Nevada Organic Phosphate Extends Murdock Mountain Strike to 3 Kilometers

Nevada Organic Phosphate has successfully intersected the Meade Peak horizon at its Murdock Mountain project, completing a 1.5-kilometer step-out drill hole. This latest find, designated MM26-10, confirms the geological model’s prediction of continuity and pushes the company’s total identified strike length to over 3 kilometers.

Preliminary logging of the core from MM26-10 shows visual evidence of oolitic textures within the Upper Phosphate Zone, a hallmark of the target stratigraphy. While the company awaits formal laboratory assay results to validate the thickness and grade of the deposit, the intersection serves as a primary indicator that the sedimentary system remains consistent across the expanded range.

Despite this progress, the exploration program has encountered operational headwinds. Garry Smith, Director and P.Geo., noted that mechanical failures, crew availability issues, and cross-border shipping delays have hampered the timeline. Furthermore, the company has had to balance its water usage with local ranching needs during an intense mid-summer heatwave. To address these logistical hurdles, Nevada Organic Phosphate is transitioning to a new drilling contractor. Management expects that shifting to local crews and equipment will stabilize production rates as seasonal temperatures moderate.
