[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek drills 4.1m of 5.1% W03 at BN zone, Fox tungsten property(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nOctober 24, 2016 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the \"Company\") is happy to announce additional results from the 2016 exploration program on its 100% owned Fox tungsten property, located northeast of 100 Mile House, in south central British Columbia, Canada.\n\n \n \nA program of geology, trenching and approximately 2,330.6 metres of NQ diameter core drilling in 28 holes were completed at the Ridley Creek, BK, BN and South Grid zones. Interim results reported here are from 19 holes, with additional results from these and other holes pending. A map showing the location of the various mineralized zones can be found on the Company's website at www.happycreekminerals.com.\n\n \n \nBN prospect\n\n \n \nDrill hole F16-17returned 4.1metres of 5.1% WO3 and is located approximately 50 metres south of 2012 drill hole F12-27 which contains 14.8m of 4.0% W03. F16-18 is about 50 metres south of F16-17, and returned 3.03 m of 1.07 % WO3 and ended within the mineralized zone due to a drill problem. Approximately 45 metres further south, F16-19 returned 6.0 metres of 0.56% WO3, including 2.8 metres of 0.81% WO3. Drilling at the BN prospect has started to outline a new high grade mineralized zone that is open in extent to the south and north. To date, drilling has tested an area approximately 150 m by 100 m in dimension within a target area that is 1.5 km by 1.0 km in dimension. For comparison, the Cantung mine located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, is regarded as among the largest and highest-grade tungsten mines in the western world with reserves and resources grading approximately 0.80 to 0.97% WO3 (1).\n\n \n \nDavid Blann, P.Eng., President and CEO of Happy Creek stated: \"With 4.1 metres of 5.1% tungsten trioxide, the Fox has delivered another world class tungsten result. The fact it is about 50 metres away from an interval with 14.8 metres of 4.0% tungsten trioxide suggests continuity of this high grade layer. The BN zone clearly adds important value to the project and we have just begun to test this large scale target. The work completed at all three zones continue to demonstrate the quality of this rare tungsten discovery.\" \n\n \n \nRidley Creek (RC) prospect\n\n \n \nThe Ridley ...
