Ivanhoe Electric provides an update on recent exploration activities
at its Tintic Copper-Gold Project in Utah
New analysis of historic drill core confirms high-grade
mineralization in the New Park “Reserves” area located below the
past-producing prolific Mammoth Mine
Evidence of increasing copper grades and chalcocite in core
samples indicate possible proximity to the porphyry source of Tintic
mineralization
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO – Ivanhoe Electric (NYSE American: IE; TSX: IE)
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Friedland and President Eric Finlayson are
pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activities at the Tintic Copper-Gold
Project in Utah.
As part of the targeting program underway ahead of the future exploration drill program,
Ivanhoe Electric has re-sampled drill core from a number of historic holes. Recent high-
grade re-assay results have continued to enhance the Company’s understanding of the
Tintic District and have shown that high-grade copper and precious metals
mineralization may be present nearby to existing historic underground mine
infrastructure.
Speaking at the Denver Gold Group – Gold Forum Americas today, Mr. Friedland
commented: “We continue to be astounded by the high-grade mineral potential of the
Tintic District. A lot of copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc ended up at Tintic, and it
certainly did not fall from the sky. These results from the New Park Reserves area
continue to demonstrate that the old-timers did not mine all of the high-grade copper,
gold and silver. In addition, these results provide further evidence of the presence of
one or more large-scale porphyry copper-gold deposits located at depth at Tintic.
“Using our proprietary high-powered Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system we
completed a 72 square kilometer three-dimensional induced polarization and resistivity
survey and imaged three large-scale anomalies – each comparable with the scale of the
nearby Bingham Canyon copper-gold mine. Bingham Canyon has milled more than 2.7
2
billion tonnes of copper and gold-bearing rocks and produced over 20 million tonnes of
refined copper metal and more than 28 million ounces of gold over the past 119 years.
“Our geologists continue to identify new features that support the thesis that one or
more of these Typhoon™ anomalies may be the porphyry targets that have produced all
of the copper and precious metals in the historic Tintic District. These anomalies are
located at depth from surface, meaning any potential mining operation at Tintic would
likely be an underground operation.”
New analysis of historic core reveals high-grade copper, gold and silver
mineralization
The Mammoth Mine was historically one of the most significant mines in the Tintic
District, and operated between the late 1890’s and the 1930’s. While much of its early
productive history went unrecorded, from 1901 onwards Mammoth is known to have
produced approximately 1,179,000 tonnes grading 9.7 g/t gold, 349 g/t silver, 1.42%
copper and 1.39% lead. Mining at the Mammoth Mine ceased as soon as the water table
was intersected at approximately the 2600 ft level, due to limitations with the pumping
technology available at the time.
Sulphide mineralization is known to continue below the existing workings around the
2400 ft and 2600 ft levels of the Mammoth Mine and is therefore a viable exploration
area, especially at depth where the mineralization-favorable Ophir Formation exists.
This exploration area, known as New Park “Reserves”, was partially mined with
crosscuts by Kennecott (now a division of Rio Tinto) and drilled in the 1960’s by the
New Park Mining Company (now called Newpark Resources, an oilfield services group).
Six sections from five New Park Mining Company drill holes were re-sampled by
Ivanhoe Electric: U-5, U-7, U-11, U-16 and U-21. Assay results are shown in Table 1
below.
The presence of enargite and pyrite in holes U-5, U-7 and U-11 immediately below both
the Mammoth “pipe” and water table indicates a continuation of the oxidized high
sulphidation mineralization mined historically into unoxidized sulphide-rich
mineralization. The appearance of chalcocite in hole U-21 shows potential for hypogene
copper enrichment replacing pyrite at higher temperatures within replacement-style
mineralization and may reflect increasing proximity to the source porphyry copper
system.

Mining Company (left: U-5 at 122 m, right: U-21 at 23 m) showing semi-massive
sulfides including chalcocite (almost 80% copper by weight), enargite (48%
copper by weight) and pyrite in quartz-barite altered limestone.

Mammoth deposit. Hole U-16 was not found in the historic maps and is not
shown.

Image showing the mineralized intervals in U-21 between the 2400 ft and 2600 ft
levels of the Mammoth Mine. High-grade gold, silver and copper mineralization
appears to be restricted to a high-angle structure (illustrated below by the red
outline) and is open below the 2600 ft level. There is also a possibility for manto-
style mineralization in the Ophir Formation that has not been tested.
