Ringbolt Samples Submitted on Lisbon Valley Potash Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/11 -- Ringbolt Ventures Ltd. (the 'Company' or 'Ringbolt'), (TSX VENTURE: RBV)(OTCQX: RNGTF)(FRANKFURT: 3OZ) The Company has submitted core samples for analysis from its Lisbon Valley Potash Project in the state of Utah.
Sixty-three (63) one-foot composite core samples were collected from the Ringbolt Venture's state section RBV-11-36A-1 core hole. (from drilling announced on June 21, 2011) These samples were submitted to the accredited SGS Minerals Services analytical laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario on August 26, 2011 for the following mineral analysis:
Boron, Bromide, Calcium, Carnallite, Chloride, Halite, Lithium, Magnesium, Potassium, Potassium (total), Potassium Chloride, Potassium Oxide, Sodium, Sulfate, Sulfur, Sylvite, Moisture and Insoluables, and 31 elemental ICP scan.
The reverse circulation drilling was carried out from surface to a depth of 2,474 feet, where the first drill core point was located. Core drilling was carried out from 2,474 feet to 2,728 feet. The drill then switched back to reverse circulation drilling from 2,728 feet to 3,374 feet to the second projected core point. The remainder of the hole was cored to the end of the hole at 3,449 feet.
Mr Simon Tam, President of Ringbolt Ventures stated, 'With the ongoing drilling activities on our Lisbon valley state section located within the Know Potash Leasing Area (KPLA) we are excited to validate the potential of our property.'
Potash was first discovered in the Paradox Basin in an oil and gas well in 1924. In 1962, Superior Oil Company drilled the first potash at the crest of the Lisbon Valley anticline. Since 1964, potash and by product salt have been produced from the Cane Creek mine. The Cane Creek mine was first owned and operated by Texas Gulf Sulphur, and is now owned and operated by Intrepid Potash Company. Potash was originally produced by underground mining and, in 1970, the mine was converted to solution mining. Solution mining has proven to be the ideal process in the project area because of the hot summers and low humidity. The mine has produced nearly continuously since 1964, and reportedly has a future mine life of 30 years.
