Odd how Lowry is always so negative on DLE. It's even more odd, when he has DLE to thank for his entire career in the Lithium field. If it weren't for DLE, and Dr. Burba, he wouldn't be able to claim his lithium field experience. The company that gave him his START in the Lithium field is non other than Livent. So to hear him talk so negatively about DLE and how 20K is not feasible, when Livent does 16K with less tenements than Lake has, it's even more remarkable. The ONLY reason I feel he does this is that Livent Fired Lowry. And ever since then, he has developed, perhaps unbeknownst to himself, a bias against DLE due to this negative emotional memories of being as he put it: 'Unceremoniously' let go.
The link to this fact is below. Also included is proof of Livent using DLE can easily do 16K and why is it 'impossible' for Lake to simply claim 4K more with far more tenements and acreage than Livent has.
