Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF), a B.C.-based leader in organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, recently 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, indicating continuity of the phosphate-bearing zone. The latest results are pending assay confirmation, but the visual observations suggest a robust mineralized horizon that could support the company’s broader exploration program focused on the Upper Phosphatic Zone within the Meade Peak Member. This member is known for containing sedimentary phosphate deposits that are suitable for direct application as organic fertilizer, a growing segment in North American agriculture.
The Murdock Mountain Property benefits from access to highway, rail, and trucking infrastructure, positioning it to serve national agricultural markets efficiently. Nevada Organic Phosphate is targeting the expanding North American market for direct application organic phosphate fertilizer, which is gaining traction as farmers seek sustainable alternatives to conventional chemical fertilizers. The company’s efforts come at a time when domestic phosphate supply is becoming critical amid global fertilizer supply-chain uncertainty and geopolitical concentration risk.
The 2026 exploration program is designed to delineate resources that could reduce reliance on imported phosphate, which is currently dominated by a few countries. The U.S. imports a significant portion of its phosphate rock, and disruptions in global supply chains have highlighted vulnerabilities. Nevada Organic Phosphate’s project aims to provide a domestic source of organic phosphate, supporting food security and sustainable farming practices.
Investors and industry observers are watching the program closely, as successful delineation of a phosphate resource at Murdock Mountain could position the company as a key player in the organic fertilizer market. The company’s news and updates are available in its newsroom at https://ibn.fm/NOP.
