Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. announced that heavy metal assays from its Murdock Mountain project remain well below organic fertilizer certification limits, confirming consistent phosphate grades and low contaminants.

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) reported that heavy metal assays from the Upper Phosphatic Zone in drill hole MM26-9 at its Murdock Mountain project remain well below the maximum limits generally used for organic fertilizer certification. The company said the weighted average concentrations for arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead and other regulated metals were significantly below the thresholds established under AAPFCO's SUIP #25 guidelines and California standards, while the drill hole returned an intersection grading 10.73% P₂O₅ over 4.50 meters of drilled thickness.
The company said the results reinforce the consistency of phosphate grades, thicknesses and low contaminant levels across the Upper Phosphatic Zone as it advances exploration at Murdock Mountain. Nevada Organic Phosphate added that the assay work was completed by ALS Laboratories under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and that company quality assurance and quality control procedures, including the use of blanks and certified reference materials, support the reliability of the reported analytical results.
This announcement is significant because it strengthens the case for Murdock Mountain as a potential source of organic-certified phosphate, which is increasingly important in sustainable agriculture. The low heavy metal content could give the company a competitive advantage in the organic fertilizer market, as strict regulatory standards such as the California organic fertilizer regulations require minimal contaminants. The consistent results across multiple drill holes suggest a reliable resource base, which is crucial for future development plans.
Nevada Organic Phosphate 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. 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.
