Building futures. Strengthening communities.
Next month, on March 22, people around the world will observe World
Water Day. Water revolutionizes the health and future of communities,
and for that reason, Ivanhoe Mines and its joint-venture partners have
committed to bringing clean water solutions to local communities near
all of its mining projects.
