[{"type":"text","content":"Happy Creek Receives Geophysical Results from the West Valley Copper Property, British Columbia(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - December 20, 2019 - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:HPY) (the \"Company\"), is pleased to provide a summary of geophysical and geology results received from recently completed work on its 100% owned, 144 square kilometre West Valley property located in the Highland Valley mining district of south-central British Columbia, Canada. The West Valley property adjoins the southwestern side of the operating Highland Valley copper mine.\n\n\n \nFurther to the press release dated November 14, 2019 a 3-dimensional induced polarization geophysical survey (\"IP survey\") was completed by SJ Geophysics Ltd in the north and south portions of the West Valley property called the PIM and Abbott prospects, respectively. In addition, the Company's 2012 airborne magnetic survey data of the entire West Valley property was re-processed into a 3-dimensional view and airborne high-resolution photographic imagery of the Rateria-West Valley property was performed. In conjunction with the geophysical surveys, prospecting and geological mapping were also completed.\n\n\n \nDavid Blann, President of Happy Creek states \"The objective for work on the 144 sq km West Valley property in 2019 was to identify potential for new copper deposits, and by conducting more detailed surface geology in specific areas and then looking three-dimensionally at two minimally explored areas, exciting new targets for drill testing at the PIM and Abbott prospects have been identified. The magnetic re-processing has provided an important new perspective on the geology. The key younger phases of potentially porphyry copper-generating intrusive rocks are now thought to occur much further west at surface or beneath older rocks. This will help guide exploration over the large under-explored areas of this property.\"\n\n \n \nHighlights\n\n\n \nNew deposit-scale targets outlined at the PIM and Abbott prospects, both without any prior drilling.\n\n\n \nMagnetic re-processing has revealed a three-dimensional view of the younger phases of the batholith which are the host to large copper deposits in the district. These important rocks are interpreted to occur further west and underly older rocks on the property and provide great...
