Standard & Poor's announced today that it has commenced Factual Stock Report coverage on Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc.

Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc. (TSX:BHV) is an exploration stage company that engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties, primarily gold and copper in the Republic of Panama. It holds interests in the Rio Liri concession in the Veraguas province; and the Azuero project consisting of the Pitaloza concession and the Juncal, San Sebastian, and Santa Clara concession applications in the Herrera and Los Santos Provinces.

In addition, it has applied for a Consession Covering the Cerro Caballo and the Cerro Loro gold prospects in the Veraguas and Chiriqui Provinces of western Panama.

Cerro Chorcha is a porphyry copper prospect located in the western cordillera of Panama, roughly 40 kilometers west of the world-class Cerro Colorado porphyry copper deposit. Cerro Chorcha contains an inferred resource (NI 43-101 compliant category) of 1.4 billion lbs. of copper and 255,000 ounces of gold. Trenching samples have returned additional mineralization at an average of 0.66 g/t gold over 585 meters.

Hydrothermal alteration and copper mineralization at Cerro Chorcha covers no less than 2.5 square kilometers and consists of pervasive silicification, phyllic alteration, quartz stockwork veining, and local potassic alteration (secondary biotite). Copper mineralization (chalcopyrite and bornite) is associated with abundant magnetite (2% to 4% in phyllic altered rock, 10% to 15% in quartz stockworks) and lesser pyrite.

This report will also be accessible on an ongoing basis to the investment community ---- scores of buy-side institutions and sell-side firms that utilize S&P research and information platforms daily. Millions of self-directed investors also have access to the report via their e-brokerage accounts.
