DESERT SUN INCREASES RESERVES AT JACOBINA BY
25% TO 1.5 MILLION OUNCES GOLD

DESERT SUN MINING CORP. (TSX:DSM, AMEX:DEZ) has increased mineral reserves by 25% through
an updated mineral reserve estimate for its Jacobina Mine (João Belo Zone), Morro do Vento Mine, Morro do
Vento Extension zone and Serra do Córrego zone. This increase is based on the updated estimates of Measured and
Indicated mineral resources released on December 20, 2005.

Proven and probable mineral reserves in the Jacobina Mine (João Belo Zone) are now 13,220,000 tonnes
grading 2.15 g Au/t containing 913,100 ounces of gold. Total Proven and Probable mineral reserves in all
zones are now 21,580,000 tonnes grading 2.18 g Au/t containing 1,510,000 ounces as summarized in Table 1
below. This is an increase of 310,000 ounces from the August 2005 reserve estimate (see press release
August 11, 2005).

This new reserve estimate is now being used in the Jacobina Mine development plan and increases mine life by over
three years. A pre-feasibility study is currently in progress for the Canavieiras Mine, which has the potential to
further increase reserves.

“This reserve increase represents another milestone in our growth plan as we head towards our target production of
250,000 ounces of gold in 2009,” commented Bruce Humphrey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Other
significant events coming up this year include completion of the Morro do Vento Extension pre-feasibility expansion
study and the Canavieiras pre-feasibility study, both of which have the potential to make significant contributions to
our reserves.”

“The 25% increase to 913,100 ounces from the August 2005 estimate of 727,000 ounces in Proven and Probable
reserves for the Jacobina Mine – João Belo Zone – allows us to further extend the mine life of our primary ore zone,”
commented Peter Tagliamonte, Vice President, Operations and Chief Operating Officer. “This new estimate at João
Belo contains a contribution from the newly discovered FW (Footwall) Reef in the main ore zone. The exploration
drilling program at João Belo in 2005 outlined inferred mineral resources totaling 1,235,000 ounces and our
expectation is that a significant portion of this resource can eventually be upgraded to a reserve based on historical
and recent experience.”

• The mineral reserve estimate is set out in Table 1 below. The reserves were estimated using a gold price of US$400 per ounce and a block cutoff grade of 1.41 grams gold per tonne. Dilution and mining recovery rates appropriate for each zone were applied following established practices at the mine. Desert Sun has all operating permits in place for production. A NI 43-101 report on the updated mineral resources and mineral reserve estimate will be filed on SEDAR.

4	Desert Sun Mining mineral reserve estimate August 11, 2005 (reviewed by Devpro Mining Inc.) (see DSM Press Release August 11, 2005).
5	Totals have been rounded.

“Desert Sun has a proven track record of successfully converting approximately 75% of Inferred resources into
Indicated resources by further drilling,” commented Mr. Humphrey. “Based on operating experience, the conversion
rate of Measured and Indicated resources to Proven and Probable reserves is typically about 75%.”

Assaying for the drilling program which defined the new indicated mineral resources in the Morro do Vento Extension
zone was carried out by Lakefield Geosol, an ISO 9001, 2000 laboratory based in Brazil, using fire assay on 50
gram pulps. Check assaying is routinely carried out, by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, on 10% of sample pulps and
5% of sample rejects. Independent standard reference samples are also inserted at regular intervals into each batch
of analyses. Security is maintained at the core logging and sampling facility. Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. is the Qualified
Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the scientific and technical work on the
exploration program.

Assaying for the production drilling and channel sampling at the Jacobina Mine (João Belo zone) was carried out at
the mine site laboratory which is an independent laboratory operated for the Jacobina mine by SGS Lakefield
Geosol, an ISO 9001, 2000 laboratory based in Brazil, using fire assay on 50 gram pulps. Blanks, duplicates and
independent standard reference samples are inserted at regular intervals into each batch of analyses. The mine
laboratory uses the full SGS QA/QC protocols and participates in regular intra-laboratory checks. Security is
maintained at the core logging and sampling facility. Peter Tagliamonte, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person as defined
under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for all mining and engineering work at the Jacobina Mine. Dr. Bill
Pearson, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the
geoscientific and technical work.

The Measured and Indicated resource estimate upon which these new reserve estimates are based was reviewed and
confirmed by Terry Hennessey, P.Geo. of Micon International. Mr. Hennessey, who is an independent qualified
person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 as reported in the press release dated December 20, 2005. The
resource estimation methodology and classification used is the same as outlined in the August 2003 report by Mr.
Hennessey filed on SEDAR. The updated mineral reserve estimate was completed by the DSM Mining Group at
Jacobina under the direction of Mr. Tagliamonte, P.Eng., who is a Qualified Person, as defined by National
Instrument 43-101. An NI 43-101 compliant report on the mineral reserves and mineral resources will be filed on
SEDAR following the issue of this press release.

Combination of Yamana and Desert Sun Creates

Leading Intermediate Gold Producer.

Toronto, Ontario, February 22, 2006– Yamana Gold Inc. (Yamana) (TSX:YRI;
AMEX:AUY; LSE (AIM):YAU)and Desert Sun Mining Inc. (DSM)(TSX: DSM;AMEX:DEZ)
today announced a transaction which provides that Yamana will acquire all of
the outstanding common shares of DSM in exchange for Yamana common shares.
DSM shareholders will receive 0.6 of a Yamana common share for each DSM
common share held. Based on the 5-Day weighted average of Yamana’s share
price, the transaction price is C$5.47 per DSM common share, representing a
premium of 21.1% over the 5-Day weighted average price of DSM’s common
shares. DSM owns the long-life Jacobina gold mine in Bahia, Brazil near
Yamana’s Fazenda Brasileiro mine and its C1 Santa Luz pre-feasibility
project.

The transaction results in Yamana becoming a leading intermediate gold
producer with the following profile:

• Estimated annualized gold production of 450,000 ounces in 2006 increasing to 700,000 ounces in 2007 and to more than 800,000 ounces in 2008 from operating mines and mines under construction (includes expansion plan for Jacobina Mine proposed by Desert Sun and excludes near development stage projects held by Yamana)
• Total resource base of approximately 11.6 million ounces of measured and indicated resources plus inferred resources of approximately 6.1 million ounces
• Proven and probable reserves of approximately 7.6 million gold ounces (included in above measured and indicated resource total above)
• Proven and probable copper reserves of approximately 2.3 billion pounds
• Cash costs projected at US$270 per ounce of gold in 2006, with US$125 and US$115 per ounce of gold projected for 2007 and 2008, respectively
• One of the largest Brazilian exploration land holdings with a significant presence in three major gold belts

The transaction provides the following anticipated benefits to Yamana and DSM
shareholders:

• Creates an intermediate gold producer with one of the largest production growth profiles
• Increases operational strength and management depth
• Facilitates operational and administrative synergies
• Results in a company with further growth potential from existing development-stage assets and better positioned to take advantage of additional acquisitions
• Broadens shareholder base and increases share liquidity

The transaction is accretive to Yamana in terms of net asset value and
longer-term earnings and cash flow per share. DSM shareholders will benefit
from an attractive premium and the opportunity to participate in the future
growth of the combined company.

Increased Profile

Peter Marrone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yamana said, “In our
strategic vision which we articulated in late 2005, our goal was to produce
750,000 ounces of gold by 2008. With this acquisition, we will exceed that
goal. As a result of this increased production profile and with the
advancement of our development-stage or near development-stage assets, we are
now targeting production of 1.0 million ounces by 2008. The purchase of
Desert Sun adds a large-scale, long-life operation to Yamana’s existing
operations. The Jacobina Mine is near our existing operations in the State
of Bahia in Brazil. The resulting synergies created by combining the
Jacobina Mine with our existing operations in Bahia are tremendous. Further,
the addition of the 150-km long Bahia Gold Belt’s exploration potential will
contribute to further growth. With the new production profile, Yamana will be
one of the largest intermediate producers with projected future cash costs
among the lowest in the industry. Our combined market capitalization is well
below that of our peers and so we see significant upside value in the shares
of the combined company.”

Bruce Humphrey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Desert Sun said,
“From the perspective of a Desert Sun shareholder, the transaction provides
an attractive premium while still maintaining significant upside exposure.
Further, it provides diversification from being a one-mine company and it
combines the strength of two respected operating teams. We are confident
that Yamana’s shares represent good value and that we will participate in the
upside through share ownership in the combined company.”

Summary of the Transaction

The acquisition of DSM will be completed by way of a court approved Plan of
Arrangement whereby each DSM common share will be exchanged for 0.6 of a
Yamana common share. All DSM options and warrants will become exercisable
for common shares of Yamana based on the exchange ratio. As a result of the
proposed transaction, the combined company will be held approximately 76% by
existing Yamana shareholders and 24% by existing DSM shareholders. The total
number of Yamana common shares outstanding would be approximately 262.1
million, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to Yamana’s previously
announced acquisition of RNC Gold Inc. The transaction values DSM at
approximately US$500 million on a non-diluted basis.

2

The acquisition has the unanimous approval of the Boards of Directors of
Yamana and DSM. The Board of Directors of DSM, having received the unanimous
recommendation of a special committee of directors, is recommending that
holders of DSM common shares vote in favour of the transaction. GMP
Securities L.P. provided an opinion to the special committee of the board of
directors of DSM that the business combination is fair, from a financial
point of view, to the holders of common shares of DSM.

Yamana has agreed with DSM that Bruce Humphrey (DSM President and CEO) and
Stan Bharti (DSM Chairman) will join its board of directors. It is expected
that Yamana’s management team will be supplemented with the addition of
certain officers from DSM to whom Yamana intends to extend offers of
employment.

Commenting on management, Peter Marrone said, “We have a very capable
management team and we welcome new additions to that team. The operational
depth of the company will increase and better position us for further
growth.”

The transaction is subject to all requisite regulatory and court approvals,
third party consents and other conditions customary in transactions of this
nature. The combination must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes
cast by shareholders of DSM at a meeting of holders of common shares of DSM.
The shareholder meeting is expected to be held on March 31, 2006, with the
transaction anticipated to close shortly thereafter.

If the combination does not occur under certain circumstances, DSM has agreed
to pay Yamana a break-fee of C$21.5 million.

Yamana’s financial advisor is National Bank Financial Inc. DSM’s financial
advisor is Sprott Securities Inc. and its special committee of directors is
being advised by GMP Securities L.P.
