Bloomberg story on Ivanhoe’s success in the Democratic Republic of Congo flawed by misleading headline and the erroneous reporting and omission of critical facts, Ivanhoe Mines says

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – July 18, 2017) – Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (TSX:IVN)(OTCQX:IVPAF) –

(Ivanhoe Mines has issued the following statement in response to a story published by Bloomberg News earlier today.)

A story published by Bloomberg News today misleads readers with a false and damaging headline and contains erroneous and misleading claims concerning Ivanhoe’s success at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The article also deliberately omits critical facts that previously were provided by Ivanhoe to Bloomberg.

Ivanhoe will issue a more detailed response to the misleading article in due course.
