Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) announced that the Bureau of Land Management has accepted three additional Applications to Prospect, adding 6,011 acres to its existing 1,813-acre Nevagro permit at the Murdock Mountain property. This expansion significantly increases the company's land position in northeast Nevada, where it is exploring what is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America.
The new applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres, building on the previously identified 6.6-kilometre-long organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed. The company is advancing environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) while continuing exploration work, including drilling that has returned average grades of 10.95% P2O5. These results are being used to build toward a potential NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.
The Murdock Mountain property is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California, providing logistical advantages for potential future development. The company's focus on organic sedimentary phosphate is notable, as it differs from conventional phosphate deposits and may offer unique benefits for agricultural applications.

As the company progresses through environmental reviews and continued drilling, investors and industry observers will be watching for updates on the resource estimate and any further expansion of the project.
