Ivanhoe Mines responds to media reports on trucking strike in the
Democratic Republic of Congo
KOLWEZI, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO – Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; OTCQX:
IVPAF) is responding today to media reports pertaining to the status of trucking
shipments in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in relation to a third-party labour
dispute.
Operations at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex have continued as normal, and as of
November 9, major shipments took place from the mine gate, with further shipments
taking place today and onwards. Ivanhoe Mines’ management is working proactively
with the DRC government and local authorities to mitigate any potential interim effects
on outbound shipping, but does not anticipate any material impact on Kamoa-Kakula's
operations.
