Ivanhoe Electric Receives Indication for up to $825 Million in Financing from Export-Import Bank of the United States for Santa Cruz Copper Project
United States Government Support Reinforces Strategic Importance of Santa Cruz Copper Project in Enhancing Domestic Copper Supply Santa Cruz Copper Project Preliminary Feasibility Study on Track for June Completion Project Permitting, Financing, and Detailed Engineering Rapidly Advancing Towards Construction Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2025) - Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (NYSE American: IE) (TSX: IE) ("Ivanhoe Electric") Executive Chairman Robert Friedland and President and Chief Executive Officer Taylor Melvin are pleased to announce the receipt of a Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("EXIM Bank") outlining the potential to provide up to $825 million in debt financing with a 15 year repayment tenor for the development of Ivanhoe Electric's Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona through EXIM Bank's Make More in America initiative. EXIM Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States. It is a government agency that offers financial support to companies through means such as direct loans and loan guarantees, working capital guarantees, and export credit insurance. EXIM Bank's Make More in America initiative and its China and Transformational Exports Program are designed to boost United States' competitiveness, strengthen supply chains, and reduce strategic vulnerabilities. The Santa Cruz Copper Project aligns with the EXIM Bank's Make More in America initiative, which is intended to increase the United States' supply of critical minerals to foster economic growth and strengthen national security through domestic resource production. Mr. Friedland commented: "Receipt of the Export-Import Bank of the United States' Letter of Interest underscores the importance of our Santa Cruz Copper Project to grow domestic copper production. The United States urgently needs more domestically produced copper to support the rapid expansion and rebuilding of its electric transmission and transportation infrastructure, national defense capabilities, and technologies of the future. Santa Cruz is positioned perfectly to be a source of pure copper cathode to help the United States achieve its strategic mission of greater self-reliance on domestic production of critical metals." Mr. Melvin commented: "We are grateful for this strong show of support by the Export-Import Bank of the United States for the development of our Santa Cruz Copper Project. The people of the EXIM Bank have devoted significant time to learning about our project and are committed to supporting the growth of US critical metals production. We look forward to working together with the EXIM Bank to advance this significant financing opportunity as we rapidly progress our final engineering and permitting efforts at Santa Cruz towards initial construction in 2026. As an advanced-stage copper project on private land in the United States, 100%-owned by a United States company and with the ability to produce pure copper cathode on-site, our Santa Cruz Copper Project is uniquely positioned to meet rising US demand for domestically sourced copper." Ivanhoe Electric continues to pursue additional government support programs, including the EXIM Bank's Supply Chain Resilience Initiative and the Section 45X advanced manufacturing production tax credit. The Supply Chain Resilience Initiative provides financing tools to strengthen and diversify U.S. access to critical mineral supply chains, while Section 45X offers direct tax incentives for the domestic production and processing of those minerals. Ivanhoe Electric is assessing EXIM Bank's interest together with other financing alternatives available to it for the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project. In the event Ivanhoe Electric proceeds with a formal application, EXIM Bank will need to conduct all requisite due diligence necessary to determine if a final lending commitment would be made. Any final lending commitment will be dependent on meeting EXIM Bank's underwriting criteria, authorization process, and finalization and satisfaction of terms and conditions. All final lending commitments must be in compliance with EXIM Bank policies as well as program, legal and eligibility requirements. Santa Cruz Copper Project Advancing Rapidly Toward Construction, Poised to Strengthen U.S. Copper Supply Chain Independence The team at Santa Cruz, which includes Fluor Inc. as project lead, remains on schedule to deliver the Santa Cruz Copper Project Preliminary Feasibility Study in June 2025. The Preliminary Feasibility Study will support project financing activities. Permitting and detailed engineering work are being aggressively advanced throughout 2025. Ivanhoe Electric anticipates that permits will be received and initial construction activities will begin in the first half of 2026. About Ivanhoe Electric We are a U.S. company that combines advanced mineral exploration technologies with electric metals exploration projects predominantly located in the United States.

Ivanhoe Electric Applauds Executive Order to Accelerate Mineral Production in the United States
Ivanhoe Electric's Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona on Track to Deliver Completed Preliminary Feasibility Study in June 2025 Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - March 21, 2025) - Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (NYSE American: IE) (TSX: IE) ("Ivanhoe Electric") Executive Chairman Robert Friedland and President and Chief Executive Officer Taylor Melvin are pleased to see the historic March 20, 2025, Executive Order signed by United States President Donald J. Trump to accelerate the domestic production of critical metals, including copper. The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad U.S. Government effort to expand domestic minerals production on national security grounds. As it relates to project permitting, the Order states that it will "identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals." Furthermore, the Order includes provisions to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a "dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments" under the Development Finance Corporation ("DFC"). Mr. Melvin commented: "This decisive action by our President highlights the urgent need to expand domestic minerals output to support supply chain security in the United States. This important Order will help revitalize domestic mineral production by improving the permitting process and providing financial support to qualifying domestic projects. As a United States company with an advanced high-quality, high-grade copper project on private land in Arizona, we are excited about what the Executive Order means for the future of domestic copper production." Ivanhoe Electric nears key milestone at its Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona with expected completion of Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") in June 2025 Ivanhoe Electric is rapidly progressing advanced stage engineering studies for its modern, high-grade, underground Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona. The Project's PFS is scheduled to be completed in June 2025, and will be used to advance project financing discussions. Ivanhoe Electric is advancing applications for key Project permits with a goal of commencing construction activities as soon as the first half of 2026. The PFS expands on our Initial Assessment released in September 2023 (refer to Ivanhoe Electric's September 6, 2023 news release), which demonstrated attractive economics on a long-lived and high-grade underground copper project capable of producing approximately 80 thousand tonnes of copper per year, including 57 thousand tonnes of pure copper cathode for the U.S. domestic market.
