IVANHOE ELECTRIC PROVIDES UPDATE ON DRILLING PROGRAMS UNDERWAY AT ITS U.S. ELECTRIC METALS EXPLORATION PROJECTS

Ivanhoe Electric Inc. have provided an update on current exploration activities at the company's U.S. electric metal exploration projects.

Ivanhoe Electric's experienced exploration teams are operating eight diamond drill rigs at its projects:

• Two drill rigs are exploring the Tintic Copper-Gold-Silver Project, located 60 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah.
• Two drill rigs are exploring the Hog Heaven Copper-Gold-Silver Project, located 50 miles southwest of Kalispell, Montana.
• One drill rig is exploring the Lincoln Copper-Gold-Silver Project, located in southern Utah.
• Three drill rigs are actively supporting technical work at the Santa Cruz Copper Project, located west of Casa Grande, Arizona.

In addition to exploration drilling, Ivanhoe Electric recently completed a three-dimensional induced polarization geophysical survey, using our proprietary Typhoon(TM) technology, over 25 square kilometers at the White Hill Copper Project in western Nevada.

Mr. Friedland commented: "The amount of exploration activity underway at our US projects is impressive. Our team of talented and experienced geologists and geophysics specialists have been hard at work this summer and will remain so well into the fall. We look forward to providing additional updates on our progress as we advance our important exploration activities in the United States."

Mr. Melvin commented: "It is exciting to see our experienced exploration teams simultaneously advancing multiple projects in the United States. We are combining the talents of our teams with our proprietary TyphoonTM geophysical surveying technology to search for the next generation of electric metals supply. In addition to work on our robust exploration portfolio, we are finalizing the Initial Assessment for our Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona. We continue to expect that study to be complete by the end of Q3 2023."

Ongoing Exploration Drilling at Tintic in Utah Tests the Typhoon-Identified Geophysical Anomalies

At Tintic, our exploration program is focused on identifying porphyry, skarn and carbonate replacement-type mineralization, potentially containing copper, gold, silver and other critical metals.

Ivanhoe Electric's exploration efforts have been guided by the three large-scale geophysical anomalies identified by our 72 square kilometer three-dimensional induced polarization survey completed using Typhoon(TM).

The current drill program is testing new areas of the historic Main Tintic Mining District that have yet to be explored by modern exploration techniques and will look for the potential porphyry copper-gold systems that may have been the source (or sources) to the significant past-producing silver-gold-copper-lead-zinc mines.

The drill program at Tintic is being conducted on Ivanhoe Electric's private patented mining claims, located near the towns of Eureka and Mammoth, Utah, and 40 miles south of Rio Tinto's Bingham Canyon Porphyry Copper-Gold Mine.

Exploration Drill Program at Hog Heaven in Montana Designed to Test for High-Grade Extensions of Historic Mines and the Potential Porphyry Source

The historic Flathead Mine, located within the Hog Heaven Project area, previously produced high-grade silver with associated lead, zinc, copper and gold. Mineralization is believed to continue below previous mine workings, remaining open to depth.

Ivanhoe Electric's current drilling campaign is designed to search for potential porphyry copper mineralization located at depth, which may represent the heat and fluid source to previously mined mineralization; and for additional silver, gold and copper-rich high sulfidation epithermal mineralization, which was the focus of previous mining activities by Anaconda Copper Mining Company who direct shipped high-grade silver ore to their Butte smelter.

The Hog Heaven Copper-Gold-Silver Project is operated through a joint venture, where Ivanhoe Electric may earn up to a 75% ownership of the Project by completing a combination of cash payments and work expenditures. Hog Heaven is located on private land approximately 50 miles south-southwest of Kalispell, Montana.

Exploration Drill Program at Lincoln in Utah Designed to Test Typhoon-Identified Geophysical Anomalies

The Lincoln Project area encompasses numerous historic small underground workings with little record of past production. It is thought to be the oldest mining district in Utah. Prior to Ivanhoe Electric's involvement, almost no modern exploration occurred on the project.

Following the completion of a Typhoon(TM) survey in the Fall of 2022 and the inversion of the data into a three-dimensional model by our subsidiary Computational Sciences Inc., Ivanhoe Electric has commenced drilling on the large-scale geophysical features including chargeability, resistivity, magnetic and density anomalies identified below the historic mine workings, which could represent skarn and/or porphyry-style mineralization.

The drill program at Lincoln is being conducted on a combination of private patented mining claims and unpatented mining claims, located near Minersville, Utah, and 160 miles south of Rio Tinto's Bingham Canyon Porphyry Copper-Gold Mine.

Typhoon(TM) Survey Completed at White Hill in Nevada

Ivanhoe Electric has recognized the potential for buried porphyry, skarn and carbonate-replacement mineralization at the White Hill Project and potential extensions to areas of known copper-skarn mineralization. The recently completed 25 square kilometer three-dimensional induced polarization Typhoon(TM) survey will help to identify any geophysical anomalies potentially related to sulfide-bearing skarns, carbonate replacement deposits and/or porphyry copper systems, located at depth and will be used to help pinpoint future exploration drilling.

Ivanhoe Electric operates the White Hill Copper Project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement, where Ivanhoe Electric has the right to earn up to an 80% interest through a combination of payments and work expenditures. The White Hill Project is located approximately 20 miles east of Hawthorne and 100 miles southeast of Reno, Nevada.

Infill Drilling at Santa Cruz to Support Technical StudiesCurrent infill drilling activity at Santa Cruz is focused on increasing the geological confidence of identified mineralization in the three known deposits: Santa Cruz, East Ridge and Texaco. In addition, the drilling is also testing the hydrogeological characteristics of the host rocks to help determine the quantity and movement of water within the subsurface. This activity is essential as Ivanhoe Electric furthers its technical studies of the Santa Cruz Project and works to complete the Initial Assessment by the end of Q3 2023.

About Ivanhoe ElectricWe are a U.S. company that combines advanced mineral exploration technologies with electric metals exploration projects predominantly located in the United States. We use our accurate and powerful Typhoon(TM) geophysical surveying system, together with advanced data analytics provided by our subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc., to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process as we seek to discover new deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration technologies. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals. Our mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, vanadium, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver. Through the advancement of our portfolio of electric metals exploration projects, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona and the Tintic Copper-Gold Project in Utah, as well as other exploration projects in the United States, we intend to support United States supply chain independence by finding and delivering the critical metals necessary for the electrification of the economy. We also operate a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Ma'aden to explore for minerals on ~48,500 km of underexplored Arabian Shield in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
