Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) said on Monday it plans to kick off exploration activities in Angola next year as it has secured greenfield prospecting rights over an area the size of Switzerland for an initial period of five years.
The Canadian miner has been granted 22,195 square kilometres of rights for exploration in the country’s Moxico and Cuando Cubango provinces, covering what Ivanhoe calls “highly prospective” greenfield copper exploration ground.
Activities are expected to commence following team mobilization in early 2024, the company said.
