His work at GDIT focuses on aligning complex technical systems with operational needs, experience that directly parallels Locksley’s vision of integrating exploration, processing, and market delivery into one cohesive Mine-to-Market strategy.
Over his career, Peter has held senior appointments with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Agency (NSA), and The Joint Staff, developing expertise in system integration, organisational transformation, and multi-domain coordination. He holds a Master’s degree in National Security Affairs, a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and has completed advanced studies in joint command, cyber operations, and strategic foresight. Additionally, he served as a National Defense Fellow at the Atlantic Council of the United States, in Washington, D.C.

Kerrie Matthews Locksley Chief Executive Officer commented;
‘Peter’s appointment to the Locksley Advisory Board, comes at a pivotal time for the United States as the nation seeks to secure and strengthen its domestic supply of critical minerals.
His exceptional background spanning military intelligence, defence industry leadership, and strategic operations will bring immense value to Locksley as we advance our Mojave Project and broader North American expansion strategy.
Peter’s experience will provide strong stewardship as we continue building a secure, technologically advanced mine-to-market supply chain that aligns with U.S. strategic objectives for critical minerals independence.

About Locksley Resources Limited:
Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.
Mojave Project
Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials’ claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area.
In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic ‘Desert Antimony Mine’, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S.
Locksley’s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.
Tottenham Project
Locksley’s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation
