(TSX-V:HPY, the \"Company\") announces results of additional drilling from its on-going exploration on the Rateria property, Highland Valley district, British Columbia (B.C.), Canada.\n\n\n \nThe Company has a 100% interest in approximately 145 square kilometres of mineral claims that adjoin Teck's Highland Valley Copper (HVC) mine property, Canada's largest copper producer, located in south central B.C. Over 1.8 billion tonnes of resources in five deposits have been discovered in the Highland Valley district. HVC is currently mining material with an average grade of around 0.26% copper.\n\n\n \nHappy Creek has discovered Zone 1 and Zone 2 on the Rateria property, located approximately 6.5 kilometres south-southeast of Teck's Highmont mine. Previous highlights of drilling include R10-12 with120.0 metres of 0.38% copper starting at surface, R11-1 with 95.0 metres of 0.67% copper, 3.6 g/t (grams per tonne) silver and R11-8 with 250.0 metres of 0.25% copper. Zone 2 is located approximately 2 kilometres to the northeast where drilling has returned 126.0 metres of 0.46% copper, 0.008% molybdenum and 0.10 g/t gold, as well as significant intercepts such as 38.2 metres of 2.14 g/t rhenium.\n\n\n \nNew results from Zone 1 include drill hole R11-10 with 50.0 metres of 0.39% copper, 2.4 g/t silver within an overall mineralized interval of 280.3 metres containing 0.14% copper that starts at 190.0 metres. R11-10 is located approximately 65 metres south of R07-13 (189 metres of 0.22% copper including 84 metres of 0.30% copper) and approximately 50 metres north of R07-12/14 that are relatively shallow holes with positive alteration and geochemical levels of copper that are of exploration interest. R11-10 cut the zone beneath R07-12, 14 and has extended significant grades in Zone 1 to the south by 65 metres and it remains open in extent.\n\n\n \nDavid Blann, President and CEO of Happy Creek states: \"R11-10 is important as it has expanded Zone 1 and suggests increasing size and grade beneath previous shallow holes. In addition, many of our widespread exploration holes look similar to these shallow holes and reflect positively on the size of this min...
