What Ivanhoe Electric does

Explores and develops copper and critical-mineral deposits in the US using proprietary geophysical survey technology.

Pays for exploration with share sales rather than revenue, since Santa Cruz is still being studied and Tintic is at an earlier stage. The small revenue it has comes from selling geophysical services and equipment built on the Typhoon system to other explorers. Robert Friedland, the mining entrepreneur, is the founder and executive chairman.

Products and services

  • Santa Cruz copper project (Arizona)
  • Tintic copper-gold project (Utah)
  • Typhoon geophysical survey technology

Customers

  • N/A (pre-production explorer); technology sold to

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Materials
  • Mining exploration
  • Copper/critical minerals exploration…

What could go right

  • Rising copper demand (electrification)
  • Exploration success at Santa Cruz/Tintic

What could go wrong

  • Pre-production/exploration-stage funding risk
  • Copper price volatility

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Proprietary deep-penetrating geophysical technology (Typhoon) helps find deposits others miss.
