This list is not exhaustive of
the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking
statements are described further under the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Information on the Company”
of this annual report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not
to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation
subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or
to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events other than as may be specifically required by applicable securities
laws and regulations.

|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.

|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.

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 explorationand development programs
and mineral property interests will result in the discovery, development or production of a commercially viable ore body.

11Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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.





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.



12Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







As noted in its audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Registrant has no operating revenues, has incurred significant operating
losses and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $47.5 million at December 31, 2012. Furthermore, the Registrant has working
capital deficiency of approximately $589,000 as at December 31, 2012, 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, 2012 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.



13Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.





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.

14Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.





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”),
Caza Gold Corp. (“Caza”) 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.



15Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.



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.

16Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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





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,
| | - | --------------------------------------------

17Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







| | · | 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.





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.

18Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F













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.





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.

19Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F













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 are 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.

20Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F













Risks Related to the Registrant’s
Common Shares





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).



21Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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, 2012, the Company
had 110,242,171 common shares and 9,999,000 outstanding share purchase options and 16,704,000 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, 2012, securities that could be dilutive represented approximately 24.22% of the Company’s
issued shares. Certain of these dilutive securities were exercisable at prices below the December 31, 2012 closing market price
of CAD$0.13 for the Company’s shares, which would not accordingly result in dilution to existing shareholders if exercised.





ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE
COMPANY



The Registrant is a Canadian mineral
exploration company and is subject to NI 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.

Introduction



The Registrant commenced operations
in 1987 and, since inception, has been engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of
precious metal properties. The Registrant currently owns or holds, directly or indirectly, interests in several precious metal
properties which are located in Canada, as follows:



-	New Polaris property in British
Columbia,

-	Tay-LP property in the Yukon,

-	Windfall Hills properties,
British Columbia, and

-	Eskay Creek property in British
Columbia,



of which the New Polaris property
is the material property of the Registrant.



In its consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Registrant has capitalized costs, net of recoveries and write-downs, of approximately
$13.5 million in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development on its currently held properties as at December 31,
2012 and are summarized as follows for the past two fiscal years:

Developments over the Last
Three Financial Years





Over the course of the past three
years ended December 31, 2012 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.





Relief Canyon project



In December 2010, Canarc was the
accepted bidder to acquire an open pit, heap leach gold mine through a bankruptcy court auction held in Reno, Nevada. Canarc agreed
to purchase the Relief Canyon gold mine assets from Firstgold Corporation (“Firstgold”) for $11 million, subject to
a due diligence period which expired on February 4, 2011. As a condition of its winning bid, Canarc paid a non-refundable deposit
of $300,000 in December 2010 to Firstgold in trust pending Canarc’s due diligence, and was also obligated to pay $20,000
bi-weekly to Firstgold for its operating expenses during the due diligence period. If Canarc elected not to proceed with the purchase
of the Relief Canyon gold mine assets, Canarc was obligated to pay an additional $300,000 to Firstgold but in return, Firstgold
would transfer ownership of its fully built, permitted and operating commercial assay laboratory located near the Relief Canyon
mine-site to Canarc.



To finance the acquisition, Canarc
arranged a CAD$12 million bridge loan with Effisolar Energy Corporation (“Effisolar”), subject to Effisolar’s
due diligence, execution of definitive loan documents and regulatory and exchange approvals. The bridge loan was to close on or
before February 3, 2011, mature in one year, bear simple annual interest rate of 12%, and secured by a first charge on the Relief
Canyon gold mine assets. If Canarc elected not to proceed with the purchase of the Relief Canyon gold mine assets whereby the acquisition
of the commercial assay laboratory would then need to be financed, Canarc arranged a separate CAD$300,000 convertible loan with
Effisolar, subject to Effisolar’s due diligence, execution of definitive loan documents and regulatory and exchange approvals.
At Canarc’s election, the convertible loan was to close on or before February 3, 2011, mature in one month, bear no interest
and automatically convert into common shares of Canarc based on the 10 day average closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange
(“TSX”).

25Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









In January 2011, after conducting
due diligence, both Canarc and Effisolar decided not to proceed with the Relief Canyon project. In early February 2011, Canarc
paid an additional $300,000 to Firstgold whereby ownership of the commercial assay laboratory was transferred to Canarc. Canarc
issued a convertible debenture for CAD$300,000 to Effisolar for the interest-free loan from Effisolar, which was then converted
into 1,282,051 common shares of Canarc on March 2, 2011.



In May 2011, Canarc entered into an agreement
for sale of the assay laboratory for $600,000 plus recovery of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Canarc.





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 will 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 are as follows:



| | (1) | Canarc will be the manager of the SMAP, and will identify and evaluate
each Acquisition Opportunity including the timing and capital required;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (2) | Once Canarc and Canford agree to pursue a particular Acquisition
Opportunity, Canarc will complete the due diligence on behalf of the SMAP and Canford will then arrange 100% of the debt financing
required by the SMAP;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (3) | Upon closing each Acquisition Opportunity, Canford will own a 51%
interest and Canarc will own a 49% interest therein until the debt financing is repaid in full;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (4) | Upon repayment of the debt financing, Canarc will then own a 51%
interest and Canford will own a 49% interest therein;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (5) | Canford will 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 will 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 will be binding upon both
Canarc and Canford until it is replaced by a more formal Strategic Joint Venture Partnership Agreement. Canarc and Canford agree
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 had not yet been able to commit or
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. The Company continues to pursue alternative sources of financing for the New Polaris
project and for the acquisition of operating gold mines.





Others

26Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









On December 13, 2010, the Company
closed a private placement for 8.5 million units at CAD$0.15 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$1,275,000. Each unit was comprised
of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant; each whole share purchase warrant is exercisable to acquire one common
share at CAD$0.22 until June 13, 2012, which expired unexercised.



In April 2011, the Company entered
into two property option agreements to purchase 100% interests in two adjacent gold properties located in British Columbia, collectively
known as the Windfall Hills property. The Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Atna and Dunn properties. These property option
agreements were amended in March 2012. Item 4.D provides further details.



In May 2011, the Company staked three
gold properties, Devils’ Thumb property, totalling 17,175 hectares northeast of its Windfall Hills properties in central
British Columbia, which was written off in September 2012.



On September 28, 2012, the Company
closed a brokered private placement for 11.3 million units at a price of CAD$0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of CAD$1.13 million,
with each unit comprised of one common share and one transferrable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable
for a period of 36 months at a price of CAD$0.15 per share during the initial period of 24 months until September 28, 2014, and
at CAD$0.20 per share for the remaining 12 months until September 28, 2015. The warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry.
Canford is the sole subscriber in the private placement and became an insider of the Company by virtue of holding more than 10%
of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company at that time. As at April 5, 2013, Canford owned 11,900,000 common shares
of the Company representing a 10.55% interest in the Company. Item 5.B provides further details.



The Company arranged demand loans
of $200,380 from certain directors and an officer of the Company in March 2012. Further demand loans from certain directors for
$98,930 were received in May 2012 and $59,130 in July 2012. These loans were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12%
compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually. In October 2012, the Company repaid $212,550 in principal amounts of notes
payable. Then in December 2012, the Company repaid a total of $269,500 in loan principal, bonus and interest in full settlement
of all outstanding demand loans including demand loans of $53,490 which were received in May 2009 which bore an interest rate of
12% and a loan bonus of 12%.



In December 2012 and January 2013,
the Company closed a non-brokered private placement in three tranches totalling 6.1 million units at a price of CAD$0.11 per unit
for gross proceeds of CAD$671,000 with each unit comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Item 5.B
provides further details.

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 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 a property option agreement 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.



28Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 did increase from $1,225 in 2010 to $1,572 in 2011 and then to $1,669 in 2012 and closing at $1,568 on April 5,
2013. Gold prices did not achieve new highs in 2012 relative to 2011. In November 2010, prices reached an annual high of $1,421
and then $1,895 in September 2011 but only achieved an annual high of $1,792 in October 2012. The high for 2013 was on January
2, 2013 at $1,694 which is lower than the annual highs in 2012 and 2011.



During the same period from January
2010 to December 2012, the closing market price for the Registrant’s shares decreased from CAD$0.15 to CAD$0.13 – a
decrease of 13%, and the high of CAD$0.30 was in January 2011. On April 5, 2013, the closing market share price was CAD$0.12. 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 the Registrant’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.

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.



32Canarc 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.

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.



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

35Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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.



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.

36Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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

37Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 plans 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 is related to drilling and the balance is related to permitting and engineering.
The proposed work program to complete a feasibility study is 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 will be the manager of the project during the option period. Pursuant to an agreement to form a SMAP dated February 1, 2013,
Canarc shall grant Canford a further 60-day period of exclusivity on the date on which Canarc closes 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. Canarc continues to pursue alternative sources of financing and joint venture partner for the New Polaris
project.





Other Mineral Projects





The following projects are considered
not material by the Registrant and are not compliant with NI 43-101 unless otherwise stated. There is currently no ongoing or proposed

Tay-LP Property, Yukon, Canada



38Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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 can earn 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 can earn
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 does not proceed with the second stage, then a joint venture would be formed.
Canarc shall 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 is subject to net smelter returns
(“NSR”) totalling 3% which can 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 is put into commercial production, Canarc
shall 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 shall be deducted from NSR obligations. The NSR of 3% shall be subject to maximum total payments based on one million
payable ounces of gold being mined by commercial production but will be reduced to 500,000 payable ounces of gold if the NSR is
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.

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 25th and comprised 1868 metres of diamond drilling. Personnel included:
one of the authors, James Moors, P.Geo., V.P. Exploration, Canarc Resource Corp.; 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.

40Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









Reserves or resources have not
been calculated for the property.



The primary author was part of
the 2003 Prospecting and Geochemical surveying program on the Tay-LP claims (Schmidt, U., 2004).



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.

41Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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.

In 2010, Cap-Ex completed
a 470 kilometer airborne geophysical survey at Tay-LP which identified several new EM conductors and magnetic anomalies within
prospective geological settings. In March 2011, Cap-Ex terminated its property option agreement with Canarc.



Canarc
completed the permitting process for exploration work at the Tay-LP property in 2012, and the new anomalies will require ground
follow up and test new targets in 2013 prior to drilling, subject to financing.





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. Canarc
can acquire a 100% interest in the Atna 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. Option
payments of $75,000 were paid for the year ended December 31, 2012.



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 3 monthly installments of CAD$8,333
over a three month period beginning April 21, 2012 which were paid.





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. Results of this work along with preliminary
exploration work over the remainder of the claims will help define targets for drilling in 2013, subject to financing.

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.





Sara Kreek Property, Suriname



On April 15, 2006, Canarc entered
into a Settlement and Termination Agreement with Suriname Wylap Development N.V. to transfer Canarc’s interest in Sara Kreek

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS





Management’s discussion
and analysis in this Item 5 are intended to provide the reader with a review of factors that affected the Registrant’s performance
during the years presented and factors reasonably expected to impact on future operations and results. The following discussion
of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of the Registrant for the three fiscal years
ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant
and related notes included therein.



The Registrant’s consolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. IFRS 1 has been applied with an adoption date
of January 1, 2011 and a transition date of January 1, 2010, and all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars unless
otherwise indicated.





5.A Operating Results





In accordance with 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 expenditures, net of any recoveries and write-downs.



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 and for settlement of expenditures.



The Registrant is not aware of
any seasonality in the business that has a material effect upon its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The
Registrant is not aware of any changes in the results of its operations that are other than those normally encountered in its ongoing
business.





Fiscal Year 2012– Year ended December 31, 2012 compared with December 31, 2011



45Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







Canarc incurred a net loss of
$1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 which is comparable to the net loss of $1.2 million in fiscal 2011, although
operating losses were higher in the current year and net losses were impacted by different functional expense items.



Canarc has no sources of operating
revenues. 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.



Corporate development expenses
were negligible in first three quarters of 2012 as cash constraints curtailed such efforts. The closing of the equity financing
in September 2012 allowed Canarc to actively pursue due diligence efforts in a gold operating project in the fourth quarter, including
site visits to the prospective project and to the New Polaris project with Canford. However these expenses were higher in 2011
which were attributable to the Relief Canyon project and the acquisition of an assay laboratory which was later disposed for full
recovery of all out-of-pocket expenses. Corporate development activities in 2011 were successful in the acquisition of option interests
in the Windfall Hills properties and the staking of additional properties nearby, as Canarc expanded its portfolio of strategic
exploration projects in Canada during 2011.



Remuneration for employees was
higher in 2012 as Canarc continued to evaluate gold projects for acquisition purposes and to seek possible partners for the New
Polaris project. Exploration activities were lower in 2012 than in 2011 resulting in lower employee allocations to Canarc’s
various mineral exploration projects or conversely employee remuneration in operations would be higher. Increases in executive
management compensation were in effect in mid-2011 to ensure key personnel retention which were determined to be competitive with
comparable companies involved in mineral exploration in terms of relative size and status of projects.



General and administrative expenses
were marginally lower in 2012 than 2011 as Canarc reduced discretionary expenses due to limited cash for most of 2012. In the first
quarter of fiscal 2011, legal fees were incurred in Canarc’s bid for the Relief Canyon project, its acquisition of the assay
laboratory in February 2011 including all title and permitting issues and to its subsequent sale in May 2011, and due to the convertible
debenture with Effisolar in February 2011 which was converted into common shares in March 2011. Certain of these costs in the first
quarter of 2011 were later recovered when Canarc disposed of the assay laboratory in May 2011. As included in general and administrative
expenses, legal services rendered were lower in 2012 as Canarc reduced in level of corporate activity which would necessitate legal
services while regulatory expenses were higher from filing fees.



Shareholder relations activities
increased in 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 continue 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. 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.

Share-based payments were lower
in 2012 than in 2011, mainly due to 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. These stock options 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, 2012. No probable likelihood of a material
transaction was attributed to these June 2012 stock option grants, and therefore no share-based payments were recognized. Also
forfeiture of unvested stock options in June 2012 was from the retirement of a director which further reduced share-based payments.



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.



Interest expense was higher in
2012 than in 2011 from the compounding effects of interest accruals for existing and additional demand loans and for the estimated
flow through indemnity obligation from ineligible Canadian exploration expenditures for flow-through purposes. During year ended
December 31, 2012, the total principal of demand loans increased by $358,000 thereby increasing interest expense for the current
year as the demand loans bore the same interest rate. All demand loans were settled in full in the fourth quarter of 2012.



Due diligence costs of $60,000
in 2011 were incurred for Canarc’s $20,000 bi-weekly obligation to Firstgold during the due diligence period for the Relief
Canyon project.



Canarc wrote-off its interest
in the Devil’s Thumb property in the third quarter of 2012.



The deferred income tax recovery
is a provision for the difference between the accounting basis and tax basis of assets and tax pools, and for the recognition at
the date of actual renunciation, by a reduction in the amount included in share capital for the flow-through shares for the deferred
income taxes related to the deductions foregone by Canarc. In 2009, Canarc raised flow-through equity financing from a private
placement for approximately CAD$480,000 of which CAD$475,239 were renounced on February 24, 2010. On February 22, 2011, Canarc
renounced CAD$4,761 in exploration expenditures for flow-through purposes, resulting in a deferred income tax recovery of $1,200.

Fiscal Year 2011–
Year ended December 31, 2011 compared with December 31, 2010



Canarc incurred a net loss of
$1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 which is lower than the net loss of $1.4 million in fiscal 2010. Operating losses
for each fiscal year were comparable, reflecting the continued activities of Canarc in seeking an appropriate joint venture partner
for the New Polaris property and in pursuing new projects of merit, as gold prices reached new highs in 2011. Such efforts culminated
in the accepted bid for the Relief Canyon project in early December 2010 which resulted in Canarc’s acquisition of an assay
laboratory and was then subsequently sold for full recovery of all out-of-pocket expenses.

48Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







Corporate development activities
were also successful in the acquisition of option interests in the Windfall Hills properties and the staking of additional properties
nearby, as Canarc expanded its portfolio of strategic exploration projects in Canada in 2011.



Corporate development expenses
in 2011 were higher primarily in relation to the accepted bid for the Relief Canyon project.



Remuneration for employees was
higher in 2011 as Canarc continued to evaluate gold projects for acquisition purposes and to seek possible partners for the New
Polaris project. Efforts in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were also focused on an updated NI 43-101 technical report for the
New Polaris gold project, which supported the project’s robust economics in the preliminary economic assessment. Higher employee
expenses were also attributed to staffing activities for conversion in accounting standards from Canadian GAAP to IFRS, the Relief
Canyon bid, and the acquisition and subsequent disposition of the commercial assay laboratory.



Effective January 1, 2011, Canarc
determined that its functional currency has changed from the United States dollar to the Canadian dollar but continues to maintain
its presentation currency in the United States dollar. Canarc recognizes foreign gains and losses on translation to the presentation
currency as an equity item which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In 2010, such translation gains and losses
were recognized in operations.



General and administrative expenses
were comparable for both fiscals 2011 and 2010. In 2011 legal fees were incurred in Canarc’s bid for the Relief Canyon project,
its acquisition of the assay laboratory in February 2011 including all title and permitting issues and to its subsequent sale in
May 2011, and due to the convertible debenture with Effisolar in February 2011 which was converted into common shares in March
2011.



Shareholder relations activities
increased in 2011 so as to promote greater awareness of the profile of Canarc and its portfolio of projects, especially the accepted
bid for the Relief Canyon project, 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 property option agreements and staking of additional
mineral property interests in British Columbia.



Share-based payments were higher
in 2011 due to the net effects of the input parameters for the stock option pricing model including the vesting provisions, stock
volatility, forfeiture rates, risk free interest rates, and expected life. Although more stock options were granted in 2010 than
in 2011, the fair values of the stock options granted in 2011 were higher than those granted in 2010.



In April and August 2010, Canarc
disposed all of its shareholdings in Caza, a company sharing one common director, which are available-for-sale financial assets
and were recorded at cost because such shares did not have a quoted market price at that time.

49Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









In 2011, Canarc wrote down good
and services tax recoveries by $25,000 as collectability of the recoveries was uncertain.



Due diligence costs of $60,000
in 2011 were incurred for Canarc’s $20,000 bi-weekly obligation to Firstgold during the due diligence period for the Relief
Canyon project.



Canarc continues to accrue interests
on its demand loans which bore interest rates that increased from 9% per annum to 12% per annum effective September 1, 2010, and
interests on its estimated flow through indemnity obligation from ineligible Canadian exploration expenditures for flow though
purposes.



The flow through financing item
in 2010 is for the reduction in the estimated indemnity obligation for ineligible exploration expenditures. In August 2011, Canarc
paid indemnifications of CAD$37,883 including interests.



In 2010, derivative liabilities
were recognized for warrants which have exercise prices stated in Canadian dollars whereas Canarc’s functional currency was
in U.S. dollars, resulting in a variable amount of cash in terms of its functional currency. Any reduction of the fair values of
its derivative liability attributable to unexpired warrants would be recognized as unrealized gains. Effective January 1, 2011,
Canarc’s functional currency changed from the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar whereby there were no longer currency differences
between Canarc’s exercise prices of its warrants and its functional currency, and thus would not recognize any derivatives
for its warrants.



The deferred income tax recovery
is a provision for the difference between the accounting basis and tax basis of assets and tax pools, and for the recognition at
the date of actual renunciation, by a reduction in the amount included in share capital for the flow-through shares for the deferred
income taxes related to the deductions foregone by Canarc. In 2009, Canarc raised flow-through equity financing from a private
placement for approximately CAD$480,000 of which CAD$475,239 were renounced on February 24, 2010. On February 22, 2011, Canarc
renounced CAD$4,761 in exploration expenditures for flow-through purposes, resulting in a deferred income tax expense of $1,200.



Canarc also recognized an unrealized
gain of $71,000 in fiscal 2011 for its available-for-sale financial assets which were received for its optioned mineral property
interest in Tay-LP with Cap-Ex.



Canarc has no sources of operating
revenues.

As at December 31, 2011, Canarc

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.





Critical Accounting Policies



51Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 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



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.

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 fiscal 2011, Canarc recognized
an unrealized gain of $71,000 from its available-for-sale financial assets which were all disposed in January and February 2012
for proceeds of approximately CAD$92,400.



In February 2011, Canarc issued
a convertible debenture for CAD$300,000 to Effisolar for the interest free loan from Effisolar, which was then converted into 1,282,051
common shares of Canarc on March 2, 2011. The funds were then used to acquire the assay laboratory for a total of $600,000 of which
$300,000 were previously advanced in December 2010.



In May 2011, Canarc entered into
an agreement for the sale of assay laboratory for $600,000 plus recovery of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Canarc and such
funds were received in June 2011.

Canarc received $50,000 in royalties
from the Sara Kreek project in fiscal 2011, which is the final year of such royalties from the project.



During fiscal 2011, stock options
for 299,000 common shares were exercised for proceeds of CAD$32,125 and warrants for 1,313,650 common shares for CAD$198,488, all
of which contributed to Canarc’s working capital needs during the year.



In May 2009, Canarc received CAD$62,030
in demand loans from certain directors and an officer of Canarc. The loans are repayable on demand and bear an interest rate of
9% per annum which was increased to 12% effective September 1, 2010, and were previously secured by Canarc’s shareholdings
in Caza at CAD$0.25 per share of Caza which has been replaced by a loan bonus of 12% payable upon repayment effective September
1, 2010. As at December 31, 2011, Canarc accrued CAD$19,800 in interests and CAD$7,400 in loan bonuses.



The working capital deficiency
of $577,000 at December 31, 2011 includes the notes payable with accrued interests and accrued loan bonus totalling $88,000 due
to certain directors and an officer of Canarc and flow-through indemnities of $195,000. In August 2011, Canarc did pay indemnifications
of CAD$37,883 including interests for ineligible exploration expenditures for flow through purposes.



In January and February 2012,
Canarc disposed its interest in Cap-Ex shares which provided proceeds of CAD$92,400 for working capital.



Canarc arranged demand loans of
$200,380 from certain directors and an officer of Canarc in March 2012. Further demand loans from certain directors for $98,930
were received in May 2012 and $59,130 in July 2012. These loans were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate of 12% compounded
monthly with interest payable semi-annually. In October 2012, Canarc repaid $212,550 in principal amounts of notes payable. Then
in December 2012, Canarc repaid a total of $269,500 in loan principal, bonus and interest in full settlement of all outstanding
demand loans.



On September 28, 2012, Canarc
closed a brokered private placement with Canaccord acting as the agent for 11.3 million units at a price of CAD$0.10 per unit for
gross proceeds of CAD$1.13 million, with each unit comprised of one common share and one transferrable common share purchase warrant.
Each whole warrant is exercisable for a period of 36 months at a price of CAD$0.15 per share during the initial period of 24 months
until September 28, 2014, and at CAD$0.20 per share for the remaining 12 months until September 28, 2015. The warrants are subject
to an accelerated expiry whereby if after January 29, 2013, the volume weighted average trading price as traded on the TSX equals
or exceeds CAD$0.30 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, Canarc will have the right, within five business days,
to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving not fewer than 30 days written notice to the warrant holder whereby the
warrants shall expire 30 days after such date of the notice. Agent’s fees are comprised of a cash commission of CAD$90,400
plus 904,000 agent’s warrants with the identical terms as the underlying warrants in the unit private placement and
a corporate finance fee of CAD$37,500. Canford is the sole subscriber in the private placement and had become an insider of Canarc
by virtue of holding more than 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Canarc at that time. As at April 5, 2013, Canford
owns 11,900,000 common shares of Canarc representing a 10.55% interest in Canarc.

In December 2012 and January 2013,
Canarc closed a non-brokered private placement in three tranches totalling 6.1 million units at a price of CAD$0.11 per unit for
gross proceeds of CAD$671,000 with each unit comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The first tranche
closed on December 19, 2012 for 4.5 million units, and the second tranche on January 11, 2013 for 600,000 units, and the final
tranche on January 18, 2013 for 1 million units. Each whole warrant is exercisable for a period of 36 months at a price of CAD$0.15

of each tranche of the private placement, the volume weighted average trading price as traded on the TSX equals or exceeds CAD$0.30
per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, Canarc will have the right, within five business days, to accelerate the
expiry date of the warrants by giving not fewer than 30 days written notice to the warrant holder whereby the warrants shall expire
30 days after such date of the notice. Canford, through its affiliated company Gold Barn Capital Corp., was the sole subscriber
for 600,000 units in the second tranche of the private placement.



For the year ended December 31,

| | (1) | Exploration commitments for the Tay-LP property are adjusted for management
fees of 5% and 10% and exploration expenditures incurred by Cap-Ex.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





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





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, 2012.



56Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.



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



57Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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, 2012, 2011 and 2010.





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, 2012:

These amounts may be reduced in

to proceed.





5.G Safe Harbor



This

At the discretion of the directors,
certain option grants provide the holder with 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. For the 2012
fiscal year, no share appreciation rights for common shares were exercised by stock option holders who were directors or officers
of the Registrant at the time of exercise.





Pension Plan



The Registrant does not have any
pension plan arrangements in place.





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 Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Canarc, receives a cash compensation as consideration for his duties as
an operating officer of Canarc as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table above.



At
a Board of Directors’ meeting held on June 17, 2004, it was resolved that each director shall earn a remuneration of CAD$2,000
per quarter as compensation in his capacity as a director effective January 1, 2004.



During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, Canarc granted stock options to directors, including directors who are senior officers,
for up to 925,000 common shares. Stock options for up to 300,000 common shares have an exercise price of CAD$0.10 and an expiry
date of March 23, 2013 and are subject tovesting provision in which 25% of the stock options vest on grant date and 25%
vest every three months thereafter. Stock options for up to 625,000 common shares have an

68Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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, 2012 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 employees at all levels 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.



The
Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer prepares recommendations for 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, Vice-President of Exploration, Vice-President of
Investor Relations, and the Chief Financial Officer, are then submitted for approval by the Board.



Bonus



69Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 2010, 2011 and 2012 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, 2012, Canarc granted stock options to senior officers, excluding senior officers who are directors,
for up to 775,000 common shares. Stock options for up to 100,000 common shares have an exercise price of CAD$0.10 and an expiry
date of March 23, 2013 and are subject tovesting provision in which 25% of the stock options vest on grant date and 25%
vest every three months thereafter. Stock options for up to 675,000 common shares have an
exercise price of CAD$0.145 and an expiry date of June 18, 2017 andwill 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, 2012.



Other
Compensation



Bradford J. Cooke, CEO, Chairman
and Director of the Registrant, is a party to an arrangement with Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour”) whereby Endeavour
is reimbursed for time spent by Mr. Cooke on a cost recovery basis. There are no specific terms relating to severance or notice
beyond what may be provided by statute or common law. During the financial year ended December 31, 2012, Canarc incurred CAD$35,290
(2011 - CAD$35,843 and 2010 – CAD$42,819) in salary paid or payable to Endeavour for services rendered by Mr. Cooke.



Directors’
and Officers’ Liability Insurance

70Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









In fiscal 2012, the Registrant
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 the Registrant. The policy has a CAD$1,000,000 limit of liability, retentions ranging
from CAD$nil to CAD$50,000, and a policy period from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2013 for a premium of CAD$19,000. The insurance
was renewed for a term from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2014 for a premium of CAD$16,500.

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



The Board currently consists of
four directors, of which three directors (Bruce Bried, Leonard Harris and William Price) are currently “independent”
in the context of the Policy. Bradford J. Cooke is not independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant.



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:

|              |                                      





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 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. William Price, 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.



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



73Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 Chairman and CEO is a member of 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.



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.

74Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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 22, 2013.



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



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 Board of Directors’ meeting held on June 17, 2004, it was resolved that each director shall earn a remuneration of CAD$2,000
per quarter as compensation in his capacity as a director effective January 1, 2004.



No remuneration is paid or payable
to Board committee members.



Other Board Committees



75Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







Aside from the Audit Committee
which has previously been established, the Board has established committees for Compensation and Nomination and Technical, Environmental,

Stock Option/Share Incentive Plan



81Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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 9,999,000 common shares are outstanding as at
December 31, 2012, 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
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)	no financial assistance
will be provided with respect to the exercise of stock options.



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 to18,888,434shares at that time.

The Registrant is not involved
and has not been involved in the recent past in any legal or arbitration proceedings which may have, or had in the recent past,
significant effects on the Registrant’s financial position or profitability, including governmental proceedings pending or
known to be contemplated other than as disclosed in the Company’s continuous disclosure documents, regulatory filings, Form
20-F and consolidated financial statements for the years then ended.





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.



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

89Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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.

10.B Notice of Articles and
Articles of Association





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.
| |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied:
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
Registrant, if authorized by the directors, may:

| | (i) | borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions
that they consider appropriate;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

95Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







| | (ii) | issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability
or obligation of the Registrant or any other person and at such discounts or premiums and on such other terms as they consider
appropriate;
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii) | guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any
other person; and
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iv) | mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in,
or give other security on, the whole or any part of the present and future assets and undertaking of the Registrant.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | Retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement:
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

| | (e) | Number of shares, if any, required for director’s qualification:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | A director is not required to hold any shares of the Registrant.
| |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



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.



6.	There are no limitations
on the rights to own securities.

96Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









7.
There are no provisions
in the Registrant’s Articles that would have an effect on delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control other than
that the Registrant may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office only by way of special resolution.
In addition, there is a Shareholders Right Plan as detailed in Item 10.B under Summary of Shareholders Rights Plan.



8.	There are no by-law provisions
governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.



9.	The law of British Columbia,
Canada, relating to Items 2-8 is not significantly different from the law of the United States.



10.	There are no conditions
in the Memorandum and Articles governing changes in capital that are more stringent than is required by law.



11.	The BCBCA permits an unlimited
authorized share capital, and shares may be created with or without par value.



12.	There are no residency
requirements for directors under the BCBCA.



13.	Special Resolutions of
shareholders can be passed by a minimum of a two-thirds majority at a meeting of shareholders.



14.	General meetings can be
held outside British Columbia if the location is approved by resolution of the directors.



15.	The BCBCA provides for
shareholder proposals to be made at general meetings. Generally, shareholders holding at least 1% of the voting shares may submit
proposals to the Registrant three months prior to the anniversary of the last annual general meeting of shareholders of the Registrant.



16.	Under the BCBCA, dividends
may be declared out of profits, capital or otherwise. As well, the BCBCA does not automatically make directors liable to the Registrant
for the declaration of dividends while the Registrant is insolvent.



97Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







17.
The BCBCA does not require
that a company’s offer to purchase or redeem its own shares be made on a pro-rata basis to all shareholders.



18.	The BCBCA permits a company
to indemnify its directors without court approval, and may also require reimbursement of expenses in certain cases for claims that
are successfully defended. Defense costs may also be advanced by a company in certain cases.



19.	All filings with the Registrar
under the BCBCA must be made electronically.



20.
Directors’ and shareholders’
meetings may be held by any form of communications medium permitted under the Articles, including internet chat lines and telephones.
In addition, directors’ consent resolutions may be passed in the manner provided under the Articles, including e-mail.



21.	A company may provide financial
assistance in connection with the purchase of its shares under the BCBCA.



22.	A company may, in limited
circumstances, amalgamate with a foreign company under the BCBCA, without the requirement to first continue the second company
into British Columbia. Amalgamations do not require court approval, although court approval may still be requested.



23.	The requisite majority to
pass a special resolution at a meeting of shareholders is a two-thirds majority.



24.
General meetings of shareholders

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.



General



99Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.



Permitted Bids

100Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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.



Adjustments



101Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.



Term



102Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F







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.



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.

104Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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).

105Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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



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.

106Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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.



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.

107Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











Disposition of Common Shares of the
Company



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.

108Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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.



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



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 Customs & 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.

110Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











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.



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.

111Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F









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



(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 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.

115Canarc 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, 2012 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 andbased on the criteria
set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. 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, 2012, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

116Canarc Resource Corp.Form 20-F











The
Registrant has insufficient resources to appropriately review increasingly complex areas of accounting within the accounting function
such as those in relation to new accounting standards, financial instruments and future income tax. The Registrant shall engage
the services of an external accounting firm, which is independent of the Registrant’s current auditors, to assist in applying
complex areas of accounting as needed. In December 2007, the Registrant has hired a consultant to design and implement internal
controls over financial reporting. Management concluded that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 fairly
present the Registrant’s financial position and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and that no material
misstatements were identified. Ongoing staff training and development in complex accounting issues and engagement of services of
external consultants with knowledge and skills in complex areas of accounting, when needed, shall contribute to reduce the risk
of a material weakness in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting and assist in providing reasonable assurance
that its internal control over financial reporting is effective.



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. 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 affect the Registrant’s internal
control over financial reporting.

when needed.

officers and employees to abide by the following code of ethics which have been communicated to them:

Consolidated Financial Statements
of



CANARC RESOURCE CORP.



(expressed in thousands of United
States dollars)





Years ended December 31, 2012
and 2011

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, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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.





130Canarc 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,
2012 and 2011, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 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.

1.	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 $1,206,000 (2011 - $1,209,000 and 2010 - $1,396,000), and has a deficit of $47.5
million as at December 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $46.8 million). Furthermore, the Company has working capital deficiency of
$589,000 as at December 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $577,000). 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. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. 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.

2.	Basis of Presentation(continued)

(d)	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).



| | (e) | Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------



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 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.

2.	Basis of Presentation(continued)

Significant areas requiring
the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of 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 the 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 significant doubt as to whether the Company could continue as
a going concern.

2.	Basis of Presentation(continued)

(f)	New accounting standards
and recent pronouncements:





The Company has reviewed
new and amended accounting pronouncements that have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective. All of the new and revised
standards described below may be early adopted.



(i)
IAS 27 Separate
Financial Statements (2011) (“IAS 27”)



This amended version of IAS
27 now only deals with the requirements for separate financial statements, which have been carried over largely unamended from
IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. Requirements for consolidated financial statements are now contained
in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.



The standard is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. If early adopted, it must be adopted together with IFRS 10,
IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (2011).



(ii)
IAS 28 Investments
in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) (“IAS 28”)



This standard supersedes IAS
28 Investments in Associates and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for
the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.



The standard defines “significant
influence” and provides guidance on how the equity method of accounting is to be applied (including exemptions from applying
the equity method in some cases). It also prescribes how investments in associates and joint ventures should be tested for impairment.



The standard is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. If early adopted, it must be adopted together with IFRS 10,
IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (2011).

(f)	New accounting standards
and recent pronouncements: (continued)



(iii)
IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments (2009) (“IFRS 9 (2009)”)



IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new
requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets, as follows:



| | · | Debt instruments meeting both a “business model” test
and a “cash flow characteristics” test are measured at amortized cost (the use of fair value is optional in some limited
circumstances).
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Investments in equity instruments can be designated as “fair
value through other comprehensive income” with only dividends being recognized in profit or loss.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | All other instruments (including all derivatives) are measured at
fair value with changes recognized in the profit or loss.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | The concept of “embedded derivatives” does not apply
to financial assets within the scope of the standard and the entire instrument must be classified and measured in accordance with
the above guidelines.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For annual periods beginning
or after January 1, 2015, the Company must adopt IFRS 9 (2010).



(iv)
IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments (2010) (“IFRS 9 (2010)”)



A revised version of IFRS
9 (2010) incorporates revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and carries over the
existing de-recognition requirements from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.



The revised financial liability
provisions maintain the existing amortized cost measurement basis for most liabilities. New requirements apply where an entity
chooses to measure a liability at fair value through profit or loss – in these cases, the portion of the change in fair value
related to changes in the entity's own credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss.

The standard applies to annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. This standard supersedes IFRS 9 (2009).

(v)
IFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”)





The standard requires a parent
to present consolidated financial statements as those of a single economic entity, replacing the requirements previously contained
in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.



The standard identifies the
principles of control, determines how to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee,
and sets out the principles for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.



The standard introduces a
single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee (i.e., whether an entity
is controlled through voting rights of investors or through other contractual arrangements as is common in “special purpose
entities”). Under IFRS 10, control is based on whether an investor has power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the
returns.



The standard is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. If early adopted, it must be adopted together with IFRS 11,
IFRS 12, IAS 27 (2011) and IAS 28 (2011).



(vi)
IFRS 11 Joint
Arrangements (“IFRS 11”)



This standard replaces IAS
31 Interests in Joint Ventures, and requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in
which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and then account for those rights and obligations in accordance with
that type of joint arrangement.



Joint arrangements are either
joint operations or joint ventures:

| | · | A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties
that have joint control of the arrangement (joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venturer
applies the equity method of accounting for its investment in a joint venture in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates
and Joint Ventures (2011). Unlike IAS 31, the use of “proportionate consolidation” to account for joint ventures
is not permitted.

(vii)
IFRS 12 Disclosure
of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”)



The standard requires the
extensive disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated
with, interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash
flows.



In high-level terms, the required
disclosures are grouped into the following broad categories:



| | · | Significant judgments and assumptions - such as how control,
joint control, significant influence has been determined.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Interests in subsidiaries - including details of the structure
of the group, risks associated with structured entities, changes in control, and so on.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Interests in joint arrangements and associates - the nature,
extent and financial effects of interests in joint arrangements and associates (including names, details and summarized financial
information).
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Interests in unconsolidated structured entities - information
to allow an understanding of the nature and extent of interests in unconsolidated structured entities and to evaluate the nature
of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in unconsolidated structured entities.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



IFRS 12 lists specific examples
and additional disclosures which further expand upon each of these disclosure objectives, and includes other guidance on the extensive
disclosures required.



The standard is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. If early adopted, it must be adopted together with IFRS 10,
IFRS 11, IAS 27 (2011) and IAS 28 (2011).



(viii)
IFRS 13 Fair
Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”)



The standard replaces the
guidance on fair value measurement in existing IFRS accounting literature with a single standard.



This IFRS defines fair value,
provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. However, IFRS 13 does
not change the requirements regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value.

(viii)
IFRS 13 Fair
Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) (continued)



IFRS 13 applies when another
IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value
less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements). With some exceptions, the standard requires entities
to classify these measurements into a “fair value hierarchy” based on the nature of the inputs:



| | · | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------



Entities are required to make
various disclosures depending upon the nature of the fair value measurement (e.g., whether it is recognized in the financial statements
or merely disclosed) and the level in which it is classified.



The standard is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.



| | (ix) | Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 7:

| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Amends the disclosure requirements
in IFRS 7: Financial Instrument:Disclosures to require information about all recognized financial instruments that are
set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 Financial Instruments:Presentation.



The amendments also require
disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and similar
agreements even if they are not set off under IAS 32.



The amendment is applicable
to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those periods.

·the application of simultaneous realization and settlement

·the offsetting of collateral amounts

·the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements.

3.	Significant Accounting
Policies



The accounting policies
set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.



(a)	Basis of consolidation:



These consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its significant subsidiaries including New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd. (100%). All
significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.



| | (b) | Financial instruments:
| | --- | ----------------------



(i)	Financial assets:



The Company classifies its
financial assets in the following categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, held-to-maturity
(“HTM”) and available-for-sale (“AFS”). The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial
assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at recognition.



Financial
assets at FVTPL



Financial assets at FVTPL
are initially recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents are
included in this category of financial assets.



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.



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 the statement of comprehensive loss. The Company does not have any assets classified as HTM investments.

Policies (continued)



| | (b) | Financial instruments: (continued)
| | --- | ----------------------------------



(i)	Financial
assets: (continued)



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 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 are included
in profit and loss.



(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, note
payables, other payables, advances from non-controlling interest, deferred credits, and loans.



Derivative
financial liabilities



Derivative financial liabilities
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 and loss. Derivative financial
liabilities include warrants issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

3.	Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)



| | (b) | Financial instruments: (continued)
| | --- | ----------------------------------



(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.



(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.

Accounting Policies (continued)



(c)	Mineral
property interests: (continued)



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.

3.	Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)



| | (h) | Share-based payments:
| | --- | ---------------------



The Company has a stock
option plan that is described in Note 13(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 option holders 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 options. The fair value
of the underlying stock option, which is cancelled on the exercise of the share appreciation rights, is transferred from the related
reserve for share-based payments to share capital. The difference between the quoted market price, on the date the share appreciation
right is exercised, of the shares issued and the fair value of the stock option is recorded as share capital and charged to profit
or loss.



| | (i) | Environmental rehabilitation:
| | --- | -----------------------------



TheCompany recognizes liabilities
forstatutory, contractual,constructive orlegal obligationsassociated with the retirement
of mineral property interests andequipment,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
workis capitalized
to mining
assets along witha corresponding increase in the rehabilitation
provision in
the period incurred.
Discount
rates using a pre-taxrate that reflect the time
value of money are used to calculatethe net present value. The rehabilitation asset is
depreciated on the same basis
as mining
assets.



TheCompany’s estimates of reclamation
costs could change asa result of changes
in regulatory requirements,discount rates and assumptions regarding
the amount and timing of thefuture expenditures.
These changes are recorded
directly to mining
assets with acorresponding
entry to the rehabilitation
provision.
The Company’s estimates are reviewed
annuallyfor changes
in regulatory requirements,
discount rates, effectsofinflation
and changes in estimates.



Changesin the net present value,
excluding changes in
the Company’s estimates of reclamation
costs, are charged to profit and loss
forthe period.





Thenet present value of restoration
costs arising from
subsequent site damage that is
incurred on an ongoing basis
during production are charged to profit
and loss in the periodincurred.



Thecosts of rehabilitation
projects thatwere included
in the rehabilitation
provision
are recordedagainst the provision
asincurred.
The cost of ongoing current programs to
prevent and controlpollutionis charged against
profit andloss
as incurred.

3.	Significant Accounting
Policies (continued)



(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 sharesoutstanding
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 common share presented is the
same as basic loss per common 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
legalor constructive obligation
existsas a result
ofpast events where
itis
probable
that an outflow ofresources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, and areliable estimate of the amount
of the obligation can be made.



Theamount recognized as a provisionis the best estimate of the consideration
required to settle the present obligation
atthe statement of financial
positiondate, takinginto
account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation.Where a provision ismeasured using the cash flows estimated
to settle the present obligation,
its carrying amount is
thepresent value of those cash flows.
When some or allof the economic
benefits required
to settle a provision
are expected to be recovered from a third
party,the receivable
is recognized
as an assetif it isvirtuallycertain that reimbursement
willbe
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.





| | 4. | 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.

(tabular dollar amounts

| | 4. | Management of Capital (continued)
| | -- | ---------------------------------



The Company defines its
capital as 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, 2012.





| | 5. | Management of Financial Risk
| | -- | ----------------------------



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



The Company classifies derivative
liability for warrants as derivative financial liabilities and are measured at fair value. All gains and losses are included in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise.



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



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 and marketable securities are 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.

| | 5. | 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, goods and services
and harmonized sales 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. The Company will require significant additional funding to meet its short-term
liabilities, flow through obligations and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2013.



Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities are due in less than 90 days, and the notes payables, 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 financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.

| | 5. | Management of Financial Risk (continued)
| | -- | ----------------------------------------



(c)	Market risk: (continued)



(i)	Foreign currency
risk: (continued)



At December 31, 2012, 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:





|                                         |  |  |  |  |  |                          |        
|---------------------------------------- |  |  |  |  |  | ------------------------ | -------
|                                         |  |  |  |  |  | Held in Canadian dollars
|                                         |  |  |  |  |  |                          |        
|Cash                                     |  |  |  |  |  |                          | $ 73   
|Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |  |  |  |  |  | (512)                   
|                                         |  |  |  |  |  |                          |        
|Net assets (liabilities)                 |  |  |  |  |  |                          | $ (439)





Based upon the above net exposure
as at December 31, 2012 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 $43,900 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 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 notes payable are stated at a fixed interest rate.





| | (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 the Company’s investment in marketable securities is subject to market price
fluctuations.

On August 24, 2009, the Company
entered into a property option agreement with Ross River Minerals Inc. and Ross River Gold Ltd. (collectively, “Ross River”)
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 the first stage, the Company
can earn a 51% interest by paying CAD$150,000 in cash and spending CAD$900,000 on exploration on or before October 31, 2011. In
the second stage, the Company can earn an additional 49%, thereby totalling a 100% interest, by paying CAD$850,000 in cash or common
shares at the Company’s discretion and spending CAD$600,000 on exploration on or before October 31, 2012. If the Company
does not proceed with the second stage, then a joint venture would be formed. The Company shall pay to the optionors a gold bonus
equal to CAD$1 per ounce (“oz”) 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 is subject to a NSR totalling 3% which can be reduced to 1.5%
by payments totalling US$1.95 million. Commencing on or before October 31, 2009 and continuing on or before October 31 of each
subsequent year until the property is put into commercial production, the Company shall pay to the NSR holders an annual advance
NSR royalty payments totalling CAD$25,000 or that number of common shares of the Company and which shall be deducted from NSR obligations.
The NSR of 3% shall be subject to maximum total payments based on one million payable ounces of gold being mined by commercial
production but will be reduced to 500,000 payable ounces of gold if the NSR is reduced to 1.5%.



On September 3, 2011, the
Company 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, the Company
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$25,000
were paid in 2012 (2011 - CAD$75,000) for property option payments. In 2012, the Company paid CAD$25,000 in cash as the annual
advance NSR royalty for the Tay-LP property, whereas in 2011 the Company issued 215,580 common shares at a value of CAD$0.116 per

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. Option payments of $75,000 were paid for the year ended December 31, 2012.



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

(c)	Relief Canyon, United States:



In December 2010, the
Company was the accepted bidder to acquire an open pit, heap leach gold mine through a bankruptcy court auction held in Reno,
Nevada. The Company agreed to purchase the Relief Canyon gold mine assets from Firstgold Corporation
(“Firstgold”) for $11 million, subject to a due diligence period which expired on February 4, 2011. As a
condition of its winning bid, the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $300,000 in December 2010 to Firstgold in trust
pending the Company’s due diligence, and was also obligated to pay $20,000 bi-weekly to Firstgold for its operating
expenses during the due diligence period. If the Company elected not to proceed with the purchase of the Relief Canyon gold
mine assets, the Company was obligated to pay an additional $300,000 to Firstgold but in return, Firstgold would transfer
ownership of its fully built, permitted and operating commercial assay laboratory located near the Relief Canyon mine-site to
the Company.



To finance the acquisition,
the Company arranged a CAD$12 million bridge loan with Effisolar Energy Corporation (“Effisolar”), subject to Effisolar’s
due diligence, execution of definitive loan documents and regulatory and exchange approvals. The bridge loan was to close on or
before February 3, 2011, mature in one year, bore simple annual interest rate of 12%, and was to be secured by a first charge on
the Relief Canyon gold mine assets. If the Company elected not to proceed with the purchase of the Relief Canyon gold mine assets
whereby the acquisition of the commercial assay laboratory would then need to be financed, the Company arranged a separate CAD$300,000
convertible loan with Effisolar, subject to Effisolar’s due diligence, execution of definitive loan documents and regulatory
and exchange approvals. At the Company’s election, the convertible loan was to close on or before February 3, 2011, mature
in one month, bear no interest and automatically convert into common shares of the Company based on the 10-day average closing
price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”).



In January 2011, after conducting
due diligence, both the Company and Effisolar decided not to proceed with the Relief Canyon project. In early February 2011, the
Company paid an additional $300,000 to Firstgold whereby ownership of the commercial assay laboratory was transferred to the Company.
The Company issued a convertible debenture for CAD$300,000 to Effisolar for the interest-free loan from Effisolar, which was then
converted into 1,282,051 common shares of the Company on March 2, 2011.



In May 2011, the Company
disposed of the assay laboratory for $600,000 plus recovery of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company.

7.	Mineral Property Interests (continued)



(e)	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.



(f)	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.



(g)	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.

In May 2009, the Company
received $53,490 in demand loans from certain directors and an officer of the Company. The loans are repayable on demand and bore
an interest rate of 9% per annum which was increased to 12% effective September 1, 2010, and were previously secured by the Company’s
shareholdings in Caza Gold Corp. (“Caza”), a company with one common director, at CAD$0.25 per share of Caza which
has been replaced by a loan bonus of 12% payable upon repayment effective September 1, 2010.



The Company arranged demand
loans of $200,380 from certain directors and an officer of the Company in March 2012. Further demand loans from certain directors
for $98,930 were received in May 2012 and $59,130 in July 2012. These loans were repayable on demand and bore an interest rate
of 12% compounded monthly with interest payable semi-annually.



In October 2012, the Company
repaid $212,550 in principal amounts of notes payable. Then in December 2012, the Company repaid a total of $269,500 in loan principal,
bonus and interest in full settlement of all outstanding demand loans.

11.	Flow-through Obligation



Pursuant to an audit by
the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) which was completed in June 2010, CRA disallowed approximately CAD$1.01 million
in exploration expenditures incurred in 2007 as Canadian exploration expenditures (“CEE”) of which approximately CAD$795,000
was disqualified as CEE for flow-through purposes. At December 31, 2012, the Company accrued liabilities of approximately CAD$146,300
(December 31, 2011 - CAD$146,300) for estimated indemnities related to the disqualified CEE for flow-through purposes and CAD$62,100
(December 31, 2011 - CAD$51,700) in accrued interests related to the indemnities. Should the estimate change in the future, it
may affect future results of operations and cash flows. In 2011, the Company paid CAD$37,900 including interest for indemnities
relating to ineligible CEE for flow-through purposes.

All of the Company’s
outstanding share purchase warrants have exercise prices which are denominated in Canadian dollars.



Prior to January 1, 2011,
the Company’s functional currency was the U.S. dollar, which resulted in the warrants being considered a derivative. Accordingly,
the Company’s share purchase warrants were classified and accounted for as a derivative liability at FVTPL.



Effective January 1, 2011,
the Company’s functional currency changed from the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, the outstanding warrants
are no longer treated as a derivative liability, and the corresponding recovery of $1,082,000 has been recognized in deficit.



There is no derivative liability
for warrants as at December 31, 2012.

(f)	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.
