Locksley Resources (ASX:LKY): Diamond Drill Rig Secured for REE Drilling at El Campo

🔍 Positioned at the heart of America’s critical minerals strategy


Locksley Resources Limited is pleased to announce that it has executed a drilling services contract for the upcoming diamond core drilling campaign at the El Campo Prospect, part of the Mojave Rare Earth Element (REE) Project, located in San Bernardino County, California.

 

📌 Why It Matters:

Under the agreement, the drilling contractor will mobilise a Titan HD track-mounted diamond drill rig to El Campo, which is anticipated to arrive in December 2025.

  • The drilling contractor will supply a Titan HD track-mounted diamond core rig for the El Campo REE drilling program at the Mojave Project, California

  • Program fully approved by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Mojave Drill Project Notice of Intent (NOI)
