Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF; FSE: Z58) reported that drill hole MM26-12 intersected 37.4 metres of the target Meade Peak Member, with oolitic zones characteristic of the Upper Phosphate Zone observed during core logging. The hole, located approximately 200 metres southwest of MM26-11, extends the confirmed strike length of the target zone to more than 3.5 kilometres, according to the company’s announcement disseminated on behalf of Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc.
The extension matters because it supports the company’s geological model and suggests a larger mineralized system than previously confirmed. CEO Robin Dow said the results represent continued progress in validating that model, while director Garry Smith noted improved drilling productivity and completion of MM26-12 without significant complications. Assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone, leaving investors awaiting definitive data on grade and economic potential.
NOP is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed 6.6 kilometres long in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres, and the company believes this is the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. Its location near the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to the rail head to California could provide logistical advantages for future development.
The latest drill result is significant because it expands the footprint of the target zone along strike, a key factor in assessing the project’s scale. A strike length exceeding 3.5 kilometres, combined with the pending assay results, will be critical in determining whether the Upper Phosphatic Zone can be developed economically.
