Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2026) - Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) ("NOP" or the "Company"), a B.C. based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, is pleased to report continued progress on its 2025-2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Project, located in northeastern Nevada. All required pre-clearance wildlife surveys associated with the Company's Exploration Permit have now been completed with no issues identified. In addition, both designated sage grouse lek sites have undergone their first scheduled survey without concern, and the second and final survey will be completed shortly in accordance with regulatory timing windows.
These environmental confirmations allow NOP to advance toward the next phase of field work. The Company expects to have the bulldozer back on site momentarily to complete construction of the new drill pads. Once pad preparations are underway, our drilling contractor will resume drilling to further evaluate the strike potential and thickness, lateral continuity, and grade characteristics of the phosphate zone that outcrops across our project area.
CEO Robin Dow stated: "Nevada is in a major exploration boom cycle and environmental consultants and drilling companies are operating at capacity. We are excited to be completing our pre-clearance wildlife surveys and to be returning to drilling with our new contractor within our optimal project timelines."
The Murdock Mountain Project hosts a shallow dipping, road accessible sedimentary phosphate zone that has demonstrated consistent mineralization in our 2025 drill core sampling. The upcoming drill holes are designed to expand the geological model strike potential, refine structural controls, and support future resource classification work.
Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF)
