Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) has announced assay results from drill hole MM26-10 at its Murdock Mountain project, revealing 10.89% P2O5 over 3.60 metres true thickness. This hole, a 1.5-kilometre step-out along strike, successfully intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone and extended the confirmed strike of phosphate mineralization to more than 3 kilometres. The company indicates that continued step-out drilling is designed to test strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend. Heavy metal and contaminant assays will be released following processing and review.
The significance of this announcement lies in the growing confirmation of the project's scale. Nevada Organic Phosphate is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed that is 6.6 kilometres long, situated in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. The project's location near the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to the rail head to California, provides logistical advantages for future development.
The extension of phosphate mineralization to over 3 kilometres is a key milestone for the company. It underscores the potential for a substantial resource that could contribute to the supply of organic phosphate, which is used in agricultural fertilizers. The step-out drilling program aims to further delineate the deposit, which is critical for assessing the economic viability of the project. As the company continues to release assay results, investors and industry observers will gain a clearer picture of the project's potential.
