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, according to the company.
The extension is significant because it suggests the phosphate-bearing horizon is laterally continuous over a substantial distance, which could enhance the project's potential scale. Nevada Organic Phosphate is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed 6.6 kilometres long in northeast Nevada, and additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres. The company believes this is the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America.
CEO Robin Dow said the results represent continued progress in validating the company's geological model. Director Garry Smith noted improved drilling productivity and completion of MM26-12 without significant complications. Assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone. The confirmation of grade and thickness will be critical for assessing the economic viability of the zone.
The project's location near the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to the rail head to California, provides logistical advantages for any future development. As the demand for organic phosphate sources grows, a large-scale domestic supply could be strategically important for North American agriculture.
