About
Ivanhoe Mines Ltd is a Canadian mining company and one of the world's most significant copper producers, operating primarily in the Central African Copperbelt that spans the DRC and Zambia. Ivanhoe's flagship asset is the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex in the DRC — the world's second largest copper deposit by resource — which achieved record annual production of approximately 520,000 tonnes of copper in 2024 from its Phase 1, 2 and 3 concentrators. Ivanhoe also operates the Platreef palladium-platinum-nickel-copper-gold-rhodium project in South Africa and the Kipushi zinc-copper-silver-germanium mine in the DRC. In Zambia, Ivanhoe Mines has a significant presence through the Western Foreland Exploration Project in the North Western Province, covering a vast licence area adjacent to the Kamoa-Kakula complex on the Zambian side of the border — a project with potential to extend Kamoa-Kakula's resource base into Zambia. Ivanhoe is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange and employs approximately 12,000 people across its operations. The company is a major participant at Mining Indaba given its transformative impact on Copperbelt copper production.
