The Board views the appointment as a natural progression given Ms. Matthews\u2019 successful execution of the Company\u2019s U.S. mine-to-metal strategy, including the demonstration of the first U.S. antimony metal ingot in decades and the immediate transition toward pilot-scale production in the United States. <\/p>\n<p> HIGHLIGHTS <\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Kerrie Matthews appointed as Managing Director &amp; CEO, reflecting the Board\u2019s confidence in her leadership through Locksley\u2019s recent U.S. mine-to-metal milestones <\/p>\n<p> \u2013 Under Ms. Matthews\u2019 leadership, Locksley recently produced the first wholly American-made antimony ingot in decades, successfully validating a fully domestic U.S. supply chain <\/p>\n<p> \u2013 The promotion aligns the Company\u2019s leadership structure with its near-term commercial priorities: pilot-scale development, securing non-dilutive government funding and advancing critical offtake agreements <\/p>\n<p> \u2013 The Board considers this an appropriate progression in recognition of her proven execution capability and contribution to the Company\u2019s strategic growth <\/p>\n<p> \u2013 GreenMet continues advising the Company on U.S. permitting, federal funding pathways and defense-sector engagement <\/p>\n<p> Mr. Steve Woodham has resigned as a Director of the Company, to pursue other business interests. The Board acknowledges Mr. Woodham\u2019s pivotal role in the Company\u2019s early strategic progress and expresses sincere appreciation for his commitment during this critical phase of development. <\/p>\n<p> Patrick Burke, Chairman, commented: <\/p>\n<p> \u2018Since joining the Company as Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Matthews has delivered tangible milestones that de-risk our U.S. strategy and set Locksley up for commercial engagement. <\/p>\n<p> Elevating her to Managing Director aligns our leadership structure with the clear near-term priorities of pilot-scale development, securing government programs, and achieving offtake readiness. <\/p>\n<p> The Board thanks Steve Woodham for his commitment and valuable contribution to Locksley Resources. His insights and experience have played an important role in the Company\u2019s progress, and we wish him every success in his future endeavours.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p> Kerrie Matthews, Managing Director &amp; CEO, commented: <\/p>\n<p> \u2018I\u2019m honoured to step into the role of Managing Director at such an exciting time for Locksley. The U.S antimony market is undergoing a fundamental reset, with government funding, defense stockpiling and private sector demand all converging to rebuild a secure, domestic supply chain. Our progress at the Mojave Project, together with trusted U.S partners like Hazen Research, GreenMet and Rice University, puts Locksley at the centre of that transformation. <\/p>\n<p> Delivering the first 100% American-made ingot in decades proved what\u2019s possible when focus and capability are aligned. I am excited by the momentum we\u2019re building toward pilot-scale production and the opportunity to establish Locksley as a cornerstone supply of critical minerals for the U.S.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p> About Locksley Resources Limited:  <\/p>\n<p>Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region. <\/p>\n<p> Mojave Project <\/p>\n<p> Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block\/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials\u2019 claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area. <\/p>\n<p> In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic \u2018Desert Antimony Mine\u2019, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S. <\/p>\n<p> Locksley\u2019s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE &amp; antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security. <\/p>\n<p> Tottenham Project <\/p>\n<p> Locksley\u2019s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation <\/p>\n<p> Source: <br \/>Locksley Resources Limited <\/p>\n<p> Contact: <br \/> Kerrie Matthews <br \/> Chief Executive Officer <br \/>Locksley Resources Limited <br \/> T: +61 8 9481 0389 <br \/> Kerrie@locksleyresources.com.au <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>News Provided by ABN Newswire via QuoteMedia<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>This post appeared first on investingnews.com<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) \u2013 Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) announced the appointment of Ms. Kerrie Matthews as Managing Director and CEO, effective 29 October 2025.
