Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) (FSE: Z58), a British Columbia-based organic sedimentary phosphate exploration company, reported that drill hole MM26-13 intersected 33.7 meters (110.6 feet) of the target Meade Peak Member, according to a press release disseminated on behalf of Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. The company said oolitic zones characteristic of the Upper Phosphate Zone were observed during core logging, though assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the intersection.
The announcement matters because it points to the potential scale and continuity of NOP's organic phosphate project at a time when demand for organic inputs is rising. MM26-13 is located approximately 122 meters southeast of MM26-11, while drilling at MM26-14 has intersected the top of the Meade Peak Member. The company reported that MM26-14, located 1,036 meters southwest of MM26-12, extends the confirmed strike of the target Meade Peak horizon to more than 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles). That expansion is significant for a junior explorer seeking to demonstrate that its resource is laterally continuous and large enough to support future technical studies.
CEO Robin Dow said the results are consistent with geological expectations and represent progress in reducing geological uncertainty ahead of future technical studies. Director Garry Smith, P.Geo., noted that observations from the westernmost drill holes support the company’s interpretation of a laterally continuous phosphate horizon. Nevada Organic Phosphate plans to complete several additional drill holes, weather permitting, to further support future technical studies.
For readers and investors, the news offers a tangible update on a project that NOP describes as 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 believes this is the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, and it is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California.

The implications extend beyond a single drill hole. Confirming a strike of more than 4.5 kilometers could strengthen the project’s case for future technical studies and attract attention from investors focused on organic phosphate supply. However, the pending assay results mean the true thickness and phosphate content remain unconfirmed, and the planned additional drilling is subject to weather conditions. Readers should weigh the exploration progress against those outstanding data points.
