The company’s updates center on drilling progress, joint venture developments, and scientific studies related to its Big Sandy and Perseverance projects.
News releases from Bell Copper describe step-out and follow-up drilling at the 100% owned Big Sandy Porphyry Copper Project in northwestern Arizona, including detailed reports on holes such as BS-3 and BS-4, drilling challenges in thick gravel cover, and observations of chalcocite-bearing porphyry, native copper, native silver and other mineralized clasts. Investors following BCUFF news can also read about metallurgical testing of drill intersections and interpretations of supergene and hypogene copper enrichment within the porphyry system.
At the Perseverance Porphyry Copper Project, held under a Joint Venture – Earn In with Cordoba Minerals Corp., Bell Copper’s news covers drilling results from holes like K-20, K-22 and K-23, evidence for a nearby porphyry system, and amendments to the earn-in terms that govern Cordoba’s path to a larger project interest. These items provide context on how exploration decisions and funding commitments are evolving.
Another recurring theme in Bell Copper’s news is its participation in government-backed critical minerals research. Releases detail how the Arizona Geological Survey and the University of Arizona, with USGS and State of Arizona funding, are studying Big Sandy core to evaluate copper, molybdenum, rhenium, antimony and other critical elements.

Readers interested in copper exploration, Arizona porphyry systems and critical minerals can use this page to follow Bell Copper’s ongoing technical and corporate developments.
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.
