows to undertake by itself all of its planned exploration and development programs. The development of the Registrant’s mineral property interests may therefore depend on the Registrant’s joint venture partners, if any, and on the Registrant’s ability to obtain additional required financing. There is no assurance the Registrant will be successful in obtaining the required financing, the lack of which could result in the loss or substantial dilution of its interests (as existing or as proposed to be acquired) in its mineral property interests as disclosed herein. In addition, the Registrant does not have sufficient experience in developing mining properties into production and its ability to do so will be dependent upon securing the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major mining companies which can provide such expertise.

As noted in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Registrant has no operating revenues, has incurred significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $50.3 million at December 31, 2014. Furthermore, the Registrant has a working capital deficiency of approximately $156,000 as at December 31, 2014, and lack sufficient funds to achieve the Registrant’s planned business objectives. The Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued financial support from its shareholders and other related parties, the ability of the Registrant to raise equity financing, and the attainment of profitable operations, external financings and further share issuances to meet the Registrant’s liabilities as they become payable.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on the December 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements includes an additional paragraph that states the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The figures for the Registrant’s resources are estimates based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that any estimates of mineral deposits herein will not change.

Although all figures with respect to the size and grade of mineralized deposits included herein have been carefully prepared by the Registrant, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially viable mineable ore body that can be legally and economically exploited. Estimates regarding mineralized deposits can also be affected by many factors such as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that gold recovered in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions. Material changes in mineralized tonnages, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of projects. The existence of mineralized deposits should not be interpreted as assurances of the future delineation of ore reserves or the profitability of future operations. The refractory nature of gold mineralization at New Polaris project may adversely affect the economic recovery of gold from mining operations.

Changes in the market price of gold, silver and other metals, which in the past have fluctuated widely, will affect the profitability of the Registrant’s planned operations and financial condition and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that mineral prices will not change.

The mining industry is competitive and mineral prices fluctuate so that there is no assurance, even if commercial quantities of a mineral resource are discovered, that a profitable market will exist for the sale of same. Factors beyond the control of the Registrant may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. The prices of precious and base metals fluctuate on a daily basis, have experienced volatile and significant price movements over short periods of time, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Registrant, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations (specifically, the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies), interest rates, central bank transactions, world supply for precious and base metals, international investments, monetary systems, and global or regional consumption patterns (such as the development of gold coin programs), speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. The supply of and demand for gold are affected by various factors, including political events, economic conditions and production costs in major gold producing regions, and governmental policies with respect to gold holdings by a nation or its citizens. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, and the combination of these factors may result in the Registrant not receiving adequate returns on invested capital or the investments retaining their respective values. There is no assurance that the prices of gold and other precious and base metals will be such that the Registrant’s properties can be mined at a profit.

Form 20-F

There is no assurance given by the Registrant that it owns legal title to its mineral property interests.

The acquisition of title to mineral property interests is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Title to any of the Registrant’s mining concessions may come under dispute. While the Registrant has diligently investigated title considerations to its mineral property interests, in certain circumstances, the Registrant has only relied upon representations of property partners and government agencies. There is no guarantee of title to any of the Registrant’s mineral property interests. The mineral property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers, and title may be affected by unidentified and undetected defects. In British Columbia and elsewhere, native land claims or claims of aboriginal title may be asserted over areas in which the Registrant’s mineral property interests are located. To the best of the knowledge of the Registrant, although the Registrant understands that comprehensive land claims submissions have been received by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada from the Taku Tlingit (Atlin) Band (which encompasses the New Polaris property) and from the Association of United Tahltans and the Nisga’a Tribal Council (which may encompass the Eskay Creek property), no legal actions have been formally served on the Registrant to date asserting such rights with respect to mining properties in which the Registrant has an interest.

The Registrant competes with larger, better capitalized competitors in the mining industry and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that it can compete for mineral properties, future financings and technical expertise.

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of gold acquisition opportunities available in North, South and Central America and elsewhere in the world. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies which have greater financial and technical resources than the Registrant, the Registrant may be unable to acquire additional attractive gold mining properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Registrant’s exploration and acquisition programs will yield any new resources or reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.

The Registrant may also encounter increasing competition from other mining companies in its efforts to hire experienced mining professionals. Competition for exploration resources at all levels is currently very intense, particularly affecting the availability of manpower, drill rigs, mining equipment and production equipment. Increased competition could adversely affect the Registrant’s ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant’s directors and officers may have conflicts of interest as a result of their relationships with other companies and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that its directors and officers will not have conflicts of interest from time to time.

The Registrant’s directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other public resource companies or have significant shareholdings in other public resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Registrant may participate, the directors of the Registrant may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In particular, Bradford Cooke, a Director of the Registrant, is also a Director of Aztec Metals Corp. (“Aztec”) and Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour”), companies in which the Registrant previously owned or currently owns shares. The interests of these companies may differ from time to time. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Registrant’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against any resolution involving any such conflict. From time to time several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another company due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. In accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, the directors of the Registrant are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Registrant. In determining whether or not the Registrant will participate in any particular exploration or mining project at any given time, the directors will primarily consider the upside potential for the project to be accretive to shareholders, the degree of risk to which the Registrant may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

The Registrant does not insure against all risks which we may be subject to in our planned operations and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that it is adequately insured against all risks.

The Registrant may become subject to liability for cave-ins, pollution or other hazards against which it cannot insure or against which it has elected not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons. The payment of such liabilities would reduce the funds available for exploration and mining activities.

The Registrant is subject to significant governmental and environmental regulations and there is no assurance given by the Registrant that it has met all environmental or regulatory requirements.

The current or future operations of the Registrant, including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its mineral property interests, require permits from various foreign, federal, state and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required in order for the Registrant to commence production on its various mineral property interests will be obtained. Additional permits and studies, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, are necessary prior to operation of the other properties in which the Registrant has interests and there can be no assurance that the Registrant will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. New laws or regulations or amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation of current laws, regulations or permits, could have a material adverse impact on the Registrant and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

As a prior holder of an interest in a U.S. mineral property, the Registrant may be subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”). CERCLA, along with analogous statutes in certain states, imposes strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of facilities which release hazardous substances into the environment. CERCLA imposes similar liability upon generators and transporters of hazardous substances disposed of at an off-site facility from which a release has occurred or is threatened. Under CERCLA’s strict joint and several liability provisions, the Registrant could potentially be liable for all remedial costs associated with property that it owned or operated regardless of whether the Registrant’s activities are the actual cause of the release of hazardous substances. Such liability could include the cost of removal or remediation of the release and damages for injury to the natural resources. The Registrant’s one prior property was located in a historic mining district and may include abandoned mining facilities (including waste piles, tailings, portals and associated underground and surface workings). Releases from such facilities or from any of the Registrant’s prior U.S. properties due to past or current activities could form the basis for liability under CERCLA and its analogs. In addition, off-site disposal of hazardous substances, including hazardous mining wastes, may subject the Registrant to CERCLA liability. The Registrant’s prior U.S. property is not, to the Registrant’s knowledge, currently listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List and the Registrant is not aware of pending or threatened CERCLA litigation which names the Registrant as a defendant or concerns any of its prior U.S. properties or operations. The Registrant cannot predict the potential for future CERCLA liability with respect to its prior U.S. property, nor can it predict the potential impact or future direction of CERCLA litigation in the area surrounding its prior property.

To the best of the Registrant’s knowledge, the Registrant is operating in compliance with all applicable environmental and regulatory regulations.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Land reclamation requirements for the Registrant’s properties may be burdensome.

There is a risk that monies allotted for land reclamation may not be sufficient to cover all risks, due to changes in the nature of the waste rock or tailings and/or revisions to government regulations. Therefore additional funds, or reclamation bonds or other forms of financial assurance may be required over the tenure of the project to cover potential risks. These additional costs may have material adverse impact on the financial condition and results of the Registrant.

Mining is inherently dangerous and subject to conditions or events beyond the Registrant’s control, which could have a material adverse effect on the Registrant’s business.

Mining involves various types of risks and hazards, including:

environmental hazards,

power outages,

metallurgical and other processing problems,

unusual or unexpected geological formations,

structural cave-ins or slides,

flooding, fire, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and rock-bursts,

inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour,

metals losses, and

periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.

These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. The Registrant may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance against certain environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from production, is not generally available to the Registrant or to other companies within the mining industry. The Registrant may suffer a material adverse effect on its business if it incurs losses related to any significant events that are not covered by its insurance policies.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant will be required to locate mineral reserves for its long-term success.

Because mines have limited lives based on proven and probable mineral reserves, the Registrant will have to continually replace and expand its mineral reserves, if any. The Registrant’s ability to maintain or increase its annual production of gold and other base or precious metals once its current properties are producing, if at all, will be dependent almost entirely on its ability to acquire, explore, and develop new properties and bring new mines into production.

The Registrant’s properties may be located in foreign countries and political instability or changes in the regulations in these countries may adversely affect the Registrant’s ability to carry on its business.

Certain of the Registrant’s properties may be located in countries outside of Canada, and mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes may vary from country to country and are beyond the control of the Registrant and may adversely affect its business. Such changes have, in the past, included nationalization of foreign owned businesses and properties. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income and other taxes and duties, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. These uncertainties may make it more difficult for the Registrant and its joint venture partners to obtain any required production financing for its mineral properties.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect the Registrant’s future profitability.

In addition to CAD dollar currency accounts, the Registrant maintains a portion of its funds in U.S. dollar denominated accounts. Certain of the Registrant’s mineral property interests and related contracts may be denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Registrant may take some steps to reduce its risk to foreign currency fluctuations. However, the Registrant’s operations in countries other than Canada are normally carried out in the currency of that country and make the Registrant subject to foreign currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may materially affect the Registrant’s financial position and results. In addition future contracts may not be denominated in U.S. dollars and may expose the Registrant to foreign currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may materially affect the Registrant’s financial position and results. In addition, the Registrant is or may become subject to foreign exchange restrictions which may severely limit or restrict its ability to repatriate capital or profits from its mineral property interests outside of Canada to Canada. Such restrictions have existed in the past in countries in which the Registrant holds property interests and future impositions of such restrictions could have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant’s future profitability or ability to pay dividends.

Form 20-F

The Registrant is reliant on third parties.

The Registrant’s rights to acquire interests in certain mineral properties may have been granted by third parties who themselves hold only a property option to acquire such properties. As a result, the Registrant may have no direct contractual relationship with the underlying property holder.

Jurisdiction and Enforcement in U.S. and Canadian Courts.

The enforcement of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal and state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Registrant is incorporated under the laws of a foreign country, that certain of its officers and directors are residents of a foreign country, that the independent registered public accounting firm and some or all of the experts named in this report may be residents of a foreign country and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Registrant and said persons may be located outside the U.S. In particular, uncertainty exists as to whether Canadian courts would entertain claims or enforce judgments based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal and state securities laws.

The Registrant’s possible PFIC status may have possible adverse tax consequences for United States Investors.

Potential investors who are United States taxpayers should be aware that Canarc may be classified for United States tax purposes as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for the current fiscal year and may also have been a PFIC in prior years, and may also be a PFIC in subsequent years. This status arises due to the fact that Canarc’s excess exploration funds may be invested in interest bearing securities creating “passive income” which, while modest and ancillary to the exploration business, has been Canarc’s only substantive source of income in the past. If Canarc is a PFIC for any year during a United States taxpayer’s holding period, then such a United States taxpayer, generally, will be required to treat any so-called “excess distribution” received on its common shares, or any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, as ordinary income and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such distribution or gain, unless the taxpayer makes a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election or a mark-to-market election with respect to the shares of Canarc. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the taxpayer. A United States taxpayer who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis its share of Canarc’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which Canarc is a PFIC, whether or not Canarc distributes any amounts to its shareholders. A United States taxpayer who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common shares over the taxpayer’s tax basis therein. Item 10.E provides further details.

While we believe we have adequate internal control over financial reporting, internal controls cannot provide absolute assurance that objectives are met.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have furnished a report by management on our internal controls over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 20-F. Such report contains, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The Registrant’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Registrant have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Risks Related to the Registrant’s Common Shares

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The volatility of the Registrant’s common shares could cause investor loss.

The market price of a publicly traded stock, especially a junior resource issuer like Canarc, is affected by many variables in addition to those directly related to exploration successes or failures. Such factors include the general condition of the market for junior resource stocks, the strength of the economy generally, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments, and the breadth of the public market for the stock. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and NASD-OTC suggests that Canarc’s shares will continue to be volatile. Therefore, investors could suffer significant losses if Canarc’s shares are depressed or illiquid when an investor seeks liquidity and needs to sell Canarc’s shares.

Penny stock classification could affect the marketability of the Registrant's common stock and shareholders could find it difficult to sell their stock.

The Registrant's stock may be subject to "penny stock" rules as defined in the Exchange Act rule 3a51-1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The Registrant’s common shares may be subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than U.S.$5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

Further, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Registrant’s common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

Possible dilution to current shareholders based on outstanding options and warrants.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had 157,436,305 common shares and 10,130,000 outstanding share purchase options and 40,335,498 share purchase warrants outstanding. The resale of outstanding shares from the exercise of dilutive securities could have a depressing effect on the market for the Company’s shares. At December 31, 2014, securities that could be dilutive represented approximately 32.1% of the Company’s issued shares. None of these dilutive securities were exercisable at prices below the December 31, 2014 closing market price of CAD$0.03 for the Company’s shares, which would not accordingly result in dilution to existing shareholders.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

The Registrant is a Canadian mineral exploration company and is subject to National Instrument 43-101, a National Instrument adopted by all of the Securities Commissions in Canada that deals with standards of disclosure for mineral projects. It applies to all oral statements and written disclosure of scientific or technical information, including disclosure of a mineral resource or mineral reserve, made by or on behalf of a company in respect of its material mineral projects. In addition to other matters, it sets out strict guidelines for the classification of and use of the terms ‘mineral resource’ and ‘mineral reserve’ and it requires all technical disclosure on all material properties to be subject to review by a senior engineer or geoscientist in good standing with a relevant professional association. The full text of NI 43-101 can be found at http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/policy.asp?id=2884&scat=4&title=4%20-%20Distribution%20Requirements. While the Registrant believes that its technical disclosure, when made, was accurate, technical disclosure prepared by the Registrant before NI 43-101 came into force in February 2001 has not been updated by the Registrant to be compliant with NI 43-101 other than as specifically disclosed herein.

Developments over the Last Three Financial Years

Over the course of the past three years ended December 31, 2014 and to the date of this Form 20-F, the Registrant had been engaged in exploration and development of precious metal projects in Canada. The major events in the development of the Registrant’s business over the last three years are set out below. Information and details regarding the Registrant’s properties are provided in Item 4.D.

Form 20-F

Strategic Mine Acquisition Partnership with Canford Capital Inc. (“Canford”)

In late September 2012, Canarc granted Canford a 120-day period of exclusivity to complete its due diligence and to execute a property option agreement to earn up to a 51% interest in the New Polaris gold project in return for up to a CAD$30 million investment in exploration and development of the property. Canarc was to be the manager of the project during the property option period. In February 2013, Canarc entered into a Strategic Mine Acquisition Partnership (“SMAP”) with Canford for the purpose of acquiring, expanding and operating gold mines in North America (the “Acquisition Opportunities”). The main parameters of the SMAP agreement were as follows:

(1)

Canarc was to be the manager of the SMAP, and was to identify and evaluate each Acquisition Opportunity including the timing and capital required;

(2)

Once Canarc and Canford agreed to pursue a particular Acquisition Opportunity, Canarc was to complete the due diligence on behalf of the SMAP and Canford was to then arrange 100% of the debt financing required by the SMAP;

(3)

Upon closing each Acquisition Opportunity, Canford was to own a 51% interest and Canarc was to own a 49% interest therein until the debt financing was repaid in full;

(4)

Upon repayment of the debt financing, Canarc would then own a 51% interest and Canford would own a 49% interest therein;

(5)

Canford was to exercise its warrants for 5.65 million common shares of Canarc with an exercise price of CAD$0.15 for total proceeds of CAD$847,500, on the date of closing of the first Acquisition Opportunity; and

(6)

Canarc was to grant Canford a further 60 day period of exclusivity to execute a property option agreement to earn up to a 51% interest in the New Polaris gold mine project in return for up to a CAD$30 million investment in exploration and development, as previously agreed, on the date of closing of the first Acquisition Opportunity.

This Agreement was to be binding upon both Canarc and Canford until it was replaced by a more formal Strategic Joint Venture Partnership Agreement. Canarc and Canford agreed to use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to complete a more formal Strategic Mine Acquisition Partnership Agreement on or before March 1, 2013. In March 2013, no formal SMAP agreement was executed, and Canford did not commit nor arrange financing for the proposed property option and joint venture to develop the New Polaris gold project nor for the SMAP to acquire operating gold mines in North America.

Letter of Intent with Pan American Goldfields Ltd.

In February 2014, Canarc signed a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Pan American Goldfields Ltd. (“Pan American”) with respect to a business combination whereby Canarc may acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Pan American (the “Transaction”). The LOI was however terminated in May 2014 as a result of Canarc’s due diligence.

The main asset of Pan American was its interest in the La Cieneguita mine properties located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Pan American, together with its partner operator, Minera Rio Tinto SA de CV (“MRT”), was in pilot production at its gold-silver mine at La

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Cieneguita whereby Pan American received 35% of net cash flow from production. Subject to due diligence, Canarc and Pan American were of the view that the mine can potentially be modernized and expanded in phases to become a core asset of the combined company.

The structure of the proposed Transaction was subject to review and consultation by the parties; however, the LOI anticipated that Canarc would acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Pan American (the "Shares") and that the shareholders of Pan American would receive 0.82 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a common share of Canarc and 0.25 of a warrant of Canarc (each whole warrant being a “Warrant”) for each Share held. The proposed Exchange Ratio implied a 25% premium to the volume weighted average price of the Shares over the last 20 trading days and accounted for the USD to CAD currency conversion. Each Warrant would be exercisable to purchase one common share of Canarc at an exercise price equal to CAD$0.15 for a period of 3 years.

Pan American had granted Canarc a 130 day period of exclusivity (the “Exclusivity Period”) to complete its due diligence and negotiate a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction. The LOI would terminate on June 30, 2014 unless terminated earlier by either party as a result of its due diligence.

Canarc planned to use commercially reasonable efforts to raise up to $1.8 million in working capital financing pursuant to a private placement, subject to regulatory approval. In the event that the private placement was completed, the parties had agreed to negotiate an interim loan facility (the “Loan”). Under the Loan, Canarc would lend Pan American up to a total of $250,000 prior to closing of the Transaction.

Following the completion of the Transaction, Pan American would have the right to nominate two persons to the board of directors of the combined company. The remainder of the board would be nominees of Canarc.

The Transaction was subject to the parties negotiating and entering into a definitive agreement by June 30, 2014. Entering into a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction was subject to, among other things: (a) each party being satisfied in its sole discretion as to the results of its due diligence review, and (b) approval of the board of directors of each party. The definitive agreement would include customary provisions and deal protections, including receipt of all necessary consents and approvals, including all required stock exchange and shareholder approvals.

In May 2014, as a result of its due diligence, Canarc terminated the LOI with Pan American.

Share Exchange Agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation

On July 15, 2014, Canarc and Santa Fe Gold Corporation (“Santa Fe”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which Santa Fe was to issue 66,000,000 shares of its common stock to Canarc, and Canarc was to issue 33,000,000 of its common shares to Santa Fe (the "Share Exchange"). Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, Santa Fe would own approximately 17% of Canarc 's outstanding shares and Canarc would own approximately 34% of Santa Fe's outstanding common shares. The Share Exchange Agreement did not close and terminated on its own terms on October 15, 2014.

The purpose of the Share Exchange was to facilitate a significant turnaround for Santa Fe and a material new opportunity for Canarc driven by the appointment of Canarc’s nominees to the Santa Fe’s management team and Board of Directors, the re-capitalization of Santa Fe, the re-structuring of Santa Fe’s secured debt and re-development of its Summit gold-silver mine in New Mexico, USA. The Share Exchange Agreement contained representations, warranties, conditions and covenants of the parties customary for transactions of this type.

In connection with the strategic Share Exchange:

Santa Fe's senior secured creditors, Waterton Global Value, L.P. ("Waterton"), Sandstorm Gold Ltd. and Sandstorm Gold (Barbados) Ltd. ("Sandstorm") have entered into respective agreements that demonstrated that they were supportive of the share exchange transaction and that they were amenable to restructuring collectively approximately $20 million of Santa Fe indebtedness.

Santa Fe had entered into a "best-efforts" Placement Agreement with an investment bank, pursuant to which it would place an estimated $22 million of 8% Gold Bonds due in 2018 that were redeemable in cash or gold ETF.

Mr. Bradford Cooke, Chairman and Founder of Canarc had been appointed as Chairman of Santa Fe and Santa Fe's board shall consist of three current Santa Fe directors: Messrs. Jakes Jordan, Michael Heeley and Erich Hofer, and two nominees from Canarc: Messrs. Bradford Cooke and Catalin Chiloflischi.

Canarc’s CEO, Mr. Catalin Chiloflischi, had been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and Director of Santa Fe, and Canarc’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Garry Biles, had been appointed Chief Operating Officer of Santa Fe.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, in July 2014, Canarc advanced a promissory note loan of $200,000 to Santa Fe, which initially bore an interest rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly; both the principal and interest were due and payable on January 15, 2015, and any past due principal and interest shall bear an interest rate of 14%. In September 2014, further funds of $20,000 were advanced to Santa Fe. The promissory note receivable from Santa Fe along with accrued interest was determined to be impaired as collectability was doubtful, and was written off at December 31, 2014. In 2015, demand notices for repayment have been submitted by Canarc to Santa Fe, as Canarc maintains its legal rights relative to the promissory note loan.

On October 15, 2014, the conditions precedent set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement were not satisfied and the agreement terminated on that date, and Canarc’s officers and directors who were appointed to the Santa Fe management and/or board, as specified in the Share Exchange Agreement, resigned from their respective roles as Santa Fe officers and/or directors.

Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra Gold (British Columbia) Limited

On February 24, 2015, Canarc entered into a Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra. PanTerra has a 30-month option to earn a 50% interest in the New Polaris project by spending a total of CAD$10 million in three stages of predevelopment activities including metallurgical test work, drilling, detailed mine planning, tailings dam design, environmental permitting, and completion of a definitive feasibility study. In Stage One, PanTerra shall spend CAD$500,000 for laboratory production of flotation concentrate followed by test work through the Glencore Technology Albion pilot plant, and for comprehensive technical and economic review and commencement of environmental baseline data collection required for permitting. In Stage Two, PanTerra can earn a 20% interest in the New Polaris project by spending CAD$3.5 million in predevelopment expenditures which would include 10,000 m drilling program and engineering and completion of field data required for environmental permitting. In Stage Three, PanTerra can earn an additional 30% interest in the project for a total interest of 50% by spending CAD$6 million in predevelopment expenditures which would primarily focus on the completion of a definitive feasibility study and would include further 10,000 m of infill drilling, additional metallurgical test work, and preliminary engineering. PanTerra can increase its interest in the New Polaris project to 51% by purchasing 1% from Canarc within six months of completion of the definitive feasibility study at a cost of 1% of the net present value established by the definitive feasibility study using a 10% discount rate.

4.B Business Overview

Nature of operations and principal activities

The Registrant’s principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource property interests. The Registrant is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether these mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves in its mineral resource properties, the ability of the Registrant to arrange appropriate financing to complete further work on its mineral property interests, confirmation of the Registrant’s interest in the underlying properties, the receipt of necessary permitting and upon future profitable activities on the Registrant’s mineral property interests or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The Registrant has incurred significant operating losses and currently has no operating revenues. The Registrant has financed its activities principally by the issuance of equity securities. The Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued financial support from its shareholders and other related parties, the ability of the Registrant to raise equity financing, and the attainment of profitable operations to fund its operations.

The Registrant and its management group have in the past been actively involved in the evaluation, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada, U.S.A., and Central and South America. Starting with grass roots exploration prospects, it progressed to more advanced properties. To date, the Registrant has not received any operating revenues from its mineral property interests. The Registrant plans to continue exploring and developing its mineral property interests and, if appropriate, the Registrant intends to seek partners or buyers to purchase or to assist in further advancement (by way of joint venture or otherwise) of its mineral property interests. The Registrant seeks to identify properties with significant potential and to acquire those properties on the basis of property option agreements relying on the representations and warranties of the vendor as to the state of title, with limited or no title work being performed by the Registrant. Detailed title work is only undertaken once it has been determined that the property is likely to host a significant body of ore, which may not occur. Consequently, there is a significant risk that adverse claims may arise or be asserted with respect to certain of the Registrant’s mineral property interests. Items 3.D and 4.A provide further details.

Further information and details regarding the Registrant’s properties are provided in Item 4.D.

Sales and revenue distribution, sources and availability of raw materials, and marketing channels

As of the date of this annual report, the Registrant has not generated any operating revenues from its mineral property interests.

Competitive conditions

Significant competition exists for natural resource acquisition opportunities. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large, well established mining companies with substantial capabilities and significant financial and technical resources, the Registrant may be unable to compete for nor acquire rights to exploit additional attractive mining properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Registrant will be able to acquire any interest in additional projects that would yield reserves or results for commercial mining operations.

Government regulations

The Registrant’s operations are subject to governmental regulations in Canada, where the Registrant had interests in mineral properties.

The current and anticipated future operations of the Registrant, including further exploration and/or production activities may require additional permits from governmental authorities. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters. Unfavourable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mineral exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on the Registrant and could cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations by the Registrant. To the best of its knowledge, the Registrant is operating in compliance with applicable laws.

Trends

The cumulative annual average for gold prices decreased from $1,669 in 2012 to $1,411 in 2013 and then decreased to $1,266 in 2014 and closing at $1,196 on March 25, 2015. Gold prices did not achieve new highs in 2014 and 2013 relative to 2012. In 2012, prices reached an annual high of $1,792 in October 2012, but only achieved annual highs of $1,694 in 2013 and $1,385 in 2014. The high for 2015 was $1,297 on January 22, 2015 which is lower than the annual highs in the prior three years.

During the same period from January 2012 to December 2014, the closing market price for Canarc’s shares decreased from CAD$0.09 to CAD$0.03 – a decrease of 67%, and the high of CAD$0.24 was in February 2013. On April 22, 2015, the closing market share price was CAD$0.03. The lack of financing and a joint venture partner to advance the New Polaris gold project contributed to the ongoing weaknesses in the market price of Canarc’s shares although the liquidity and market price of its shares were heightened during the exclusivity period with Canford from September 2012 to early March 2013. Management continues to foresee opportunities to finance the mineral exploration and development efforts on Canarc’s mineral property interests, and also to evaluate and consider new acquisitions in the gold arena. In February 2015, the Company did enter into a Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra. Items 4.A and 4.D provide further details.

Risk factors in Item 3.D provide further details regarding competition and government regulations.

New Polaris Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada

Discovered by prospectors in 1929, the original mine was constructed in 1936 and operated from 1937 to 1942 and again from 1946 to 1951. A total of 232,000 oz. of gold was produced. Flotation concentrates were shipped seasonally for refining to the smelter in Tacoma, Washington. The first barge load in 1951 sank in a storm off the B.C. coast, causing the mine to shut down. Cominco upgraded the mill in 1952 and used it to process the nearby Tulsequah Chief ores from 1953 to 1957. New Polaris was then dormant for 30 years until exploration resumed in 1988. Canarc acquired New Polaris in 1992 and has partially cleaned up the original mill site and infrastructure, which had been previously abandoned. Canarc constructed a new office complex at the New Polaris mine site and the camp is now capable of supporting 35 people. The machinery from the mill was removed from the site by previous owners in the 1970's. No remaining equipment from the mine operation was salvaged as it was all inoperable. The only original buildings remaining are one large shed (the former machine shop) and 3 small houses. These existing buildings have been refurbished and serve as both sleeping quarters and the kitchen facility. The former machine shop has also been maintained as a maintenance facility. Current fixed equipment include 10,000 and 25,000 gallon Terra Tanks, and mobile equipment on the property include a D6 Cat, backhoe, grader, electric Alimak machine, pumping equipment, welding machines and several generators. The existing underground workings are accessible, although dewatering is required to access those workings below the 50 foot level. Power to the site is currently supplied by diesel generators.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

In 2007, Canarc completed a pre-feasibility program for the New Polaris gold mine project, including dewatering of the underground mine workings, mapping and sampling of the lower mine levels, optimizing metallurgical recoveries, continuing site-related environmental studies, developing a conceptual mine plan and completing a preliminary economic assessment for the project. No additional work is being carried out at this time as Canarc is seeking a strategic partner to advance the project to final feasibility and, if positive, to production, subject to financing.

The New Polaris Gold Project consists of 61 contiguous Crown-granted mineral claims and one modified grid claim covering 2,100 acres. All claims are 100% owned and held by New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canarc Resource Corp., subject to a 15% net profit interest held by Rembrandt Gold Mines Ltd. Canarc can reduce this net profit interest to a 10% net profit. A Table of the claims is set out below.

The following extracted from, or are accurate paraphrasing of, the executive summary, or other sections as indicated from the New Polaris Technical Report, the full copy of which is available online at www.sedar.com as filed on March 16, 2007. Defined terms and abbreviations used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the New Polaris Technical Report.

Summary

New Polaris (formerly Polaris-Taku) is an early Tertiary mesothermal gold mineralized body located in northwestern British Columbia about 100 kilometres south of Atlin, BC and 60 kilometres northeast of Juneau, Alaska. The nearest roads in the area terminate twenty kilometers due south of Atlin and 10 kilometres southeast of Juneau. Access at the present time is by aircraft. A short airstrip for light aircraft exists on the property.

The deposit was mined by underground methods from 1938 to 1942, and from 1946 to early 1951, producing a total of 740,000 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 10.3g/t gold.

The property consists of 61 contiguous Crown-granted mineral claims and one modified grid claim covering 2,100 acres. All claims are 100% owned and held by New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canarc Resource Corp., subject to a 15% net profit interest held by Rembrandt Gold Mines Ltd. Canarc can reduce this net profit interest to a 10% net profit.

The deposit is composed of three sets of veins (quartz-carbonate stringers in altered rock), the “AB” veins are northwest striking and southwest dipping, the “Y” veins are north striking and dipping steeply east and finally the “C” veins are east-west striking and dipping to the south to southeast at 65º to vertical. The “C” veins appear to hook around to the north and south into the other two sets of veins so that their junctions form an arc. The gold is refractory and occurs dominantly in finely disseminated arsenopyrite grains that mineralize the altered wallrock and stockwork veins. The next most abundant mineral is pyrite, followed by minor stibnite and a trace of sphalerite. The zones of mineralization range from 15 to 250 metres in length and 0.3 to 14 metres in width.

Canarc explored the “C” vein system between 1988 and 1997, and carried out infill drilling in 2003 through 2006, to better define the continuity and grade of the vein systems.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The total New Polaris database consists of 1,056 diamond drill holes with a total of 31,514 sample intervals.

The geologic continuity of the C vein has been well established through historic mining and diamond drilling. Grade continuity was quantified using a geostatistical method called the semivariogram, which measures distances (ranges) and directions of maximum continuity. The four principle veins in the semivariogram model produced ranges between 50 and 90 metres, along strike and down plunge.

Sample Method and Approach, Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security, and Data Verification

Sampling of the vein was done by a wire line diamond drills using NQ-size rods. Drill collar locations were surveyed in by total station surveying method. Drilling azimuth and dip were set using a brunton compass and clinometer. Routine down hole measurements of azimuth and dip were not done on the three holes drilled in 2003 and prior. In 2004, three different down hole survey systems were tried before settling on a Reflex system. The Reflex system was also used in 2005. The down hole surveying was operated by the Hytech’s drill crew. This information was entered into a GEMCOM program to plot the location of the collar and the pierce point of the veins.

Core recovery was very good and ranged from the low 90% to nearly 100% and is a fair sampling of the mineralization at the point where the drill hole pierced the vein.

The vein mineralization has well marked contacts with the wall rock. The transition from mineralized to non mineralized rock occurs over a few centimeters. Free gold is extremely rare and to the end of 2005 had not been recognized in core samples. The majority of the gold occurs in arsenopyrite and to a lesser extent in pyrite and stibnite. Because there is no visible gold and the host sulphides are very fine grained and disseminated there is little nugget effect and gold values even over short intervals rarely exceed 1 opt. Out of 4700 samples with greater than 0.03 opt gold collected from core and the underground workings, only 185 samples had a value greater than 1 opt, the highest being 3.69 opt. For this reason, no cutting of assays has been done in calculating composites nor are there many cases where a composite sample is carried by a single assay.

Determining intervals of core for sampling was done by the geologist during logging of the core. The mineralized vein structures were marked out. Selections of core intervals for sampling were based in the presences of veining and sulphide mineralization particularly arsenopyrite. Within the defined vein structure sample interval ranged from 1 foot to 5 feet. Divisions were based on intensity of mineralization and veining. Sampling of the core for 10s of feet either side of the mineralized vein structures was also done to the point where hydrothermal alteration disappeared. No sampling of core from the unaltered rock was done.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The core was logged and stored in the camp. Access to be core was only available to the geologists and the core sampler. The core was brought from the drill set up to the logging facility by the geologist at the end of each shift. The core was geologically logged, recoveries calculated and samples marked out in intervals of 0.5 to 1 metre. The core was handed to the sample cutter who cut it with a diamond saw. Each sample was individually wrapped in plastic bags for shipment. The sample intervals were easily identified and correlate well with the drill logs.

The 2006 Quality Assurance, Quality Control program was similar to the previous programs in that samples were collected by employees of Canarc on site and shipped to ALS Chemex in Vancouver. For quality control and quality assurance, core samples were regularly mixed with blanks, duplicates, and standards. The program in the field was run in an efficient and proper manner following accepted engineering standards.

Mr. Morris, one of the authors, spent two days on the New Polaris property. While on the property, he examined underground workings to confirm the nature of mineralization, dimensions and extent of the vein system. He also viewed a selection of core from key holes drilled from the early 1990’s to the end of 2006 and compared his observations with those documented in the drill logs. In both the case of the underground workings and the core, the author found that his observations confirmed that recorded in logs and sections. He also confirmed that core had been properly cut and stored. In addition to the site visit, a detailed review of the database was completed. Forty-one drill holes were selected from the C vein area, and the drill logs and assay sheets were compared with the database. Only minor differences were observed between the hard copy material and the database. As well, the input of the database into the modeling program was also checked. The procedures used in the development of the database follow accepted engineering standards.

In April 2011, Canarc completed a preliminary economic assessment of the New Polaris property. The report which is dated April 10, 2011 is titled “New Polaris Project - Preliminary Assessment Update”. J.H.Gray, P.Eng., R.J. Morris, M.Sc., P.Geo. and G.H. Giroux, MASc., P. Eng. were the Qualified Persons for that Report. The Qualified Person (“QP”) pursuant to NI 43-101 for the updated preliminary economic assessment report is Jim Gray, P. Eng.

Efforts had commenced on the application for an underground development and exploration program at the New Polaris project in 2011 which was halted in February 2012, due to the lack of financial resources.

In July 2012 Canarc significantly reduced the estimated cost of the proposed work program to complete a feasibility study for commercial development of the New Polaris project from CAD$26 million to approximately CAD$9 million. Canarc previously planned a CAD$26 million work program which included underground mine development in order to complete a feasibility study for the project. Under the revised program, the underground mine development work will be deferred to the post-feasibility mine development program. Instead, Canarc planned to carry out an additional 15,000 meters of infill core drilling in approximately 35 holes in order to provide sufficient measured and indicated resources for feasibility. About CAD$4 million of the CAD$9 million revised cost was related to drilling and the balance was related to permitting and engineering. The proposed work program to complete a feasibility study was subject to securing a partner for the project and/or financing.

In late September 2012, Canarc granted Canford a 120-day period of exclusivity to complete its due diligence and to execute an option agreement to earn up to a 51% interest in the New Polaris gold project in return for up to a CAD$30 million investment in exploration and development of the property. Canarc was to be the manager of the project during the option period. Pursuant to an agreement to form a SMAP dated February 1, 2013, Canarc granted Canford a further 60-day period of exclusivity on the date on which Canarc was to close an acquisition opportunity subject to the execution of a formal SMAP agreement on or before March 1, 2013. However, in March 2013, no formal SMAP agreement was executed, and Canford was not able to commit or arrange financing for the proposed option and joint venture to develop the New Polaris gold project.

On August 24, 2009, Canarc entered into a property option agreement with Ross River Minerals Inc. and Ross River Gold Ltd. (collectively, “Ross River”) to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Tay-LP gold property by paying CAD$1 million in cash and/or shares and spending CAD$1.5 million on exploration over a three-year period, which can occur in two stages. In the first stage, Canarc could have earned a 51% interest by paying CAD$150,000 in cash and spending CAD$900,000 on exploration over a two-year period. In the second stage, Canarc could have earned an additional 49%, thereby totalling 100% interest, by paying CAD$850,000 in cash or shares at Canarc’s discretion and spending CAD$600,000 on exploration by the third year. If Canarc did not proceed with the second stage, then a joint venture would have been formed. Canarc was to pay to the optionors a gold bonus equal to CAD$1 per ounce of gold for all proven and probable gold reserves and measured and indicated gold resources to a maximum of 1 million oz gold. The property option agreement was subject to net smelter returns (“NSR”) totalling 3% which could be reduced to 1.5% by payments totalling $1.95 million. Commencing on or before October 31, 2009 and continuing on or before October 31 of each subsequent year until the property was put into commercial production, Canarc was to pay to the NSR holders an annual advance NSR royalty payments totalling CAD$25,000 or that number of common shares of Canarc and which was to be deducted from NSR obligations. The NSR of 3% was subject to maximum total payments based on one million payable ounces of gold being mined by commercial production but could have been been reduced to 500,000 payable ounces of gold if the NSR was reduced to 1.5%.

On September 3, 2011, Canarc and Ross River amended the property option agreement by increasing the cash payment of CAD$50,000 to CAD$75,000 due by October 31, 2011 (paid), deferring the exploration expenditures of CAD$500,000 from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2012 and exploration expenditures of CAD$600,000 from October 31, 2012 to October 31, 2013, and including a cash payment of CAD$25,000 due by October 31, 2012.

In October 2012, Canarc amended the property option agreement by extending the due date for the cash payment of CAD$25,000 from October 31, 2012 to December 15, 2012 (paid); exploration expenditures of CAD$500,000 for a 51% interest which were due on October 31, 2012 were increased to CAD$700,000 and its due date extended to December 15, 2013; the due date of October 31, 2013 for both the payment of CAD$850,000 in cash or that number in common shares and exploration expenditures of CAD$600,000 for the remaining 49% interest was extended to December 15, 2014. Also the due date for annual advance NSR royalty payments of CAD$25,000 or that number of common shares was extended from October 31, 2012 to December 15, 2012 and for each subsequent year thereafter.

Cash payments of CAD$75,000 were paid in 2011 for property option payments. Canarc issued 215,580 common shares at a value of CAD$0.116 per common share as the annual advance NSR royalty for CAD$25,000 for the Tay-LP property for 2011.

Cash payments of CAD$25,000 in property option obligation and CAD$25,000 in advance NSR royalty were paid in December 2012.

In late March 2010, Canarc entered into a property option agreement with Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (“Cap-Ex”) whereby Cap-Ex can acquire 50% of Canarc’s interest in the Tay-LP gold property, by paying CAD$100,000 of which CAD$25,000 have been paid, issuing 200,000 common shares of which 100,000 common shares have been received, incurring exploration expenditures of CAD$675,000, and maintaining Canarc’s underlying option agreement in good standing until October 2011. Cap-Ex terminated the property option agreement with Canarc in March 2011.

Defined terms and abbreviations used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Tay-LP Technical Report.

Property Description

The Tay-LP project of Ross River Gold Ltd. is a gold exploration project, covering an area of approximately 8150 hectares, located in south-central Yukon near the Village of Ross River. The project comprises 413 mineral claims. The Tay-LP area was first staked, following a prospecting discovery in 1984. The property has since been explored intermittently by various companies for intrusion-related gold deposits. Gold is associated with pyrrhotite-dominant, quartz-sulphide veins and replacement zones hosted by folded Paleozoic meta-sedimentary rocks.

The 2009 exploration program was carried out between September 9th and September 25^th and comprised 1868 metres of diamond drilling. Personnel included: one of the authors, James Moors, P.Geo., who was V.P. Exploration of Canarc Resource Corp. at that time; Robin S. Tolbert, Project Geologist; Lyle Hansen, Assistant Geologist; and core cutters Robert Smallwood and John Dicks of Atlin. Diamond drilling was performed by Hy-Tech Diamond Drilling of Smithers, B.C.

A road accessible tent camp located near the centre of the property was the base of operations.

The cost of field work and analysis on the property in 2009 was $480,000.

Reserves or resources have not been calculated for the property.

Summary

The Tay-LP project of Canarc Resource Corp. is a gold exploration project, covering an area of approximately 7575 hectares, located in south-central Yukon, approximately 50 km south of the Village of Ross River and 160 kilometres northeast of Whitehorse. The project comprises 410 contiguous mineral claims. Option agreements give Canarc the right to earn 100% of the property. The property is accessible by road during the summer months via the South Canol Road and a 20 km long dirt branch road.

The region surrounding the property is underlain by variably metamorphosed, folded and faulted Paleozoic miogeoclinal rocks of the Pelly-Cassiar Platform. They range in age from Late Proterozoic to Triassic and include miogeoclinal clastic, carbonate and volcanic rocks. They are considered North American in origin and were deformed during Mesozoic arc continent collision. These rocks have been intruded by mid-Cretaceous intrusions of intermediate composition.

Gold mineralization on the property is hosted by Cambro-Ordovician calcareous phyllite, marble and schist. Mineralization fits the intrusion-related epigenetic gold mineralization model of the "Tintina Gold Belt", based on gold-bismuth-tellurium chemistry, mineralogy, tectonic setting and age of intrusion. Mineralization occurs in structurally controlled veins and in replacement zones which parallel and in some cases cross-cut the dominant foliation. The exploration objective is to define sufficient structurally controlled or skarn style gold mineralization to support a profitable mine.

The 2009 program consisted of 10 drill holes totaling 1868 metres, drilled in 3 target areas. Results confirmed the presence and continuity of gold bearing structures. The total cost of the field program for 2009 was $480,000.

It is recommended that a first phase of work including an airborne geophysical survey with more advanced systems than those utilized in the 1999 survey should be carried out. This survey will better and more accurately define the geology beneath the glacial overburden that covers the most prospective portions of the property.

Ground Max-Min geophysical surveys should also be carried out to extend the known anomalies and test for mineralization on the peripheries of the known intrusive bodies. This work is estimated to take six weeks to complete at a cost of $252,328.

Following the interpretation of the surveys recommended in Phase 1, a second phase of work consisting of systematic drilling along strike and down dip of current pierce points that returned significant gold content and along the full range of Max-Min and aerially defined geophysical anomalies. This program should consist of at least 2,500 meters of diamond drilling and is estimated to take eight weeks to complete at a cost of $504,000.

Windfall Hills properties, British Columbia, Canada

In April 2011, Canarc entered into two property option agreements to purchase 100% interests in two adjacent gold properties located in British Columbia. In April 2011, Canarc entered into a property option agreement with Atna Resources Ltd. (“Atna”) whereby Canarc can acquire a 100% interest in the Uduk Lake properties by making $750,000 in cash payments over a four year period of which $125,000 has been paid, honouring a pre-existing 1.5% NSR production royalty that can be purchased for CAD$1 million, and granting the vendor a 2% NSR production royalty. In March 2012, Canarc amended the property option agreement in which the option payment of $100,000 due on April 21, 2012 was payable in 12 monthly installments of $8,333 over a twelve month period beginning April 21, 2012. Property option payments of $25,000 were paid in 2013 (2012 - $75,000). In April 2013, Canarc entered into a property purchase agreement with Atna whereby Canarc acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Uduk Lake properties by the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares at a value of CAD$0.10 per share, honouring a pre-existing 1.5% NSR production royalty that can be purchased for CAD$1 million, and granting Atna a 3% NSR production royalty.

In April 2011, Canarc entered into a property option agreement with a vendor whereby Canarc can acquire a 100% interest in the Dunn properties by making CAD$250,000 in cash payments over a four year period, and a final bonus payment based on all gold resources estimated in an independent NI 43-101 technical report. The formula for the bonus payment is $30 per oz for measured resources, $20 per oz for indicated resources, and $10 per oz for inferred resources. In March 2012, Canarc amended the property option agreement in which the option payment of CAD$25,000 due on April 20, 2012 was payable in three monthly installments of CAD$8,333 over a three month period beginning April 21, 2012 which were paid. In April 2013, Canarc entered into a property purchase agreement whereby Canarc acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Dunn properties by the issuance of 500,000 common shares at a value of CAD$0.10 per share and granting the vendor a 2% NSR royalty which can be reduced to 1% NSR royalty for $500,000.

Canarc completed a Phase 1 exploration program on its Windfall Hills project which included detailed soil and rock geochemical sampling over known target areas in 2011. A total of 340 geochemical soil samples were collected on a 100 meter by 25 meter grid over the main 2.8 sq. km. prospect area. Two anomalies were delineated on the basis of multi-element geochemistry.

In June 2014, Canarc received government permit for the drilling program which was mobilized in July 2014 and was financed by a flow-through financing of CAD$400,000 which closed in July 2014. Funds of CAD$382,900 were expended for flow through purposes as at December 31, 2014. Canarc completed 3 holes and 1,149 metres of drilling that intersected an alteration zone anomalous in gold-silver. The Company is evaluating the possibility of additional geochemical and geophysical surveys in 2015 in order to better target the mineralized zone, subject to financing.

Devil’s Thumb property, British Columbia, Canada

In May 2011, Canarc staked three gold properties, known as Devil’s Thumb, totalling 17,175 hectares, which was located northeast of its Windfall Hills properties in central British Columbia. Canarc wrote-off the property in the third quarter of 2012.

Eskay Creek property, British Columbia, Canada

Canarc has a one-third carried interest in the Eskay Creek property which is located in the Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada. In fiscal 2005, Canarc elected to write-off the associated property costs, but continues to have a one-third carried interest in the Eskay Creek property.

Fiscal Year 2014 – Year ended December 31, 2014 compared with December 31, 2013

Canarc incurred a net loss of $1.83 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 which is higher than the net loss of $1.38 million for fiscal 2013, with commensurately higher operating expenses in the current year. Net losses were impacted by different functional expense items.

Canarc has no sources of operating revenues. Operating losses continue to be incurred for ongoing activities of Canarc in seeking an appropriate joint venture partner to advance the New Polaris property and in pursuing mining projects of merit.

Corporate development expenses were lower in the first quarter of 2014 than the same quarter in 2013, but were higher in the remaining quarters of 2014. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Canarc conducted due diligence work on the main asset of Pan American which was its interest in the La Cieneguita mine properties located in Chihuahua State, Mexico. This resulted in the signing of a letter of intent in February 2014 which anticipated that Canarc would acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Pan American, but was terminated in May 2014 due to results from Canarc’s due diligence. In the second quarter, Canarc focused its efforts on Santa Fe and its gold-silver mine and mill and the organic growth potential in the district which culminated in the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement in July 2014 whereby Canarc would issue 33 million common shares to Santa Fe and Santa Fe would issue 66 million common shares to Canarc; effectively Canarc would have a 34% interest in Santa Fe and Santa Fe would have a 17% interest in Canarc. In October 2014, the conditions precedent set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement was not satisfied and the agreement terminated on its own terms. Corporate development activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 focused on evaluating an alternative metallurgical process which resulted in the Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra in February 2015 to advance Canarc’s New Polaris project. Major expenses incurred for corporate development include: legal fees for drafting and finalizing agreements, corporate and securities due diligence and property title opinions; geological and metallurgical assessments; salary allocations; and travel expenses for Mexico and the USA. In early 2013, Canarc was involved in a strategic mine acquisition partnership which intensified Canarc’s efforts to identify acquisition opportunities which were to be debt financed but such arrangement ceased in March 2013. Corporate development expenses were negligible for the remaining quarters of 2013.

Remuneration for employees was higher in the current period relative to the prior period in 2013. The employment of a full time senior officer along with severance settlements for two other senior officers contributed to higher employee remuneration. Such employment contributed to Canarc’s ability to close three private placements totalling CAD$3.26 million, letter of intent with Pan American which was subsequently terminated, share exchange agreement with Santa Fe which was subsequently terminated, and the pre-development and earn-in agreement in February 2015. Salary allocations during the term of the share exchange agreement prior to its termination resulted in lower salaries incurred for general administration in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 in comparison to prior comparative quarters of 2014 and 2013; these expenses have been accordingly allocated to corporate development efforts.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

General and administrative expenses were higher in 2014 than in 2013. The principle factor was legal services rendered to Canarc in relation to TSX delisting review, advisory services rendered to the Board on compensation matters, appointment of a new senior officer, severance settlements with two other senior officers, and corporate finance issues relating to its working capital. In 2013, legal services were mainly for the strategic mine acquisition partnership which was terminated in March 2013. Office and sundry and rent reflect the ongoing expenditures for ancillary office support facilities in which the former was higher in the current period due to increased level of corporate activity related to project due diligence, equity financings and exploration program for the Windfall Hills project. Regulatory fees were higher for the current fiscal year from the proposed shares-for-debt settlement for directors’ fees payable which required shareholder approval at Canarc’s annual general meeting held in June 2014 which resolution did not pass. In 2013, Canarc had reduced discretionary expenses due to limited cash resources.

Shareholder relations activities were heightened in 2014 than in 2013 for shareholder communications and marketing services principally in Europe to attract a greater breadth of investor base, to promote new interest in Canarc’s mineral properties, and to create greater awareness of its letter of intent with Pan American for the La Cieneguita mine project at that time. Such activities provided the catalyst for Canarc to close equity financings of CAD$3.26 million with a geographically diverse group of overseas shareholders. Shareholder activities continued from commitments from prior quarters with no new shareholder activities being implemented in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2014 as the primary focus was the Share Exchange Agreement with Santa Fe and arranging financing for Santa Fe, which agreement was terminated in October 2014.

Share-based payments were higher in the current period than in the prior comparable period. Canarc granted 500,000 stock options in January 2014 which are subject to vesting provisions in which 20% of the options vest immediately on the grant date and 20% vest every six months thereafter. Then in July 2014, Canarc granted 4,050,000 stock options to directors, officers and employees with an exercise price of CAD$0.10 and an expiry date of July 17, 2019, and which are subject to vesting provisions in which 20% of the options vest immediately on the grant date and 20% vest every six months thereafter; this resulted in the increase in share based payments expenses in the third quarter of 2014. Two million stock options with vesting provisions were granted in the second quarter of 2013. The forfeiture of stock options in January 2014 and April 2014 due to the retirement of two senior officers reduced share-based payments. Also the 1,460,000 stock options which were granted in June 2012 with an exercise price of CAD$0.145 and an expiry date of June 18, 2017 will only vest when Canarc consummates a major transaction or at the discretion of its Board of Directors, and such stock options have not vested as at December 31, 2014. No probable likelihood of a material transaction was attributed to these June 2012 stock option grants, and therefore no share-based payments have been recognized.

Interest income is realized from Canarc’s premium investment savings account which is cashable at any time and for the accrued interest for the $40,000 loan owed by Pan American and the $200,000 promissory note and a further loan of $20,000 owed by Santa Fe in which such demand loans were written off due to impairment issues as collectability was doubtful. In 2015, demand notices for repayment have been submitted by Canarc to Santa Fe, as Canarc maintains its legal rights relative to the promissory note loan.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Interest expense was higher in 2013 from the demand loans and for the estimated flow through indemnity obligation from ineligible Canadian exploration expenditures for flow-through purposes; the latter was derecognized at the end of fiscal 2013 as Canarc determined that it was improbable that any further cash outlays would be required. Demand loans were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually. In January 2014, Canarc repaid all principal and interest in full settlement of outstanding demand loans.

Fiscal Year 2013 – Year ended December 31, 2013 compared with December 31, 2012

Canarc incurred a net loss of $1.38 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 which is slightly higher than the net loss of $1.21 million for fiscal 2012, whereas operating losses were lower in the current year. Net losses were impacted by different functional expense items.

Canarc has no sources of operating revenues. Operating losses continue to be incurred for ongoing activities of Canarc in seeking an appropriate joint venture partner for the New Polaris property and in pursuing new projects of merit.

Corporate development expenses were higher in the first quarter of 2013 than the same quarter in 2012. The equity financings in the latter half of fiscal 2012 and in January 2013 allowed some discretionary funds for Canarc to actively assess projects of merit. The impetus was also pre-empted by the SMAP arrangement between Canarc and Canford as Canarc intensified its efforts to identify acquisition opportunities which were to be debt financed by Canford and which arrangement ceased in March 2013. Corporate development expenses were negligible in the remaining quarters of 2013.

Remuneration for employees was lower in each quarterly period in 2013 relative to the comparable periods in 2012 due to reduction in staff personnel and the retirement of one director in the first half of 2013, as Canarc continued to evaluate gold projects for acquisition purposes and to seek possible partners for the New Polaris project. Similar effects occurred on a quarterly comparative basis for 2013. Exploration activities were nominal for Canarc’s mineral exploration properties which were subject to financing, resulting in lower employee allocations to its various mineral property interests.

General and administrative expenses were lower in 2013 than in 2012 which were attributed to the reduced level of corporate activity for most of 2013 and for professional fees for audit. On a quarter by quarter basis for 2013, legal fees were higher in the second quarter due to higher legal fees in formalizing the engagement with Canford and the adoption of the advance notice policy for the nomination of directors. Office and sundry and rent reflect the ongoing minimalistic expenditures for ancillary office support facilities. Regulatory fees generally are higher earlier in the fiscal year due to sustaining and annual filing fees and annual general meeting. Canarc has reduced discretionary expenses due to limited cash resources.

Shareholder relations activities were higher in the early part of 2012 so as to promote greater awareness of the profile of Canarc and its portfolio of projects, especially the New Polaris project with its revised preliminary economic assessment which indicated conceptually the project’s stronger financial viability due to heightened gold prices, and its other mineral property interests in Tay-LP and Windfall Hills. The focus of the shareholder relations program in 2012 was to expand the market awareness of Canarc and its base of shareholders, so as to allow Canarc to advance its New Polaris project through a joint venture or strategic partnership. These efforts continued to attract expressions of interests in Canarc’s New Polaris project, and would supplement the financial advisory services from Primary Capital in evaluating strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value for Canarc in 2012. Also such activities provided the catalyst for the brokered private placement for CAD$1.13 million with Canaccord as agent and with Canford as the single subscriber which became an Insider of Canarc by virtue of holding more than 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Canarc at the closing date of the financing in September 2012, and a 120-day period of exclusivity for Canford to complete its due diligence and to execute a property option agreement for Canford to earn up to a 51% interest in the New Polaris gold project in return for up to a CAD$30 million investment in exploration and development of the property. This relationship between Canarc and Canford transitioned into a SMAP in February 2013 in which such relationship ended in March 2013. Shareholder relations activities subsided during 2013, given the ongoing market weaknesses and trend of gold prices at that time.

Share-based payments were significantly lower in 2013 than in 2012. Fewer stock options vested or were subject to vesting provisions in the current year than in the prior year. Also the 1,460,000 stock options which were granted in June 2012 with an exercise price of CAD$0.145 and an expiry date of June 18, 2017 will only vest when Canarc consummates a major transaction or at the discretion of its Board of Directors, and such stock options have not vested as at December 31, 2013. No probable likelihood of a material transaction was attributed to these June 2012 stock option grants, and therefore no share-based payments were recognized. The retirement of a director in June 2012 and June 2013 resulted in the forfeiture of unvested stock options which reduced share-based payments expense.

In 2013, Canarc recognized a gain of $99,000 from writing off certain payables related to an exploration project which was written off in 2008.

Also in 2013, Canarc recognized a gain from writing off the provision for $213,000 related to flow-through tax obligations. Canarc determined that it was improbable that the obligation would result in cash outlays.

The higher operating losses in 2012 were offset by the realized gain of $77,000 from the disposition of available-for-sale securities. The disposition of Cap-Ex shares provided proceeds of CAD$92,400 for working capital in the first quarter of 2012.

Interest expense was higher in 2012 from the compounding effects of interest accruals for existing and greater demand loans in 2012 and for the estimated flow through indemnity obligation from ineligible Canadian exploration expenditures for flow-through purposes. In fiscal 2012, Canarc arranged demand loans of $358,000 from certain directors and an officer of Canarc, which were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually. Demand loans which were outstanding in 2012 were settled in full in the fourth quarter of 2012. In fiscal 2013, Canarc received demand loans of $126,000 from certain directors of Canarc, which were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually. Interest expense in 2013 was accrued for the demand loans and for the estimated flow through indemnity obligation. In January 2014, Canarc repaid all principal and interest in full settlement of outstanding demand loans.

The appreciation of the US$ relative to the CAD$ had nominal impact on Canarc’s net loss for 2013.

In fiscal 2013, Canarc wrote-down its investment in Aztec Metals Corp. (“Aztec”), a company with two common directors, to a nominal value of CAD$100 due to the lack of liquidity of the shares of Aztec. There has been no quoted market value for the Aztec shares and such investment has in the past been recorded at cost. Canarc also wrote-off its receivable of $52,000 from Aztec due to Aztec’s inability to raise adequate financing to repay its debts owed to Canarc.

In 2013, Canarc wrote-off the Tay LP property amounting to $636,000, which contributed significantly to the higher net loss in comparison to 2012. Canarc wrote-off the Devil’s Thumb property in 2012.

As at December 31, 2013, Canarc has mineral property interests which are comprised of the following:

Environmental Liabilities

The Registrant’s policy is to maintain all operations at North American standards, notwithstanding that certain of the countries within which it may operate may not yet have fully developed such standards in respect to environmental concerns. In accordance with government requirements in Canada, refundable deposits of CAD$250,000 have been placed with regulatory agencies in respect to the Registrant’s New Polaris gold property in British Columbia. There are no known environmental contingencies in respect to these or any of the other Registrant’s mineral property interests.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Critical Accounting Policies

For the Registrant’s exploration activities, there is no product, sales or inventory in the conventional sense. The recoverability of costs capitalized to mineral property interests and the Registrant’s future financial success are dependent upon the extent to which it can discover mineralization and the economic viability of advancing such mineral property interests beyond the exploration stage. Such activities may take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. Many of the key factors are outside of the Registrant’s control. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by the Registrant is largely dependent upon factors beyond the Registrant’s control such as the market value of the metals.

As the carrying value and amortization of mineral property interests and capital assets are, in part, related to the Registrant’s mineral reserves, the estimation of such reserves is significant to the Registrant’s position and results of operations. As of the date of this annual report, the Registrant has not established any reserves on its mineral property interests.

In accordance with an acceptable accounting policy under IFRS, all costs related to investments in mineral property interests are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. The costs related to a mineral property interest from which there is production, together with the costs of mining equipment, will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. When there is little prospect of further work on a mineral property interest being carried out by the Registrant or its partners or when a property interest is abandoned or when the capitalized costs are not considered to be economically recoverable, the related mineral property costs are written down to the amount recoverable. The amounts for mineral property interests as shown in the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements represent costs incurred to date, less write-downs and any recoveries, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.

The Registrant accounts for share-based payments using a fair value-based method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non-employees. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The offset to the recorded cost is to the reserve for share-based payments. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related reserve for share-based payments is transferred to share capital. Upon expiry, the recorded fair value is transferred from reserve for share-based payments to deficit.

5.B Liquidity and Capital Resources

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant is in the exploration stage and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is entirely dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Registrant to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development and upon future profitable production. The Registrant knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in the Registrant’s liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at the present time or in the foreseeable future. Material increases or decreases in the Registrant’s liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of the Registrant’s exploration programs and overall market conditions for smaller mineral exploration companies. Since its incorporation in 1987, the Registrant has endeavoured to secure mineral property interests that in due course could be brought into production to provide the Registrant with cash flow which would be used to undertake work programs on other projects. To that end, the Registrant has expended its funds on mineral property interests that it believes have the potential to achieve cash flow within a reasonable time frame. As a result, the Registrant has incurred losses during each of its fiscal years since incorporation. This result is typical of smaller exploration companies and will continue unless positive cash flow is achieved.

The following table contains selected financial information of Canarc’s liquidity:

	December 31,
($000s)	2014	2013

Cash	$ 675	$ 50
Working capital (deficiency)	(156)	(921)

Canarc has no sources of operating revenues, and ongoing operating expenses continue to reduce its cash resources and working capital. Operating losses continued to be incurred for ongoing activities of Canarc in seeking an appropriate joint venture partner for the New Polaris property and in pursuing new projects of merit.

In 2013, stock options for 769,000 common shares were exercised for proceeds of CAD$77,800. Also stock options for 700,000 common shares were cancelled for the exercise of share appreciation rights for 207,024 common shares.

In fiscal 2013, Canarc received demand loans of $126,000 from two directors, which were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually. In January 2014, the Company repaid all principal and interest in full settlement of outstanding demand loans.

The working capital deficiency of $921,000 at December 31, 2013 includes demand loans of $131,000 which were fully settled in January 2014.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

On January 31, 2014, Canarc closed a private placement for 18 million units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$900,000. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one-half of a whole common share purchase warrant; each whole warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of CAD$0.10 per share until January 31, 2016. Finder’s fees of CAD$22,500 were paid for the private placement.

In March and April 2014, Canarc closed a private placement in two tranches totalling 19.6 million units at a price of CAD$0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$1.96 million with each unit comprised of one common share and one-half of a whole common share purchase warrant; each whole warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of CAD$0.15 per share for a three year period. On March 18, 2014, Canarc closed the first tranche for 10.6 million units for CAD$1.06 million, and paid CAD$66,170 in cash and issued 661,718 in warrants as finders’ fees. On April 3, 2014, Canarc closed the second tranche for 9 million units for CAD$900,000, and paid CAD$6,070 in cash and issued 60,725 in warrants as finders’ fees. The finders’ fee warrants have the same terms as the underlying warrants in the unit private placement.

On July 9, 2014, Canarc closed a private placement for 5 million units at CAD$0.08 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$400,000. Each unit was comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half of a whole common share purchase warrant; each whole warrant is exercisable to acquire one non-flow through common share at an exercise price of CAD$0.15 per share until July 9, 2016. Funds of CAD$382,900 were expended for flow-through purposes as at December 31, 2014.

In October 2014, Canarc received 358,000 shares from Aztec Metals Corp., a company sharing certain common directors, (“Aztec”) in settlement of debt owed to Canarc which Canarc had written off in 2013.

At December 31, 2014, to maintain its interest and/or to fully exercise the options under various property agreements covering its property interests, Canarc must incur exploration expenditures on the properties and/or make payments in the form of cash and/or shares to the optionors as follows:


		Number of
		Shares

	New Polaris:
	Net profit interest reduction or buydown	150,000

		150,000

These amounts may be reduced in the future as Canarc determines which properties to continue to explore and which to abandon.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Canarc has entered into a number of option agreements for mineral property interests that involve payments in the form of cash and/or shares of Canarc as well as minimum exploration expenditure requirements. Under Item 5.F, further details of contractual obligations are provided as at December 31, 2014.

On February 24, 2015, Canarc entered into a Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra. PanTerra has a 30-month option to earn a 50% interest in Canarc’s New Polaris project by spending a total of CAD$10 million in three stages of predevelopment activities including metallurgical test work, drilling, detailed mine planning, tailings dam design, environmental permitting, and completion of a definitive feasibility study. Items 4.A and 4.D provide further details.

Canarc’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of Canarc to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management would need to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives.

Canarc will continue to rely upon equity financing as its principal source of financing its projects and its ongoing working capital needs.

5.C Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

The Registrant does not currently carry out research and development activities.

Items 4.A, 4.D, 5.A and 5.F provide details of the Registrant’s mineral property interests, exploration activities, acquisitions and write-downs.

5.D Trend Information

The Registrant knows of no trends, demand, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Registrant’s net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources or that would cause financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition, other than disclosed or inferred in this Form 20-F.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant currently has no active business operations that would be affected by recent trends in productions, sales, etc. The Registrant has no material net sales or revenues that would be affected by recent trends other than the general effect of mineral prices on its ability to raise capital and those other general economic items as set out in Item 3.D.

5.E Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no known significant or material off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed in this Form 20-F and in the Registrant’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On May 31, 2005, the shareholders of the Registrant approved a shareholder rights plan (the “Plan”), that became effective on April 30, 2005. The Plan is intended to ensure that any entity seeking to acquire control of the Registrant makes an offer that represents fair value to all shareholders and provides the board of directors with sufficient time to assess and evaluate the offer, to permit competing bids to emerge, and, as appropriate, to explore and develop alternatives to maximize value for shareholders. Under the Plan, each shareholder at the time of the Plan’s adoption was issued one Right for each common share of the Registrant held. Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof, except for certain “Acquiring Persons” (as defined in the Plan), to purchase from treasury one common share at a 50% discount to the prevailing market price, subject to certain adjustments intended to prevent dilution. The Rights are exercisable after the occurrence of specified events set out in the Plan generally related to when a person, together with affiliated or associated persons, acquires, or makes a take-over bid to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Registrant. The Rights expire on April 30, 2015. Item 10.B provides further details.

Share Appreciation Rights

At the discretion of the Board, certain stock option grants provide the stock option holder the right to receive the number of common shares, valued at the quoted market price at the time of exercise of the stock options, that represent the share appreciation since granting the stock options.

5.F Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

As the Registrant performs exploration on its mineral property interests, it decides which ones to proceed with and which ones to abandon. Accordingly, the minimum expenditure commitments are reduced as the Registrant narrows its interests. To fully exercise the options under various agreements for the acquisition of interests in properties located in Canada, the Registrant must incur exploration expenditures on the properties and make payments to the optionors as follows as at December 31, 2014:


	Payments due by Period					Payments due by Period

These amounts may be reduced in the future as the Registrant determines which properties continue to be of merit and abandons those with which it does not intend to proceed.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Canarc had agreed to pay $100,000 (the “Funds”) to Pan American, following TSX approval; funds of $40,000 were advanced in April 2014 which bore an interest rate of 1% per month and was written off in September 2014 as collectability was doubtful. Pan American had agreed to repay the Funds to Canarc in the event that (a) Canarc terminated the LOI or determined not to proceed with the Transaction as a result of its due diligence; or (b) Pan American terminated the LOI or determined not to proceed with the Transaction for any reason. Canarc and Pan American were to negotiate an interim loan facility whereby Canarc would lend Pan American up to a total of $250,000 prior to closing of the Transaction. In May 2014, as a result of its due diligence, Canarc terminated the LOI with Pan American. Item 4.A provides further details.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement with Santa Fe in July 2014, Canarc advanced a promissory note loan of $200,000 to Santa Fe, which initially bore an interest rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly; both the principal and interest were due and payable on January 15, 2015, and any past due principal and interest shall bear an interest rate of 14%. In September 2014, further funds of $20,000 were advanced to Santa Fe. The promissory note receivable from Santa Fe along with accrued interest was determined to be impaired as collectability was doubtful, and was written off at December 31, 2014. In 2015, demand notices for repayment have been submitted by Canarc to Santa Fe, as Canarc maintains its legal rights relative to the promissory note loan. Item 4.A provides further details.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Registrant’s executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee on behalf the board of directors (the “Board”).

Compensation of Directors

Bradford J. Cooke, the former Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Canarc, received compensation as consideration for his duties as an operating officer of Canarc as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table above; Mr. Cooke resigned as Chief Executive Officer on January 13, 2014 but remains Chairman and a Director.

At a Compensation Committee meeting held on March 22, 2013, it was resolved that each director shall earn a remuneration of CAD$2,000 per quarter as compensation in his capacity as a director and such remuneration shall continue to be accrued.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

At a Compensation Committee meeting held on June 26, 2014, it was resolved that fees for members of the Audit, Compensation and Nomination Committees will be CAD$1,000 per quarter per Committee Chairman and CAD$500 per quarter per Committee Member, and are to be paid each quarter. It was further resolved that no directors fees shall be payable to directors in their capacity as Directors. These resolutions were effective July 1, 2014.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Canarc granted stock options to directors for up to 1.7 million common shares. These stock options have an exercise price of CAD$0.10 and an expiry date of July 17, 2019, and are subject to vesting provisions in which 20% of the stock options vest on grant date and 20% vest every six months thereafter.

Executive Compensation Program

The Registrant’s executive compensation program is based on a pay for performance philosophy. The executive compensation program is designed to encourage, compensate and reward employees on the basis of individual and corporate performance, both in the short and the long term. Base salaries are set at levels which are competitive with the base salaries paid by companies within the mining industry having comparable capitalization to that of the Registrant, thereby enabling the Registrant to compete for and retain executives critical to the Registrant’s long term success. Incentive compensation is directly tied to corporate and individual performance. Share ownership opportunities are provided to align the interests of executive officers with the longer term interests of shareholders.

Compensation for directors and officers, as well as for executive officers as a whole, consists of a base salary, along with annual incentive compensation in the form of an annual bonus, and a longer term incentive in the form of stock options. As an executive officer’s level of responsibility increases, a greater percentage of total compensation is based on performance (as opposed to base salary and standard employee benefits) and the mix of total compensation shifts towards stock options, thereby increasing the mutuality of interest between executive officers and shareholders.

No funds were set aside or accrued by the Registrant or its subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2014 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or officers of the Registrant pursuant to any existing plan provided or contributed to by the Registrant or its subsidiaries under applicable Canadian laws.

Base Salary

The Board approves ranges for base salaries for executive employees of the Registrant based on reviews of market data from peer groups and industry in general. The level of base salary for each employee within a specified range is determined by the level of past performance, as well as by the level of responsibility and the importance of the position to the Registrant.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer prepares recommendations for the Compensation Committee which are then presented to the Board with respect to the base salary to be paid to the CEO and other senior executive officers. The CEO’s recommendations for base salaries for the senior executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer, are then submitted for approval by the Board from the Compensation Committee.

Bonus

The Board annually evaluates performance and allocates an amount for payment of bonuses to executive officers and senior management. The aggregate amount for bonuses to be paid will vary with the degree to which targeted corporate performance was achieved for the year. The individual performance factor allows the Registrant effectively to recognize and reward those individuals whose efforts have assisted the Registrant to attain its corporate performance objective.

The CEO prepares recommendations for the Board with respect to the bonuses to be paid to the executive officers and to senior management.

No bonuses were distributed nor paid to executive officers and senior management of Canarc in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 fiscal years.

Stock Options

A Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board. The Stock Option Plan is designed to give each option holder an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term, to enable the Registrant to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability, and to reward individuals for current performance and expected future performance. The Board considers stock option grants when reviewing executive officer compensation packages as a whole.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Canarc granted stock options to senior officers, excluding senior officers who are directors and including those who were senior officers at the time of grant, for up to 2.75 million common shares. Stock options for 500,000 common shares have an exercise price of CAD$0.05 and an expiry date of January 14, 2019; stock options for 2.25 million common shares have an expiry date of July 17, 2019. These stock options are subject to vesting provisions in which 20% of the stock options vest on grant date and 20% vest every six months thereafter.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Other Compensation

Bradford J. Cooke, formerly CEO and who remains Chairman and Director of Canarc, is a party to an employment arrangement with Endeavour Silver Corp., a company in which Mr. Cooke is a Director, (“Endeavour”) whereby Endeavour is reimbursed by Canarc for time spent by Mr. Cooke on a cost recovery basis. During the financial year ended December 31, 2014, Canarc incurred CAD$Nil (2013 - CAD$18,511 and 2012 - CAD$35,290) in salary paid or payable to Endeavour for services rendered by Mr. Cooke to Canarc. Mr. Bradford Cooke resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Canarc effective January 13, 2014 but remains its Chairman and Director.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

In fiscal 2014, Canarc acquired an insurance policy for itself and its directors and officers against liability incurred by them in the performance of their duties as directors and officers of Canarc. In January 2014, Canarc renewed its policy which had a CAD$1 million limit of liability, retentions of up to CAD$50,000, and a policy period from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015 for a premium of CAD$14,000. In October 2014, Canarc increased its coverage to CAD$5 million limit of liability and extended the term to October 17, 2015 for a net premium of $25,048.

6.C Board Practices

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

The Registrant is required to report annually to its shareholders on its corporate governance practices and policies with reference to National Policy 58-201, Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Policy”) and National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, as adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators, and effective June 30, 2005.

The Board of Directors

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Board currently consists of four directors, of which three directors (Martin Burian, Bruce Bried and Leonard Harris) are currently “independent” in the context of the Policy. Bradford J. Cooke is not an independent director because he was the Chief Executive Officer of Canarc until his resignation on January 13, 2014 but remains its Chairman and Director.

Certain directors of the Registrant are presently directors of other issuers that are reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in any jurisdiction including foreign jurisdictions, as follows:

Director	Other Reporting Issuers
Bradford Cooke	Endeavour Silver Corp.
	Radius Gold Inc.

Martin Burian	Tinkerine Studios Ltd.
	Atlas Cloud Enterprises Inc.
	Cap-Ex Iron Ore Ltd.
	Alberta Star Development Corp.

Leonard Harris	Cardero Resource Corp.
	Wealth Minerals Ltd.
	Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp.

Bruce Bried	International Montoro Resources Inc.

The independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. However, during the course of a directors’ meeting, if a matter is more effectively dealt with

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

without the presence of members of management, the independent directors ask members of management to leave the meeting, and the independent directors then meet.

Bradford J. Cooke is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Canarc. Martin Burian, as an independent director, was appointed the Lead Director of the Board, with the mandate to ensure that the Board’s Agenda will enable it to successfully carry out its duties and to do so without interference from the Chairman of the Board that could result from potential conflicts from his status as a non-independent Board member given that Mr. Cooke as Chairman was the Chief Executive Officer until his resignation on January 13, 2014.

Since January 1, 2007, the Registrant has held board meetings at least quarterly and at which the majority, if not all, Board members have attended, either in person or by telephone conference call, during the time in which they were directors of the Registrant.

Board Mandate

The Board of Directors is responsible for supervising management in carrying on the business and affairs of the Registrant. Directors are required to act and exercise their powers with reasonable prudence in the best interests of the Registrant. The Board agrees with and confirms its responsibility for overseeing management's performance in the following particular areas:

the strategic planning process of the Registrant;
identification and management of the principal risks associated with the business of the Registrant;
planning for succession of management;
the Registrant's policies regarding communications with its shareholders and others; and
the integrity of the internal controls and management information systems of the Registrant.

In carrying out its mandate, the Board relies primarily on management to provide it with regular detailed reports on the operations of the Registrant and its financial position. The Board reviews and assesses these reports and other information provided to it at meetings of the Board and/or of its committees. The CEO reports directly to the Board, giving the Board direct access to information in his areas of responsibility. Other management personnel regularly attend Board meetings to provide information and answer questions. Directors also consult from time to time with management and have, on occasion, visited the properties of the Registrant. The reports and information provided to the Board include details concerning the monitoring and management of the risks associated with the Registrant's activities, such as compliance with safety standards and legal requirements, environmental issues and the financial position and liquidity of the Registrant. At least annually, the Board reviews management's report on its business and strategic plan and any changes with respect to risk management and succession planning.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Position Descriptions

The Board of Directors has not yet developed written position descriptions for the Chairman, the chairman of any Board committees, the CEO, the President or the CFO. The Board is of the view that given the size of the Registrant, the relatively frequent discussions between Board members, the CEO, the President and the CFO and the experience of the individual members of the Board, the responsibilities of such individuals are known and understood without position descriptions being reduced to writing. The Board will evaluate this position from time to time, and if written position descriptions appear to be justified, they will be prepared.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board does not have a formal policy relating to the orientation of new directors and continuing education for directors. The appointment of a new director is a relatively infrequent event in the Registrant’s affairs, and each situation is addressed on its merits on a case-by-case basis. The Registrant has a relatively restricted scope of operations, and most candidates for Board positions will likely have past experience in the mining business; they will likely be familiar therefore with the operations of a resource company of the size and complexity of the Registrant. The Board, with the assistance of counsel, keeps itself apprised of changes in the duties and responsibilities of directors and deals with material changes of those duties and responsibilities as and when the circumstances warrant. The Board will evaluate these positions, and if changes appear to be justified, formal policies will be developed and followed.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Registrant has adopted a whistle blower policy, which is set out in its Charter of the Audit Committee which is available for viewing on SEDAR as a schedule to the Registrant’s Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2015.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has neither a formal policy for identifying new candidates for Board nomination. If and when the Board determines that its size should be increased or if a director needs to be replaced, the nomination committee meeting shall be convened. The terms of reference of such a committee will be determined, but are expected to include the determination of the independence of the candidate, his or her experience in the mining business and compatibility with the other directors.

Compensation

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Taking into account the Registrant’s present status as an exploration-stage enterprise, the Board of Directors reviews the adequacy and form of compensation provided to Directors on a periodic basis to ensure that the compensation is commensurate with the responsibilities and risks undertaken by an effective director.

At a Compensation Committee meeting held on March 22, 2013 which was ratified by a Board of Directors meeting on that same day , it was resolved that each director shall earn a remuneration of CAD$2,000 per quarter as compensation in his capacity as a director for fiscal 2013 and such remuneration shall continue to be accrued.

Other Board Committees

Aside from the Audit Committee which has previously been established, the Board has established committees for Compensation and Nomination and Technical, Environmental, Social and Safety in 2011 comprised of the following Board members and their respective mandates:

Committee	Members	Mandate
Nomination	Leonard Harris (Chairman)	The function of the Nominating Committee is to identify individuals qualified to become board members and to select, or to recommend that the Board of Directors select the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders,to oversee the selection and composition of committees of the Board of Directors, and to oversee management continuity planning processes.
	Bruce Bried
Compensation	Bruce Bried (Chairman)	The Compensation Committee shall advise and make recommendations to the Board of Directors in its oversight role with respect to the Company’s strategy, policies and programs on the compensation and development of senior management and directors.
	Martin Burian
Technical, Environmental, Social, Safety	Bruce Bried	The Technical, Environmental, Social and Safety Committee shall advise and make recommendations in its oversight role with respect to technical, environmental, social and safety issues affecting the Company and its advanced mineral exploration projects.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Board has also a Disclosure Committee comprised of the following management persons and its mandate:

Members

Mandate

Chief Executive Officer or President, and

A Disclosure Policy Committee oversees corporate disclosure practices and ensures implementation and adherence to this policy. The Disclosure Policy Committee's responsibilities include:

· maintaining an awareness and understanding of governing disclosure rules and guidelines, including any new or pending developments;

· developing and implementing procedures to regularly review;

· update and correct corporate disclosure information, including information on the Internet website;

· bringing this policy to the attention of directors, management and staff;

· monitoring compliance with this policy and undertaking reviews of any violations, including assessment and implementation of appropriate consequences and remedial actions;

· reviewing this policy and updating as necessary and appropriate to ensure compliance with prevailing rules and guidelines; and

· ascertaining whether corporate developments constitute material information and, if so, ensuring compliance with the procedures outlined in this policy.

Vice-President or Manager of Investor Relations, if any

Assessments

The Board has no formal process for the assessment of the effectiveness and contribution of the individual directors. Each director has extensive public company experience and is familiar with what is required of him. Frequency of attendance at Board and committee meetings and the quality of participation in such meetings are two of the criteria by which the performance of a director will be assessed.

Stock Option/Share Incentive Plan

The Registrant’s directors and shareholders have approved a Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was initially approved by the TSX in 1996. The principal purposes of the Plan are to promote a proprietary interest in the Registrant among its directors, officers and employees; to retain, attract and motivate the qualified managers of the Registrant; to provide a long-term incentive element in overall compensation; and to promote the long-term profitability of the Registrant.

Incentives to participate under the Plan may be provided by the granting of share options or share appreciation rights (SARs). The share appreciation right entitles the participant in the Plan to elect, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, in lieu of exercising an outstanding share option, to receive the number of common shares of the Registrant equivalent in value to the difference between the option exercise price and the net existing market price of the Registrant’s common shares multiplied by the number of common shares over which he could otherwise exercise his stock option.

Under the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Registrant or its Executive Committee may from time to time grant to directors, officers, consultants and full and part time employees of the Registrant and its associated, affiliated, controlled and subsidiary companies, as the Board or its Executive Committee shall designate, the stock option to purchase from the Registrant such number of its common shares as the Board or its Executive Committee may designate. The Registrant’s Plan allows it to grant stock options to its employees, directors and consultants to acquire up to 18,888,434 common shares, of which stock options for 10,130,000 common shares were outstanding as at December 31, 2014, provided that the total number of common shares to be optioned to any one optionee shall not exceed 5% of the issued common shares of the Registrant at the time of grant. The exercise price of each option cannot be lower than the last recorded sale of a board lot on the TSX during the trading day immediately preceding the date of granting or, if there was no such sale, the high/low average price for the common shares on the TSX based on the last five trading days before the date of the grant. Pursuant to the Plan, stock options shall be granted pursuant to a stock option agreement in a form that complies with the rules and policies of the TSX, which provide as follows:

(a)

all stock options granted shall be non-assignable;

(b)

a stock option must be exercisable during a period not extending beyond 10 years from the time of grant; and

At the Registrant’s annual general meeting held on June 5, 2012, shareholder approval was provided for the increase in the maximum aggregate number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Plan from 16,335,000 shares to 18,888,434 shares at that time.

Dividend Policy

During its last three completed financial years, the Registrant has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends. Management intends for earnings, if any, to be retained to finance further growth and activities relating to the business of the Registrant.

The Directors of the Registrant may from time to time declare and authorize payment of such dividends, if any, as they may deem advisable and need not give notice of such declaration to any shareholder. No dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of funds and/or assets properly available for the payment of dividends and a declaration by the Directors as to the amount of such funds or assets available for dividends shall be conclusive. The Registrant may pay any such dividend wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets and in particular by paid up shares, bonds, debentures or other securities of the Registrant or any other corporation or in any one or more such ways as may be authorized by the Registrant or the Directors and where any difficulty arises with regard to such a distribution the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient, and in particular may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof, and may determine that cash payments in substitution for all or any part of the specific assets to which any shareholders are entitled shall be made to any shareholders on the basis of other value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties and may vest any such specific assets in trustees for the persons entitled to the dividend as may seem expedient to the Directors.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Any dividend declared on shares of any class by the Directors may be made payable on such date as is fixed by the Directors.

Subject to the rights of shareholders (if any) holding shares with special rights as to dividends, all dividends on shares of any class shall be declared and paid according to the number of such shares held.

The Directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds properly available for the payment of dividends such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves, which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for any other purpose to which such funds of the Registrant may be properly applied, and pending such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Registrant or be invested in such investments as the Directors may from time to time think fit. The Directors may also, without placing the same in reserve, carry forward such funds, which they think prudent not to divide.

If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any one of them may give an effective receipt for any dividend, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the share.

No dividend shall bear interest against the Registrant. Where the dividend to which a shareholder is entitled includes a fraction of a cent, such fraction shall be disregarded in making payment thereof and such payment shall be deemed to be payment in full.

Any dividend, bonuses or other moneys payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder, or in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of that one of the joint holders who is first named in the register, or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may direct in writing. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. The mailing of such cheque or warrant shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax required by law to be deducted) discharge all liability for the dividend, unless such cheque or warrant shall not be paid on presentation or the amount of tax so deducted shall not be paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, the Directors may from time to time capitalize any undistributed surplus on hand of the Registrant and may from time to time issue as fully paid and non-assessable any unissued shares, or any bonds, debentures or debt obligations of the Registrant as a dividend representing such undistributed surplus on hand or any part thereof.

The Registrant’s Notice of Articles and articles of association, and related matters, are summarized below.

1. The Registrant was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 22, 1987 under the name, “Canarc Resource Corp.” by registration of its Memorandum and Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies. At the Registrant’s annual and extraordinary general meeting held in May 2005, the shareholders approved the Notice of Articles be altered to remove the application of the “Pre-Existing Company Provisions” as set forth in Table 3 of the Business Corporations Regulations under the B.C. Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002 (the “BCBCA”) and the replacement of the Articles with a new set of Articles which comply with the BCBCA. The Registrant no longer has a Memorandum, which has been replaced by, in part, its Notice of Articles.

The Registrant’s Memorandum and Articles do not provide for any specific objects or purposes.

2. Set forth below is a summary of provisions contained in the Registrant’s Articles with respect to:

(a)

Director’s power to vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the director is materially interested:

A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Registrant has entered or proposes to enter is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution.

(b)

Directors’ power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body:

See (a), above. A director does not hold a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction merely because the contract or transaction relates to the remuneration of the director in that person's capacity as director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or of an affiliate of the Registrant.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

(c)

Borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied:

The directors are not required to retire upon reaching a specific age.

(e)

3. All common shares of the Registrant rank equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation in assets (in the event of liquidation) and in all other respects. Dividend entitlement is set by way of the shareholders status as a shareholder on the chosen record date and does not lapse over time. Each share carries one vote per share at meetings of the shareholders of the Registrant. Directors do not stand for re-election on staggered terms at present. There are no indentures or agreements limiting the payment of dividends and there are no conversion rights, special liquidation rights, pre-emptive rights or subscription rights attached to the common shares. The shares presently issued are not subject to any calls or assessments. There is a Shareholders Right Plan as detailed in Item 10.B under Summary of Shareholders Rights Plan.

4. The rights of holders of common shares may not be modified other than by vote of 2/3 of the common shares voting on such modification. The quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. Due to the quorum requirements, the rights of holders of common shares may be modified by the votes of less than a majority of the issued common shares of the Registrant.

5. The directors of the Registrant call all annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings. The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders. The directors, the president (if any), the secretary (if any), the assistant secretary (if any), any solicitor for the Registrant, the auditor of the Registrant and any other persons invited by the directors are entitled to attend any meeting of shareholders, but if any of those persons does attend a meeting of shareholders, that person is not to be counted in the quorum and is not entitled to vote at the meeting unless that person is a shareholder or proxy holder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Summary of the Shareholder Rights Plan

The following is a summary of the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan which was approved at the Registrant’s annual and extraordinary meeting held in May 2005, and ratified and confirmed at the Registrant’s annual general meetings in April 2008 and again in June 2011.

102

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

General

The rights will be issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan agreement dated and effective April 30, 2005, between the Registrant and Computershare Trust Company of Canada as the rights agent. Each right will entitle the holder to purchase from the Registrant one common share at the exercise price of CAD$50.00 per share, subject to adjustments, at any time after the separation time (defined below). However, if a flip-in event (defined below) occurs, each right will entitle the holder to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, common shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price. The rights are non-exercisable until the separation time.

Trading of Rights

Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the outstanding certificates for common shares and the rights will be transferred with, and only with, the common shares. As soon as practicable following the separation time, separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record of common shares as of the close of business at the separation time and the separate rights certificates will thereafter evidence the rights.

Separation Time and Acquiring Person

The rights will separate and trade apart from the common shares and become exercisable at the separation time. “Separation time” generally means the close of business on the 10th trading day following the commencement or announcement of the intent of any person to commence a take-over bid, other than a permitted bid or a competing bid, but under certain circumstances can mean the eighth trading day after a person becomes an “acquiring person” by acquiring 20% or more of the voting shares of any class.

Flip-in Event

A “flip-in event” will, in general terms, occur when a person becomes an acquiring person. Upon the occurrence of a flip-in event, each right will entitle the holder to acquire, on payment of the exercise price, that number of common shares having a market value equal to two-times the exercise price. However, any rights beneficially owned by an acquiring person or by any direct or indirect transferees of such person, will be void. The term “beneficial ownership” is defined to include, under certain circumstances, shares owned indirectly through affiliates, associates, trusts and partnerships, other situations of ownership deemed by operation of law, shares subject to acquisition or voting agreements and shares owned by persons acting jointly or in concert. There are several exceptions, including exceptions directed towards investment managers, trust companies, and independent managers of pension plans who are not participating in a take-over bid.

103

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Permitted Bids

Permitted bids are exempted from the operation of the Shareholder Rights Plan. In summary, a permitted bid is a take-over bid made by way of take-over bid circular which complies with the following provisions:

(a)

It is made to all holders of voting shares of the Registrant of a particular class and for all those voting shares.

(b)

No voting shares can be taken up and paid for before the close of business on the “Permitted Bid Expiry Date”, as described below, and unless more than 50% of voting shares held by shareholders independent of the offeror are tendered and not withdrawn.

(c)

Voting shares may be tendered at any time until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date and may be withdrawn until taken up and paid for.

(d)

If the condition described in (b) above is met, there will be a public announcement and the take-over bid will be open for a further period of 10 business days.

The Shareholder Rights Plan contains provisions designed to ensure that, if considered appropriate, the time for tendering to two or more competing permitted bids will occur on the same date.

Permitted Bid Expiry Date

The Permitted Bid provisions require that for a Take-Over to be a Permitted Bid it must be left open until the Permitted Bid Expiry Date. The “Permitted Bid Expiry Date” means 60 days following the date of the Take-Over Bid.

Exchange Option

Under certain circumstances, the board of directors of the Registrant can, on exercise of a right and payment of the exercise price, issue other securities or assets of the Registrant in lieu of common shares. The board of directors of the Registrant can also determine to issue in exchange for the rights, but without payment of the exercise price, common shares having a value equal to the exercise price or other securities or assets of the Registrant having the same value.

104

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Adjustments

The exercise price, the number and kind of shares subject to purchase upon exercise of each right and the number of rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution in the event that the Registrant takes certain actions involving the Registrant's share capital which would otherwise have a dilutive effect.

Redemption

At any time before the occurrence of a flip-in event, the board of directors may elect to redeem the rights in whole at a redemption price of $0.0001 per right.

Waiver

The board of directors may waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any flip-in event if it determines that a person became an acquiring person by inadvertence, conditional upon such person having, within 10 days after the determination by the board of directors, reduced its beneficial ownership of shares such that it is no longer an acquiring person. The board of directors may also, until a flip-in event has occurred, waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any particular flip-in event, but in that event, the board of directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any other flip-in event which may arise under any take-over bid then in effect.

Amendments

The board of directors may amend the Shareholder Rights Plan to correct clerical or typographical errors, to maintain the validity of the plan as a result of any changes in any applicable legislation or to increase or decrease the exercise price. Any amendments required to maintain the validity of the Shareholder Rights Plan must be submitted to the shareholders of the Registrant or, after the separation time, to the holders of the rights for confirmation.

Other amendments can only be made with the approval of the shareholders of the Registrant or, after the separation time, the holders of the rights. Any supplements or amendments to the Shareholder Rights Plan require the prior written consent of the TSX.

105

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Term

The Shareholder Rights Plan has a term of 10 years; however, it is subject to ratification at the Meeting, and also at each of the shareholder meetings following the third and sixth anniversaries of the effective date of the Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Shareholder Rights Plan is not so ratified at any meeting, the Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate forthwith.

The text of the ordinary resolution, in substantially the form which was presented to the shareholders, subject to such changes not affecting the general intent of the said resolution as may be required by the regulatory authorities or by counsel for the Registrant, is set forth below:

“BE IT RESOLVED, with or without amendment, as an ordinary resolution, that the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement, dated for reference April 30, 2005, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as described in the Information Circular of the Company dated as at April 26, 2005, be and it is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.”

For a description of those contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business refer to Items 4.A and 4.D.

10.D Exchange Controls

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Registrant’s common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (10% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Registrant) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.

107

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Act”), there are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of British Columbia or in the charter or any other constituent documents of the Registrant on the right of foreigners to hold or vote the common shares of the Registrant.

Management of the Registrant considers that the following general summary is materially complete and fairly describes those provisions of the Investment Canada Act pertinent to an investment by an American investor in the Registrant.

The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire the common shares.

The Investment Canada Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture (each an “entity”) that is not a "Canadian" as defined in the Investment Canada Act (a “non-Canadian”), unless after review, the Director of Investments appointed by the minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the common shares by a non-Canadian other than a “WTO Investor” (as that term is defined by the Investment Canada Act, and which term includes entities which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the World Trade Organization) when the Company was not controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Registrant and the value of the assets of the Registrant, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Canada Act, equals or exceeds $5 million for direct acquisition and over $50 million for indirect acquisition, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, regardless of the value of the assets of the Registrant. An investment in the common shares by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when the Registrant was controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Canada Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Registrant and the value of the assets of the Registrant, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Canada Act was not less than a specified amount. A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Registrant for the purposes of the Investment Canada Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares. The acquisition of one third or more, but less than a majority of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Registrant unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Registrant was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of the common shares.

Certain transactions relating to the common shares would be exempt from the Investment Canada Act, including: (a) an acquisition of the common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities; (b) an acquisition of control of the Registrant in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and (c) an acquisition of control of the Registrant by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Registrant, through the ownership of the common shares, remained unchanged.

10.E Taxation

ALL SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY ONLY AND OF A GENERAL NATURE AND IS NOT INTENDED, NOR SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED, TO BE LEGAL OR TAX ADVISE TO ANY PARTICULAR SHAREHOLDER.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, applicable to a US Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of the Registrant. This discussion does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a US Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences. (Refer to “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” for material Canadian federal income tax consequences).

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This discussion is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares of the Registrant and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Registrant should consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Registrant.

U.S. Holders

109

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of common shares of the Registrant who is (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or (iv) a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, persons or entities that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion transaction, constructive sale or other arrangement involving more than one position, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.

Distribution on Common Shares of the Company

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of the Registrant are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Registrant has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (The section, “Foreign Tax Credit”, below provides more details). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Registrant, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirements for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.

Dividends paid on the common shares of the Registrant generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Registrant may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of the Registrant) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Registrant (unless the Registrant qualifies as a “passive foreign investment company,” as defined below). The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion.

110

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Certain information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply with respect to the Registrant’s common shares. In particular, a payor or middleman within the U.S., or in certain cases outside the U.S., will be required to withhold 31% of any payments to a holder of the Registrant’s common shares of dividends on, or proceeds from the sale of, such common shares within the U.S., unless the holder is an exempt recipient, if the holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding tax requirements. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax counsel regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to the Registrant’s common shares.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Registrant may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest,” “financial services income,” “shipping income,” and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Registrant will generally constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “financial services income” for these purposes. In addition, U.S. Holders which are corporations that own 10% or more of the voting stock of the Registrant may be entitled to an “indirect” foreign tax credit under Section 902 with respect to the payment of dividends by the Registrant under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and limitations. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of the Registrant should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares of the Company

111

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Registrant equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the common shares of the Registrant. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares of the Registrant are held for more than one year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For U.S. Holders which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Registrant's outstanding shares is held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or companies, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and the Registrant is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Registrant may be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. The Registrant does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign investment company. However, there can be no assurance that the Registrant will not be considered a foreign investment company for the current or any future taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Registrant could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC"), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Registrant's income which is passive, or the percentage of the Registrant's assets which produce or are held for the production of passive income. U.S. Holders owning common shares of a PFIC are subject to the highest rate of tax on ordinary income in effect for the applicable taxable year and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned with respect to certain “excess distributions” on and dispositions of PFIC stock. However, if the U.S. Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") with respect to such shareholder's interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply. Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A U.S. Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States federal income tax on such income inclusions. Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons. In addition, subject to certain limitations, U.S. Holders owning, actually or constructively, marketable (as specifically defined) stock in a PFIC will be permitted to elect to mark that stock to market annually, rather than be subject to the excess distribution regime of section 1291 described above. Amounts included in or deducted from income under this alternative (and actual gains and losses realized upon disposition, subject to certain limitations) will be treated as ordinary gains or losses. This alternative will apply to taxable years of U.S. Holders beginning after 1997 and taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of U.S. Holders.

112

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Because the PFIC determination is made annually on the basis of income and assets, there can be no assurance that the Registrant will not be classified a PFIC in the current or in a subsequent year. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Registrant's determination concerning its PFIC status will not be challenged by the IRS, or that it will be able to satisfy record keeping requirements which will be imposed on QEFs in the event that it qualifies as a PFIC.

Controlled Foreign Registrant

If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of the shares of the Registrant is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), each of which own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote of the Registrant (“United States Shareholder”), the Registrant could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would affect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFC’s Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of the CFC’s earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of the Registrant which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Registrant attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign Registrants ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. Special rules apply to United States Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section 1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion. The Registrant does not believe that it currently qualifies as a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that the Registrant will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

113

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

A brief description of certain provisions of the tax treaty between Canada and the United States is included below, together with a brief outline of certain taxes, including withholding provisions, to which United States security holders are subject under existing laws and regulations of Canada. The consequences, if any, of provincial, state and local taxes are not considered.

The following information is general, and security holders should seek the advice of their own tax advisors, tax counsel or accountants with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of the matters referred to herein and of any provincial, state, or local taxes.

The discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of common stock of the Registrant for a shareholder of the Registrant who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold shares of common stock of the Registrant as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”). This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a “permanent establishment” situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholder’s holding in the Registrant is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof. It has been assumed that there will be no other relevant amendment of any governing law although no assurance can be given in this respect. This discussion is general only and is not a substitute for independent advice from a shareholder’s own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors.

The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Convention”).

Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada. The Convention limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the United States and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor corporation.

The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would generally be equal to the amount by which the paid up or stated capital of the Registrant had increased by reason of the payment of such dividend. The Registrant will furnish additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend. Interest paid or deemed to be paid on the Registrant’s debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.

114

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Convention generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization operated exclusively to administer or provide pension, retirement or employee benefit fund, if the organization is a resident of the United States and is generally exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States provided it is not carrying on a trade or business.

Dispositions of Common Shares

Under the Canadian Tax Act, subject to certain restrictions, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of common stock of the Registrant is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition. The capital gain or loss must be computed in Canadian currency using a weighted average adjusted cost base for identical properties. Fifty percent of the capital gains net of losses are included in income. The amount by which a shareholder’s capital loss exceeds the capital gain in a year may be deducted from a capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous years or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of "taxable Canadian property”. Shares of common stock of the Registrant will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Registrant belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arm’s length and in certain other circumstances.

The Convention relieves United States residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless:

(a) the value of the shares is derived principally from “real property” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production;

(b) the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him or her when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada; or

115

Canarc Resource Corp.

(c) the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are provided in Canarc’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the notes thereto.

Item 3.D provides information concerning risk factors.

Management of Capital

The Registrant is an exploration stage company and this involves a high degree of risk. The Registrant has not determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenues from its mineral property interests and, therefore, does not generate cash flows from operations. The Registrant’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and proceeds from notes payable. The Registrant is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Registrant defines its capital as debt and share capital. Capital requirements are driven by the Registrant’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests. To effectively manage the Registrant’s capital requirements, the Registrant has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Registrant monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities.

The Registrant has in the past invested its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Registrant’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital.

Although the Registrant has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing in the future. The Registrant will continue to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its commitments as they become due, to continue exploration work on its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the coming periods.

117

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

There were no changes in the Registrant’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Management of Financial Risk

The Registrant is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows.

The fair value hierarchy categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair value of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of the Registrant’s receivables, promissory note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash is measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs. Disclosure is not made of the fair value of the long-term investments as the shares do not have a quoted market price in an active market. There is no separately quoted market value for the Registrant’s investment in the shares of Aztec, and the fair value cannot be reliably determined. Therefore they were recorded at cost in 2012 and written down to a nominal value of CAD$100 in 2013 due to the lack of liquidity in the stock. In October 2014, the Registrant received 358,000 shares from Aztec in settlement of debt owed to the Registrant which the Registrant had written off in 2013. All gains and losses are included in operations in the period in which they arise.

(a) Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Registrant if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

118

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Registrant limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions.

Management has reviewed the items comprising the accounts receivable balance which include amounts receivable from certain related parties, provincial tax credit for qualified mineral expenditures, and goods and services tax refunds due from the government, and determined that all accounts are collectible; accordingly there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.

(b) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Registrant will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

The Registrant ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Registrant's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at December 31, 2014, the Registrant had a working capital deficiency of $156,000 (2013 - $921,000). The Registrant will require additional funding to meet its short-term liabilities and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2015.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due in less than 90 days, and the notes payable, if any, are due on demand.

The significant market risk exposures to which the Registrant is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk:

The Registrant’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. A certain portion of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, and fluctuations in U.S. dollars would impact the cumulative translation adjustment of the Registrant and the values of its assets and liabilities as its audited consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars.

119

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows:


	December 31,
	2014	2013
	(Held in CAD$)

Cash	$ 643	$ 48
Accounts receivable	10	-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(799)	(852)

Net assets (liabilities)	$ (146)	$ (804)

Based upon the above net exposure as at December 31, 2014 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease/increase of $14,600 (2013 - $80,400) in cumulative translation adjustment in the Registrant’s shareholders’ equity.

The Registrant has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

(ii) Interest rate risk:

In respect of financial assets, the Registrant's policy is to invest cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Registrant as it has no cash equivalents at period-end and the promissory notes receivable and notes payable, if any, are stated at fixed interest rates.

(iii)

Other price risk:

Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices.

120

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

The Registrant’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby the Registrant’s investment in marketable securities is subject to market price fluctuations. The Registrant held no marketable securities at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms; and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Registrant’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Registrant have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Registrant’s controls include policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Registrant;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the annual financial statements or interim financial statements.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Registrant’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the SEC’s Guidance Regarding Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Release No. 33-8810 and based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO 2013 framework). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based upon its assessment, management, including the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

123

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

On January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations new internal control framework (“COSO 2013”), which did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

The Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to provide an attestation on management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, because the Registrant was not an accelerated filer or large accelerated files. Therefore, this report does not include an attestation report of the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Registrant to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

I have reviewed this annual report on Form 20-F of Canarc Resource Corp.;

Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CANARC RESOURCE CORP.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Canarc Resource Corp., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

137

Canarc Resource Corp.

Form 20-F

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canarc Resource Corp. as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Canarc Resource Corp. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 22, 1987, is in the mineral exploration business and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves in its mineral property interests, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing and receive necessary permitting for the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The address of the Company’s registered office is #1040 – 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2W2.

The Company has no operating revenues, has incurred significant net losses of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 - $1.4 million and 2012 - $1.2 million), and has a deficit of $50.3 million as at December 31, 2014 (2013 - $48.7 million and 2012 - $47.5 million). Furthermore, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $156,000 (2013 - $921,000). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management would need to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives and continues to seek financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and such adjustments could be material.

Functional currency and presentation currency:

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and accounts denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar have been translated as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial position date;

Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at fair value, in which case they are translated at the date when the fair value was determined;

Shareholders’ equity items at historical exchange rates; and

Revenue and expense items at the rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date.

The Company’s presentation currency is the United States dollar. For presentation purposes, all amounts are translated from the Canadian dollar functional currency to the United States dollar presentation currency for each period using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period.

Exchange gains and losses arising from translation to the Company’s presentation currency are recorded as cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

(tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts)

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements along with the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and, as such, estimates and judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of promissory notes receivable, mineral property interests, receivables and long-term investments; the determination of accrued liabilities; accrued site remediation; amount of flow-through obligations and recognition of deferred income tax liability; the variables used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted and finder’s fees warrants issued; recoverability of receivables and long-term investments; and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

The Company applies judgment in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in these financial statements.

The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cast substantial doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.

New accounting standards and recent pronouncements:

The Company has reviewed new and amended accounting pronouncements that have been issued by the IASB. All of the new and revised standards described below may be early adopted.

(i) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) (“IFRS 9”)

This is a finalized version of IFRS 9, which contains accounting requirements for financial instruments, replacing IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard contains requirements in the following areas:

Classification and measurement. Financial assets are classified by reference to the business model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. The 2014 version of IFRS 9 introduces a “fair value through other comprehensive income” category for certain debt instruments. Financial liabilities are classified in a similar manner to under IAS 39; however, there are differences in the requirements applying to the measurement of an entity's own credit risk.

Impairment. The 2014 version of IFRS 9 introduces an “expected credit loss” model for the measurement of the impairment of financial assets, so it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before a credit loss is recognized.

Hedge accounting. Introduces a new hedge accounting model that is designed to be more closely aligned with how entities undertake risk management activities when hedging financial and non-financial risk exposures.

Derecognition. The requirements for the derecognition of financial assets and liabilities are carried forward from IAS 39.

IFRS 9 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)

Amends IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets to:

clarify that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate for property, plant and equipment;

introduce a rebuttable presumption that an amortization method that is based on the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is inappropriate, which can only be overcome in limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated; and

add guidance that expected future reductions in the selling price of an item that was produced using an asset could indicate the expectation of technological or commercial obsolescence of the asset, which, in turn, might reflect a reduction of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2016.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables and promissory notes receivable.

Held to maturity

These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. HTM investments are initially recognized on their trade-date at fair value, and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. If there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, determined by reference to external credit ratings and other relevant indicators, the financial asset is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. Any changes to the carrying amount of the investment, including impairment losses, are recognized in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified in any of the other financial asset categories. Changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets are recognized as other comprehensive income (loss) and classified as a component of equity. AFS assets include investments in equities of other entities.

Management assesses the carrying value of AFS financial assets at least annually and any impairment charges are also recognized in profit or loss. When financial assets classified as AFS are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) are included in profit or loss.

Financial instruments: (continued)

(ii) Financial liabilities:

The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: FVTPL, other financial liabilities, and derivative financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. The Company has no financial liabilities at FVTPL.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date. Financial liabilities include trade accounts payable, notes payable and other payables.

Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit or loss. Derivatives include warrants denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

(iii) Fair value hierarchy:

The Company categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Financial instruments: (continued)

(iv) Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An evaluation is made as to whether a decline in fair value is “significant” or “prolonged” based on indicators such as significant adverse changes in the market, economic or legal environment.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

(v) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

Financial assets are derecognized when the investments mature or are sold, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized within other income and finance costs.

(c)

Mineral property interests:

All costs related to investments in mineral property interests are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. The costs related to a mineral property from which there is production, together with the costs of mining equipment, will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners or when a property is abandoned or when the capitalized costs are not considered to be economically recoverable, the related property costs are written down to the amount recoverable.

From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of a property option agreement. As the property options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Property option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. Proceeds received on the sale or property option of the Company’s property interest is recorded as a reduction of the mineral property cost. The Company recognizes in income those costs that are recovered on mineral property interests when amounts received or receivable are in excess of the carrying amount.

The amounts shown for mineral property interests represent costs incurred to date and include advance net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties, less recoveries and write-downs, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.

(d)

Equipment:

Equipment is recorded at cost and, for equipment subject to amortization, the Company uses the declining balance method at a rate of 30% annually.

(e)

Proceeds on unit offerings:

Proceeds received on the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are first allocated to the fair value of the common shares with any residual value then allocated to warrants.

(f)

Non-monetary transactions:

Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued at their quoted market price at the date of issuance.

(g)

Flow-through common shares:

The Company will from time to time, issue flow-through common shares to finance a significant portion of its exploration program. Pursuant to the terms of the flow-through share agreements, these shares transfer the tax deductibility of qualifying resource expenditures to investors. On issuance, the Company bifurcates the flow-through shares into: (i) a flow-through share premium, equal to the estimated premium, if any, investors pay for the flow-through feature, which is recognized as a liability and (ii) share capital. Upon expenses being incurred, the Company derecognizes the liability and recognizes a deferred tax liability for the amount of tax reduction renounced to the shareholders. The premium is recognized as other income and the related deferred tax is recognized as a tax provision.

Proceeds received from the issuance of flow-through shares are restricted to be used only for Canadian resource property exploration expenditures with a two-year period. The portion of the proceeds received but not yet expended at the end of the Company’s period is disclosed separately as flow-through share proceeds.

The Company may also be subject to a Part XII.6 tax on flow-through proceeds renounced under the Look-back Rule, in accordance with the Government of Canada flow-through regulations. When applicable, this tax is accrued as a financial expense until paid.

(h)

Share-based payments:

The Company has a stock option plan that is described in Note 11(c). Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The offset to the recorded cost is to the reserve for share-based payments. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related reserve for share-based payments is transferred to share capital. Upon expiry, the recorded fair value is transferred from reserve for share-based payments to deficit.

The Company has a share appreciation rights plan, which provides stock option holders the right to receive the number of common shares that are equal in value to the intrinsic value of the stock options at the date of exercise. Amounts transferred from the reserve for share-based payment to share capital are based on the ratio of shares actually issued to the number of stock options originally granted. The remainder is transferred to deficit.

(i)

Environmental rehabilitation:

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of mineral property interests and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to mining assets along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. The rehabilitation asset is depreciated on the same basis as mining assets.

The Company’s estimates of reclamation costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to mining assets with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision. The Company’s estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.

Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of reclamation costs, are charged to profit or loss for the period.

The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to profit or loss in the period incurred.

The costs of rehabilitation projects that were included in the rehabilitation provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The cost of ongoing current programs to prevent and control pollution is charged against profit or loss as incurred.

(j)

Earnings (loss) per share:

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per common share amounts. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of the diluted per

common share amount assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In the Company’s case, diluted loss per share presented is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of outstanding options and warrants in the loss per common share calculation would be anti-dilutive.

(k)

Provisions:

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.

(l)

Income taxes:

The Company follows the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss in the period that includes the substantive enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that recovery is considered probable.

Management of Capital

The Company is an exploration stage company and this involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenues from its mineral property interests and, therefore, does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and proceeds from notes payable. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company defines its capital as debt and share capital. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities.

The Company has in the past invested its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital.

Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing in the future. The Company will continue to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its commitments as they become due, to continue exploration work on its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the coming periods.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Management of Financial Risk

The Company has classified its cash as financial assets at FVTPL; long-term investments as AFS financial assets; receivables and prepaids and promissory note receivables as loans and receivables; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable as other financial liabilities.

The Company’s long-term investment in shares of Aztec Metals Corp. (“Aztec”), a company sharing two common directors, is classified as AFS but does not have a quoted market price in an active market and is therefore measured at cost, net of any write-downs.

The fair values of the Company’s receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash is measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows.

Management of Financial Risk (continued)

(a)

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions.

Management has reviewed the items comprising the accounts receivable balance which include amounts receivable from certain related parties, provincial tax credit for qualified mineral expenditures, and goods and services tax refunds due from the government, and determined that all accounts are collectible; accordingly, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.

(b)

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at December 31, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $156,000 (2013 - $921,000). The Company will require significant additional funding to meet its short-term liabilities and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2015.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due in less than 90 days, and the notes payable, if any, are due on demand.

(c)

Market risk:

The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk:

The Company’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. A certain portion of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, and fluctuations in U.S. dollars would impact the cumulative translation adjustment of the Company’s assets and liabilities as its consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

Management of Financial Risk (continued)

(c)

Market risk: (continued)

(i) Foreign currency risk: (continued)

The Company is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows:


	December 31,
	2014	2013
	(Held in CAD$)

Cash	$ 643	$ 48
Accounts receivable	10	-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(799)	(852)

Net assets (liabilities)	$ (146)	$ (804)

Based upon the above net exposure as at December 31, 2014 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease (increase) of approximately $14,600 (2013 - $80,400) in the cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

(ii) Interest rate risk:

In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest excess cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Company as it has no cash equivalents at period-end and the promissory notes receivable and notes payable, if any, are stated at fixed interest rates.

(iii)

Other price risk:

Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices.

The Company’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby investments in marketable securities are subject to market price fluctuations. The Company held no marketable securities at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

(i) New Polaris: (continued)

On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Pre-Development and Earn-In Binding Agreement with PanTerra Gold (British Columbia) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PanTerra Gold Limited, (“PanTerra”). PanTerra has a 30-month option to earn a 50% interest in the New Polaris project by spending a total of CAD$10 million in three stages of predevelopment activities including metallurgical test work, drilling, detailed mine planning, tailings dam design, environmental permitting, and completion of a definitive feasibility study. In Stage One, PanTerra shall spend CAD$500,000 for laboratory production of flotation concentrate followed by test work through the Glencore Technology Albion pilot plant, and for comprehensive technical and economic review and commencement of environmental baseline data collection required for permitting. In Stage Two, PanTerra can earn a 20% interest in the New Polaris project by spending CAD$3.5 million in predevelopment expenditures which would include 10,000 metres drilling program and engineering and completion of field data required for environmental permitting. In Stage Three, PanTerra can earn an additional 30% interest in the project for a total interest of 50% by spending CAD$6 million in predevelopment expenditures which would primarily focus on the completion of a definitive feasibility study and would include further 10,000 metres of infill drilling, additional metallurgical test work, and preliminary engineering. PanTerra can increase its interest in the New Polaris project to 51% by purchasing 1% from the Company within six months of completion of the definitive feasibility study at a cost of 1% of the net present value established by the definitive feasibility study using a 10% discount rate.

(ii) Windfall Hills:

In April 2011, the Company entered into two property option agreements to purchase 100% interests in two adjacent gold properties located in British Columbia. In April 2011, the Company entered into a property option agreement with Atna Resources Ltd. (“Atna”) whereby the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Uduk Lake properties by making $750,000 in cash payments over a four year period of which $125,000 has been paid, honouring a pre-existing 1.5% NSR production royalty that can be purchased for CAD$1 million, and granting the vendor a 2% NSR production royalty. In March 2012, the Company amended the property option agreement in which the option payment of $100,000 due on April 21, 2012 was payable in 12 monthly installments of $8,333 over a twelve month period beginning April 21, 2012. Property option payments of $25,000 were paid in 2013 (2012 - $75,000). In April 2013, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement with Atna whereby the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Uduk Lake properties by the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares at a value of CAD$0.10 per share, honouring a pre-existing 1.5% NSR production royalty that can be purchased for CAD$1 million, and granting Atna a 3% NSR production royalty.

In April 2011, the Company entered into a property option agreement with a vendor whereby the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Dunn properties by making CAD$250,000 in cash payments over a four year period, and a final bonus payment based on all gold resources estimated in an independent National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical report. The formula for the bonus payment is $30 per oz for measured resources, $20 per oz for indicated resources, and $10 per oz for inferred resources. In March 2012, the Company amended the property option agreement in which the option payment of CAD$25,000 due on April 20, 2012 was payable in three monthly installments of CAD$8,333 over a three month period beginning April 21, 2012 which were paid. In April 2013, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement whereby the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Dunn properties by the issuance of 500,000 common shares at a value of CAD$0.10 per share and granting the vendor a 2% NSR royalty which can be reduced to 1% NSR royalty for $500,000.

(iii) Tay-LP:

On August 24, 2009, the Company entered into a property option agreement with Ross River Minerals Inc. and Ross River Gold Ltd. to acquire up to 100% interest in the Tay-LP gold property, located in Yukon, by paying CAD$1 million in cash and/or shares and spending CAD$1.5 million on exploration over a three-year period which can occur in two stages. In September 2011 and October 2012, the agreement was amended. The Company decided not to proceed with any further expenditure on the Tay LP property which was written off in 2013.

Mineral Property Interests (continued)

(c)

Title to mineral property interests:

The Company has diligently investigated rights of ownership of all of its mineral property interests/concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, all agreements relating to such ownership rights are in good standing. However, all properties and concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

(d)

Realization of assets:

The Company’s investment in and expenditures on its mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent on establishing legal ownership of the mineral properties, on the attainment of successful commercial production or from the proceeds of their disposal. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

(e)

Environmental:

Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation of the Company’s operation may cause additional expenses and restrictions.

If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.

The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its current properties and former properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former mineral property interests that may result in material liability to the Company.

As at December 31, 2014, the Company had an interest of 7% in Aztec (2013 – 7%).

There is no separately quoted market value for the Aztec shares and the fair value cannot be reliably determined. Therefore they were recorded at cost, net of any write-downs, in 2014.

In 2013, the Company wrote-down its investment in Aztec to a nominal value of CAD$100. In October 2014, the Company received 358,000 shares from Aztec in settlement of debt owed to the Company which the Company had written off in 2013.

Derecognition of Liabilities

Pursuant to an audit by the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) in 2010, CRA disallowed certain exploration expenditures incurred in 2007 as Canadian exploration expenditures (“CEE”) for flow-through purposes in which the Company recognized a provision for flow through indemnification. In 2011, the Company paid CAD$37,900 including interest for indemnities relating to ineligible CEE for flow-through purposes. At December 31, 2012, the Company accrued liabilities of approximately CAD$146,300 for estimated indemnities related to the disqualified CEE for flow-through purposes and CAD$62,100 in accrued interest related to the indemnities. In 2013, the Company determined that it was improbable that any further cash outlays would be required, and therefore the Company derecognized the provision for flow through indemnification.

In 2013, the Company also derecognized a provision of $99,000 by writing off certain liabilities related to an exploration project which was written off in 2008.

Stock option plan:

The Company has a stock option plan that allows it to grant stock options to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants to acquire up to 18,888,434 common shares, of which stock options for 10,130,000 common shares are outstanding as at December 31, 2014. The exercise price of each stock option cannot be lower than the last recorded sale of a board lot on the TSX during the trading day immediately preceding the date of granting or, if there was no such date, the high/low average price for the common shares on the TSX based on the last five trading days before the date of the grant. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years and terminate 30 days following the termination of the optionee’s employment, except in the case of death, in which case they terminate one year after the event. Vesting of options is made at the discretion of the board at the time the options are granted.

At the discretion of the board, certain stock option grants provide the holder the right to receive the number of common shares, valued at the quoted market price at the time of exercise of the stock options, that represent the share appreciation since granting the stock options.

The continuity of outstanding stock options for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Stock option plan: (continued)

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted and the weighted average assumptions used to calculate share-based payments for stock option grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as follows:


	2014	2013	2012

Number of stock options granted	4,550,000	2,000,000	2,860,000
Fair value of stock options granted (CAD$)	$0.08	$0.06	$0.09

Market price of shares on grant date (CAD$)	$0.09	$0.08	$0.14
Pre-vest forfeiture rate	5.29%	3.54%	1.03%
Risk-free interest rate	1.38%	1.71%	1.17%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%	0%
Expected stock price volatility	118%	117%	113%
Expected option life in years	4.48	4.52	2.93

Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common shares.

In March 2012, the Company granted 1,400,000 stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants with an exercise price of CAD$0.10 and an expiry date of March 23, 2013, and which were subject to vesting provisions in which 25% of the options vest immediately on the grant date and 25% vest every three months thereafter.

In June 2012, the Company granted 1,460,000 stock options to directors, officers and employees with an exercise price of CAD$0.145 and an expiry date of June 18, 2017.

Shareholder rights plan:

On May 31, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved a shareholder rights plan (the “Plan”) that became effective on April 30, 2005. The Plan is intended to ensure that any entity seeking to acquire control of the Company makes an offer that represents fair value to all shareholders and provides the board of directors with sufficient time to assess and evaluate the offer, to permit competing bids to emerge, and, as appropriate, to explore and develop alternatives to maximize value for shareholders. Under the Plan, each shareholder at the time of the Plan’s adoption was issued one Right for each common share of the Company held. Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof, except for certain “Acquiring Persons” (as defined in the Plan), to purchase from treasury one common share at a 50% discount to the prevailing market price, subject to certain adjustments intended to prevent dilution. The Rights are exercisable after the occurrence of specified events set out in the Plan generally related to when a person, together with affiliated or associated persons, acquires, or makes a take-over bid to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company. The Rights expire on April 30, 2015.

Other Corporate Transactions

(a)

In February 2014, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Pan American Goldfields Ltd. (“Pan American”) with respect to a business combination whereby the Company may acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Pan American. Funds of $40,000 were advanced to Pan American in April 2014 which bore an interest rate of 1% per month but was written off in September 2014 as collectability was doubtful. In May 2014, as a result of its due diligence, the Company terminated the LOI with Pan American.

(b)

On July 15, 2014, the Company and Santa Fe Gold Corporation (“Santa Fe”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Santa Fe was to issue 66,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Company, and the Company was to issue 33,000,000 of its common shares to Santa Fe (the "Share Exchange"). Pursuant to the Agreement, in July 2014, the Company advanced a promissory note loan of $200,000 to Santa Fe, which bore an interest rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly; both the principal and interest were due and payable on January 15, 2015, and any past due principal and interest shall bear an interest rate of 14%. In September 2014, further funds of $20,000 were advanced to Santa Fe. On October 15, 2014, the conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement were not satisfied and the Agreement terminated on that date. The promissory note receivable from Santa Fe along with accrued interest was determined to be impaired as collectability was doubtful, and was written off at December 31, 2014. In 2015, demand notices for repayment have been submitted by the Company to Santa Fe, as the Company maintains its legal rights relative to the promissory note loan.
