About Largo Physical Vanadium
Corp.
Largo Physical Vanadium Corp. (LVP) aims to
provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment
alternative for investors interested in having direct exposure to
physical vanadium, which is essential to achieve a greener world in
key industries such as steel, aerospace and energy storage.
Vanadium is non-degrading and fully recyclable when used as
electrolyte in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and offers
carbon reducing attributes when used in steel alloying
applications. LPV’s strategy is not only to achieve appreciation
through the acquisition of vanadium, but to own and actively supply
vanadium to end users of VRFBs to advance to integration of
renewable energy in long duration storage. This strategy is
integral to LPV’s business plan, as it necessarily defrays the
costs associated with using vanadium in VRFBs through the unique
non-degradation characteristics of the metal.
LPV’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the symbol "VAND”. For more information, please
