Happy Creek samples 7.43% WO(3) at Fox tungsten property

21.11.2018  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, November 21, 2018 - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the "Company"), is providing results of further work completed in 2018 on its 100% owned Fox tungsten property in south central B.C., Canada.

Following up on prospecting work completed in 2017, in late September 2018 several days of geological work focussed to the south of the existing Ridley Creek deposit, a calc-silicate-hosted tungsten skarn. In this area, three definable layers of calc-silicate rock occur that are estimated to be up to 30 metres in thickness but are poorly exposed or buried under shallow soil and talus. This favorable geology was carefully followed, and soil or talus locally cleared off with hand tools to confirm continuity along strike and expose bedrock for chip sampling.

The mineralized sample widths are open due to the gentle dip of the calc silicate unit and soil/talus cover which limited the ability to expose the full thickness of bedrock using hand tools. Samples 6 and 7 are vertically oriented chip samples on a small cliff approximately 25 metres south of previous trenches at the Ridley Creek deposit. These samples together represent approximately 3.15 metres averaging 0.61% W03 and the mineralized zone is open in width and on strike to the south. This portion of the Ridley Creek deposit remains untested by drilling.

The other samples collected are located between 100 and 240 metres south of the Ridley Creek resource. Samples returned values up to 7.43% W03, 0.43% zinc and drilling is required to test the total thickness and extent of these at-surface mineralized zones. Results continue to return positive and high-grade tungsten values in a near-surface setting between the Ridley Creek and BN resources that are approximately one km apart.

The Company also announces that forestry activities include a bridge over Deception Creek with plans to construct road access and operations up the southwest side of Deception Mountain to within approximately 4 km of the BN zone. These recent developments will not only bring road access much closer to the Company's existing resources, but also to the western side of the project area where no previous exploration has been performed. On October 18th, two samples of stream sediment (not pan concentrates) collected from creeks draining the west side of Deception mountain showed significant visible scheelite (tungsten mineral) under UV light and is a positive indication that a new area of tungsten skarn occurs on the property.

About the Fox tungsten property

The Fox is a new discovery located 75 km northeast of 100 Mile House, B.C. Happy Creek first discovered high grade tungsten over significant width by drilling in 2011. The project now has a resource with 582,400 tonnes (indicated) grading 0.826% WO3 and 565,000 tonnes (inferred) grading 1.231% WO3. These resources are from primarily two deposits that remain open and are among the highest grade in the western world. The project holds six significant at-surface tungsten zones within an area 10 km by 3 km in dimension.
