Strong Initial Assay Results Confirm Phosphate Potential at Murdock Mountain

NOP · Price

Executive Summary

  • Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. released initial assay results from its Murdock Mountain Property, showing high‑grade phosphate mineralization in the Upper Phosphatic Zone.
  • The three first drill holes (MM25‑1, MM25‑2, MM25‑3) returned intercepts of 10.23 %–11.2 % P₂O₅ over roughly 4.7–5.1 m true thickness, exceeding the company’s target range of 7–10 % P₂O₅.
  • Additional assay data (remaining holes and heavy‑metal/contaminant results) will be released in the coming weeks.

Key Details

  • Target Zone: Upper Phosphatic Zone, 3.4–7.6 m thick within the Meade Peak Member (siltstone & phosphorite).
  • Drill Hole MM25‑1: 10.23 % P₂O₅ over 5.12 m (true thickness ≈ 4.61 m).
  • Drill Hole MM25‑2: 10.7 % P₂O₅ over 4.79 m (true thickness ≈ 4.31 m).
  • Drill Hole MM25‑3: 11.2 % P₂O₅ over 4.70 m (true thickness ≈ 4.23 m).
  • Detailed interval data provided for each hole, including sub‑interval grades (e.g., MM25‑1 sample 977126: 17.8 % P₂O₅ over 1.16 m).
  • Assay Methodology:
  • Whole‑rock P₂O₅ by ME‑XRF24 (fusion with lithium borate, X‑ray fluorescence).
  • Heavy metals by ME‑MS61 (four‑acid digestion, ICP‑MS/AES).
  • QA/QC: Conducted by ALS Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited); blanks inserted every ~11 samples, CRMs (BAM 826‑1) every ~22 samples. Results meet NI 43‑101 standards.
  • Qualified Person: Kenneth N. Tullar, AIPG Certified Professional Geologist, reviewed and approved the technical content.
  • Future Releases: Assays for remaining three holes and contaminant data to be issued in coming days/weeks.

Notable Quotes

“We’re thrilled to report that phosphate assays from our first three drill holes continue to align with our expectations and with our geological model.” – Robin Dow, CEO

“It can be challenging to explain to our followers what constitutes a strong phosphate grade for an organic raw rock phosphate target like ours. We’re developing an entirely new approach to phosphate fertilizer application, and our research indicates that a target range of 7–10 % P₂O₅ is both realistic and desirable.” – Paul Pitman, P.Geo., Director
