Drilling Begins at Fox River Project

Vancouver, B.C.: Bell Resources Corporation (TSXV: BL) ("Bell") is pleased to report that joint venture ("JV") partner, Callinan Mines Limited ("Callinan") has mobilized men and equipment to the Fox River property in Northern Manitoba near Gillam in preparation for a diamond drilling program.

This Phase II drill program will consist of at least 4,000 meters of drilling on targets in the vicinity of the Fox River Sill.

Modern airborne geophysical work has enabled the JV to discover new targets in the region that were previously undetected. An Airborne VTEM survey has helped define zones of conductivity and magnetism that could potentially characterize sulphide bodies at a range of depths.

The Fox River exploration program is operated by Callinan Mines under the supervision of Pat DeVeaux, P. Geol, Callinan's Chief Geological Consultant and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

About the Fox River Project

The Fox River land position has increased steadily since the initial acquisition in 2003. The Joint Venture currently holds 181,000 hectares of ground to the North and Northwest of the Fox River Sill. The property is held under joint venture with Callinan Mines. Fox River project is located on a structural extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt, host of several high grade nickel mines. It is postulated that the Fox River belt contains folded ultramafic structures similar to those found in Thompson.
