Ivanhoe Electric Inc. ( (IE) ) has shared an announcement.
Ivanhoe Electric has signed a definitive collaboration and exploration agreement with Chilean mining major SQM to search for large copper deposits concealed beneath electrically resistive caliche cover in northern Chile, using Ivanhoe Electric’s Typhoon™ geophysical system and Computational Geosciences’ data inversion software across 2,002 square kilometers of SQM mining concessions. SQM will initially fund at least $9 million of exploration over three years, and if a qualifying copper deposit of at least one million tonnes of contained copper (or equivalent) is identified, Ivanhoe Electric can acquire a 50% interest and form a 50/50 joint venture by paying twice SQM’s exploration expenditure, a structure that could materially expand Ivanhoe Electric’s project portfolio and underscores the growing role of advanced geophysics in unlocking new copper supply in a key producing region.
