TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 14, 2011) - Largo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:LGO) is pleased to announce that it has negotiated a formal extension of the term during which it can purchase the remaining 30% interest it does not already own at the Northern Dancer Tungsten-Molybdenum deposit in the Yukon Territory until May 15, 2011 (See press releases March 24, 2010 and March 26, 2009). Largo currently holds a 70% interest in the Northern Dancer project.


Terms of the option require Largo to pay Strategic Metals Ltd. US$5 million for the final 30% interest in the Northern Dancer project. Largo intends to use funds that it anticipates will be accumulated through the exercise of warrants and options that expire in early May to make this payment.


Mark Brennan, President and CEO, commented: "Finalizing the acquisition of the remaining 30% option on the Northern Dancer property is an important next step in Largo's goals for the project. Following our recent announcement of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment on the project, we look forward to completing the transaction and furthering the development of this world-class tungsten and molybdenum asset."
