Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) announced that Falcon Drilling is mobilizing to its Murdock Mountain property to complete the planned 2026 drilling program. The company reported that drill hole MM26-10 successfully intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, extending the confirmed strike length of phosphate mineralization to more than 3 kilometres, with additional drilling planned along the strike trend.
The company also said further interpretation of assay data confirmed that MM26-8 intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, returning 4.60% P2O5 over 5 metres true thickness. Continued step-out drilling is designed to test strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend.

This news matters because it demonstrates tangible progress in expanding a potentially significant domestic source of phosphate. 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.
The extension of the confirmed strike length to over 3 kilometres, coupled with the high-grade intercept of 4.60% P2O5 over 5 metres true thickness, suggests the deposit may be larger and more consistent than previously understood. For investors and the broader agricultural sector, this could signal a future source of organic phosphate, a critical input for organic farming. North America currently relies heavily on imported phosphate, so a large-scale domestic organic project could have strategic implications for food production and supply chain resilience.
The mobilization of Falcon Drilling for the 2026 program indicates the company is moving forward with its exploration plans. The step-out drilling will test whether the mineralization continues along the strike trend, which is essential for estimating the size and economics of the deposit. If successful, the program could lead to a resource estimate and eventually feasibility studies.
