Ivanhoe Electric Announces Application of Latest Computational

Geosciences Inc. Software at Tintic Copper-Gold-Silver Project in

Utah

Recent Advancements in CGI’s Machine Learning-based Software

Improve Quality and Speed of Typhoon™ Data Processing

Updated Interpretation of Typhoon™ Survey Data at Tintic Resulted

in Refined Drill Targets

Ivanhoe Electric and CGI Are Utilizing the Latest Software in Recent

U.S. Surveys and in the Company’s Saudi Arabian Exploration Joint

Venture with Ma’aden

PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (“Ivanhoe Electric”) (NYSE American: IE;

TSX: IE) and its subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), are pleased to

provide an update on CGI’s proprietary software applications used to interpret

Typhoon™ data. CGI continually improves its proprietary algorithms, leveraging

advanced machine learning data processing technologies, to deliver higher quality

Typhoon™ geophysical inversion models with quicker turnaround times. Ivanhoe

Electric owns 94% of CGI.

Taylor Melvin, President and CEO, commented: “We believe Computational

Geosciences has the mining industry’s most powerful machine learning software

application available. CGI’s proprietary algorithms are capable of analyzing the massive

amounts of data generated by our ground-based Typhoon™ geophysical surveying

system. We are excited to apply the same cutting-edge version of CGI’s software at

Tintic that we are currently using in Saudi Arabia and at our other more recent American

exploration projects. CGI’s latest software improvements allow us to analyze more data,

more quickly, and generate clearer models to guide future discovery. We are now

beginning to test the refined targets around the historically productive Mammoth

copper-gold-silver mine at Tintic, Utah, with directional drilling equipment.”

CGI’s latest software tools improves processing of Typhoon™ data

Through continuous research and development, CGI’s innovations harnesses the power

of machine learning algorithms to improve data processing capacity, processing times,

and to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of input data through improved data utilization.

This effort has led to faster inversion model delivery times and improved three-

dimensional inversion models. CGI continues to lead the transformation of geophysical

data processing and three-dimensional inversion.

Updated Typhoon™ inversion modeling improves processing time,

validates exploration targets, and supports continued mineral exploration

CGI recently reprocessed the 2019 Tintic Typhoon™ data, delivering an updated three-

dimensional model that validated Ivanhoe Electric’s current exploration strategy by

ratifying existing target areas and identifying new anomalies for further investigation.

The new inversion shows an additional chargeable and conductive response that is

associated with the deepest levels of the Mammoth and Grand Central Mines, and

extends to depth. Ivanhoe Electric is actively exploring the Deep Mammoth area with

diamond drilling.

CGI’s latest processing technologies are being applied at Ivanhoe Electric’s 50/50 joint

venture with Ma’aden in Saudi Arabia, and at Ivanhoe Electric’s other surveys in the

United States. Typhoon™ data from the Umm Ash Shalahib exploration licenses as

announced January 9, 2024, that identified three chargeability anomalies that correlate

very well with known geology and mineralization, representing high priority targets.

In the U.S., Ivanhoe Electric recently conducted a ~10km2 Typhoon™ survey at its Hog

Heaven project in Montana, announced February 22, 2024. CGI completed the inversion

utilizing its advanced machine learning algorithms. Ongoing exploration drilling

continues to intersect high-sulfidation epithermal precious-metals-rich polymetallic

mineralization relating to Typhoon™ anomalies. The updated inversion model validates

Ivanhoe Electric’s past exploration results and presents new targets for subsequent

follow-up.

Ivanhoe Electric will be holding regular site tours throughout the spring and summer

months, please contact our Senior Vice President of Exploration, Graham Boyd, to

arrange.

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.
