Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE:NOP, OTCQB:NOPFF), the British Columbia-based exploration company, has extended the strike length of phosphate mineralization at its Murdock Mountain project to over three kilometers.
Assay results from the MM26-10 drill hole reveal a weighted average of 10.89% P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) over a true thickness of 3.60 meters.
The successful 1.5-kilometer step-out intersection confirms the lateral continuity of the nearly flat-lying Upper Phosphate Zone sedimentary horizon.
This stratigraphy sits within the Meade Peak Member of the Phosphoria Formation in northeast Nevada.
Expanding the confirmed strike length significantly de-risks the geological model and increases confidence in the sedimentary system's scale potential.
The vertical MM26-10 drill hole reached a total depth of 215.04 meters from a surface elevation of 2,181 meters.
Individual one-meter sample intervals within the target zone returned grades reaching as high as 16.20% P2O5.
Heavy metal and contaminant assays are currently undergoing laboratory processing and will be released upon completion of the review.
Exploration efforts aim to advance a clean, low-contaminant organic phosphate resource that aligns with emerging agricultural and critical-mineral trends.
The project represents the only known large-scale organic certifiable sedimentary phosphate deposit in North America.
The core phosphate bed currently measures 6.6 kilometers in length, with additional land applications potentially extending the strike to over 30 kilometers.
The site benefits from close proximity to a main highway and a railhead connecting to California and the East Coast.
ALS Laboratories conducted all sample preparation and analytical work using high-precision X-ray fluorescence on materials fused with lithium borate.
The company implemented a rigorous quality control protocol that involved regularly inserting generically sourced sand blanks to monitor for potential contamination.
Analytical accuracy was further verified against a certified reference material for phosphate slags issued by the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing.
