Insights

Mining & Commodities Analyst

The updated Life of Mine Plan reveals a substantial expansion of Largo's vanadium-titanium operation with significant economic implications. The 67% increase in Mineral Reserves and 64% increase in Mineral Resources translates to a 31-year mine life, extending operations to 2054. The project demonstrates robust economics with a $1.1 billion post-tax NPV7% and $3.8 billion in life-of-mine cash flows.

The planned sequential mining strategy across multiple pits (Campbell, NAN, SJO, NAO and GAN) ensures steady production, while proposed expansions in vanadium processing and ilmenite concentration capabilities position Largo to meet growing market demand. The addition of a $480.1 million TiO2 pigment plant represents a significant value-add opportunity.

While head grades have decreased with the inclusion of new deposits, the expanded resource base and processing capabilities should support long-term production stability. The project's economics appear solid given current commodity price assumptions, though investors should monitor execution risks around planned facility expansions and capital expenditure requirements.

Industrial Materials Expert

The strategic significance of this expansion cannot be overstated in the context of critical materials supply. The project will produce 346.6 kt of V2O5 equivalent and 7,766.6 kt of ilmenite concentrate over its life, positioning Largo as a major Western hemisphere supplier of these strategic materials.

The planned TiO2 pigment production capacity of 2,499 kt represents vertical integration into higher-value products. This is particularly relevant as global markets seek secure supply chains for titanium products used in aerospace and industrial applications. The phased approach to capacity expansion, reaching 100 ktpy of TiO2 pigment by 2031, appears well-aligned with market growth projections.

Significant Increase In Largo’s Mineral Resource and Reserves

The Company’s updated 2024 Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates demonstrate considerable advancements in exploration and development efforts at Largo over the last three years. Based on an extensive exploration program comprising 650 diamond drill holes, totaling over 114,000 meters (“m”) and incorporating more than 47,000 samples (45,814.24 m), the new geological models provide a strong foundation to support future production scenarios outlined in the 2024 Technical Report. This update includes newly reported Indicated and Inferred Resources at SJO and NAO, with additional Inferred Resources delineated at Jacaré (“JAC”), GAS, and Rio de Contas (“RIOCON”).

The Company has significantly increased both its Mineral Reserves and Resources through these exploration efforts, driven by a deeper understanding and improved interpretation of the ore bodies. While this additional knowledge has contributed to a substantial increase in the Company’s overall resource base, it has also led to a reduction in head grades, as the knowledge and understanding of more complex ore zones, including lower-grade pegmatite bodies, have been incorporated into the models. This is expected to enable the Company to optimize future mining and processing activities, balancing anticipated resource growth with long-term operational efficiency.

Future Growth Opportunities at the Project

The Company is actively advancing several long-term growth initiatives, designed to enhance resource potential and production capabilities at the Project. These initiatives will focus on both expanding the Company's resource base and leveraging new technologies to optimize future operations.

1. Additional Exploration and the Campbell-GAS Deposit Connection: The Company is undertaking an exploration program to confirm mineralization between the Campbell Pit and the GAS deposit. Previous drilling at the GAS target identified 11.3 mt of Inferred Resources, grading 0.58% V₂O₅ and 8.48% TiO₂, with concentrate grades of 2.31% V₂O₅ and 2.22% TiO₂. The relatively short distance of approximately 800 m between the Campbell Pit and the GAS deposit presents a strong opportunity to enhance the Company’s resource base by connecting these deposits. If successful, this would increase the overall ROM material close to the Company’s existing processing facilities as compared to other more northerly deposits.
2. PGM Opportunities: At the end of 2023, the Company resumed studies to further explore the existence of PGMs within its non-magnetic tailings ponds. Auger samples from the non-magnetic tailings ponds revealed promising results, with notable platinum and palladium grades, including 3.0 meters grading 0.410 g/t Pt and 0.209 g/t Pd. This follows historical data from past exploration efforts at the Company, which also demonstrated significant PGM mineralization (see press release dated March 5, 2024). By further reviewing and analyzing historical drill data, the Company aims to develop a comprehensive PGM resource model that could further enhance the potential of future mining operations and provide a potential new revenue opportunities alongside its vanadium and ilmenite operations. PGMs are highly valuable due to their applications in catalytic converters and the automotive industry, presenting a major growth opportunity if these studies yield positive results.
