ASX-listed Locksley Resources has made a big step towards creating a domestic source of antimony in the United States by churning out a high-grade 68.1 per cent concentrate from simple flotation tests on samples pulled from its Desert antimony prospect.
The prospect is part of the company’s larger Mojave critical metals and rare earth project in California.
The standout result, which nudged 95 per cent of what the company described as the theoretical maximum 71.68 per cent achievable, came from just two rounds of preliminary rougher, regrind and cleaner flotation tests.
It easily surpasses the industry’s minimum sales specification of 55 per cent, highlighting the ore’s exceptional purity and suggesting minimal flowsheet tweaking will be needed to ramp up both grade and recovery
