Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN; OTCQX: IVPAF) is a Canadian mining company focused on advancing its three principal projects in Southern Africa: the development of new Tier One mines at the Kamoa-Kakula copper discovery in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Platreef platinum-palladium-nickel-copper-gold discovery in South Africa; and the extensive redevelopment and upgrading of the historic, high-grade Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine, also in the DRC.
On May 25, 2021, Ivanhoe announced the start of copper concentrate production at the Phase 1, 3.8-million-tonne-per-annum (Mtpa) Kamoa-Kakula Mine. Ivanhoe also is exploring for major, new copper discoveries on its 100%-owned Western Foreland exploration licences in the DRC, near the Kamoa-Kakula Project.
