Determine 1: Campbell Pit and Northern District Targets (Graphic: Enterprise Wire)
Daniel Tellechea, Director and Interim CEO of Largo, said: “As part of its ongoing operations, Largo continues to undertake exploration work within the areas surrounding the Campbell Pit to each optimize present operations and plan for future growth and growth by way of the identification and conversion of assets. This exploration program goals to broaden our understanding of the mineralization surrounding the Campbell Pit in order that we might gauge the opportunity of continued mineralization north and south of the Campbell Pit. With evaluation of latest drilling and historic exploration work underway, we anticipate offering the market with updates as our program progresses.”
Exploration Program Overview
Largo is working to broaden its data and set up a correlation with the recognized mineralization intercepted to the north of the Campbell Pit the place, in 2021, mineral reserves and assets have been reported within the Firm’s present technical report on the Campbell Pit, Gulçari A Norte (” GAN “) and Novo Amparo Notre (” NAN “). Presently, the Firm is exploring the potential for a 7 km development of mineralization between the Campbell Pit and the satellite tv for pc deposits (from south to north); GAN, São José (” SJO “), Novo Amparo, and NAN (collectively, the ” Northern District “).
Moreover, the Firm can be working to know and set up a correlation with the recognized mineralization intercepted south of the Campbell Pit, which incorporates additional evaluation of exploration work carried out on satellite tv for pc deposits (from north to south): Gulçari A Sul, Agua Branca, Jacaré, Braga, Ilha Grande, and Rio de Contas (collectively, the ” Southern District “).
2023 Drill Program
In 2022 and 2023, the Firm carried out a drill program within the Northern District consisting of 19 drill holes and 245 floor samples, 148 infill holes within the Campbell Pit and 33 holes within the Southern District (the ” 2023 Marketing campaign “). The Firm can be performing a complete overview of its present exploration information within the Northern District, together with, with out limitation, 161 historic drill holes and 5,869 samples collected between 1981 and 2020.
The Firm’s 2023 Marketing campaign within the Northern District consists of 19 new diamond drill holes aimed toward bettering the Firm’s geological data of the Campbell Pit and GAN and SJO deposits. Of these holes, six step-out holes have been drilled between the Campbell Pit and GAN deposit with the purpose of confirming the potential for continued mineralization. The Firm believes the preliminary outcomes for the six step-out holes present better confidence within the continuity of mineralization between the Campbell and GAN mineralized zones. Assay outcomes from the six step-out drill holes are supplied in Desk 1, together with a plan view and cross-section of the drill holes in Determine 2 and three.
The Firm is within the means of analyzing its historic drill information and the remaining holes from its 2023 Marketing campaign with outcomes anticipated in Q1 2024.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures
Drill core is logged, photographed and cut up in half utilizing a diamond core noticed on the safe core logging and storage amenities of Largo Vanádio Maracás S.A. (” LVMSA “). Half of the drill core is retained on website and the opposite half core is used for evaluation, with samples collected on one meter pattern intervals except an interval crosses a geological contact.
The pattern preparation and analytical work was carried out on the SGS facility in Belo Horizonte and the LVMSA safe on-site laboratory, that are each ISO 9001 licensed laboratories. All pattern outcomes in the course of the interval have been monitored by way of a QA/QC program that features the insertion of licensed requirements, blanks, and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Davis Tube take a look at work was carried out on all mineralized samples.
