About Ivanhoe Electric Inc.
We are a United States-based minerals exploration and development company with a focus on supporting American supply chain independence by finding and delivering copper and other critical metals vital to advanced manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security.
We use our powerful Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system, together with advanced data analytics provided by our subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc., to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process in the search for new deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration technologies.
By advancing our portfolio of critical metals exploration projects, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, we intend to contribute to domestic supply by developing resources that support industrial and strategic sectors. We also operate exploration joint ventures and alliances in Saudi Arabia with Maaden, in Chile with Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile ("SQM"), and in the United States with BHP.
We are committed to establishing strong relationships with our local communities and the responsible development of our projects by incorporating best practices for health, safety, and environmental standards, water management, protection of local cultural heritage and biodiversity, and minimizing our environmental footprint.
