Largo Resources Provides Update Regarding National Truckers' Strike in Brazil
TORONTO – Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (OTCQX: LGORF) reports that
operations at its Maracás Menchen Mine have been minimally impacted by the national truckers' strike in Brazil
which was settled as of May 30, 2018. Production is scheduled to restart as early as May 31, 2018. Until rec ently,
the Company had been able to utilize its supplies of consumables and various intermediary stockpiles that it
had accumulated at the Maracás Menchen Mine to enable it to continue operations. However, the national
truckers' strike resulted in the Company temporarily suspending production for four days.
Largo has used the downtime to complete mai ntenance across the plant, including replacing the flaking wheel,
assessing the furnace refractory, changing the de‐ammoniator wires in the fusion section and completing minor
repairs to the kiln and cooler refractory.
To date, there has been no material financial impact as a result of the strike. Fu rther updates to the market will
be provided upon any material development.
