The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a bland 80-100-130 as the TSX Venture Exchange rose nine points to 942. Stephen Gray's Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (HPY) leapt five cents to 18 cents on 2.42 million shares. The company has assays from drilling at its Fox tungsten project in the southern Cariboo district of British Columbia. The headline hit returned 6.83 per cent tungsten oxide across 1.18 near-surface metres, while a second hole managed 2.22 per cent over one near-surface metre and a third delivered 1.11 per cent across 0.95 metre, also near surface.

The assays are from 17 holes of the 18-hole program. Results for the final hole are still pending, but 13 of the other 17 hit mineralization. The three headliners tested the Ridley Creek zone, but four holes probed the BN zone. One of those tests produced a one-metre intercept grading 0.88 per cent tungsten oxide at depth. Another produced two intercepts, one with 0.25 per cent tungsten oxide over 2.5 metres, and a deeper one with 0.79 per cent across two metres. (The one pending hole tested the BN zone.)
