INVESTOR UPDATE

MOJAVE PROJECT UPDATE

Highlights:

  • Recent Executive Order may expedite permitting for the Mojave Antimony Project

  • High-grade rock chip assays up to 46% antimony (Sb) and 1,022 g/t silver (Ag)[1]

  • Drill targets identified along a 400m mineralized strike length

  • Anticipated streamlined permitting opportunities via the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC)

Locksley Resources Limited ( ASX: LKY ) ( “Locksley” or “Company” ) provides the following update on the Company’s ongoing efforts to secure drilling approvals for its Mojave Antimony Project in the United States.

Mojave Project – Permitting Update:

Locksley has been progressing through the necessary regulatory approvals for drilling at its Mojave Antimony Project, an asset of increasing strategic importance given the growing U.S. focus on securing domestic sources of critical minerals.

The Company has been engaged for many months with the Bureau of Land Management ( BLM ) on the permitting process. The BLM initially advised that the Antimony Project drilling program would require an Environmental Assessment ( EA ) level review under the National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ) before approval can be granted. The EA process is known to be costly and could take up to 12 months to complete.

However, following the recent Executive Order by President Trump on “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production,” the regulatory landscape may shift in favour of expedited approvals. The Company is assessing if the EA process can be accelerated or exempted under the new streamlined permitting policies and will work with regulatory bodies and stakeholders to leverage these policy changes.

High-Grade Antimony and Silver Results:

As announced on 31st October 2024[1] , Locksley received rock chip assay results, which have confirmed extremely high-grade antimony and silver mineralization at the Desert Antimony Mine, a key target within the Mojave Project. Highlights from the surface sampling included:

  • Rock chip assays returning up to 46% antimony (Sb)

  • Eight samples with over 17% Sb, and 18 samples above 1.4% Sb

  • High-grade silver assays, including up to 1,022 g/t Ag

  • Polymetallic mineralization, with elevated lead, zinc, and copper

  • Identification of a 400m mineralized surface strike length for further drill targeting

These results further reinforce the potential for significant antimony and rare earths mineralization at Mojave. Drilling targets have been identified and the Company has prepared the required Plan of Operations to support the drilling application submission to the BLM.

Key Support from U.S. Federal Policies:

Key provisions in the Executive Order that could directly support Locksley’s permitting efforts include:

  • Expedited Permitting for Critical Minerals Projects: Federal agencies are mandated to identify and fast-track approvals for strategically significant mineral projects. Given Antimony and Rare Earths’ classification as critical minerals, Mojave may qualify for accelerated processing.

  • Access to Federal Funding and Defence Support: The Defence Production Act (DPA) will provide funding and financial incentives for domestic mineral production. Locksley is evaluating potential funding opportunities through the U.S. Department of Defence (DoD) to support Mojave’s development.

  • Streamlined Environmental Reviews: The NEPA process is being revised to balance environmental stewardship with efficient approvals, potentially reducing the required review time and associated costs.

  • National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) Support: The newly formed NEDC is tasked with coordinating government-backed mineral production initiatives, which may facilitate inter-agency collaboration and permitting acceleration for the Mojave Project.

Locksley will continue to monitor advancements to ensure maximal benefit from these policy changes, positioning the Mojave Project as a key contributor to America’s critical mineral independence.

Board Changes – Managing Director Transition

Locksley also advises that Mr. Steve Woodham will be stepping down as Managing Director and transitioning to a Non-Executive Director role. Mr. Woodham has played an instrumental role in advancing the Company’s exploration strategy and securing key project opportunities since the initial IPO. The Board extends its appreciation for his leadership and ongoing contributions.

Next Steps

  • Further discussions with the BLM regarding the permitting process for the Mojave Antimony Project, incorporating the recent federal policy changes.

  • Engage with the newly established National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) to seek fast-track permitting eligibility.

  • Explore potential funding opportunities under the Defence Production Act (DPA) to support Mojave’s development.

  • Advance drilling plans in light of high-grade assay results, preparing for submission of a formal drilling application.

  • Continue engaging with federal and state regulatory bodies to determine opportunities for permitting streamlining and any financial support.
