Mark Brennan stated: “It has been my honor to work with the team at Largo to develop the Maracas project. Very few mining projects ever become producing mines, and it has also been a great honor for me to have led Largo through this incredible process.”He continued: “Although, we have accomplished much, there is still work to be done, and I am confident that Mr. Smith will successfully bring Largo through the next many great milestones that are to come. As an investor I will continue to follow Largo with great interest, and I will be providing ongoing support wherever needed during the coming weeks and months.”We would like to take this time to sincerely thank Mr. Brennan for his tremendous contributions to Largo, and to wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.There are now more ways than ever to connect with us - visit our Blog or follow us on either Facebook, Twitter and now on Instagram!
