Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) 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 phosphatic interval, pending assay confirmation. 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. The company is advancing a broader exploration program focused on the Upper Phosphatic Zone within the Meade Peak Member. Nevada Organic Phosphate is targeting the expanding North American market for direct application organic phosphate fertilizer. 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. The latest results underscore the potential for the property to contribute to a secure domestic supply of organic phosphate, which is essential for sustainable agriculture. The company’s focus on organic sedimentary phosphate exploration positions it to meet growing demand for environmentally friendly fertilizers.
These early results from the 2026 program are significant as they confirm the continuity of the phosphate zone and provide confidence for further drilling. The company plans to continue its exploration efforts to delineate resources and advance the project toward development. The news comes at a time when North American agriculture is seeking reliable sources of phosphate fertilizer to reduce dependence on imports.
