TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a non-binding indicative term sheet from its consortium of lenders ("Lenders") to defer its debt amortization schedule and extend the maturities for its construction debt facility and its export credit facilities  ("Facilities") for its Maracas Menchen Mine.

The current term sheet envisages a deferral of one year to the amortization repayment schedules for all the Facilities and an extension in the maturity of two years for the export credit facilities and three years for the main construction facility.  

The term sheet is indicative in nature and remains subject to approval from each of the Lenders credit committees and some other conditions precedent prior to closing. Largo anticipates that the process will be concluded prior to the commencement of the amortization period on its existing Facilities.

Mark Brennan, President and Chief Executive Officer for Largo, stated: "We are extremely pleased to have received this indicative term sheet from our Lenders. Although not yet finalized, we believe this indicative term sheet demonstrates our Lenders support of the Project and their willingness to engage in productive negotiations. We at this time remain confident that a suitable conclusion will be reached in the near term."

He continued, "While we have seen a deterioration in commodity prices that has an impact on near term cash flow generation, the Maracas Menchen Mine has improved markedly on an operational basis from a year ago and remains extremely viable, particularly once the current ramp up has been achieved."

About Largo

Largo (TSX-V: LGO) is a growing strategic mineral company focused on continuing to ramp-up production at its Vanadio de Maracás Menchen Mine.

Largo's Maracás Menchen Mine boasts the highest grade vanadium deposit yet discovered and is expected to be a low cost producer. With an off-take in place with Glencore, Largo is well positioned to become a leading producer of vanadium globally and is expected to generate substantial cash-flows.

Vanadium is primarily used as an alloy to strengthen steel and reduce its weight. Vanadium enhanced steels are used in a vast and growing range of products that are used and encountered every day; including, rebar, automobiles, transport infrastructure etc. With a compound annual growth rate of over 6% for the past several years (Roskill, 2013), vanadium is a bourgeoning commodity which lacks opportunities for investment in the wider market place. As trends in the steel industry now demand increasingly stronger and lighter products for advanced applications, the use of vanadium is expected to continue this growth over the medium and long term.

Largo also has interests in a portfolio of other projects, including: a 100% interest in the Currais Novos Tungsten Tailings Project in Brazil; a 100% interest in the Campo Alegre de Lourdes Iron-Vanadium Project in Brazil; and a 100% interest in the Northern Dancer Tungsten-Molybdenum property in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Largo is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LGO".
