83000 new mining jobs expected in PARA by 2020

http://www.ormnews.com.br/noticia/mineracao-deve-gerar-83-mil-novos-empregos-no-estado

MARCH 13, 2015 - 7:09 A.M. - PARÁ
Mining is expected to generate 83,000 new jobs in the state
Industry estimates that jobs will be created by 2020 in all Estad

By: The Liberal

By 2020, mining is expected to generate more than 83,000 jobs in Para. The estimate was announced yesterday by the president of the Union of Industries of the State of Pará Minerals (Simineral), José Gomes Junior, during a special session at the Legislative Assembly of Pará (Alepa ), commemorating the State Day of mining. Among the challenges for the sector, which in this same period should generate around US $ 31 billion in investments, are the logistics and tax barriers.

"Every increase in tax burden worries the industry. We are the second link in the production chain and our concern is that these factors may affect the end result is the consumer, "said Jose Fernando.

During the special session, the President of Sinmineral also highlighted advances, such as the internalisation of jobs - he cited, for example, that in the MRN, for example, today, 87% of its contracts are fulfilled by Para - but called attention need for the country's progress in re-discussion of the federal pact, which has penalized the Pará in exports and complete important projects like the North South railway, the waterway of the Araguaia and Tocantins the construction of new ports that can improve the flow of production.

The president of the Parliamentary Front of Mining, Mr Raimundo Santos (PEN), which required the session, stressed the importance of joint efforts to lobby Congress to unlock these guidelines. In particular, the discussion of the new regulatory framework for mining and regulation of Kandir Law. "It has to formalize the names of those who will follow these discussions of these two projects in Brasilia because they are issues that meet all of what we are debating for many years," said Santos.

He said another priority of the Parliamentary Front is to get society to take ownership of these debates. Even as a way to pressure the federal government to complete important projects like the overthrow of Pedral of Lawrence. "Our thought is to involve society in these discussions. If we do not have the verticalization is because they lack logistics solutions. No one will want to invest in steel in Pará if you have no flow assurance, "he said.

GROWTH

The Assistant Secretary of the State Secretariat for Economic Development, Mining and Energy (Sedeme), Maria Amelia Enriquez, also made an overview of the sector and highlighted the growth of activity in the state. According to her, in 2011, 50 municipalities Pará received financial compensation as a result of mining. In 2014, the number jumped to 62 municipalities.

The superintendent of the Sebrae in Pará, Fabrizio Guaglianone also announced investments of US $ 2 million for training of micro and small entrepreneurs operating in the sector. He explained that the courses that will be offered in the municipalities of Parauapebas, Ourilândia, Canaan and Bethlehem will focus not only care, but also access to market more independence of large mining projects. It is expected the production of small entrepreneurs increased by 5% to 15% in coming years

From Stockhouse:

new presentation posted on website
Mentions a preliminary license issued in February.

Also provides updates re: timelines, and mentions news of drilling activity this year too (which presumably is going to go into the definitive feasability paper too).

As for article, am surprised it had such a negative effect on the stock. You can't build a dam, then punish the mine for the issues of the dam. And you cannot act as if Belo Sun reneged on their promise to build a school, etc, for the locals, as Belo Sun first needs money to do that, and they won't get money without first getting the mine into production.

Did the locals expect an equity raise from Belo Sun that would be devoted to building new houses and a school for these locals before they even got the permits to build the mine? Did the writer of the article expect that too?

Starting to root for Belo Sun for different reasons than when I started investing in them, and definitely see this week as a great buying opportunity.

New Globe and Mail Article on Belo Sun
March 8, 2014
Canadian miner's quest for gold meets politics in the Amazon jungle
By STEPHANIE NOLEN
Belo Sun Mining's Mark Eaton is battling feuding governments, environmentalists and wary locals to construct the Volta Grande gold project in Brazil that is estimated to contain more than 4.8 million ounces
Brazil, Mark Eaton likes to say, will be the place where he builds something – where he has an impact, where he leaves a legacy. Standing on the grassy riverbank in the Amazon basin where he hopes to build Brazil's largest gold mine, he foresees a brilliant future.

The Brazilian present, however, is somewhat less appealing.

Mr. Eaton is red-faced and sweating in the damp midday heat. He struggles to make himself heard over the pounding music at his staff Christmas party, then frowns dubiously at the heavily salted grilled meat heaped on a plate in front of him. He cannot follow the Portuguese conversation bubbling around him. When a huge rain-forest wasp stings his hand, his jovial façade crumbles for a moment. He emits half an expletive before managing to restore the tight smile to his face.

A few days before the Christmas party, Mr. Eaton's company, Belo Sun Mining Corp., obtained an environmental licence to work here, two hours by boat down the Xingu River from the city of Altamira. Obtaining that licence, after a bureaucratic process that dragged on over three years, gave Mr. Eaton and his colleagues something to celebrate.

But there is a legal challenge to that licence, filed by a federal prosecutor who appears deeply mistrustful of the project, and two more licences must be obtained before any earth can be dug. And there are several different regulatory agencies responsible for the environment and the welfare of indigenous people, who are demanding a say in what Belo Sun does here.

"There have been so many days this past year when I wished I'd sold it a year ago," Mr. Eaton said, incinerating half a cigarette in a single inhalation as he surveyed the Christmas party. "No major [mining company] would want to go through this."

At stake is the Volta Grande gold project, which Belo Sun estimates contains more than 4.8 million ounces of measured and indicated gold. For Belo Sun it would be a company maker. Construction would cost about $330-million (U.S.), and the mine would produce an average of 167,000 ounces over 21 years. At current gold prices, that represents an annual revenue stream well above $200-million.

Volta Grande is a high-stakes project for Brazil, too. This country has the world's sixth-largest economy, but its glow has faded in the past few years, as once-rapid growth slowed abruptly. Brazil has raised interest rates sharply to battle inflation; in need of investment and jobs, the country must now decide how quickly it will encourage new developments, and at what cost.

Belo Sun's adventure on the Xingu is a microcosm of the many competing interests at play in development in the Amazon, where Brazil's most ambitious and potentially lucrative projects are located. It's an area whose economic potential is matched only by the extreme vulnerability and staggering diversity of its ecology.

Some of Belo Sun's problems have nothing to do with Brazil. Having bought in at the height of the commodities boom, Mr. Eaton saw the price of gold sink even as the Brazilian project required ever more cash to take it forward. There wasn't a solitary piece of infrastructure on the land (and even today there are only a bare-bones office, accommodation and some rough sheds to store drilled core). He wooed investors, led by gold funds, but conservation organizations did their best to sabotage the financing rounds, warning that the project would never happen. Today, the company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange at 44 cents, with a market capitalization of $117-million (Canadian).

But many of the company's problems have everything to do with Brazil – and this particular swath of land for which it has bought mineral exploration rights.

The gold is housed in volcanic greenstone rock, an intrusion that dissects the Volta Grande, or "big bend," in the Xingu, a 2,000-kilometre southern tributary of the Amazon River.

This has been known as gold territory for years: Garimpeiros, or "artisanal miners," have worked the land for more than half a century. This deposit was initially explored by the fallen Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista, in his first foray into mining. Verena Minerals bought it in 1996, and Mr. Eaton, a board member, was named chief executive officer in 2010. Shortly thereafter, the firm changed its name.

The Belo Monte dam

Pale with light blue eyes and blond hair with a boyish flop to it, Mr. Eaton has an English accent undiluted by his years in North America, and a formal, awkward manner that sets him apart as much from the laconic Canadians on his team as from the casually warm Brazilian ones. After a career as a mid-level equities broker, mostly in precious metals, Mr. Eaton jumped to the other side of the game at the height of gold prices. "As a former stockbroker, I get such a good feeling coming here," he enthused on a recent visit, surveying the cleared land where the boats from Altamira dock.

Mr. Eaton has no metallurgy or geology background, and defers on most technical and operations questions to Ian Pritchard, Belo Sun's chief operating officer. As reserved as his CEO is voluble, the operations chief is also English but a 23-year veteran of mines from rural Botswana to the Northwest Territories.

Mr. Eaton and his team raised the cash to buy this land, but they would seem to have been largely unaware of another project just 17 kilometres down the river that would come to be their biggest problem – although that project is remarkably hard to miss.

Between Altamira and the Belo Sun concession lies the Belo Monte dam: Now under construction, it will be the third-largest hydroelectric project in the world. It is the largest infrastructure project in Latin America by far, and the most controversial. It dams the Xingu and will flood an area of 516 square kilometres, producing 4.6 megawatts of power when it comes online in 2015. The dam has been in discussion since the 1970s; only in 2011 did the Brazilian government finally move ahead with building it, in the face of huge protests from environmentalists, indigenous peoples and the complaints of international celebrities such as Sting. The dam is still the focus of bitter protest, even as a giant concrete wall goes up in the middle of the river – and the mine next door that shares its name inevitably sits in its shadow.

"I tell the representatives of Belo Sun, 'Go get approval for a project like this in Canada,' " Jose Colares, the Environment Secretary (equivalent to a Canadian minister) for the state of Para, said in an interview in his office in the capital, Belem. "It's not easy. You're in an area of conflict, next to a huge dam with serious problems of social inequality with every actor involved. You picked the worst possible place."

Mr. Eaton appears to have belatedly come to that realization. "I might have chosen a different name if I'd known how controversial the dam was going to be, because I think people sometimes think we're affiliated," Mr. Eaton reflected.

The dam builders, at least, are at pains to convey that there is no such affiliation.

The Belo Monte dam is emblematic of the attitude of the current Brazilian government – that development takes precedence over any question of conservation in the Amazon region. The precise impact of the dam won't be obvious until years after it dries up part of the Volta Grande, and floods another – and for both environmental advocates and some in the Brazilian government, the idea of allowing the gold mine to proceed in that climate of uncertainty seems rash.

"We feel that any additional environmentally stressful activity in this region before that monitoring even happens is very dangerous," said Eliane Morera, a public prosecutor for the state of Para who sits on the environmental licensing board. She was the sole vote against when the board decided to license the mine in December.

For Ms. Morera and other critics of the dam – including Thais Santi, the federal prosecutor who filed the outstanding lawsuit – the most critical question is what the open-pit mine will mean for the indigenous inhabitants of this region. Brazilian law says that any project that is undertaken within 10 km of designated indigenous land (like a Canadian reserve) must include an impact study on how it will affect that community.

Belo Sun, arguing that its mine site is 12 km or more from the land of the Juruna and Arara peoples, didn't do those studies initially – something Ms. Santi calls illegal and unacceptable. Once indigenous people are involved, licensing becomes a subject of federal as well as state jurisdiction, because all indigenous issues are handled through the National Indian Foundation, known by its Portuguese acronym FUNAI, a body much like Canada's Department of Indian Affairs.

The question of whether Belo Sun is within or outside that critical 10-km zone remains disputed. The prosecutor says the mine is 9.6 km away; Belo Sun says the mine is closer than when it first applied for its licence because it has acquired new territory, but is still at least 10.7 km away.

But that kilometre-or-less issue is to some degree irrelevant. There are indisputably indigenous people living extremely close to the mine site, close enough that they will feel and hear blasting, and could be affected by any accident at the site. Their traditional hunting and fishing patterns will likely be disturbed – although any damage done by the mine pales compared to what is about to be caused by the dam. The name Juruna means "owners of the river," but the dam is going to reduce the flow of the Xingu by 85 per cent in this region.

"Belo Sun is just down there, so we're in the eye of the tornado," said Marino Juruna, the head of a community of about 100 people called Paquisamba – about 13 km downriver from Belo Sun. "It's clear that there's going to be an impact and it won't be small. Already the noise from the machines at the dam drove the animals away. We can't fish [at night], because the night looks like day, now, with all the lights they use."

Mr. Juruna worries about his people, his children and his tribe, but he worries too about people he doesn't even know. There is one, or two or three depending whom one asks, uncontacted groups of indigenous people living in the forests around the mine. They deliberately eschew interaction with other people, living an entirely traditional life, and no one is sure whether they are Juruna, Arara or something else entirely. Mr. Juruna (many in the community use the tribal name as their surname) said his people see their hunting trails in the forest some times, have left them gifts of smoked fish that have been accepted, have traded flute tunes through the trees – but that's it.

In the past couple of months, he said, they have disappeared – he has heard a rumour that they are now in the forest several days journey down the river – driven away most likely by the bright lights and the blasting and the silt churned up by the dam construction.

Mr. Pritchard said Belo Sun will proceed with a study on the mine's impact on indigenous people, as requested. He acknowledged that no one with Belo Sun knows what the area around the mine will look like in a year or two, when the river has been diverted. "But time isn't going to stop here while everyone sits and watches the river."

The garimpeiros

Meanwhile, Belo Sun has a second community demanding its attention: the garimpeiros, the small-scale miners who live on and still work the gold deposits on the Belo Sun concession. There are four communities of them scattered around the site; two are situated on top of what would be the pits when the mine begins work. Many of those miners were born on this land, and Brazilian law recognizes extractive rights of what it calls "traditional communities."

Until May, several thousand were still mining in hand-blasted shafts – wildly dangerous and deeply unpleasant work that involved being lowered up to 400 metres below ground in a cobbled-together tire swing. When it finalized title to the land, Belo Sun closed over the shafts and sealed off the pits. Many of the miners and their families moved out. Some stayed, sifting the old tailings for gold.

The mine would create 2,000 jobs in its installation phase, Mr. Eaton says, and about 500 when operational, and some will go to people from the garimpeiro villages. But many of the jobs will require a level of education or skill that people in the community don't have.

"Belo Sun came here with great proposals, that they'd never stop anyone working, that they'd give everyone jobs," said Jose Lopes da Costa, who has mined here for 26 years. "Those promises were a ploy – as soon as they got their first licence, they came in and stopped the mining." Some people in the towns did get jobs – mostly make-work projects, such as putting up fences, for which they are paid about $450 (U.S.) a month. That compares to the $750 a month they made in a typical month of mining, Mr. Lopes said – and that was work done on their own schedule, when they felt like working. He acknowledged that the work was dangerous and often unpleasant (the miners use mercury heated over open flames, often in small enclosed spaces, to form the gold into small chunks they can sell).

"The government could come here, give us training – but no, they want to bring in a foreign company and throw us out," said Ideglan Cunha, another garimpeiro who said his parents were born on the land where he now has a three-room wooden house. "The wealth could be kept here within this country – and instead it will go out. What the company will spend here, it's crumbs. They will get rich on the backs of our poverty."

Mr. Pritchard said the company has done a census of who lived in the four small towns as of last year, and will buy the homes and businesses of those people, as well as moving them to a new community 22 km away. Royalties (currently set at 1 per cent of gross value of extracted gold, these are projected to be $15-million a year paid to a municipality of about 12,000 people) will pay for schools, health care and roads.

But Mr. Cunha said his community is frustrated because none of that is visibly under way. "They've stopped us from mining, but there's no resettlement project. They play with time – they're millionaires, they have investors. They just plan to put pressure on this place [for years], so the people all give up and leave."

There is perhaps more truth in this statement than Mr. Cunha knows: Mr. Eaton admits that with gold prices down, Belo Sun was perfectly happy to have a quiet year in 2013, in which bureaucracy kept them from being able to push forward at the original planned speed with developing the mine.

But the bureaucratic woes may be abating, because it is clear that the government in Para state – which has primary responsibility for approving the mind – wants this mine to get built. A few months ago a police force sent by the Environment Ministry came to bust up the technically illegal mining on the company land, the first time anyone can remember the police enforcing the law against unlicensed artisanal mining.

Seventy per cent of the land Belo Sun wants to use had small farmers on it. Mr. Eaton says the company was ultra-careful with land title, taking the step of first formally registering it in the name of the farmers who owned it before buying it from them.

But that's not as straightforward an assertion as it might seem, said Ms. Morera, the state prosecutor: those farmers were resettled under a federal program to give landless people farm land, in an effort to reduce both violent conflict over land and illegal agriculture that is seeing the forest cleared at a furious pace. How, she asked, does the company know that the owners they registered actually had a valid title claim, given that land transactions in this area frequently involve invasions, faked claims and extortion? "These people who negotiated with Belo Sun might be grileiros [professional land thieves who operate across the rainforest]. This question worries me very much."

The federal land authorities told The Globe and Mail that the agency is investigating "possible irregularities" in Belo Sun's purchase of the land and that the company had been informed that their work area overlapped with land already used to resettle people. The authorities would not say how long that investigation might go on or what its outcomes might be.

The rain forest

The other actor in all this is one largely without a voice – the forest itself. This ecosystem is home to 10 per cent of the world's species. Mr. Pritchard says that although the open pits will be just 100 metres from the river, the company's impact on those species will be minimal: It will draw no water from the depleted river, he said, instead relying on rainfall collection. It will store tailings away from the riverbank, in ponds that he said will not leach into the surrounding land or river, that will keep cyanide out of the ecosystem. It's not virgin rain forest, he pointed out, but land that has already been cleared extensively for agriculture and that has been heavily degraded by the artisanal mining, damage the company will have to clean up.

The state Environment Secretary, Mr. Colares, is persuaded by this argument. "If this project doesn't happen, people are going to continue to live in misery and environmental degradation will continue," he said.

Ms. Morera called that assertion specious. "Yes, the land there is totally degraded and nobody takes any care about improving it – but there are other alternatives for sustainable development that they have totally ignored," she said. "You absolutely can't say that [commercial mining] is the only way to rehabilitate it."

For Ms. Morera and other critics, the mine itself is a problem, and so is what it represents – Altamira, once a sleepy little town, has in the past couple of years boomed to 100,000 people (but still dumps all its sewage directly into the river.) By green-lighting the mine, the government is sending the message that this region is open for development.

International non-governmental organizations such as Amazon Watch are highly critical of the proposed mine; 44 different organizations are part of a public campaign called Belo Sun No! Mr. Colares doesn't appreciate their involvement. Foreign countries, he said, particularly those in the developed world, like to talk about the Amazon as global heritage. That it is, he said, but it also happens to be on sovereign Brazilian territory, and Canadians who don't like the idea of mining here should remember that no one was trying to shut them down when they went hammer and tongs after their own minerals a century ago.

Belo Sun's licensing process has taken as long as it has in part because the company has been caught in a dispute between the state and federal levels. This state, Para, is Brazil's largest mineral producer and, under a decentralization initiative from the centre, is entitled to engage and license a project like Belo Sun itself. Yet a number of federal agencies, including the indigenous peoples' and one called the Brazilian Institute of the Environmental and Natural Renewable Resources, in charge of conservation, are entitled to a say, and the federal prosecutor's agency has taken a self-appointed activist role for both the Belo Monte dam and this case – becoming in the process the bane of Mr. Eaton's days. He described Ms. Santi as an ambitious lawyer unhappy at being posted to the backwater of Altamira: "She's trying to make a name for herself – and we're a pretty easy target."

The oversight of federal agencies makes for a good system, in theory, he said – "making sure someone doesn't just come in here and trample over the indigenous people," he said. "But in practice it's been a little harder. I'd rather spend money on geologists than lawyers."

Perhaps fortunately for Belo Sun, the company happened into a situation where the Environment Secretary who must sign off on their permits is palpably irritated with environmentalists and others who oppose the dam, whom he views as professional opponents of progress, and fed up with federal interference in his state. Mr. Colares is having none of the public prosecutors' objections, or of the suggestion that because of the mine's proximity to the dam, the changed river flow and the indigenous lands, that federal regulatory agencies should also be involved.

He opens a discussion about Belo Sun with a long list of grievances. "The effects of mining on the local economy are minimal," he said. "In the installation phase they employ thousands of people but when they operate, the number of employees falls dramatically because these are very technical, innovative projects, not reliant on human labour. The federal government exempts them from taxes so that Brazil will be internationally competitive."

He says he has no idea how much money the project will mean for the state. (Mr. Pritchard says the mine will generate about $226-million in federal, state and local taxes over 12 years.) But Mr. Colares would seem very determined that the federal agencies are not going to take away his power to make these decisions, and if they oppose Belo Sun, he is determined to see it happen.

"We don't need to consult with [the federal agencies] ... They're just making confusion," he says. "It doesn't matter if the mine is 9, 10 or 11 km from [the indigenous people] – it doesn't impact them – even their border," he said.

Many in the environmentalist community here speculate that Belo Sun intends to sell the mine now that it has an environmental licence; Mr. Eaton insists they will build.

"We've spent $35-million on engineering studies to build it," he said. He gestured toward the rough wooden core sheds that house the 175,000 metres of rock the company has drilled, at the stacks and stacks of trays that hold the proof this land is seamed with high-grade ore. "It's a great project. It's a good enough project that I believe we will end up building."

$BSX.TO - Belo Sun Increases Measured and Indicated Resources to 5.1 Million Ounces of Gold Plus Inferred Resources of 2.5 Million Ounces of Gold at Its Volta Grande Gold Project, Brazil

http://www.belosun.com/News/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/Belo-Sun-Increases-Measured-and-Indicated-Resources-to-51-Million-Ounces-of-Gold-Plus-Inferred-Resources-of-25-Million-Ounces-of-Gold-at-Its-Volta-Grande-Gold-Project-Brazil/default.aspx

... "TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 3, 2013) - Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX:BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") has completed an updated, independently audited mineral resource statement for its 100%-owned Volta Grande gold project in Para State, Brazil. This updated mineral resource statement is based on results from 94 additional drill holes (22,595 meters of drilling) which represents results of all the holes completed at the Volta Grande Project to date.

The results were independently audited by SRK Consulting (Canada) ("SRK") and represent an important increase in the measured and indicated categories of Belo Sun's estimated mineral resources. This mineral resource statement will support the definitive feasibility study for the development of the Volta Grande Project as follows (see Table below for mineral resource estimate details):

Measured and Indicated Pit Constrained Mineral Resources of 5.1 Million Ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.68 g/t Au, which represents an increase of approximately 10% in these resource categories (from 4.7 Million Ounces) compared with the previous April 2013 update.



Inferred Pit Constrained Mineral Resources of 2.4 Million Ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.69g/t Au; and



Underground resources of 14,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 3.01 g/t Au in the Indicated category and 184,000 ounces at an average grade of 3.33 g/t Au in the Inferred category.



In response to the findings of the pre-feasibility study, two higher grade domains were modelled on the basis of geological interpretation and grade continuity. The modelled high grade zones can be traced for 540 metres along strike from the surface to a depth of 300 metres. This approach restricts the spatial influence of the higher grade gold mineralization, delivering a slightly more conservative resource model and mitigating the risks associated with the local impact of high grade intervals. The two high grade zones contain approximately 424,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 3.09 g/t gold in the Measured and Indicated categories and 1,400 ounces of gold at a grade of 2.52 g/t gold in the Inferred category.

Mark Eaton, President and CEO of the Company, commented, "This mineral resource update represents an increase in the measured and indicated category of one million ounces of gold, when compared with the December 2012 mineral resource update which was used as the basis of the May 2013 pre feasibility study. Belo Sun team is currently using the current mineral resource estimate in the modeling and mine sequencing for the ongoing definitive feasibility study."

The mineral resource estimate was reported in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 guidelines; the corresponding Technical Report will be filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR in due course. This is an update incorporating drilling completed since the previously reported mineral resource estimate that was issued in April, 2013. This mineral resource statement was calculated using the same modeling parameters as were used to complete the April 2013 update. Please note key parameters below. The mineral resource estimate was completed by the Belo Sun team under supervision of David Gower, P.Geo, and Carlos Costa, P.Geo. each of whom is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The mineral resource estimate was audited by Dr. Oy Leuangthong, P.Eng, and Dr. Lars Weiershauser, P.Geo of SRK, both of whom are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and are each independent of Belo Sun." ...

can anyone explain what was negative in this latest press release? They're mentioned as a takeover target in a Mineweb article today too, so its downward price action baffles me unless there's a sense it will be denied its permits. I realize that risk, though I can't see it happening...

Received a target PPS of $1 per share. Supposed to come out with news this week that will update their mineral resources, etc...

If and when the company gets its mining permits, this will likely double quickly. I had to reinvest at these ridiculous prices, but it's more of a gamble than most, I think. A true high risk/high reward gamble.

Insider selling (at these prices) suggest threats to block Belo Sun from mining (by environmental groups) might have a little weight behind them.

$BSX.TO - Belo Sun Releases Results for 74 Additional Drill Holes at Its Volta Grande Project

http://www.belosun.com/News/News-Releases/News-Releases-Details/2013/Belo-Sun-Releases-Results-for-74-Additional-Drill-Holes-at-Its-Volta-Grande-Project/default.aspx

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 24, 2013) - Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX:BSX) has received assays for 74 additional drill holes (corresponding to 15,813 meters of drilling) at its Volta Grande Project. This drilling has been designed to expand and upgrade the current resources estimate.

The results being released today are being incorporated into a database and will be used in the new mineral resource estimate expected to be completed in early Q3 this year. There are no pending results for the 2013 drill program. Belo Sun has completed 203,235 meters of drilling (767 drill holes) since April 2010.

Included in this release are the assay results from seven drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit, 23 from the Ouro Verde deposit (most of them from the "Junction" OuroVerde/Grota Seca area), 35 from the South block area as well as nine from the Anapu Regional target. The complete results are presented below. Highlights from the holes included in this release are:

For the South Block, at the Pequi target area, hole VVGD-688 intersected 14.09 meters grading 6.32 g/t Au (from 295.56 meters) and shallow high grade intersections at the Itata target area in hole VVGD-693 with 5.88 meters grading 8.02 g/t Au (from 118.62 meters) and hole VVGD-656 with 4.40 meters grading 11.99 g/t Au (from 26.65 meters).



Hole VVGD-689 (at the Grota Seca deposit) intersected 11.65 meters grading 1.91 g/t Au (from 182.60 meters). This intercept represents a new mineralized zone that is located parallel to the main "Central" zone.



A significant down dip intercept at the Ouro Verde deposit Northwest extension in hole VVGD-640 at section 1150 NW with 11.00 meters grading 2.08 g/t Au (from 256.00 meters).



The Volta Grande "Pit constrained" mineral resources has 4.7 million ounces in the Measured and Indicated category grading 1.68 g/t and 2.2 million ounces grading 1.85 g/t in the Inferred category (see press release dated April 15th 2013 and Technical Report filed on SEDAR). The focus of this campaign has been to upgrade Inferred resources into the Measured and Indicated category and to expand the overall size of the resource.

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 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 provide assurances to Belo Sun that the assay data is representative of the original sample.

Corporate Overview


Belo Sun - Overview

Belo Sun is exploring for gold along the major mineralized belts of northern Brazil, a region boasting vast mineral wealth and a vibrant, modern mining industry. Brazil is home to a world-class mining industry with remarkable exploration potential. Brazil also has a favorable political climate with a recently modernized mining code and, despite its excellent geology, remains largely underexplored.
Volta Grande Project

Belo Sun is focused on expanding and advancing its 100% owned Volta Grande Project. Belo Sun recently announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Volta Grande based on assay results from 140 drill holes from the 2011 drilling campaign. The Mineral Resources of the Volta Grande Project now total approximately 52,451,000 tonnes of Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources at an average grade of 1.69 g/t Au which contains approximately 2,852,000 ounces of gold as well as approximately 39,990,000 tonnes of Inferred mineral resources at an averave grade of 1.81 g/t Au containing approximately 2,322,000 ounces of gold.

The ongoing drilling program at the Volta Grande property will continue throughout 2012 and assay results will be released as they are received.

A Definite Feasibility Study for the Volta Grande Project is presently underway. It is anticipated to be complete by Q3 2013.

Patrocinio Project

Belo Sun's 100% owned Patrocinio Project covers approximately 18,700 hectares of the Tapajos gold province, historically the most important gold producing region in Brazil, with over six million ounces of artisanal production since the 1950s. Several public sources indicate that about one million ounces of gold has been produced by local miners at Patrocinio. In 2006, Belo Sun optioned the project to Kinross, who can earn a 65% interest by sole funding US $8 million in exploration and development through September, 2011. In 2007, Kinross completed an airborne magnetic survey over the property and collected soil samples every 80 metres on 800 metre spaced lines across the entire property. Follow-up work focused on the Pista Velha target area, defined by anomalous gold in soils covering an area measuring 2.5 kilometre x 1.0 kilometre.
