[{"type":"text","content":"\nHappy Creek extends Zone 1 to a kilometre with 47.5 metres of 0.42% copper\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nNovember 28, 2011 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:HPY, the \"Company\") announces additional drill results from its on-going exploration of 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, and within similar geology as the deposits currently in production to the north. Recent drilling highlights from within Zone 1 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 silver, R11-8 with 250.0 metres of 0.25% copper and R11-11 with 102.5 metres of 0.43% copper.\n\n\n \nNew results from testing the southern extent of Zone 1 with drill hole R11-13 are 47.5 metres of 0.42% copper, 2.3 g/t (grams per tonne) silver within an overall interval of 82.5 metres containing 0.26% copper and 1.0 g/t silver, starting at 282.5 metres. R11-13 has extended copper mineralization by 125 metres to the south of R11-10 (Refer to News Release dated September 19th, 2011). Zone 1 is now approximately one kilometre in length and remains open in extent. As in R11-10, significant copper grade can occur beneath previous shallow holes and indicates potential for expanding the size of Zone 1 at depth.\n\n\n \nDavid Blann, President and CEO of Happy Creek states: \"R11-13 has extended Zone 1 to one kilometre with continuous copper mineralization and it remains open in extent in several directions. In addition to expanding the limits of Zone 1, continuous drill testing of other targets is an exciting part of our exploration. Having the right geology in a prolific mining district has led us to the discovery of two significant new copper zones and we look forward to testing ot...
