Kamoa-Kakula,

DRC

On October 12,

Ivanhoe announced

an independently

verified, initial

Mineral Resource

estimate for the

extremely-high-grade

Kakula Discovery on

the Tier One Kamoa-

Kakula Copper

Project in the D.R.

Congo.

Kamoa-Kakula now

ranks among

the 10 largest

copper deposits

in the world, and is

the largest copper

discovery ever

made on the African

continent. 3

A portion of the Kakula area. The new road nearing completion will halve

travel time to the Kakula camp and access the site for the Kakula box cut.

Drill hole DKMC_DD997 was significant in confirming the scale of Kakula.

Geotechnical drilling for the box cut as part of mine-planning

work at the Kakula Discovery.

Construction of a box cut is the first step to provide underground

access to the Kakula Deposit via twin tunnels.

Platreef’s Shaft 1, now down to approximately 150 metres

below surface, will provide early development access into the

Flatreef Deposit and will be utilized to fast-track production.
