Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), a B.C. based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, is pleased to report encouraging preliminary observations from drill hole MM26-8, recently completed on its wholly owned Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada.

The Company’s exploration target is the Upper Phosphatic Zone, a 3.4 to 7.6 metre (11 to 25 feet) interval within the Meade Peak Member, which itself typically comprises 28 to 40 metres (92 to 131 feet) of phosphatic siltstone and phosphorite. This stratigraphic framework is based on the work of William Fedewa (M.Sc. thesis, 1980) from trench observations. Variations in the thickness of the Upper Phosphatic Zone encountered during the current drill program will be confirmed through laboratory assays.

Drill Hole MM26-8 – Preliminary Observations

Drill Hole MM26-8, located at 724052E, 4568778N, (UTM NAD83) was drilled vertically to a depth of 128 metres (419.8 feet). The drill collar is positioned approximately 100 metres north and upslope from last fall’s drill holes MM25-4&5. MM26-8 intersected an apparent 15.3 metres (50.2 feet) of the Meade Peak unit. True thickness and the phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone will be confirmed by assay.

Drill Hole MM26-9, has now been collared, and is located approximately 100 metres north and upslope from last fall’s drill hole MM25-6. The drill crew is currently on mandatory rest period and drilling will continue shortly. Coordinates and preliminary geological observations will be reported once received from the logging team.

The Company will release laboratory assay results once received and validated.

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF)

NOP is a junior exploration company with an organic 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 sedimentary phosphate project in North America. It is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California or the East Coast.
