I\u2019m honored to support the team\u2019s strategy and growth trajectory.\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 Ltd (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) announced the appointment of Ms. Stacy Newstead to its Advisory Board as Strategic Advisor \u2013 Materials Strategy.
