Previous exploration within the area has been directed towards a number of commodities with a focus on uranium and gold. Rare earth elements, diamonds, tin and tungsten have also been sought. No advanced stage historical targets are known, but outcropping lenses of the REE-bearing mineral, monazite are known.

lens shaped outcrops of the REE-bearing mineral ...

Here are 2 links of what a lens-shaped geological outcrop can look like:
- It can be round like in the top link supplied;
- but not necessarily: you may have seen shots of 'Uluru' (Ayers Rock) in Central Australia (bottom link supplied)
* What gives it its name is its convex profile (not its contour shape), like the surfacing back of a blue whale about to dive. Of course, such a visible formation gives away the presence of a huge deeper rocky mass totally different from its geological environment, a bit like an iceberg in an ocean of softer earth or sandy soil.
