US backs $191M critical minerals push — Locksley CEO speaks

As the US moves to rebuild its critical-minerals supply chains and cut reliance on China, Australia’s Locksley Resources has secured potential $191 million support from the US Export-Import Bank for its Mojave project in California.

Speaking to MINING.COM, Locksley CEO Kerrie Matthews explains what the deal means for America’s new push toward homegrown antimony and rare earth production, how it ties into the US–Australia Critical Minerals Framework, and why the Mojave project could become a flagship for North American supply independence.
