If read in conjunction with the announcement I referenced, you will note that we have the tenements spoken to in the report.

ABSTRACT: Tin- and tantalum-bearing LCT-type granitic pegmatites occur in a 45 km long belt between Eskdale and Mount Wills in north-eastern Victoria. Near Mount Wills, several compositionally zoned rare-element pegmatites contain complex assemblages of primary and secondary phosphate minerals, many of which are rare and previously unrecorded in Victoria.

Using the classification system of Cerny and Ercit (2005), both the Blue Jacket and Knocker pegmatites are highly evolved rocks within the LCT (Li‒Cs‒Ta) family. This is unsurprising, given that LCT granitic pegmatites are typically associated with late tectonic peraluminous granites formed during anatexis of primarily sedimentary source rocks, a setting represented by the Wagga‒Omeo Zone.

Subdivided further in terms of their dominant Libearing mineral, the Blue Jacket is subclass REL-LiComplex-lepidolite and the Knocker is subclass REL-LiComplex-amblygonite.

Strongly fractionated, cassiterite-bearing, granitic pegmatites classified in the LCT family outcrop in the Mount Wills district.

Looks like it is going to be a strong focus on Tantalum.

------------------------

I like that fact that tantalum and tin minerals frequently occur commercially together in hard rock deposits usually as pegmatite. I have found this reference across my research, and we all know that NE Vic is well known for abundance of Tin (e.g see Mitta Mitta in below map).

------------------------

In terms of VIC exploration, Earth Resources notes "there are no records of the presence of lithium-bearing minerals in Victoria. However, there has been no exploration specifically targeting lithium in the state". Until now.

Any comments from better researched individuals welcome.

There has been lithium exploration. Results have been discussed ad nauseum in Perth. There are tantalum credits as you said but combined with Lithium it is still nowhere near minimum commercial levels. If it was even marginal the big boys would have jumped in.
