Robert Friedland commented: "Today's announcement completes the build-out of the senior management team that will lead Ivanhoe Electric through its next stages of development. We've come from a private company through our successful NYSE IPO and have now put in place the necessary talent with the experience and skillsets to manage, sustain and grow the Company. We have at least two flagship projects - Santa Cruz and Tintic, as well as significant investments in four listed companies, an industry leading portfolio of more than half a dozen other exploration projects in the United States, a world-leading grid-scale vanadium redox flow battery business, and our proprietary geophysical survey technology, known as Typhoon™, coupled with Computational Geosciences Inc., our industry leading software company. This outstanding portfolio of assets now has the leadership to grow it all."

Taylor Melvin commented, "With today's announcements and the strong existing management team that was already in place, we are confident that we have the dedicated people to take Ivanhoe Electric to the next level. Creating shareholder value in the mining industry requires not only high-quality assets but more importantly a high-quality team focused on a disciplined business plan. We certainly have both."
