Bellhaven has been informed by its Joint Venture partner Golden Cross Resources Ltd. (GGC:AS) of the initiation of a 1,000 meters drill program at the Los Hatillos Concession. The program is designed to test the Veta Blanca, Faustino and El Tiro gold vein targets. Golden Cross had completed an IP survey during Q1/2008 and the results warranted this drill program. Julio Benedetti, President & CEO had the following to say:

Completing the aerial photo survey covering the Cerro Chorcha project area is a milestone in the exploration history of Chorcha. This is the first time since its initial discovery over 40 years ago that this task has been achieved and those familiar with Chorcha do appreciate this accomplishment and the tremendous value it brings to this deposit and surround zones. This photo survey will allow, for the first time, BHV to produce a reliable and accurate topographic map, which is of great importance for further exploration of the known deposit area and the highly prospective zones nearby. The topo map, when completed will grately aid our geologic team in delivering the updated resource report and NI 43-101, which is expected to be released later this month.

The drill program started by Golden Cross at the Los Hatillos Gold Property is also a very positive step forward for this Property, which was the subject of a recently completed IP Survey.

This news release has been prepared under the supervision of Michael D. Druecker, Ph.D., P.Geo. who serves as the Qualified Person for this project under National Instrument 43-101.
