Ivanhoe Mines

A world renowned mining company

CITIC Metal Co., Ltd. entered into an agreement with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. ("Ivanhoe") for the subscription of 19.5% Ivanhoe shares on June 11, 2018. As a result, CITIC Metal becomes Ivanhoe's single largest shareholder upon the closing of the transaction.

Since its founding in 1993, Vancouver-based Ivanhoe has evolved into a world-renowned mineral exploration and mining company and completed a successful IPO in Toronto Stock Exchange（TSX:IVN）in October 2012. Ivanhoe owns three world-scale, high grade mining assets, including Kamoa-Kalula Copper Project (39.6% equity interest), Kipushi Zinc-Copper Project (68% equity interest) in Democratic Republic of Congo and Platreef PGM Polymetal Project (64% equity interest) in South Africa.

The implementation of Ivanhoe project will secure stable supply of copper resources for China's economic development. It indicates CITIC's strong commitment to the "One Belt One Road Initiative" and "China-Africa Development Strategy", and also plays an important role for CITIC Group to achieve disciplined and balanced growth between financial and non-financial businesses. Ivanhoe's world-scale mining assets are likely to become Company's new profit driver and a solid base for capital market participation.
