Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF), a British Columbia-based exploration company focused on organic sedimentary phosphate, has retained P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to provide independent technical support for its wholly owned Murdock Mountain Property in Elko County, Nevada. The engagement is a strategic move to bolster the company's technical capabilities as it advances the project toward further development.
P&E Mining Consultants brings extensive experience in geological interpretation, 3D modeling, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates, Preliminary Economic Assessments, Feasibility Studies, and mine planning. Notably, P&E has direct phosphate-sector experience, having worked on projects for First Phosphate Corp., Nuinsco Resources Limited, Fosfatos del Pacífico S.A., and Fosfatos de Taltal SpA. This specialized expertise is expected to support Nevada Organic Phosphate in the ongoing technical evaluation and staged de-risking of the sedimentary phosphate horizon at Murdock Mountain.
Robin Dow, CEO of Nevada Organic Phosphate, stated that the retention of P&E strengthens the company's technical foundation as it prepares for subsequent phases of technical work and reporting. The collaboration aims to enhance the geological understanding of the project and move it closer to a potential resource estimate and economic assessment.
The Murdock Mountain Property is notable for its organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, which spans 6.6 kilometres in length. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres. The company believes this to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. The property is strategically located near the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to a rail head that connects to California, offering logistical advantages for future development.
This engagement underscores the growing interest in domestic sources of phosphate, a critical component in fertilizers and various industrial applications. By leveraging P&E's expertise, Nevada Organic Phosphate aims to de-risk the project and potentially contribute to the supply chain for agricultural and other sectors. The advancement of the Murdock Mountain project could have implications for regional economic development and the broader phosphate market, particularly in North America.
