Arcus Development Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ADG) is pleased to announce that ATAC
Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATC) has granted Arcus an option to acquire a 50%
interest in the Green Gulch, Touleary, Dan Man and Shamrock gold prospects,
collectively referred to as the Dawson Gold Project. The four claim blocks cover
an area of approximately 7,000 hectares and are located in west-central Yukon.


The Green Gulch claims are wholly surrounded by Underworld Resources Inc.'s
White Gold discovery property. The Touleary claims are immediately adjacent to
the western boundary of Underworld's Black Fox property.


The exploration target at the Dawson Gold Project is orogenic gold
mineralization within highly strained metamorphic rocks of the Yukon Tanana
Terrane. The project lies within a northwest trending belt of gold rich mineral
deposits that extends from the Mount Nansen and Freegold Mountain areas, through
the Sonora Gulch and Casino deposit areas and toward the Pogo Mine in Alaska.


The focus of the 2009 exploration program will be geological mapping,
prospecting and auger soil sampling of areas of geological interest. Follow-up
work will include trenching of anomalous areas to identify potential drill
targets. ATAC is mobilizing crews and by starting the program as early as
possible, the parties have maintained the option of drilling later in the 2009
field season.


Eric Tweedie, the Arcus VP of Exploration stated, "The Dawson Gold Project
represents an excellent exploration opportunity for Arcus based on the
geological setting and the proximity of the claim blocks to Underworld's White
Gold discovery. ATAC was able to assemble a prospective land package in the area
relatively early and cost effectively."


To exercise the option and acquire a 50% interest in the project, Arcus is
required to make aggregate payments to ATAC of $185,000 cash and 1,000,000 Arcus
shares and incur exploration expenditures of $3,500,000 prior to December 31,
2011. The option is subject to Arcus completing a financing of not less than
$1,000,000 prior to August 1, 2009. The terms of the financing have not been
finalized and will be announced at a later date.


Upon the completion of its financing, Arcus will reimburse ATAC for costs
incurred by ATAC as part of the 2009 program. All reimbursement costs and Arcus
expenditures following the closing of the financing will be applied against the
Arcus expenditure requirements.


If Arcus does not complete the financing by August 1, 2009, the option will
terminate and ATAC will complete the 2009 program on its own behalf. Prior to
completing its financing, Arcus will not have access to exploration results from
the 2009 work program at the Dawson Gold Project.
