Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited - Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
1. Background and basis of preparation:
Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (“Ivanhoe Electric” or “the Company”) is a US domiciled company that combines advanced mineral exploration technologies with electric metals exploration projects predominantly located in the United States. The Company’s mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, vanadium, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver. The Company’s portfolio of electric metals exploration projects include the Santa Cruz Project in Arizona and the Tintic Project in Utah, as well as other exploration projects in the United States.
In addition to mineral projects in the United States, the Company also holds direct and indirect ownership interests, and in some cases controlling financial interests, in other non-U.S. mineral projects, and in proprietary mineral exploration and minerals-based technologies.
The Company conducts the following business activities through certain subsidiaries:
• VRB Energy Inc. (“VRB”), develops, manufactures and installs vanadium flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in VRB of 90.0 % as at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 — 90.0 %).
• Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), provides data analytics, geophysical modeling, software licensing and artificial intelligence services for the mineral, oil & gas and water exploration industries. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in CGI of 94.3 % as at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 — 94.3 %).
• Cordoba Minerals Corp. (“Cordoba”) holds the San Matias copper-gold-silver project in northern Colombia. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in Cordoba of 62.8 % as at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 — 63.2 %).
• Kaizen Discovery Inc. (“Kaizen”) holds the Pinaya copper-gold exploration project in Peru. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in Kaizen of 82.5 % as at September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 — 82.7 %).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements and notes contained on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring entries, that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Reverse stock split:
In June 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio of 3 -for-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effective as of June 16, 2022. The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. For periods before June 16, 2022, all references to common stock, options to purchase common stock, per share data, and related information contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
References to “$” refer to United States dollars and “Cdn$” to Canadian dollars.
2. Significant accounting policies:
The Company discloses in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, those accounting policies that it considers significant in determining its results of operations and financial position. There
7

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited - Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
have been no material changes to, or in the application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Company’s consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with both liability and equity characteristics. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2020-06 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and is currently evaluating the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update is to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The Company intends to adopt ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2024 and is currently evaluating the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Use of estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
4. Cash and cash equivalents:
Of the total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $ 13.3 million and $ 20.7 million, respectively, was not available for the general corporate purposes of the Company as it was held by non-wholly-owned subsidiaries.
At September 30, 2023, the Company does no t have any cash equivalents in the form of redeemable short-term investments (December 31, 2022 - $ 2.3 million) .
5. Investments subject to significant influence:

On May 15, 2023, Ivanhoe Electric signed a Common Stock Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Ma’aden (“Ma’aden”) pursuant to the Heads of Terms entered on January 11, 2023. On July 6, 2023, the Company completed the closing of the Ma’aden Transactions and entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, a Shareholders’ Agreement and other instruments contemplated thereby.
The Ma'aden Transactions included the establishment of a 50/50 exploration joint venture between Ma’aden and Ivanhoe Electric to explore approximately 48,500 km 2 of prospective land (“Ma’aden land”) in Saudi Arabia and a $ 127.1 million strategic investment by Ma'aden in Ivanhoe Electric common stock. Refer to Note 8 for further information with respect to the Ma’aden investment in Ivanhoe Electric common stock.
In July 2023, Ivanhoe Electric contributed $ 66.0 million in cash into the Ma'aden Joint Venture. Ma’aden contributed access to Ma’aden land for the purpose of conducting exploration activities as a contribution for its 50 % shareholding in the joint venture.
In addition, Ivanhoe Electric and the Ma'aden Joint Venture entered into a separate Typhoon™ equipment purchase agreement with I-Pulse Inc. ("I-Pulse") under which three Typhoon™ units shall be delivered in 2024 to the Joint Venture for an aggregate contract price of approximately $ 12.0 million.
The exploration phase of the Ma'aden Joint Venture has an initial term of five years that may be extended for up to an additional five years subject to confirmation by both shareholders. The Shareholder’s Agreement shall terminate at the end of the exploration term if no land area with an economically viable resource has been identified (“Designated Project”).
In the event of termination of the shareholder’s agreement or upon conclusion of the exploration phase, the legal and beneficial title to each Typhoon™ unit shall immediately revert to Ivanhoe Electric and Ma’aden shall be entitled to withdraw the land access rights to the Ma’aden land (except concerning Designated Projects).
The Ma'aden Joint Venture is managed by the Board of Directors of the joint venture with Ivanhoe Electric and Ma’aden each having the right to appoint three directors.
Management has determined that the Ma'aden Joint Venture is subject to joint control and will account for the investment using the equity method of accounting. The Ma'aden Joint Venture has expensed the value of the land access rights of $ 66.0 million, in accordance with Ivanhoe Electric’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation costs.

On July 8, 2021, VRB issued a convertible bond for gross proceeds of $ 24.0 million. The bond has a five-year term and interest accrues at a rate of 8 % per annum.
Prior to the maturity date, the convertible bond is automatically converted into equity of VRB upon an equity financing or sale event, at a price per share equal to the lower of:
• the transaction price of the equity financing or sale event; and
• the valuation cap price of $ 158.0 million divided by the total shares outstanding at the time of the event.
If no equity financing or sale event occurs, VRB must repay the outstanding principal and interest on maturity.
The Company has accounted for the convertible bond, including its embedded features, as a debt instrument accounted at amortized cost, as it was determined the embedded features are not required to be bifurcated.
Directly attributable transaction costs of $ 1.1 million were recorded against the carrying value of the debt and are amortized using the effective interest method at a rate of 9.1 %.

(i) Stock options:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted stock options to certain executives and senior management of the Company. The options have a seven-year term and comprise three equal tranches vesting in one-third annual increments beginning one year from the grant date. The stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing stock price on the grant date.
The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of a group of peer companies’ common stock and a group of relevant stock market indices over the expected option life. Management exercised judgment in determining the expected life of the options and considered factors such as the contractual term of the options, the vesting schedule and expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on Federal Reserve rates in effect for bonds with maturity dates equal to the expected term of the option.
Information related to stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is presented below.

11. Non-controlling interests investment in subsidiary:
On May 8, 2023, Cordoba closed the $ 100 million strategic arrangement with JCHX Mining Management Co., Ltd (“JCHX") to advance the Alacran Project in Colombia. Upon closing, JCHX received a 50 % ownership interest in CMH Colombia S.A.S. (“CMH”), a Colombian company that owns 100 % of the Alacran Project and is the joint venture vehicle for Cordoba and JCHX in this strategic project level partnership.
For its 50 % interest, JCHX will pay the $ 100 million purchase price in three installments. As of the closing of the transaction, $ 40 million has been received as a first installment and partial payment for shares issued. A second installment of $ 40 million is receivable in cash upon the board of directors of Cordoba approving the Feasibility Study of the Alacran Project and the filing of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) to the relevant Colombian Government authority, but in no event shall such second installment be paid later than the second anniversary of the closing of the transaction. A third and final installment of $ 20 million is receivable in cash upon the approval of the

(Unaudited - Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
EIA, which must be within two years of the transaction’s closing date. Should the EIA not be approved by the second anniversary of the closing date, JCHX will have the option to elect not to complete this final installment.
As partial consideration for the first installment, the outstanding balance of principal and interest (totaling $ 10.5 million) owing under Cordoba’s bridge loan to JCHX was applied as a payment in kind and the bridge loan was extinguished.
The second installment is secured by a pledge and call option over 20 % of the shares of CMH, that are held by JCHX. In the event JCHX pays the second installment but does not pay the third installment, JCHX’s and Cordoba’s ownership of CMH shares will be adjusted to 40 % and 60 %, respectively.
The Company currently retains control over the relevant activities of CMH therefore continues to consolidate the entity.
The Company measures its non-controlling interest and loss attributable to non-controlling shareholders on the basis of a hypothetical liquidation at book value. Upon closing, the Company recorded the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the interest given up of $ 18.0 million in additional paid in capital.
CMH’s loss is attributable to Ivanhoe Electric’s shareholders in the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share based on the extent to which the parties are eligible to participate in dividends, if any, during the period.
