This is my wheelhouse (mining engineer) and sorry to say this is bunk from what i can see.
Its not 15M Tonnes of Lithium. Its 15M Tonnes of lithium containing ore, with an average grade of 0.4% (which i also question without seening core results).
Also terms such as "resource" and "reserve" have very specific meaning in mining (to do with economic viability of deposity/ level of confidence) and this is by no way a "reserve".
Most likely overzealous government minister/media hyper. (sorry to rain on parade!)
