Nevada Organic Phosphate Continues 2026 Drill Program with MM26-11 at Murdock Mountain

 

 

 

 

 

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) (FSE: Z58)  a B.C. based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, is pleased to announce the commencement of drill hole MM26-11 on Pad 13 at its Murdock Mountain Project in Nevada.

 

As reported in the Company’s news release dated August 26, 2026, the target Upper Phosphate Zone was again successfully intersected in drill hole MM26-10, extending the strike of phosphate mineralization to over 3 kilometres. MM26-11 continues to move forward along the strike trend an additional 315 metres (1,033 feet) from MM26-10.

 

Drilling remains in progress, and analytical results will be released when available.

 

Drilling of MM26-11 experienced a brief delay due to the replacement of a transfer case in the program’s six-wheel-drive water tanker truck. The replacement component was picked up in Illinois and has now been delivered to the project. Drilling operations are expected to resume this week. The Company commends the drill crew and field personnel for minimizing downtime and maintaining operational readiness during the equipment repair.

 

Robin Dow, CEO, commented: “With MM26-11 now underway, we are continuing to advance our exploration objectives in a measured and systematic manner. Each drill hole contributes valuable information that helps guide the next stage of technical assessment that is needed to support future development decisions of the Murdock Mountain Project.”

 

NOP’s geological model interprets the Upper Phosphate Zone as a laterally extensive, nearly flat-lying sedimentary horizon within the Meade Peak Member of the Phosphoria Formation. Continued step-out drilling is designed to test strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend.

 

Garry Smith, P.Geo., Director, added: “The commencement of MM26-11 marks another step in the systematic evaluation of the project area. Geological logging, sampling, and analytical data generated from the hole will contribute to our ongoing assessment of the phosphatic sequence and help guide future activities. A brief delay was encountered while replacing the transfer case in the six-wheel-drive water tanker, one of the two trucks that supports drilling operations. The replacement part has now arrived on site, and we expect drilling to resume shortly. I would like to recognize the drilling crew for their efforts in minimizing downtime and maintaining the program’s momentum.”

 

Drill hole MM26-10 was collared at 722867.805E and 4567500.233N (surveyed).

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc.

 

NOP is a junior exploration company with an organic certifiable sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6 kilometres long, in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic certifiable sedimentary phosphate project in North America. It is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and the rail head to California or the East Coast.
