Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) has announced that Falcon Drilling is mobilizing to its Murdock Mountain property to complete the planned 2026 drilling program. The move follows successful drilling results that have significantly expanded the known extent of phosphate mineralization at the project, underscoring the potential scale of what the company describes as the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America.
The company reported that drill hole MM26-10 successfully intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, extending the confirmed strike length of phosphate mineralization to more than 3 kilometres. This extension is a critical development because it demonstrates that the mineralized system is continuous over a substantial distance, increasing the resource potential of the property. Additional drilling is planned along the strike trend to further test this continuity.
Further interpretation of assay data confirmed that drill hole MM26-8 also intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, returning 4.60% P2O5 over 5 metres true thickness. This result provides valuable grade and thickness information that will help refine the geological model. The company said continued step-out drilling is designed to test strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend.
The importance of these developments lies in their implications for resource expansion and project de-risking. With a confirmed strike length of over 3 kilometres and additional applications extending the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres, Murdock Mountain could host a globally significant phosphate deposit. Phosphate is a critical input for organic fertilizers, and demand for organic sedimentary phosphate is growing as sustainable agriculture practices expand. Nevada Organic Phosphate’s project is strategically located in northeast Nevada, close to the main highway to Montello/Elko and near the rail head to California, which could provide logistical advantages for future development.
For investors, the mobilization of Falcon Drilling and the continued positive drilling results signal that the company is on track to advance the project. The 2026 drilling program aims to build on these findings, potentially leading to a maiden resource estimate and further economic studies. As the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, Nevada Organic Phosphate offers a unique investment opportunity in a sector that is essential for food security and sustainable agriculture.
