[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek drills 2.7 metres of 2.0 % tungsten (W03) at the Fox property(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nAugust 27, 2013 - Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce preliminary results from the first drill hole of the 2013 program on its 100% owned, 165 square kilometre Fox tungsten property. The Fox property is located approximately 75 km northeast of 100 Mile House, in the south-central Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada.\n\n \n \nAt the RC prospect, drill hole F13-01 is a step out approximately 40.0 metres west of F12-17 (20 metres of 0.63% tungsten trioxide (W03). F13-01 is a vertical hole that was lost at a depth of 30.4 metres while in the mineralized zone due to a drilling problem. The favorable geology consists of calc-silicate and skarn which was intersected from surface, with trace tungsten beginning from 8.0 metres. Starting at 26.8 metres the hole intersected 2.72 metres grading 2.01% tungsten trioxide that is thought to be near true thickness. Other values in this interval include 0.27% zinc, 1.85 g/t silver, 0.09 g/t gold and 1.63 g/t indium. This drill site was subsequently repeated and completed through the favourable horizon and results are pending. \n\n \n \nOn the Fox property, positive values of tungsten occur in rock, stream sediment, soil and drill core in a 10 km by 3 km area. Drilling by the Company in 2007 at the Nightcrawler zone outlined positive tungsten values in multiple horizons over an area 1.5 km by 500 metres in dimension. Four kilometres to the north, four outcropping mineralized zones are named from south to north the 708, BN, RC (Ridley Creek) and BK prospects. These prospects are within a favorable target horizon (calc-silicate or skarn) spanning a distance of three kilometres and a lateral extent thought to be greater than one kilometre. \n\n \n \nA review of drill results from the Fox property to date identified 23 intervals averaging 3.1 metres and 2.41 % tungsten trioxide that comprise a portion of the favourable horizon thickness. Drill highlights from 2011 and 2012 at the RC prospect include 7.35 metres of 1.22% tungsten trioxide, 19.4 metres of 0.82% tungsten trioxide, 11.0 metres of 0.80% tungsten trioxide, 20.0 metres of 0.63% tungsten trioxide and 24.7 metres of 0.68% tungsten trioxide.
