Belo Sun Intersects New High Grade Zone at Grota Seca and Expands Grande Deposit
28.01.2013 | Marketwire
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX: BSX) reports assays for 86 additional drill holes (corresponding to 24,015 meters) at its Volta Grande Project as part of its mineral resources expansion and upgrade drilling program.
The results being released today are being incorporated into the company's database and will be used in the new mineral resource estimate update expected to be completed in early Q2 this year.
Included in this release are the assay results from 47 additional drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit, 28 from the Ouro Verde deposit and 11 from the South block area. The complete results and selected cross sections are presented below. Highlights from the holes contained in this release include:
-- Hole VVGD-529 (Grota Seca Cross Section 1825W) intersected 12.07 meters
grading 11.08 g/t Au (from 59.40 meters) including 4.85 meters grading
26.78 g/t Au (from 63.40 meters). This intercept represents a new high
grade mineralized zone which is located parallel to the main "Central"
zone.
-- Hole VVGD-567 (Grota Seca Cross Section 2350W) intersected 13.34 meters
grading 4.60 g/t Au (from 119.56 meters).
-- Significant down dip intercepts at the Ouro Verde deposit such as in
hole VVGD-628 at section 775 NW with 9.75 meters grading 2.80 g/t Au
(from 338.95 meters) and 6.30 meters grading 4.46 g/t Au (from 379.00
meters).
-- At the South Block, Grande Deposit the highlight is hole VVGD-633 with
9.02 meters grading 5.68 g/t Au (from 168.03 meters) and 4.52 meters
grading 15.47 g/t Au (from 201.18 meters).
Helio Diniz, Belo Sun's Vice President of Exploration, stated, "The recent drilling results at Volta Grande with the shallow high grade intercepts continue to demonstrate the potential for further expansion of the mineral resources and combined with the ongoing regional program to the South East of Volta Grande and at Belo Sun's Patrocinio property in the Tapajos indicate Belo Sun has the potential to expand on the success its exploration team has enjoyed in the past three years."
At present Volta Grande has 4.1 million ounces of gold in the Measured and Indicated category grading 1.73 g/t and 2.8 million ounces of gold grading 1.96 g/t in the Inferred category (see press release dated December 18, 2012).
Ian Pritchard, Chief Operating Officer of Belo Sun, said "The expansion of the Grande deposit, which was estimated to contain 123,900 ounces at a grade of 4.58 g/t in the inferred category (see press release dated June 11th, 2012), has led us to study it as a potential source of high grade feed in the early years of production at Volta Grande and metallurgical tests are currently ongoing."
TABLE 1 - DIAMOND DRILLING ASSAY RESULTS
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 Volta Grande Project site. The assay samples are then fine-crushed to better than 80% passing 10 mesh screens, with an assay pulp split of up to 1,000 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.
