Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) (formerly Ivanplats Limited, TSX: IVP), exploring in Africa since 1994, has discoveries and development projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa's Bushveld Complex.
The company's shares began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in October 2012.
With offices in Canada, the United Kingdom and South Africa, Ivanhoe Mines is advancing and developing its three principal projects:

• The Kamoa copper discovery in a previously unknown extension of the Central African Copperbelt in the DRC's Province of Katanga.
• The Platreef Discovery of platinum-group elements, nickel, copper, gold and rhodium on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.
• The historic, high-grade Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-precious metals mine, also on the Copperbelt in the DRC and now being dewatered and upgraded to support a future return to production of copper, zinc and other metals following a care-and-maintenance program conducted between 1993 and 2011.

Ivanhoe Mines also is evaluating other opportunities as part of its objective to become a broadly based international mining company.
