NEWS RELEASE Bell Copper Company

Bell Copper Announces Warrant Extension

VANCOUVER, B.C. - Bell Copper Corporation (TSX.V: BCU) (OTCQB: BCUFF) ("Bell Copper" or the "Company") announces that it proposes to extend by an additional twelve (12) months, the expiry date of 2,868,550 share purchase warrants, originally issued January 30, 2024 (the "Warrants") in connection with a non-brokered private placement. These Warrants are exercisable into 2,868,550 common shares and shall remain at an exercise price of $0.12 per share. All other terms of the Warrants will remain the same. The application to extend the expiry dates on the Warrants is subject to the acceptance of the TSX-V, and the Company makes no assurances that the required acceptance for the extension of the term of the Warrants will be granted.

A total of 50,000 Warrants are held by an insider of the Company, who is considered to be a "related party" of the Company. Therefore, the amendment of the Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the Warrants held by the insider does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

About Bell Copper Bell Copper is a mineral exploration company focused on the identification, exploration and discovery of large copper deposits located in Arizona. Bell Copper is exploring its 100% owned Big Sandy Porphyry Copper Project and the Perseverance Porphyry Copper Project which is under a Joint Venture - Earn In.
