Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) has announced assay results from drill hole MM26-10 at its Murdock Mountain project, which have extended the confirmed strike of phosphate mineralization to over 3 kilometres. The hole, a 1.5-kilometre step-out along strike, successfully intersected the Upper Phosphate Zone, returning 10.89% P2O5 over 3.60 metres true thickness.
This development is significant for the company as it continues to test the strike continuity and refine true-thickness and grade controls across the broader Murdock Mountain trend. The company noted that continued step-out drilling is designed to further delineate the extent of the mineralization, with heavy metal and contaminant assays to be released following processing and review.
Nevada Organic Phosphate is a junior exploration company focused on an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed located in northeast Nevada. The project, which is 6.6 kilometres long, has additional applications that could 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.
The Murdock Mountain project is strategically situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California, which could provide logistical advantages for future development. The company's exploration efforts are aimed at establishing the resource potential of this unique phosphate deposit.
Phosphate is a critical nutrient for agriculture, used in fertilizers and animal feed supplements. The extension of mineralization at Murdock Mountain underscores the potential for a significant domestic source of phosphate in North America, which could reduce reliance on imports and support agricultural supply chains.
