Arcus Closes Private Placement and Property Acquisition

Arcus Development Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ADG) announces that it has closed its
previously announced non-brokered flow-through private placement. A total of
4,652,843 units were sold at a price of $0.13 per unit for gross proceeds of
$604,870. The units consisted of one flow-through common share and one warrant.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional flow-through common
share at a price of $0.20 at any time on or before August 12, 2010. All
securities issued as part of this private placement are subject to a hold period
until December 13, 2009.


Of the 4,652,843 units sold as part of the placement, 2,692,306 units were
purchased by the MineralFields Group through MineralFields 2009 Super Flow
Through Limited Partnerships 1 through 4. The MineralFields Group is based in
Toronto, Ontario and has business offices at 210 - 1110 Finch Avenue West. The
aggregate 2,692,306 shares purchased by the MineralFields Group as part of the
units represent 14.64% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Arcus.
Prior to this private placement, the MineralFields Group did not own any Arcus
shares.


Pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, shareholder approval is
required in advance of the completion of a private placement where the placement
will result in the creation of a person or group controlling greater than 20% of
the issued shares of a listed company (a Control Person). The Arcus shares that
may be issued following the exercise of warrants acquired by the MineralFields
Group under the placement could potentially result in the MineralFields Group
becoming a Control Person of Arcus. To prevent the MineralFields Group from
becoming a Control Person of Arcus without prior shareholder approval, the
MineralFields Group and Limited Market Dealer Inc. have provided the TSX Venture
Exchange and Arcus with an undertaking not to exercise any Arcus warrants if
doing so will result in the MineralFields Group becoming a Control Person of
Arcus.


Subject to the foregoing undertaking, the MineralFields Group has purchased
Arcus shares for investment purposes only. The MineralFields Group may increase
or decrease its investment in Arcus depending on market conditions and other
relevant factors.


Cash finder's fees of $21,300 and $1,280 were paid to Limited Market Dealer Inc.
and Canaccord Capital Corporation, respectively, related to the sale of a
portion of the placement. Limited Market Dealer Inc. and Canaccord Capital
Corporation were also granted 218,461 and 9,840 finder's options respectively.
If exercised, the finder's options entitle the finders to receive one Arcus
share at a price of $0.13 and one-half of a share purchase warrant. Each whole
finder's warrant entitles the finders to purchase one Arcus share at a price of
$0.20. The finder's options and the underlying finder's warrants may be
exercised at any time on or before August 12, 2010.


Arcus also announces that it has received TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of its
option to acquire a 50% interest in the Dawson Gold project. The Dawson Gold
project consists of four claim blocks covering an area of approximately 77
square kilometres adjacent to or near the Underworld Resources Inc. White Gold
and Black Fox properties in west-central Yukon (see June 10, 2009 news release).


The proceeds from the private placement and any proceeds from the exercise of
the warrants will be used to fund the Company's work programs on the Dawson Gold
project. Proceeds for the exercise of any of the finder's options and underlying
finder's warrants will be used as general working capital.


Work programs on the four claim blocks comprising the Dawson Gold project are
currently underway or will commence shortly. Preliminary results will be
announced as they are received by Arcus.


On behalf of Arcus Development Group Inc.
