China Overview

The overview information below is from the company's 2009 Annual Information Form and was current as of March 2009.

Ivanhoe Mines has active exploration programs in China, Indonesia and the Philippines. These programs principally have been conducted through joint ventures and are focused on orogenic gold, porphyry-related copper-gold, epithermal vein and breccia-hosted gold-silver and copper deposits. Exploration has involved detailed data reviews, field traverses and systematic rock chip and channel sampling of all properties, trenching and in some cases scout diamond drilling. In addition, Ivanhoe Mines conducted detailed reviews of projects and prospective belts in Canada and South America. Work in all these regions will continue in 2010.
