Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), a B.C.-based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, reported encouraging preliminary observations from its ongoing 2026 drilling campaign at the Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada. The company said drill hole MM26-7 intersected an apparent 39 metres of the targeted Meade Peak stratigraphic interval. The drill hole was completed to a depth of 152 metres and positioned roughly 100 metres north and upslope from drill hole MM25-1 completed during the prior exploration season (https://ibn.fm/S9rmS).
According to the company, last year’s MM25-1 hole intersected approximately 38 metres of the same interval, and the new results reinforce continuity of the phosphate zone. The company is advancing a broader exploration program focused on the Upper Phosphatic Zone within the Meade Peak Member, a key target for organic phosphate fertilizers. Nevada Organic Phosphate is targeting the expanding North American market for direct application organic phosphate fertilizer, which is in high demand as farmers seek sustainable alternatives to conventional synthetic fertilizers.
Domestic phosphate supply is becoming critical amid global fertilizer supply-chain uncertainty and geopolitical concentration risk. The Murdock Mountain Property benefits from access to highway, rail, and trucking infrastructure, serving national agricultural markets. This strategic advantage positions the company to address the growing need for reliable, domestic sources of organic phosphate. The preliminary observations from hole MM26-7, pending assay confirmation, suggest the potential for a significant resource that could help reduce reliance on imported phosphate. The company plans to continue its exploration program to further delineate the deposit and assess its economic viability.
