Locksley Lists on Frankfurt Exchange, Eyes U.S. Market with 251 Million Shares

European Listing Elevates Visibility

Locksley Resources Ltd (ASX, LKY) has taken a significant step in broadening its investor base by successfully listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker X5L. This move strategically positions the company to tap into the deep pools of capital in the German-speaking DACH region, encompassing Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, a market of nearly 100 million people. The Frankfurt listing is expected to enhance liquidity and price discovery, while providing European investors with direct exposure to a company focused on the increasingly critical U.S. minerals sector.

Strategic U.S. Project in the Mojave Corridor

At the heart of Locksley’s growth story is its Mojave Antimony & Rare Earths Project in California, located just 1.4 kilometres from the Mountain Pass Mine; the only active rare earth mine in the United States. The project boasts impressive surface assay results, including antimony grades as high as 46% and rare earth elements with total rare earth oxides (TREO) up to 12.1%. These findings underscore the project’s potential to contribute to U.S. efforts to secure domestic supplies of critical minerals essential for defense, technology, and energy sectors.

Pathways to U.S. Capital Markets

Building on its European momentum, Locksley is actively evaluating options to enter U.S. capital markets. These include establishing an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program to facilitate U.S. investor participation without cross-border complexities, pursuing a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) merger for accelerated capital access, or undertaking a direct listing or initial public offering (IPO) on major U.S. exchanges such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. Each pathway offers distinct advantages in terms of liquidity, visibility, and alignment with U.S. investors focused on strategic minerals.

Government Registration Enhances Strategic Position

Further cementing its role in the U.S. critical minerals supply chain, Locksley has secured its NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code. This registration is a prerequisite for engaging with U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, opening doors to government contracting and funding programs. This milestone aligns with recent U.S. policy initiatives aimed at accelerating permitting and domestic production of critical minerals, positioning Locksley to benefit from potential government-backed support.

Investor Engagement and Digital Presence

To keep shareholders and stakeholders informed, Locksley has launched a revamped website offering timely updates on its projects and strategy. Additionally, the company released a comprehensive overview video detailing its upcoming drilling program at the Mojave Project, highlighting the dual focus on antimony and rare earth elements. These efforts reflect a commitment to transparency and engagement as the company advances its exploration and development activities.
