Locksley Resources has identified a high-grade, northwest- to southeast-oriented mineralized silver corridor at its Mojave project in California, marking a significant advancement in the company’s exploration strategy.
Reconnaissance and surface rock chip sampling has confirmed high-grade silver mineralization extending almost 3 kilometers from the initial high-grade silver discovery, located ~320 meters southwest of the historic Desert antimony mine. Assay results include values of up to 409 g/t silver, with 12 rock chip samples exceeding 30 g/t silver, reinforcing the precious metal potential within the Mojave project’s North Block.
In addition to silver, the results confirm a strong polymetallic system, with significant base metal mineralization recorded. Samples returned grades of up to 4.2% copper, 1.5% lead and 1.5% zinc, highlighting the multi-commodity nature of the mineralized corridor.
A total 398 rock chip samples have been collected across the North Block, with around 260 samples taken along the interpreted corridor between the Desert antimony mine and areas up to 5.6 km to the southeast. Additional notable results include a sample returning 117 g/t silver and 3.1% copper, collected near historic workings where copper carbonate mineralization is visibly present.
Locksley plans to advance this silver and base metals opportunity through a systematic exploration program to be undertaken in parallel with ongoing activities at the Desert mine and El Campo prospects.
