All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, but not limited to, any information as to the future

financial or operating performance of Belo Sun, constitute ‘‘forward-looking information’’ or ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of certain securities laws,

including the provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this news release. Forward-looking

statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to: possible events, the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the

realization of mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and

timing of the development of projects and new deposits, success of exploration, development and mining activities, permitting timelines, currency fluctuations, requirements

for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on

insurance coverage. The words “anticipates”, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘expects’’, “indicative”, “intend”, ‘‘scheduled’’, “timeline”, ‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘forecasts”, “guidance”, “opportunity”, “outlook”,

“potential”, “projected”, “schedule”, “seek”, “strategy”, “study” (including, without limitation, as may be qualified by “feasibility” and “pre-feasibility”), “targets”, “models”, or

‘‘believes’’, or variations of or similar such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results ‘‘may’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘would’’, or ‘‘should’’, ‘‘might’’, or ‘‘will be

taken’’, ‘‘occur’’ or ‘‘be achieved’’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of

estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Belo Sun as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and

competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The estimates, models and assumptions of Belo Sun referenced, contained or incorporated by reference in this news release,

which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions set forth herein and in our most recently filed Annual Information Form and our full-

year 2012 Management’s Discussion and Analysis as well as: (1) there being no significant disruptions affecting the operations of Belo Sun or any entity in which it now or

hereafter directly or indirectly holds an investment, whether due to labour disruptions, supply disruptions, power disruptions, damage to equipment or otherwise; (2) political

and legal developments in Brazil being consistent with Belo Sun’s current expectations; (3) the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar, Brazil Real and the U.S. dollar

being approximately consistent with current levels; (4) certain price assumptions for gold; (5) prices for diesel, natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and other key supplies being

approximately consistent with current levels; (6) production and cost of sales forecasts for Belo Sun, and entities in which it now or hereafter directly or indirectly holds an

investment, meeting expectations; (7) the accuracy of the current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of Belo Sun (including but not limited to ore tonnage and

ore grade estimates) and any entity in which it now or hereafter directly or indirectly holds an investment; (8) labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent

with Belo Sun’s current expectations; (9) the viability of the Volta Grande Project (including but not limited to the impact of ore tonnage and grade variability reconciliation

analysis) as well as permitting, development and expansion being consistent with Belo Sun’s current expectations; and (10); access to capital markets. Known and

unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities (such as diesel fuel and electricity); increases in the

discount rates applied to present value net future cash flows based on country-specific real weighted average cost of capital; declines in the market valuations of peer

group gold producers and Belo Sun, and the resulting impact on market price to net asset value multiples; changes in interest rates or gold rates; changes

Carlos Costa, P.Geo, an employee of the Company and a qualified person under NI43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information herein.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Mineral Resources Parameters

TSX: BSX

(a) The gold mineralization envelopes were modelled into wireframe solids using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade in fresh and saprolite rocks

utilizing vertical and horizontal sections. 3D shells were generated by linking horizontal sections each 10m apart.

(b) A specific gravity of 2.75 was used for the Grota Seca and the Ouro Verde deposits and 2.77 for the South Block and 1.36 for the

saprolite in both deposits.

(c) Estimations are based on original samples capped at 9 - 40 g/t Au depending on the resource domain.

(d) The database for the Ouro Verde deposit includes 46 historical core boreholes (8,461 metres) and 232 boreholes (67,054 metres)

completed and assayed by Belo Sun since April 2010.

(e) The mineralized zones at the Ouro Verde deposit extend for about 2,400 metres along strike. Eight gold mineralization domains

were modelled in fresh rock, and one saprolite domain was modelled. The gold mineralization thickness ranges from 2 to 60 metres.

The maximum allowed internal dilution is approximately 3 metres.

(f) The database for the Grota Seca deposit comprises 11 reverse circulation and 129 historical core boreholes (24,730 metres) and 48

reverse circulation and 332 core boreholes (98,786 metres) completed and assayed by Belo Sun since April 2010 .

(g) The mineralized zones at the Grota Seca deposit extend 2,900 metres along strike. Seven gold mineralization domains were

modelled in fresh rock, and one saprolite domain was modelled. The gold mineralization thickness ranges from 2 to 70 metres. The

maximum allowed internal dilution is approximately 3 metres.

(h) The database for the South Block deposits comprises 22 historical core boreholes (3,370 metres and 40 core boreholes (10,905

metres) completed and assayed by Belo Sun since April 2010.

(i) The mineralized zones at the South Block deposits extend discontinuously for about 1,900 metres along strike. Three gold

mineralization domains were modelled in fresh rock, and one saprolite domain was modelled. The gold mineralization thickness

ranges from 2 to 16 metres. The maximum allowed internal dilution is approximately 3 metres.

(j) Block model gold grades were estimated using ordinary kriging informed by 1.0 m capped composites. All estimations are based on

a percent block model with unitary dimension of 12.5 m E, 5.0 m N and 10 m elevation rotated -17° clockwise in the Ouro Verde and

Grota Seca deposits and -25° in the South Block.

(k) “Open-pit” mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au. “Underground” mineral resources (outside pit shell) are

reported at a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au.

(l) Measured mineral resources include all mineralized blocks within one time of the variogram range and informed from a minimum of

3 boreholes in 3 octants.

(m) Indicated mineral resources include all mineralized blocks estimated in the first or second estimation runs (within the variogram

range), whose estimation required a minimum of two drill holes.

(n) Inferred mineral resources include all mineralized blocks not classified as Measured or Indicated in the first and second estimation

runs and all blocks estimated in the third estimation run (twice the variogram range).
