Bell Copper Corporation reports that drilling has recommenced on the Company's 100% owned Big Sandy porphyry copper project, a large, truncated porphyry copper- molybdenum project located in northwestern Arizona, approximately 30 kilometers from the Company's Perseverance Project. The Company is following up on the previous drill hole, BS-3 which had an intersection of 200 meters of chalcocite-bearing porphyry. The Company has constructed a new drill pad approximately 900 meters from the previous BS-3 drill site.

Initial drilling to bedrock will be completed with an angle capable mud rotary drill, followed by core drilling into bedrock.
