Bell Copper Corporation Profile

Value through Production and Discovery

Bell Copper is focused on the development to production of the La Balsa copper mine in Michoacan, Mexico & the Granduc copper mine in British Columbia, Canada while continuing exploration and development of its pipeline of copper projects in some of the world’s premier copper producing regions. For more information on Bell Copper: www.bellcopper.net

· Near-term production and Cash flow targeted for 2009

· World Class Technical Team with an expertise in copper porphyry deposits

· Advanced Exploration projects in some of the world’s premier copper producing regions

Development Properties

La Balsa Copper Mine, Michoacan, Mexico

  • Near term production targeted for 2009
  • NI43-101 Measured and Indicated Resource of + 194 million lbs. of Copper*
  • Significant Potential for Resource Expansion
  • Infrastructure in place (road, rail, water, power)
  • 2008 Work Plans: Definitive Feasibility

* La Balsa NI 43-101 Technical Report

Granduc Copper Mine, Stewart BC

  • Historical Producer of + 420 million lbs. of Cu
  • Historic Copper Resource* (Non NI43-101) remaining when mine closed due to historically low copper prices
  • Target: + 25-30 million tonnes at 1.80% Copper
  • 2008 Work Plans: Further Drilling and Tunnel Rehabilitation

*see May 20, 2005 NI43-101 Report. http://www.bellcopper.net/i/pdf/4310...

Other Exploration Assets

Kabba Project – Mohave County, Arizona – Cu/Mo

  • Porphyry Copper prospect located on the highly productive Copper Creek-Resolution-Bagdad porphyry trend near Kingman, Arizona
  • Phase I drilling suggests major Cu-Mo Porphyry System at Kabba
  • Next Phase: Phase II drilling (late 3rd quarter 2008) to test suspected underlying porphyry and potential economic mineralization

Sombrero Butte – Pinal County, Arizona – Cu

  • Target: 10-20 million tonnes of 1.5%-2.5% breccias copper ore with 200 to 300 million tonnes 1% Cu-Mo ore in underlying porphyry
  • Cluster of copper-bearing breccia pipes with suspected underlying porphyry copper system located in Pinal County, Arizona
  • 2006-2007 drilling identifies high grade copper in multiple breccias and intercepts porphyry intrusions
  • Next Phase: 2008 Drilling to expand breccias and test for suspected underlying Cu porphyry system

Superior West – Pinal County, Arizona – Cu

  • Targets: (1) faulted, down dropped western extension of high grade Magma vein system (2) deep seated, porphyry Cu related source for Magma vein mineralization
  • Two potential targets located in Pioneer Mining district, Pinal County, Arizona.
  • Both targets can be tested in a single drill program
  • Currently refining geological model based upon new subsurface information for Phase I drilling
  • Next Phase: drill program 2nd half 2008

Silver Bell – Pima County, Arizona – Cu

  • Targets: land position comprises 3 separate areas of known and suspected porphyry and skarn styles of mineralization in an under-explored portion of the district
  • Porphyry copper and related copper skarn targets located approximately 30 miles northwest of Tucson, Arizona in the Silver Bell mining district
  • District in continual production since ore discovery in 1865
  • Next Phase: 6-8 hole drill program in 2nd half 2008

Gryphon Summit – Eureka County, Nevada – Cu, Au

  • Target: Cu/Mo Porphyry and Au project located in the Union Summit and Sulphur Springs Range area of Eureka County in NE Nevada
  • Surface geology, geochemistry and geophysics indicate parallels with other giant porphyry Cu-Au-Mo systems in the western US, particularly Bingham Canyon in Utah and Resolution Copper in Arizona, as well as with Grasberg in Irian Jaya
  • Oxidized high sulfide veins with mineralogic and chemical similarities to the fissure veins of the Bingham district outline a footprint comparable to that of the Bingham district
  • Other aspects of the geochemistry and alteration strongly suggest the presence of Carlin style Au mineralization analogous to the Post and Rain Au deposits
  • Completed Phase I drill program, assays pending.
  • Next Phase: Phase II driliing in 2008

Apacheta – Region IV, Chile – Cu

  • Target: Cu porphyry target located in northernmost Chile, Tarapacá, along the northern projection of the West Fissure Zone.
  • The West Fissure Zone is noted for its location of world-class porphyry copper deposits
  • Apacheta hosts a large, untested aeromagnetic anomaly that may represent magnetite-destructive hydrothermal alteration related to a buried porphyry copper system.
  • Four holes have been previously drilled around the anomaly however each of the holes was drilled to a depth of 304 meters, and each failed to penetrate below the post-mineral cover. Exposures in the nearby canyon walls suggest that the post mineral cover is approximately 400 meters thick.
  • Next Phase: Phase I drilling is expected to begin in the second half of 2008.
