TRANSCRIPT
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 Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2013 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 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), the scientific and technical information contained in this news release pertaining to the Project has been reviewed and approved by the following
Qualified Persons under NI 43-101 who consent to the inclusion of their names in this release: Dr. Jean-Francois Couture, PGeo and Dr. Oy Leuangthong, P.Eng (Mineral Resource), of SRK
Consulting (Canada) Inc., Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng (Mining and Author Technical Report), and Lyn Jones P. Eng (Metallurgy and Process), of AGP Mining Consultants Inc, each of whom are
independent of Belo Sun. Belo Sun used the October 2013 mineral resource estimate. The PEA is preliminary in nature, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. 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 is expected
to average 1.14 g/t gold with an average cut-off 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.
