Locksley Resources Achieves 99.5% Purity Antimony
About this episode
Locksley Resources achieves a significant milestone at its Desert Antimony mine, producing high-purity antimony trioxide directly from mine feedstock. This breakthrough, driven by metallurgical improvements, paves the way for a domestic refining setup, currently dominated by overseas supplies. The companys success in producing high-purity antimony trioxide, crucial for defense applications, is a testament to their process. Locksley also initiates its first diamond drilling campaign to explore deeper high-grade zones, aiming to scale up their refining paths and present results to the Department of Energys critical minerals programs.

Sydney's story is making news on March 12th. Locksley resources hit a major milestone at its desert antimony mine in California, part of the larger Mojabi project. They produced antimony trioxide with 99.5% purity straight from mine feedstock. This industry-grade result came from targeted metallurgical improvements. The achievement points to a full mine-to-market setup on American soil. Right now, global supplies of this critical mineral are mostly overseas, but locksley aims to change that with domestic refining that matches US. Priorities High-purity antimony trioxide feeds into defense needs like primers from munitions, military electronics, and flame retardant systems. Company leaders see this as proof their process works for those high-value markets. Meanwhile, they've launched their first diamond drilling campaign at the mine. It's targeting deeper, high-grade zones below old workings to build more data.
This bench-scale success confirms US refining paths can scale up. Locksley plans to present results to the Department of Energy's critical minerals programs, pushing toward integrated production.
