Paulo Misk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Largo, stated: “Our first sale of iron ore was a key step in validating the commercial viability of this material. This sale also highlights the added benefits of our newly established internal sales division and capitalizes on the higher iron ore price environment. He continued: “It is also a diversification of sources of revenue for the Company as up until now, 100% of the Company’s revenues have been derived from the sale of vanadium products. Material mined from the Maracás Menchen Mine contains vanadium, iron ore and titanium.
