Arcus Development Group Inc. (TSX-V: ADG) announces that it has concluded an agreement with Riverside Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRI) under which Arcus has been granted an option to acquire a majority interest in La Ventosa property, located in Oaxaca, Mexico. La Ventosa property covers an area of 10,175 hectares and is 15 kilometres northeast from Juchitan City. La Ventosa property is located in a relatively unexplored area of southeastern Oaxaca.

Infrastructure in the area is very good and unlike much of Oaxaca which is mountainous and contains a large number of small villages, La Ventosa property is located on easily accessible, semi-arid flatlands near the Pacific coast. The property was acquired by Riverside through staking and is not subject to any underlying royalty or third-party interests.

Subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, Arcus can earn up to a 65% interest in the property under a staged option. To exercise an initial option and acquire a 51% interest in La Ventosa property, Arcus is required to pay Riverside $150,000 cash, issue 200,000 Arcus shares to Riverside and incur exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 prior to the third anniversary of the option agreement. Exploration expenditures in year one of the initial option include a firm commitment of $250,000.

After exercising the initial option, Arcus will have a second option to acquire an additional 14% interest in the property by incurring a further $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures within a two year period and by paying Riverside $300,000.

Ian Talbot, the President of Arcus stated, “We are very pleased to have concluded a second Mexican project agreement with Riverside. La Ventosa property is an excellent early stage exploration target in an area that has not been exposed to extensive modern exploration. Work at La Ventosa should be very cost effective and progress rapidly as the area is easily accessible and has excellent infrastructure. Our Mexican property portfolio, which now contains the Chapalota (April 14, 2008 new release) and La Ventosa properties, exposes Arcus to gold exploration projects in both Oaxaca and Sinaloa.”

Vancouver, BC – April 11, 2008:

Arcus Development Group Inc. (“Arcus”) and Riverside Resources Inc. (“Riverside”) announce that subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, Riverside has granted Arcus an option to acquire up to a 65% interest in the Chapalota gold prospect, located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico. The Chapalota property was acquired through staking and is wholly-owned by Riverside.

The Chapalota property covers an area of approximately 91 square kilometres and lies along the western edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental Volcanic Province. The property was staked by Riverside on the basis of geology, known gold anomalies and small scale historic gold production in the area. The shear hosted quartz-sericite alteration and deformed quartz veining at Chapalota is similar to that at the Herradura Gold Mine (Penoles/Newmont). The Chapalota property also lies immediately north of La Noria Mo-Cu-Ag project (Geoinformatics Exploration/Kennecott). Geologically similar intrusions and breccias to those at La Noria have been identified at the Chapalota property by Riverside.

To exercise an initial option and acquire a 51% interest in the Chapalota property, Arcus is required to pay Riverside $300,000 cash, issue Riverside 350,000 Arcus shares and incur exploration expenditures of $4,000,000 prior to the fourth anniversary of the option agreement. Exploration expenditures in year one of the initial option include a firm commitment of $350,000. After exercising the initial option, Arcus will have the right to acquire an additional 14% interest in the property by incurring a further $2,500,000 in exploration expenditures within a two year period and paying Riverside $500,000.

The Chapalota property is not subject to any underlying royalty interests and no finder’s fee was paid in connection with this transaction.

Eric Tweedie, the Arcus VP of Exploration stated, “The Chapalota property represents an excellent exploration opportunity for Arcus based on the geological setting and past gold production in the region. Riverside’s team has done a very good job of identifying high quality gold prospects in areas that have not already been extensively explored.”

John-Mark Staude, the Riverside President and CEO stated, "Riverside is delighted to partner with Arcus on the Chapalota project as this project lies in a major gold belt of western Mexico in a region with hundreds of years of precious metal production. We look forward to collaborating in exploration and unlocking the value to all stakeholders".

Vancouver, BC – January 31, 2008:

Ian Talbot, President and CEO of Arcus Development Group Inc. (“Arcus”) reports that Arcus has terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Williams property, located in north-central British Columbia. Arcus held an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Williams property under the terms of a 2006 property agreement with Rimfire Minerals Corporation.

Arcus completed exploration programs on the Williams property in 2006 and 2007. The $200,000 program in 2007 was funded as part of the Arcus IPO, completed in late October 2007. Arcus retains no interest in the Williams property following termination of the property option.

“In keeping with our business model and management strengths, Arcus will continue to pursue mineral exploration opportunities both domestically and abroad. However, in the short term the focus will likely be on projects outside of Canada”, stated Eric Tweedie, VP Exploration.

On behalf of Arcus Development Group Inc.
