Happy Creek Minerals (CVE:HPY) has announced preliminary analytical results from the first hole drilled in 2011, at Zone 1 of its Rateria property in Highland Valley, B.C.
The press release is quoted as saying:
Happy Creek has intersected 95.0 metres grading 0.65% copper and 3.62 g/t (grams per tonne) silver from 220 to 315 metres in drill hole R11-1. This hole is angled at -55 degrees across the northerly trending Zone 1. Low copper values occur above and below this interval with the final 12.5 metres containing 0.10% copper to 404.5 metres where the hole was shut down due to drilling difficulty. The significant interval in R11-1 is approximately 100 to 150 metres beneath R07-09 that returned 100.0 metres of 0.29% copper near surface and on this section, importantly indicates good continuity of the zone and higher grade at depth.
David Blann, President and CEO of Happy Creek Minerals is quoted as saying:
“We are very encouraged from results of the first hole this year, which shows good continuity and increasing copper grade. This phase of drilling is focusing on the definition of Zone 1 and testing similar geophysical targets nearby.”
