[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek drills 5 metres of 1.0% W03 at Nightcrawler, Fox tungsten property(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / October 29, 2015 - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the \"Company) is pleased to announce preliminary drill results and an update from its 100% owned, 150 square kilometre Fox tungsten property located in the south central Cariboo, British Columbia.\n\n \n \nBetween September 5th and October 3rd, eight NQ-size diamond core drill holes totaling approximately 1,500 metres has explored a portion of the eastern end of the road-accessible Nightcrawler tungsten skarn zone. Preliminary results from the first two holes have been received and are presented here. \n\n \n \nDrill hole F15-02 returned 5 metres of 1.0% W03 (tungsten trioxide), starting from 138 metres down-hole. The intercept is approximately 113 metres below and 25 metres to the east of the Creek prospect where outcrop and subcrop samples have yielded from 1.2% up to 6.0% W03 in grab samples over a distance of 90 metres (refer to press release dated September 17, 2015). The Creek prospect remains undefined and open in extent, and is interpreted to represent one of at least three other mineralized layers that occur further south and at higher elevation above and behind the drill site.\n\n \n \nDrill hole F12-01 was collared on the western side of the Creek prospect and drilled at -55 degrees to the north. However, at this location the favorable skarn stratigraphic unit has been replaced by granite where the mineralized zone was expected to occur. \n\n \n \nAdditional drill results are pending.\n\n \n \nDuring 2015, the Company also completed geological and soil geochemical surveys, rock sampling, ultra violet lamp prospecting at the North zone, a property-wide low-level airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey, and collected a 500 kg metallurgical sample from the Ridley Creek (RC) prospect. A MSc. Geology thesis was also initiated at the University of British Columbia.\n\n \n \nDavid Blann, P.Eng., President of Happy Creek states: \"The Fox property has delivered another outstanding result from a road-accessible area that adds to the resource potential already identified at three zones on Deception Mountain, 4.5 km to the north. F15-02 returned 5 metres of 1.0% tungsten trioxide that is the best intercept to d...
