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 and September 2013 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

For the PEA, Belo Sun used the October 2013 mineral resource estimate. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. External

mining dilution is calculated at 12.3% at zero grade. The diluted life of mine mill feed grade will average 1.14 g/t gold with an average cutoff of 0.48 g/t gold. Based on current

metallurgical testing, the average gold recovery is expected to be 92.8% overall for the life of mine. The ultimate pit design was based on an optimised pit shell using a US$ 1020 /oz

gold price. Internal phases were designed within that ultimate shell. For the purposes of the PEA, only measured and indicated resources were included in the PEA mine design.

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.
