Belo Sun Drills 28.19 m Grading 8.76 g/t Gold Including 7.76 m Grading 30.67 g/t Gold in Grota Seca Central Deposit, Volta Grande Project, Brazil
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/16/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from five 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 five drill holes being released include assays from four drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit and one drill hole from the Ouro Verde deposit. Multiple mineralized zones continue to be intercepted in both deposits.
Highlights:
-- Hole VVGD-083 (Grota Seca Cross Section 1950 W) which is part of the
infill drilling for upgrading the Volta Grande Resources intersected
multiple mineralized zones beginning at surface. The first 70 meters are
well mineralized such as: 28.19 meters grading 8.76g/t Au (from 44.20 m
depth), including 7.67 meters grading 30.67 g/t Au (from 61.83 m depth).
This intercept includes the highest grade (415.8 g/t Au over 0.5m)
sample from drilling at the Project to date. This hole also contains
other well mineralized zones further down the hole as presented in Table
1 below.
-- Holes VVGD-077, 079 and 082 are also part of the infill drilling program
at the Grota Seca Deposit and these intersections demonstrate the
continuity of the mineralization between sections or along strike (see
Table 1).
-- Hole VVGD-080 drilled at the Ouro Verde deposit successfully tested for
extensions of the mineralization and will have a positive impact on the
resource expansion.
To date, Belo Sun has completed 103 drill holes at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays are pending for 19 holes. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade the resource designation in support of a planned feasibility study and expanding the existing mineral resource estimate. Further results will be released as they become available..
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, "It is really very exciting to have results such as the ones above with a very good combination of grades, width and shallow depth of the mineralization. These results are expected to have a positive impact on future economic modeling of the project."

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.
