ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwired - Dec. 10, 2015) - Red Moon Potash Inc. ("the Company" - "Red Moon") (TSX VENTURE:RMK) announces that as part of the preparation for a National Instrument 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Assessment Report on the Captain Cook Salt project in western Newfoundland, drill holes CC1 - CC5 were further sampled and analysed. The sampling was designed to provide a higher density of analysis throughout the holes. The analysis of 165 samples from the 5 core holes (2002, 2013 -2014 drilling program) was previously released. The current program consists of 142 new samples. The following Table is a compilation of the new samples with NaCl (salt) concentrations exceeding 94% which represents 101 of the 142 samples. The results confirm the overall tenor of mineralization as established by the previous analysis.
Samples were analysed for sodium chloride (NaCl) by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario as directed by the ASTM International standard methodology D632-12, which provides specifications for sodium chloride intended as a road deicer. Standard D632-12 is widely used in Canada and the US as the primary benchmark for road salt quality and requires a minimum grade of 95% NaCl. Samples are prepared by first crushing the sample to 300-µm sieve size. The pulverized sample is dissolved in distilled water and titrated using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an indicator. The results are accurate to 0.1% NaCl; because titration is a direct measurement of concentration, there is no need to calculate NaCl as is the case in ICP-based methods.
All new samples referenced above were sampled, packaged, labelled and transported by or under the direct supervision of company personnel Patrick J. Laracy, P. Geo, President, and Patrick Collins, P. Geo, who are qualified persons responsible for the contents of this news release as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Red Moon is engaged in the exploration and delineation of a salt/potash deposit in western Newfoundland. It is currently preparing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource assessment report for the Captain Cook salt deposit. Vulcan Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VUL) owns approximately 67% of the common shares of Red Moon and owns a 3% royalty on the project lands. The Company currently owns 902 mineral claims covering approximately 22,500 hectares of prospective lands for salt/potash in the Bay St. George Basin. The basin is of similar geology to the Sussex basin in New Brunswick where potash and salt are currently being mined.
