Locksley Reports High-Grade Antimony Concentrate at Significantly Higher Grades than Comparable American Projects in Initial Metallurgical Test Work of Surface Samples from the Company's Desert Antimony Mine Project in California

Core Insights - Locksley Resources is advancing its metallurgical test work program at the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) Prospect, achieving concentrate grades significantly higher than comparable American projects [1][4]. Group 1: Metallurgical Test Results - Early results indicate a high-grade final flotation concentrate of 68.1% antimony from initial tests, exceeding the marketable sales requirement of 55% [2][3]. - The achieved concentrate is 95% of the technical maximum stibnite grade of 71.68%, with minimal impurities [2]. Group 2: Future Plans and Collaborations - Minimal flowsheet development is expected to maximize both grade and recovery, with plans to collect a bulk sample from underground workings for further testing and production of antimony ingot [3]. - Locksley Resources has a strategic collaboration with Rice University to develop DeepSolv™ for domestic processing of North American antimony, which is part of its U.S. Critical Minerals and Energy Resilience Strategy [5]. Group 3: Strategic Alignment - The high purity levels of antimony concentrate are aligned with U.S. government priorities for critical minerals, particularly for applications in munitions, semiconductors, and energy systems [4]. - Locksley Resources' strategy is in line with the U.S. government's "Made in America" initiative for critical minerals [4].
