[{"type":"text","content":"\nHappy Creek drills 17.4 metres of 0.90% W03 near surface at the Fox tungsten property\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nSeptember 18, 2012 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:HPY, the \"Company\") is happy to announce new drilling results from its 100% owned, 162 square kilometre Fox tungsten-molybdenum property. The Fox property is located approximately 75 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House, British Columbia (B.C.), Canada.\n\n\n \nFour prospects called the 708, BN, Ridley Creek (RC) and BK contain high tungsten values in outcrop and the favorable geology spans a distance of approximately 3.0 kilometres. Trenching these prospects returned 1.0 metre of 2.38% W03 (tungsten trioxide), 0.40 metres of 11.10% W03, 7.0 metres of 0.80% W03, and 4.6 metres of 0.85% W03, respectively. In 2011, the first ever drilling in the RC area returned 7.35 metres of 1.22% W03 in F11-07 and 4.7 metres of 1.02% W03 in F11-08. Refer to press releases dated October 3, October 20, November 1, 2011 and January 12, 2012.\n\n\n \nThe first preliminary results from 2012 drilling is from the RC area with vertical hole F12-01 containing 17.4 metres of 0.90% W03, including 1.3 metres of 6.08% W03, 0.35% zinc, 0.42 g/t gold, 3.16 g/t silver and 2.1 g/t indium. Splitting the overall zone to above and below a 3.0 metre thick granite sill gives 4.0 metres of 0.41% W03 and 10.4 metres of 1.35% W03, respectively. As the zone is sub-horizontal, the estimated true width is approximately 80-90% of measured width.\n\n\n \nDavid Blann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Happy Creek states: \"The three kilometre long area of favorable geology with near surface mineralized zones is translating into a strongly positive outlook for this new tungsten discovery. Drilling in 2011 and 2012 has returned drill core with variable length intervals containing trace to 9.6% W03, everywhere we have tested. In addition, several longer holes at the end of this program intersected tungsten-bearing zones at depth that increase the opportunity on the property.\"\n\n\n \nPreliminary 2012 Drill Results from Fox Tungsten Property\n\n\n \n\n ---------------------------------------------------------\n |  |From|To |Interval|W03 |Zn |Rock |\n |-------------------------------------------------------|\n |Hole |(m) |(m) |(m) |% |ppm |  |\n |-------------...
