Belo Sun Drills New Mineralized Zones at the Ouro Verde Deposit and High Grade Gold on the South Block Target
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/05/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from fourteen 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 in Table 1 below. Results from fourteen drill holes include assays of seven drill holes from the Ouro Verde deposit, five drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit and two from the South Block target.
Highlights:
-- Holes VVGD-095 and VVGD-086 (Ouro Verde Cross Section 750 NW and 800 NW
respectively), which were drilled as part of the infill drilling program
designed to upgrade the resources, intersected multiple mineralized
zones approximately 100 meters below the existing optimal pit. The holes
are located at the present limit of the deposit and indicate the
potential to continue extending the currently defined deposit.
Significant intercepts include: 34.45 meters grading 1.63 g/t Au (from
197.40 m depth) and 27.80 meters grading 1..32 g/t Au (from 235.80 m
depth).
-- High grade intercepts have been drilled at the South Block. Holes VVGD-
078 and VVGD-090 intercepted 1.15 meters grading 11.60 g/t Au and 2.00m
grading 12.44 g/t Au respectively. Additionally, Hole VVGD-090
intercepted 7.95 meters grading 1.75 g/t Au.
-- Hole VVGD-094 (Grota Seca Cross Section 650 W) intercepted 21.40 meters
grading 2.78 g/t Au including 6.82 meters grading 7.08 g/t Au at shallow
depth which will also improve the Project's economics.
To date, Belo Sun has completed 123 drill holes at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays are pending for 26 holes. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade and expand the existing mineral resource estimate and further drill results will be released as they become available.
The geological map of the Volta Grande Gold Project, with diagrams which illustrate the main deposit locations, is included in Figure 1 below.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President of Exploration for Belo Sun, stated, "The new zones which were identified at the NW extension of the Ouro Verde deposit continue to indicate the enormous potential for expanding the current resources at Volta Grande. With the new drill rigs expected to arrive at the project imminently, we anticipate that the ongoing drilling program will further accelerate an increase in the mineral resources in addition to upgrading the resource categories from Indicated and Inferred to Measured and Indicated".

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 at the Project site. The assay samples are then fine-crushed to better than 85% passing 10 mesh screens, with an assay pulp split of up to 1000 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.
