Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) is advancing its Murdock Mountain phosphate project in northeast Nevada after an initial six-hole drilling program confirmed consistent phosphate mineralization averaging 10.93% P2O5, including a higher-grade interval of approximately 17.5% P2O5 over 4 meters. The company is pursuing a differentiated strategy focused on direct-application organic phosphate fertilizer that can be mined, ground, and applied to fields without chemical processing, potentially reducing capital costs and avoiding many environmental issues associated with conventional phosphate production.
Management believes the phosphate-bearing strike system could extend more than 26 kilometers across additional federal lease application areas and has outlined a large exploration target while continuing to advance permitting with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. With phosphate recently added to the U.S. critical minerals list, the company plans an expanded 2026 drilling campaign as it works to position itself as a domestic supplier for organic and regenerative agriculture markets.

NOP 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 company’s newsroom provides further updates at https://ibn.fm/NOP.
The company’s strategy to produce organic phosphate fertilizer without chemical processing could offer significant environmental advantages over traditional methods, which often involve sulfuric acid and generate waste byproducts. By targeting direct-application rock phosphate, Nevada Organic Phosphate aims to supply the growing organic and regenerative agriculture sectors, which seek natural soil amendments. Additionally, the inclusion of phosphate on the U.S. critical minerals list underscores its strategic importance for domestic food security and agricultural independence.
As the company moves forward with expanded drilling and permitting, the results will be closely watched by investors and the agricultural industry alike. The Murdock Mountain project’s location near existing infrastructure, including a highway and rail head, provides logistical advantages for future development. With a large exploration target already identified, Nevada Organic Phosphate is positioning itself as a potential key player in the domestic phosphate market.
