Jane Morgan Management
Appointment reinforces Locksley’s leadership in America’s race for critical minerals independence
Locksley Resources (ASX: LKY | OTCQX: LKYRF | FSE: X5L) has appointed Major General (Ret.) Peter J. Lambert, a former senior U.S. Air Force and General Dynamics executive, to its Advisory Board - further strengthening the Company’s strategic position in the development of a 100% American mine-to-market critical minerals supply chain.
Major General Lambert brings over 30 years of leadership experience across U.S. intelligence, defence, and advanced technology integration, including service as Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) at U.S. Air Force Headquarters.
He later joined General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), one of America’s leading defence and aerospace technology companies, where he focused on secure communication, intelligence, and systems integration for national security applications.
His appointment will support Locksley’s advancement of the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements and antimony - two minerals deemed critical to U.S. national security.
Strategic Defence Expertise to Advance U.S. Critical Minerals Independence
Major General Lambert’s experience spans intelligence-driven decision-making, advanced systems integration, and strategic foresight. His appointment will enhance Locksley’s capability in four key areas:
-
Advanced Systems Integration & Intelligence Driven Decision-Making: Leveraging ISR frameworks and data-driven operational planning to enhance project governance, visibility, and risk assessment.
-
Strategic Capability Development & Organisation: Advising on organisational design and resource alignment as Locksley transitions from exploration to production.
-
Government and Defence Engagement: Supporting engagement with U.S. defence and government stakeholders to strengthen domestic critical minerals supply chains.
-
Strategic Foresight & Risk Intelligence: Anticipating market and policy shifts affecting U.S. antimony and rare earth supply resilience.
CEO Comment
Kerrie Matthews, Locksley Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Peter’s appointment to the Locksley Advisory Board comes at a pivotal time for the United States as the nation seeks to secure and strengthen its domestic supply of critical minerals.
His exceptional background spanning military intelligence, defence industry leadership, and strategic operations will bring immense value to Locksley as we advance our Mojave Project and broader North American expansion strategy.
Peter’s experience will provide strong stewardship as we continue building a secure, technologically advanced mine-to-market supply chain that aligns with U.S. strategic objectives for critical minerals independence. We are delighted to welcome Peter to the Locksley Advisory Board and look forward to his guidance as we continue to unlock value and deliver on our mission.”

About Locksley Resources Limited
Locksley Resources Limited is focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley is executing a mine-to-market strategy for antimony, aimed at re-establishing domestic supply chains for critical materials, underpinned by strategic downstream technology partnerships with leading U.S. research institutions and industry partners. This integrated approach combines resource development with innovative processing and separation technologies, positioning Locksley to play a key role in advancing U.S. critical minerals independence.
Mojave Project
Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 491 claims across contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block 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, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area. In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic “Desert Antimony Mine”, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S. Locksley’s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.
