The Côté Gold Project Community Newsletter - August 2015

Cote Gold Project Update – a new phase in the development processFor the past three years, IAMGOLD has continued to advance the Côté Gold Project to become an

operating mine. As part of these efforts, we are continuing to conduct the economic study as well as

permitting activities for the Environmental Assessment (EA). In light of the current nature of the work

at site, and after much deliberation, IAMGOLD has taken the difficult decision to reduce staff at Côte

Gold from 33 permanent employees to two, effective August 20, 2015. The regional exploration team

will remain staffed to support the economic study, and we will continue to have an environmental

specialist on-site to ensure that all work needed for the EA and future regulatory requirements is

maintained. Our Aboriginal and Community Relations Officer, Cheryl Naveau, will also continue to

work with the Project as a consultant and community advisor.

IAMGOLD has spoken with various community representatives about this decision to ensure that they

fully understand our continuing commitment to advancing the Project, and that the staff reductions

reflect the nature of the current and future work that needs to be undertaken on site. This new phase in

the development process represents a wind-down in site-based activities, with a continued emphasis

on completing work needed to further the EA and the economic study. IAMGOLD is grateful to the

wonderful staff we have had at Côté for their hard work, dedication and value they have brought to

the Project.

Youth Summer Experience Program (2015)For the second year in a row, IAMGOLD

employed two summer students from local

communities to join our team. The Youth

Summer Experience Program provides local

students with an opportunity to enhance their

understanding of IAMGOLDs organizational

Community Engagement MNO Site TourOn June 30, 2015, IAMGOLD had the pleasure of hosting the Métis Nation of Ontario’s – Region 3

Consultation Committee for a Site Tour. Site tours provide an opportunity for key stakeholders to receive

a hands-on understanding of the Project and the proposed location of various Project components. In

addition, the tour group was provided with an overview of ongoing exploration activities in the region

and the nature of the geology in and around the Project.

For IAMGOLD, this

is also a valuable

opportunity to

better understand

local Aboriginal

communities use

of the land in

near the Project

and their unique

perspectives on

the environmental

management.

Aside from some rain, the day was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all!

culture, ethics and employer expectations. The program is important to IAMGOLD as it provides a

platform for students to learn about the mining industry and mining focused educational paths, and to

assist them in developing critical workplace skills including: time management, planning and project

implementation, interpersonal and communication skills.

The students are given a number of important responsibilities and work hard both on-site and in

Gogama providing maintenance services around the community. In addition, they are exposed to a

number of different roles on site, learnt in many cases through job-shadowing with various departments

on site. The Project site has thoroughly enjoyed working with the students again, and continue to be

impressed by their initiative, work ethic and enthusiasm for the program .
