The United States-based Ivanhoe Electric Inc. is looking for a dual debut in the US and Canada equities markets amid rough market conditions. Some reports suggest that the company is looking to go public to raise funds and help America reduce its dependence on China for getting minerals like copper.
Copper is a base metal, but its demand continues to increase globally. The need for copper is primarily due to its usage in almost everything, like making batteries for electric vehicles (EVs).
Ivanhoe Electric wants to go public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the United States and the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada.
