Ivanhoe Mines

Ivanhoe Mines is a Canadian mining company focused on the exploration, development and operation of mineral projects in Africa. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. Ivanhoe Mines operates three principal mining projects in southern Africa: the Kamoa-Kakula copper complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Platreef palladium-platinum-nickel-copper-rhodium-gold project in South Africa, and the Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Kamoa-Kakula project is one of the world's largest and highest-grade copper discoveries and has become a major copper producer. The Platreef project, located in Limpopo province, South Africa, is being developed as a significant source of platinum-group metals and base metals. Ivanhoe Mines is led by executive co-chairman Robert Friedland, a prominent figure in the global mining industry. The company has positioned itself as a major player in the production of metals critical to the global energy transition, particularly copper. Ivanhoe Mines was founded in 1993 and has evolved through various corporate restructurings and project acquisitions to focus on its current portfolio of high-quality African assets.
