TSX: BSX

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.
