[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek drills 5 metres of 2.98% W03 at the Fox tungsten property(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nOctober 24, 2017 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from drilling at the BN zone on its 100% owned Fox tungsten property, located 90 km northeast of the town of 100 Mile House, in south central B.C., Canada. During 2017, drilling was performed on the BN, Ridley Creek and Nightcrawler-South Grid zones. \n\n \n \nPreliminary results for the BN zone are reported here for 4,446.3 metres of drilling in 38 holes. Final results for the project, including the Ridley Creek and South Grid zones and zinc, indium, bismuth, gold and silver values will be released after all results have been received. The BN zone consists of Upper, Middle and Lower tabular-shaped layers of calc silicate (skarn) that are cut by varying thicknesses of monzogranite, alaskite to aplite intrusive rocks. On January 26, 2017 the Company announced as part of the total project resource, a first-time inferred resource for the BN zone of 254,000 tonnes grading 1.892% WO3 (tungsten trioxide). New drilling results for tungsten (WO3- tungsten trioxide) are referenced relative to the nearest previous drill hole intercept within the current resource. True widths are estimated to be 75-95% of reported drill intervals.\n\n \n \nHighlights \n\n \n \nF17-25: 6.8 metres of 0.435% WO3 starting at 37.6 metres that expands the Middle layer approximately 50 metres to the southeast. \n\n \n \nF17-29: 5.05 metres of 2.980% WO3 starting at 45.6 metres that expands the Middle layer approximately 75 metres to the east.\n\n \n \nF17-33: 2.0 metres of 0.578% WO3 starting at 19.5 metres that expands the Middle layer approximately 200 metres to the northeast.\n\n \n \nF17-36: 7.81 metres of 1.36% WO3 starting at 55 metres that expands the Middle layer approximately 40 metres to the southwest.\n\n \n \nF17-23: 4.0 metres of 0.963% WO3 starting at 162 metres that expands the Lower layer approximately 35 metres south of drill hole F12-27 which contains 5.8 metres of 2.0% WO3 and 7.8 metres of 1.77% WO3 in the Lower layer.\n\n \n \nDavid Blann, President and C.E.O. of Happy Creek states: \"This year, drilling at the BN zone has expanded the mineralized area by about four times.
