Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2023) - Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) ("NOP" or the "Company"), would like to announce and welcome Mr. Keith Li as its new Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Li is an experienced Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA) with over 15 years of corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting experience. He specializes in providing management advisory services, accounting and regulatory compliance services to both public and private companies in a number of industries including junior mining, cannabis, health and wellness, and merchant banking. Mr. Li began his career in the public accounting sector as an auditor and has also held a senior-level position at Sears Canada and multiple reporting issuers. He also holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from McGill University.
In connection with Mr. Li's appointment the Company has agreed to pay $12,500 in common shares (each a "Share") in the capital of the Company upon the six-month anniversary of his appointment at the then current market price, subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Compensation Shares"). The Shares will be issued pursuant to the prospectus exemption provided under Section 2.24 of National Instrument 45-106 -Prospectus Exemptions. All Shares have a hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.
Accordingly, the Compensation Shares will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance of the Shares will be exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by the virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company's Shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) as the value of the Compensation Shares do not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Furthermore, the Company would like to announce the resignation of its current Chief Financial Officer, Doug Wallis. The Company thanks Mr. Wallis for more than 12 years of good and faithful service to NOP and other management associated companies.

All securities issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after the date of issuance, as set out in National Instrument 45-102 - Resale of Securities.
