Nevada Organic Phosphate Announces Phosphate Mineralization Intersected In Initial Drill Holes at Murdock Mountain

Executive Summary

• Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. reported encouraging preliminary observations from two drill holes (MM25‑1 and MM25‑2) on its Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada.
• Both holes intersected over 30 m of phosphate‑bearing stratigraphy that appears to be close to true thickness, supporting the company’s geological model for the Upper Phosphatic Zone.
• Laboratory assay results are pending; the company will release them once validated.

Key Details

• Drill Hole MM25‑1 – Located at 724404E, 4568973N; drilled vertically to 82.6 m (271 ft); intersected ~38 m (125 ft) of favourable phosphate‑bearing stratigraphy (assay results pending).
• Drill Hole MM25‑2 – Located at 724767E, 4569272N; drilled vertically to 125.73 m (412.5 ft); intersected ~32 m (105 ft) of favourable phosphate‑bearing stratigraphy (assay results pending).
• Spacing: The two holes are approximately 467 m apart along the interpreted phosphate trend, believed to be near true thickness.
• Geochemical Screening: Core logging employed an Olympus Vanta M Series XRF Analyzer for real‑time screening; readings are qualitative and not a substitute for certified assays.
• Exploration Target: Upper Phosphatic Zone within the Meade Peak Member, expected thickness 3.4–7.6 m (11–25 ft) of phosphatic siltstone/phosphorite.
• Future Work: Company plans step‑out drilling along the trend until winter conditions necessitate a seasonal pause.
• Qualified Person: Kenneth N. Tullar, AIPG Certified Professional Geologist (CPG‑11142), reviewed and approved technical content.
