[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. Finds Tungsten in Outcrop 5 Km West of High-Grade Resources on the Fox Tungsten Property(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nAugust 24, 2020 - TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:HPY) (\"Happy Creek\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the Company's 100% owned, 198 square kilometre Fox Tungsten Property (the \"Fox Property\") in south central British Columbia, Canada.\n\n\n \nThe Fox Property represents a rare, high-grade strategic and critical metal discovery in a good location and has resources with grades amongst the highest in the western world.\n\n\n \nFurther to the Company's new release dated July 20, 2020, an area of very recent logging road construction on the western side of Deception Mountain has provided new access and exposed bedrock. A principle objective of exploration in this new area was to locate more tungsten-bearing calc-silicate that may be extensions of the Ridley Creek and other high-grade tungsten deposits located 5 km up-dip to the east. \n\n\n \nThe program is well underway and the Company is pleased with the progress.\n\n\n \nKey geological observations from prospecting to date:\n\n\n \n\n\n1)Outcrops containing scheelite (tungsten mineral) were found by ultraviolet lamping along new logging road ditches at low elevations on the west side of Deception Mountain; \n\n\n\n2)The scheelite-bearing outcrops, subcrop, and intervening shallow glacial till (containing rock fragments with scheelite) occur for approximately 500 metres along a north-south trending logging road; \n\n\n\n3)Calc silicate and marble, host rocks for the tungsten mineralization occurs for one km in a north-south trend that is open and has a variable westerly dip. This is a similar orientation to the three km long zone on the east side of Deception Mountain; and \n\n\n\n4)These new tungsten showings are approximately 5 km west of the tungsten-bearing calc silicate layers hosting the Ridley Creek tungsten deposit. \n\n\n\n\n \nProspecting was successful in its objective to locate tungsten in an outcrop on the west side and at lower elevations of Deception Mountain. This has increased the probability for the favorable geology that hosts the current resources to extend up to 5 km through Deception Mountain. Drilling will be necessary to confirm these findings.
