(<a href=" HPY</a>, or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the news release dated February 2, 2010, final (1) rhenium assay results have been received for another portion of its drill holes from the Rateria property. With additional results received from R09-06 in Zone 2, one interval returned 38.2 metres of 2.14 g/t (grams per tonne) rhenium, including a high grade interval of 1.5 metres grading 19.37 g/t rhenium, 0.27% copper and 0.239% molybdenum. R08-01 returned 12.0 metres grading 2.85 g/t rhenium, 1.38% copper, 0.010% molybdenum and 7.1 g/t silver. . Rhenium (Re) is a metal primarily used in making high temperature super-alloys and catalysts. Rhenium prices are currently around (2) US$6,250.00 per kilogram ($6.25 per gram), and have recently ranged up to US$12,000.00 per kilogram over the past few years. David Blann, President of Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. states "We are encouraged by the significant rhenium results received to date. Rhenium also occurs at Teck's Highmont deposits. Not only does rhenium increase the potential value of what we have, it also strengthens the Highmont deposit analogy that is currently in production 6.5 kilometres to the northwest. We look forward to further exploration of Zone 1 and 2, and several untested and prospective, large scale targets that may also be similar to Highmont."

Rhenium results are pending re-sampling of core for R08-05 in Zone 2 that returned 177 metres grading 0.37% copper, including 27.0 metres grading 1.05% copper, 0.019% molybdenum, 5.0 g/t silver and 0.24 g/t gold, and core from Zone 1 that includes 100.0 metres grading 0.285% copper, 37.0 metres grading 0.579% copper and 189.3 metres grading 0.22% copper. Happy Creek's 100 percent owned Highland Valley project is comprised of the West Valley and Rateria property totaling over 140 square kilometres in area. These properties adjoin the west and east side, respectively, of Teck Resources Ltd.'s Highland Valley Copper mine property, Canada's largest copper producer. The Highland Valley Copper mine is currently mining material averaging approximately 0.32% copper. On the Rateria property, the Company has discovered by drilling two new zones containing potentially economic copper grades that remain undefined and open in extent, and identified several quality exploration targets that remain untested by drilling. Exploration on the Rateria property during 2010 is planned to include drilling to define Zone 1 and 2 and, in light of the current results, test several other new and large scale targets.
