Bell Copper Corporation reported that drilling at hole BS-4 has reached a depth of 1200 meters (4000 feet) on the Company's 100% owned Big Sandy porphyry copper project. The project is targeting a large, truncated porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit in northwestern Arizona. Big Sandy drillhole BS-4 wedging through casing at 1200 meters following drilling challenges.

BS-4 targets porphyry bedrock at 1280 meters (4200 feet). BS-4 collared 900 meters from BS-3, which cut 200 meters of chalcocite-bearing porphyry. The Company continues to advance drillhole BS-4 at the Big Sandy porphyry.

Hole BS-4 is following up on the previous drill hole, BS-3, which had an intersection of 200 meters of chalcOCite-bearing porphyry. BS-4 is being drilled approximately 900 meters from the previous BS-3 drill site. The hole is currently cased to a depth of 1200 meters (4200 feet), and efforts are underway to wedge through casing to test bedrock at an estimated depth of 1280 meters (4200 feet); Drilling challenges have slowed the progress of the hole.

Gravel that has been drilled in the lower part of BS-4 contained scattered occurrences of native copper, sparse native silver, and angular chalcocite- bearing clasts. Once the BS-4 step-out test of the chalcocite blanket drilled in BS-3 is completed, the upper cased interval of BS-4 will be used to deflect additional penetrations of any chalcocite interval seen in BS-4.
