Belo Sun Announces More Positive Drilling Results From 11 Holes at Its Volta Grande Gold Project in Para State Brazil
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/28/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from eleven additional drill holes from the Diamond drilling program at its Volta Grande Gold Project located in Para State, Brazil. The complete results and cross sections are presented below.
Results from the eleven drill holes being released include assay results from the first two drill holes of the recently initiated South Block drill program, as well as from five drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit and four drill holes from the Ouro Verde deposit. Multiple mineralized zones continue to be intercepted in both deposits.
Mark Eaton, President and CEO of Belo Sun states, "It is very gratifying to see significant intersections in our initial drilling from the South Block. The South Block is a characterized by a very extensive alteration system that extends for approximately seven kilometers and our geological team is very excited by the potential for a significant resource in this broad system."
Highlights:
-- Hole VVGD-070 (South Block, Pequi target Cross Section 3200 S)
intersected 3.80 meters grading 23.59 g/t Au. Hole VVGD-075 (Cross
Section 3300 S) had an intercept of 11.08 meters grading 1.87 g/t Au.
These drill holes were targeting Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical
anomalies. The gold mineralization in the South Block is associated with
quartz veins and disseminated sulfides (mainly Pyrite) in highly
Potassic, hydrothermally altered rocks.
-- Hole VVGD - 073 (Ouro Verde Cross Section 525 NW), intersected multiple
mineralized zones including: 12.06 meters grading
4.07 g/t Au including 6.00 meters grading 7.75 g/t Au and 21.13 meters
grading 3.22 g/t Au including 11.72 meters grading 5.12 g/t Au and 12.92
meters grading 2.84 g/t Au. All intercepts are at depths less than 100
meters vertically below surface.
-- Hole VVGD-065 (Grota Seca Cross Section 1925 W) intersected multiple
mineralized zones including: 39.30 meters grading 2.07 g/t Au, including
12.80 meters grading 3..24 g/t Au and 28.02 meters grading 2.06 g/t Au
and 7.80 meters grading 6.66 g/t Au. This mineralized zone is entirely
open at depth. Hole VVGD-072 (Grota Seca Cross Section 900 W) had an
intercept of 7.57 meters grading 13.37 g/t Au.
Belo Sun has now drilled four holes in the South Block (see figure 2). Two holes were drilled at the Pequi target and two holes were drilled 1.5 kilometres southeast at the Itata target (assays pending). Presently drilling continues 500 meters northeast of the Pequi target.
To date, Belo Sun has completed approximately 95 drill holes at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays are pending for 19 holes. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade and expand the existing mineral resource estimate and further results will be released as they are received.
The geological map of the Volta Grande Gold Project, with diagrams setting out the main deposit locations, is included below.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President, Exploration for Belo Sun, stated, "The results of the holes being released are mostly from sections on the boundaries of the deposits and they confirm the continuity of the mineralization remains open."

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by David Gower, P. Geo., an advisor to Belo Sun and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The exploration program is directly supervised by Mr.. Carlos Cravo P. Geo., Belo Sun's exploration manager. Belo Sun's procedures for handling drill core comprise initial description and logging into a Microsoft Access database. Mineralized, suspected mineralized or not intervals in the drill holes are described in detail and marked for sampling. Core is then cut in half with the right-hand portion of the core put into plastic sample bags and sealed. The left-hand portion is returned to the core box and is stored for future reference or study. Assay standard and "Blank" samples are inserted every 20th sample. These samples are then delivered to ACME Labs sample preparation facility in Itaituba, Para, Brazil. The assay samples are then fine-crushed to better than 85% passing 10 mesh screen, with an assay pulp split of up to 500 grams pulverized to better than 85% passing 200 mesh screen. Samples are assayed at ACME Labs in Santiago, Chile, using a 50 gram fire assay with AAS finish. These QA/QC procedures provide several measures of data quality and assure the Company that the assay data is representative of the original sample.
