About Ivanhoe Electric

We are a U.S. company that utilizes cutting-edge mineral exploration technologies to explore for electrification metals primarily in the United States.

Our advanced Typhoon geophysical surveying system, combined with sophisticated data analytics provided by our subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc., accelerates and de-risks the mineral exploration process, enabling us to discover new deposits of critical metals that might otherwise remain undetectable using traditional exploration methods.

We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals.

Our mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, vanadium, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold, and silver.

Through the advancement of our portfolio, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, we aim to support United States supply chain independence by finding and delivering the critical metals necessary for the electrification of the economy.

We also operate a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Ma'aden to explore for minerals on ~48,500 km of underexplored Arabian Shield in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
