About the Future Minerals Forum
Convened by Saudi Arabia, the Future Minerals Forum (FMF) is a platform designed to
enable the creation of resilient mineral value chains in the vast resource-rich super
region of Africa, Western and Central Asia.
Saudi Arabia has all the right ingredients to become a world-class minerals value chain
hub for the region. Strategically located at the nexus of Asia, Africa and Europe, with
well-developed infrastructure and high domestic demand, the Kingdom has the vision
and commitment to develop its mining sector and offers a well-developed economy with
high levels of growth and security.
Comprising three main components, the Ministerial Roundtable, Conference, and
International Exhibition, the Future Minerals Forum serves as a platform where
government ministers, global mining CEOs and stakeholders from the region and all
over the world can come together and turn talk into action.
The inaugural FMF was held in January 2022, attracting more than 140 senior speakers
from all over the world. In 2023, FMF attracted 249 speakers who delved deeper into the
key issues facing the region and its minerals sector and identified areas for action. For

About Ivanhoe Electric
We are a U.S. company that combines advanced mineral exploration technologies with
electric metals exploration projects predominantly located in the United States. We use
our accurate and powerful Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system, together with
advanced data analytics provided by our subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc.,
to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process as we seek to discover new
deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration
technologies. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the
potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals. Our mineral exploration
efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, vanadium, cobalt,
platinum group elements, gold and silver. Through the advancement of our portfolio of
electric metals exploration projects, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in
Arizona and the Tintic Copper-Gold Project in Utah, as well as other exploration
projects in the United States, we intend to support United States supply chain
independence by finding and delivering the critical metals necessary for the
electrification of the economy. We also operate a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian
Mining Company Ma’aden to explore for minerals on ~48,500 km2 of underexplored
Arabian Shield in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Website: www.ivanhoeelectric.com.
