OK thanks for clarifying. I'd stated this earlier and nobody corrected me. Apologies.
Confusion continues on the spudomene/pegmatites thing.
I thought pegmatites are the surface Li and spudomene is the host of the Li in the ground. Pegmatites are extreme igneous rocks that form during the final stage of a magma's crystallization. They are extreme because they contain exceptionally large crystals and they sometimes contain minerals [such as lithium presumably] that are rarely found in other types of rocks. - fecco.com
Spodumene is a lithium mineral derived from pegmatite rock. Known for its high lithium content, spodumene is the most widely exploited mineral source of lithium.
So it's spudomene that we're after, based on indicative surface pegmatites containing Li.
It gets very technical in here and it's good to sometimes clarify for the non-geos and punters etc who are just trying to make sense of it all. cheers
