**Largo Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Operational and Sales Results; Provides 2023 Guidance** 

All amounts expressed are in U.S. dollars, denominated by "$".

**Q4 and FY 2022 Highlights** 

* **Quarterly V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **production of 2,004 tonnes (4.4 million lbs**<sup>**1**</sup>**) in Q4 2022 vs. 2,003 tonnes in Q4 2021; Annual V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **production of 10,436 tonnes (23.0 million lbs**<sup>**1**</sup>**) in 2022 vs. 10,319 tonnes in 2021** 

* **Quarterly global V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **recovery of 74.7% in Q4 2022 vs. 76.0% in Q4 2021; Annual global V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **recovery of 79.1% in 2022 vs. 79.7% in 2021**

* **V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **production in Q4 2022 was largely impacted by a lower quantity of mined material available due in part to the Company's mining contractor transition in September 2022; As a result, the low availability of mined material stockpiles was insufficient to effectively mitigate the impacts of corrective maintenance in November 2022 and heavy rain in December 2022 at Maracás Menchen Mine**

* **Quarterly sales of 2,774 tonnes of V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **equivalent (inclusive of 118 tonnes of purchased material) in Q4 2022 vs. 2,899 tonnes in Q4 2021; Annual V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **equivalent sales of 11,091 (inclusive of 1,057 tonnes of purchased material) tonnes in 2022 vs. 11,393 tonnes in 2021 and within sales guidance of 11,000 - 12,000 tonnes**

* **In Q4 2022, vanadium demand remained steady in the steel and chemical sectors, while the aerospace and vanadium redox flow battery ("VRFB") sectors saw considerable growth; In Europe, average V<sub>2</sub>** **O<sub>5</sub>** **prices increased approximately 18% to $9.44 per lb at the end of the quarter, and have risen to $10.08 as of January 20, 2023**

* **Largo Clean Energy ("LCE") and Ansaldo Green Tech ("Ansaldo") continued their negotiations to form a joint venture for the manufacture and commercial deployment of vanadium redox flow batteries ("VRFB") in the European, African and Middle East power generation markets; The exclusivity agreement between LCE and Ansaldo in accordance with the previously announced non-binding MOU has been extended to March 31, 2023 to allow for the completion of ongoing negotiations**

* **The Company progressed with the construction of its ilmenite concentration plant at its Maracás Menchen Mine in Q4 2022; Received all required flotation structures and is finalizing the building of its desliming, flotation, filtration, warehouse and pipe rack structures; Commissioning to be completed in Q2 2023**

* **The Company received 'Company of the Year in the Mineral Sector' for its work in Social Governance from Brasil Mineral magazine and 'Company of the Year' from Companhia Baiana de Pesquisa Mineral ("CBPM"); These recognitions are the result of the Company's dedication to executing on our on going Environment, Social and Governance ("ESG") initiatives with the goal of progressing sustainable development at Largo**

**TORONTO** - Largo Inc. ("**Largo**" or the "**Company**") (**TSX: LGO**) (**NASDAQ: LGO**) today announces annual production of 10,436 tonnes (23.0 million lbs<sup>1</sup>) of vanadium pentoxide ("V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>") equivalent and sales of 11,091 tonnes of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> equivalent from its Maracás Menchen Mine in 2022.

<br>**Q4, FY 2022 and Other Highlights**

* **Quarterly Operational Results Impacted by a Mining Contractor Change, Mine Sequencing and Heavy Rainfall**: In Q4 2022, V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> production from the Maracás Menchen Mine of 2,004 tonnes was in line with the 2,003 tonnes produced in Q4 2021. As a result of the Company's mining contractor transition and corrective maintenance at the leaching and deammoniator areas, 804 tonnes of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> were produced in October 2022. Production of 605 tonnes in November 2022 was affected by changes in mining sequence and 596 tonnes in December 2022 was affected by heavy rains at the Company's operations. Annual V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> production was 10,436 tonnes in 2022, being largely in line with the 10,319 tonnes produced in 2021. Lower annual production was due to preventative and corrective maintenance at Company's plant facility in Maracás in Q1 2022, a planned kiln and cooler refractory refurbishment in Q3 2022 and heavy rainfall in December. In Q4 2022, global recoveries<sup>3</sup> averaged 74.7% as compared to the 76.0% averaged in Q4 2021. The Company achieved an annual average global V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> recovery<sup>3</sup> rate of 79.1% in 2022. The Company mined 1,359,927 tonnes of ore with an effective V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> grade<sup>2</sup> of 1.11% in 2022 compared to 1,248,967 tonnes with an effective V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> grade<sup>2</sup> of 1.12% in 2021. The impact on the Company's global recovery<sup>3</sup> and mined ore in 2022 is primarily due to the reasons mentioned above.

![](exhibit99-1x001.jpg)

* **Rainfall Impact and Mitigation Efforts - Impacts to January 2023 Production and Sales Expected:** Despite rain-related mitigation efforts implemented at the end of 2021, the Company's Maracás Menchen Mine experienced approximately 36% more rainfall in December 2022 compared to December 2021, and more than 76% more rainfall on a single day during the same comparative month. This resulted in approximately 16 days of operational downtime in December 2022 and January 2023, during which time the Company performed preventative maintenance measure such as kiln refractory and electrostatic precipitator ("ESP") repairs, previously planned for February 2023. In 2021, the Company constructed a diversion channel surrounding the Campbell Pit and upgraded its pumping system capacity to mitigate rainwater accumulation inside the pit. In December 2022, the diversion channel successfully mitigated rain from entering the pit downstream, however, unexpected levels of heavy rainfall caused significant rainfall accumulation inside the pit. The Company plans to further upgrade its pumping system capacity and expects to build additional mined material stockpiles in 2023 to mitigate impacts to mining operations going forward. As a result of these rain-related impacts in December 2022 and January 2023, the Company expects Q1 2023 production and sales ranges of 1,900 - 2,200 tonnes and 2,300 - 2,500 tonnes, respectively.

* **Annual Sales Results Within Guidance - Vanadium Prices Reflect Increase in Demand:** In Q4 2022, V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> equivalent sales were 2,774 tonnes (inclusive of 118 tonnes of purchased material), representing a 4% decrease over Q4 2021. Total V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> equivalent sales were 11,091 tonnes (inclusive of 1,057 tonnes of purchased material) in 2022, representing a 3% decrease over 2021. Lower sales in Q4 were impacted by the effects of lower production. Stronger vanadium prices exiting the quarter reflected an increase in demand from the high purity aerospace sector and continued growth in VRFB deployments, particularly in China. The average benchmark price per lb of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in Europe was $9.44 exiting the quarter, representing an increase of approximately 20% from the lows of 2022. As of January 20, 2023, the benchmark price per lb of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in Europe was $10.08.

* **Inaugural VRFB Deployment Progress**: During Q4 2022, LCE continued to make additional progress on the delivery of the Enel Green Power España ("EGPE") contract. Substantially all of the hardware is either in transit or ready for installation at the deployment site in Spain. The remaining items to be shipped are six of the twelve electrolyte storage containers, which will be shipped in February 2023 and installed in March 2023. Additionally, the Company expects the installation and interconnection of the AC and DC power systems to be completed in Q1 2023. The hot commissioning of the VRFB system as well as provisional acceptance, which requires the completion of as-build drawings, manuals, final punch-list items, and operational testing by EGPE is expected to be completed in Q2 2023. 

* **New Debt Facilities Secured in Brazil:** In December 2022, the Company secured an additional debt facility of $20.0 million with a bank in Brazil. The facility is for three years, with a 360-day grace period and equal principal repayments due every six months until maturity following the grace period. In addition to a fee of 0.7%, accrued interest at a rate of 8.20% p.a. is to be paid every six months until maturity. In January 2023, the Company secured two additional debt facilities with banks in Brazil. The first facility of $15.0 million is for two years, with a 180-day grace period and equal principal repayments due every three months until maturity following the grace period. In addition, accrued interest at a rate of 6.85% p.a. is to be paid every three months. The second facility of $10.0 million is for three years, with a 360-day grace period and equal principal repayments due every six months until maturity following the grace period. In addition to a fee of 0.7%, accrued interest at a rate of 8.36% p.a. is to be paid every six months. A portion of the December 2022 debt facility was used in December 2022 to repay the Company's existing $15.0 million debt facility secured in April 2022 and due for repayment in April 2023, with the remaining debt facilities primarily being used to address working capital pressures caused by ongoing capex projects in the first six months of 2023.

**2023 Production, Sales and Cost Guidance**

Tables summarizing the Company's 2023 production, sales and cost guidance is provided below. It is expected that the Company will incur higher cash operating costs excluding royalties<sup>4</sup> in the first half of 2023 as a result of lower sales in H1 2023, a result of previously noted rain-related operational impacts in Q4 2022 and Q1 2023. In H1 2023, the Company anticipates cash operating costs excluding royalties<sup>4</sup> to be above the average cost guidance provided for 2023 with H2 2023 being closer to the lower end.

***Future Oriented Financial Information:***

*Any financial outlook or future oriented financial information contained in this press release, as such term is defined by applicable securities laws, has been approved by management of Largo as of the date hereof and is provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the Company's 2023 guidance. Readers are cautioned that any such future oriented financial information contained herein should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is disclosed herein. The Company and its management believe that the prospective financial information as to the Company's anticipated 2023 guidance has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments.

***Non-GAAP***<sup>***5***</sup>***Measures***

*The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in this press release, which are described in the following section.*

***Cash Operating Costs***

*The Company's press release refers to cash operating costs per pound, a non-GAAP performance measure, in order to provide investors with information about a key measure used by management to monitor performance. This information is used to assess how well the Maracás Menchen Mine is performing compared to plan and prior periods, and also to assess its overall effectiveness and efficiency. Cash operating costs includes mine site operating costs such as mining costs, plant and maintenance costs, sustainability costs, mine and plant administration costs, royalties and sales, general and administrative costs (all for the Mine properties segment), but excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based payments, foreign exchange gains or losses, commissions, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation costs. Operating costs not attributable to the Mine properties segment are also excluded, including conversion costs, product acquisition costs, distribution costs and inventory write-downs. These costs are then divided by the pounds of vanadium sold that were produced by the Maracás Menchen Mine to arrive at the cash operating costs per pound. This measure differs to the new total cash costs non-GAAP measure the Company uses to measure its overall performance (see Company's latest Management Discussion and Analysis). These measures, along with revenues, are considered to be one of the key indicators of the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its Maracás Menchen Mine. These cash operating costs measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and differ from measures determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.*
