The extremely promising Northern Arunta Pegmatite Province is home to several rare metal pegmatite fields. A lot of these are thought to be lithium-caesium-tantalum compounds (LCT). World-class lithium and tantalum deposits can be found in Western Australia in pegmatites, a form of rare-element pegmatite, at places like Greenbushes, Pilgangoora, and Wodgina. There might also be other pegmatites, like those connected to rare earth elements.
