(TSXV:HPY)\n \n \n (OTC:HPYCF)\n \n \n (“Happy Creek” or the “Company”) is pleased to\nreport assays from the 2021 drill and rock sampling program on the\nroad-accessible Fox Tungsten project, located near the community of\n100 Mile House in southern British Columbia.\n \n \n \n \n A total of 2052.7 m were drilled in twelve diamond\ndrill holes. The 2021 drill pattern was designed to in-fill and\nstep-out from previous promising results in three portions of the\n3-km-long Nightcrawler – Creek zone, and to attain a pierce-point\nspacing of approximately 75 m or less to allow for future resource\nestimation.\n \n \n \n \n The 2021 drilling was successful in demonstrating the\ncontinuity of moderate- to high-grade tungsten skarn (calc-silicate)\nmineralization in the northern Nightcrawler, southern Nightcrawler\nSouth and eastern Creek zones, and in showing that these zones remain\nopen for expansion in several directions. In addition, the drilling\nconfirmed two to six stacked, mineralized horizons are present in\nNightcrawler area.\n \n \n \n \n Five kilometres to the north (Figure 1), detailed\nprospecting and chip sampling along strike from the RC Zone deposit\nreturned high-grade assays, showing that there is good potential for\nexpansion of the high-grade tungsten deposit into undrilled areas\nbeyond the limits of the current resource*.\n \n \n \n \n Drilling Results\n \n \n \n \n Assay and survey results are included in Tables 1 and\n2, in plan view on Figure 2, and in cross-sections on Figure 3 and\n4.\n \n \n \n \n In the northern Nightcrawler zone seven holes were\ndrilled to infill and expand the area of near-surface tungsten\nmineralization. The best 2021 results are hole F21-09 which\nintersected\n \n \n 6.7 m grading\n0.43% WO\n \n \n 3\n \n \n , including 1.2 m grading 1.83%\nWO\n \n \n 3\n \n \n and\n \n \n hole F21-11, which\nintersected\n \n \n 1.2 m grading\n0.67% WO\n \n \n 3\n \n \n .
