Toronto-based vanadium producer Largo Resources said on Wednesday it has reached a new Q3 vanadium pentoxide (V205) production record out of its Maracás mine in Bahia state, Brazil.
The company said V205 output was 2,563 mt in Q3, up from 2,513 mt in Q3 2017, and 2,458 mt in Q2 this year.
Additionally, the company reported that it has appointed Paulo Misk as CEO at Largo. Misk has over 30 years' experience in operational management at mining facilities for various large multi-national mining companies across a wide range of commodities, including niobium, iron, among other products. Prior to joining Largo, Misk ran Anglo American's Catalão Project from 2011 to 2014 where he was promoted to head of niobium operations after serving as niobium general manager for one year.
