TORONTO, April 27, 2015 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. ("Largo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a term sheet from its consortium of lenders ("Lenders") to defer its debt amortization schedule and extend the maturities for its construction debt facility ("BNDES Loan") and its export credit facilities (together, the "Facilities") for its Maracas Menchen Mine.

As described in a press release dated February 23, 2015, the restructuring package contemplated an additional one-year grace period on the amortization repayment schedules for the Facilities, a two-year extension of maturity for its export credit facilities and a three-year extension of maturity for the BNDES Loan.

The final restructuring package includes the following:

• An additional one-year grace period on the amortization schedules for the Facilities

• A two-year extension of maturity for its export credit facilities.

• A three-year extension of maturity for the US dollar component (as defined below) of the BNDES facility and no change in the maturity of the R$ component (as defined below) of the BNDES Loan.

The BNDES Loan is denominated in Brazilian reais (R$), but approximately 63% or CDN$111,497 (R$257,676) of the facility is indexed to the U.S. dollar ("U.S. dollar component"), while 37% of the facility is not indexed ("R$ component").

The signed term-sheet provided by Largo will now be submitted for final approval from each of the Lenders' credit committees and will be dependent on the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent by the Company prior to closing. Largo anticipates that the process will be concluded prior to the commencement of the existing amortization period for its Facilities.

Mark Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer for Largo, stated: "We are extremely pleased with the significant advancements we have made in discussions with our Lenders and believe that the signing of the term sheet by Largo is a strong indication that the terms set forth are largely as anticipated and are agreeable to the Company. We remain confident that a finalized agreement will be reached in the very near term."

He continued: "In addition to the strides we have made with regard to restructuring our Facilities, we are further encouraged by the positive trend we are seeing in our production performance at the Maracas Menchen Mine."

Appointment of Mark Smith to Board of Directors:

Additionally, Largo announces the appointment of Mr. Mark Smith, who is already serving as Largo's President and Chief Executive Officer to the Company, to its Board of Directors.

About Largo

Largo (TSX-V: LGO) is a growing strategic mineral company focused on continuing to ramp-up production at its Vanadio de Maracás Menchen Mine.

Largo's Maracás Menchen Mine boasts the highest grade vanadium deposit yet discovered and is expected to be a low cost producer. With an off-take in place with Glencore, Largo is well positioned to become a leading producer of vanadium globally and is expected to generate substantial cash-flows.

Vanadium is primarily used as an alloy to strengthen steel and reduce its weight. Vanadium enhanced steels are used in a vast and growing range of products that are used and encountered every day; including, rebar, automobiles, transport infrastructure etc. With a compound annual growth rate of over 6% for the past several years (Roskill, 2013), vanadium is a bourgeoning commodity which lacks opportunities for investment in the wider market place. As trends in the steel industry now demand increasingly stronger and lighter products for advanced applications, the use of vanadium is expected to continue this growth over the medium and long term.

Largo also has interests in a portfolio of other projects, including: a 100% interest in the Currais Novos Tungsten Tailings Project in Brazil; a 100% interest in the Campo Alegre de Lourdes Iron-Vanadium Project in Brazil; and a 100% interest in the Northern Dancer Tungsten-Molybdenum property in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Largo is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LGO".
