Locksley Resources (ASX:LKY) is tackling a high-resolution helicopter-magnetics and radiometrics survey at the Mojave Project in California, US, which will be used to complete a comprehensive structural interpretation across the area.
CEO Kerrie Matthews says the survey builds on the foundational datasets which Locksley is acquiring to fast-track exploration activities.
“Our exploration strategy is to both advance the already identified El Campo rare earth element (REE) and Desert Antimony Mine prospects through drilling, whilst simultaneously aggressively exploring across the rest of our claims to grow the project pipeline,” Matthews says.
“I look forward to the outcome of this survey, which is specifically designed to define new carbonatite-style REE targets by mapping thorium signatures, and the ongoing input from SGC.”
In parallel to the data acquisition, Geophysical Consultants SGC has begun a geophysical data review and re-processing of currently available datasets. These datasets will provide information to support identifying alteration signatures and regional geology and support ongoing exploration work.
Once completed, SGC will complete a geological structural interpretation of the Mojave Project to support direct exploration targeting which will guide on-ground fieldwork and sampling.
The Mojave Project comprises over 491 claims across contiguous prospect areas in the Mojave Desert, California.
Locksley Resources is a critical mineral explorer focused on discoveries in the US.
