Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 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 provide an update on the current exploration activities at Murdock Mountain. NOP has received a number of queries on the status of NOP's 3 additional Applications to Prospect.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has accepted NOP's 3 new Applications for Phosphate Prospecting, filed by Nevada Phosphate Exploration, NV Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NOP. These 3 new applications add an additional 6,011 acres of potential phosphate resource to NOP's existing Nevagro Permit covering 1,813 acres.

CEO Robin Dow stated: "This expansion of our application footprint is the result of careful geological work and steady progress through the regulatory framework. We will continue to move forward responsibly, ensuring that each stage of exploration is supported by sound data and full compliance with NEPA and BLM processes."

NOP is currently working with its Environmental Consultants to finalize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements for environmental assessments. These are necessary to fulfil the BLM's requirements for granting Exploration Permits. All new Applications fall outside of any sage grouse or general habitat management areas. Based on this, and on the Company's recent experience, NOP is optimistic that the review process may progress more efficiently than the previous Nevagro application.

The Murdock Mountain Property hosts a nearly flat-lying sedimentary phosphate horizon within the Meade Peak Formation. The initial 1,813-acre Nevagro Exploration Permit area is interpreted to contain an Exploration Target Mineral Inventory (ETMI) of 10 to 46 million tonnes, grading 3-15% P₂O₅, based on an average thickness of 3.5 metres and a specific gravity of 2.6. These ranges are derived from historical mapping and academic research and have not been verified by NOP under current NI 43-101 standards.

To date, the first six drill holes completed by NOP have returned an average grade of 10.95% P₂O₅ over a true thickness of 4.20 metres (13.8 ft), consistent with the geological model for the Upper Phosphatic Zone.

Garry Smith, P.Geo and Director stated: "The current phase of work is about building the technical confidence needed to support future decisions. Our team will continue collecting the geological, structural, and analytical data required to determine whether a mineral resource estimate can be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. We are advancing each step carefully and in full alignment with regulatory and scientific standards."

Based on the initial ETMI parameters (3-15% P₂O₅, 3.5 m average thickness, SG 2.6), the 3 new Applications to Prospect increase the conceptual exploration potential to more than 200 million tonnes of phosphate-bearing material. The combined Nevagro Permit and new applications can be grouped into four areas:

4 Project Areas: Nevagro Permit, South, North, and Far North Applications

The strike length of the Meade Peak Upper Phosphate Zone is not a primary focus because of the nearly flat-lying nature of the mineralization. Tonnes per Section are more the focus of exploration.

While strike length has increased from approximately 6.6 km to 26-33.4 kilometres, the Company notes that, due to the flat-lying geometry of the mineralization, tonnes per section remain the more relevant metric for exploration planning.

Cautionary Statement: "The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target Mineral Inventory (ETMI) disclosed herein are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource. The ETMI is not being reported as part of any mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate. The ranges presented are based on geological mapping, outcrop and trench sampling, and no economic analysis has been completed. Investors are cautioned that Exploration Targets must not be used as a proxy for mineral resources or reserves."

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Garry K Smith, P.Geo., a director of NOP and Qualified Person as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

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.
