TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/06/10 -- Largo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LGO) is pleased to announce that it has hired Mr. Alcides Antonio Lima Palma as site manager for the Currais Novos Tailings Tungsten Project in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Mr. Palma is a chemical engineer with extensive experience in ore treatment including crushing and grinding operations, gravity circuits, hydrometallurgy and tailing disposal. He has worked for a number of notable senior mining companies including CVRD (Vale) and Yamana Gold Inc. Mr. Palma will be responsible for construction and the subsequent day to day operations of the Currais Novos Project.

In addition, Largo has also been granted the Installation Licence (LI) for the project by IDEMA, the state environmental agency for Rio Grande do Norte where the project is located. This licence will enable Largo to commence site work immediately. Engineering activities and the ordering of long-lead items for the project have already commenced.

Mark Brennan, President and CEO of Largo, stated: 'We are very excited to have Alcides join the Largo team in developing the Currais Novos Project. He is a great addition to the already very experienced team that Largo has assembled in Brazil.'

The Currais Novos Project envisions the reprocessing and recovery of tungsten from two tailings piles identified as the Barra Verde and Boca de Laje tailings piles. They were deposited during the processing of ore from the Barra Verde and Boca de Laje tungsten mines that have operated intermittently since the early 1940's, with the Barra Verde mine continuing to operate on a small-scale to date.

The Currais Novos property is located 160 kilometres west-southwest of Natal in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil. The project is in the municipality of Currais Novos, on the Campina Grande-Natal highway, about 12 km. south of the city of Currais Novos.

The 604 hectare property consists of three (3) concessions on which the two tailings piles are situated. Historical tonnage estimates of the piles reported by the previous operators that included Anglo American and its subsidiaries in the late 1970s to the Departamento Nacional de Producao Mineral ('DNPM'), the national mineral agency in Brazil, estimated the piles to contain approximately 4.1 million tonnes of tailings material. This resource estimate should not be relied upon as it is historical in nature and does not conform with the resource categories accepted under NI 43-101. Preliminary samples taken by Largo resulted in grade estimates of approximately 0.12% WO3 which is within the range estimated by the current owners.

The due diligence period has been completed and Largo will be reporting shortly a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource for the tailings and a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) technical report. Also, Largo has carried out testwork to establish its process and metallurgical characteristics. In addition, all necessary titles, legal, environmental and marketing aspects will be reviewed and acquired.

The Currais Novos property is underlain by a portion of the Serido Mobile Belt (SMB) which is located in northeastern Brazil and consists of a gneiss basement (Paleo-Proterozoic), a metasedimentary sequence (marble, quartzites, and schists), and the Brasiliano igneous suite (both of Neo-Proterozoic age). In this region, numerous mineralized skarns occur within marble and at the marble-schist contact in the metasedimentary sequence and have been known since at least the 1940s. The main characteristic of the SMB skarns is that they are dominantly oxidized tungsten skarns and several mines currently operate on a small scale in this part of northeastern Brazil producing tungsten concentrate.
