Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the
“Company”) is providing an update on work being conducted on its 100% owned Fox tungsten property, located by road northeast of 100
Mile House, in south central British Columbia, Canada.
A program of geology, trenching and core drilling is underway at the Ridley Creek, BK and BN zones
as well as the new untested South Grid to upgrade and expand the project’s existing resource. Further to the News Release dated
September 26th 2016, the drill has moved to the BN zone where in 2012 hole
F12-27 intersected 4.1 metres of 1.78% WO3 at surface, 14.8 metres of 4.0% WO3 at 83 metres and 24.0 metres of 0.79% WO3 at 136
metres down-hole, respectively. The Company is pleased to return to the BN zone for additional drilling.
At this time, four relatively shallow holes (F16-17, 18,19 and 20) have been completed. These holes
have all intersected approximately 4-5 metres containing positive scheelite (tungsten mineral) except for hole F16-18 which cut
three metres of positive mineralization before the hole was lost in the mineralized zone. No assays are yet available for these
holes and the reader is cautioned that visual observation of scheelite using Ultra Violet light is qualitative.
The mineralized zone appears gently to moderately dipping and within 30-60 metres of surface.
Drilling to date at the BN zone has been successful in intersecting continuous positive tungsten mineralization in an area
approximately 125 metres by 70 metres in dimension and it remains open in extent. Deeper drilling to test for lower zone(s) as seen
in F12-27 is also planned.
The Company also wishes to announce that Paul Berndt, Director, is present at the ITIA
(International Tungsten Industry Association) Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Stockholm, Sweden. The ITIA AGM is a forum for all
things relating to tungsten, including miners and developers, processors and end-users of tungsten products globally. Happy Creek
is a member of the ITIA.
Drilling and trenching results for the Ridley Creek, BK and BN zone are pending.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
“David E Blann”
