Welcome to our dedicated page for Bell Copper news (Ticker: BCUFF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Bell Copper stock.
Bell Copper Corp reports exploration and project-development news tied to porphyry copper assets in Arizona. The company's recurring updates focus on its 100% owned Big Sandy copper-molybdenum project in northwestern Arizona, including drilling progress, core observations, critical-mineral sampling, and research by the Arizona Geological Survey and University of Arizona.
Bell Copper also reports developments at the Perseverance porphyry copper project, which is held through a joint venture and earn-in structure, along with corporate governance items such as board changes and stock-option grants.
Bell Copper (TSXV: BCU, OTCQB: BCUFF) and partner Cordoba Minerals approved a 2026 exploration program at the Perseverance Copper Project in Arizona, totaling US$1.7 million and up to 1,700m of drilling. Cordoba has completed its 51% earn-in, establishing a 51/49 joint venture with Bell Copper.
The 2026 program will deepen three existing Rio Tinto drill holes (K-23, K-19, K-13) to test for sulphide and supergene copper enrichment. Bell Copper will fund 49% of the budget and is separately drilling hole K-24 at its own cost to test stacked geophysical and structural targets.
Bell Copper (OTCQB: BCUFF) announced that the Arizona Geological Survey at the University of Arizona, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the State of Arizona, has begun a new study at the Big Sandy porphyry copper project to assess potential critical mineral resources.
Bell is contributing drill core samples; initial systematic sampling of the supergene profile is complete. Big Sandy core records a continuous transition from leached capping to supergene blanket and contains copper, rhenium, and silver, all on the USGS 2025 Draft List of Critical Minerals. A prior University of Arizona thesis supports a genetic link to the Diamond Joe pluton 13 km west.
Bell is seeking funding to resume and complete drilling of BS-4 (suspended August 2024), planned to reach bedrock with rotatory drilling followed by coring; BS-3 previously intersected 200 m of chalcocite-bearing porphyry.
Bell Copper (BCUFF) provided an update on the three-year research program at its Big Sandy porphyry copper project in Arizona. The research, conducted by Arizona Geological Survey and University of Arizona, focuses on critical minerals including copper, molybdenum, rhenium, and antimony. Key findings from drill core BS-3 show evidence of primary copper mineralization and hypogene copper enrichment. Research confirms that Big Sandy's characteristics are compatible with an outer mineralized shell of a porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. The company has extended its permit to drill eight additional holes through October 2025 at the BS-4 site and is seeking strategic financing from major copper miners to resume drilling operations.
Bell Copper (TSXV: BCU) (OTCQB: BCUFF) has temporarily suspended drilling operations on hole BS-4 at its 100% owned Big Sandy porphyry copper project in northwestern Arizona. The company is seeking additional funding through strategic investments from major copper producers to continue exploration. Despite not reaching bedrock, encouraging mineralized gravel clasts including chalcocite, native copper, and native silver were observed in BS-4.
The previous drill hole, BS-3, intersected 200 meters grading 0.42% copper and 2.4 g/t silver. Bell Copper is working to extend drill permits for eight additional holes through October 2025. The Arizona Geological Survey and University of Arizona are studying Big Sandy drill cores to assess critical elements supply, with findings to be presented at the Geological Society of America meeting in September 2024.
