Locksley takes to the skies in Californian rare earths/antimony hunt

Locksley Resources has taken to the skies above its exciting Mojave project in California, launching a high-resolution helicopter magnetic and radiometric survey designed to uncover a new set of antimony and rare earths drill targets.
