Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) has commenced its 2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Project in northeastern Nevada, following the completion of required wildlife and sage-grouse surveys. The company is preparing additional drill pads to expand understanding of the phosphate zone’s strike extent, thickness, continuity and grade characteristics, according to a press release.
The Murdock Mountain project features a shallow-dipping, road-accessible sedimentary phosphate target zone that could support direct-application organic fertilizer production without chemical processing. This approach aligns with growing demand for organic and regenerative farming inputs in the U.S. agricultural market.
“Tightening global fertilizer supply, including LPG disruptions linked to instability in the Persian Gulf, may increase interest in phosphate projects that do not rely heavily on fossil-fuel-based inputs,” the company noted. The project’s potential to produce organic phosphate without chemical processing could offer a strategic alternative amid supply chain volatility.
Nevada Organic Phosphate is targeting the broader U.S. agricultural market, particularly the growing organic and regenerative farming sectors. The company announced on April 13 that all required wildlife and sage-grouse lek pre-clearance surveys tied to its exploration permit have been completed without issue, allowing site preparation to continue. A bulldozer contractor has returned to complete the remaining drill pads, after which drilling will proceed.
The Murdock Mountain project is one of the few known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate target zones in North America. By advancing this program, the company aims to establish a domestic source of organic phosphate fertilizer that reduces dependence on imported and chemically processed alternatives.
