Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) has commenced its 2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Project in northeastern Nevada, the company announced. The program follows the completion of required wildlife and sage-grouse pre-clearance surveys, and the company is now advancing drill pad construction and preparing to resume drilling operations.
The exploration program is designed to evaluate the strike extent, thickness, continuity, and grade of the phosphate zone, building on consistent mineralization identified during the 2025 drilling campaign. Nevada Organic Phosphate aims to refine its geological model and support future resource classification while maintaining project timelines. The Murdock Mountain project hosts a sedimentary rock phosphate bed extending 6.6 kilometers, with additional applications suggesting a potential strike length exceeding 30 kilometers. The company believes this to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America.
Phosphate is a critical mineral used primarily in fertilizers, and the project's location near major transportation routes, including a highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and a rail head to California, provides logistical advantages. The ongoing exploration is a key step toward delineating a resource that could supply the domestic agricultural industry.
