TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 3, 2008) - Largo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LGO.V) would like to inform shareholders that it intends to make the US$5 million milestone payment on the Maracas vanadium project (Brazil) but due to financial market conditions it will opt to take advantage of a 30 day cure period clause in the definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement. In consideration for making the US$5 million payment, Largo is entitled to receive an additional 35% interest in the Maracas property, which will bring its total interest to 80% of the project. Largo intends to use the cure period to try to secure funding on more favorable terms. The milestone payment was scheduled to be made by November 1, 2008.
