Nevada Organic Phosphate Provides Update on Environmental Pre-Clearance Surveys and Drilling Program

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 23, 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 regarding the status of environmental pre-clearance surveys and the anticipated timing of drilling activities at its Murdock Mountain phosphate project.

As part of the regulatory requirements administered by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and the Nevada Department of Wildlife (“NDOW”), biological and cultural pre-clearance surveys must be completed prior to the commencement of field operations. The Company’s environmental consultant has not completed the required surveys within the originally anticipated timeframe. As a result, the initiation of the Company’s planned drilling program has been delayed.

To ensure timely completion of the outstanding regulatory work, the Company has retained an additional environmental consulting firm with the capacity to advance the remaining BLM and NDOW pre-clearance requirements. The Company expects that the addition of this second consultant, who will be on the ground this week, will improve scheduling reliability and reduce the risk of further delays associated with environmental compliance.

Due to the delay in survey completion, the Company’s contracted drilling provider has moved to other scheduled commitments, resulting in a delay before they can remobilize to the project. To mitigate the impact of this delay on the overall program schedule, the Company is finalizing a contract with a second drilling contractor that is able to mobilize once the required environmental clearances have been issued.

Robin Dow, CEO, stated: “We are pleased to be expanding our environmental team to ensure that all required BLM and NDOW pre-clearance work is completed efficiently and in full alignment with regulatory timing expectations. Adding an additional environmental consultant strengthens our ability to maintain project momentum and improve scheduling reliability. We have also taken steps to secure a second drilling contractor so that we are positioned to begin drilling as soon as the necessary clearances are issued. These actions reflect our commitment to advancing the project responsibly while reducing the risk of further delays.”

The Company will provide further updates as the environmental survey work progresses and as revised drilling timelines are confirmed.
