Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) has reported assay results from drill hole MM26-10 at its Murdock Mountain project, which successfully extended the confirmed strike of phosphate mineralization to more than 3 kilometres. The hole, a 1.5-kilometre step-out along strike, intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone with 10.89% P2O5 over 3.60 metres true thickness.
The company, a B.C.-based organic sedimentary phosphate exploration company, believes this is the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. The Murdock Mountain project is located in northeast Nevada, with a known phosphate bed extending 6.6 kilometres, and additional applications could extend the potential strike to over 30 kilometres. The site is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California.
These latest results are part of an ongoing drilling program aimed at testing strike continuity and refining true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend. The company stated that continued step-out drilling will help delineate the extent of the mineralization and provide critical data for resource estimation.
The significance of this extension lies in the growing recognition of organic sedimentary phosphate as a valuable resource for agricultural and industrial applications. With global demand for phosphate fertilizers rising, the confirmation of a large, continuous deposit could position Nevada Organic Phosphate as a key player in the North American market.
The company plans to release heavy metal and contaminant assays following processing and review. These results will be crucial for assessing the environmental and economic viability of the project.
