Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is expected to be issued on June 2,

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 Democratic Republic of Congo and at
the Platreef palladium-rhodium-platinum-nickel-copper-gold discovery in South Africa; and the
extensive redevelopment and upgrading of the historic Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver
mine, also in the Democratic Republic of Congo .
Kamoa-Kakula began producing copper concentrates in May 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 Mines
has pledged to achieve net-zero operational greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) at the
Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine when large-scale electric, hydrogen and hybrid underground
mining equipment become commercially available. Ivanhoe also is exploring for new copper
discoveries on its wholly-owned Western Foreland exploration licences in the Democratic
Republic of Congo, near the Kamoa-Kakula Project.
