Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) has released new assay interpretations from its Murdock Mountain property in Nevada, revealing a multi-nutrient phosphate profile that the company says is suited for organic and regenerative agriculture. The results, detailed in a February 10 update, indicate that the material could serve as a direct-ship organic phosphate input rather than a conventional chemical fertilizer feedstock.
Early drilling at the Upper Phosphatic Zone (UPZ) returned a weighted average grade of 10.93% P₂O₅, accompanied by significant levels of calcium, magnesium, silicon, and trace micronutrients. Notably, heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic, and lead were reported well below common organic certification thresholds. Management says the chemistry supports slow-release phosphorus and soil conditioning benefits, positioning the project to address growing demand for low-contaminant fertilizer sources in the United States.
“These assay results confirm that Murdock Mountain has the potential to produce a naturally balanced mineral fertilizer that aligns with organic and regenerative farming practices,” the company stated in the press release. The full assay report is available at https://ibn.fm/oTvGI.
The company, based in British Columbia, is advancing the project amid a broader industry shift toward sustainable agriculture. The low heavy metal content could allow the phosphate to be used without extensive chemical processing, potentially reducing environmental impact compared to traditional phosphate fertilizers.
Nevada Organic Phosphate aims to position Murdock Mountain as a domestic source of organic phosphate inputs, which could help reduce reliance on imported fertilizers. The company’s focus on organic certification and regenerative farming aligns with market trends favoring sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural inputs.
Investors and industry observers are watching the project closely, as the combination of multi-nutrient content and low contaminants could differentiate the material in a market dominated by conventional phosphate rock. Further drilling and analysis are expected as the company continues to evaluate the deposit’s potential.
