en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nevada Organic Phosphate has commenced drilling the first hole of its 2026 exploration program at the Murdock Mountain project. This initial deep hole, designated MM26-7, is designed to step back 100 meters from last fall's hole MM25-1 to further evaluate the thickness, continuity, and phosphate grade characteristics of the deep upper Meade Peak phosphate horizon. The company stated that minor technical drilling issues have been identified and are being addressed by contractor FTE Drilling, with operations expected to resume shortly without significant delays.

The Murdock Mountain project is located in northeastern Nevada, USA. Nevada Organic Phosphate is a junior exploration company that holds a 6.6-kilometer-long strike length of organic sedimentary protolith phosphate horizon in northeastern Nevada. Furthermore, other applications extend the potential strike length of the phosphate to over 30 kilometers. The project is considered the only known major organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America, located near major highways to Montello/Elko, Nevada, and close to a rail hub to California.

This drilling marks the first step of the company's 2026 exploration program. The previous hole MM25-1 has been completed, and MM26-7 is designed to further evaluate the characteristics of the phosphate horizon at depth. Drilling operations are currently progressing smoothly, with technical issues being addressed and no significant delays to the overall program anticipated.
