Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. to report assays from the 2021 drill and rock sampling program on the road-accessible Fox Tungsten project, located near the community of 100 Mile House in southern British Columbia. A total of 2052.7 m were drilled in twelve diamond drill holes. The 2021 drill pattern was designed to in-fill and step-out from previous promising results in three portions of the 3-km-long Nightcrawler - Creek zone, and to attain a pierce-point spacing of approximately 75 m or less to allow for future resource estimation.

The 2021 drilling was successful in demonstrating the continuity of moderate- to high-grade tungsten skarn (calc-silicate) mineralization in the northern Nightcrawler, southern Nightcrawler South and eastern Creek zones, and in showing that these zones remain open for expansion in several directions. In addition, the drilling confirmed two to six stacked, mineralized horizons are present in Nightcrawler area. Five kilometres to the north, detailed prospecting and chip sampling along strike from the RC Zone deposit returned high-grade assays, showing that there is good potential for expansion of the high-grade tungsten deposit into undrilled areas beyond the limits of the current resource*.

In the northern Nightcrawler zone seven holes were drilled to infill and expand the area of near- surface tungsten mineralization. The best 2021 results are hole F21-09 which intersected 6.7 m grading 0.43% WO3, including 1.2 m grading 1.83% WO3 and hole F21-11, which intersected 1.2 m grading 0.67% WO3. The mineralized skarn horizons are now confirmed to dip shallowly south over an area of approximately 250 m east-west by 200 m on the dip.

The host rocks dip south at 20 to 25 degrees. This zone has now been intersected in a total of ten holes and remains open up-dip to the north, and down-dip to the south. Previous drilling in the southern Nightcrawler zone includes a line of four holes drilled between 2007 and 2015, all of which intersected multiple zones of gently south-dipping tungsten mineralization at shallow depths (e.g. Hole 07F-05 intersected 2 m grading 0.75%, 3 m grading 0.34% and 0.5 m grading 1.8% WO3).

2021 hole F21-05 was collared approximately 50 m west of 07F-05 and intersected six stacked mineralized skarn horizons between 15.54 and 178.14 m down the hole, the best the best of which is 1.5 m grading 0.43 WO3. Four holes were drilled in the eastern Creek zone, F21-01 to -04, as step-outs around 2020 hole F20-06 which intersected 3.38 m grading 1.08% WO3 within a thick section of calc silicate (skarn) alteration. The 2021 holes successfully demonstrated that the skarn-hosted tungsten mineralization extends in the up-dip direction in hole F21-02 (1.0 m grading 0.74% WO3), in the down-dip direction in hole F21-03 (2.2 m grading 0.37% WO3) and to the northwest in hole F21-04 (1.0 m grading 0.49% WO3).

This near-surface mineralized zone remains open in several directions, including up-dip to surface to the north.
