  • Self serving

    It’s tough listening to the host Joe continually praise himself and/or the companies he’s involved with, while criticizing others for seemingly no reason. He’s a got peak small man energy.

    Thankfully, he brings on great guests most of the time who help bring interesting knowledge to the conversation.

  • Full of great perspective on his experiences in the Lithium market

    I’ve only recently began peaking an interest in the lithium space, honestly I didn’t about it so I have to admit I’m uneducated and I look forward to this podcast to gain knowledge and perspective in a space Joe knows so well. You don’t earn the name Mr. Lithium without knowing your stuff. Keep up the great work thank you for what you do Joe.

  • Joe has a point of view!

    Joe’s experience and contacts are ‘must listen’. While Joe did not get the price movement right last year, he did provide a lot of useful context for what was happening as the lithium price melted down. The best aspect of the podcast is his vast knowledge of all of the companies and especially how China operates. I have deep respect for his willingness to put himself out there on his podcast. Very grateful for Joe Lowry.

  • Liontown Resources

    With the DFS due any day now and the IPO of its non-lithium assets on Oct 15. It would be an interesting time to talk to Tony Ottaviano CEO (ex BHP) As the largest hard rock lithium resource on the planet that has no offtake agreements and with its Buldania resource @15MT still largely unexplored, this should be one of the most interesting interviews you could do at the moment considering the looming deficit.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 239: Venkee Sharma
Q: What is Pearl and how does it fit into the broader strategy?
Pearl stands for purification, extraction, and refining of lithium, acting as a platform that licenses technologies, delivers modular equipment, and provides ongoing digital optimization to cover the full flow sheet from brine interface to battery-grade lithium.
Episode 239: Venkee Sharma
Q: How does Aquatech handle the bespoke nature of DLE across different brines and regions?
Aquatech argues for a best-fit approach to each resource, using LiPro where suitable but also applying other DLE technologies when needed to match brine chemistry and contaminants; the emphasis is on the full flow sheet integration to maximize performance and cost efficiency rather than applying a single universal DLE solution.
Episode 234: Brine Fundamentals
Q: What are the top three or four elements of a great lithium project?
A great lithium brine project is defined by size and permeability, water access, manageable impurities, and robust infrastructure, with permitting and social license also playing pivotal roles; recovery and processing considerations must balance with the overall feasibility and potential to reach a PFS.
Episode 233: Chris Reed
Q: How big is your vision for this? And how fast?
The vision in Utah is large, leveraging abundant brine resources and cheap energy to develop a scalable process with potential for substantial output within a few years, including a pilot, resource estimates, and scoping studies within 12 months, followed by faster progress due to existing wells and infrastructure.
Episode 223: Listener Q&A
Q: What does the recent rebound in several ASX lithium names indicate about market positioning for 2026?
Lowry references Ganfeng's predictions for lithium demand and supply forecasts, indicating a potential tightening market and upward price adjustments.
