Bell Copper Announces Results of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders

Toronto, Ontario -- Bell Copper Corporation ("Bell Copper" or the "Company") (TSX-V: BCU) announces that Messrs. Keith Droste, Richard Ternieden and Michael Werner were re-elected as directors and McGovern, Hurley, Cunningham, LLP was re-appointed as the Company's auditor at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held yesterday in Toronto. The proposed consolidation of Bell Copper's issued and outstanding common shares on a seven for one basis was not approved by shareholders and therefore will not be implemented. Management believes that it will be difficult for the Company to raise equity capital due to policies of the TSX Venture Exchange which restrict the Company from issuing shares at a price per share less than $0.05, which is a significant premium to the Company's current share price. As a result, management intends to continue to explore potential strategic transactions with respect to the Company's projects, as announced in the news release issued by the Company on June 21, 2012. About Bell Copper Bell Copper is a public company focused on the development and exploration of its copper assets in the Americas through internal efforts and via strategic partnerships.
