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

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY | OTCQB:LKYRF)  is pleased to announce it has formally initiated its U.S. Critical Minerals and Energy Resilience Strategy in partnership with Rice University.  The initiative supports the Trump administration’s executive orders to secure domestic supply chains for critical minerals. 

📌 Highlights Include:

• Locksley has formally initiated its U.S. focused downstream innovation strategy to maximise the potential of its high-grade antimony at the Mojave Project.

• Strategic collaboration with world renowned, Rice University, a global leader in materials science, nanotechnology and energy innovation.

• Dual initiative agreement focusing on antimony processing and utilisation to accelerate “mine-to-market” deployment of this transformative, American made technology, ensuring a U.S. sovereign and independent supply chain.

• Locksley is positioning to establish the first domestic antimony processing capacity in the United States, addressing a critical gap where currently 90-95% of refined supply comes from countries outside the U.S. alliance network.

• The integration of upstream development with downstream innovation provides a rare opportunity to build a domestic mine-to-materials supply chain aligned with U.S. strategic needs, while positioning the Company to access a wide range of Government funding opportunities.
  

💬 Chairman Nathan Lude commented: 

“This strategic collaboration with Rice University, which has been formalised in a legally binding Sponsored Research and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) marks a pivotal step in executing Locksley’s U.S. strategy (mine to market). As a first mover advantage strategy, we are not just rapidly advancing our upstream strategy, we are helping rebuild downstream capacity through materials innovation which America urgently requires. Fast-tracking these two research Thrusts allows us to unlock value from our Mojave asset and play a direct role in sovereign independence of the US defense, energy and AI infrastructure sectors.”
