Locksley Resources and Rice University achieve antimony processing breakthrough, upgrading low-grade ore to 93% purity

Locksley Resources and Rice University achieve antimony processing breakthrough with DeepSolv technology

Locksley Resources, in partnership with Rice University, has developed a proprietary hydrometallurgical technology called "DeepSolv" that upgrades low-grade antimony ore (9-12% antimony) into a high-purity product with up to 93% antimony content. This breakthrough could help establish a US-based antimony supply chain, reducing reliance on China for this critical mineral used in defense, electronics, and flame retardants.
