Good News!Bell Copper Drills Copper Sulfide in Porphyry at Big Sandy Wed, February 2, 2022, 6:44 AM Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2022) - Bell Copper Corporation (TSXV: BCU) (OTCQB: BCUFF) ("Bell Copper" or the "Company") reports that it has drilled a supergene chalcocite (copper sulfide) deposit hosted by quartz porphyry at its Big Sandy project. Big Sandy is a large, truncated porphyry copper-molybdenum target located in northwestern Arizona, approximately 30 kilometers south of the Company's Perseverance Project. Highlights BS-3 is now cutting chalcocite-pyrite mineralization in pervasively sericitized quartz porphyry cut by pyrite and quartz +/- molybdenite veinlets at an inclined depth of 1589 meters. Disseminated chalcocite mineralization began at an inclined depth of 1303 meters beneath 111 meters of hematitic leached capping. The 179-meter chalcocite-bearing interval from 1293-1472m has been sampled and shipped to the laboratory for copper assaying. Geological logging, sawing, and sampling of the chalcocite-bearing interval from 1472-1589 meters is underway. Drilling of BS-3 continues, and is encountering sparse but increasing quantities of disseminated chalcopyrite, which is variably coated by chalcocite. Drilling and Analysis Drillhole BS-3, which was oriented to test a 2400 meter by 2100 meter area of high electrical conductivity that was detected in an earlier Magnetotelluric survey (refer to news release dated October 6, 2020), passed out of gravel and into hematite-rich, pervasively sericitized quartz porphyry (i.e. "leached capping") at an inclined depth of 1192 meters. The true thickness of the gravel layers penetrated by BS-3 at an oblique angle is estimated to be 860 meters. Disseminated chalcocite (copper sulfide) and pyrite was first encountered at an inclined depth of 1303 meters, immediately beneath leached capping. Chalcocite variably overprints predominantly pyritic mineralization from inclined depths of 1303m to at least 1589m, the current bottom of BS-3 (Figures A through C). Chalcocite mineralization in this 286-meter interval is interrupted by spotty jarosite-bearing shear zones lacking pyrite and chalcocite. No copper oxide minerals have been encountered in the ongoing intersection
