Marketwired Canada
Bell Copper Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BCU) announces that events
of default have occurred under the secured term credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") provided to Rogue River Resources Corp. ("Rogue River"), the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, by Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") and
related agreements. The events of default include the incurrence of trade
indebtedness in excess of the limit specified under the Credit Facility, failure
to obtain the required permits relating to iron ore activities on the Company's
La Balsa project and failure to deliver a bankable feasibility study in respect
of the La Balsa project within the time limits specified under the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by a charge over the Company's La Balsa
project.
As a result of the foregoing events of default, Macquarie may give notice to
Rogue River declaring the amounts owing under the Credit Facility to be
forthwith due and payable. The Company has not received such notice as of the
date of this news release.
The Company intends to pursue good faith efforts to negotiate with Macquarie a
mutually satisfactory resolution with respect to the events of default. The
Company is also currently in discussions with a number of interested parties
regarding potential strategic transactions with respect to the La Balsa
property, and continues to evaluate strategic opportunities regarding the
Company's other assets.
