Hallo Stefan,

sorry kann Dir da leider im Moment nicht helfen, da ich über Broker meine Geschäfte abwickle. Denke aber, dass es kein grosses Problem sein sollte, über Toronto zu handeln, da dies ein regulärer Börsenplatz ist. Wichtig ist, das Du genau den Namen der Aktie angibts und den Börsenplatz. Sowas sollte sich dann auch telefonisch klären lassen. Vielleicht kann ein Mitleser Dir da behilflicher sein.

Ivanhoe Mines secures additional CDN$8.3 million financing to reach $65 million objective
Mineral title to Turquoise Hill property officially transferred to Ivanhoe Mines by Mongolian government
SINGAPORE, April 22 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines` Chairman Robert Friedland announced today that the company has secured a CDN$8.3 million (US$5.2 million) Special Warrant financing to reach the CDN$65 million (US$41 million) objective the company announced it was seeking to raise on March 13, 2002. Today`s financing is in addition to the "bought deal" CDN$56.7 million (US$35.8 million) financing that closed on April 3, 2002.
Today`s financing consists of 2.55 million Special Warrants at CDN$3.25 (US$2.05) per Special Warrant. Each Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of Ivanhoe, at no additional cost, at any time until the close of business on the fifth business day after the earlier of (i) the date upon which applicable Canadian provincial securities commissions issue receipts for the company`s final prospectus; and (ii) 120 days after the closing of the financing. The financing is subject to regulatory approval.

Ivanhoe now has approximately US$70 million in cash and US$16 million in marketable securities. Since August, 2001, the company has raised more than CDN$115 million (US$72.8 million) in equity financing to fund the company`s development and exploration programs.

Mr. Friedland also announced that the Mongolian government, through its implementing agency the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia, has formally approved the transfer of title to the four licences comprising the Turquoise Hill (Oyu Tolgoi) Project from BHP Billiton to Ivanhoe Mines Mongolia Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ivanhoe Mines. Ivanhoe now holds a 100% interest in the gold and copper project, subject to BHP Billiton`s 2% royalty. BHP Billiton holds certain back-in rights in the project that become exercisable if copper mineralization meeting certain contractually defined parameters is identified on, or before, June 7, 2002. If copper mineralization meeting these parameters is not identified by June 7, 2002, BHP Billiton`s back-in rights will expire on that date.

Ivanhoe Mines is an international mining company currently developing the Turquoise Hill Project in Mongolia, the first in a series of important new porphyry gold and copper discoveries in Mongolia`s South Gobi region.

Guten Morgen,

Press Release
SOURCE: Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.

Ivanhoe Mines begins gold and silver production at new Eunsan Mine in South Korea
SEOUL, South Korea, April 29 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines` Chairman Robert Friedland and President Daniel Kunz are pleased to announce the start of production at the company`s new Eunsan Mine, which is the only gold and silver mine operating in South Korea.
The Eunsan deposit is the most advanced of several low-sulphidation, epithermal gold-silver mineralized vein systems identified within Ivanhoe`s Seongsan project area in southwestern Chollanam-Do Province. Ongoing drilling is defining the grades and expanding the known extent of the gold and silver mineralization at the other prospects.

The Eunsan mill currently is processing stockpiled open-pit ore. The mine will follow an orderly ramp-up schedule, blending the stockpiled ore with increasing proportions of higher-grade underground ore. When underground operations reach commercial scale, Eunsan is expected to be mining and milling approximately 150 tonnes of ore per day, and producing up to 50,000 ounces of gold and 118,000 ounces of silver on an annual basis, for at least two years.

Gold and silver grades at Eunsan demonstrate wide variability along strike and to depth. Based on 43 diamond holes drilled in 2000-2001, a decision was made to begin mining the high-grade, main ore shoot estimated to contain an inferred resource of 251,800 tonnes, grading 15.0 grams (0.48 ounces) of gold per tonne and 83.8 grams (2.7 ounces) of silver per tonne. Drilling indicates that the majority of the gold and silver is confined to high-grade `shoots` within the vein system.

The open-pit ore stockpile at Eunsan, consisting of approximately 26,000 tonnes of oxidized gold and silver ore grading approximately 13.2 grams (0.38 ounces) of gold per tonne and 600 grams (17.2 ounces) of silver per tonne, was recovered from a small pit that was excavated to provide a portal access to the high-grade, underground ore. The stockpile is comprised of approximately 11,000 tonnes of high-grade ore, at a gold equivalent grade of 1.32 ounces per tonne, and approximately 15,000 tonnes of low-grade ore at a gold equivalent grade of 0.26 ounces per tonne. The open-pit ore will be milled over the balance of this year to recover an estimated 9,000 ounces of gold and 400,000 ounces of silver at an estimated cash cost of US$30 per equivalent ounce of gold, using silver as a production credit.

More than 200 metres of pre-production, underground development has been completed to date, and more than 1.5 kilometres of tunnelling, cross-cuts and raises are planned this year. The mill is expected to produce gold and silver doré bullion from currently stockpiled ore and to generate sufficient cash flow to cover current and estimated capital costs during the underground development period. Ore-shoot sampling of the vein structure, and assaying, will enable the calculation of the Eunsan reserve figures at the end of this period.

Underground mining of the high-grade shoots is expected to begin in September. The estimated cash costs to mine and mill the underground ore will be in the range of US$125 to US$150 per equivalent ounce of gold, using silver as a production credit. Capital and pre-production costs at the mill and open pit were US$1.3 million. Development expenditures to prepare for underground mining are estimated at a further US$2.0 million.

The official opening ceremonies for the mine are scheduled for later this quarter. Photographs of the Eunsan Mine are available on Ivanhoe Mines` website at www.ivanhoemines.com.

"The opening of the Eunsan gold and silver mine is an important achievement for Ivanhoe, the local community and South Korea," Mr. Kunz said. "This project has enjoyed the support of many people, agencies and companies since the high-grade gold and silver deposits were discovered early last year. Following the resumption of production at the Bakyrchik Mine in Kazakhstan, the successful start-up in South Korea is another step toward Ivanhoe`s goal of becoming a significant gold producer from properties in Asia."

Ivanhoe will obtain ISO 14001 certification for Eunsan. The internationally recognized, independent standard for environmental management and protection, ISO 14001 is one of the most exacting, impartial benchmarks used to evaluate environmental management systems. As part of its commitment to implementing environmental best-practice standards at its mining operations, Ivanhoe secured ISO 14001 certification for its joint-venture S&K Copper Mine in Myanmar in 2001.

The Eunsan Mill flowsheet is straightforward and poses no environmental hazards. The mill uses simple flotation processes to produce a high-value concentrate that is smelted on site to produce gold and silver doré bullion for sale in the local market. The silver and gold content in the doré is typically in excess of 95%. The Eunsan refinery can refine the doré into its pure gold and silver components. Recoveries of precious metals from the oxidized, open-pit ore currently are approaching 85%, and recoveries from the underground sulphide ore are expected to reach 95%. No environmentally harmful chemicals are used in the milling or refining processes.

The Seongsan project area contains numerous additional outcropping, low- sulphidation, epithermal gold-silver mineralized systems occurring as veins, breccias, stockworks and silicified zones along a cumulative strike length of at least 3.2 kilometres. The veins lie along a structural zone adjacent to a large, operating clay mine.

Delineation drilling is ongoing at Ivanhoe`s neighboring prospects, Kunsan, Moisan, Moisan Extended and Gasado Island, to define the grade and quantity of gold and silver mineralization in similar high-grade systems that were discovered by the company`s reconnaissance exploration team during the past few years. Ivanhoe is confident that focused exploration will lead to the discovery of additional high-grade, mineralized shoots on the neighboring prospects. The current development concept is to mine three or more deposits, using the central Eunsan milling facility. The mill has been designed to be easily expanded to accommodate additional gold and silver resources expected to be developed in the area.

The inferred resource calculation at Eunsan was prepared in March, 2002, by Ivanhoe Mines` geologists and reviewed by Douglas Kirwin, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The inferred resource was calculated using a Block Model applying a minimum two-metre mining width and no cut-off grade. Ivanhoe is unaware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio- political, marketing, or other relevant issues that may adversely affect the resource estimate. An inferred resource is, by definition, mineralization that does not have demonstrated economic viability.

Ivanhoe Mines is an international mining company developing a major new discovery of gold and copper at the Turquoise Hill Project in southern Mongolia. The company produces LME Grade A copper from its Monywa joint venture in Myanmar, iron ore products from ABM Mining`s Savage River mine and Port Latta pellet plant in Australia and gold from the Bakyrchik Gold Mine in Kazakhstan. Ivanhoe is also developing the high-grade Modi Taung gold project in Myanmar.

Ivanhoe shares are traded on the Toronto and Australian stock exchanges under the symbol IVN.

GOLD AND BASE METAL EXPLORATION IN MONGOLIA


May 2, 2002 (IUC ­ TSX) International Uranium Corporation (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a 100% interest in several new exploration licenses in the Gobi region of south central Mongolia. The Company is preparing for an aggressive gold and base metals exploration program. A summer field campaign of mapping, sampling and data analysis has commenced.

The new 365,000 hectare land package was acquired through the Company`s wholly owned subsidiary, International Uranium Company (Mongolia) Ltd.
("IUCM"). The license areas are in regions of strong structural
deformation, alternation, magmatic and volcanic activity with known occurrences of gold, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, fluorine, uranium and rare earths. Examination of available data has resulted in identification of a number of highly prospective areas with geologic analogies to important gold and base metal deposits throughout the world.

IUCM has operated in Mongolia for eight years and has a particular geologic and operating expertise in the country, offering a competitive advantage for a new gold and base metal exploration program.

IUCM also holds significant uranium deposits through its joint venture with the government of Mongolia and the Russian geological concern "Geologorazvedka". IUCM has a 70% interest in the joint venture and is the operator. The joint venture holds 1.21 million hectares and has conducted extensive exploration, resource drilling and in-situ leach pilot testing for recovery of uranium. In-house estimates of uranium deposits exceed 19 million pounds U3O8.

Ivanhoe Mines welcomes development in Myanmar
STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF IVANHOE MINES
MYANMAR, May 7 /CNW/ - In response to questions from shareholders and media, the Board of Directors of Ivanhoe Mines believes it is appropriate for the company to formally acknowledge important developments within Myanmar.
The Board welcomes the government`s decision to lift restrictions on public activities by Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Myanmar`s National League for Democracy, and to continue the release of political detainees.

Razali Ismail, the United Nations` special envoy who has been encouraging recent reconciliation talks between the government and Ms. Suu Kyi, has said that the government`s action demonstrates its commitment to the objective of democracy for Myanmar. The Ivanhoe Board supports this objective and commends the government for this decision.

Ivanhoe Mines presently has operations and investments in nine countries, most of them in Asia. Ivanhoe holds, as a founding principal, the belief that conscientious, judicious enterprise delivers practical, wide-ranging benefits to people, while at the same time facilitating the relief of human suffering.

Ivanhoe Mines has had a business presence in Myanmar for 10 years. Ivanhoe has owned a 50% joint-venture stake in the Monywa Copper Project, in north-central Myanmar, since 1996; the other 50% is held by state-owned Mining Enterprise No. 1. The first phase of the Monywa project has been producing high-quality copper since 1998 and is a major employment generator and mainstay of the regional economy. Ivanhoe also is developing a prospective, high-grade gold discovery south of Mandalay.

The Ivanhoe Board of Directors is proud of the company`s record of achievement and contribution in Myanmar, which goes far beyond performance that is measured by balance sheets and production logs.




- The Monywa Copper Project, run almost entirely by Myanmar staff, is
providing skilled, well-paid jobs for 550 employees. Counting spin-off
jobs, the mine is providing benefits to an estimated 6,500 men, women
and children in the region.
- The copper project is preparing to proceed with the planned, second
phase, which will increase annual production from the present rate of
28,000 tonnes a year to a projected 155,000 tonnes a year. Ivanhoe and
its joint venture partner remain in detailed discussions involving
proposals from two major Asian financial institutions, and their
associates, for a financing package worth approximately US$400 million
for the phase-two development of the Letpadaung copper deposit.
- In addition to the development capital and construction work, the
expansion will create an estimated 3,000 direct and indirect permanent
jobs, producing benefits for a total of about 10,000 employees and
family members in communities throughout the region, and will provide
important, future export earnings for the country.
- Best-practice western environmental and mining standards are observed
throughout the copper operation. Extensive training has been provided
to enable the workforce to operate state-of-the-art, zero-emission
technology.
- The copper project has received environmental certification to the
demanding, international ISO 14001 standard. In addition, independent
annual inspections monitor compliance with procedures to protect the
health and safety of employees, and monitor on-site environmental
programs. The rehabilitation of a significant area degraded by an
earlier, state-owned mining operation has been completed ahead of
schedule.
- Ivanhoe Mines, and the private foundation supported by Ivanhoe
Chairman Robert M. Friedland, are making important contributions to
the health and social well being of the immediate mine community, and
of the regional centre of Monywa. The local minetown hospital has been
refurbished and re-equipped, and diagnostic and treatment equipment
has been donated to the Monywa hospital, which serves several million
people. Parasitic infections have been avoided through the supply of
safe drinking water to the mine community and a portion of copper
revenues is funding school scholarships.

A review of Ivanhoe Mines` operations in Myanmar, including a reference
fact file, and the company`s Statement of Values and Responsibilities,
are available on the information website: www.ivanhoemines.com.


Ivanhoe Mines is an international mining company developing a major new discovery of gold and copper at the Turquoise Hill Project in southern Mongolia. The company produces LME Grade A copper from its Monywa joint venture in Myanmar, iron ore products from ABM Mining`s Savage River mine and Port Latta pellet plant in Australia and gold from the Bakyrchik Gold Mine in Kazakhstan.

Thursday May 16, 4:59 pm Eastern Time
Press Release
SOURCE: Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.
Ivanhoe Mines announces 2001 year-end financial results
TORONTO, May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Daniel Kunz, President, today released Ivanhoe Mines` financial results which reported an operating profit of US$10.0 million, generally consistent with the operating performance of recent years. The results contain a net loss of US$85.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, due primarily to write-downs totalling US$59.2 million in the carrying value of the company`s iron ore mine assets in Australia and Norway that reflect the weak, world markets for iron ore products. The writedowns were the major contributor to Ivanhoe`s reported total loss per share of US$0.66, compared to a loss of US$0.24 per share for the financial year that ended December 31, 2000.


Overview

- The 2001 results include:
- A profit of US$2.5 million from the S&K Mine copper operations
in Myanmar. Ivanhoe`s share of the mine`s sales of cathode
copper in 2001 was 12,933 tonnes (28.5 million pounds) at an
average selling price of US$0.73 a pound. Minegate cash costs
were US$0.37 a pound. Listing of the "Monywa S&K" brand of
Grade A copper was approved by the LME on December 13, 2001.
The LME premium increases revenues on sales of S&K copper by
approximately US$30 a tonne ($0.14 a pound).

- A loss of US$66.2 million from the Savage River Mine iron ore
operation in Australia, including a US$53.8 million write-down
of the mine`s assets and a foreign exchange loss of US$7.9
million. The revaluation of the mine assets was necessitated by
the negative impact of deteriorating world iron ore markets
on the economics of the mine. Sales of pellets in 2001 totalled
1.82 million tonnes at an average sales price of US$31 a tonne.
Operating cash costs were approximately US$24 a tonne.

- Exploration expenses, net after tax, of US$6.3 million,
including expenditures of US$3.8 million in Mongolia.

- Care-and-maintenance costs of US$3.7 million for mining
properties in Kazakhstan and Norway.

- A write-down of US$5.4 million on iron ore assets in Norway.

- General and administrative expenses of US$5.7 million.

- On the strength of exploration results on its Mongolian properties,
the company raised US$72.7 million in equity financings between
August, 2001, and April, 2002, through the issuance of 44.6 million
common shares. The company is continuing to advance its exploration
and development projects through these successful financings.

- Long-term debt was reduced by US$10.3 million during the year, to
stand at US$41.8 million at year-end. The debt is project-related and
non-recourse to Ivanhoe.

- The Eunsan Gold and Silver Mine in South Korea started milling
operations in March, 2002, and is scheduled to reach full commercial
production of 150 tonnes of high-grade ore per day during the second
quarter of 2002.

- In the third quarter of 2001, the company reinstated gold production
at its Bakyrchik property in Kazakhstan. The economics of the project
are being tested on oxidized ore material stockpiled on surface from
previous operations. If successful, the company plans to start
contract mining 500 tonnes of oxidized ore a day from shallow
deposits, beginning in mid-2002.

- Ivanhoe is continuing project-financing negotiations for the proposed
US$389-million Letpadaung copper mine in Myanmar. Letpadaung, near
the S&K Mine, is the second phase of the Monywa copper project.


"We have taken this opportunity in the current market cycle to reassess the economic impact of the depressed iron ore markets on ABM`s Savage River Mine and pellet plant in Australia, and the Bjornevatn iron ore assets in Norway," Mr. Kunz said. "In keeping with the company`s commitment to prudent and conservative accounting practices, the Board has decided to write-down US$59.2 million in relation to these assets. We deem the residual value of US$3.7 million, net of US$33.2 million of project debt, to be reasonable and appropriate."

Ivanhoe Mines is an international mining company developing an important new discovery of gold and copper at the Turquoise Hill Project in southern Mongolia. The company produces LME Grade A copper from its Monywa joint venture in Myanmar, iron ore products from ABM Mining`s Savage River Mine and Port Latta pellet plant in Australia, gold and silver from the Eunsan Mine in South Korea and gold from the Bakyrchik Gold Mine in Kazakhstan. Ivanhoe also is developing the high-grade Modi Taung gold project in Myanmar.

Ivanhoe`s Turquoise Hill Project is the first in a series of new porphyry gold and copper discoveries in Mongolia`s South Gobi region. Ivanhoe has started exploration at Kharmagtai and other priority targets, and has commenced a regional exploration program on the company`s 50,000 square kilometres (19,300 square miles) of tenements in the South Gobi. An exploration update with new drill results from Ivanhoe`s Turquoise Hill Project will be released shortly.

The Eunsan mill in South Korea is processing stockpiled open-pit ore. The mine will follow an orderly ramp-up schedule, blending the stockpiled ore with increasing proportions of higher-grade underground ore. When underground operations reach commercial scale later this year, Eunsan is expected to produce up to 50,000 ounces of gold and 118,000 ounces of silver on an annual basis, for at least two years.

The full financial statements will be available on Ivanhoe Mines` website at www.ivanhoemines.com.

Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. - Important new copper and gold discovery expands Central Zone at Turquoise Hill gold and copper project in Mongolia; contract signed to expand drilling program
MONGOLIA, May 21 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines` Chairman Robert Friedland and Executive Vice-President, Exploration, Douglas Kirwin are pleased to announce new results from the Central Zone and the signing of a contract with a unit of Major Drilling of Canada to significantly expand the current drilling program on the company`s 100%-owned Turquoise Hill (Oyu Tolgoi) gold and copper project in southern Mongolia.
The company is currently compiling results from recent drilling in the nearby Southwest Discovery Zone that will be the subject of a separate report to follow shortly.

Seven holes drilled at the Central Zone, approximately 1,000 metres north of the Southwest Discovery Zone, have encountered intrusive and volcanic- hosted hypogene, gold-rich, chalcopyrite mineralization similar to that in the Southwest Discovery Zone, adjacent to and beneath a thick blanket of strong, secondary chalcocite and covellite mineralization.

Holes OTD196, OTD202 and OTD207 are step-out holes that extend the high- grade gold and copper mineralization previously encountered in OTD187, which intersected 102 metres grading 1.40 g/t gold and 0.84% copper in basaltic volcanic rocks, at a down-hole depth of between 334 to 436 metres. Closer to surface, Hole 187 also intersected 138 metres of 0.42 g/t gold and 0.57% copper, from a down-hole depth of 90 to 228 metres.




Of the new holes:

- OTD202 intersected 136 metres grading 0.58 g/t gold and 0.89% copper at
a down-hole depth of between 280 metres to 416 metres, including 44
metres grading 1.09 g/t gold and 1.22% copper in primary chalcopyrite
mineralization. The upper part of the hole contained 82 metres grading
0.05 g/t gold and 0.86% copper in secondary mineralization.

- OTD207 encountered 68 metres grading 0.15 g/t gold and 2.15% copper at
a down-hole depth of between 44 metres and 112 metres in secondary
enrichment blanket, as well as intersecting 144 metres grading 0.66 g/t
gold and 0.79% copper in primary mineralization beginning at a down-
hole depth of 238 metres.

- OTD196 intersected 26 metres grading 0.25g/t gold and 2.29% copper at a
down-hole depth of 48 metres before encountering 156 metres grading
0.43 g/t gold and 0.84% copper starting at a down-hole depth of 294
metres.

- Visually, holes OTD216 and OTD217 are encountering significant copper
mineralization in the Central Zone whereas holes OTD 212 and OTD 215,
described in more detail below, are in significant copper
mineralization approximately midway between the Central Zone and the
Southwest Discovery Zone.


The mineralized intercepts are from inclined holes; the true vertical depth from the surface to the currently defined primary gold/copper mineralization is shallower, ranging from approximately 125 metres to 250 metres. Potential exists to project this style of mineralization closer to the surface based on the current geologic interpretation (see www.ivanhoemines.com for cross-sections.)

These new holes are important to the overall project because they
identify:

1. A near-surface, blanket-like, enriched zone of secondary copper
mineralization potentially amenable to simple flotation concentration,
or low-capital heap leaching.
2. An underlying gold/copper system of the same style and character as
the system at the nearby Southwest Discovery Zone.


The Central Zone drilling is designed to test a target, some 800 metres by 600 metres, that was defined by the outline of the IP anomaly. Holes within the target area will be spaced at approximately 100-metre intervals. It should be noted that the "footprint," or surface projection of the high-grade core of Southwest Discovery Zone, is only approximately 250 metres in diameter in the upper part of the deposit. As the current program progresses, deeper drilling will test for an increase in the gold-to-copper ratios, an overall increase in grade with depth, as was found at the Southwest Discovery Zone, and evidence that the two systems could merge at depth into a parent intrusive.
Recent drilling also indicates that the mineralization appears to have been down-dropped on the southeastern flank of the Central Zone, where the IP survey projects the zone below the shallow, reverse-circulation (RC) holes previously drilled in the area - suggesting that additional primary mineralization also could exist at depth in this location. This concept is supported by holes OTD212 and OTD215, located approximately mid-way between the Central and Southwest Discovery zones. Both holes have encountered primary copper mineralization beneath a thin sequence of gravels adjacent to a projected extension of a northeast-trending structure that has been encountered in deep drilling in the Southwest Discovery Zone. This structural zone appears to have some influence on the distribution of higher grade gold values encountered in that area.

The discovery of these contiguous zones of mineralization offers the potential for a second open pit that ultimately could merge into a super-pit encompassing the Southwest Discovery Zone, which would significantly alter the future development plans of the overall project. The combination of higher- grade copper in the thick secondary zone and strong gold grades in the primary mineralization also could allow for sequencing of copper mineralization during periods of high copper prices or alternatively gold-rich zones in times of higher gold prices, a unique advantage of this type of multi-commodity deposit.

Ivanhoe`s understanding of the geology and mineral zoning of the Central Zone is evolving, assisted by the new drilling and the detailed geophysical survey that integrates resistivity and induced polarization (IP). Hole OTD159, which is centred over a coincident IP/resistivity anomaly, encountered supergene chalcocite/covellite-dominated mineralization over a 375-metre-thick interval. Subsequent, preliminary metallurgical test work conducted by Lakefield Research Limited, of Canada, indicated that potential exists to make a high-grade flotation concentrate from the secondary copper mineralization. The ability to make a commercial-grade concentrate from the shallow secondary mineralization would allow for the use of a single concentrator facility, designed for the long-term treatment of the deeper, hypogene chalcopyrite- hosted gold/copper mineralization. The net effect would be to significantly lower the overall strip ratio within the Central Zone and increase the probability for development of the deposit early in the life of the project.

Major Pontil Drilling Contract Signed

As a direct result of the recent progress made on the Turquoise Hill Project, the company has signed a contract with the Mongolian office of Major Pontil Drilling, an Australian subsidiary of Major Drilling of Canada, to employ at least another seven drill rigs, including high-capacity deep rigs, with directional capability for a combined minimum of 50,000 metres of diamond drilling. The additional drill rigs are expected on site within the next 45 days, and will increase the number of rigs that Ivanhoe has working around the clock on its Mongolian exploration program to 14. The directional-drilling capability is necessary to effectively delineate the location of the high- grade core to the Southwest Discovery Zone that has now been delineated to true vertical depths in excess of 800 metres. This contract also will allow Ivanhoe to aggressively pursue the expansion of the identified zones of mineralization at Turquoise Hill, and to test other high-priority targets on the property and within the large exploration concession block surrounding the project area.

Monday May 27 2002 News Release
Mr. Francis McGuire reports
MAJOR DRILLING SIGNS CONTRACT FOR MONGOLIA WITH
IVANHOE MINES
Major Drilling`s Australian operation, Major Pontil Pty. Limited, has entered
into a contract with Ivanhoe Mines to supply exploration drilling services at
Ivanhoe`s Turquoise Hill (Oyu Tolgoi) gold and copper discovery in
southern Mongolia.
The contract provides for a minimum of 50,000 metres of diamond core
drilling in its first phase and will require at least seven drill rigs, including
several high-capacity UDR 1000 and 1500 drill machines with directional
capability. The drilling program will initially involve diamond coring to
depths of up to 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) at the Turquoise Hill project. The
drill rigs are expected to be on site within 45 days and the first phase of
drilling is expected to continue round the clock for approximately nine
months. To meet Ivanhoe`s request for an early startup of drilling operations,
Major Drilling will be airlifting the large UDR drill machines directly to
Mongolia.
The directional-drilling capability is necessary to effectively delineate the
location of the high-grade core to the Southwest discovery zone that has
now been delineated to true vertical depths in excess of 800 metres. This
contract also will allow Ivanhoe to aggressively pursue the expansion of the
identified zones of mineralization at Turquoise Hill, and to test other high-priority
targets on the property and within the large exploration concession
block surrounding the project area.
Major Drilling has established a branch office in Ulan Bator, the capital of
Mongolia, and commenced mobilizing resources from its Australian and
Canadian divisions to respond to the requirements of the Ivanhoe program
and to pursue other opportunities in Mongolia.

Exploration drilling encounters strong porphyry gold and copper mineralization at Kharmagtai project in Mongolia
ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia, July 8 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines` Chairman Robert Friedland and Executive Vice-President, Exploration, Douglas Kirwin announced today that the company`s exploration drilling has intercepted strong gold and copper porphyry mineralization at the Kharmagtai project in Mongolia`s South Gobi region. The drilling confirms the discovery of high-grade, porphyry- hosted, gold and copper mineralization similar in style to the high-grade zones at the company`s Turquoise Hill Discovery, 120 kilometres to the south.
Ivanhoe has completed two diamond-drill holes at the Kharmagtai copper- gold porphyry target.

KH001 was drilled to a depth of 426.4 metres (dip 45 degrees) and intersected a broad zone of porphyry-style alteration and halo mineralization within and adjacent to the host monzodiorite intrusive.

KH002 was subsequently drilled to a depth of 182.4 metres (dip 45 degrees). It intersected 64 metres grading 2.49 g/t gold and 1.21% copper at a down-hole depth of between 76 and 140 metres, including 12 metres grading 4.41 g/t gold and 1.62% copper.

A third hole, KH003, located approximately 160 metres from KH002 and sited over one of many magnetic and induced polarization (IP) anomalies at Kharmagtai, is currently beyond 270 metres in depth. KH003 has intersected significant widths of altered and mineralized monzodiorite intrusive beginning at a down-hole depth of 7.5 metres. Mineralization consists of quartz veining with visible chalcopyrite, pyrite and rare native copper with associated strong magnetite, secondary biotite and tourmaline alteration similar to that encountered in KH002. KH003 is targeting the extension of the mineralization intercepted in KH002 and is intended to give some indication of the geometry of the mineralized body.

Kharmagtai is part of a highly mineralized area that includes the Turquoise Ridges (Ovoot Hyar) licence. Within these licences four copper-gold porphyry targets - Kharmagtai, Stockwork Hill, Chun and Turquoise Ridges (Ovoot Hyar) - and a sediment-hosted gold target - OV3 - have been defined. A map showing the location of the targets is on Ivanhoe`s website at www.ivanhoemines.com. Recent trench sampling has encountered visible gold in altered sediments and jasperoid mineralization at the OV3 prospect. Visible gold also has been observed within quartz stockwork mineralization at the Stockwork Hill and Chun prospects. It is anticipated that further porphyry targets will be identified as field mapping and trenching continues and the geophysical data is further interpreted.

"Our exploration program has confirmed three high-priority, porphyry quartz-stockwork gold/copper mineralized intrusive systems within a 20-square- kilometre area at the Kharmagtai district," Mr. Kirwin said. "All three targets have alteration and style of mineralization that are the same as those we`ve observed in the Southwest Oyu Zone at Turquoise Hill. The very high gold- to-copper ratios encountered in KH002 are typical of those at Turquoise Hill`s Southwest Oyu high-grade zone."

Kharmagtai`s gold and copper/gold targets were initially identified by earlier Mongolian, Russian and Japanese geological expeditions. These targets were further delineated in a preliminary drilling and trenching program conducted in the mid- to late 1990s by Quincunx Gold Exploration (now named QGX Ltd.). QGX`s exploration included 18 widely-spaced diamond holes totalling 3,730 metres, 9,000 rock samples, 4,000 soil samples, 19 kilometres of trenching and 240 kilometres of magnetic surveying, all of which clearly defined the anomalous and widespread nature of the porphyry system being evaluated today.

Ivanhoe acquired the project last year and has subsequently identified several new targets. In March, 2002, Ivanhoe acquired all of QGX`s exploration data in exchange for a 10% interest in the Kharmagtai exploration licence.

Ivanhoe`s exploration work within the Kharmagtai and Turquoise Ridges licences includes detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling, more than 5,400 line kilometres of ground magnetics and 1,900 line kilometres of induced polarization. The company also has completed approximately 8,000 metres of excavator trenching at Kharmagtai, Turquoise Ridges and OV3.

Ivanhoe recently discovered potentially significant, sediment-hosted gold mineralization, within an alteration system measuring approximately 3.0 kilometres by 1.5 kilometres and associated with a large induced polarization anomaly, at OV3, approximately 15 kilometres west of the current drilling at the Kharmagtai prospect. Mechanical trenching at OV3 is ongoing and drilling is expected to begin in the second half of July. A detailed update on the company`s exploration results on this promising gold prospect will be issued shortly.

Ivanhoe has planned a multi-rig drilling program to explore its vast land holdings within Mongolia`s South Gobi porphyry belt, which compares favourably in size and style of mineralization to several of the world`s most productive copper-gold porphyry districts. Ivanhoe holds mineral rights to more than 51,600 square kilometres (19,900 square miles) in Mongolia, most of which is within the South Gobi porphyry belt. Other high-priority targets within the belt that Ivanhoe plans to drill-test this year include Shuteen, Oyut Ulaan, Chandman Uul, Oyut Ovoo and Saran Uul. Given the size and strength of these targets, and given that porphyry deposits often occur in clusters, Ivanhoe is optimistic that its exploration will lead to additional gold and copper discoveries.

Successful results from the planned drilling program could lead to the development of a world-scale mining province. One of the key advantages of the South Gobi is its flat terrain and close proximity to China, the world`s largest copper importer.

TURQUOISE HILL - EXPLORATION DRILLING ONGOING

At the Turquoise Hill Project, Ivanhoe`s exploration program is continuing to delineate and expand this significant gold and copper porphyry discovery. Six rigs are currently drilling and 12 additional rigs will begin arriving later this month, leading to 18 rigs being employed by Ivanhoe in the Gobi. An update on the drilling progress being made on the large Central Zone, located approximately 1,000 metres north of the Southwest Discovery Zone, is planned for late-July.

As announced on May 29, 2002, the inferred resource in the Southwest Oyu Zone, at a cut-off grade of 0.50% copper equivalent, is 469 million tonnes grading 0.70 grams of gold per tonne and 0.48% copper, containing 10.6 million ounces of gold and almost 5.0 billion pounds of copper. The updated inferred resource estimate was prepared by AMEC E&C Services Limited, in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101. Ivanhoe will continue to update the resource estimate at Turquoise Hill on approximately a quarterly basis as exploration progresses and results are analyzed.

Douglas Kirwin, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43- 101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release. All samples were analyzed by SGS Analabs Pty. Ltd. at its facility in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Ivanhoe Mines` new Silver Hill gold and silver mine in South Korea begins commercial production
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, Aug. 7 /CNW/ - Ivanhoe Mines` President Daniel Kunz announced today that the Silver Hill (Eunsan) gold and silver mine in South Korea has successfully completed its start-up phase and now is in commercial production. As of July 31, the mine had sold the 2,300 ounces of gold and 107,000 ounces of silver that it had produced from development ore mined from the initial open-pit, and generated more than US$1.0 million in sales revenue. The mine`s output is scheduled to gradually increase during the next five months to an annual rate of up to 50,000 ounces of gold and 118,000 ounces of silver as development of the underground mining progresses to full production. ADVERTISEMENT



Ivanhoe`s value-driven engineering and cost-effective sourcing and fabrication of key equipment in South Korea was instrumental in limiting the initial capital investment to develop the mine to less than US$1.3 million.

To date, the mine has processed 9,800 tonnes of open-pit development ore with an average grade of 11.5 grams per tonne (gpt), or 0.37 ounces per tonne (opt), of gold and 586 gpt (18.8 opt) of silver. The mine`s gold and silver doré bars are being sold to a consortium of Korean precious-metals wholesalers.

The main ore shoot at Eunsan contains an estimated inferred resource of 251,800 tonnes, grading 15.0 gpt (0.48 opt) of gold and 83.8 gpt (2.7 opt) of silver. Infill ore reserve definition drilling from underground is underway to better delineate the grade and extent of the deposit and to upgrade the inferred resources to the higher measured and indicated resources category. Ivanhoe believes that there is excellent potential to expand the extent of the main ore shoot, as well as to discover new high-grade zones. For example, a recent underground hole drilled in an area of limited previous drilling intersected six metres of 29.3 gpt (0.94 opt) of gold and 51 gpt (1.63 opt) of silver.

More than 850 metres of pre-production, underground development now have been completed in advance of full-scale mining later this year. The Silver Hill Mine is expected to process approximately 150 tonnes of ore per day for at least two years when underground operations reach full production. The estimated cash costs to mine and mill the underground ore are expected to be in the range of US$125 to US$150 per ounce of gold, net of silver byproduct revenue.




Photographs of the mine are available on Ivanhoe Mines` website at
www.ivanhoemines.com.


Ivanhoe expects that the Silver Hill mill will provide a processing base for other nearby epithermal gold and silver prospects under development within Ivanhoe`s Seongsan project area in southwestern Chollanam-Do Province. Delineation drilling is ongoing at Ivanhoe`s neighboring prospects, Kunsan, Moisan, Moisan Extended and Gasado Island, to define the grade and quantity of gold and silver mineralization in similar high-grade systems that have been discovered by the company`s reconnaissance exploration team.
Given the successful startup of the Silver Hill Mine, Ivanhoe plans to incorporate a similar development model at the high-grade Modi Taung gold prospect in central Myanmar. Modi Taung is in a mesothermal slate belt setting. The term `mesothermal` refers to a class of gold deposits that are related to deep-seated, high-temperature fluid sources that elsewhere have been shown to contain economic gold grades over vertical extents of one to three kilometres.

Ivanhoe is a diversified mining company, producing LME Grade A copper from its Monywa joint venture in Myanmar, iron ore products from ABM Mining`s Savage River Mine in Australia, and gold and silver from its Silver Hill Mine in South Korea. Ivanhoe also is actively exploring for gold, platinum group metals and base metals throughout Asia.

The inferred resource calculation at Silver Hill was prepared during March, 2002, by Ivanhoe Mines` geologists and reviewed by Douglas Kirwin, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The inferred resource was calculated using a Block Model applying a minimum two-metre mining width and no cut-off grade. Ivanhoe is unaware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio- political, marketing, or other relevant issues that may adversely affect the resource estimate. An inferred resource is, by definition, mineralization that does not have demonstrated economic viability.

Ivanhoe has approximately US$52 million in cash and US$15 million in marketable securities. Ivanhoe shares are listed on the Toronto and Australian stock exchanges under the symbol IVN.

Kazakhstan Sees 2002 Gold Output 17 Tons Versus 16.5 Tons `01
Wednesday September 11, 4:02 am ET


ALMATY, Kazakhstan -(Dow Jones)- Kazakhstan plans to mine 17 metric tons of gold in 2002, slightly higher than 16.5 tons produced in 2001, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry said Wednesday.
Evgeny Ryaskov, deputy head of the heavy-industry department, told reporters the output rise is mainly due to higher production by the country`s major copper and zinc companies, Kazakhmys, which is 40%-owned by Samsung Corp. , and Kazakhzink, controlled by Glencore International AG .

Half of Kazakhstan`s gold output comes as associated gold from its copper and zinc mines, Ryaskov said.

Kazakhstan also plans to resume production by end-2002 at the Ubilei gold- field, which has estimated reserves of 300 metric tons. Development was stopped due to lack of financing after the break-up of the Soviet Union, Ryaskov said.

Kazakhstan is developing two big gold deposits, Vasilkovskoye and Bakyrchik, with gold reserves of 400 and 200 tons, respectively. Bakyrchik Gold is 70%- owned by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (Toronto:IVN.TO - News) , while Vasylkovskoye Zoloto is 60%- controlled by Israeli diamond magnate Lev Levayev.

Kazakhstan, which has about 120 gold-fields, produced 30 tons of gold a year in Soviet times, but had to cut down production after the Soviet Union break-up.

The country has seen a gradual increase in gold production from 14.5 tons in 1994 to 16.5 tons in 2001.
