Happy Creek HPY.v shows us more goods!

If your here for the first time you should reward yourself with a full study of their properties. The have advantages like location and results that should excite the market. Obviously, the market is being crushed and only projects that are developed or sold will generate cash so here is a company with both opportunities.

The latest highly positive results come from the SilverBoss claim. (See below.) The reason I follow them is because for $35 million they could be a tungsten producer. They also have copper grade right beside Teck's Highland Valley mine that definitely have Teck looking over the fence. They have a deal with Newmont and last, they have gold! Show me a Junior that has all this under one roof.

I suggest you browse their properties and have a really good look at the maps and NR's. The results just keep getting better. This latest round of data surrounding the Boss Mountain mine (Xstrata has a proposed super pit there) are a real eye opener. I don't have time to go into the geology today but that will come in time.

To date, the Company has performed exploration on eight early-stage properties, filtering and resolving a number of new targets. Several targets tested by drilling have met with success. Due to their location and quality the Company's assets are thought have excellent potential to create value for shareholders. Highlights to date include:
  1. The Fox Property: The best new tungsten discovery. Underground mining grade in an open-pit setting
  2. The Rateria Property: Two new copper zones 6.5 km from a producing open pit at Teck's Highland Valley Copper mine, Canada's largest copper producer;
  3. The Silverboss Property: A new and large scale copper, molybdenum and gold system adjacent to the former Boss Mountain molybdenum mine that is owned by Xstrata;
  4. The Hawk Property: A copper-gold system with high grades in surface sampling;
  5. The Silver Dollar Property: Several historical, high-grade gold-silver past producing mines and developed prospects.
  6. The Eye Property: Optioned to Newmont Mining Inc.

Happy Creek completes Geophysical Survey at Silverboss property, B.C.

April 3, 2013 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: HPY, the "Company") announces results from the 2012 exploration of its 100% owned Silverboss property, located approximately 85 km (kilometres) northeast of 100 Mile House in South Central British Columbia, Canada. Happy Creek has a 100% interest in 155 square km of mineral claims that surround the former Boss Mountain molybdenum mine property, owned by Xstrata. Boss Mountain was Canada's first primary molybdenum mine. To the northwest and north of the Silverboss property, Gold Fields and Newmont Mining are exploring for copper-molybdenum-gold bulk tonnage deposits.
The Silverboss property is underlain by geology similar to that being explored by the major companies to the north, and also locally comes within 350 metres from the edge of an open pit of the Boss Mountain mine. On the Silverboss, the Company has performed systematic surface soil, silt and rock sampling that has outlined several prospective new targets. The Silverboss Shaft area has returned values of 2.52 percent copper, 6.21 g/t gold, 295 g/t silver and 6.76 g/t indium in grab samples. The Horse Trail zone contains positive values in rock samples ranging from around 0.10 to 1.69% copper, 0.108 to 0.637% molybdenum and 1.03 to 10.0 g/t gold that extend westward from the Boss Mnt mine's open pits.
During 2012, Happy Creek conducted a three dimensional induced polarization (3D IP) and magnetic geophysical survey covering the Silverboss Shaft and Horse Trail prospects. Work was performed by SJ Geophysics of Vancouver, B.C.
At the Silverboss Shaft area, the 3DIP survey has a background chargeability of less than 4.0 milliseconds (ms) and a positive response of 9 to over 15 ms chargeability occurs from the surface of the known mineralized zone to over 300 metres below surface. The positive response extends north and east to the East Breccia showing (1.24 g/t gold and 2.48% copper in grab samples). Overall, the area of positive IP response measures approximately 500 metres by 400 metres in dimension and remains open in extent. These encouraging geophysical targets are overlain at surface with soil and rock samples containing positive values of copper, gold and silver.
At the Horse Trail zone, the 3D IP survey has a background chargeability of less than 4.0 ms. A moderate to very strongly positive response of 9 to over 40 ms extends westward and up to one kilometre from the open pits of the past-producing Boss Mountain mine. The strongest portion of this zone, approximately 650 by 500 metres in dimension corresponds to lower resistivity and occurs around 100 to over 400 metres beneath positive values of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver in quartz veins and soil samples at surface.
The new geophysical surveys have identified and confirmed potential for large scale copper, molybdenum, gold and silver mineralized zones to occur in two areas. These two areas represent only a portion of an overall much larger area containing positive values in rock and soil samples that remain un-surveyed by the IP geophysical method. All targets remain untested by drilling.
Through systematic surface exploration, the Company has developed new exploration targets that are located between an important past-producing mine to the south and two major companies exploring for copper-molybdenum-gold deposits to the north. Further exploration on the Silverboss property is planned to include additional geophysical surveys and a drill program.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,

  1. Great post on Happy Creek minerals. Do you believe they will continue to explore and expand their resources in the coming years? Or will a major step in to buyout HPY? How do you think this stock will play out, and your timeline on this company.
    thanks in advance Webgogs

  2. I have them on a 2 year cycle. I'm expecting something to break on the tungsten property. We should also see Newmont prove something good on the Eye property this year and that could be a catalyst for an offer for more. The next step should be some interest that drives new 43-101's and or royalty offers with back ins. The Rateia 101 is from 2006. Much has changed. This summer is going to be a major push for them. They know there's trouble brewing on the exchanges and they are lucky to have a good base behind them.

    It might be too early for a patron to take up a position and fund them but some lucky money pile will eventually recognize the value. Propery funded they could produce a few 101's. If the sp was driven up by retail who saw the value they could go for traditional funding but with all the naked shorting... I think they are best served by retail who will hold out and a patron.
