Ivanhoe Mines issues its initial corporate Sustainability Report
VANCOUVER, CANADA – Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; OTCQX: IVPAF) announced today that the
company has issued its initial Sustainability Report.
The report provides an overview of Ivanhoe Mines’ sustainability programs and initiatives conducted in
2017, highlighting the significant accomplishments achieved and the new goals set for current and
future corporate activities.
The Ivanhoe Mines Sustainability Report 2017 has been filed on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com and on the Ivanhoe Mines website at www.ivanhoemines.com.
“The leadership of Ivanhoe Mines is committed to leveraging our role as a leading Canadian mining
exploration and development company to support our stakeholders, guide responsible choices, engage
in sustainable best practices and build modern, safe, mechanized mines that will employ a new
generation of highly-skilled employees,” said Executive Chairman Robert Friedland.
“The past 20 years have seen Ivanhoe teams make two of the world’s best mineral discoveries in
Southern Africa and acquire a third, equally compelling mine development and upgrading project. While
we continue to explore for another tier-one mineral discovery, we are focused on the responsible
development of our three projects into outstanding mines that will have minimal impact on the
environment and help to advance local communities.”
In his introduction to the report, President and Chief Executive Officer Lars-Eric Johansson notes that
the new report outlines how Ivanhoe works with its partners, host communities and employees to
achieve sustainability objectives.
“We operate under clear, value-based principles of excellence, personal accountability, integrity and
social and environmental responsibility. Working with our employees, contractors and the people of the
communities in which we operate, we strive to build strong and lasting relationships to address
stakeholders’ interests, employ leading-edge technology, improve safety practices and minimize our
impact on the environment.”
