Raster map showing relative prospectivity for pegmatite-hosted lithium for buffered distances around faults and shears derived from 1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geological mapping. Buffers were assigned relative prospectivity values from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) based on their empirical correlation with harmonized Li data from the Western Australian exploration drillhole database (WAMEX).
