Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) provided an update on its Murdock Mountain phosphate project in northeast Nevada, detailing results from its initial drilling campaign and outlining plans for an expanded 2026 program. The company is advancing what it describes as an uncommon sedimentary phosphate deposit that could supply direct-application organic fertilizer to U.S. agricultural markets, bypassing the conventional chemical processing required by traditional phosphate producers.
The company’s first six-hole drilling campaign at the Murdock Mountain target zone confirmed consistent phosphate mineralization, with assays returning grades averaging 10.93% P2O5. Management believes the broader strike system could extend more than kilometers across multiple lease application areas controlled through federal permitting processes. The phosphate is intended for direct field application without chemical processing, which could reduce capital requirements compared to conventional phosphate operations.
Nevada Organic Phosphate’s business model targets a niche segment of the fertilizer market that has gained attention from agricultural producers and policymakers: domestically sourced phosphate suitable for organic and regenerative farming. The company notes that its unprocessed direct-application phosphate does not have to compete with the conventional chemical agricultural input industry and has no large-scale competition in North America.
The strategic importance of domestic phosphate supplies was underscored when phosphate was added to the U.S. critical minerals list, increasing focus on securing domestic fertilizer supply chains. This designation could support efforts to reduce reliance on imports and strengthen the domestic agricultural input base.
Nevada Organic Phosphate plans an expanded 2026 drilling campaign while pursuing additional permits with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The company is focused on the Murdock Mountain phosphate target zone in Elko County, Nevada, where it hopes to develop a large-scale source of sedimentary phosphate. The project’s location in Nevada offers logistical advantages for serving western U.S. agricultural markets.
