    DEVELOPING A MAJOR NEW COPPER AND GOLD DEPOSIT IN MONGOLIA'S SOUTH GOBI REGION

    Ivanhoe Mines owns the world's largest copper-gold porphyry development project, at Oyu Tolgoi, Mongolia, 80 km (50 miles) north of the China border.

    In October, 2006, world mining leader Rio Tinto agreed to form a strategic partnership by investing in Ivanhoe and, through an Ivanhoe-Rio Tinto Technical Committee, will jointly engineer, construct and operate Ivanhoe's Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mining complex in Mongolia's South Gobi region. The agreement creates a defined path for Rio Tinto to become the largest shareholder in Ivanhoe Mines.

    Provisions of the agreement between Ivanhoe Mines (IVN: TSX, NYSE & NASDAQ) and London-based Rio Tinto (RTP: NYSE; RIO: LSX, ASX) require Rio Tinto to make an immediate investment in the equity of Ivanhoe Mines of approximately US$303 million (CDN$345 million), an amount that will increase, under defined conditions, to up to approximately US$1.5 billion (CDN$1.7 billion).

    In addition to the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold project, Ivanhoe has interests in exploration rights in central and southern Mongolia, where additional copper, gold and coal discoveries have been made.

    IVANHOE MINES' EQUITY INVESTMENTS (as of March 31, 2009):

    SOUTHGOBI ENERGY RESOURCES - 80%

  • SouthGobi Energy Resources (SGQ - TSXv) is focused on the production, exploration and development of its Permian-Age metallurgical and thermal coal deposits in Mongolia's South Gobi Region and in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

    ENTREE GOLD INC. - 14.8%

  • Entrée Gold Inc. (ETG - TSX)is a resource company engaged in the exploration and advancement of premium copper and gold prospects worldwide.

Entrée's Lookout Hill property completely surrounds Ivanhoe Mines' Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold discovery.

    On August 5, 2008, Ivanhoe Mines announced the completion of subsidiary Ivanhoe Australia's (IVA - ASX) A$125 million initial public offering (IPO).
