Nevada Organic Phosphate ($NOP / $NOPFF) is moving into its next drill phase at Murdock Mountain after completing pad construction and site prep. The drill contractor is now mobilizing, with drilling set to resume shortly.

They’re targeting the Meade Peak phosphate zone, focusing on continuity, thickness, and grade across the property.

Initial 2025 drilling averaged ~10.95% P₂O₅ over 4.2m, which aligns with the current model. There’s also a conceptual exploration target of 10–46Mt at 3–15% P₂O₅, though this isn’t a defined resource yet.

This phase is about tightening the geology and moving closer to a potential resource.

Loyalist Exploration (CSE: PNGC) has engaged P&E Mining Consultants to advance the Tully Gold Project in Timmins through a full technical evaluation process.

The work will move from an internal resource estimate to a NI 43-101 compliant resource and then into a Preliminary Economic Assessment, which is where projects start to show whether they can actually work economically.

Tully is in a proven mining district with strong infrastructure and historical high-grade results, but the existing resource is not compliant, so this step is important to validate and update the data.

Aztec Minerals just dropped another update out of Tombstone and it’s starting to look like they’re actually building scale, not just chasing high-grade hits.

Latest drilling is expanding the near-surface oxide gold-silver zone, and importantly, it’s still open. That matters because this isn’t deep, expensive drilling, this is the kind of material that could support open-pit, heap leach economics if it keeps growing.

What stands out:

• Mineralization continues to expand beyond the historical Contention pit
• Shallow intercepts = lower potential cost profile
• Ongoing drilling targeting both expansion and new zones
• Working toward a maiden resource, not just more holes

This is all happening at their Tombstone Project in Arizona, where they already control a large portion of a historic mining district that produced high-grade silver and gold back in the day

Nevada Organic Phosphate ($NOP / $NOPFF) just started its 2026 drill program at Murdock Mountain in NE Nevada, and importantly, all wildlife and sage-grouse surveys are done and approved.

Pads are being finished now, with drilling focused on expanding the phosphate zone along strike and tightening up continuity, thickness, and grade.

A few things that stand out:

• Shallow, road-accessible phosphate horizon
• Consistent mineralization from 2025 drilling
• Program is staying on schedule despite contractor changes
• Focus is moving toward building out a more defined resource

Loyalist is expanding its footprint in the Timmins Mining District with 26 newly staked, contiguous claims at Loveland—further strengthening its position in a highly prospective nickel-copper-gold corridor.

 This strategic addition builds on an already promising land package, enhancing exploration potential along key geological trends. With strong historical results and growing scale, Loyalist continues to execute on its “Buy Timmins, Mine Timmins” strategy.

The plan is pretty straightforward: start with an օդborne geophysical survey to map what’s underground, follow it up with some on-the-ground prospecting, and then move into drilling based on what they find. 

Total budget is around C$1.1M — a structured, step-by-step way to advance the project:
