Luna Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LGC)(LMA:LGC)(OTCQX:LGCUF) ("Luna Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive assay results from the initial deep drill program at the Piaba gold deposit, Aurizona. The program was conducted to extend the depth of the Piaba mineralized structure beneath the limit of the 2011 resource estimate and to identify high-grade gold targets at depth in the system. Program objectives have been met and an updated drill plan map and three dimensional Corebox model showing the drill hole locations in the deposit have been uploaded to the Luna Gold website at www.lunagold.com or to view directly click below. Significant intercepts: -- 26.00 metres @ 1.94 g/t Au including 2.00 metres @ 5.74 g/t Au and 2.00 meters @ 6.09 g/t Au in BRAZD438 (Section 0400E) -- 13.00 metres @ 4.89 g/t Au including 1.50 meters @ 25.10 g/t Au and 0.50 meters @ 10.45 g/t Au in BRAZD436 (Section 0100W) Luna Gold's President & CEO, John Blake, comments, "The initial deep drill program has produced very encouraging results extending the Piaba orebody to depths of over 600 metres vertical depth. The Piaba remains open along a 3.3 kilometre strike and at depth. All holes intersected down-dip extensions to the main deposit. The results from these six widely spaced exploration holes consolidate Piaba as a major mineralizing system. Several holes intersected high-grade mineralization confirming our deposit model and future programs will focus on vectoring towards higher grade potential underground targets. The results further demonstrate the major resource expansion potential of Aurizona which currently contains Measured and Indicated gold resources totaling 78.0 Mt at 1.26 g/t Au or 3.17 million ounces gold and Inferred gold resources totaling 15.2 Mt at 1.47 g/t Au or 0.72 million ounces gold." Today's assay results are for six drill holes totaling 3,950 metres drilled on six sections covering a three kilometre strike length of the Piaba deposit. Drill hole spacing ranges from 300 metres to 900 metres along strike. All holes intersected the down-dip extension of the Piaba orebody with strong hydrothermal alteration characterized by graphite, silica, and sulfide though the mineralized zone. Piaba is a large and deep seated orogenic gold deposit containing high-grade cross-cutting structures hosted within a major shear zone. Significant mineralized intercepts from holes drilled across the deposit are tabulated below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- START END DEPTH DEPTH FROM TO INT AU (G/T) SECTION HOLE ID AZI DIP (M) (M) (M) (M) (M) UNCAPPED ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No Intercepts greater than 1.00 1100E BRAZD439 168 -70 600.40 g/t Au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0400E BRAZD438 168 -77 0.00 640.73 558.00 584.00 26.00 1.94 Including 561.00 563.00 2.00 5.74 And 570.00 572.00 2.00 6.09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0100W BRAZD436 168 -70 0.00 682.90 564.00 576.00 12.00 1.12 594.00 630.00 36.00 1.40 Including 606.00 607.00 1.00 7.33 642.00 654.00 12.00 2.09 Including 643.00 646.00 3.00 4.98 658.00 671.00 13.00 4.89 Including 659.00 660.50 1.50 25.10 And 670.50 671.00 0.50 10.45 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0700W BRAZD435 168 -70 0.00 776.54 602.00 603.00 1.00 4.11 665.50 669.00 3.50 1.55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1000W BRAZD434 168 -70 0.00 594.46 436.00 452.00 16.00 1.88 Including 443.00 444.00 1.00 6.22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1900W BRAZD437 168 -75 0.00 655.16 528.00 534.00 6.00 1.02 554.00 559.00 5.00 2.13 Including 554.00 556.00 2.00 3.81 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 1.

Luna is a gold production and exploration company engaged in the operation, exploration and development of gold deposits and advanced stage gold exploration projects in Brazil. On behalf of the Board of Directors LUNA GOLD CORP. John Blake, President and CEO Regulatory Footnotes Luna operates a rigorous QA/QC protocol on all aspects of sampling and analytical procedure. Drill core is checked, logged, marked for sampling and sawn in half. One half of the HQ diameter core is maintained for future reference and one half of the core is sent for analysis. For the six drill holes contained in this release core diameter was reduced to NQ below 400 m core depth. Samples are collected at approximately 2 metre intervals, which is reduced to 1 metre intervals or less when a mineralized zone is encountered. All core and samples are stored in secure locked areas under Luna supervision. Samples are transported from the Aurizona project to the ALS Chemex sample preparation facility in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais and Goiania, Goias accompanied by Luna personnel. Samples are assayed at ALS Chemex Labs in Lima, Peru and Perth, Australia using a 50 gram fire assay with AAS finish. Some samples are transported from the Aurizona project to the ACME Labs sample preparation facility in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso and Goiania, Goias accompanied by Luna personnel. Samples are assayed at ACME Labs in Santiago, Chile using a 50 gram fire assay with AAS finish. Both ACME Labs and ALS Chemex are international laboratories and are independent of Luna. Each sample batch contains 10% of randomly inserted internal control samples consisting of certified analytical standards, blanks (barren rock) and duplicates. These QA/QC procedures provide several measures of data quality and assure the Company that the assay data is representative of the original sample. Additional technical information about the Aurizona Project is available in our technical report dated January 23, 2012, filed on SEDAR.
