Nevada Organic Phosphate Advances Murdock Mountain Project with Positive Drilling Results and Plans for Expanded 2026 Campaign

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) is advancing its Murdock Mountain phosphate project in northeast Nevada after an initial six-hole drilling program confirmed consistent phosphate mineralization averaging 10.93% P2O5, including a higher-grade interval of approximately 17.5% P2O5 over 4 meters. The company is pursuing a differentiated strategy focused on direct-application organic phosphate fertilizer that can be mined, ground, and applied to fields without chemical processing, potentially reducing capital costs and avoiding many environmental issues associated with conventional phosphate production.

Management believes the phosphate-bearing strike system could extend more than 26 kilometers across additional federal lease application areas and has outlined a large exploration target while continuing to advance permitting with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. With phosphate recently added to the U.S. critical minerals list, the company plans an expanded 2026 drilling campaign as it works to position itself as a domestic supplier for organic and regenerative agriculture markets.

The company’s progress was highlighted in a recent article available at this link. Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6 kilometers long, in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometers. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. It is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California.

The company’s strategy capitalizes on the growing demand for organic and regenerative agriculture, which seeks fertilizers that are less chemically processed and more environmentally friendly. Direct-application organic phosphate fertilizer aligns with these trends, offering a lower-cost and lower-impact alternative to conventional phosphate fertilizers that require extensive chemical treatment. The addition of phosphate to the U.S. critical minerals list underscores its strategic importance for domestic agriculture and food security, potentially providing support for permitting and development.

Nevada Organic Phosphate’s Murdock Mountain project sits on a known phosphate belt, and the company has been working to secure additional federal leases to expand its footprint. The initial drilling results provide confidence in the resource potential, and the planned 2026 drilling campaign aims to further define the deposit and support a resource estimate. Permitting with the Bureau of Land Management is a critical next step to advance toward production.
