Nevada Organic Phosphate Hits 33.7m Meade Peak in Drill Hole MM26-13
TLDR
- Nevada Organic Phosphate's drilling extends the Meade Peak strike to 4.5 km, strengthening its position as North America's only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project.
- Drill hole MM26-13 intersected 33.7 meters of the Meade Peak Member, and pending assays will confirm phosphate content and true thickness.
- Nevada Organic Phosphate's progress on a large organic phosphate deposit could support sustainable agriculture by providing an environmentally friendly fertilizer source.
- Nevada Organic Phosphate's drill hole MM26-14 extended the confirmed strike of the Meade Peak horizon to over 4.5 kilometers, more than doubling earlier estimates.
Impact - Why it Matters
The confirmation of a laterally continuous phosphate horizon over 4.5 kilometers is a significant step for Nevada Organic Phosphate, as it reduces geological uncertainty and strengthens the case for future technical studies. Phosphate is a critical input for organic fertilizers, and a large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America could help reduce reliance on imports and support sustainable agriculture. For investors, the pending assay results and the extension of the strike zone offer potential upside, while the company’s unique position as the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America adds strategic value. As global demand for phosphate continues to rise, driven by food security and agricultural needs, NOP’s progress could position it as a key player in the domestic supply chain.
Summary
Nevada Organic Phosphate (CSE: NOP) (OTCQB: NOPFF) (FSE: Z58), a British Columbia-based organic sedimentary phosphate exploration company, has reported promising results from its ongoing drill program at its Nevada project. Drill hole MM26-13 intersected 33.7 meters (110.6 feet) of the target Meade Peak Member, with oolitic zones characteristic of the Upper Phosphate Zone observed during core logging. The company noted that assay results are pending to confirm the true thickness and phosphate content of the intersection. MM26-13 is located approximately 122 meters southeast of MM26-11, while drilling at MM26-14 has intersected the top of the Meade Peak Member.
The company also reported that MM26-14, located 1,036 meters southwest of MM26-12, extends the confirmed strike of the target Meade Peak horizon to more than 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles). CEO Robin Dow said the results are consistent with geological expectations and represent progress in reducing geological uncertainty ahead of future technical studies. Director Garry Smith, P.Geo., noted that observations from the westernmost drill holes support the company’s interpretation of a laterally continuous phosphate horizon. Nevada Organic Phosphate plans to complete several additional drill holes, weather permitting, to further support future technical studies.

NOP is a junior exploration company with an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed, 6.6 kilometres long, in northeast Nevada. Additional applications extend the potential strike of rock phosphate to over 30 kilometres. This is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. It is situated close to the main highway to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and near the rail head to California. The latest news and updates relating to NOP are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/NOP. The announcement was disseminated via MiningNewsWire, a specialized communications platform focused on the global mining and resources sectors and part of the Dynamic Brand Portfolio @ IBN.
