Ivanhoe Mines reports fatality at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper

Complex

KOLWEZI, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO – Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; OTCQX:

IVPAF) regrets to report that a fatal accident has occurred at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper

Complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

A fatal accident occurred underground at the Kakula mine when Mr. Mick Ilunga, a contractor

drill rig operator, was struck by a fall of ground. A second contractor drill rig operator is

receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. Kamoa Copper is undertaking a

comprehensive internal investigation into the accident and is working with the DRC authorities

to facilitate their investigation of the accident. Once the investigations are complete,

management will review and implement any additional safety measures recommended to

prevent such an accident from recurring.

On behalf of the Kamoa Copper Joint Venture, Ivanhoe Mines extends its deepest

condolences to the grieving family and friends of Mr. Ilunga.

Mining activities at the Kakula underground mine have temporarily ceased. The Phase 1 and 2

concentrators continue to operate, drawing from surface ore stockpiles.
