GOLD PROJECT in BRAZIL

TSX: BSX

Page 2: Belo Sun Presentation January 2013

This presentation contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking

information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the prospective mineralization of the properties, planned exploration programs,

anticipated permitting and production timetables, and the prospective nature of the Company’s projects. Generally, forward-looking information can

be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,

“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases that state that certain

actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements are based on

management’s expectations and reasonable assumptions at the time such statements are made. Estimates regarding the anticipated timing,

amount and cost of exploration and development activities are based on assumptions underlying mineral resource estimates and the realization of

such estimates are set out herein. Capital and operating cost estimates are based on historical research of the Corporation and external

consultants, which needs to be updated. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that

may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or

implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: general business, economic, competitive, geopolitical and social

uncertainties; reliance on contractors; the actual results of current exploration activities; foreign operations risks; other risks of the mining industry

and those other risk factors that are described in the annual information form. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors

that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results

not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and

future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-

looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities

laws.

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 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 the sections.

b) A specific gravity of 2.75 was used for the Grota Seca (GS) and the Ouro Verde (OV) 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 45 historical core boreholes (8,190 metres) and 214 boreholes (61,284

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 55 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 279 core boreholes (85,155 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 within one time of the variogram range and informed from a

minimum of 2 boreholes using an elliptical search.

n) Inferred mineral resources include all mineralized blocks estimated during the first and second estimation runs using full

variogram ranges and blocks estimated within two times of the variogram range and informed from a minimum of 2

boreholes.

with a major shear zone and is

hosted in intense hydrothermally

altered rocks with close

association with disseminated

sulphides (py/apy):

Intense silicification with fine-

grained sulphide (mainly apy)
