May 13, 2010 -- Vancouver, British Columbia:

Arcus Development Group Inc. (ADG: TSX-V) provides the following update on its Yukon and Mexican exploration projects:

Yukon Projects

Arcus will carry out a two staged exploration program on three of its Yukon projects in 2010. The projects are all located in the White Gold area, approximately 100 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon. The Green Gulch and the Touleary properties are immediately adjacent to the Underworld Resources White Gold property. The Dan Man property is immediately adjacent to the Kaminak Gold Coffee property. Maps showing the locations of the properties can be viewed on the Arcus website.

Stage one of the 2010 Yukon program will involve mechanical trenching to follow-up soil and rock geochemical anomalies identified during the 2009 program. Stage two of the program will consist of the drill testing of targets identified during the trenching program.

The trenching program will start as soon as local weather and ground conditions permit. The Green Gulch and the Touleary properties will be trenched at the same time to maximize the time available for stage two drilling. The Dan Man property will be trenched last as the ground frost conditions at Dan Man persist later into the year than at Green Gulch or Touleary.

"The trenching program will be carried out in a very cost effective manner", stated Ian Talbot, the Arcus President. "The equipment being used has been contracted from local placer miners so the mobilization costs will be minimal. Using locally available equipment also allows Arcus to work on the Green Gulch and the Touleary properties at the same time as we will have access to two excavators."

Mexican Projects

Arcus announces that it has terminated its option on the Chapalota property located in Sinaloa, Mexico. The property was held under option from Riverside Resources Inc. Arcus retains no interest in the property. "A fairly extensive sampling and mapping program over the Chapalota property did not produce any results that warranted additional work", reported Eric Tweedie, the Arcus Vice President of Exploration. "We believe that we have given the Chapalota property a thorough first pass and feel it is now time to focus our attention elsewhere".

A second Mexican gold project held by Arcus under option from Riverside Resources is La Ventosa, located in Oaxaca, Mexico. This option remains in good standing and requires Arcus to incur exploration expenditures of $250,000 by mid-September, 2010. Arcus is in the process of planning its 2010 program and expects to start work at La Ventosa later this spring.
