Belo Sun Intersects 62.50 Meters Grading 3.81 G/T Gold at the Grota Seca Deposit
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/25/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from twelve 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 twelve drill holes include assays from nine drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit, four drill holes from the Ouro Verde deposit and one from the South Block target.
Highlights:
-- Holes VVGD-103 and VVGD-106 (Grota Seca Cross Section 1850 W and 1900 W
respectively) which are part of the infill drilling program designed to
upgrade the resource categories, intersected multiple mineralized zones.
These holes, located at the central part of the Grota Seca deposit, have
intersected high grade gold mineralization near surface and they confirm
true thickness and continuity of mineralization along strike and at
depth. Intercepts include: VVGD-103 with 62.50 meters grading 3.81 g/t
Au (from 28.60 m depth) including 12.85 meters grading 14.01 g/t Au and
VVGD-106.
-- Hole VVGD-102 (Ouro Verde Cross Section 50 SE) intercepted
mineralization between the Ouro Verde and Grota Seca deposits and may
suggest the two deposits could be continuous.
-- The infill drilling program at Ouro Verde is progressing as planned and
Belo Sun anticipates that the present program will upgraded the resource
categories in this area of the property in the near future.
To date, Belo Sun has completed 140 drill holes (35,592m) at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays are pending for 35 holes. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade and expand the existing mineral resource estimate and 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 in Figure 1 below.
Mark Eaton, the CEO for Belo Sun, stated, "These results are encouraging as most of the intercepts are located above 100 meters vertical depth and a number of new zones have been identified which we intend to be follow up with additional drilling along strike. With 10 diamond drill rigs on site there will be a steady stream of news over the next several months."

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 80% 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.
