Ivanhoe Mines reports operating, technical and financial developments for a Canadian mining company focused on three principal Southern African operations: the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Kipushi zinc-copper mine in the DRC, and the Platreef platinum-palladium-nickel-rhodium-gold-copper mine in South Africa.
Recurring updates cover copper anode and sulphuric acid production from Kamoa-Kakula, smelter ramp-up activity, Kipushi zinc output, Platreef project development, life-of-mine studies, mineral resource and reserve reports, quarterly results, capital-structure matters, governance updates, and copper exploration across the Western Forelands and other sedimentary copper targets.
Ivanhoe Mines (IVPAF) announced a major 2026 Mineral Resource update for the Makoko District within its Western Forelands copper project in the DRC.
Since the May 2025 estimate, about 64,000 metres of diamond drilling have increased contained copper in the Makoko District by 30% to approximately 12 million tonnes on a 100% basis. Across Western Forelands, Indicated Mineral Resources now total 42 million tonnes at 2.66% copper, plus Inferred Mineral Resources of 612 million tonnes at 1.80% copper. The Makoko District itself hosts Indicated Resources of 34 million tonnes at 2.66% copper and Inferred Resources of 612 million tonnes at 1.8% copper, at a 1% copper cut-off and within mineable shapes.
The 2026 Western Forelands drill program totals 94,500 metres, around 70% of which was completed by August 2026, with a further resource update planned for 2027 and a Makoko scoping study expected to start in Q1 2027.
Ivanhoe Mines (IVPAF) will release an update on its majority-owned Western Forelands Exploration Project before market open on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and host an investor webinar at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time / 7:30 a.m. Pacific Time to discuss the update.
The webinar will include a Q&A session and can be accessed via an online link or phone dial-in using Conference ID 33298. A recording and presentation slides will later be available on Ivanhoe Mines' website.
Ivanhoe Mines (OTC: IVPAF) clarified that a ban on exporting unbeneficiated copper and cobalt concentrates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been enforced for nearly 10 years. Since Kamoa-Kakula began production in 2021, multiple derogations have allowed export of its copper concentrates.
Ivanhoe Mines said current Kamoa-Kakula copper concentrate is smelted at an on-site smelter or at the Lualaba Copper Smelter in Kolwezi. The company added that the Kipushi Mine holds a derogation permitting export of its zinc concentrates.
