Locksley Resources (ASX:LKY) submitted the drill permit application for the Desert Antimony Mine, within its Mojave project in California, to the US Bureau of Land Management, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.
Sampling at the mine yielded "exceptional" results, including 46% antimony from rock chip assays, with eight samples above 17% antimony, and mineralization mapped across a 400-meter surface strike length, the filing said.
The company plans to conduct further exploration in high-grade antimony and rare earth element zones through surface and subsurface methods, per the filing.
