Belo Sun Increases Number of Drills to Eleven (11) at Its Volta Grande Gold Project, Para State, Brazil
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/30/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce that it has secured an additional four diamond drill rigs and one reverse circulation ("RC") drill rig for its Volta Grande Gold Project bringing the total number to eleven (11). The five new drill rigs are expected to arrive on site over the next three to four weeks.
With these additional rigs, Belo Sun is anticipating drilling a minimum of 6,500 meters per month in order to accelerate the resource upgrade program (infill drilling) and to continue its expansion of the resources at the Volta Grande Project. The new contractors are REDE ENGENHARIA E SONDAGENS, one of the largest Brazilian drill contractors, and GEOSEDNA which specializes in RC drilling.
The RC drilling program is designed to test the Greia Target, an area of 1,000 x 1,000 meters where strong soil geochemical anomalies as well as significant mineralized intercepts from limited historical drilling occurs (see location map and cross sections below).
The initial distribution of the ten drill rigs will be as follows: six rigs will be employed to complete the remainder of the infill drilling program which has been designed to convert Inferred resources to Measured and Indicated categories to be utilized in feasibility studies; three rigs will work to expand the resources, predominantly focused along strike; and one will continue to test targets on the South Block of the property. As the infill drilling program concludes, rigs will be redirected to further accelerate the other two programs.
In addition, Belo Sun announces that it has completed construction of a new on site sample preparation facility to be operated by ACME which has an installed capacity of two-hundred samples per day.
Mark Eaton, the President and Chief Executive Officer for Belo Sun, stated: "That our team in Brazil was able to secure these additional drill rigs in an intensely competitive exploration market speaks volumes not only of their aptitude but also of their esteem within the mining community.. This is an important achievement for Belo Sun and the Volta Grande Project as it will ensure that our development plans for the Volta Grande Project continue to remain on track."
