About Ivanhoe Mines

Ivanhoe Mines is a Canadian mining company focused on advancing its three principal

joint-venture projects in Southern Africa: the development of major new, mechanized,

underground mines at the Kamoa-Kakula copper discoveries in the DRC and at the

Platreef palladium-platinum-nickel-copper-rhodium-gold discovery in South Africa; and

the extensive redevelopment and upgrading of the historic Kipushi zinc-copper-

germanium-silver mine, also in the DRC.

Kamoa-Kakula is expected to begin producing copper in late May or early June 2021

and, through phased expansions, is positioned to become one of the world's largest

copper producers. Kamoa-Kakula and Kipushi will be powered by clean, renewable

hydro-generated electricity and will be among the world’s lowest greenhouse gas

emitters per unit of metal produced. Ivanhoe also is exploring for new copper

discoveries on its wholly-owned Western Foreland exploration licences in the DRC,

near the Kamoa-Kakula Project.
