Nevada Organic Phosphate

Nevada Organic kicks off Murdock Mountain drilling

Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE:NOP) has begun its 2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain Project in Nevada, US, following completing wildlife surveys.

A bulldozer contractor returned to site yesterday (13 April) to complete construction of the remaining drill pads.

Once pad preparation is underway, the drill contractor will continue evaluating the strike extent, thickness, lateral continuity, and grade characteristics of the phosphate zone exposed across the project area.

The upcoming drill holes are designed to extend the geological model along strike, refine structural controls, and support future classification work.

CEO Robin Dow says Nevada continues to experience a “strong” exploration cycle, and the company is pleased to remain within its planned timelines.

“Maintaining schedule discipline is essential as we advance the Murdock Mountain Project toward its next technical milestone,” Dow says.

The Murdock Mountain Project hosts a shallow-dipping, road-accessible sedimentary phosphate horizon that demonstrates consistent mineralisation in the company’s 2025 drill core sampling.

Nevada Organic Phosphate is a junior explorer focused on an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6km long, in northeast Nevada.
