Nevada Organic Phosphate Reports Strong Assay Results from 2025 Drill Program

Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF) announced that final P₂O₅ assay results from its 2025 drill program at the Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada, continue to reinforce the strength and consistency of phosphate mineralization within the Upper Phosphatic Zone. Results from six drill holes returned grades ranging from 10.23% to 11.89% P₂O₅ over thicknesses of approximately 3.7 to 5.1 meters, supporting the company’s geological model. Drilling at the westernmost hole also intersected a higher-grade Lower Zone interval grading 17.47% P₂O₅ over 4.11 meters, which remains open to the west and will be evaluated further as exploration progresses.

The importance of these results lies in the project's unique geological profile and strategic location. The Murdock Mountain Property is described as the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, with a known phosphate bed 6.6 kilometres long and potential strike extensions over 30 kilometres. This distinction matters because sedimentary phosphate deposits, particularly organic ones, can offer different mining and processing characteristics compared to igneous phosphate sources, potentially affecting environmental impact and end-use applications.

For the agricultural industry, which relies heavily on phosphate for fertilizer production, a new North American source could have significant supply chain implications. Global phosphate rock production is dominated by a handful of countries, with China, Morocco, and the United States being major producers. A substantial domestic deposit could contribute to supply security and potentially influence market dynamics. The project's location near transportation infrastructure—close to a main highway and near a rail head to California—adds to its strategic value by facilitating potential future logistics.

The assay results specifically from the 2025 drill program provide technical validation of the resource's quality and consistency. Grades between 10.23% and 11.89% P₂O₅ in the Upper Zone, along with the higher-grade intercept of 17.47% P₂O₅ in the Lower Zone, indicate mineralization that warrants further evaluation. For investors and industry observers, these results contribute to the technical understanding of the deposit's geometry and potential economics.

From a broader perspective, the development of phosphate resources intersects with global food security and industrial needs. Phosphate is a critical component in fertilizers essential for crop production, and it also has applications in animal feed supplements, industrial chemicals, and other products. As population growth and agricultural demands increase, securing reliable phosphate supplies becomes increasingly important. Projects like Nevada Organic Phosphate's Murdock Mountain Property represent potential contributions to meeting that demand, particularly if they can be developed with considerations for environmental stewardship and economic viability.
