Nevada Organic Phosphate's Exploration Progress at Murdock Mountain: New Mineralization Found

Exciting Developments in Phosphate Exploration at Murdock Mountain

On October 21, 2026, Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (NOP) made a significant announcement regarding their ongoing exploration activities at Murdock Mountain, located in northeast Nevada. The company, known for its commitment to organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, revealed that they have achieved promising results in their drilling efforts.

The drilling of hole MM26-12 intersected a substantial section of the target mineral, specifically the Meade Peak Member, measuring 37.4 meters (or 94.2 feet). During the core logging process, the presence of oolitic zones typical of the Upper Phosphate Zone was noted, providing a strong indication of the site's potential. However, the exact phosphate content and the true thickness of the Upper Phosphatic Zone will be confirmed pending assay results.

This hole is positioned approximately 200 meters (656 feet) southwest of the previously drilled Hole MM26-11, which brings the confirmed strike length of the target zone to over 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles). Such an extension of the confirmed strike length is a positive development for the company as they work to validate their geological model and demystify the potential of the resource.

Robin Dow, CEO of NOP, expressed enthusiasm about the findings. He stated, "We are very excited to be able to increase our drilling production with MM26-12, also intersecting the Meade Peak with visual indications of the Upper Phosphate Zone. This extends our confirmed strike length of phosphate mineralization to over 3.5 kilometers, marking continued and meaningful progress de-risking our geological model."

Garry Smith, P.Geo. and Director of the company, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the steady improvement in drilling production. He pointed out that the completion of MM26-12 was without significant complications, making it another successful drilling endeavor.

NOP is navigating the complexities of mineral exploration in one of the country's known sedimentary phosphate-rich regions. Positioned adjacent to primary transportation routes that lead to both Montello/Elko, Nevada, and further to California and the East Coast, the location of NOP’s project enhances its logistical advantage.

The company holds a unique position in North America, as it is believed to operate the only large-scale organic certifiable sedimentary phosphate project on the continent. With an extensive phosphate bed measuring approximately 6.6 kilometers long, the potential strike could extend to over 30 kilometers based on additional applications.

While awaiting assay results, the excitement around these drilling feats brings optimism to both the company and its investors. Forward-looking statements warn, however, that results can vary and that the company maintains no obligation to update any forward-looking statements unless required by law.

As NOP continues to explore the vast potential hidden within the sedimentary rock formations at Murdock Mountain, the company invites stakeholders and interested parties to remain engaged and attentive to upcoming developments that could shape the future of their phosphate exploration endeavors.
