@IPulseGroup has signed a definitive agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce @CommerceGov for a $250 million CHIPS R&D Award.
The funding will advance our U.S.-based development of pulsed power technology and high-temperature silicon-carbide semiconductors.
This supports national security, strengthens domestic supply chains, and enables cost-effective geothermal energy production from hot dry rock formations.

@ivanhoeelectric was featured this week in a White House fact sheet on copper tariffs, which are intended to boost domestic production of strategic metals, strengthen key U.S. industries, and prioritize American manufacturing.
The recognition builds on momentum that began earlier this year when Ivanhoe Electric founder and Executive Chairman @robert_ivanhoe visited the White House during the launch of Project Vault, the Administration’s initiative aimed at strengthening America's access to critical minerals and reducing dependence on foreign supply chains.
We are proud to be advancing our Santa Cruz Copper Project to help meet America's growing copper needs while leveraging innovative technologies to produce copper cathode domestically.

We’re working round the clock to knock the cover off the ball in our support for U.S. domestic mineral exploration… and to mine, baby mine!
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said during this Bloomberg interview: “There’s been an attack on American energy in this country, but even longer than that there’s been an attack on mining in our country … Just like President Trump says; ‘drill, baby drill’ we’ve got to get back to ‘mine, baby mine.’ The U.S. graduated 36,000 lawyers last year, and about 300 people with mining and metallurgical degrees.”
#NEWS!: Ivanhoe Electric Executive Chairman Robert Friedland joined President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office for the launch of a $12 billion initiative to build a U.S. strategic minerals stockpile. The initiative, known as Project Vault, is set to combine $1.67 billion in private capital with a $10 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank to procure and store the minerals needed to create supply chain security for U.S. private industry and reduce dependence on China.

It was an honor to have @Ivanhoe Electric Founder and Executive Chairman @robert_ivanhoe represent America’s critical minerals producers at a meeting with President Donald J. Trump in the White House today.
At the meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump launched a $12 billion initiative to build a U.S. strategic minerals stockpile.
The venture, known as Project Vault, is set to combine $1.67 billion in private capital with a $10 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank to procure and store the minerals to create supply chain security for U.S. private industry and reduce dependence on China.
Ivanhoe Electric is developing one of the largest new U.S. copper mines in more than a decade, capable of producing pure copper cathode. The company plans to begin construction of its Santa Cruz mine in Arizona this year and start production before the end of 2028. Copper from Santa Cruz will support American supply chain independence by providing refined metal that is vital to advanced manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security.
President and Chief Executive Officer Taylor Melvin commented, “It was an honor to have our company represented during today’s announcement in the Oval Office of the White House. Project Vault is a major step forward in advancing a resilient, domestic supply of critical minerals for the United States. Ivanhoe Electric is proud to be developing a significant contributor to U.S. copper supply at our modern Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona.”
It was an extraordinary honor to meet His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican and discuss the role of ethical mining and critical minerals needed for economic development as we work towards peace on Earth… I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to His Holiness, and the Pontifical Commission for Latin America for inviting me to the meeting, which took place under the Church’s Building Bridges Initiative.
