TORONTO, March 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd.
('Largo' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the final assay results from the final 25 drill holes totalling 3,981 meters from the recently completed drill program at its Maracas Vanadium Project in Bahia, Brazil. The below stated results are from the Novo Amparo Norte, Sao Jose West and Gulcari 'A' North zones, located north of the Gulcari 'A' deposit which hosts all the previously reported resources on the Maracas property (see Figure 1).Significant results include (these are all true thickness):
-- Hole FNAN10 - 27.00 metres grading 1.07% V2O5, including 21.00
metres grading 1.18% V2O5(Novo Amparo Norte Zone)
-- Hole FNAN15 - 20.00 metres grading 1.13% V2O5(Novo Amparo Norte
Zone)
-- Hole FGAN06 - 7.00 metres grading 1.09% V2O5,including 3.00
metres grading 1.18% V2O5(Gulcari 'A' North Zone)
-- Hole FGAN15 - 12.00 metres grading 1.03% V2O5(Gulcari 'A' North
Zone)
-- Hole FGAN17 - 9.00 metres grading 1.10% V2O5(Gulcari 'A' North
Zone)
-- Hole FSJ21 - 12.00 metres grading 1.05% V2O5(Sao Jose West
Zone)
The current drill holes are step out holes testing new zones north and east from the Gulcari 'A' deposit (see Figure 1). The complete results are presented below in Table 1.
Andy Campbell, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration of the Company commented: 'I am very pleased with the results that the recently completed drill program has produced and anticipate that this program will lead to a significant increase in the global resources at the project. We targeted specific stepout holes away from the Gulcari 'A' deposit which have led to some of what we believe are considerable extensions to the existing resource. With the drill program completed we are now focused on incorporating these new results into our database and updating our geological model in order to produce a new mineral resource for the project.'
