Ivanhoe Mines has secured a significant exploration footprint in Zambia's North-Western Province through a 7,757-square-kilometre license package granted by the Zambian government, as announced on 02 avril 2025. Ivanhoe’s thesis behind the strategically selected licence package is to discover a potential extension of the Central African Copperbelt. This expansion in Ivanhoe’s African copper exploration initiatives builds on the 10 septembre 2024 memorandum of understanding with Zambia's Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development.

The new licenses significantly strengthen Ivanhoe’s regional exploration footprint, positioned strategically between our Western Forelands Project and our Angolan exploration holdings. This Zambian package is more than three times larger than the Western Forelands project.

Our geological team is targeting three primary deposit types:

  • Basement Dome formations
  • Katangan-age sediment-hosted copper systems
  • Iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) systems

The western edge of the Central African Copperbelt in the DRC hosts the Western Foreland Shelf, where the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex and the Makoko and Kiala copper discoveries in the Western Forelands are located. Ivanhoe’s geological team believes that the Western Foreland Shelf facies of the Nguba Group sediments continue to arc southwest into Zambia and Angola. This geological continuity makes the region particularly promising for copper exploration.
