Ivanhoe Mines primarily focuses its multi-asset mining operations on discovering, developing, and producing critical green-energy metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, platinum, palladium, and rhodium across Southern Africa. While silver is occasionally recovered as a minor by-product in complex polymetallic ore deposits within specific development sites like the historic Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, silver is not classified as a primary commercial output for the corporation.
