Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc., trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol NOP, has announced the signing of an agreement that results in full ownership of its Murdock Mountain Project and the elimination of certain net smelter return royalty liabilities. The British Columbia-based company, focused on organic sedimentary phosphate exploration, purchased and cancelled a 2% net smelter return royalty held by the Montecinos Family Trust. The transaction was completed in exchange for US$50,000 and the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares, subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
This move provides the company with greater strategic flexibility, including the potential formation of joint ventures with arm’s-length parties. By eliminating the royalty obligation, Nevada Organic Phosphate removes a future cost structure that would have applied to any production from the project, thereby increasing the economic attractiveness of the asset to potential partners or investors.

The Murdock Mountain Project is a significant asset, described as the only known large-scale organic sedimentary phosphate project in North America. The company holds an organic sedimentary raw rock phosphate bed measuring 6.6 kilometres in length in northeast Nevada. Additional applications suggest the potential strike of rock phosphate could extend over 30 kilometres. The project's location is strategically advantageous, situated close to the main highway to Montello and Elko, Nevada, and near a rail head providing access to California markets.
For business and technology leaders, particularly those in the agricultural technology, mining, and sustainable resources sectors, this development highlights the strategic consolidation of a critical mineral asset. Phosphate is an essential component in agricultural fertilizers, and securing domestic sources of organic phosphate could have implications for supply chain resilience and sustainable agriculture practices in North America.
