Corporate Highlights
• DOE Selects LCE for Energy Storage Development Funding: On September 23, 2021, the United States DOE announced funding for research and development projects to scale up American manufacturing of flow battery and long duration storage systems. LCE is expected to receive $4.2 million of this funding to develop and demonstrate highly efficient manufacturing processes for affordable, grid-scale flow batteries. The receipt of funds is subject to the completion of the award negotiation of with the DOE and the negotiation is scheduled to be completed within 60 days of the date of announcement. The DOE’s funding will help provide the materials needed to expand the grid with new, clean energy sources, deliver affordable electricity to disadvantaged communities, and help reach the Biden Administration’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
• Manufacturing Strategy and VCHARGE± Certification Progressing on Schedule: The buildout of LCE’s product development and stack manufacturing facility in Massachusetts is proceeding on schedule with substantial completion expected in Q1 2022. The Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) certification of the VCHARGE± system is on schedule for completion in Q4 2021 and LCE expects to proceed and obtain Conformité Européenne (“CE”) certification by Q2 2022. CE certification is the European parallel to UL certification.
• Strong Vanadium Production from Maracás: Production from the Maracás Menchen Mine was 3,260 tonnes of V2O5 in Q3 2021, representing a 5% increase over Q3 2020 and the second-best quarter of production since commencement of operations. V2O5 production was 1,068 tonnes in July, with 1,101 tonnes being produced in August and 1,091 tonnes in September. Increased quarter-over-quarter production was largely due to higher throughput and increased global recoveries3 following the completion of the Company’s expansion project in Q2 2021. The Company achieved an excellent global recovery3 of 83.7% in Q3 2021, being 1% lower than Q3 2020 but 5% higher than the 79.9% achieved in Q2 2021. The Company also produced 113,879 tonnes of concentrate ore with an average V2O5 grade of 3.32% in Q3 2021 compared to 104,921 tonnes in Q3 2020 with an average V2O5 grade of 3.32%.
• Lower Vanadium Sales Driven by Logistical Delays: The Company continues to actively manage its operations to provide premium products and service to its customers. Increased delays and global logistical challenges have impacted all aspects of the Company’s supply chain resulting in lower V2O5 equivalent sales of 2,685 tonnes in Q3 2021. Diligent planning and a comprehensive sales strategy have allowed the Company to deliver on all its commercial commitments up to this point. The Company does not expect the global logistics situation to improve until mid-2022 following increased port equipment availability, at which point the Company expects to reduce its in-transit inventory.
• Vanadium Market Demand Remains Steady: Demand in all of the Company’s key markets remained strong in Q3 2021 highlighted by a quarterly increase of 76% in the European FMB V2O5 price. However, lower activity in the steel related spot market and a general worsening of sentiment in the steel industrial complex following the significant drop in the iron ore price has recently led to some negative pressure on global vanadium prices. Aerospace industry demand continues to recover slowly but remains significantly below pre-COVID demand levels. The Company expects a gradual recovery in vanadium demand from this market over the next two to four years. Largo maintains a strong focus on developing new markets for its high purity vanadium products supported by the addition of vanadium trioxide (“V2O3”) to its product range. The Company continues with the commissioning of its V2O3 plant and expects to conclude this work in Q4 2021.
Revised 2021 Production and Sales Guidance
The Company’s full-year V2O5 equivalent production and sales guidance has been lowered to the range of 11,400 and 11,800 tonnes and 11,200 and 11,800 tonnes, respectively. These adjustments have been made to reflect the Company’s operational performance to date and account for the global logistical challenges expected for the remainder of the year. The Company expects to exit the year with a solid quarter of production and sales results in Q4 2021.
2021 Guidance Revised 2021 Guidance
Annual V2O5 equivalent production tonnes 12,000 – 12,500 11,400 – 11,800
Annual V2O5 equivalent sales tonnes 12,250 – 12,750 11,200 – 11,800

"Largo Inc. (LGO) Q4 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates
Zacks Equity Research March 16, 2022

Largo Inc. (LGO Quick QuoteLGO - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.01 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.14 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.12 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -92.86%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.22 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.14, delivering a surprise of -36.36%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.

Largo Inc., which belongs to the Zacks Alternative Energy - Other industry, posted revenues of $50.33 million for the quarter ended December 2021, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.75%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $42.25 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Largo Inc. Shares have added about 28.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -10.6%.

What's Next for Largo Inc.

While Largo Inc. Has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Largo Inc. Mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $59.03 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.69 on $235.55 million in revenues for the current fiscal year."

Paulo Misk, President and CEO of Largo, stated: “As previously reported in March, the Company experienced impacts to both production and sales during the quarter mainly due to preventative and corrective maintenance on its facility and due to global logistical disruptions. We continue our focus on production improvements throughout the facility and are pleased to report improved V2O5 equivalent production for the month of March with 1,009 tonnes produced. We expect further improvements to production in the second quarter.” He continued: “We are also excited to report that construction on the Company’s ilmenite concentration plant as part of the phased operational approach outlined for Largo’s TiO2 pigment project has commenced at our Maracás operation in Brazil. This is an important first step in advancing one of the Company’s two strategic pillars and we look forward to providing additional updates as we progress through the first phase of this project.” He concluded: “Lastly, demand in all of the Company’s key vanadium markets remained strong in Q1 2022 reflected in strong price increases over the quarter.”

Q1 2022 Operational and Sales Overview

Operational Results in Q1 2022 Impacted by Maintenance; Improvements Seen in March: Production from the Maracás Menchen Mine was 2,442 tonnes of V2O5 in Q1 2022, representing an increase of 23% over Q1 2021. January production was impacted by the residual effects of rainfall in Q4 2021 and a scheduled a six-day shutdown of the processing plant to perform maintenance on the plant cooler engine system and power substations. February production was impacted by a nonplanned corrective maintenance shutdown (5 days) to repair the cooler support bearing with March production being impacted by low concentrate stock levels leading to kiln feed rate restrictions. The Company began ramping up production towards the end of the quarter with a focus on replenishing its intermediate stock levels. In Q1 2022, global recoveries3 averaged 77.5% as compared to the 77.4% averaged in Q1 2021 and were 2% higher than the 76.0% achieved in Q4 2021. The Company mined 303,652 tonnes of ore with an effective V2O5 grade2 of 1.27% in Q1 2022 compared to 263,966 tonnes with an effective V2O5 grade2 of 1.22% in Q1 2021.
Q1 2022 Sales Update: In Q1 2022, the Company sold 2,232 tonnes of V2O5 equivalent compared to 2,783 tonnes sold in Q1 2021. The Company delivered both standard grade and high purity V2O5 as well as ferrovanadium (“FeV”) to its customers, globally. Persistent logistical challenges and elevated transport costs have impacted all aspects of the Company's supply chain resulting in lower than anticipated sales and increased inventory in transit in Q1 2022. However, the Company continued to deliver on all its commercial commitments through careful planning. The Company does not expect the logistics situation to improve until mid-2022, at which point the Company anticipates being able to reduce its inventory in transit through increased sales.
Ilmenite Plant Construction Commenced: In April, the Company received the required installation license to begin construction on its ilmenite concentration plant as part of its phased operational plan outlined in its latest technical report. The Company expects to begin producing ilmenite concentrate in H1 2023.
Q1 2022 Cash Cost Guidance: Due to operational impacts previously mentioned, lower sales, global inflationary pressures and the strengthening of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar, management anticipates cash operating costs excluding royalties4 of approximately US$4.50 per pound sold for Q1 2022.
Clean Energy Manufacturing Facility and VCHARGE Certification Progress: LCE's headquarter configuration, including a VRFB product development and stack manufacturing center, in Massachusetts, U.S. is nearing completion, with formal acceptance scheduled for May 2022. LCE began producing stacks and purifying electrolyte in the new facility and has scheduled prospective customer visits in May. LCE also proceeded with Conformité Européenne (“CE”) certification of the VCHARGE product, and ISO 9001 certification of LCE’s Quality Management System (“QMS”) with audits scheduled for May 2022.

(“CPC”) has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) in respect of its qualifying transaction (the “Transaction”) with Largo Physical Vanadium (“LPV”) pursuant to Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSXV. In connection with the Transaction and pursuant to TSXV requirements, CPC has filed a filing statement dated September 13, 2022 (the “Filing Statement”) on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Once TSXV provides receipt of customary post-closing documentation, the LPV common shares (the “Common Shares”) will commence trading on the TSXV under the symbol “VAND”. The Company expects that the post-closing documentation will be completed by the end of September 2022.

Paulo Misk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Largo commented: “Completion of the Qualifying Transaction represents an important milestone for Largo, LPV and the vanadium sector.Leveraging the unique characteristics of vanadium, prospective investors are now provided with a new vehicle to invest in physical vanadium and gain exposure to the long-term fundamentals of the commodity – a key transition metal for greener steel, strategic and energy storage industries.” He continued: “Through the segregation of vanadium, a key cost component of vanadium redox flow batteries (“VRFB”), LPV intends to enhance the adoption of VRFBs by prospective customers in the long duration energy storage market and thus, grow vanadium demand in the future.”
LPV aims to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in having direct exposure to physical vanadium and not speculating with regard to short-term changes in vanadium prices. LPV will offer pure-play exposure to vanadium and will initially hold approximately 200 mt of vanadium pentoxide equivalent contributed by the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction (the “Largo Contribution-in-Kind”) and further vanadium to be acquired with the proceeds of its CAD$30,220,000 subscription receipt financing that closed on April 14, 2022 (the “Financing”). LPV will acquire and store vanadium units in commercial forms as well as in electrolyte solutions for VRFB applications due to the unique non-degradation characteristic of the metal.

Largo will provide services to LPV pursuant to a safekeeping agreement, supply agreement and technical advisory agreement, each effective on completion of the Qualifying Transaction. In addition to the vanadium contributed pursuant to the Largo Contribution-in-Kind, under the supply agreement Largo has granted LPV a right of first refusal over any non-committed commercial vanadium equivalent products from January to September of each fiscal year. LPV will also benefit from its relationships with Sprott Capital Partners LP and Term Oil Inc. through an advisory services agreement effective on completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

About LPV
LPV aims to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in having direct exposure to physical vanadium, which is essential to achieve a greener world in key industries such as steel, aerospace and energy storage. Vanadium is non-degrading and fully recyclable when used as electrolyte in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and offers carbon reducing attributes when used in steel alloying applications. LPV’s strategy is not only to achieve appreciation through the acquisition of vanadium, but to own and actively supply vanadium to end users of VRFBs to advance to integration of renewable energy in long duration storage. This strategy is integral to LPV’s business plan, as it necessarily defrays the costs associated with using vanadium in VRFBs through the unique non-degradation characteristics of the metal.

About Largo
Largo has a long and successful history as one of the world’s preferred vanadium companies through the supply of its VPURE™ and VPURE+™ products, which are sourced from one of the world's highest-grade vanadium deposits at the Company's Maracás Menchen Mine in Brazil. Aiming to enhance value creation at Largo, the Company is in the process of implementing a titanium dioxide pigment plant using feedstock sourced from its existing operations in addition to advancing its U.S.-based clean energy division with its VCHARGE vanadium batteries. Largo’s VCHARGE vanadium batteries contain a variety of innovations, enabling an efficient, safe and ESG-aligned long duration solution that is fully recyclable at the end of its 25+ year lifespan. Producing some of the world’s highest quality vanadium, Largo’s strategic business plan is based on two pillars: 1.) vanadium production from its operations in Brazil and 2.) energy storage business in the U.S. to support a low carbon future through its clean energy division.

@DZR. AB. Dank voor je melding. Als ik het goed lees en allemaal begrijp gaat LPV, met Largo als leverancier een beleggingsfonds opzetten, dat een beetje te vergelijken is met een beleggingsfonds in fysiek goud, maar dan in Vanadium. Denk je dat dit nog enig effect zou kunnen hebben op AMG? Want ik heb begrepen, dat AMG in Brazilië o.a. bezig is met het opkopen van kleinere mijnen, teneinde haar productiecapaciteit extra uit te breiden. En Largo zal daar ook niet stilzitten, neem ik aan. Zou er ook nog sprake kunnen zijn van enige samenwerking of overname door Largo van delen van AMG in Brazilië in de toekomst?
Graag jouw visie hierover. Bedankt alvast.

Largo Identifies Significant Platinum-Palladium Grades from Sampling of the Non-Magnetic Tailings Ponds at its Maracás Menchen Mine; Commences Further Analysis of Platinum Group Metals as Part of its Ongoing Exploration Program

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Largo Inc. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (NASDAQ: LGO) today announces it has identified significant platinum group metals (“PGMs”) grades in its non-magnetic tailings ponds and ilmenite stockpile from ongoing exploration work at its Maracás Menchen Mine, including a total of 28 vertical auger drill holes and 83 samples. The Company has also initiated a review of its past geology and assay database to establish the existence of PGMs in deposits surrounding its Campbell Pit.

Daniel Tellechea, Director and Interim CEO of Largo, stated: “Preliminary analysis of the Company’s non-magnetic tailings pond and ilmenite stockpile has returned significant PGM grades, prompting our team to plan for an additional drill program to enhance our knowledge of grade distribution within the non-magnetic tailings ponds. Simultaneously, our team is performing a database review, relogging, and re-assay program of past exploration work related to PGMs, alongside a focused drilling initiative to gain a deeper understanding of PGM grade distribution in deposits north and south of the Campbell Pit, where past exploration efforts have demonstrated various grades of PGMs.”

He continued: “In 2014, Largo contracted Société Générale de Surveillance SA. (SGS) to conduct metallurgical and PGM flotation tests on the massive vanadium ore at the Maracás Menchen Mine with encouraging results. The major significance of today's announcement is that higher grades of PGMs could be associated with the Company’s non-magnetic material rather than massive vanadium ore, as previously thought. We plan to conduct further studies to evaluate the potential to recover PGMs as an additional by-product of Largo’s vanadium and ilmenite operations following the completion of our ilmenite concentrate plant. We anticipate providing updates on this initiative and other exploration progress as our efforts continue going forward.”

Non-Magnetic Tailings Pond Auger Drill Hole Highlights

BN3TR15: 3.0 metres grading 0.410g Pt/t and 0.209g Pd/t and 0.07g Au/t totalling 0.687g PGM equivalent (“PGM eq.”)
BN2TR1: 4.3 metres grading 0.321g Pt/t and 0.118g Pd/t and 0.04g Au/t totalling 0.480g PGM eq.
