This partnership represents a significant milestone for Locksley as GreenMet is expected to position the Mojave Project within key U.S. Government initiatives under the Defense Production Act, Inflation Reduction Act and Department of Energy programs.

"This partnership is targeting grant, loan and offtake programs from a number of US governmental entities that can accelerate the Mojave Project's development," said Nathan Lude, chairman of Locksley.

About Locksley Resources Limited

Locksley Resources is an Australian-based explorer focused on critical minerals and base metals, with assets in both the United States and Australia. The company is actively advancing exploration of its US asset, the Mojave Project, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Located in the Mojave Desert in California, the Project comprises more than 250 claims. The North Block area directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials' claims. In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic "Desert Antimony Mine," which last operated in 1937. The United States currently has limited domestic antimony production and demand for the metal runs high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors and metal alloys. Locksley's position is strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE and antimony production. The Company's Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security..
