Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF; FSE: Z58) announced that drill hole MM26-12 intersected 37.4 metres of the target Meade Peak Member, with oolitic zones characteristic of the Upper Phosphate Zone observed during core logging. The hole, located approximately 200 metres southwest of MM26-11, extends the confirmed strike length of the target zone to more than 3.5 kilometres. The company said assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone.
CEO Robin Dow said the results represent continued progress in validating the company’s geological model, while director Garry Smith noted improved drilling productivity and completion of MM26-12 without significant complications. The announcement is part of the company’s ongoing exploration efforts at its organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed in northeast Nevada, which is 6.6 kilometres long and has additional applications extending the potential strike to over 30 kilometres. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America.
The project’s location near the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to the rail head to California could provide logistical advantages for future development. For readers in the Long Beach area, this news matters because it points to a potential domestic source of phosphate, a critical mineral used in fertilizers and various industrial applications. A reliable, close-to-home supply could support regional agriculture and reduce dependence on imports, though the project is still in the exploration stage and requires further assay results and permitting.
As a junior exploration company, Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. is working to validate its geological model and expand the known extent of mineralization. The pending assay results will be crucial in confirming the true thickness and phosphate content, which are essential for assessing the project’s economic viability.
