INVESTOR UPDATE

MOJAVE ANTIMONY & RARE EARTHS PROJECT KEY APPOINTMENT TO LEAD CRITICAL MINERALS INITIATIVES

Highlights:

  • Strategic U.S. focused Critical Minerals initiatives launched for the Mojave Antimony and Rare Earths Project in California

  • Project targets Antimony (Sb) and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) including NdPr and Cerium, designated as critical by the U.S. Government

  • Mojave located 1.4 km from MP Materials’ Mountain Pass Mine, the only active REE processor in the U.S

  • Locksley proceeding formal engagement with U.S. federal initiatives:

    • EXIM Bank – Submission to support U.S. content and financing

    • FAST-41 – Federal permitting acceleration application in preparation

    • DPA Title III – Application to support U.S. based processing and strategic metals development

    • DOE / National Laboratory – Collaboration discussions underway for REE separation R&D and antimony purification

  • Allister Caird appointed to lead downstream strategy:

    • 15+ years’ experience in geology, geophysics, and applied research

    • Formerly Senior Research Geoscientist at CSIRO, Australia’s premier scientific institution

    • Specialist in critical minerals, remote-area exploration, and integrated, multidisciplinary programs

  • Locksley’s strategic goal is to develop an integrated, secure U.S. supply chain for REEs and antimony from mine to advanced materials

Locksley Resources Limited ( ASX: LKY ) ( “Locksley” or “Company” ) is pleased to outline its strategic roadmap for the development of the Mojave Critical Minerals Project in California and announce the appointment of Mr Allister Caird to lead the Company’s Critical Minerals strategy.

Strategic Vision – U.S. Aligned Supply Chain Development

Since President Trump’s election in November 2024, U.S. policy has increasingly prioritised domestic production of antimony and rare earth elements (REEs) including neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) & cerium, recognising them as critical to national security and advanced manufacturing.

In this revitalised regulatory environment, Locksley is accelerating its exploration program at the Mojave Project, including geological mapping, follow up surface sampling and drilling campaigns with the objective of discovering economic antimony and REE mineralisation. The Company is uniquely positioned, through the discovery of resources at the Mojave Project, to becoming a fully integrated supplier of REEs and antimony from mine through to advanced materials thereby securing a resilient, U.S. based supply chain. President Trump’s Executive Order of March 20, 2025, further cements this opportunity by mandating expedited permitting for critical-minerals projects, direct coordination with the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) and prioritised access to Defense Production Act (DPA) funding, positioning the Mojave Project to advance without delay.

The Company is proceeding with multiple U.S. federal initiatives including:

  • EXIM Bank – Submission to support U.S. equipment and service integration.

  • FAST-41 – Federal permitting acceleration application.

  • DPA Title III – Defense focused processing funding proposal for Antimony and REEs.

  • DOE Collaboration – Strategic partnership discussions with U.S Laboratories to evaluate REE separation technologies.

These initiatives form a key aspect of Locksley’s integrated development model, aiming to create a secure, U.S. based processing pathway for critical minerals from Mojave, aligned with national security and clean technology imperatives.

Appointment of Allister Caird – Head of Critical Minerals

To drive these strategic initiatives, Locksley is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Allister Caird to lead the Company’s Critical Mineral strategy. Mr. Caird is a highly experienced geologist and geophysicist with over 15 years’ experience across academic, technical, and operational resource roles, including a senior research position at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency.

Mr Caird has a proven record in:

  • Multidisciplinary exploration and mineral systems modelling.

  • Leading field and lab-based programs in complex environments including Arctic and remote exploration.

  • Cross-disciplinary research focused on advancing the understanding of complex geological systems.

Allister’s extensive background in applied research, particularly through his time at CSIRO and other leading exploration groups, places him in a strong position to develop Locksley’s REE and antimony initiative with U.S. national laboratories and potential downstream partners.

Commenting on the appointment, Chairman Nathan Lude said:

“We are excited to welcome Allister to the Locksley team. His combination of technical depth, Government research experience and project leadership is exactly what we need as Mojave progresses toward a vertically integrated U.S. aligned development model. Mr Caird will begin immediately and will spearhead Locksley’s federal collaboration submissions, and potential strategic partnerships with U.S. research and processing groups”.

Next Steps

  • Develop and initiate exploration programmes targeting REE and antimony across the Mojave Project claims.

  • Finalisation of collaboration scope and sample testing framework.

  • Engagement with U.S. offtake, magnet and battery supply chain participants.

  • Application for Government funding and loans programs

Locksley Resources remains committed to unlocking the full potential of Mojave as a secure, strategic and scalable source of critical minerals for the U.S. industrial and defense sectors. Locksley has recently made significant progress towards obtaining drilling approvals at the Desert Antimony Mine and El Campo project due to President Trumps Executive orders to fast-track exploration activities.

LKY is also active in exploring for Rare-Earth Element (REE) projects located in the United States of America (USA), positioning LKY as a player in the fast-growing REE exploration market. LKY aims to build shareholder wealth through the discovery and development of mineral deposits across various Australian and USA projects; being the Tottenham Project and Mojave Project.

Mojave Project

The Mojave Project is in the Mojave Desert, California, USA. Consisting of two areas: The North Block is 14.9km², NorthEast Block 5.7km² and El Campo Prospect totalling 0.34km². This brings the total land tenure for the Mojave Project to 20.94km[2] held within two distinctive contiguous claim blocks. The Mojave Project is positioned next to one of the highest-grade REE mines in the world and multiple significant carbonatite REE veins have been identified. The Mojave Project has returned high grade TREO rock-chip results of up to 9.49%. The Desert Antimony Mine has returned rock-chip samples as high as 11.2% & 8.33% Antimony (Sb).
