Business Wire
Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO)
(OTCQX: LGORF) is pleased to announce the first sale of iron ore
from the Maracás Menchen Mine.
The Company finalized a sales contract for 14,000 tonnes of iron
ore to a leading steel producer on March 12, 2021. Transport of the
contracted material has commenced, and full delivery is expected by
the end of March 2021. To date in 2021, the Company is currently
producing iron ore at a rate that would result in the generation of
approximately 500,000 tonnes per annum and has accumulated a total
stockpile of approximately 2 million tonnes.
Paulo Misk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Largo,
stated: “Our first sale of iron ore was a key step in validating
the commercial viability of this material. This sale also
highlights the added benefits of our newly established internal
sales division and capitalizes on the higher iron ore price
environment. He continued: “It is also a diversification of sources
of revenue for the Company as up until now, 100% of the Company’s
revenues have been derived from the sale of vanadium products.
Material mined from the Maracás Menchen Mine contains vanadium,
iron ore and titanium. We will continue to explore the economic
feasibility of extracting additional value from the Company’s
mineral resource.”
