Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF; FSE: Z58) announced that drill holes MM26-14 and MM26-15 intersected 39 metres and 38 metres, respectively, of the targeted Meade Peak Member at its phosphate exploration project. The company, whose latest news and updates are available in its newsroom at https://nnw.fm/NOP, said geological logging identified oolitic zones consistent with the Upper Phosphate Zone in both holes, though laboratory assays are still required to confirm phosphate content and true thickness.
The results matter because they suggest the phosphate-bearing horizon is continuous over a larger area than previously known. MM26-14, the westernmost hole drilled to date, extended the confirmed geological trend to more than 4.5 kilometres. MM26-15 was drilled approximately midway between MM26-14 and MM26-12, further supporting the continuity of the targeted formation. The company is advancing its drilling program with MM26-16, designed to fill a gap in existing geological data.
CEO Robin Dow said the latest intersections support the continuity and scale of the phosphate-bearing horizon. Director Garry Smith emphasized that laboratory analysis remains necessary to determine phosphate grades and chemical characteristics. The results will contribute to the company’s evolving geological model as additional drilling and assays progress. For readers following the junior exploration sector, the announcement offers a tangible data point on the size of the project, even as it stops short of confirming economic grades.
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. The company states 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. That proximity to transport infrastructure could matter for future development economics, although no production decision has been announced.
The broader significance lies in the potential for a domestic source of organic phosphate at a time when supply chains for agricultural inputs remain a focus for industry and investors.
