/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd. (TSXV:LGO) ("Largo" or the "Company") announced today a C$17 million non-brokered private placement of common shares (the "Offering") at a price of C$0.20 per common share resulting in the issuance of up to 85,000,000 common shares. Proceeds from the offering will be used for the Company's Maracás Vanadium Project and general corporate purposes.

The Company anticipates that approximately C$15 million of the Offering, or up to 75,000,000 common shares, will be purchased by funds managed by Arias Resource Capital Management LP (the "ARC Funds"). Largo anticipates that the remaining C$2 million of the Offering will be purchased by existing shareholders of the Company.

The ARC Funds are insiders of the Company by virtue of their current ownership of approximately 19.98% of the Company's common shares. Assuming the Offering is fully sold, it is expected that after completion of the Offering, the ARC Funds will own up to 25.89% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common shares (or 28.48% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common shares in the event that the ARC Funds exercise all of the convertible securities held by them). Accordingly, the ARC Funds will be a "Control Person" of the Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual. At the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on June 27, 2013, the shareholders of the Company approved the creation of the ARC Funds as a Control Person of the Company, all as more fully set out in Largo's management information circular dated May 23, 2013 and filed on www.SEDAR.com.

The Offering is expected to close on or about December 11, 2013 and is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including but not limited to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All common shares of the Company issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period in Canada of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The Offering was considered and approved by the board of directors of the Company. J. Alberto Arias, a director of Largo who is also the sole director of each of the general partners of the ARC Funds and indirectly controls Arias Resource Capital Management LP, declared a conflict and recused himself from voting on the Offering. There was no materially contrary view or abstention by any director approving the Offering.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the proposed purchase by the ARC Funds will be a "related party transaction". The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities received by the ARC Funds nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The material change report is being filed less than 21 days before the closing of the Offering as the Company requires the consideration it will receive in connection with the Offering immediately for working capital purposes.
