Nevada Organic Announces Decision Issued to Authorize the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Exploration Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 17, 2024) – Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (“NOP” or the “Company), a B.C. based company engaged in the exploration for organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate in Nevada, is pleased to announce that, NOP’s wholly owned subsidiary Nevagro, has been informed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that they are authorizing the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Exploration Project.

“It is my decision to authorize the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Exploration Project, as described in the Proposed Action of the Environmental Assessment (EA) (DOI-BLM-NV-E030-2024-0010-EA). The EA analyzed the Proposed Action and found no significant impacts; a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been issued; therefore, preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required. This decision approves the Exploration Plan portion of the Prospecting Permit Application submitted to the BLM on March 12, 2012. The Prospecting Permit will be issued separately,” signed by the BLM Deputy State Director – Energy and Minerals Nevada State Office.

“Our Team is very excited by this latest decision to approve the Exploration Plan portion of the Prospecting Permit Application. The next step in the process will be a request from the BLM to submit a Reclamation Bond. In accordance with US Federal Regulation 43 CFR § 3504.50, a Reclamation Bond will be required once the official decision is made to approve the Prospecting Permit Application,” stated Robin Dow, Chief Executive Officer, Nevada Organic Phosphate.

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc.

NOP is a junior exploration company with a sedimentary rock phosphate property (the “Murdock Property”) hosting a nearly flat lying sedimentary bed of known phosphate mineralization in NE Nevada.

The increasing interest in organic and sustainable agriculture practices has contributed to the demand for organic fertilizers, including those derived from rock phosphate. Organic rock phosphate is often marketed as a fertilizer that not only provides phosphorus but also contributes to overall soil health.

The Issuer aims to be one of the only certified organic rock phosphate producers with large scale potential in North America. The Murdock Property is situated adjacent to a main highway and the rail head to California.

5.7 earthquake hits northern Nevada; damage reported

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – An earthquake struck in the northern part of Nevada on Monday, causing at least some “light” to “moderate” damage in some of the immediate surrounding areas, according to reports gathered by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck shortly before 6:30 p.m. PST on Monday near Fallon, Nevada, about 12 miles southeast of Silver Springs, the USGS reported.

The area is just 40 miles northeast of the state capital, Carson City, and 400 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

Data gathered by the USGS shows reports of “light” to “moderate” damage observed around the epicenter of a 5.7 magnitude quake, along with “strong” to “very strong” shaking. The jolts were enough to shatter glass and scatter products along the floor of a grocery store in the town of Fallon, as seen in images shared with the Associated Press.

Trina Enloe told the news agency that she was sitting with one of her daughters as she did homework in their dining room when the quake hit.

“You could hear the rumbling just coming before it even got to us,” Enloe said. The shaking continued for about a minute, she added, during which some cast-iron candle holders were knocked over. Enloe didn’t see any cracks or damage in her home, though.

Those in Nevada with similar experiences are advised to contribute a report through the USGS’s “Felt Report” platform.

Nevada Supreme Court upholds Michele Fiore’s interim suspension

Nevada Supreme Court upholds Michele Fiore’s interim suspension

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld an interim suspension for Pahrump Justice of the Peace Michele Fiore as she faces an investigation into complaints of possible misconduct.

In a unanimous ruling filed Friday, the high court said Fiore’s challenge is moot because the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline is still investigating the complaints against her, and hasn’t imposed any official punishment or filed formal charges.

“We conclude Judge Fiore has not demonstrated the Commission abused its discretion in determining that an interim suspension was warranted,” the ruling states.

The Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline suspended Fiore after a jury found her guilty in a 2024 federal trial on six counts of wire fraud and a count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Prosecutors alleged that she solicited donations on the premise that they would go toward statues of two fallen Las Vegas police officers while she was a city councilwoman, but instead used the money on personal expenses, including plastic surgery and her daughter’s wedding.

Fiore, who denied the allegations, received a pardon from President Donald Trump last year. She filed for re-election in January.

The Judicial Discipline Commission kept her suspension in place with pay, writing that Trump’s pardon did not preclude it “from considering a judge’s ongoing conduct.”

Fiore filed a petition with the high court challenging the commission’s jurisdiction to discipline her for conduct from before she became a justice of the peace, though the commission says it “based the suspension on an allegation that Judge Fiore has engaged in misconduct during her time as a judicial officer,” according to the Supreme Court.

In a statement released Friday, Fiore said she was willing to wait for the commission’s investigation to play out.

“While we are disappointed the Supremes chose not to address those issues now, this is not the end of the fight, it is simply the next step,” Fiore’s statement reads.
