Nevada Organic Phosphate Announces Encouraging Assay Results From Hole MM26‑10 at Murdock Mountain

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 26, 2026 /CNW/ -- 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 report assay results from hole MM26‑10, a 1.5‑kilometre step‑out along strike at the Murdock Mountain project. Another excellent intersection of 10.89% P₂O₅ over 3.60 metres can now be reported. This is a weighted average over the true thickness. The target Upper Phosphate Zone has again been successfully intersected, extending the strike of phosphate mineralization to over 3 kilometres.

Robin Dow, CEO, commented: "MM26‑10 intersecting the Upper Phosphate Zone is a significant milestone for NOP. This hole extends our confirmed strike length of phosphate mineralization to over 3 kilometres, marking continued and meaningful progress de‑risking our geological model."

Garry Smith, P.Geo., Director, added: "The successful intersection of the Upper Phosphate Zone at a 1.5‑kilometre step‑out is a foundational requirement for future evaluation work. Each assay-confirmed step‑out increases confidence in the scale potential of the sedimentary system and supports NOP's strategy of advancing a clean, organic certifiable low‑contaminant phosphate project, aligned with emerging U.S. critical mineral, agricultural, and regulatory trends." Smith added: "heavy metal and contaminant assays will be released when processed and reviewed."

Geological Model Context

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.

Lab Assaying Methods & QA/QC

All sample preparation and analytical work was carried out by ALS Laboratories ("ALS"), an independent commercial laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for mineral analysis. ALS operates under rigorous quality management systems and is regularly audited by recognized accreditation bodies, including the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA).

Phosphate P₂O₅ assaying was by ME-XRF24 whole-rock analysis: Samples were fused with lithium borate and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). This method provides high-precision determinations of major rock-forming oxides, including phosphorus, calcium, and silica, ensuring accurate characterization of phosphate mineralization.

ALS maintains strict internal QA/QC protocols, including the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates with each batch of samples. These measures ensure that analytical results meet internationally recognized standards of accuracy and reliability, consistent with the requirements of NI 43-101 reporting.

Company Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)

The Company implemented a rigorous QA/QC protocol consistent with NI 43-101 standards, including the insertion of blanks and certified reference materials into the sample stream.

Blanks: The Company regularly inserts a blank comprised of generically sourced sand approximately every 11 samples (or 9.3%) to monitor potential contamination during sample preparation and analysis.

Certified reference materials ("CRM"): CRMs used in mineral exploration are used to assess analytical accuracy and are usually rock powders comprised of known concentrations of the metal(s) of interest. CRMs are usually obtained from commercial suppliers who provide the average of many analyses of the CRMs by multiple labs, which is referred to as the certified value, and a standard deviation of the analyses from which the certified value is determined. A typical criterion for accepting the analyses of CRMs in the mineral industry is that they should fall within a range determined by the certified (or "target") value ± three standard deviations ("3 STD"). Analytical accuracy was verified against BAM 826-1, a certified reference material for phosphate slags issued by Germany's Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). The Company inserts BAM 826-1 CRM standards approximately every 22 samples (or 4.5%), or about 2 per drill hole.

The Company is satisfied that the QA/QC results demonstrate the reliability of the assay data and support the integrity of the phosphate grades reported herein.
