Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc., a British Columbia-based phosphate exploration company, has announced the start of its 2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain Phosphate Project in northeastern Nevada. The commencement follows the completion of required wildlife and sage-grouse pre-clearance surveys. The company is now advancing drill pad construction and preparing to resume drilling operations.
The primary objective of the renewed drilling campaign is to evaluate the strike extent, thickness, continuity, and grade of the phosphate zone. This work builds upon the consistent mineralization identified during the company’s 2025 exploration activities. The data collected is intended to refine the geological model of the deposit and support future resource classification, all while maintaining established project timelines.
The Murdock Mountain Project is centered on an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed that measures 6.6 kilometres in length. According to the company, additional applications could extend the potential strike of the rock phosphate mineralization to over 30 kilometres. Nevada Organic Phosphate states this is believed to be the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. The project’s location is considered strategically advantageous, situated close to the main highway to Montello and Elko, Nevada, and near a rail head with connections to California.
