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 said 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.
Further interpretation of assay data confirmed that MM26-8 also intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, returning 4.60% P2O5 over 5 metres true thickness. The company said continued step-out drilling is designed to test strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend.

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 significance of these developments lies in their potential to reshape the domestic supply of organic phosphate, a critical input for organic agriculture. As the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, Murdock Mountain could reduce reliance on imported phosphate rock, particularly from regions with less stringent environmental and organic certification standards. The extension of the confirmed strike length to over 3 kilometres, coupled with the high-grade intercept of 4.60% P2O5 over 5 metres, suggests the deposit may be larger and more consistent than previously understood. This could enhance the project's economic viability and attract further investment.
Moreover, the mobilization of Falcon Drilling for the 2026 program underscores the company's commitment to advancing exploration. The step-out drilling is expected to test strike continuity and refine grade controls, which are essential for resource estimation and future feasibility studies. If successful, the program could lead to a significant resource definition, positioning Nevada Organic Phosphate as a key player in the organic fertilizer market.
The strategic location of the project, near major transportation infrastructure, provides a logistical advantage for potential future production and distribution. As demand for organic food products continues to grow, a reliable domestic source of organic phosphate would be strategically important for food security and sustainable agriculture.
