Largo Signs Definitive Agreement for US$56 Million
Sale of Iron Ore Calcine as Previously Announced
All dollar amounts expressed are in U.S. dollars.
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 20, 2026--Largo Inc. ("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO)
(NASDAQ: LGO), the world’s largest primary vanadium producer, is pleased to announce that its Brazilian
operating subsidiary has signed the definitive agreement for the sale of up to 4.5 million tonnes of iron ore
calcine material stockpile previously announced on January 5, 2026.
The agreement provides for a multi-year Ex Works (EXW) contract under Incoterms with total expected cash
proceeds in excess of US$56 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the first payment of US$2.9 million is
due by January 30, 2026, followed by a second payment of US$1.9 million due by February 16, 2026.
Thereafter, monthly payments of US$1.9 million are expected to commence in April 2026, subject to the terms
of the agreement.
The Company anticipates that the transaction will improve the near-term cash flow and reduce long-term
stockpile management costs and disposal requirements. Largo is maintaining a clear strategic focus on its core
vanadium business while unlocking value from a new stream of iron ore calcine byproduct. These byproduct
credits were not previously captured in the Company’s previous technical reports and help partially offset the
currently low vanadium prices.
