Largo starts copper-PGM concentrate production at Brazil Maracás Menchen mine after ANM approval
LGO•Copper-PGM production begins after ANM approval
Largo began ramping up copper concentrate output with platinum group metals at its Maracás Menchen mine in Bahia following ANM clearance.
The move adds copper-PGM sales to existing vanadium operations, targeting higher margins than ilmenite concentrate using the current flotation circuit.
Ilmenite output paused as commercial talks start
Ilmenite concentrate production was temporarily suspended to prioritize copper-PGM volumes; options to recover ilmenite from tailings are under review.
Commercial talks started with smelters and traders for an initial shipment; production and sales guidance is due with results on Aug. 14, 2026.
