Ivanhoe Mines Invites You on a Virtual Site Tour of the Kamoa-Kakula Mine, Now Approximately 80% Complete and Soon to Join the Ranks of the World’s Major Copper Producers

Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) (OTCQX: IVPAF) is pleased to invite shareholders, investors and stakeholders to view a new virtual site tour video that was prepared as part of the company’s participation in BMO Capital Markets’ annual Global Metals & Mining Conference. The video features members of the talented, multinational team that is rapidly constructing the tier-one Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The high-resolution version of the Kamoa-Kakula site tour video is available here: https://bit.ly/3ebuZXC.

“The new video is a showcase of the remarkable progress being made on the first two phases of development at the world-scale Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine. It also introduces additional members of the team constructing the mines and associated processing facilities, as well as the upgraded hydropower plant and high-voltage power lines now delivering clean and renewable electricity to the Kamoa-Kakula Project,” said Robert Friedland, Ivanhoe Mines’ Executive Co-Chairman.

“The video also highlights Kamoa-Kakula’s industry-leading sustainability and community support initiatives. At Ivanhoe, we have always prioritized responsible development and our goal to be an ESG leader. We’re fortunate to be working in the DRC ─ a country with unparalleled copper grades, abundant hydropower potential and a wealth of bright, young, energized women and men who are motivated to learn and participate in the development, and subsequent expansions, of the first world-scale copper mine on the African continent in generations,” Mr. Friedland added.

Translation of the video is underway and soon will be available in French and Mandarin.
