July 07, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: HPY) (the
“Company”), is pleased to announce the following corporate appointments and new
responsibilities which are designed to build additional strength in the areas of corporate strategy,
governance, business development and shareholder relations.
Walter Segsworth, B.Sc. FEC, P.Eng, will increase his level of involvement with the company by
becoming Executive Chair of the Board with a greater focus on shareholder relations. Mr.
Segsworth has had a long career in the mining industry in Canada and overseas and, in addition
to having had board and management roles in major mining companies, has for several years
been serving on boards of junior mining companies.
Kathy Love will join the team in the position of Corporate Secretary. Ms. Love has more than 20
years of industry experience as a paralegal specialist at securities firms and as Corporate
Secretary for a number of publicly traded companies managed by the Lundin Group in Vancouver.
Her addition to the team will enhance the corporation’s governance and administration functions.
Board member Rodger Gray, BA Economics and Commerce, will also be increasing his
involvement and he will be focused on strategic positioning and financing. Mr. Gray has a 25-year
history in the financial markets in investment banking and brokerage, specializing in the junior
resources sector. His specific emphasis will be engaging suitable partners who have the
wherewithal, both technical and financial, to work with the Company on its exploration properties.
Michael Cathro, M.Sc, P.Geo, also a member of the Board, will increase the time he devotes to
the Company, particularly in the areas of exploration and development permitting, and
government and aboriginal relations. Mr. Cathro has nearly 40 years of successful experience in
exploration, public and corporate administration, major mine permitting, and aboriginal
engagement.
Sarah Weber, P.Geo, is joining the Company’s advisory board. Sarah is president of C3 Alliance
Corp, a private consulting company that works closely with Indigenous Peoples, the resource
sector, governments and communities. C3 has extensive experience in assisting Companies to
develop meaningful Indigenous and community relationships. Ms. Weber has a support team that
together has assisted mining companies with successful permitting, from drilling through feasibility
studies and mine development certificates. The Company welcomes Sarah’s input as we move
our projects to a more advanced stage.
Mr. Segsworth, Executive Chair commented as follows: “It has become apparent that, for too long,
David Blann has been saddled with an ever-greater level of necessary but non-core work simply
to keep Happy Creek operational. These changes are meant to free our CEO to do what he does
best – running hugely creative land acquisition and geological exploration programs that are the
core of our business. David’s talent has put us in the extraordinary position of having what is
arguably the best tungsten property in the Western Hemisphere and huge under-explored
properties with substantial copper and locally precious metal showings next to, and along strike
of, the biggest copper mine in Canada”.
On Behalf of the Board,
“Walter Segsworth”,
Walter Segsworth, Director, Executive Chair.
