The Placement was led by well established U.S. institutional investors, providing a strong endorsement of Locksley's strategy to deliver a fully integrated U.S. based 'Mine to Market' critical minerals supply chain. Their participation brings not only capital but aligned sector expertise and ongoing engagement that supports the Company's downstream development objectives within the United States.
The raise was conducted under the Company's refreshed placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2025.
Strategic Execution Enabled by the Placement
Proceeds from the Placement will accelerate execution across the following:
- Rapid Advancement of drilling, assay programs and structural mapping to define mineralisation across the Mojave Project
- Acceleration of downstream processing and American-made conversion planning for antimony products
- Enhanced positioning for engagement with federal level funding initiatives, supporting Locksley's role within the U.S. critical minerals ecosystem
- Accelerated progression toward first-mover status in restoring domestic U.S antimony supply, aligned with national security and industrial demand
- Continuous parallel execution of permitting, stakeholder engagement, engineering and project scheduling
Locksley Managing Director, Kerrie Matthews, commented:
"The depth of support across both international and Australian institutional markets represents a strong validation of our strategic pathway. In particular, the strong level of U.S. participation aligns directly with our downstream ambitions and reinforces the commercial relevance of our development plan.
The involvement of leading U.S. institutional investors is more than capital allocation; it is a strategic endorsement of Locksley's emerging role within the domestic U.S critical minerals sector. This support comes at a time when the U.S administration is emphasising critical minerals as a national security priority and seeking to reduce reliance on foreign-controlled processing capacity.
With this institutional backing, Locksley is positioned to advance its contribution to a U.S. based supply chain for antimony and rare earths.
Importantly, this funding allows us to execute at pace while continuing to progress federal engagement initiatives. The capital secures our ability to accelerate exploration, development planning, and downstream partnerships, unlocking the full potential of the Mojave Project.
We are delighted to welcome these new investors to the register and look forward to working with partners who can support our long-term growth agenda."
