The new variant of the Covid-19 virus, Omicron, has, so far, had no impact on any of TSX-listed Ivanhoe Mines’ mining or mine development operations in South Africa or the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In a statement on December 2, the Canadian miner confirmed that no cases of the new variant had been detected at the company's Kamoa-Kakula and Kipushi projects in the DRC and, while there had been some recent infections among employees and contractors working at the company's Platreef project in South Africa, all people infected to date have either been asymptomatic or experienced very mild symptoms.

About 92% of Ivanhoe's team based in Sandton and about 86% of Platreef's employees and contractors have received Covid-19 vaccinations.

Meanwhile, Ivanhoe plans to provide a progress update on Kamoa-Kakula's Phase 2 expansion next week and also expects to soon provide an update on development progress at the Platreef project.
