BELL COPPER ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF 2026 ANNUAL AND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

At Bell Copper Corp.'s annual and special general meeting of shareholders held by teleconference on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026 (the ASGM), a total of 46,407,872 shares were voted at the meeting, representing 32.058 per cent of the company's issued share capital.

At the ASGM, all incumbent directors, being Dr. Timothy Marsh, Ms. Annie Storey and Messrs. Jonathan Godbe, Mario Stifano and William Hart were reappointed to the Board. The company's Auditors, MNP, LLP, Chartered professional Accountants were reappointed as the independent Auditor of the company for the ensuing year.

Special business at the ASGM included seeking disinterested shareholder approval of an update to the company's current fixed stock option plan (the 2026 plan), which provides for minor changes including permitting the net exercise of options, adding language to address certain tax matters for U.S. optionees, certain other housekeeping amendments, as well as increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2026 plan from 23,809,847 to 28,952,072 shares. A majority of disinterested shareholders voted in favour of the updated 2026 plan.

A majority of disinterested shareholder votes also ratified and approved the previously announced grant of an aggregate of 4,992,225 incentive stock options on July 14, 2026, to insiders of the company, allowing insiders as a group holding in aggregate, inclusive of their prior options, a total number of options at the time of grant, which exceeded 10 per cent of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis.

As previously disclosed in the company's news release dated July 14, 2026, disinterested shareholders were also asked to approve by ordinary resolution, the creation of a new control person of the company, if Crescat Portfolio Management and certain of its related parties elects to convert any of the convertible debentures or exercises any of the warrants (issued to Crescat in the company's non brokered private placement financing which closed May 14, 2026), which results in their shareholdings being over 20 per cent of the company's issued share capital. A majority of disinterested shareholders voted in favour of the creation of a new control person.

All of the items approved at the ASGM are detailed in the company's management information circular dated July 15, 2026, which can be found either on the company's website or on SEDAR+.

Subsequent to the ASGM, directors reappointed the following officers of the company: Dr. Timothy Marsh as president and chief executive officer, Annie Storey as chief financial officer, and Pamela White as corporate secretary.

Perseverance drilling update

The company reports that drilling of hole K-24 is still continuing at its Perseverance porphyry copper exploration project in Arizona. The Perseverance project is a joint venture between Cordoba Minerals Corp. (51 per cent) and Bell Copper (49 per cent), with Cordoba Minerals acting as manager. Bell Copper is drilling hole K-24, at its discretion and cost, to test two distinct, stacked targets with a single drill hole. An upper target comprises the large magnetotelluric (MT) anomaly (Eastern MT anomaly) first identified in 2020. The lower target tests the same fault slip vector that yielded the chalcocite blanket intersection in BS-3 at Bell's Big Sandy project, 30 kilometres to the south.

Qualified person

The technical content of this release has been reviewed and approved by Timothy Marsh, PhD, PEng, the company's chief executive officer and president. No mineral resource has yet been identified on the Perseverance project. There is no certainty that the present exploration effort will result in the identification of a mineral resource or that any mineral resource that might be discovered will prove to be economically recoverable.
