PANAMA CITY, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc. (TSX-Venture: BHV) ("Bellhaven" or the "Company") in conjunction with its joint venture partner Dominion Minerals Corp. (OTC: EMPL), (formally known as Empire Minerals Corp.), is pleased to announce the completion of the drill program at the Cerro Chorcha Copper Project. The eleven holes, totaling 3,615.80 meters, have been completed and all holes encountered mineralization in the form of stockwork veining, breccias, and disseminations. The Company is eagerly anticipating the lab results so it can begin its geological analysis, update its N.I. 43-101 resource estimate, and begin field work in preparation for the next drill campaign at Chorcha (which should commence in early 2008).

So far the companies have released results for 3 of the 11 holes and are in possession of preliminary copper and gold results for holes 4 and 5; however are still waiting on multiple samples that returned greater than 1% copper as those samples require an additional testing method to produce specific copper percentages over 1%. Once the Companies have received the final assays, they will publish the complete results for either or both holes depending on when they are received.

Julio Benedetti, President and CEO of Bellhaven, had this to say:

"We are very pleased to have successfully concluded the phase one drill program at Cerro Chorcha and are anxious to receive complete results so that we may begin planning for the future. Because of severe delays caused by an unusually high amount of volume at Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, we have decided to utilize a different analytical service (SGS Laboratories Peru) in order to expedite the reception of results from holes 7-11. We are eager to release the results from each hole as they are received."

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. Sample protocol used at the project includes standards, duplicates and blanks for each sample shipment.
