Belo Sun Discovers Significant Gold Mineralization at the South Block and Completes Infill Drilling Program on Volta Grande
- VVGD-191 at the Itata Target on the Eastern Part of the South Block Intersected a Thick New Zone of Gold Mineralization at Shallow Depths in Two Intervals of 15.45 Meters Grading 2.09 g/t Au (from 13.7 Meters Depth) and 15.00 Meters Grading 2.06 g/t Au (from 56 Meters Depth). - The Infill Drilling Program to Upgrade the Resources at Volta Grande to Measured and Indicated Categories has Been Completed. A Revised Resource Report Will Be Completed Once Assays for the Final Holes of the Program Are Received. the Drill Program is Now Focused on Continuing to Expand the Resources and to Delineate New Resources Including at the South Block Targets.
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/11/11 -- Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BSX) (the "Company" or "Belo Sun") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new mineralized zone in the South Block and assay results from 29 additional drill holes from the diamond drilling program at its Volta Grande Gold Project in Para State, Brazil. The complete results and cross sections are presented below. Assay results from the 29 drill holes include: 10 drill holes from the Ouro Verde deposit, 17 drill holes from the Grota Seca deposit and 2 from the South Block target.
Helio Diniz, the Vice President, Exploration for Belo Sun, stated, "We are very excited by the new discovery of gold mineralization with significant grades and widths in the South Block in hole VVGD-191. The South Block is characterized by a very extensive alteration system and numerous artisanal workings and this hole confirms the potential for significant associated gold mineralization. We are very pleased to have completed the infill drilling program on time and although there is an assay back log we are planning to be able to release a new resource estimate by year end and published by early Q1 / 2012. The existing deposits continue to be extended along strike and down dip. At his point there is little doubt that the program has been successful in both upgrading and expanding the mineral resources subsequent to our previous report".
To date, Belo Sun has completed 237 drill holes at the Volta Grande Gold Project, of which assays are pending for 80 holes from the northern block. The current drilling program is designed to upgrade and expand the existing mineral resource estimate and further results will be released as they become available.
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, 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 Project site. The assay samples are then fine-crushed to better than 85% 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 assure the Company that the assay data is representative of the original sample.
