ASX-listed Locksley Resources has turned up the heat on its flagship DeepSolv processing technology, run in collaboration with Rice University in Texas, by revealing plans to expand the program to include a wider slate of antimony feedstocks.
The company inked a technical partnership with Rice five weeks ago, headed by university executive vice president Professor Pulickel Ajayan, who is a global pioneer in nanotechnology and materials science and leads Rice’s research team.
The agreement sets out a plan to look at new ways to extract and refine antimony using Rice’s proprietary technology, and will investigate the metal’s potential in advanced energy storage applications.
Locksley’s latest visit to Rice involved senior management meeting with Ajayan and the university’s tech transfer office to formalise the alliance. A dedicated workshop will pave the way for what the company called a “practical and accelerated” test work program.
