On August 7, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted an amended and restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (as amended, the "Code"). The Code replaces the previous Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by the Board (the "Prior Code") in its entirety to, among other things, include the addition of provisions related to promoting diversity and respecting human rights.

The Code was approved and adopted by the Board as part of its ordinary course review of the Company's governance documents, codes, and policies. The Code became effective upon the Board's approval and adoption.

The Code applies to all directors, officers, employees, and authorized representatives of the Company and its subsidiaries and constitutes a "code of ethics" as such term is defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K.

Adoption of the Code did not relate to or result in any waiver, whether explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Prior Code.

The foregoing summary of the Code is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code, which is available on the Company's website at https://ivanhoeelectric.com/site/assets/files/9740/2024-08-07_code_of_business_conduct_and_ethics_amendments_approved.pdf.  Information contained on the Company's website is not incorporated by reference in, or considered part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
