Belo Sun Intersects 46.10 Meters Grading 2.05 g/t Au and 20.7 Meters Grading 3.08 g/t Au at Volta Grande
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/11/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce assay results from 11 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 eleven holes being released include seven holes from the Grota Seca deposit and four from the Ouro Verde deposit. Multiple mineralized zones continue to be intercepted in both deposits.
Highlights:
-- Hole VVGD - 041, located on Cross Section 750 W, with an interval of
12.92 meters grading 4.42 g/t Au including 4.37 meters grading 12.50 g/t
Au located at approximately 200 meters below surface (244 meters down
the hole) This high-grade mineralization corresponds to the zone that is
being mined underground at the Galo garimpo and proves its continuity.
-- Hole VVGD-066 (Ouro Verde Cross Section 650 NW) which intersected
multiple mineralized zones with an interval of 46.10 meters grading 2.05
g/t Au including 10.30 meters grading 3.61 g/t Au starting at
approximately 200 meters vertical depth (314 meters down the hole)
-- Hole VVGD-058 (Ouro Verde Cross Section 100 NW) with an intercept of
20.70 meters grading 3.08 g/t Au.
-- Indication that mineralization in this portion of the deposit improves
at depth with higher thickness and grade.
Belo Sun has completed approximately 85 drill holes of which assays are pending for 16 holes. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade and expand the existing mineral resource and further results will be released as they are received.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President, Exploration for Belo Sun, stated "The results of the holes being released are mostly from sections on the boundaries of the deposits and they confirm the continuity of the mineralization which remains open. Additionally the resources are being upgraded as most of the areas modeled previously consisted of inferred mineral resources. We remain optimistic that the Volta Grande Project has potential to become one of the larger, multi-million ounces projects discovered in Brazil."
The geological map of the Volta Grande Gold Project, with diagrams setting out the main deposit locations, is included below.

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 and suspected mineralized 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.
