Nevada Organic Phosphate intercepts phosphate assays at Murdock Mountain MM26-9
Nevada Organic Phosphate Reports Encouraging Phosphate Assays From Drill Hole MM26-9 at Murdock Mountain PR Newswire VANCOUVER, BC , July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. ("NOP" or the "Company") (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) , a B.C. based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, is pleased to announce continued excellent phosphate assays from our drill program's hole MM26-9, recently completed on our 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. Location Coordinates (UTM NAD 83) Drill Hole MM26-9 – Preliminary Observations Drill Hole MM26-9, located at 723798E, 4568545N, was drilled vertically to a depth of 146.93 metres (481.93 feet). The drill collar is positioned approximately 100 metres north and upslope from last fall's drill hole MM25-6.
The Upper Phosphate Zone was intersected with a weighted average of 10.73% P 2 O 5 over an apparent thickness of 4.50 metres  (14.76 feet). The core angles recorded were 80-90 degrees; therefore the true thickness is 4.48 metres (14.70 feet). Drill hole MM25-6 completed last fall, intersected 4.58 metres of 11.89% P 2 O 5 in the Upper Phosphate Zone and returned an unexpected 17.47% P 2 O 5  over 4.11 metres in the Lower Phosphate Zone.
MM26-9 returned a more typical Lower Phosphate Zone interval of 8.18% P 2 O 5 over 1.00 metres. Robin Dow, CEO &
