Largo Inc T.LGO

Alternate Symbol(s):  LGO

Largo Inc. is a Canada-based producer and supplier of vanadium products. The Company’s segments include sales & trading, mine properties, corporate, exploration and evaluation properties (E&E properties), Largo Clean Energy and Largo Physical Vanadium. Its VPURE and VPURE+ products, which are sourced from one of the vanadium deposits at the Company's Maracas Menchen Mine in Brazil. The Company is also focused on the advancement of renewable energy storage solutions through Largo Clean Energy and its vanadium redox flow battery technology (VRFB). The Company is also engaged in the process of implementing a titanium dioxide pigment plant using feedstock sourced from its existing operations, in addition to advancing its United States-based clean energy division with its VCHARGE vanadium batteries. VPURE+ Flakes are used in the production of master alloys, where it provides high strength-to-weight ratios for the titanium alloy and aerospace industries.

BDIY up - good for raw resources

BDIY up - good for raw resourcesThe baltic dry index has moved up each day for the past seven days - raw materials are moving from supplier to buyer/producer. This bodes well for recovery in manufacturing/building final materials including steel and other goods.

BDIY From a low of 663 on Dec 5/08 to 2214 on May 8/09 - May 8/08

CONCLUSIONS

With high energy efficiencies of over 80% and a cycle life of greater than 16,000 cycles, the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery that was pioneered at the University of New South Wales has been shown to be superior to any other battery system currently available. Commercial installations have already been completed in several parts of the world for a range of stationary applications and full-scale manufacture has begun in Japan.

The unique feature of “instant recharge” by mechanical refuelling, also allows many benefits and much greater flexibility for electric vehicle applications so that market acceptance can be more readily achieved. VRB users would thus have the convenience of being able to either recharge their vehicles at home at night, or refuel any time of the day, the same way that they currently fill their tanks with gasoline or petrol. Unlike petrol, however, the vanadium solutions are never consumed, but can be recharged indefinitely. The spent solutions could thus be stored at the refuelling stations for recharging at night with off-peak electricity. The VRB recharging stations would thereby act as load-levelling systems, so that the need to build extra power stations to meet the increased power demand from electric vehicle charging would be deferred.

The current energy density of the VRB would permit its use in buses and a range of off-road vehicles where mechanical refueling would allow 24 hour use. Further improvements in energy density, however, should also see the VRB gaining acceptance for electric passenger vehicles in the not-too-distant future.

Future looks bright for vanadium. This deposit has such a quick payback of costs it is only a matter of time before it is bought out.

Other TSXV companies with vanadium FWR, ADI, APA. Early stage for all.

Still hanging in. As this management has already proven up and sold a resource property I believe that they know what they are doing. Many companies, economists, analysts, etc. were caught by the fast downturn in the markets.
Now the quick upturn. Both down and up setting records. At some point the economies will pick up and the resources will be what is in demand. Companies can not make profits for their shareholders if they are not buying the raw material and producing and selling. Green is in and vanadium power is green.

The time will come when we will smile.
