Nevada Organic Phosphate (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 Meade Peak interval.
Management noted that the current exploration focus remains the Upper Phosphatic Zone, a 3.4 to 7.6 metre interval located within the broader Meade Peak Member. That geological framework was originally identified through earlier trench observations and historical academic work.
Laboratory assays will be required to confirm phosphate grades, thickness variations and the true dimensions of the mineralized intervals encountered during the current drilling program.
Nevada Organic Phosphate also confirmed that drill hole MM26-8 has now been completed approximately 100 metres north of last year’s MM25-3 hole. Additional geological observations and collar data are expected once logging work is finalized.
The latest drilling update arrives as phosphate markets continue attracting renewed strategic attention. Phosphorus remains an essential agricultural nutrient, with approximately 90% of global phosphorus consumption tied to fertilizer production. While Morocco controls the world’s largest phosphate reserves and China remains the dominant phosphate fertilizer producer and exporter, Western agricultural markets continue seeking greater supply diversification amid geopolitical and logistical uncertainty.
Those concerns have intensified following recent disruptions to global fertilizer trade routes linked to instability around the Strait of Hormuz, a corridor through which a substantial portion of the world’s fertilizer shipments normally pass.
Nevada Organic Phosphate is attempting to position the Murdock Mountain Property within that broader shift toward domestic and regionally secure fertilizer supply. Unlike conventional phosphate operations that typically involve extensive downstream chemical processing, the company is focused on organic sedimentary phosphate suitable for direct application agriculture. Management says the project is designed around raw rock phosphate intended for grinding, bagging and direct agricultural use rather than large-scale chemical conversion.
That distinction places the company within the expanding organic and regenerative agriculture sector. The company does not have to compete with the conventional chemical agricultural input industry.
American farming practices have increasingly shifted toward reactive phosphate products and soil-focused nutrient management systems intended to work alongside natural soil biology. Nevada Organic Phosphate argues its material may align with those trends because it can be applied directly to agricultural land without conventional chemical processing.
The company estimates the Murdock Project currently hosts an Exploration Target Mineral Inventory, or ETMI, ranging between 10 million and 46 million tonnes grading between 3% and 15% P2O5. The estimate is based on an average thickness of 3.5 metres and a specific gravity of 2.61.
In addition to the main Murdock Mountain target zone, the company has identified three additional target areas that could extend the overall phosphate-bearing strike length to more than 30 kilometres.
Importantly, Nevada Organic Phosphate emphasises that further drilling, geological interpretation and assay work will be required before the scale and continuity of mineralization can be fully assessed.
Infrastructure access may also represent an important operational advantage. The Murdock Mountain Property is situated near major transportation corridors, including highway access connecting to Montello and Elko, Nevada, as well as nearby rail infrastructure capable of serving national agricultural markets.
Nevada Organic Phosphate added that surveying work from the prior drilling campaign has now been completed by a licensed surveyor, with updated mapping expected in a future release. Additional 2026 drill collar surveys will also be completed as the exploration program advances. The company added that future technical disclosures, including assay results and detailed geological interpretations, will be reviewed by qualified independent geological professionals under applicable Canadian disclosure standards.
