FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LUNA GOLD’S FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE AURIZONA GOLD PROJECT, BRAZIL, DUE Q1 2008

Vancouver, June 4, 2007 – Luna Gold Corp. (TSXV-LGC, OTCBB-LGCU) (“Luna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the feasibility work at its Aurizona gold project in Brazil is proceeding on schedule with completion forecast in early Q1 2008.

Jim Bahan, Luna’s COO, comments: “We managed to hit the ground running due to the amount of technical work that was already available, but in such a tight market, we have been fortunate to put together a first rate project team. As a result of the in-depth site re-examination underway, a number of beneficial project scope changes have been identified and incorporated into the study.”

The geologic and open-pit mine plan study was awarded to Gemcom Brazil. Gemcom is recalculating the resources at Aurizona, based on almost 200 diamond and reverse circulation holes, and is developing new geologic and pit models  This work, planned for completion this month, will be the basis of an updated report to the Mines Department.  Approximately 3600m of further definition drilling are planned, starting in the coming quarter, and the resource models will be updated on the basis of those results.

Luna has hired John Clark as its consulting metallurgist.  Mr. Clark has many years of experience in Latin America and recently retired as the in-house consultant to Rio Tinto, where he was primarily responsible for the metallurgical optimization of the Paracatu gold mine, an 18Mtpy operation grading 0.45g/t gold and currently undergoing a major expansion to produce around 680k ounces per year. The Piaba deposit, the main mineralized zone at Aurizona, has striking metallurgical similarities to Paracatu.

Mr. Clark pilot-plant tested Yamana’s Chapada copper-gold project leading to its recent very successful implementation (40 kt/d grading 0.4% Cu and 0.3g/t gold). In addition, he has worked on a number of gold and tin ventures within the Amazon basin and brings a wealth of practical experience. At Aurizona, extensive metallurgical testwork had been carried out previously. That work has been reviewed and validated and current work is aimed at specific parts of the process flowsheet for detailed design purposes.

The contract for the engineering studies, including plant, infrastructure, and support services, has been awarded to Info Design, an engineering design and construction management group with headquarters in Itabira, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Info Design’s recent contracts include CVRD’s 24 Mtpy Brucutu mine where it was responsible for the electro-mechanical construction and the provision of field engineering services to the managing contractor; and the MPBA gold mine in Amapa, where it provided personnel to support the in-house management team, as well as the mechanical and civil engineering design and construction.

An environmental impact study for the Aurizona operations was completed by previous operators, in 1995, based on a gravity treatment process. Following meetings with the environmental authorities, it was agreed that the earlier study could serve as the basis for current permitting applications, provided supplementary reports are submitted that address the changes to site conditions, mine plan and process, or permitting legislation, from the time of the previous study to the present.

Jim Bahan concludes: “Our decision to headquarter our operations out of Sao Luis, Maranhão has proved advantageous, since it allows our team ready contact with the State government authorities and utility companies that have an influence on our work.”
