TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2019 - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (OTCQX: LGORF) announces its second quarter 2019 operational and financial results with 2,515 tonnes of vanadium pentoxide ("vanadium" or "V2O5") produced at an average global V2O5 recovery rate2 of 79.1% and cash operating costs excluding royalties3 of US$3.30 per pound of V2O5.

Mark Smith, Chief Executive Officer for Largo, stated: "We are very pleased with operations in Q2 2019 though declining V2O5 prices combined with the re-measurement of trade receivables / payables under the Company's off-take agreement continued to impact profitability. The Company achieved consecutive monthly production records in June and July following the initial expansion project ramp up which included the start-up of the new deammoniator unit. Another key highlight during Q2 2019 was the Company's second quarter of strong global recoveries, which is highlighted by 80.9% achieved in June. He continued: "With the expansion project ramp up expected to conclude by the end of Q3 2019, the Company is well positioned for strong operational performance during the second half of 2019."

A summary of the operational and financial performance for Q2 2019 is provided in the tables below:

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total sales of V2O5 in Q2 2019 were 2,480 tonnes which includes 360 tonnes of high purity V2O5. The Company's total sales of high purity V2O5 in the six months ended June 30, 2019 are 800 tonnes.

The Company recorded a net loss of $20.5 million in Q2 2019 after the recognition of an income tax recovery of $0.1 million and a deferred income tax expense of $0.4 million. This compares to net income of $90.7 million in Q2 2018 and is primarily due to a decrease in revenues and an increase in operating and finance costs during the quarter.

Following the $46.3 million reduction in revenues as a result of the remeasurement of trade receivables / payables under the Glencore contract, the Company recognized revenues of $29.5 million in Q2 2019 compared with revenues of $103.3 million in Q2 2018. Revenues per pound sold7 in Q2 2019 was $5.39 (US$4.02) compared with $18.91 (US$14.62) per pound in Q2 2018.

Vanadium sales from a contract with a customer was $75.8 million in Q2 2019, compared with $100.7 million in Q2 2018. Vanadium sales per pound sold 7  in Q2 2019 was $13.86 (US$10.33) compared to $18.42 (US$14.24) per pound in Q2 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the V2O5 price, with the average price per lb of V2O5 of approximately US$8.59 for Q2 2019, compared with approximately US$15.44 for Q2 2018. Assuming the quarterly average price per lb of V2O5 of approximately US$8.59 and quarterly V2O5 sales of 2,480 tonnes, the Company could have earned estimated revenue8 of $62.9 million (US$46.7 million) in Q2 2019. The most recent European Metal Bulletin price range quotation for V2O5 posted as of August 9, 2019 was US$7.00 – 7.50 per lb.

The Company's trade payables balance at June 30, 2019 was $67.4 million and the revenue adjustment payable9 was $78.9 million. Assuming V2O5 prices remain the same as at June 30, 2019, the Company's total estimated revenue adjustment payable9 to June 30, 2019 is $94.9 million. At the date of this press release, the Company's estimated revenue adjustment payable for V2O5 sold9 to July 31, 2019 is approximately $99.5 million.

Operating costs for Q2 2019 were $33.3 million compared to $30.2 million in Q2 2018 and include direct mine and mill costs of $22.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $9.0 million and royalties of $1.8 million. The increase in operating costs over Q2 2018 is primarily attributable to an increase in production, the impact of the ramp-up in production following the completion of the kiln refractory replacement in March 2019 and increased HFO and diesel costs.

Cash operating costs excluding royalties3 in Q2 2019 were $4.43 (US$3.30) per pound compared to $4.32 (US$3.35) in Q2 2018, representing an increase of 3%. The increase seen in Q2 2019 compared with Q2 2018 is largely due to the impact of foreign exchange as well as increased HFO and diesel costs, with a decrease seen in the US$ values and consistent global recovery and production levels between the two periods.

Finance costs in Q2 2019 were $10.9 million, representing an increase of $2.5 million from $8.4 million in Q2 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the expensing of the deferred transaction costs on the long-term debt as a result of the committed redemption of the Company's 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "Notes") that was completed in July 2019.

The Company generated positive cash from operating activities, with net cash provided by operating activities of $21.8 million, compared with $69.5 million in Q2 2018. This decrease was primarily due to revenues exceeding direct mine and mill costs and royalties by $5.1 million in Q2 2019, compared with $80.7 million in Q2 2018. This contributed to cash used before non-cash working capital items of $7.8 million, compared with cash provided before non-cash working capital items of $77.7 million in Q2 2018.

Cash used in investing activities in Q2 2019 was $19.0 million representing an increase of $13.9 million from the $5.1 million seen in Q2 2018. This increase is primarily due to the expansion project being undertaken by the Company in 2019 which remains on budget.

Second Quarter 2019 Operational Results

Total production during Q2 2019 from the Maracás Menchen Mine was 2,515 tonnes of V2O5, representing a 20% increase over Q1 2019 and a 2% increase over Q2 2018. Production increased throughout Q2 2019 following the completion of the kiln refractory replacement in March, with 755 tonnes of V2O5 produced in April and 834 tonnes in May. The Company achieved a monthly V2O5 production record in June of 926 tonnes following the installation and start-up of the new deammoniator unit as part of the expansion project ramp up. This was superseded by a new monthly V2O5 production record set in July of 1,042 tonnes, representing an increase of 13% over the month prior.

In Q2 2019, 308,858 tonnes of ore with an effective V2O5 grade5 of 1.21% were mined and the crushing unit was fed with 296,325 tonnes with an effective V2O5 grade of 1.11%. Milling was fed with 102,320 tonnes of pre-concentrate ore with an effective V2O5 grade of 1.49%, reflecting the increase provided by the dry-magnetic separator. Crushing, milling, calcining and the chemical plant performed well throughout the quarter by achieving budget targets and increasing the in-process stocks of V2O5.

Global V2O5 recovery rates2 averaged 79.1% in Q2 2019, which are in line with Q2 2018 and demonstrate another quarter of strong global recoveries2 for the Company. The performance during the quarter is mainly due to the operational stability throughout all sections of the plant and significant process control improvements made by the operational teams. In April, the global recovery was impacted by the lower kiln recovery rate as the kiln returned to optimal operation following its shutdown for the refractory replacement.

The expansion project to increase production capacity by 25% at the Maracás Menchen Mine continues to progress successfully following the start-up of the new deammoniator unit. The expansion project is expected to be completed during Q3 2019 with the start-up of the new ball mill and evaporator units. The ramp up of all areas is expected to be completed by the end of Q3 2019. The Company anticipates that total capital expenditures for its expansion project will remain in the range of $27.0 to $29.0 million for 2019, with between $8.0 and $10.0 million expected in the remainder of the year.

Repayment of All Outstanding Debt

On July 8, 2019, the Company announced that following its election to redeem its outstanding Notes, it had redeemed in full its outstanding Notes.  The Notes were redeemed on July 8, 2019 at a price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The total amount paid was US$23.6 million, including the principal amount of Notes outstanding of US$22.4 million. Following this redemption, the Company is debt-free representing a significant milestone achieved for Largo.

Appointment of Paul Vollant as Director of Sales and Trading

On June 19, the Company announced that Mr. Paul Vollant will be joining the Largo team as Director of Sales and Trading effective September 2019. In this position, Mr. Vollant will lead the development of Largo's sales and trading business and work to further enhance the Company's presence in the global vanadium market. Mr. Vollant brings extensive commodity sales and trading experience with a focus in specialty metals, including vanadium and titanium.

Novo Amparo Norte Mineral Resource Estimate Update

The Company announced an updated mineral resource for its Novo Amparo Norte deposit ("NAN") at its Maracás Menchen Mine on June 11, 2019. The Company's exploration program successfully delivered a significant increase to the overall resource base at NAN with the successful conversion of resources from the Inferred category to the Measured and Indicated categories in addition to increasing the Inferred Resources. The updated resource estimate is based on approximately 12,912 m of diamond drilling over 88 holes (including 5,404 m in 47 drill holes completed in 2019) and 5,549 sample intervals across the deposit. NAN is located approximately 6.5 km north of the Company's current mining operation at the Maracás Menchen Mine, Campbell Pit.

on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.

2.

Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.  The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower
level of confidence than that applied to the Measured and Indicated Mineral
Resource.  It is reasonably expected that a portion of the Inferred Mineral
Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued
exploration.

3.

Magnetite content is determined by Davis Tube Test methodology.  V2O5 content
of the magnetite concentrate was determined by XRF79C methodology at the SGS
facility in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

4.

Assuming only mineralized zones grading 0.45% V2O5 or greater.

5.

Numbers may not add up exactly due to rounding.

Following the successful increase to NAN's overall resource base, the Company has postponed any further geological, engineering and economic studies to further upgrade the understanding of the deposit and will instead continue its focus on planned exploration of the other Satellite Deposits during the second half of 2019. Drilling will focus on the Gulçari A Norte mineralized zone which lies to the north of the Campbell Pit and on the Gulçari A South target which lies just south of the Campbell Pit.

Cash operating costs includes mine site operating costs such as mining costs, plant and maintenance costs, sustainability costs, mine and plant administration costs, royalties and sales, general and administrative costs, but excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based payments, foreign exchange gains or losses, commissions, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation costs.  These costs are then divided by the pounds of production from the Maracás Menchen Mine to arrive at the cash operating costs per pound produced.

These measures, along with revenues, is considered to be one of the key indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its Maracás Menchen Mine. These cash operating costs measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and differ from measures determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.

In addition, the Company's press release refers to cash operating costs excluding royalties. This is a non-GAAP performance measure and is calculated as cash operating costs less royalties, as disclosed in the following tables.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of cash operating costs per pound produced for the Maracás Menchen Mine to operating costs, excluding depreciation expense as per the Q2 2019 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
