Happy Creek Completes 2025 Drill Program at the Fox Tungsten Project in British Columbia

Core Insights - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. has completed the first tranche of drilling at the Fox Tungsten Project, with significant mineralization observed in all 18 drill holes [1][3] - The deeper drilling at the BN Zone has intersected two thick zones of calc silicate, indicating multiple mineralized horizons at depth that remain open [1][3] Fox Project - 2025 Exploration Program - From September 5 to October 5, 2025, the company completed 18 diamond core drill holes totaling 2,175.5 metres, focusing on resource expansion at the RC and BN zones [1][3] - All drill holes intersected calc silicate, the main host rock for tungsten mineralization, with variable concentrations of scheelite observed [3][4] - Drilling at the RC south zone has expanded the calc silicate horizon to the southwest and is open to the west beneath Deception Mountain [3][9] RC Zone Details - The RC zone measures approximately 400 metres by 175 metres and is a gently dipping tabular body with thickness ranging from 5 to 25 metres [5] - A total of 14 diamond core drill holes were completed at the RC zone, totaling 1,304.5 metres drilled, with an average hole depth of approximately 92 metres [6][7] - The drilling confirmed geological continuity of the calc silicate from surface to approximately 50 metres in thickness westward, expanding it 250 metres southward towards the BN zone [9] BN Zone Details - The BN zone consists of three stacked calc silicate horizons, with the middle horizon being the best defined and containing most of the current resource [12][13] - Four diamond core drill holes were completed at the BN zone, totaling 871.0 metres drilled, with an average hole depth of approximately 218 metres [14] - Drillholes intersected multiple horizons of calc silicate, supporting the model of stacked horizons at depth, indicating potential for mineralization to be open to the north and northwest [15][16] Resource Estimates - The 2018 NI43-101 Resource Estimate for the Fox Tungsten Project included an Indicated Resource of 582,400 tonnes at 0.826% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 565,400 tonnes at 1.231% WO3 [2][20] - The current drilling program aims to further define and expand these resources, with selected core intervals sent for assay [10][16] Future Plans - The company plans follow-up drilling between the RC and BN zones, at the BK zone, and to the west beneath Deception Mountain, as well as conducting more geological and surface work [25]
