TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2014 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its operating license for production at the Maracas Menchen Mine (the "Licença de Operação" or "L.O.").

The Company received a preliminary operating license ("L.P.O.") in May 2014 (see press release dated May 20, 2014) in order to commence the production ramp-up and adjust the system as necessary. The L.O. now provides the definitive operating license for production at the Maracas Menchen Mine.

The receipt of the L.O. indicates that the plant was built, and is operating, according to its design specifications and environmental guidelines. The L.O. is valid for 2 years at which time it may be renewed for extension within 6 months of the L.O.'s expiry date for an additional 2-5 years.

About Largo:

Largo (TSX-V: LGO) is a growing strategic mineral company with projects in Brazil and Canada. The immediate goal of the Company is to ramp-up production at its Vanadio de Maracás Menchen Mine.

Largo's Maracás Menchen Mine boasts the highest grade vanadium deposit yet discovered and is expected to be a low cost producer. With an off-take in place with commodities giant Glencore, Largo is well positioned to become a leading producer of vanadium globally and is expected to generate substantial cash-flows.

Vanadium is primarily used as an alloy to strengthen steel and reduce its weight. Vanadium enhanced steels are used in a vast and growing range of products that are used and encountered every day; including, rebar, automobiles, transport infrastructure etc. With a compound annual growth rate of over 6% for the past several years (Roskill, 2013), vanadium is a bourgeoning commodity which lacks opportunities for investment in the wider market place. As trends in the steel industry now demand increasingly stronger and lighter products for advanced applications, the use of vanadium is expected to continue this growth over the medium and long term.

Largo also has interests in a portfolio of other projects, including: a 100% interest in the Currais Novos Tungsten Tailings Project in Brazil; a 100% interest in the Campo Alegre de Lourdes Iron-Vanadium Project in Brazil; and a 100% interest in the Northern Dancer Tungsten-Molybdenum property in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Largo is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LGO".

Mr. Michael Mutchler, Chief Operating Officer of Largo and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
