Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. Mobilizes Field Crew to British Columbia Copper-Gold
Projects
May 27, 2021, Vancouver, British Columbia – Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: HPY) (“Happy
Creek” or the “Company”) is pleased to report a field crew has been mobilized to begin work on
the Company’s copper-gold-silver-moybdenum projects in the Highland Valley and Cariboo
districts of southern British Columbia.
CEO Statement
Mike Cathro, Interim President and CEO stated “Management is excited to carry out surface work
programs on Happy Creek’s very large, road accessible and highly prospective properties with
the goal of discovering one or more large porphyry copper deposits in these proven mining
districts. Management intends to drill the most prospective targets later in the year.”
2021 Field Programs
At Highland Valley, a team from C.J. Greig an d Associates will conduct surface geochemical
sampling and geological investigations over select areas in order to refine targets for drilling. The
work will focus on promising magnetic features from the February 2021 high-resolution airborne
survey, in proximity to areas of porphyry-style alteration and mineralization, induced polarization
(IP) anomalies, and major structures, particularly in the Copper Creek - Yubet, 3 Creeks, Moss 4
and Sho target areas.
Following the Highland Valley work, the field crew will move to the Cariboo projects near 100 Mile
House where focused geochemical and geological work will be done on the Silverboss, Hen-Art-
DL and Hawk properties. In addition, infill and reconnaissance IP geophysical surveys are
planned for late July to further refine drill targets at Silverboss, particularly around the Silver Boss
shaft, East Breccia, Horse Trail, Dogtooth and Gus copper-gold-silver-molybdenum targets.
These prospects lie within one to three kilometres of Glencore’s past-producing Boss Mountain
molybdenum mine and yet have seen only a few historical, short, drill holes.
Permitting
Permits for trail construction, trenching, IP surveys and substantial drilling are in place for all of
the Company’s key projects including Highland Valley, Silverboss and Fox Tungsten. Drill permits
for Hawk and Hen-Art-DL are expected soon.
About the Highland Valley Project (West Valley-Rateria Property)
The 100-percent-owned Highland Valley project, comprising the West Valley and Rateria copper
properties, covers 244 square kilometres and is a quality, underexplored road-accesible
exploration asset in the world-class Highland Valley district. The Company's property package
adjoins the Highland Valley Copper mine on the southern side. The mine, Canada’s largest
copper producer, has been in production for nearly 60 years. Happy Creek’s Zone 1 and Zone 2
discoveries, which lie just 6.5 kilometres southeast of HVC’s Highmont pits, show laterally
continuous mineralization that has been partially outlined with 28,000 metres of drilling. The Zone
1 and Zone 2 discoveries remain open in several directions. The Company also continues to
generate new copper targets within this large and prospective property.
About the Cariboo Properties
Happy Creek holds a 100% interest in over 380 square kilometres in the Silverboss, Hen-Art-DL,
Hawk and Fox Tungsten properties. The properties are road accessible and prospective for
porphyry copper-gold-silver-molydenum, skarn, vein and breccia-hosted gold-silver-copper,
argillite-hosted orogenic gold-quartz veins, and tungsten skarn deposits.
