TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/05/11 -- Largo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LGO) ('Largo') is pleased to announce that it remains on schedule for the production of tungsten concentrate in July 2011 from its Currais Novos project in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

Highlights of development include:

--  Engineering phase is 95% concluded
--  Civil works contract has been awarded, and construction of the power
    substation building has commenced
--  Long-lead equipment items have been ordered and are beginning to arrive
    at site

--  Consultants have been contracted to assist with equipment imports and
    minimization of taxes
--  Final permitting documents have been submitted
--  Scheduling of the first concentrate delivery on track for end of July

Development at the Currais Novos project is advancing rapidly in accordance with projected deadlines. Plant and site cleaning has concluded and the second phase of construction has commenced. This second phase is comprised primarily of the reforming of plant floors and existing rooms, the erection of equipment bases and the construction of the power substation building.

Procurement of Equipment

All long-lead equipment items have been ordered and are scheduled to arrive on site in due course and on time.

A consultant has been hired to support the project with the importation of all new equipment. Their regional expertise will be invaluable for the smooth transition of items from Brazilian ports and to reduce taxes on any imported items which may further result in a reduction of the project's capital expenditures.

Final Permitting and Water Rights

Water well expansion and permitting is in progress. The well drilling project includes the drilling of six additional wells and the clean-up of four existing wells, which is expected to be adequate for the needs of the project. A water rights permit was previously granted for twelve wells.

All the necessary fire and lightning protection projects have concluded and the corresponding documents have been submitted to the Fire Department in Natal.

Exploration and Expansion

Largo believes that the region immediately surrounding its present Currais Novos Project has great potential for significant exploration discoveries and Largo continues to actively seek additional properties in order to extend and expand the life of the project.

Largo signed a letter of intent for four additional properties (See press release dated January 25, 2011) and is presently in the process of completing its due-diligence on these properties. Upon completion, Largo will negotiate and sign a definitive agreement and move forward with exploration. Largo is confident that these properties have considerable exploration potential and will provide an opportunity to increase Largo's tungsten reserve base as it continues to seek additional properties in the area.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Tim Mann, P. Eng., Chief Operating Officer to Largo and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
