GGX Gold Corp. [GGX-TSXV; GGXXF- OTCQB] has a large land position in the Greenwood-Republic mining camp in south-central BC which throughout its long history produced 1.4 million oz gold, 10 million oz silver and 0.7 billion pounds of copper. In 2018, drilling on the Gold Drop property intercepted high- grade gold-silver results including 129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 metres from the near surface COD vein which is projected to be 1.5 km long. In addition, tellurium grades were announced with up to 3,860 g/t tellurium, including 823 g/t tellurium over a 7.28-metre core length and 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-metres. The Gold Drop property hosts numer - ous low-sulfide, gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems, four of which were previously mined. The earli- est historic work on the property occurred during the 1890s to early 1900s when most of the veins were discovered. Most of the underground development mining occurred during the mid-1920s to 1941. Prospecting was done at the end of the 2019 field season to evaluate targets for trenching and drilling in the coming year. One sample assayed 55.8 g/t gold, 379 g/t silver and 270 ppm tellurium from a previ - ously unknown occurrence of frost-heaved blocks of vein quartz containing pyrite. This site will be a priority for follow up trenching in 2020. Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. [HPY- TSXV] has a portfolio of minerals projects in southern BC including the Fox tungsten project in the Williams Lake area. In recent months the company has been focused on its Highland Valley Project includ - ing the 144 km 2 West Valley property. Several other prospects are being evalu- ated as well. Recent work has generated new deposit-scale targets at the PIM and Abbott prospects, both without any prior drilling. Since announcing results of its 2019 work on both the Fox tungsten and Rateria-West Valley copper projects, the company has four confidentiality agree - ments in place for the purpose of exploring potential transactions and has received further interest in its projects during the PDAC convention earlier this month. It is expected that a five-year explora - tion permit will be received shortly for the Rateria-West Valley property, which includes geophysics, trenching and drill - ing. Permits to conduct similar work at the Fox tungsten project are in place for 2020, while a five-year permit that expands the scope of work to a more advanced-stage development project is in progress. Utilizing the successful 2019 drilling at the Fox Nightcrawler Zone, geo - logical modelling is nearly complete that is expected to provide a substantial target with potential to significantly increase the SOUTHERN BC
