Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) reported additional positive assay results from drill hole MM26-9 at its wholly owned Murdock Mountain project in Elko County, Nevada, reinforcing the company's geological model and demonstrating the continuity of phosphate mineralization across the target area.
The company intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone with a weighted average grade of 10.73% P2O5 over a true thickness of 4.48 meters. Additionally, drill hole MM26-9 returned 8.18% P2O5 over 1.0 meter in the Lower Phosphate Zone. These results come as drill hole MM26-10 is nearing completion approximately 1.5 kilometers southwest in a previously untested area.
Nevada Organic Phosphate views these latest results as supportive of its geological model, especially after weaker results from MM26-8, which the company considers a localized anomaly. All analytical work was completed by ALS Laboratories under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, with company and laboratory quality assurance and quality control programs confirming the reliability of the reported assay results.
The Murdock Mountain project hosts an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed extending 6.6 kilometers, with additional applications extending the potential strike to over 30 kilometers. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California.
