VANCOUVER, British Columbia — November 10, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) announced that phosphate has been officially designated a critical mineral by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Department of the Interior.
The designation recognizes phosphate’s essential role in food security, fertilizer production, and national economic stability.
Robin Dow, CEO of Nevada Organic Phosphate, said the recognition validates their belief in the strategic importance of domestic phosphate production and that the project is uniquely positioned to contribute to U.S. supply chain resilience while supporting sustainable agriculture.
Dow also noted the designation may facilitate access to federal permitting support, strategic funding initiatives, and increased visibility among institutional investors focused on domestic resource development.
The Company’s wholly owned Murdock Mountain sedimentary phosphate project, located in northeastern Nevada, is now strategically aligned with federal priorities for domestic mineral development.
The project hosts an organic-rich sedimentary phosphate horizon with low heavy metal content, making the material potentially well-suited for organic agricultural applications. Drilling is currently underway to confirm the chemistry, grade, and thickness of the phosphate within the Meade Peak formation.
Nevada Organic Phosphate remains committed to responsible exploration and transparent disclosure and will provide further updates as the Company progresses toward defining a compliant mineral resource.

NOP is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6 kilometers long, in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometers. 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.
