Largo Now Controls 40 Kilometres of Strike Length of the Rio Jacare Intrusion That Hosts the Gulcari 'A' Vanadium Deposit
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/22/10 -- Largo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LGO) ('Largo') is pleased to announce that it has increased its land position around the Maracas Vanadium Project. Largo has increased its landholdings from the original two (2) concessions that made up the Maracas vanadium property that totalled 2,000 hectares to 21 concessions totalling 27,172 hectares. These concessions cover the Rio Jacare Intrusion for over 40 kilometres of strike length (see attached concession map below). The Rio Jacare Intrusion hosts the Gulcari 'A' vanadium deposit which is part of the Maracas Vanadium Project. This makes Largo the largest land holder in the area.
The Maracas vanadium property hosts the highest grade known vanadium deposit in the world, the Gulcari 'A' deposit (based on a review of all known vanadium deposits), along with a number of other showings. Largo has completed extensive work on the property including a Definitive Feasibility Study outlining a NI 43-101 proven and probable mineral reserve estimate of 13.1 million tonnes grading 1.34% V2O5, based upon which 155 million pounds of vanadium contained in FeV is projected to be produced over a 23-year project plan (see press release dated August 12, 2008).
Largo believes that there is good potential to expand the mineral resource significantly with drilling along strike and at depth. The existing resource occupies a small foot print of the overall property and Largo has done additional work, including drilling outside of the resource area on the property, that has identified a number of other targets that can be upgraded through drilling. The additional concessions also provide Largo with much greater exploration potential along strike for new target areas to be identified.
