V<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub> production from the Marac\u00e1s Menchen Mine was 676 tonnes in April, 945 tonnes in May and 1,018 tonnes in June for a total of 2,639 tonnes produced in Q2 2023. In addition to certain mining performance and crushing process improvements made during the quarter, the Company also completed its 2023 infill drilling campaign in Q2 2023, resulting in a further refinement of the Company&#8217;s short-term mining model. In Q2 2023, global recoveries<sup>3<\/sup> averaged 81.0%, largely in line with 81.8% averaged in Q2 2022. The Company mined 489,892 tonnes of ore with an effective V<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub> grade<sup>2<\/sup> of 0.86% in Q2 2023 compared to 378,273 tonnes with an effective V<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub> grade<sup>2<\/sup> of 1.18% in Q2 2022 and 341,967 tonnes with an effective V<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub> grade<sup>2<\/sup> of 0.81% in Q1 2023, demonstrating a significant improvement in total ore mined over the prior quarter and prior comparative quarter. The increase in total ore mined as well as increased crushed and milled ore is a direct result of the Company\u2019s strategy to successfully recover delays caused by the previously announced mine contractor transition in September 2022 and heavy rains experienced in December 2022.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Mine Site Cost Reduction Measures:<\/b> The Company continues to focus on identifying and implementing various cost reduction measures at its Marac\u00e1s Menchen Mine during the current period of sustained inflationary pressures. In addition to upgrading its crushing process to reduce operational maintenance costs, the Company has identified several other areas for cost reduction and is in the process of implementing the following initiatives: a reduction in sodium carbonate and other raw materials expenditures, a reduction of mining costs, with a primary focus on reducing rehandling activities and implementing an optimization of haulage distance and a reduction of equipment rental expenditures. The Company expects to begin realizing the benefits of these cost reduction measures in Q3 2023.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>2023 and 2024 Infill Drilling Campaigns:<\/b> The Company has completed its 2023 infill drilling campaign and has completed approximately 90% of its 2024 infill drilling campaign. Data generated from infill drilling is expected to create greater accuracy and reliability of the short-and mid-term mining plan for the Marac\u00e1s Menchen Mine. Going forward, the Company plans to conduct infill drilling on a bi-annual basis to create greater certainty and efficiency in its planning process. Largo expects that a consistent infill drilling campaign should assist the Company in improving the reliability and accuracy of its production guidance on a go forward basis.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Q2 2023 Sales In Line with Quarterly Target \u2013 Focus on High Purity Vanadium Demand:<\/b> In Q2 2023, V<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub> equivalent sales of 2,557 tonnes (which includes 289 tonnes of purchase material sold) were in line with expectations for the quarter but represented a 22% decrease in tonnes sold over Q2 2022. In Q2 2023, the Company continued to experience strong aerospace demand for its products and focused on selling its high purity vanadium units to this market. The Company produced approximately 36% of its quarterly production as high purity in Q2 2023.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Cold Commissioning of Enel Green Power Espa\u00f1a VRFB Completed:<\/b> During Q2 2023, LCE finalized the pumping of electrolyte for EGPE\u2019s VCHARGE VRFB deployment and completed cold commissioning of the system in June. The battery system was also successfully interconnected with the grid and the system inverter was successfully utilized to form the chemistry in Q2 2023. The battery is currently performing charge-discharge cycles as part of the ongoing hot commissioning phase, which is anticipated to be completed in Q3 2023, along with provisional acceptance of the system by EGPE.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Appointment of Francesco D\u2019Alessio as President of LCE:<\/b> Mr. D&#8217;Alessio has over 15 years of experience in metals sales and trading, including overseeing sales and shipment of vanadium, as well as more recent experience in clean energy storage sales. Over the last three years, he has been actively involved in the overall sales strategy at Largo, contributing to the Company&#8217;s ongoing initiatives in the energy storage sector.

Aiming to enhance value creation at Largo, the Company is in the process of implementing a ilmenite concentrate plant using feedstock sourced from its existing operations in addition to advancing its U.S.-based clean energy division with its VCHARGE vanadium batteries. Largo\u2019s VCHARGE vanadium batteries contain a variety of innovations, enabling an efficient, safe and ESG-aligned long duration solution that is fully recyclable at the end of its 25+ year lifespan. Producing some of the world\u2019s highest quality vanadium, Largo\u2019s strategic business plan is based on two pillars: 1.) leading vanadium supplier with an outlined growth plan and 2.)
