Ivanhoe Mines Pulls Production, Cost Forecast Due to Seismic Activity at DRC Copper Mine

  • Ivanhoe Mines suspended underground operations at its Kakula copper mine in the DRC on May 20, 2025, due to ongoing seismic activity.
  • This suspension followed intermittent seismic events and increased water inflow that disrupted pumping and electrical systems underground.
  • The company maintains surface processing using stockpiles and continues normal operations at the Kamoa Mine and Kakula Phase 3 concentrator while advancing dewatering plans with partners Zijin and CITIC Metal.
  • Ivanhoe’s CEO Marna Cloete highlighted no injuries amid challenging conditions and emphasized safety as the top priority during the suspension.
  • Ivanhoe withdrew its 2025 copper production and cost guidance for Kamoa-Kakula, acknowledging the seismic activity could last weeks and delay restart efforts.
