Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:HPY, OTC:HPYCF) CEO Jason Bahnsen jointed Proactive to discuss recent developments at its projects in British Columbia.
Bahnsen shared insights into the groundwork completed on the Silver Boss and Hen Art-DL properties, which include over 50 rock samples and more than 100 soil and stream sediment samples
Proactive: The company recently released news about work on the Silver Boss and Hen Art-DL projects. Can you tell us more about this?
Jason Bahnsen: Certainly. We've been conducting groundwork to validate some drill targets. This year alone, we've taken over 50 rock samples, more than 100 soil and stream sediment samples. This adds to previous geophysical work we've done on the project, which spans over 170 square kilometers. Silver Boss, for example, surrounds the old Boss Mountain molybdenum mine, active from 1965 to the early 1980s. The area is highly prospective for copper, gold, and molybdenum.
On Hen Art-DL, you also discovered two interesting boulders. Can you explain what you found?
Yes, we found a large boulder, roughly 3.5 by 2.5 by 2.5 meters, likely originating near the Eureka thrust fault. Sampling revealed significant levels of nickel, chromium, cobalt, and platinum—elements not previously identified here. The property features extensive mineralization, including upper thermal systems and potential for a large copper porphyry. We’ve also identified gold and silver targets, such as the Horse Tail zone and Ten Mile Creek.
What’s the next step for these projects?
Drilling is our focus for 2025. We're prioritizing the Fox Tungsten and Silver Boss projects. These properties are part of the larger Cariboo projects, which offer numerous high-potential targets.
