Kamoa-Kakula Management are Advancing Works to Reopen the Western Side of Kakula Mine

Rhea-AI Summary
Ivanhoe Mines (IVPAF) is progressing with plans to reopen the Kakula Mine following its temporary suspension on May 20, 2025. The company has completed Stage One of its dewatering plan, installing temporary underground pumping infrastructure that increased capacity to 4,400 litres per second. Stage Two, involving installation of four high-capacity surface pumps (650 litres/second each), is underway with expected completion in 90 days. The Phase 1 and 2 concentrators continue operating at 50% capacity using stockpiled ore. The western side of the mine remains dry with 1,000 litres per second pumping capacity and is expected to restart operations this month. The eastern side will resume after complete dewatering. The Kamoa underground mine and Phase 3 concentrator operations remain unaffected. Management will announce detailed restart plans next week.

Underground Mining Activities at Kakula Mine Suspended; Remediation Work Continues in Western Section of Kakula

Rhea-AI Summary
Ivanhoe Mines (IVPAF) has temporarily suspended underground mining operations at its Kakula Mine due to ongoing seismic activity since May 20, 2025. The suspension has led to increased water inflow levels, requiring enhanced dewatering efforts. While no injuries have been reported, preliminary indications suggest seismic activity could continue for weeks. The company is working with geotechnical experts to investigate the cause and implementing solutions, including increasing pumping capacity to over 3,000 L/s. Surface operations, including Phase 1 and 2 concentrators, continue processing ore from stockpiles. The Kamoa Mine and Phase 3 concentrator remain operational. Due to these developments, Kamoa-Kakula's 2025 production guidance and smelter ramp-up schedule have been withdrawn pending review.

Ivanhoe Mines Responds to Inaccuracies Made in a Press Release by Zijin Mining About Kamoa-Kakula's Operations

Rhea-AI Summary
Ivanhoe Mines (IVPAF) has issued a response to address inaccurate claims made by Zijin Mining regarding operations at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex in the DRC. The statement specifically refutes Zijin's assertion about "multiple roof-falling and rib-spalling" in the Kakula mine's eastern section. Following a temporary suspension of operations announced on May 20, 2025, ongoing inspections by Ivanhoe management and geotechnical experts have found no evidence of collapsing stopes or structural pillars. Initial findings suggest that recent seismic activity caused "scaling" or rock falls from sidewalls. The company is currently focused on repairing damaged cables and pipework supporting underground pumping infrastructure before resuming operations, starting with the western side of Kakula Mine. A detailed update on potential impacts to annual production guidance will be provided by May 27, 2025.
