Hi @Minion32,
Like you I am a GMN holder for the Li prospects (thank you for the refs to the Proctor maps, above).
But I’m curious about the REE acquisition (and the activity of the neighbours) so I looked closer at what
the fuss is about. The Th occurrence maps in post https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/71243940/single
indicate that there is REE prospectivity in the area.
The BRE tenements have about 500 reported drill holes running in a N-S arc.
Their locations span a distance of some 50km, but the 8 exceptional REE discoveries within them
are all within 600m of one another, at Monte Alto -13.34637,-39.62139.
The map above can be viewed in 3D by downloading zip

( see post https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/70735092/single for setup instructions).
The location of two exceptional BRE REE discoveries are marked on the map (Drill Holes STU0370 and STU0181).
In the map NE corner is a proximate GMN tenement, 872221/2023.
There is a valley that runs from South to North between Monte Alto and that GMN tenement.
By rotating/tilting/inverting the 3D map it can be seen that the valley forms a keel
causing ALL run-off from the Eastern flank of the upland plateau (including Monte Alto)
to flow east and north into the GMN tenement, eventually.
The high erosion rates on the Eastern escarpment would contribute to the REE IAC prospectivity
of transported soils in the sediment fans in the lowlands (see pg 201 in the BRE prospectus).
This gives new meaning to the GMN prospect name "Down Under" !
