Locksley Resources Expands Antimony Target at Mojave with Significant Mapping Progress
Major Advancement at Mojave
Locksley Resources, Ltd. has announced a significant development in its exploration zone with the recent structural mapping of its Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) Prospect in California. This initiative has notably increased the dimensions of their target mineralized corridor, achieving a remarkable 400% increase in target strike length. With the identification of a new parallel structural target, the potential for a larger mineralized system has dramatically improved, suggesting expansive opportunities across multiple zones.
Kerrie Matthews, CEO of Locksley Resources, expressed optimism about this sizeable enhancement. "This second structural mapping initiative has significantly bolstered our understanding of the geological landscape at the Mojave Project and underscored the substantial exploration potential of this critical mineral district," she noted. The sixfold expansion of the Desert Antimony Mine target highlights possibilities for a much larger mineralized system than previously anticipated. These developments strongly validate the company's rapid exploration and development strategy.
Expanded Opportunities and Future Plans
In conjunction with expanding the antimony target, the recent mapping has also unwrapped several additional compelling opportunities. Notably, regional mapping has uncovered lamprophyre dykes, indicating the potential for further critical mineral occurrences, including carbonatites. This suggests that Mojave could evolve into a district-scale critical minerals hub, effectively aligning with the U.S.'s accelerating onshoring policies. Furthermore, notable high-grade silver assays of up to 216 g/t Ag were reported from the Hendricks Prospect, along with promising signs for anomalous zinc, lead, and copper, which hints at a broader polymetallic system in the area.
Plans are already in motion for a third phase of structural mapping to kick off next month. This next step will not only continue the geological understanding of the site but also identify new exploration targets, progressing Locksley Resources' ambitious plans at the Mojave Project.
Strategic Positioning in North America's Mining Landscape
Locksley Resources is becoming a pivotal player in the North American mining industry focused on critical minerals and base metals. Their U.S. asset, the Mojave Project, targets rare earth elements (REE) and antimony, positioning them strategically in sectors of growing importance to the U.S. economy and supply chain resilience.
The company's collaboration with Rice University to develop their proprietary DeepSolv™ technology for domestic processing of North American antimony is a cornerstone of their strategy. This 'mine-to-market' approach underlines their commitment to accelerate antimony deployment in the United States, further enhancing the country's mineral security.
As Locksley Resources continues to unlock the geological mysteries of the Mojave Project through innovative mapping strategies, they reshape the narrative of U.S. critical mineral supply, unlocking economic potential and securing resources that are vital for a sustainable future.
For fans of the sector and interested investors, these updates signal a forward-looking approach in critical minerals exploration and management, making now an exciting time to watch Locksley Resources as they pave the way for a more secure mineral landscape in the U.S.
