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 TyphoonTM 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,
2
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.
