Vancouver, December 28, 2018 - Happy Creek Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:HPY, the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered financing announced November 27, 2018. The Company has completed the sale of 864,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.20 per flow-through share for gross proceeds of $172,800.

In connection with the non-brokered private placement, the Company issued 325,000 common shares to persons that are directors or senior officers of the Company. The Company has determined that exemptions from the various requirements of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") are available for the issuance of the common shares to these related parties. The Company relied on Section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement on the basis that the transaction is a distribution of securities for cash, and Section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority approval requirement as the fair market value of the transaction is not more than $2,500,000.
