The holes are being drilled by a continuous coring rig operated by Logan Drilling Limited, an established and experienced driller in this geologic environment. Holes are not expected to exceed 600 meters in depth.
The Captain Cook salt/potash project is located in the Bay St. George Basin of Western Newfoundland near deep water ports and an airport. The Trans Canada highway and high voltage electrical power lines cross the property. The project is delineating an evaporite package of rocks analogous to the potash/salt mines in the Sussex basin of New Brunswick. Red Moon owns a 100% working interest subject to a 3% royalty to its parent company, Vulcan Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VUL). Vulcan is providing project management services to Red Moon, capitalizing on Vulcan’s drilling experience in the region.
