Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE: NOP; OTCQB: NOPFF; FSE: Z58) has announced that drill hole MM26-11 intersected 28.7 meters of the target Meade Peak Member, with visual indications of the Upper Phosphate Zone. The hole is located approximately 315 meters southwest of MM26-10, which previously intersected 27 meters of Meade Peak, including 3.60 meters grading 10.89% P2O5. These results extend the confirmed strike length of phosphate mineralization to more than 3.3 kilometers, supporting the company's geological model.
The extension of the strike length is significant because it suggests that the phosphate mineralization is continuous over a substantial distance, which could translate into a larger resource base for the company. The company's Murdock Mountain project is already noted for its organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6 kilometers long, in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometers. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California. The latest drilling results provide further evidence that the mineralization extends beyond the previously confirmed 3.3-kilometer strike length, which could enhance the project's economic potential.
Assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone. These results will be critical in determining the grade and continuity of the mineralization, which are essential factors for resource estimation and future development.

The announcement comes as Nevada Organic Phosphate continues to advance its exploration efforts. The company's focus on organic sedimentary phosphate positions it in a niche market, as phosphate is a key ingredient in fertilizers and other industrial applications. The potential for a large-scale organic phosphate project in North America could reduce reliance on imports and provide a domestic source of this critical mineral.
