About Ivanhoe Mines

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

projects in Southern Africa: the major new, mechanized, underground mines at the Kamoa-

Kakula Mining Complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the development of the Platreef

palladium-rhodium-platinum-nickel-copper-gold discovery in South Africa; and the restart of the

historic Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine, also in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kamoa-Kakula Mining Complex is one of the highest grade and fastest growing major copper

mining operations in the world. Copper concentrates were first produced in May 2021 and,

through on-going phased expansions, it is positioned to become one of the world's largest

copper producing operations by Q4 2024. The Kamoa-Kakula Mining Complex is powered by

clean, renewable hydro-generated electricity and is among one of the world’s lowest

greenhouse gas emitters per tonne of copper metal produced. Ivanhoe Mines has pledged to

achieve net-zero operational greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) at the Kamoa-Kakula

Mining Complex.

Ivanhoe Mines is also exploring for new copper discoveries across its circa 2,400km2 of

wholly-owned exploration licences in the Western Foreland, which are located adjacent to the

Kamoa-Kakula Mining Complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
