Ivanhoe Mines advises Rio Tinto of termination
of restrictions on potential new strategic investors
VANCOUVER, CANADA David Huberman, lead independent director of the Ivanhoe Mines Board of Directors and Chair of the
Boards Corporate Governance Committee, said today that Ivanhoe Mines has exercised its contractual right and given 60
days advance notice to Rio Tinto of a forthcoming change in the agreement governing Rio Tintos investment in Ivanhoe
Mines.
Mr. Huberman said that a meeting of the Ivanhoe Mines Board of Directors yesterday authorized the termination of the
Strategic Purchaser Covenant that has restricted the ability of Ivanhoe to issue shares to strategic investors since
October 2007.
The termination of the covenant will permit Ivanhoe to issue more than 5% of its common shares to one or more
third-party strategic investors, which could include major mining companies.
Mr. Huberman said that the removal of the Strategic Purchaser Covenant will give the Ivanhoe Board the flexibility to
consider all available opportunities as part of its objective of realizing maximum value for Ivanhoe Mines
shareholders.
Rio Tinto has been a supportive strategic partner for Ivanhoe in advancing the Oyu Tolgoi Project to full-scale
construction. We intend to continue our cooperation as we pursue additional financing options for this world-class
project, Mr. Huberman added.
Andrew Harding, Chief Executive of Rio Tintos copper division, resigned from the Ivanhoe Mines Board of Directors
before yesterdays meeting.
