Red Moon Potash Inc. - Potash Drilling Program in Western Newfoundland 

Red Moon Potash Inc. ("the Company" - "Red Moon" TSX-V: RMK) is pleased to announce that it has received the necessary
---> exploration approval to proceed with a drilling program on its Bay St. George potash project.  The Company will drill
---> two holes designed to step out 500 metres southwest and 1000 metres northeast from the discovery hole Captain Cook #1
--->.  The potash target zone is anticipated to be penetrated at depths less than 450 metres.

The Company has selected Logan Drilling Limited as drilling contractor, a company with extensive potash drilling exper
--->ience in Atlantic Canada.  Construction of the drill pads will commence in the next few days.  Drilling should commenc
--->e by early June and will take 4-6 weeks to complete.

Red Moon is a subsidiary of Vulcan Minerals Inc.  ("Vulcan").  Vulcan is managing the project on behalf of Red Moon an
--->d brings 15 years of drilling experience in the Bay St. George basin using various drilling techniques.

Previous work in the basin located a new potash discovery in the Captain Cook area with variable grades up to 20% K2O 
--->(32% KCl).  The current program will step out from the discovery hole to better understand the potash distribution in 
--->that area.  The Company has the benefit of an extensive seismic database in the basin to integrate new drill results a
--->nd better define the distribution of the evaporite rocks which contain the potash beds.  The property has immediate ac
--->cess to deep water ports, road and power grid networks.  The property is contained within the larger Maritimes Basin o
--->f Atlantic Canada which hosts the Sussex, (New Brunswick) Potash Mine operated and currently under expansion by Potash
---> Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Commenting on the imminent drilling program Mr. Patrick Laracy, President of both Red Moon and Vulcan noted "We are ve
--->ry excited to be once again at the forefront of new resource exploration in western Newfoundland.  This program will h
--->elp determine the commercial prospects of the Captain Cook area.  There are several other prospects on the 90,000 acre
---> property that will require testing as well.  Ultimately the exploratory phase will include 8-10 holes.  Notwithstandi
--->ng the tepid equity markets we are advancing this project towards attracting a joint venture partner for development w
--->ork.  The available infrastructure and the analogous geology to the potash mine in New Brunswick make for a compelling
---> project."

 


Red Moon is a junior exploration company focused on potash/salt exploration in western Newfoundland.  Vulcan Minerals 
--->Inc (TSX.V: VUL) owns approximately 58% of the common shares of Red Moon.
