PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/28/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BHV) ('Bellhaven' or the 'Company') is pleased to report that the environmental impact assessment ('EIA') for a drilling program has been approved for its 100%-owned Pitaloza high-sulphidation epithermal gold project by the Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente ('ANAM', Panama's National Environmental Authority). The EIA represents an essential document required for a drilling program to commence.
Option Agreement Signed for Surface Rights Over a Portion of the Concession
PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/27/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BHV) ('Bellhaven' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that the Company's first drilling program in Colombia is now underway at its 100%-optioned La Mina porphyry gold-(copper) project. Bellhaven's drilling program of 2,000 m is focused on the outcropping La Cantera target, one of four porphyry gold targets clustered within a 1.5 km by 0.5 km zone, where past drilling yielded two near-surface intercepts of +1 g/t Au over 90+ m intercepts (see press release of May 17th).
PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/19/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc.

Mr. Drown has spent his entire career in mineral exploration participating in important discoveries
PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/15/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BHV) ('Bellhaven' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that continuous channel sampling at La Cantera, Bellhaven's primary porphyry gold prospect at La Mina, returned two series of channel samples containing substantial gold. The first sampled exposure contained 1.09 g/t Au over 22 m and occurs over the North Zone ('NZ') where Hole 5 cut 90 m @ 1.28 g/t Au across the NZ. The second exposure assayed 0.86 g/t Au over 14 m and is located between the NZ and the South Zone ('SZ'). The area between the NZ and the SZ was previously considered to be a barren zone separating the two gold zones. This new sample result suggests that the barren zone may be narrower than previously thought.
New Trenches Expose Feeder Zone With 4.36 g/t Au Over 18 m; Three Exploration Targets Now Recognized at Bejucosa
PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/08/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BHV) ('Bellhaven' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that widespread silicic and advanced-argillic (higher temperature) alteration-hallmark features of gold-bearing rocks associated with high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits-occur over the eastern portions (approx.250 m by 400 m) of the Bejucosa prospect at Pitaloza. This area has been largely un-sampled to date. In contrast, the western portions (approx.350 m by 400 m) are characterized by intermediate-argillic (lower temperature) alteration occurring outboard of gold-bearing feeder zones. Gold in the feeder zones is believed to be associated with silicic fragments transported upwards a minimum 75-m distance from depth. Trench A exposes such a feeder zone measuring 18-m wide and averaging 4.36 g/t Au. Three exploration gold targets are now apparent at Bejucosa: (1) silicic-altered rocks exposed in the eastern portion of the prospect; (2) silicic-altered rocks inferred at shallow depths in the western portion, and (3) feeder zones occurring throughout the western and eastern portions of the prospect.

Channel Samples Confirm Second Porphyry Gold Center at La Mina
PANAMA, REPUBLIC OF PANAMA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/24/10 -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BHV) ('Bellhaven' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that continuous channel sampling at a second porphyry gold center, the Middle Zone, returned two zones containing consistent gold values in the range of 0.4 to 1.0 g Au. The first sampled exposure contained 19 m @ 0.73 g/t Au and a second exposure contained 24 m @ 0.74 g/t Au (0.4 g/t Au cut off). These figures represent minimum lengths as each zone is open-ended. The two sampled exposures are separated by a 40-m long unexposed and unsampled area. More surface sampling is required to define the size and geometry of the upper regions of the Middle Zone, but a minimum radius of 80 m grading approximately 0.7 g/t Au is permissive assuming continuity between the two sampled exposures.
