Caerus Resource Corporation (TSX-V: CA) is pleased to announce June 1, 2010 it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire a 100% interest in the Buritica Gold
Project, located adjacent to the Aragua Mine currently in gold production and owned by Continental Gold Limited (TSX: CNL ) . The Buritica Gold Project consists
of a 326 hectare parcel located in the Buritica District, in the municipality of Buritica in western Antioquia, Colombia. The concession area is surrounded by ground
owned by Continental Gold and also adjoins a small claim owned by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE: AU ). Within the boundaries of the Buritica Gold Project is a block
also controlled by Continental Gold. Access is via the major highway between Medellin and the port city of Turbo on the Caribbean coast, which crosses the southern
part of the concession. The property lies about 63 airline kilometers (39 miles) northwest of Medellin, the capital of the department of Antioquia, and about 20
kilometers (12 miles) from the nearest large city, Santa Fe de Antioquia.
The Buritica District has been the site of gold mining since 500 A.D., according to archeological studies, and that production continues in the present
day: Continental Gold Limited operates an underground gold mine at Aragua in the district, and there are a number of artisanal mines in operation in addition.
The veins developed by the Continental Gold mine extend toward the Buritica Gold Project concession.

Pacho Mine, located in the Department of Quindio, Colombia, on the western flank of

Caerus Resource: Update on Plan of Arrangement with White Gold Corporation
Vancouver, BC January 12, 2009 - Caerus Resource Corporation provides an update on its previously announced proposed Plan of Arrangement with
White Gold Corporation involving the Company’s acquisition of a 100% interest in White Gold Corporation pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement dated September 28,
2009 (the “Agreement”).
The Company has today received from White Gold Corporation a purported notice of termination of the Agreement on the basis that the Plan of Arrangement was not
completed prior to December 31, 2009.
Proceeding towards the completion of the Plan of Arrangement was delayed beyond December 31, 2009 because the Company was waiting for confirmation that White Gold
Corporation is the registered and recorded owner of Oro Barracuda Ltda. under applicable Colombian laws. In connection with the transaction, White Gold Corporation
represented that it holds certain mineral claims and mineral title solicitations relating to gold exploration properties located in Colombia through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Oro
Barracuda Ltda., a Colombian corporation. Acquiring an interest in these assets was the Company’s main purpose for the transaction. Based on the Company’s due diligence, the
applicable registration process that would result in White Gold Corporation being validly recognized as the registered and recorded owner of Oro Barracuda Ltda. had not been
completed by White Gold Corporation as of late December 2009. In addition, White Gold Corporation did not take various steps as required under the Agreement to advance
the Plan of Arrangement.
The Company has invested significant time and money into completing the Plan of Arrangement and proceeded in good faith while waiting for White Gold Corporation to
comply with its obligations under the Agreement. In light of White Gold Corporation’s delivery of the notice of termination, the Company is now reviewing its legal position in
regards to this matter.
