Drill Starts Turning at Kabba

Vancouver, British Columbia - Bell Copper Corporation ("Bell" or the "Company") (NEX: BCU.H) is pleased to report that on July 20, 2017, drilling began on Bell Copper Corporation's Kabba porphyry copper project in Arizona. The initial 2017 drill program will complete 4 to 8 holes to test significant IP electrical geophysical anomalies identified during the Quantec Geoscience surveys performed in November 2016. Holes are precollared to bedrock by Brown Drilling Company of Kingman, Az., with National Exploration, Wells & Pumps completing diamond drilling beneath the precollared holes. "As we announced on March 30, the drilling is taking place beyond the limits of previous drill testing by Bell. After a long journey, we are excited at the opportunity to demonstrate that the fruit of this search is commensurate with our hard work and our investors' patience."
