TORONTO, Oct. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the civil engineering process at its Maracás Vanadium Project in Bahia, Brazil is underway.

Concrete is presently being poured for service water tanks and work on the foundations for other tanks, and piperacks.  In addition, the construction of the plant administration building will commence shortly.

The civil engineering process will be ongoing throughout 2012 and is expected to conclude in April, 2013.

The electro-mechanical contract for erection of the equipment is currently under analysis by Largo personnel and the EPCM contractor, Promon Engenharia.  This contract is anticipated to be awarded - on schedule - by the end of October.  Electro-mechanical site construction activities are scheduled to commence in February 2013.

Procurement continues with approximately 70% of the equipment and materials orders already having been placed.

Largo has successfully established 5 wells adjacent to the site to provide an adequate supply of water for current construction purposes.  The main water supply line from a location approximately 33 km from the site is under construction and will be completed by December 2012.

Construction of camp facilities and temporary accommodation continues on schedule in the nearby towns of Maracás and Porto Alegre; these facilities will accommodate the majority of the construction contractors.

The power line is progressing on schedule with completion scheduled in July 2013, which will allow commissioning of the plant to commence as planned.
