Nevada Organic Phosphate Reports Consistently Strong P2O5 Grades over 10% Across All 2025 Drill Holes at Murdock Mountain

NOP · Price

Executive Summary

  • Nevada Organic Phosphate released final P₂O₅ assay results from its 2025 drill program at the Murdock Mountain Property, confirming consistent high‑grade phosphate mineralization in the Upper Phosphatic Zone.
  • Six holes (MM25‑1 to MM25‑6) returned intercepts ranging from 10.23% to 11.89% P₂O₅ over thicknesses of 3.71–5.12 m, with a notable lower‑zone intercept of 17.47% P₂O₅ over 4.11 m in hole MM25‑6.
  • The results support the company’s geological model and indicate that both the Upper and Lower Zones remain open for further drilling to the west.

Key Details

  • Upper Phosphatic Zone intercepts
  • MM25‑1: 10.23% P₂O₅ over 5.12 m (true thickness 4.61 m)
  • MM25‑2: 10.70% P₂O₅ over 4.79 m (true thickness 4.31 m)
  • MM25‑3: 11.20% P₂O₅ over 4.70 m (true thickness 4.23 m)
  • MM25‑4: 10.64% P₂O₅ over 3.71 m (true thickness 3.70 m)
  • MM25‑5: 11.01% P₂O₅ over 3.96 m (true thickness 3.90 m)
  • MM25‑6: 11.89% P₂O₅ over 4.58 m (true thickness 4.44 m)

  • Lower Zone intercept (new discovery) – Hole MM25‑6 intersected 17.47% P₂O₅ over 4.11 m (true thickness 3.99 m). The Lower Zone remains open to the west for additional drilling.

  • Assay methodology – Phosphate assayed by ME‑XRF24 whole‑rock analysis; heavy metals will be reported in coming weeks.

  • QA/QC – All samples processed by ALS Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited). Certified reference materials and blanks inserted per NI 43‑101 standards; independent Qualified Person Kenneth N. Tullar reviewed and approved the technical content.

  • Geological context – Upper Phosphatic Zone thickness 3.4–7.6 m within the Meade Peak Member; dip measured at ~26° in early holes, but core axis to bedrock angles suggest a flattening to 5‑10°.

  • Future work – Company plans additional westward drill holes to test continuity of both Upper and Lower Zones.

Notable Quotes

  • Robin Dow, CEO: “The results continue to align with the Company's geological model and previously stated expectations, noting that grades in the 7–10% P₂O₅ range remain a realistic and desirable target for the project.”
  • Garry Smith, Director & P.Geo.: “In addition to the 1.5 km of consistently strong results over 10% P₂O₅ from the primary target Upper Phosphatic Zone, the unexpected strength of the Lower Zone interval will also be monitored closely as drilling progresses westward, as it may contribute meaningfully to the evolving target model potential.”
