Santa Cruz Project

High-Grade Copper Resource Entirely on Private Land in Arizona

4.7 Mt contained resource at average grade of 1.24% copper

5,975 acres of private land encompassing the entire project

Acquired land includes associated water rights

Ivanhoe Electric controls all mineral titles contiguous with surface land

Project has excellent access to existing infrastructure including rail, highways and electric transmission lines

Located just west of Casa Grande,

Arizona, a growing industrial corridor

Santa Cruz Project

Modern Underground Mining Project with Small Surface Footprint

Current project design requires ~1/3 of land package

  • Mine access, processing and tailings storage facilities

Incorporates modern mining technologies to reduce operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions

Includes provision for on-site

solar power to supply up to 70% of Project's electricity

demand

Santa Cruz Initial Assessment:

Focused on High-Grade Oxide and Chalcocite Zones

8

Santa Cruz Initial Assessment ("IA") - September 2023

IA focuses on 5.9 Mt / year underground copper mine with small surface footprint

  • IA only incorporates high-grade exotic, oxide and enriched domains contained in Santa Cruz and East Ridge Deposits

Estimated copper production of 1.6 Mt over 20-year mine life ("LOM")

~1.0 Mt pure copper cathode via onsite SX/EW

~0.6 Mt copper in concentrate that is 48% copper by weight

Initial project capital estimated at $1.15 BN, $980 MM in LOM sustaining capital Low estimated capital intensity of ~$14k / tonne annual copper production Estimated LOM C1 cash costs of $1.36/lb Cu

After-tax NPV8% of $1.32 BN and IRR of 23.0% at $3.80/lb Cu

IA contemplates 70% renewable energy, resulting in low estimated Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 0.49 t CO2e/t Cu produced

9

Phased Development Approach Minimizes Initial Capital Requirements

Initial Assessment focuses on high-grade, oxide and soluble copper domains

Study includes twin 4.3 km declines to access copper mineralization

~2 km extension in Year 8 to access lower portion of mineralization

LOM 105.2 Mt mineralized material mined at 1.58% copper

Santa Cruz: 88.6 Mt at 1.60% copper

Santa Cruz Exotic: 1.9 Mt at

2.66% copper, excluding recent drilling at Verde Domain

Standard longhole stoping and drift and fill methods with paste

backfill for support
