Bell Copper Corporation (BCUFF) is a mineral exploration company focusing on large copper deposits in Arizona. The company owns the Big Sandy porphyry copper project, actively contributing core samples for geological research. The partnership with the Arizona Geological Survey aims to assess critical mineral resources in Arizona, emphasizing porphyry systems like Diamond Joe and Big Sandy. The collaboration seeks to determine the potential for critical minerals like rhenium and rare earth elements in copper deposits. Bell Copper remains committed to advancing its projects, such as Big Sandy and Perseverance, under joint ventures. The recent drilling activities and agreements reflect the company's dedication to exploring and discovering valuable mineral resources.
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.
