Assay results from 19 new holes drilled at the new Kamoa North Bonanza Zone expand the discovery’s strike length to at least 550 metres with intercepts as high as 18.48% copper over 13.6 metres. The east-west-striking fault structure associated with the Kamoa North Bonanza Zone can be traced for up to 20 kilometres onto the adjacent Western Foreland exploration licences that are 100%-owned by Ivanhoe Mines. Drilling on Ivanhoe's 100%-owned Western Foreland licences, immediately north of the Kamoa-Kakula mining licence, has discovered the extension of the Kamoa Far North high-grade shallow copper corridor on Ivanhoe's wholly-owned ground for at least 400 metres.
