Happy Creek Announces a Private Placement Financing



Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - October 28, 2020 - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:HPY) (OTC:HPYCF) ("Happy Creek" or the "Company") announces the intention to complete a non-brokered, flow-through private placement of up to $1,250,000 through the sale of up to 10,000,000 flow-through units at a price of $0.10 per unit and up to 2,777,778 non-flow-through Units at a price of $0.09 per unit (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase Warrant. Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of three years after closing at an exercise price of twelve cents. The Offering is not subject to any minimum aggregate subscription.

In addition to other prospectus exemptions commonly relied on in private placements, the Offering will be available to existing shareholders of the Company who, as of the close of business on October 28, 2020, held common shares of the Company (and who continue to hold such common shares as of the closing date), pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-534 - Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain trades to existing security holders and in similar instruments in other jurisdictions in Canada (the "Existing Shareholder Exemption"). The Existing Shareholder Exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of CAD$15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption exceeding the maximum Offering, the Company may adjust the subscriptions received on a pro-rata basis.

The Company will also make the Offering available to certain subscribers pursuant to BC Instrument 45-536 - Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain distributions through an investment dealer (the "Investment Dealer Exemption"). In accordance with the requirements of the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company confirms that there is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay a cash finder's fee to certain finders equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised and issue broker warrants to certain finders in a quantity equal to 6% of the aggregate number of common shares sold. Each broker warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at the same price as the offering warrants at any time for a period of three years following the closing of the Offering. The Company confirms the appointment of Canaccord Genuity Corp. as financial advisor and investment banker to the Company in connection with the Offering.

All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Closing of the Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including those of the TSX Venture Exchange, and certain other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, execution of the subscription agreements between the Company and the subscribers. The Offering is expected to close in mid November.

It is intended that the proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 from the Offering will be used to conduct mineral exploration work that qualifies as Flow Through Exploration Expense under the Income Tax Act (Canada), and the remaining $250,000 will be used for general working capital and additional engineering, development and advanced permitting work contemplated by the Company. Exploration expenditures will be primarily focused on the Company's 100% owned, 198 square kilometre Fox tungsten property and the Highland Valley copper property.
