Belo Sun Expands High Grade Mineralization Down Dip and Along Strike at the Ouro Verde Deposit
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2011) - Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from 23 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. These results include assays from nine drill holes from the Ouro Verde deposit, 13 drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit and one from the South Block.
-- At the Ouro Verde deposit, holes VVGD-153 and VVGD-187 which were part
of the infill drilling program to upgrade the existing mineral resources
intersected multiple mineralized zones, have extended the mineralization
approximately 100 meters down dip and demonstrate the continuity of
mineralization in that direction.
-- At the Grota Seca deposit, hole VVGD-165 (Grota Seca Cross Section 725
W) from the infill drilling program intersected high grade
mineralization along strike from the Galo garimpo (a 300 meters deep
shaft used by artisanal miners). The intercept totaled 17.70 meters
grading 4.31 g/t Au (from 188.35 m depth) including 6.53 meters grading
9.61 g/t Au. This hole is located approximately 275m southeast from the
shaft.
-- Over the last three months, 32,000 meters of drilling has been completed
at the Volta Grande project with a Project record drilling production of
11,208 meters in October. Eleven drill rigs are still in operation at
site. With the recent completion of the infill drilling program, all are
now directed toward expanding the estimated mineral resources. A new
resource estimate is planned to be completed by year-end and a full
report will be issued and filed on SEDAR.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President, Exploration for Belo Sun, stated, "We are excited with the expansion of mineral resources that we are seeing at the Ouro Verde deposit. At present we are drilling at section 950 NW which is approximately 100 meters along strike from the previously reported drilling and mineralized zones and believe we have intersected visible gold. The existing deposit continues to be extended along strike and down dip and Belo Sun is now tendering a new Diamond drilling contract for a further 36,000 meters of drilling to be completed in the first half of 2012."
A complete summary of assays are listed below. To date, Belo Sun has completed 287 drill holes at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays remain pending for 47 holes from the northern block. 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.

The widths reported below represent the core width of
the intercepts; true widths are expected to range
between 85-95% of the core width.

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.
