[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek drills 8.2 metres of 0.86% tungsten trioxide (W03) near surface in southward step out hole at Fox property(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nSeptember 25, 2013 - Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from an additional four drill holes on its 100% owned, 165 square kilometre Fox tungsten property. The property is well situated approximately 25 km east of the past producing Boss Mountain molybdenum mine, and 75 km northeast of the town of 100 Mile House in the south-central Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada. \n\n \n \nThe Company has explored the Fox property from an early stage returning positive values of tungsten in rock, stream sediment, soil and drill core in a 10 km by 3 km area. Positive to potentially economic values of tungsten occur in two areas located on the south and north sides of an granitic intrusive rock that is similar in age to the Boss Mountain mine.\n\n \n \nIn the northern area on the east side of Deception Mountain, four outcropping mineralized zones occur over a three kilometre distance: from south to north, the 708, BN, RC (Ridley Creek), and BK prospects. These prospects span a distance of three kilometres and have a lateral extent thought to be greater than one kilometre. Since the first drilling discovery in 2011, the Company has tested three of the prospects with encouraging results. The main focus of the 2011-2013 drilling was the RC zone.\n\n \n \nResults \n\n \n \nAt the RC prospect, drilling continues to define and expand a new tungsten deposit that occurs at surface and dips shallowly westward. Drill holes F13-04 (vertical) and F13-05 (-50 degrees to the west) are located approximately 40.0 metres southwest of F13-3 (22 metres of 0.76% tungsten trioxide (W03). Refer to News Release dated September 9, 2013). F13-04 and 05 encountered the favorable geology from surface, with values of 0.01 to 0.03% tungsten trioxide starting at 6.0 metres. F13-04 ended at 50.9 metres, with the final 0.5 metres containing moderately strong pyroxene calc silicate thought to indicate potential for additional tungsten mineralized zone to occur at depth.\n\n \n \nF13-06 (-55 degrees west) is located approximately 40 metres south east of F13-04/05, and starting from 14.0 metres returned 16.0 metres of 0.23% tungsten trioxide inclu...
