Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) provided a significant operational update for its Mojave Project in California, confirming that the project has now transitioned into the drilling program phase.

HIGHLIGHTS

– Activities have commenced for Locksley’s maiden drilling campaign at the El Campo Rare Earths Prospect, marking the start of the high-impact exploration phase

– The required reclamation bond for the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) has been accepted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), triggering full approval for the expanded drilling program

– Earthworks and drill site preparation underway at El Campo, with El Campo drilling to be followed immediately by equipment mobilisation to the DAM antimony prospect

– Back-to-back drilling programs ensure a continuous flow of exploration news and data through Q1 and Q2, 2026

– These parallel advancements clear the path for testing both high-grade REE targets (up to 12.1% TREO) and the expanded Antimony Exploration Target at DAM

Earthworks contractors have mobilised to the El Campo Rare Earths Prospect to begin drill site preparations. This marks the formal commencement of the Company’s maiden five drillhole diamond drilling program (Figure 2*).

This campaign is designed to test the down-dip continuity of the high-grade REE-bearing breccia zones and shear structures mapped and sampled at surface. The drilling will provide critical geological data to validate the exploration model and confirm the extension of mineralisation at depth.

Locksley also announced, following the end of the government shutdown, the acceptance of the required reclamation bond by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM). This payment was the final condition precedent for the expanded Plan of Operations (POO). With the bond now in place, the DAM diamond drilling program is now fully permitted and ready for execution for up to 16 drill holes for ~2,300 metres (Figure 1*).

To maximise efficiency and reduce mobilisation costs, the Company has structured a sequential drilling campaign where the diamond drill rig at El Campo will mobilise directly to the DAM prospect upon completion of the REE program. This ensures a continuous flow of exploration news and data through Q1 and Q2, 2026, testing the high-grade potential of both strategic commodities.

Kerrie Matthews, Managing Director & CEO, commented:

‘We are finishing 2025 with strong momentum. By commencing operations at El Campo and finalising the bond for DAM, we have effectively opened two fronts for exploration. To maximise efficiency and reduce mobilisation costs, the Company has structured a sequential drilling campaign. The diamond drill rig at El Campo will mobilise directly to the DAM prospect upon completion of the El Campo REE program. This ensures a continuous flow of exploration news and data through Q1 and Q2, 2026, testing the high-grade potential of both strategic commodities’.

About Locksley Resources Limited:

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.

Mojave Project

Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two 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.

Tottenham Project

Locksley’s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) – Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC,OTC:ALTHF) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) announced the completion of the final engineering design for its new-generation SNC UPS battery system. This milestone represents a significant advancement in the Company’s European commercialisation program, developed in partnership with AMPower, the world’s largest producer of sodium-nickel-chloride solid-state batteries.

Highlights

– Final design of the next-generation SNC UPS system now completed

– Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for the first unit scheduled for mid-March 2026

– Five trial sites identified across the Netherlands for deployment following successful FAT

– Major step toward European-wide commercial rollout with AMPower

– Supports gas infrastructure, heavy-industry UPS, and large-scale backup markets

– Reinforces growing demand for fireproof, maintenance-free SNC technology across Europe

With the design now complete, the first production unit is scheduled to undergo Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) in mid-March 2026. The FAT process will validate the system’s electrical performance, safety features, communication protocols, and mechanical integration. This milestone will trigger the initiation of field deployments across the Netherlands, where the Company has identified five priority trial sites.

These five locations, secured through ongoing engagement with Dutch infrastructure and industrial partners, have been selected to demonstrate reliability across a range of UPS environments-including gas transmission facilities, industrial controls, and distributed safety-critical nodes. Each site will utilise the completed SNC UPS cabinet to replace ageing lead-acid or nickel cadmium assets, providing a direct drop-in comparison of life-cycle performance, reliability, and operational simplicity.

The Company notes that Europe’s infrastructure operators-particularly in gas transportation, water utilities, and industrial safety networks-continue to seek safer, maintenance-free alternatives to conventional battery systems. Lead-acid installations across Europe are reaching end-of-life in large numbers, while nickel-cadmium units face increasing environmental and regulatory pressure. Altech’s SNC solution directly addresses these needs, providing a fireproof, hydrogen-free, and maintenance-free UPS battery capable of operating in harsh climates and ATEX-classified zones.

Completion of the final design marks the transition from engineering development into early-stage commercial deployment. The system incorporates a full stainless-steel cabinet, integrated SNC modules, advanced passive-safety architecture, and seamless BMS integration using Modbus, CAN, and RS485 interfaces. Designed as a true ‘drop-and-play’ system, operators can install the SNC unit directly into existing UPS infrastructure without modifying inverters, rectifiers, or site wiring-significantly reducing project complexity and commissioning costs.

The upcoming FAT in March 2026 will represent the Company’s most important technical milestone in the SNC program to date. A successful FAT unlocks immediate preparation for shipment of the first units into Europe, followed by live-environment installation at the five Dutch sites. Deployment will generate operational data on real-world cycling, temperature response, long-duration backup capability, and SCADA integration-data essential for broader customer adoption across Europe’s heavy-industry and utility sectors.

The Company continues to receive strong inbound interest from European, Australian and US operators assessing SNC technology as a long-life, hazard-free alternative to lithium-ion systems, which remain unsuitable for explosive or ATEX-classified environments. With its fully sealed ceramic architecture, the SNC system offers a highly attractive safety profile, particularly for organisations managing risk-critical assets.

The design-completion milestone also reinforces the strength of the Altech-AMPower partnership. AMPower’s manufacturing capability, combined with Altech’s engineering leadership and market engagement in Europe, provides a highly scalable pathway toward long-term commercialisation. As the first unit approaches FAT, both companies are preparing for higher-volume production and accelerated deployment once field trials confirm expected performance outcomes.

The Company sees the Netherlands as a strategic entry point into broader EU adoption. The country’s advanced infrastructure, strong regulatory oversight, and emphasis on operational reliability make it an ideal environment to validate the technology. Successful deployment across the five Dutch trial sites is expected to pave the way for expansion into other parts of Europe.

Altech Managing Director Iggy Tan stated:

‘This is a major achievement for our engineering team and our partnership with AMPower. Completing the final design shifts the program from development into real-world deployment, and the upcoming FAT in mid March 2026 will be a pivotal moment. With five Dutch sites preparing to receive the first systems, we are now entering an important proving phase that will demonstrate the performance, safety, and reliability advantages of our SNC UPS technology. The level of interest across Europe continues to exceed our expectations, and this milestone positions us strongly for large-scale commercial uptake.’
