It is one of the only three large-scale Vanadium producers in the world. In addition, the company also explores and mines Iron, Tungsten, Molybdenum Palladium and Platinum.

Record Production Results

The announcement of record production results in successive quarters is one of the reasons why Largo Resources has exploded in the market. The stock has emerged an exciting pick for investors looking to gain exposure to the company’s profitable vanadium mining operations.For starters, the company is fresh from announcing record quarterly production of Vanadium Pentoxide at its Maracas Menchen Mine. Production in Q3 was up by 4% compared to Q2, allowing the company to record 2,563 tons of V205. Q3 marked the third consecutive quarter of strong production.

“With 7,235 tons of V2O5 produced so far this year, the Company is well positioned to achieve the upper end of its increased and revised 2018 guidance range of 9,150 to 10,150 tons of V2O5 produced for the full year,” said Mr. Mark Smith, Largo Resources Chief Executive Officer.

Growing Cash flows

In September, Largo Resources exercised early redemption right and consequently repaid $15 million of its 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due in 2021. The early redemption once again underlined the company’s commitment to prioritizing debt repayments as part of an effort to improve capital structure and reduce interest costs.
