Bell Copper Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Convertible Debenture Financing with Crescat Capital LLC

Crescat Financing Secures Survival Runway Amidst Dilution Concerns

Executive Summary
  • Bell Copper Corporation closed a non-brokered convertible debenture financing of C$2,052,000 with Crescat Capital LLC on May 14, 2026.
  • The financing consists of secured debentures paying 10% interest compounded annually.
  • Conversion terms are set at C$0.08 per share until May 14, 2027, and C$0.10 thereafter.
  • Detachable warrants totaling 25,650,000 units were issued with an exercise price of C$0.13.
  • Proceeds are designated for the Big Sandy Porphyry Copper Project drilling program and working capital.
  • This transaction follows a March 2026 announcement and amendment regarding similar terms, confirming execution of previously disclosed plans.
Material Impact
  • The closing confirms liquidity necessary to resume exploration at the Big Sandy project, specifically targeting the BS-4 hole mentioned in October 2025 updates.
  • While positive for operational continuity, the financing was anticipated following the March announcement and amendment, limiting immediate surprise upside.
  • Dilution risk remains significant with warrants representing approximately 19% of current outstanding shares at exercise price C$0.13.
  • The secured nature of the debentures (General Security Agreement on all assets) restricts future financing flexibility compared to unsecured instruments.
  • Insider participation by Crescat Capital signals management confidence but does not alter the fundamental exploration risk profile.
