    (c)
    is ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Shares shall be deemed to have transferred such Shares to Repadre for cancellation on the date on which the Arrangement becomes effective under the OBCA, but shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Plan of Arrangement had such holder not exercised such right of dissent; or

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

        The estimated reserves and resources for the Sadiola Gold Mine and Yatela Gold Mine have been calculated in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (the "JORC Code"). The JORC Code is accepted for current disclosure rules in Canada under the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101: Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

        The estimated reserves and resources for the Tarkwa Gold Mine and Damang Gold Mine have been calculated in accordance with the South African Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the "SAMREC Code"). Although not specifically accepted under NI 43-101, the Canadian Securities Administrators have granted exemptive orders to permit the use of the SAMREC Code for use in Canadian disclosure documents and such an exemption order is expected to be granted to Repadre for purposes of the disclosure of such reserves and resources in this exhibit prior to the mailing of this Circular.

Definitions

        The definitions of resources under the JORC Code are as follows:

        A "mineral resource" is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. Mineral resources are subdivided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into inferred, indicated and measured categories.

        An "inferred mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological evidence and assumed but not verified geological and/or grade continuity. It is based on information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes which may be limited or of uncertain quality and reliability.

        An "indicated mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed.

B-4



        A "measured mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence. It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological and/or grade continuity.

        The definitions of resources under the SAMREC Code are as follows:

        A "mineral resource" is a concentration (or occurrence) of material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable and realist prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated from specific geological evidence and knowledge, or interpreted from a well constrained and portrayed geological model. Mineral resources are subdivided, in order of increasing confidence in respect of geoscientific evidence, into inferred, indicated and measured categories.

        An "inferred mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological evidence and assumed but not verified geological and/or grade continuity. It is based on information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that may be limited or of uncertain quality and reliability.

        An "indicated mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed.

        A "measured mineral resource" is that part of a mineral resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence. It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological and grade continuity.

        Unless otherwise stated, where the foregoing terms relating to mineral resources are used herein, such terms have the foregoing meanings under the JORC Code, in the case of the Sadiola Gold Mine and the Yatela Gold Mine, and under the SAMREC Code, in the case of the Tarkwa Gold Mine and the Damang Gold Mine. Mineral resources, which are not ore reserves or mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

        The definitions of reserves under the JORC Code are as follows:

        An "ore reserve" is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include feasibility studies, have been carried out, and include consideration of and modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction could reasonably be justified. Ore reserves are subdivided in order of increasing confidence into probable ore reserves and proved ore reserves.

        A "probable ore reserve" is the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances measured mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined.

        The definitions of reserves under the SAMREC Code are as follows:

        A "mineral reserve" is the economically mineable material derived from a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It is inclusive of diluting materials and allows for losses that may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include feasibility studies, have been carried out, including consideration of, and modification by, realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified. Mineral reserves are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence into probable mineral reserves and proved mineral reserves.

        A "probable mineral reserve" is the economically mineable material derived from a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It is estimated with a lower level of confidence than a proved mineral reserve. It is inclusive of diluting materials and assessments, which may include feasibility studies, have been carried out, including consideration of, and modification by, realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. These assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified.

        A "proved mineral reserve" is the economically mineable material derived from a measured mineral resource. It is estimated with a high level of confidence. It is inclusive of diluting materials and allows for losses that may occur when the material is mined. Appropriate assessments, which may include feasibility studies, have been carried out, including consideration of and modification by realistically assumed mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.

SADIOLA GOLD MINE

        The Sadiola Gold Mine consists of the Sadiola open pit operation exploiting the Sadiola gold deposit, associated carbon in-pulp processing plant, and a townsite and infrastructure at Sadiola in Mali. The Sadiola Gold Mine is owned by SEMOS, which owns the mining rights for gold, silver (and related substances) and platinoids on the Sadiola Mining Permit on which the Sadiola Gold Mine is located. The Sadiola Mining Permit covers an area of 302 square kilometres ("km2") and has an initial term of 30 years, expiring in 2024. The shareholders of SEMOS are IAMGold, which owns 38%, AngloGold, formerly Anglo American Corporation of South Africa Limited ("Anglo American"), the operator, which indirectly owns 38%, the Government of Mali which owns 18% and International Finance Corporation ("IFC"), a member of the World Bank Group, which owns 6%.

        As used herein, the term "AngloGold" means AngloGold Ltd. and/or its affiliated and associated companies exclusive of Anglo American, unless otherwise stated, and the term "Anglo American" means Anglo American Corporation of South Africa Limited and/or its affiliated and associated companies exclusive of AngloGold, unless otherwise stated.

        At December 31, 2001 and using a gold price of US$300 per ounce, the proved and probable oxide and sulphidic saprolite reserves at Sadiola were 33.5 million tonnes grading 3.2 grams of gold per tonne ("g/t") for an in-situ content of 106.5 tonnes of gold (3.4 million ounces ("oz")).

        The process plant for the Sadiola Gold Mine was designed to treat 4 million tonnes of soft oxide ore per year but is now treating 5.3 million tonnes of soft oxide ore per year. The Sadiola Gold Mine commenced commissioning in November 1996 (15 months after the start of construction), poured its first gold in December 1996, concluded the commissioning phase in mid February 1997 (one month ahead of schedule) and started commercial production on March 1, 1997. The Sadiola Gold Mine was built at a final capital cost of US$280.1 million (US$23.2 million under budget).

        In 2001, the Sadiola Gold Mine processed 5,328,000 tonnes of ore and produced 536,047 oz of gold at a direct cash cost of US$119/oz and a total cash cost of US$143/oz. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Sadiola Gold Mine processed 3.74 million tonnes of ore and produced 353,852 oz of gold at a direct cash cost of US$140/oz. Total cash costs were US$161/oz (inclusive of Malian production-based taxes and AngloGold's management fee).

        Based on the ore reserves and mineral resources existing at the end of December 2001, the Sadiola Gold Mine is expected to continue in operation until the end of 2008.

        Initial exploration work by IAMGold and subsequent exploration work by AngloGold indicated a number of anomalous targets within the Sadiola Mining Permit that have the potential to add to existing reserves. SEMOS has continued its own exploration programs to investigate and assess the known targets within the Sadiola Mining Permit.

        In March 2001, the Sadiola I property immediately south of the Sadiola Gold Mine was incorporated into the Sadiola Mining Permit, and the Sadiola II property north of the mine was incorporated into the Yatela Mining Permit.

Description of the Sadiola Gold Mine

        The Sadiola Gold Mine is located in the extreme west of the Republic of Mali, West Africa near the Senegal border, approximately 70 km south of Kayes, the regional capital. Access to the Sadiola Gold Mine from Kayes is by a regional road that has been upgraded to an all-weather, laterite road. There is an airstrip at the Sadiola Gold Mine capable of handling light aircraft.

B-7



        Kayes is serviced by rail, road and air from Bamako, the capital of Mali, and from Dakar, the capital of Senegal. Bamako has an international airport with daily flights to many other West African destinations and Europe. There are return flights twice-weekly between Bamako and Kayes. Dakar is a major port of entry to West Africa by sea and air.

        The Sadiola Mining Permit is for an initial term of 30 years, expiring in 2024, and may be extended by order of the President of Mali if mining operations are ongoing. Under the Malian Mining Code, the Sadiola Mining Permit may be cancelled by a decree of the President in certain events, including: a delay of mining for longer than one year without valid reason in a manner prejudicial to the general interest of Mali; a default in the performance of the obligations under, or the failure to maintain proper records as required by, the concession agreement covering the Sadiola Mining Permit; non-payment of taxes; conducting mining activities outside of the Sadiola Mining Permit; or ceasing to provide technical and financial guarantees required in order to proceed satisfactorily with mining activity.

    Geology

        The Sadiola gold deposit is located in the Kenieba-Kedougou inlier that straddles the boundary between Mali and Senegal. The inlier is made up of Lower Proterozoic Birimian metamorphic sediments and volcanics intruded by granitic batholiths.

        The deposit lies to the east of the regional Senegalo-Malian Fault ("SMF") and occurs along the Sadiola Fracture Zone ("SFZ"), a N-S striking, steeply west-dipping shear developed at the contact between impure limestone and greywackes. The SFZ is irregularly intruded by diorite dikes linked to a diorite sill dipping to the south and emplaced into a regional thrust in the impure limestone. The sediments are intensely folded with two phases of folding identified. At depth, mineralization is closely associated with the SFZ and subparallel structures, and with NNE striking splays below the sill. A longitudinal section of the deposit and the localization of high-grade core intercepts show a well developed, shallow (±25 degrees) plunge to the south. Post-tectonic activity along N045 striking steep reverse faults has stacked the deposit to the north, partly undoing the southern plunge. Late normal and/or reverse movement along N-S striking faults have also offset mineralized blocks.

        Pervasive gold mineralization ranging in grade from 2 g/t to 20 g/t occurs along the SFZ over a strike length of more than two kilometres. The mineralization is mainly contained in altered carbonates and to a lesser extent in greywacke, diorite and occasionally in quartz-feldspar porphyry. Primary gold is extremely fine-grained, dominantly less than 15 microns, with rare grains approaching 50 microns.

        The deposit has been subjected to intense and deep weathering to variable depths that reach 220m along the SFZ structure. Weathering results in enhanced gold grades in the low-density saprolitic ore (specific gravity of 1.7). In the deeper portion of saprolite, sulphide mineralization still occurs. The transition from sulphidic saprolite to mineralized hard rock is abrupt.

        The Sadiola gold deposit is considered to be a mesothermal-type gold deposit on the basis of the style of mineralization and the alteration associated with the deposit.

For the Sadiola pit, an 8% grade control reconciliation factor has been applied to grades. This is a factor empirically derived from 2001 production figures by comparing estimated gold production with actual gold production from the plant. Stockpiles have not been factored.

(3)
IAMGold has a 38% interest in these reserves.

(4)
For FE-4, a 20% dilution factor has been applied by adding 20% of the actual ore tonnes at a zero grade. The dilution factor is required because the deposit consists of a steeply dipping (65°) narrow vein (3 to 8m wide).

(5)
Plant recovery is assumed to be 95% for oxides and 81% for sulphidic saprolites.

(6)
The proved ore reserves consist only of stockpiles.

        The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the ore reserves for the Sadiola Gold Mine at December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. The table shows that, despite 16.7 tonnes (actual plant production) of gold being produced during 2001, the gold contained in the total ore reserves increased by 2.7 tonnes.

(2)
This is a calculated depletion from the resource model at cut-off grades of 1.04 g/t for soft oxides, 1.08 g/t for hard oxides and 1.50 g/t for sulphidic saprolites. The actual gold production from the plant was 16.7 tonnes (536,047 oz), some 8% higher than predicted from the model.

(3)
The additions consist of:

7.3t   The ore reserves in the Sadiola pit have had an 8% grade control factor applied.
2.8t   Upper marginal ore, which will be treated at the end of the mine's life, is included. The cut-offs for this marginal ore are 0.89 to 1.04 g/t for soft oxides, 0.93 to 1.08 g/t for hard oxides and 1.30 to 1.50 g/t for sulphidic saprolites.
10.2t   From two satellite oxide pits, FE-3 and FE-4.
8.5t   Additional ore reserves on the north end and east side of the Sadiola pit.
28.8t   Total additions.
(4)
The only subtraction is that resulting from a change in gold recovery from sulphidic saprolite ore (from 85% to 81%) which resulted in a higher cut-off for this material (from 1.12g/t to 1.30g/t) with a resultant decrease in reserves.

B-9


        Although 2001 year-end ore reserves increased compared with the previous year, measured and indicated mineral resources at Sadiola decreased. This is mainly due to a change in methodology in the calculation. For the better defined deposits (Sadiola pit, FE-3 and FE-4), the mineral resources were calculated within a pit shell designed at a US$350/oz gold price. In addition, some sulphide mineral resources were included below the Sadiola pit shell. By applying this economic constraint, this new methodology should more closely reflect the eventual conversion of mineral resources to ore reserves, although a reconciliation factor will probably still need to be applied to the ore reserves to account for the consistent positive bias of actual plant production compared to estimated production on the basis of the resource model. The reconciliation factor applied to the 2001 year-end ore reserves was 8%.

        The following table sets forth the estimated measured and indicated mineral resources for the Sadiola Gold Mine, as of December 31, 2001, as calculated by the mine operator.

    Capital Costs and Financing

        The total capital cost associated with the development of the Sadiola Gold Mine was US$280 million, excluding capitalized interest during the construction period. The project financing for the Sadiola Gold Mine (which was non-recourse to IAMGold) was arranged by Anglo-American.

        SEMOS, through IFC and a consortium of multilateral and bilateral agencies (the "Senior Lenders"), borrowed US$165 million. The final semi-annual loan repayment of US$16 million was made on May 15, 2002. Prior to project completion, which occurred September 1, 1998, the loan bore interest primarily at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 21/4%. Anglo-American provided a completion guarantee to the Senior Lenders, which was released upon completion, and thereafter the interest rate was LIBOR plus 31/2%. As security for amounts advanced under the loan, the Senior Lenders had a first charge on the Sadiola Gold Mine. In addition (i) SEMOS was required to maintain an offshore cash reserve account with an amount equal to six months debt service, which amount could be drawn upon by the Senior Lenders in the event of a default and (ii) the Senior Lenders had a pre-emptive right to purchase any SEMOS assets.

        The loan agreement with the Senior Lenders contained covenants and warranties of SEMOS. The negative covenants provided, among other things, that SEMOS could not declare or pay any dividend or net profit interest or make any distribution on its share capital unless certain financial tests were met.

        Anglo American provided the balance of the funding required to complete construction of the Sadiola Gold Mine in the form of a subordinated loan. The remaining principal amount (including capitalized interest) of US$15 million was repaid on May 16, 2002. All advances to SEMOS by the Senior Lenders and the subordinated loan from Anglo-American and the Government of Mali were non-recourse to IAMGold. Interest on the subordinated loan was fixed at LIBOR plus 2%.

        From 1999 through September 30, 2002, SEMOS declared profit distributions aggregating US$82 million, of which US$31.2 million was received by IAMGold.

    Mining

        The oxide and sulphidic saprolite ores are being exploited by open pit mining techniques. The pit is currently designed to be 1,800m in length with a maximum width and depth of 700m and 140m, respectively.

        During 2001 the plant processed 5.3 million tonnes of ore and achieved an average gold recovery rate of 93.6% for the mix of oxide and sulphidic saprolite ores treated.

        In 2002 the mine is expected to process approximately 5.3 million tonnes of oxide and sulphidic saprolite ores and produce approximately 493,000 oz of gold.

        The total cash operating cost in 2002 is estimated to be US$165/oz of gold produced (assuming an average realized gold price of US$283 per ounce) including government production based taxes and AngloGold's management fee, but excluding profit-related corporate taxes and depreciation. This cost does not include ongoing exploration expenditures of approximately US$6.6 million in 2002 on the Sadiola Mining Permit which will be capitalized.

        Mining operations are carried out by Moolman Brothers, a mining contractor from South Africa with extensive open pit experience. Due to the predominantly unconsolidated nature of the material in the pit, drilling and blasting operations are relatively infrequent as most of the material is dug out directly by hydraulic shovels. Grade control is effected by drilling 10m long vertical holes on a ten by five metre grid. Ore is transported to the ore stockpile, located about 1 km from the pit, and waste is disposed of in dumps adjacent to the pit with minimal haul distances, usually less than 0.5 km.

        The ore stockpiling facility is located between the pit and the process plant and its purpose is two-fold. Primarily, the area allows stockpiles of ore with differing gold grades, viscosity levels (resulting not only from variable clay contents but also from differing clay minerals) and grit contents to be laid down. Ore is reclaimed from the stockpiles and fed into the process plant on a blended basis, thereby contributing to the efficiency of the process plant and maximizing the recovery of gold. The second function of the stockpile is to provide a reserve of ore to feed the process plant at times when pit operations are temporarily affected by external factors such as heavy rains. It is expected that an average of approximately 76% of ore from the pit will be subject to this stockpiling and blending process with the balance being fed directly into the process plant from the pit.

B-11


    Processing

        The process plant consists of two identical parallel circuits, collectively capable of treating approximately 5.3 million tonnes of saprolite ores per year. This twin-stream design not only allows for a degree of flexibility in plant operation but also facilitates the maintenance of a reasonable level of production in the event that a significant item of equipment fails, as such a failure would usually only affect one circuit. This latter consideration is important in a country, such as Mali, where local infrastructure support is virtually non-existent.

        As described above, most of the ore is delivered from the pit to a stockpile/reclaim area, adjacent to the process plant site. The ore blend is reclaimed from the stockpile and, with the ore sourced directly from the pit, is fed to two parallel mineral sizers, a type of crusher designed to handle the softer ores which are found at the Sadiola Gold Mine. Once lumps have been broken down by the mineral sizer, the ore passes to surge bins located ahead of the two semi-autogenous grinding ("SAG") mills. A single regrind mill is incorporated, serving both circuits, to further grind the grit fraction contained in the output from the SAG mills.

        The discharge from the mills is fed to cyclones, the overflow from which goes to the leach circuit where the pulp is subject to cyanide leaching while the underflow goes to the regrind mills. Following leaching, the pulp is fed to carbon-in-pulp (CIP) adsorption tanks where the gold is absorbed onto activated carbon. This "loaded" carbon is stripped of its gold and the gold-bearing solution is pumped to storage tanks. The stripped carbon is regenerated in an oil fired kiln and then re-used.

        The gold is recovered from the solution by electroplating onto stainless steel wool cathodes. The cathodes are washed and the gold-bearing sludge dried and placed in an induction furnace for smelting to produce gold bullion. The original design recovery of gold was 92.5% from the oxide ore and 86% from the sulphidic saprolite ore. Actual gold recovery during 2001 was 94%. The barren slurry, after removal of the gold, is pumped to the tailings dam, located approximately 3 km to the southeast of the process plant, for final disposal.

        In July 2001, the economic viability of modifying the existing Sadiola plant at an estimated capital cost of US$13.7 million to increase the recovery on the sulphidic saprolite ore from approximately 65% to 75% was confirmed. This program, referred to as Phase 1.1, was approved by SEMOS and successfully commissioned in March 2002. Phase 1.1 will provide for pre-oxidation of the slurry feed followed by oxygen enriched high-cyanide leaching. An oxygen enrichment plant provides the oxygen required for Phase 1.1. Two new generator sets were also installed to provide the incremental power required for Phase 1.1.

        On-going test work indicated that Phase 1.1 could be expected to achieve a 76% recovery at a cyanide addition rate of 1 kilogram per tonne of ore processed and up to 79% at a cyanide addition rate of 1.5 kilograms per tonne of ore. Plant scale work to confirm that the detox process can keep cyanide levels in the tailings to less than the international discharge standard at an addition rate of 1.5 kilograms per tonne is continuing.

    Infrastructure

        The Sadiola Gold Mine is located in a remote part of Mali with almost no infrastructure. The operation of a mine and process plant required upgrading of the regional gravel road linking the mine to Kayes.

        A 57 km pipeline from the Senegal River, the only reliable source of water in the region, was built to provide approximately 8 million m3 per year of process water in order to ensure that the mine does not impact on local water resources. Potable water for both the mine operation and the mine townsite is supplied from the pipeline and treated prior to distribution.

        Electrical power is provided through diesel powered generating sets which are capable of meeting an average demand of 16.7 megawatts and a peak demand of 17.7 megawatts. Approximately 2.7 million litres of diesel fuel per month for power generation and mining is being supplied under a five-year contract with Total/ELF. The seven million litre national strategic fuel depot in Kayes is used as back-up storage in case of major road and/or rail disruptions.

        A townsite has been established to the northeast of the Sadiola Gold Mine and provides housing, a primary school, a medical clinic, a park and recreation facilities for mine employees and their dependants, guest accommodation, a post office, a supermarket, sewage treatment facilities and other amenities. There are

504 employees at Sadiola. A microwave telephone system tied to the national grid at Kayes and satellite phones link the mine with the outside world.

    Environment

        Under the concession agreement with the Government of Mali, SEMOS is obligated to minimize the environmental impact of mining activities and is required to rehabilitate the mine site once the mine permanently ceases operation. A baseline program monitors seasonal differences in climatic data, water quality for surface and groundwater, groundwater levels, water usage by villages, and dust and noise. There is also an integrated environmental management system ("EMS") for the mine. The management system ensures that disturbance to the environment is minimal and that environmental policies are adhered to. In November 2001, the annual independent environmental audit of the Sadiola Gold Mine, focusing in particular on the EMS, community relations and closure/rehabilitation, was conducted with satisfactory results. Various recommendations were made to ensure that the EMS did not lose any direction with the advent of sulphidic saprolite processing and the passage of time. The relevant recommendations were adopted.

        Initially, the two principal environmental concerns were the use of cyanide and the potential disruption to human and animal movement as a result of the water pipeline. Cyanide is used in the gold extraction process and the issue of residual cyanide content of the tailings has been addressed. The gold plant and tailings dam are managed as a closed system with water flow being strictly controlled and recycled to the maximum possible extent. Any spillage of contaminated process water inside the plant is contained in a concrete bounded area, from where the water is pumped back into the treatment plant process. The tailings dam is fenced and access to the area is strictly controlled. To eliminate pipeline disruption to animal movements and grazing paths in the region, the pipeline was buried over its total length, which enables animals to freely cross the pipeline at all points.

        Two issues now receiving attention are the closure plan and environmental issues associated with the processing of the sulphidic saprolites ore. An environmental impact assessment ("EIA") was prepared as an integral component of the Phase 1.1 plant modification program to address, among other things, acid mine drainage issues due to the resultant exposure of sulphide bearing material in the pit and placement of such material on waste rock dumps, ore stockpiles and the tailings dam. The EIA has been implemented and the EMS is being revised as appropriate to address all sulphide related impacts.

    SEMOS

        SEMOS is the joint venture company which holds the Sadiola Mining Permit, owns the Sadiola Gold Mine and carries out exploration activities within the Sadiola Mining Permit. The shareholders of SEMOS are IAMGold and AngloGold as to 38% each, the Government of Mali as to 18%, and IFC as to 6%.

        SEMOS is governed by a shareholders agreement (the "SEMOS Shareholders Agreement") to which all the shareholders of SEMOS are a party. Decisions of the board of directors are by majority vote; however, the approval of at least 75% of the directors is required for a number of significant decisions affecting the assets, operations or capitalization of SEMOS, including modification of any mining plan, encumbrance of assets or development of another mine.

        Each shareholder of SEMOS can elect to receive its share of the profits of SEMOS either pursuant to a contractual net profit interest or as dividends. There is no difference in the amount of distributions between the net profit interest and dividends. Each shareholder has the right to elect to receive its distributions in kind, subject to the fulfilment of conditions in the SEMOS Shareholders Agreement. Cash distributions are in United States dollars. AGEM has elected to receive its distributions of profits from SEMOS in the form of a net profit interest.

        SEMOS makes distributions of profits after taking into account repayment of capital, the forecast operating and capital expenses of SEMOS and legal reserves required by applicable corporate law. Operating expenses include all the expenses of SEMOS incurred in connection with its activities including mine operations, depreciation, taxation and legal provisions, but excluding investments.

B-13



        Under the terms of the SEMOS Shareholders Agreement the approval of shareholders holding at least 75% of the issued shares of SEMOS is required for a number of significant decisions affecting the assets, operations or capitalization of SEMOS, including a change in the nature or purpose of SEMOS or a decision to abandon the Sadiola Mining Permit as well as for budget approvals, incurring of indebtedness and profit distributions. A shareholder (other than the Government of Mali) can be forced to relinquish its shares by any other shareholder for breach of the SEMOS Shareholders Agreement, in which event there is a provision for valuation of the terminated party's interest and a buyout at such value.

        IAMGold and AngloGold have agreed to vote together at shareholders meetings with respect to any action requiring 75% shareholder approval or at board meetings with respect to any resolution requiring a similar consent level. There is no requirement to vote together in the event of a conflict of interest with respect to one of the parties voting. If the two parties cannot agree, their shares must be voted against such resolution.

    Operator

        AngloGold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary AngloGold Services Mali S.A. ("ANSER"), is the operator of the Sadiola Gold Mine. In consideration for its services, ANSER is entitled to receive a management fee of 1% of revenue, an engineering fee of 4% on capital expenditures at the Sadiola Gold Mine (with some exclusions) and reimbursement for technical and consultancy services (which are to be competitive and consistent with the standard rates charged by AngloGold to client companies). In addition, ANSER is entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with its services as operator of the Sadiola Gold Mine.

    Mining Taxation and Exchange Regulations

        Net mining profits, as calculated under the Malian Mining Code, are taxable at the rate of 35%. SEMOS was exempt from such taxation prior to March 1, 2002. All operating costs, depreciation and financing charges are deducted in calculating net profits. Under the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), IAMGold is not entitled to a credit for Canadian income tax purposes in respect of taxes on net mining profits paid in Mali.

        A customs services tax of 3% based on the export value of gold production and an ad valorem tax of 3% payable on the value of products sold to refineries or any other buyer less any refining expenses are paid to the Government of Mali.

        When mining operations cease, SEMOS may not dispose of its plant and equipment until having provided the Government of Mali priority in acquiring them at their then estimated value.

    Exploration

        Exploration in 2001 within the Sadiola Mining Permit focussed on the periphery of the open pit, on surface oxide deposits close to the open pit and on deep drilling of the sulphide mineralization below the oxide open pit.

        Exploration for near surface oxide ore close to the process plant commenced in January 1998. The initial work consisted of geochemical surveys and regolith mapping, followed up by drilling. The main targets tested in 2001 were FE-4, FE-2, Sekokoto, FN-2 and FN-Extension. A total of 55,052m of rotary air-core drilling and 3,092m of diamond drilling was conducted in 2001. Expenditures for pit contiguous and satellite oxide exploration in 2001 amounted to US$4.5 million. The exploration budget for near surface oxide ore in 2002 is US$4.6 million.

        In April 1997, a sulphide-drilling program was initiated to test the sulphide gold-bearing mineralization beneath the large saprolite cap. Phase IV of the sulphide drilling program started in August 2001 and was completed in February 2002 with the drilling of 23 holes totaling 7,628m. Drilling was aimed at exploring the sulphide ore potential below the north end of the Sadiola pit and at further defining grade and continuity of the known sulphide mineralization below the core of the deposit in the central and southern part of the pit. Integration of these results with previously acquired data and a revised map of pit geology indicate that the deposit is divided in two by a major north-northeast striking fault. North of this fault, shallow oxide and sulphide mineralization is underlain by intensely hydrothermally altered rock from which drill holes have to date

B-14



intersected only narrow zones of, however, often good grade gold mineralization. In the southern half of the deposit, the oxide ore is underlain by a broad zone of plus 3 g/t mineralization that has been affected by cross-faulting. The results from Phase IV will be assessed before a decision is taken on the start of Phase V. A budget of US$2.0 million has been allocated for this next phase of sulphide drilling.


YATELA GOLD MINE

        The Yatela Mining Permit is located immediately north of the Sadiola Mining Permit. The Yatela Mining Permit is owned by Yatela, covers 195 km2 and has an initial term of 30 years, expiring in 2031. The shareholders of Yatela are SADEX (owned 50-50 by IAMGold and AngloGold) as to 80%, and the Government of Mali as to 20%.

        SADEX, through a predecessor wholly-owned subsidiary, had the right to explore an exploration permit adjacent to the northern boundary of the Sadiola Mining Permit. The northern part of the Yatela property was acquired by SADEX on February 6, 1998 for US$7.5 million from Eltin Limited ("Eltin") of Australia.

        SADEX commissioned a feasibility study which was carried out by AngloGold and presented in June 1999. The feasibility study incorporated extensive engineering and metallurgical studies which investigated a number of different alternatives for mining and treating the resource. It concluded that an open pit mine feeding a 2.5 million tpa heap leach operation was the most financially attractive of the alternatives studied.

        The final feasibility study prepared by AngloGold in November 1999 advanced the heap leach option to a fully tendered capital cost status. The final feasibility study reported that an open pit 2.5 million tpa heap leach operation should be capable of producing 1.2 million ounces from the Yatela deposit over a six year period at an average total cash cost of US$175 per oz (inclusive of the Mali Government's 6% revenue taxes and AngloGold's management fee of 1% of revenue). The cost of the feasibility study was US$8.5 million.

        SADEX received the Yatela Mining Permit from the Government of Mali in February 2000. Based on the final feasibility study, AngloGold and IAMGold approved proceeding with the Yatela Gold Mine after having negotiated the necessary government approvals and authorizations in respect of shareholder agreements, company statutes and modifications to the original Eltin Convention.

Description of Yatela Gold Mine

        The Yatela Gold Mine adjoins the Sadiola Gold Mine to the north and its location and access are the same as for the Sadiola Gold Mine.

        The Yatela Mining Permit is for an initial term of 30 years, expiring in 2031, and may be extended by order of the President of Mali if mining operations are ongoing. The Yatela Mining Permit may be cancelled on the same bases as the Sadiola Mining Permit.

        Gold mineralization at Yatela is predominantly of a supergene nature and occurs mainly as very fine grained free gold in an iron-rich zone which has been interpreted as being formed by karstification of overlying dolomites along a mineralized sheared contact between the dolomites and a diorite intrusive.

    Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources

        A reconciliation of the 2001 year-end ore reserves for Yatela compared to those calculated for the 2000 year-end shows that the contained gold decreased by 6.2 tonnes. This decrease is accounted for by actual production of 4.7 tonnes (152,129 ounces) in 2001 (total of pre- and post-commercial production), together with the gold in process contained in the leach pads. This is partly offset by the addition of upper marginal ore to the reserves.

    Capital Cost and Financing

        On the original Yatela property, the feasibility and capital costs were to be shared equally by IAMGold and AngloGold. On the original SADEX concession areas incorporated into the Yatela Mining Permit, costs were the responsibility of AngloGold, to be later repaid by cash flow from any mine established by SADEX. As a consequence, AngloGold provided 65% of the feasibility and capital cost of the Yatela Gold Mine with

B-16


IAMGold supplying the remaining 35%. The 15% difference between the 50:50 funding level and the actual 65:35 funding level will be treated as an AngloGold shareholder loan to AGEM, which will be repaid pari passu from Yatela Gold Mine cash flow. The AngloGold loan to AGEM is recourse only to Yatela Gold Mine cash flow.

        Feasibility and capital development costs for the Yatela Gold Mine were US$8.5 million and US$98.1 million, respectively. From 2001 through September 30, 2002, Yatela has made repayments aggregating US$16.2 million of invested capital, of which US$5.5 million was received by IAMGold. Based on a gold price of US$300/oz, the estimated payback period for Yatela is 4.3 years from the start of commercial production which occurred on July 4, 2001.

    Mining

        The Yatela deposit is being exploited by open pit mining techniques. The pit is currently designed to be 1,300m in length with a maximum width and depth of approximately 600m and 220m, respectively.

        Ore began to be loaded onto the heap leach pads in March 2001, commissioning started in May 2001 and commercial production commenced on July 4, 2001. From July 4 to December 31, 2001, the Yatela Gold Mine stacked 1.22 million tonnes and produced 130,948 oz of gold at a total cash cost of US$156/oz. (exclusive of pad preparation costs of US$2/oz). The average gold recovery rate for the period was 76.3%.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Yatela Gold Mine stacked 2.04 million tonnes of ore and produced 196,814 oz of gold at an average gold recovery rate of 83%.

        In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the direct cash operating cost was US$154/oz of gold produced before taxes, management fees, financing costs and depreciation. This cost does not include pad construction costs of US$3.1 million (equivalent to US$16/oz) or ongoing exploration costs of US$1.1 million in 2002 on the Yatela Mining Permit, both of which are being capitalized. The total cash operating cost in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was US$176/oz of gold produced (based on an average realized gold price of US$306 per ounce) including government production based taxes and AngloGold's management fee, but excluding capitalized exploration and pad construction costs and profit-related corporate taxes. Based on the ore reserves existing at the end of December 31, 2001, the Yatela Gold Mine has a projected mine life to 2005 or 2006.

        Mining operations are carried out by Moolman Brothers, the same mining contractor employed at the Sadiola Gold Mine. Due to the amount of unconsolidated material in the pit, drilling and blasting operations are less frequent than normal as a substantial portion of the ore and waste is dug out directly by hydraulic shovels. Ore is transported to the ore stockpile, located within 200m from the pit, and waste is disposed of in dumps adjacent to the pit with minimal haul distances, usually less than 1 km.

        The ore stockpiling facility is located between the pit and the process plant and its purpose is two-fold. The area allows stockpiles of ore with differing gold grades and clay contents to be laid down. Ore is reclaimed from the stockpiles and fed into the process plant on a blended basis in respect of both clay content and grade to minimize costs by being able to optimize cement addition rates and to maximize the recovery of gold. The stockpile also provides a reserve of ore to feed the process plant at times when pit operations are temporarily affected by external factors such as heavy rains. It is expected that 100% of the ore from the pit will be subject to this stockpiling and blending process. Relatively little mining is conducted during the rainy season from July to September.

    Processing

        The process plant consists of primary and secondary sizers, feeding an agglomeration drum to produce a pelletized product suitable for heap leaching. Cement is added at a measured rate from cement silos to the output of the primary sizes. Cement is applied at a rate of approximately 17 kg/tonne when the first lift of any pad is being stacked and at a rate of approximately 12 kg/tonne when the second lift of any pad is being stacked. The plant was designed to produce 2.5 million tpa of product for stacking. In 2001, it was demonstrated that the plant could in fact process 2.73 million tpa.

B-17


        The discharge from the agglomeration drum is transported by an overland conveyor to the "grasshopper" conveyor and radial stackers which build each heap leach pad in two lifts. Each pad has a clay base on which a 1.5 mm high-density polyethylene ("HDPE") liner is placed. The HDPE liner is covered by a 600 mm cushion layer of saprolite to protect the liner. Gravel roadways are laid down on the lower lift of each pad in order to allow pads to be stacked and worked on in the rainy season. Cyanide solution is fed through drip irrigation piping on the pads. The pregnant solution is collected after it has percolated through the pad and is eventually pumped through carbon filled columns which strip out the gold. The loaded carbon is transported to the Sadiola Gold Mine for toll treatment of the carbon to produce dore gold bullion for sale and regenerated carbon, which is returned to the Yatela Gold Mine for ongoing use.

        The average life of mine gold recovery rate incorporated in the feasibility study was 85%. Actual gold recovery from the oxide ore was 76.3% during 2001 and 83% for the first nine months of 2002.

        The Yatela Gold Mine has built sufficient excess solution pond capacity to accommodate the effects of the rainy season. A detoxification facility has been installed which uses hydrogen peroxide as required to reduce cyanide levels to international discharge standards. Experience to date indicates that the detoxification process will only be needed in the rainy season if it becomes necessary to discharge excess solutions.

    Infrastructure

        The Yatela Gold Mine is located approximately 25 km north of the Sadiola Gold Mine and is situated close to the main gravel road to Kayes, the regional capital which is approximately 60 km from the Yatela Gold Mine.

        The water needed by the Yatela Gold Mine is sourced from a well field and from boreholes established to dewater the pit in advance of mining. Potable water for both the Yatela Gold Mine operation and the mine townsite is supplied from the well field and treated prior to distribution.

        Electrical power is provided through six diesel powered generating sets located at the Yatela Gold Mine. Approximately 0.29 million litres of diesel fuel per month for power generation and mining is being supplied under a five-year contract with Total/ELF via a 900m3 diesel tank on site. The seven million litre national strategic fuel depot in Kayes is used as back-up storage in case of major road and/or rail disruptions.

        A small townsite has been established to the northwest of the Yatela Gold Mine and provides mainly single quarters, a park and recreation facilities for mine employees and their dependants, sewage treatment facilities and other amenities. Yatela Gold Mine employees have full access to all the facilities at Sadiola. There are 188 employees at the Yatela Gold Mine. A microwave telephone system tied to the national grid at Kayes and satellite phones link the Yatela Gold Mine with the outside world.

    Environment

        Under the concession agreement with the Government of Mali, Yatela is obligated to minimize the environmental impact of mining activities and is required to rehabilitate the mine site once the Yatela Gold Mine permanently ceases operation. An environmental impact assessment report prepared in accordance with Malian and international standards was approved by the Malian authorities and resulted in the Malian authorities issuing the necessary environmental permits.

        A baseline program monitors seasonal differences in climatic data, water quality for surface and groundwater, groundwater levels, water usage by villages and dust and noise. A fully integrated and comprehensive environmental management system has been implemented for the Yatela Gold Mine. The management system ensures that disturbance to the environment is minimal and that environmental policies are adhered to. An independent environmental audit of Yatela will be conducted annually.

    Yatela

        Yatela is the joint venture company which holds the Yatela Mining Permit, owns the Yatela Gold Mine and carries out exploration activities on the Yatela Mining Permit. The shareholders of Yatela are SADEX as to 80% and the Government of Mali as to 20%.

B-18


        Yatela is governed by a shareholders' agreement dated May 27, 2000. Decisions of the directors of Yatela are by a majority vote. The board of directors currently consists of eight directors. SADEX is entitled to appoint six directors and the Government of Mali is entitled to appoint two directors.

        Each shareholder of Yatela is entitled to receive dividends, which may be distributed after payment of the financial obligations of Yatela, including the shareholder loan advanced by SADEX for the development and construction of the Yatela Gold Mine. Dividend distributions by Yatela also take into account the projected operating and capital expenses of Yatela and legal reserves required by applicable corporate law.

        Yatela has appointed ANSER as the operator of the Yatela Gold Mine on the same terms as is described under the heading "Description of Sadiola Gold Mine — Operator Agreement" above.

    Mining Taxation

        Yatela is exempt from taxation of net mining profits, as calculated under the Malian Mining Code, until July 5, 2006. Otherwise the mining taxation applicable to Yatela is the same as for SEMOS.

    Exploration

        No exploration was carried out on the Yatela Mining Permit in 2001. A budget of US$1.1 million is allocated for exploration on the Yatela Mining Permit in 2002. The target areas will be Alamoutala, KW-18, Niamboulama North, the northern pit extension and Dinnguilou.


TARKWA GOLD MINE

        Upon completion of the Arrangement, IAMGold, through Amalco, will indirectly own the aggregate 18.9% interest in GFGL which is currently owned indirectly by Repadre. GFGL has rights to operate and develop a property known as the Tarkwa concession in Ghana, which includes the Tarkwa Gold Mine. Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields"), a South African public company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and the NYSE (through American Depositary Shares), is the operator of the Tarkwa Gold Mine and majority shareholder of GFGL with a 71.1% interest. The Republic of Ghana holds a 10% carried interest in GFGL.

Acquisition of Interest in GFGL

        Pursuant to an agreement dated October 13, 1993, Mutual Resources Limited ("Mutual") acquired Crescent Mining Finance Limited ("Crescent Finance"), a company which held a 5% interest in GFGL. Golden Knight Resources Inc. ("Golden Knight"), a Canadian public company, acquired Mutual in October 1995.

        Pursuant to a letter agreement (the "Cabo Frio Agreement") dated August 16, 1996 and amended on September 24, 1998, between Golden Knight and Cabo Frio Investments A.V.V. ("Cabo Frio"), Golden Knight acquired a 12.5% interest in GFGL. Included in the purchase consideration for the 12.5% interest in GFGL was a future payment to Mining Finance Company International Limited ("Mifinco") of 300,000 common shares of Golden Knight (the equivalent value of Repadre Shares were issued) and US$150,000 on each of May 1, 2000 and May 1, 2001, both of which were paid by Repadre.

        In October 1998, Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields"), the holder of a 71.1% interest in GFGL, announced the decision to inject US$60 million as its share of funds for a recapitalization of GFGL. The cash injection was to be utilized to fund remaining capital construction requirements as well as to reduce and restructure a US$75 million project loan facility. Golden Knight was unable to fund its obligations in connection with the recapitalization of GFGL. Repadre provided US$15 million to Golden Knight which enabled it to maintain its 17.5% interest in GFGL.

        In April 1999, Repadre and Golden Knight agreed to a business combination whereby shareholders of Golden Knight (except US holders who were entitled only to the first option) were offered either (a) 0.125 Repadre Shares and $0.33 in cash or (b) 0.20 Repadre Shares, $0.10 in cash and 0.20 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants"), where each whole warrant entitled the holder to purchase one Repadre Share for $4.00 for three years. Repadre, Golden Knight and Mutual amalgamated effective January 1, 2000 under the name Repadre Capital Corporation. In connection with the acquisition of Golden Knight, Repadre issued

B-19



4,306,188 Repadre Shares and 2,213,449 Warrants (2,178,595 of which were exercised for proceeds of $8.7 million).

        Pursuant to a share purchase and assignment agreement dated March 4, 1999 with Cabo Frio, on April 30, 1999 Repadre purchased from Cabo Frio, for an aggregate purchase price of US$2.2 million, common shares representing a 1.4% interest in GFGL as well all other outstanding obligations of Golden Knight due to Cabo Frio.

Description of Tarkwa Gold Mine

        The following description of the Tarkwa Gold Mine is derived from Gold Fields' registration statement on Form F-1 dated September 4, 2002 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission together with certain public information published by Gold Fields including its annual report for the period from July 2001 to June 2002, and its 2002 report on resources and reserves at Tarkwa. Although Repadre has no knowledge that the information published by Gold Fields relating to the Tarkwa Gold Mine contained in this Circular is inaccurate or incomplete, Repadre is not in a position to independently verify such information.

    Location, Access and Title

        The Tarkwa Gold Mine is located in southwestern Ghana, about 300 km by road west of Accra, the capital. The Tarkwa Gold Mine consists of an open pit operation on the Tarkwa property and the adjacent northern portion of the Teberebie property acquired by GFGL in August 2000. The mine has access to the national electricity grid, water and road infrastructure. Most supplies are trucked in to the property.

        The Tarkwa Gold Mine operates under mining leases covering a total area of approximately 20,700 hectares. The Tarkwa concession is covered by five mining leases each dated April 18, 1997 in respect of operations at the Tarkwa property, and two mining leases dated February 2, 1988 and June 18, 1992, respectively, for the operations at the Teberebie property. The Tarkwa concession mining leases expire in 2027 and the Teberebie property mining leases expire in 2018. The Government of Ghana is entitled to a royalty equal to 3% (increasing, in certain events, to 12%) of mineral revenue, after direct expenses, from the Tarkwa Gold Mine.

    Geology

        Gold mineralization at the Tarkwa Gold Mine is hosted by Proterozoic Tarkwaian metasediments, which unconformably overlie a Birimian greenstone belt sequence. Gold mineralization is concentrated in conglomerate reefs and is similar to deposits in the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa. The deposit comprises a succession of stacked tabular palaeoplacer units consisting of quartz pebble conglomerates. Approximately 10 such separate economic units occur in the concession area within a sedimentary package ranging from 40 meters to 110 meters in thickness. Low grade to barren quartzite units are interlayered between the separate reef units.

        Five separate production areas are centered on the Pepe Anticline, a gently north plunging fold structure that outcrops as a whaleback hill. The sedimentary sequence and interlayered waste zones between the areas of mineralization thicken to the west.

    Production

        The following table sets forth production information for the Tarkwa Gold Mine for the periods indicated:

    Mining

        Mining at the Tarkwa Gold Mine is carried out by open pit method using a contractor fleet operated by African Mining Services ("AMS"), a subsidiary of Henry Walker Eltin. AMS provides employees, supplies and equipment for mining at Tarkwa, including drilling, blasting, ore and waste mining and haulage of material produced from the mining activities. The contract with AMS is scheduled to expire in June 2004. Ore and waste at Tarkwa are mined selectively using hydraulic excavators in backhoe configuration in either 6m or 3m lifts, with the ore loaded into trucks with a payload capacity of approximately 85 tonnes. Ore is delivered to one of two primary crushers.

    Processing

        The Tarkwa Gold Mine currently utilizes conventional heap leach techniques to recover gold. Operations consist of two separate heap leach circuits, the Tarkwa plant and the plant at the Teberebie property acquired in August 2000. The Tarkwa heap leach plant was commissioned in 1997 while the Teberebie heap leach plant was commissioned in 1992. The two plants each have multiple stage crushing and screening processes combined with agglomeration and a combined capacity of approximately 1,217,000 tonnes per month.

B-21


        GFGL is considering adding a conventional crushing and mill and a CIL treatment circuit to complement the existing heap leach plants.

    Environment

        GFGL has an environmental permit for the Tarkwa property. An application for an environmental certificate has been made to the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), which it has been advised will be issued in due course. As part of the process of obtaining an environmental certificate, GFGL has posted a provisional reclamation bond in the amount of US$3 million. GFGL received an environmental permit for the Teberebie property in April 2002.

        GFGL has submitted a fully costed reclamation plan for both the Tarkwa and Teberebie property and is waiting for the EPA's response. GFGL expects to provide one reclamation bond to cover both properties once the reclamation plan discussions are complete.

        On October 16, 2001, a cyanide solution spill was discovered at the Tarkwa property. GFGL identified and corrected the cause of the spill. On October 19, 2001 GFGL reported the leak to the EPA. In consultation with the appropriate government authorities, including the EPA, GFGL created a fund to pay for any costs incurred as a result of the spill in the amount of US$130,000. A writ has been filed against GFGL by the chief and principal members of the nearby community claiming compensation in respect of the spill. It is possible that others could make claims and the total amount of claims against GFGL could be greater than the amount for which GFGL has made provision. GFGL management is not able to predict the final outcome of such claims, although it does not expect the final amount of the claims to be material to GFGL.

    Operator

        Gold Fields is the operator of the Tarkwa Gold Mine. In consideration for its services, Gold Fields receives a management fee equal to 2.5% of GFGL gold revenues per annum. As of June 30, 2002, Tarkwa had approximately 1,300 employees including those employed by outside contractors.

    Mining Taxation and Foreign Exchange

        Ghanaian resident companies are subject to tax on the basis of income derived from Ghana. The standard corporate income tax rate is currently 32.5% and there is also a national reconstruction and development levy, introduced on January 1, 2001, of 2.5% of operating profit. Tax depreciation of capital equipment operates under a capital allowance regime. The capital allowance consists of an initial allowance of 80% of the cost of the asset and the balance depreciated at a rate of 50% per year on a declining balance basis. For the purposes of computing depreciation for the year following its acquisition, 5% of the cost of the asset is included in the balance. Under the memorandum of agreement entered into between the Government of Ghana and GFGL, the government has agreed that no withholding tax shall be payable on any dividend or capital repayment declared by GFGL which is due and payable to any shareholder of GFGL not normally resident in Ghana.

        Ghana's exchange control laws require permission from the Ghanaian authorities for transactions involving foreign currency. Under an agreement between GFGL and the Government of Ghana, GFGL is currently obligated to repatriate 20% of its revenue to Ghana to either use such amounts in Ghana or maintain them in a Ghanaian bank account.


DAMANG GOLD MINE

        Upon completion of the Arrangement, IAMGold, through Amalco, will indirectly own the aggregate 18.9% interest in Abosso which is currently owned indirectly by Repadre. Abosso has rights to operate and develop a property known as the Damang concession in Ghana, which includes the Damang Gold Mine. Gold Fields is the operator of the Damang gold mine and the majority shareholder of Abosso with a 71.1% interest. The Republic of Ghana holds a 10% carried interest in Abosso.

        Repadre acquired its 18.9% interest in Abosso on January 23, 2002 pursuant to an acquisition agreement dated October 20, 2001 among Repadre, GFGL, Ranger Minerals Limited ("Ranger"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, and Abosso Gold Holdings S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ranger which

B-22



was the vendor of the interest. The aggregate purchase price for the 90% interest in Abosso and for the assignment of A$75.7 of indebtedness of Abosso to Ranger consisted of A$63.3 million in cash contributed by Gold Fields and 4.0 million Repadre Shares contributed by Repadre giving Repadre an 18.9% interest in Abosso and 21% of the shareholder loans.

Description of Damang Gold Mine

        The following description of the Damang Gold Mine has been derived from the Abosso Report prepared for Repadre by Abosso and filed by Repadre on SEDAR on April 24, 2002 together with certain public information published by Gold Fields including its registration statement on Form F-1 dated September 4, 2002 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, its annual report for the period from July 2001 to June 2002 and its 2002 report on resources and reserves at Damang. Although Repadre has no knowledge that the information published by Gold Fields relating to the Damang Gold Mine contained in this Circular is inaccurate or incomplete, Repadre is not in a position to independently verify such information.

    Location, Access and Title

        The Damang Gold Mine is located 40 km north of the Tarkwa Gold Mine. It has good access roads and an established infrastructure. The property is approximately 280 km by road west of the capital, Accra, and 140 km by road from the port of Takoradi on the Atlantic coast. Most supplies are trucked in to the property. The Damang Gold Mine has access to the national electricity grid.

        The Damang property is covered by a mining lease granted to Abosso by the Government of Ghana on April 19, 1995. The mining lease was amended on April 4, 1996 and now covers 52.39 km2. The mining lease was granted for a period of 30 years and will expire on April 19, 2025. In addition to its current 10% interest, the Government of Ghana has the right to purchase an additional 20% interest in the Damang Gold Mine at a fair market price. The Government of Ghana is also entitled to a royalty equal to 3% (increasing, in certain events, to 12%) of mineral revenue, after direct expenses, from the Damang Gold Mine.

    Geology

        The geology of the Damang Gold Mine is that of a stockwork sulphide deposit. The deposit occurs as hydrothermal mineralization associated with dominantly east-dipping thrusts and sub-horizontal quartz veins.

        The deposit is hosted by metasediments and metadolerites of the Lower Proterozoic Tarkwaian System. The Tarkwaian system is confined to a northeasterly trending synclinorium, the Ashanti Belt, known to extend over 200 kilometres strike. The Abosso-Damang area lies close to the eastern margin of this structural basin, an area that features a number of major regional fold structures including the Damang Anticline.

        The Damang gold deposit is located predominantly on the eastern limb of the Damang Anticline. Mapping shows this structure to be a tight fold, plunging shallowly toward the north-northeast. The western limb of the anticline is displaced downward and to the south by a major fault. The Damang mineralization is located to the east of this fault, in and immediately east of the fold axis.

        Host rocks at Damang exhibit a number of types of alteration. A pervasive pink alteration is widespread in the Huni Sandstone and has also been observed in Banket sandstone and metadolerite. Pink coloration is caused by a matrix of hematite-stained albite, usually accompanied by minor sericite and carbonate. The assemblage suggests reaction with hot, oxidizing fluids. Similar alteration of sandstones is observed much farther south at Tarkwa, where no hydrothermal gold mineralization is apparent, indicating that this alteration is a regionally extensive phenomenon unrelated to gold mineralization.

        Metadolerites show localised bleaching and such bleached zones are commonly mineralized, though the dominant sulphide is usually pyrite rather than pyrrhotite. The style of alteration is similar to that accompanying many Archaean basaltic-hosted gold deposits in greenschist facies terrains and is the result of reaction with strongly reducing fluids.

B-23



        Paleoplacer Banket conglomerate mineralization exists in the deposit but does not represent a significant contribution of metal. Where Banket conglomerate mineralization is not overprinted with hydrothermal mineralization it exhibits grades of around 1 g/t gold.

        Silicification and quartz veining are the most obvious and widespread effects accompanying gold mineralization. The majority of gold is intimately associated with pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization which occurs in selvages around quartz veins. The veins themselves rarely contain sulphides but do occasionally show coarse gold particles associated with accessory minerals. Thin seams of fine chlorite-carbonate commonly occur on vein margins and it is in such seams that visible gold is usually observed.

        Mineralized alteration selvages commonly extend for between 30cm and 1.5m either side of quartz veins, such that large volumes of continuous mineralization form in areas of intense veining. Auriferous pyrite and pyrrhotite occurs predominantly as coarse crystals up to 1cm disseminated throughout the vein selvage. These crystals usually show a distinct zoning: an internal remnant of pyrite surrounded by a selvage of pyrrhotite. The pyrrhotite may then be surrounded by a very thin replacement rim of siderite. Most gold occurs as particles 25-70um diameter located on pyrite and pyrrhotite cracks and grain boundaries and the proportion of sulphides visible in samples is a good guide to gold grade.

        The only other sulphide mineral observed to date is very small amounts of fine chalcopyrite, usually found in metadolerite and not necessarily associated with pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization.

        The chemical characteristics of hosts rocks appear to have played little role in controlling gold deposition. The contribution by pre-existing paleoplacer gold to the hydrothermal mineralization is not known.

    Mining

        Mining at the Damang Gold Mine is carried out by open pit method using a contractor fleet operated by AMS. AMS has held the earth moving contract since the commencement of operations in November 1997. The contract with AMS is scheduled to expire in December 2003.

        Fresh rock and transitional zones are drilled and blasted in 6m lifts with excavation in 3m flitches. Oxide material is excavated without the requirement of blasting. Ore and waste is loaded by 3 hydraulic excavators in backhoe configuration. The truck fleet consists of 13 rear-dump Caterpillar 777Ds with a payload capacity of around 90 tonnes.

        Mining is carried out for 12 consecutive days with a 2 day lay-off in a 14 day cycle. There are two shifts consisting of a 10 hour day shift and an 8 hour nightshift.

        Ancillary equipment includes bulldozers, graders, water trucks and service truck vehicles supporting the drill-and-blast and haulage operations through vehicle, road, and bench maintenance, dust and erosion control.

        Waste material is hauled to planned dumps located proximal to the pit. The mine has a progressive reclamation plan whereby as areas become inactive, they are immediately rehabilitated through contouring, replacement of topsoil, seeding and planting and fertilization.

        A number of stockpiles have been established over the years to blend and smooth mill processing. Stockpiles are categorized according to grade (run of mine ore greater than 1.6 g/t, medium grade ore from 1.1 g/t to 1.6 g/t, and low grade ore less than 1.1 g/t) and according to ore type (laterite, oxide, and primary ore). Milling is based on a schedule of 3.0 million tpa of fresh ore and 1.65 million tpa of oxide ore.

    Processing

        The milling circuit was commissioned in November 1997 at the design throughput of 3 million tpa. A number of modifications and optimizations allowed an increase in the annual throughput to close to 5 million tpa. The plant is a conventional two-stage grinding circuit, with pebble crusher and gravity concentration, followed by a carbon-in-leach ("CIL") recovery process. The average throughput of the plant is currently 600 tph (14,000 tpd) with an average availability of 92%.

        The plant is processing a blend of hard, unweathered ore (phyllite, dolerite and sandstone) and of highly weathered oxides (laterite, saprolite). The current blend is varying between 60% and 75% fresh rock, depending on the ore grade, availability of the ore and state of the SAG liners.

        The crushing plant reduces the run-of-mine ore from 80% passing 800mm to about 80% passing 200mm. The ore from the crushing plant is then discharged to the reclaim ore stockpile with a live capacity of about 10,000t and total of 100,000t. The ore then progresses to the milling section which consists of a SAG mill and a

B-25



ball mill. Cyanide is added at the feed of the ball mill to maximize the gold dissolution during the grinding and reduce the accumulation of free gold in this part of the circuit.

        Gold dissolution is completed in the CIL section and is subsequently recovered with activated carbon. In the thickening area of this section, much of the cyanide and lime in the liquid component can be recovered and re-used in the plant. Part of the thickener overflow is diverted to the plant while the remainder is sent to the process water dam where it is mixed with the tails return water and pumped back to the plant.

        In the elution and gold recovery section, the adsorbed gold on the carbon is returned into solution and is then electroplated onto stainless steel cathodes. Periodically, the gold loaded stainless steel is removed from the electro-winning cells to remove the plated gold into a hopper where it is filtered and the sludge smelted after it has been dried in an oven.

    Tailings Disposal

        Waste material from the process is passed through tailings water thickener to recover water and reagents before it is pumped to the new East tailings dam located approximately 2 km east of the processing plant. Total capacity of the East dam is to be 30 million cubic metres and it is expected that this dam will provide tailings disposal facilities until the proposed end of mine life on current predictions.

        The old South tailings dam is located 2.5 km to the southeast of the process plant. Although it is no longer used for tailings disposal, return water is still occasionally used at the plant from this dam.

        Both tailings dams are located in areas with a number of natural ridges and hills which have significantly reduced the earthworks required for the dam constructions. The tailings dams have been designed by specialist consultants to contain extreme rainfall events. The designs require that a minimum freeboard of 1m be maintained at all times during the operational life of the mines in order to provide sufficient storage to contain a 1 in 100 year rainfall event over a 72 hour period. The drying out of the deposited tailings is maximized by rotating the discharge point around the dam perimeters. This method of disposal allows the tailings to gain a higher density and strength, and will assist in minimizing seepage.

        The tailings dam walls are earth and the crests are approximately 26m. The walls of the dams are keyed into the embankments. Wells have been drilled into the walls to monitor possible leakage. In addition piezometers have been fitted to the dam walls to monitor any movement.

    Environment

        Abosso has an environmental permit for the Damang Gold Mine. Abosso has applied for an environmental certificate for the Damang Gold Mine, which it has been advised will be issued in due course, and has posted a provisional reclamation bond in the amount of US$2 million.

        Abosso has an aggressive rehabilitation plan for the mine and has a program of continuous rehabilitation for areas no longer required for the operation of the project. To date over 90 hectares of land is under rehabilitation and the program for the rehabilitation of the south tailings storage facility was initiated in 2001.

    Operator

        Gold Fields is the operator of the Damang Gold Mine. In consideration for its services, Gold Fields receives a management fee of US$1.5 million per annum. As of June 30, 2002, the Damang Gold Mine had approximately 900 employees including those employed by outside contractors.

    Mining Taxation and Foreign Exchange

        The mining taxation and foreign exchange regulations applicable to the Damang Gold Mine are the same as for the Tarkwa Gold Mine. Under the deed of warranty between Abosso and the Government of Ghana, Abosso is currently obligated to repatriate 25% of its revenue to Ghana. The level of repatriation is subject to renegotiation every two years and has increased from the initial rate of 20% set in 1996. It has been more than two years since the last set of negotiations with the Bank of Ghana. The foreign exchange retention agreement for Abosso is in the process of being revised to, among other things, update the parties to the agreement. During

B-26


the first half of 2000 the Bank of Ghana requested mining companies, including Abosso, to repatriate an additional 25% of their revenues to foreign currency accounts with local banks. Abosso was asked to do so by letter from the then Minister of Finance. Abosso has not heard anything further from either the Bank of Ghana or the Minister of Finance since that time. While a significant portion of Abosso's revenue is repatriated to Ghana to cover various operating and capital expenditures, a large increase in the percentage required to be repatriated could adversely affect Abosso's ability to use the cash flow from the Damang Gold Mine outside Ghana, including the funding of dividends and the repayment of principal and interest on indebtedness.


ROYALTIES

        Upon completion of the Arrangement, IAMGold, through Amalco, will hold, directly or indirectly, active royalty interests and related debt instruments on mineral properties located in Canada, Nicaragua, South Africa, Mexica, Bolivia and Honduras which interests and instruments are currently held by Repadre. IAMGold, through Amalco, will also hold, directly or indirectly, inactive royalty interests and related debt instruments on mineral properties located in the Canada, United States, Burkina Faso and Ghana.

        The foregoing royalties are typically in the form of net smelter return ("NSR") royalties, but may also be net profit interest ("NPI") royalties or gross sales royalties. NSR royalties and gross sales royalties provide payments from revenues before the deduction of most of the operating expenses that have been incurred by the owner of the mine. NPI royalties provide payments based upon the net profits of the mine or the owner of the mine.

        The following is a description of these royalty interests.

Lac de Gras Diamond Royalty — Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada

        IAMGold will hold a 1% royalty (the "Lac de Gras Royalty") in respect of diamond production from any claims staked by Dr. Christopher Jennings on his own behalf or on behalf of any person for whom Dr. Jennings acted as a consultant during the period from November 15, 1991 to November 15, 1992 in the Lac de Gras area of the Northwest Territories between longitude 108 degrees and 112 degrees west and between latitude 64 degrees and 65 degrees north. During the relevant time period, Dr. Jennings was involved in staking certain claims (the "Lac de Gras Claims") in the Mackenzie Mining District of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut which are subject to the Lac de Gras Royalty. The Lac de Gras Claims include the Diavik diamond property in which Aber Diamond Corporation ("Aber"), a public company listed on the TSX, owns a 40% interest and Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. ("DDM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto plc ("RTZ"), owns a 60% interest. The mining complex on the Diavik property is currently nearing completion at an estimated capital cost of $1.3 billion and initial production has been announced to start early in 2003.

        RTZ, DDM and Aber initiated a review process in 2001 regarding the history of royalties on the Lac de Gras Claims, including the Lac de Gras Royalty held by Repadre. The review process has not yet been completed. At this time, Repadre has been assured that no position adverse to Repadre has been taken by RTZ, DDM or Aber.

Williams Royalty — Ontario, Canada

        IAMGold will own 720 units (the "Williams Units") of The Williams Royalty Trust (the "Williams Trust"), which has a 1% NSR royalty (the "Williams Royalty") on the minerals recovered from the Williams Mine. The Williams Mine, one of Canada's largest gold producers, is located in the Hemlo Gold Camp, immediately north of Lake Superior. The Williams Mine is owned by Barrick Gold Corporation, a public company listed on a number of stock exchanges including the TSX and the NYSE, and Teck Cominco Limited, a public company listed on the TSX. There are currently outstanding 1,000 units of the Williams Trust and, accordingly, Repadre is entitled to receive 72% of the Williams Royalty payments. As of September 30, 2002, Repadre had recorded aggregate royalty revenue of $6,312,300 from the Williams Royalty.

        As consideration for the Williams Units, Repadre issued to the Vendor, 3284794 Canada Inc. (the "Williams Vendor"), $7,200,000 principal amount of convertible subordinated debentures (the "Williams Debentures") and 500,000 common share purchase warrants (which expired unexercised). The Williams Debentures bore interest at a rate of 2% per annum payable annually, matured on October 31, 2001 and were

B-27



repayable by Repadre at any time. The Williams Debentures were convertible, at the option of the holder, into Repadre Shares on the basis of one Repadre Share for each $6.50 principal amount converted.

        Repadre also loaned $4,000,000 (the "Williams Loan") to the Williams Vendor. Interest on the Williams Loan was calculated at a rate of 2% per annum payable annually. As security for the repayment of the Williams Loan, the Williams Vendor pledged to Repadre the Williams Debentures, 55% of the Repadre Shares that it received from time to time upon the conversion of the Williams Debentures and 55% of any principal repayment of the Williams Debentures. The Williams Loan matured on October 31, 1999 and the outstanding principal amount was used to make a $4,000,000 principal prepayment on the Williams Debentures. As at June 30, 2002, the Williams Debentures were fully repaid.

El Limon Royalty — Nicaragua

        IAMGold will have a royalty (the "Limon NSR Royalty") originally calculated at the rate of 5% and subsequently reduced to 3% of net smelter returns on all mineral production from property located near El Limon, Nicaragua, which includes the Limon gold mine and the property within a 10 km radius of the El Limon mill (the "Limon Property"). The Limon Property is owned by Triton Minera S.A. ("Minera"). Black Hawk Mining Inc. ("Black Hawk"), a public company listed on the TSX, owns 100% of Triton Mining Corporation ("Triton") which indirectly owns 95% of Minera. The Limon Property is located in the Limon Mining District, which is approximately 100 km northwest of Managua. As of September 30, 2002, Repadre had recorded aggregate royalty revenue of $6,655,200 from the Limon NSR Royalty.

        In connection with the reduction of the Limon NSR Royalty, Repadre agreed that, so long as the price of gold was less than US$350 per ounce, any royalty payments from December 1, 1997 to June 30, 2000 could be satisfied on a quarterly basis by the issuance of common shares of Black Hawk. Under this arrangement, Repadre received 21,044,980 common shares of Black Hawk. Subsequent to June 30, 2000, Limon NSR Royalty payments reverted to cash and/or gold bullion.

        Also in connection with the reduction of the Limon NSR Royalty, Repadre was granted a 1.5% NSR royalty on Triton's 80% share of production from the Manantial Espejo project in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. If Triton did not develop the Manantial Espejo property, Triton was to pay Repadre $1,250,000 and, if Triton developed the property, Repadre had the option to sell the 1.5% NSR royalty to Triton for a payment of US$2,000,000. The $1,250,000 became due in January 2002 and, pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 31, 2001, Repadre and Triton amended the payment schedule so that payments would be received throughout 2002. As at September 30, 2002, US$74,000 remained outstanding and is schedule for receipt in December 2002. On March 25, 2002 Repadre sold the NSR royalty on the Manantial Espejo project for US$200,000.

Rex Royalty — South Africa

        IAMGold will own a gross sales royalty interest (the "Rex Royalty Interest") in the sale of all minerals (including diamonds) from the three diamond mines in South Africa owned by Rex Diamond Mining Corporation ("Rex Canada"), Bellsbank Consolidated Diamond (Pty.) Ltd. ("Bellsbank"), Loxton Exploration (Pty.) Ltd. ("Loxton"), Rex Diamond Corporation (Pty.) Ltd. ("Rex South Africa"), Rex Diamond Company N.V., Rex Mining Corporation Limited and Carrig Diamonds Ltd. (collectively, the "Rex Group"), known as the Bellsbank Mine, the Rex Mine and the Ardo Mine, as well as any other properties acquired by Bellsbank, Loxton and Rex South Africa (collectively, the "Rex Properties"). The consideration paid for the Rex Royalty Interest was US$1,625,000. In 1996, Repadre paid an additional US$2,250,000 to increase the rate at which the Rex Royalty Interest is calculated.

        The Rex Royalty Interest is structured as an investment by Repadre in Rex Diamonds (Barbados) Inc. ("Rex Barbados"), a Barbados corporation. The common shares of Rex Barbados are owned by Rex Canada, a public company listed on the TSX, and the preference shares of Rex Barbados are owned by Repadre. The preference shares provide for mandatory dividend payments from time to time calculated at a rate of 2.5% of gross sales of all minerals from the Rex Properties. Rex Canada has guaranteed the obligation of Rex Barbados to pay the dividend on the preference shares. As at September 30, 2002, dividends in an aggregate amount of $1,521,200 had been recorded by Repadre from Rex Barbados.

B-28



        The Bellsbank and Ardo Mines are located 80-100 km northwest of Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa. The Rex Mine is located 275 km southwest of Johannesburg in the Orange Free State Province in South Africa. The Ardo Mine is the only mine currently in production. The Bellsbank and Rex Mines are on a care and maintenance basis.

Magistral Royalty — Mexico

        IAMGold will have a sliding scale NSR royalty (the "Magistral Royalty") from all minerals recovered from various properties in Mexico (the "Magistral Property"). The Magistral Royalty will be calculated initially at the rate of 1% until royalty payments in respect of 30,000 ounces of gold have been received, 3.5% on the next 350,000 ounces of gold and thereafter at a rate of 1%. The Magistral Property is owned by Compania Minera Pangea, S.A. De C.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Queenstake Resources Ltd., a public company listed on the TSX, and Midwest Mining Co., a private company. The purchase price for the Magistral Royalty was $3,400,000.

        Construction on the Magistral Property has been completed and the first production of gold occurred in October 2002. Initial royalty payments are expected early in 2003.

Don Mario Royalty — Bolivia

        IAMGold will have a 3% NSR royalty on all minerals produced from the Don Mario gold-copper property located 70 km northeast of the village of San Juan in the province of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The Don Mario property is indirectly owned by Orvana Minerals Corporation ("Orvana"), a public company listed on the TSX. The aggregate purchase price for the royalty was US$4,000,000. As additional consideration Repadre received 750,000 share purchase warrants of Orvana with a 30-month term, exercisable at $0.62 per share. The exercise price was reduced to $0.18 per share in August 2001 and the warrants were exercised by Repadre in February 2002. In February 2001, Repadre advanced US$50,000 of secured bridge financing to Orvana which was repaid in early 2002.

        The Don Mario Property is currently in the construction phase, with completion expected by mid 2003.

Vueltas del Rio Royalty — Honduras

        IAMGold will have a 2% NSR royalty (the "Vueltas Royalty") on all minerals produced from various properties located in northwestern Honduras (the "Vueltas Properties"). Royalty payments received in respect of base metals produced from the Vueltas Properties must be paid to a third party. The Vueltas Properties are owned by Centroamerica De Reprecentationes s. De R.L. De C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geomaque Explorations Ltd. ("Geomaque"), a public company listed on the TSX. Payments of the Vueltas Royalty are guaranteed by Geomaque. In the case of gold, the Vueltas Royalty rate increases by 1% for each US$100 increase in the price of gold per ounce above US$400 per ounce to a maximum rate of 5%. Repadre purchased the Vueltas Royalty for US$1,225,000.

        Construction of the mining facilities at the Vueltas Properties was completed and the first bar of gold was poured in March 2001. Difficulties during startup led to a shutdown at the Vueltas Properties and a financial restructuring of Geomaque. The operation restarted production in April 2002. The economic viability of the property is not yet assured; however, royalty payments of $350,100 were received in September 2002 in respect of gold production for the period from March 2001 to June 2002.

Dolores Royalty — Mexico

        IAMGold will have a 1.25% NSR royalty (the "Dolores Royalty") on gold produced from various properties located in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico (the "Dolores Property") owned by Minefinders Corporation Ltd. ("Minefinders"), a public company listed on the TSX. The aggregate purchase price for the Dolores Royalty was US$650,000.

        The Dolores Property is currently at the pre-feasibility stage with Minefinders continuing to conduct exploration and development activities.

B-29



Joe Mann Royalty — Quebec, Canada

        Pursuant to a royalty agreement dated April 23, 1993 and an amending agreement dated June 30, 2001 (the "Meston Amending Agreement") with Meston Resources Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Campbell Resources Inc. ("Campbell"), a public company listed on the TSX, IAMGold will hold an NSR royalty (the "Joe Mann Royalty") on gold, silver and copper production from a mining property located approximately 64 km south of Chibougamau, Quebec (the "Joe Mann Property"). The Joe Mann Property includes the precious metals mine known as the Joe Mann mine that restarted operations in March 2002 after shutting down in 2000. The purchase price paid by Repadre for the Joe Mann Royalty was $3,000,000. As of December 31, 2001, Repadre had recorded aggregate royalty revenue in the amount of $4,113,200 in respect of the Joe Mann Royalty.

        Under the Meston Amending Agreement, Repadre received 800,000 common shares of Campbell in consideration for reducing the Joe Mann Royalty rate on gold to: (i) 1.5% of net smelter returns when the price of gold is US$325 per ounce or greater, increasing by 1 basis point for every US$1.00 increase in the price of gold above US$325 per ounce to a maximum of 2% of net smelter returns; and (ii) once $500,000 has been received under the 1.5% rate outlined in the preceding clause, the royalty rate will reduce to 1% of net smelter returns when the gold price is US$350 per ounce or greater. With respect to copper and silver, the Joe Mann Royalty is 2% on production of copper in excess of 5,000,000 pounds per year and 2% of net smelter returns on production of silver in excess of 1,000,000 ounces per year. At current production levels, no royalty will be payable on copper or silver.

Other Royalties

    Golden Bear Royalty — British Columbia, Canada

        IAMGold will own an NSR royalty (the "Golden Bear Royalty") on mineral production from property (the "Golden Bear Property") consisting of a mining lease and 48 mining claims located in northwestern British Columbia, approximately 140 km west of Dease Lake and 160 km southeast of Atlin, British Columbia. The Golden Bear Property is owned by North American Metals Corp., a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX Venture") of which Wheaton River Minerals Ltd., a public company listed on the TSX, is the majority shareholder. The purchase price paid by Repadre for the Golden Bear Royalty was $1,000,000.

        The Golden Bear Property includes the Golden Bear Mine, which is currently in the decommissioning phase. The Golden Bear Royalty was initially calculated at a rate of 7.5% of net smelter returns from all minerals recovered from the Golden Bear Property, but in December 1993 was reduced to a rate of 2% of net smelter returns after Repadre had received aggregate payments under the Golden Bear Royalty of more than $1,000,000. Repadre has recorded aggregate royalty revenue in the amount of $3,525,800.

    Combined Metals Royalty — Nevada, USA

        IAMGold will own an 0.3% NSR royalty (the "Gabbs Valley Royalty") on mineral production from property (the "Gabbs Valley Property") consisting of 32 square miles of mining leases and claims located in Gabbs Valley, Nevada. The Gabbs Valley Property is owned by Combined Metals Reduction Company ("Combined Metals"). In conjunction with acquiring the Gabbs Valley Royalty, Repadre advanced US$1,265,000 (the "Combined Metals Loan") to Combined Metals. Interest on the Combined Metals Loan is calculated at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable quarterly. The Combined Metals Loan is secured by a first charge on the Gabbs Valley Property. The Combined Metals Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, matured on September 30, 1999. Interest on the loan is now calculated at the default rate of 12% per annum. Repadre has taken steps to foreclose on the properties securing the loan. Foreclosure proceedings may be lengthy as Combined Metals has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States.

    Miscellaneous

        IAMGold will hold a number of royalties that will not be reflected on its consolidated balance sheet. These royalties represent historical investments of Repadre which were subsequently written off or where an exploration property was converted into a royalty. The write-offs occurred primarily during 1998 and 1999, a period of low commodity prices which caused the owners of the underlying property interests to cease

B-30


production or terminate their projects for economic reasons. These historical investments included royalties on the Buffalo Valley and Relief Canyon projects in Nevada, the Gold Road mine in Arizona, the Itos project in Bolivia, and the Lluvia de Oro mine in Mexico. The exploration properties that were converted to royalties were acquired in 1999 in connection with the Golden Knight acquisition. These properties are the two Seguenega permits in Burkino Faso, the Night Hawk Lake joint venture in Canada and the Manso Nkwanta joint venture in Ghana.


EXPLORATION PROJECTS

        The following is a brief description of the exploration properties in which IAMGold has an interest, all of which are located in West Africa and South America.

Senegal

    Bambadji and Daorala/Boto Exploration Permits

        The Bambadji and Daorala/Boto permits are located in the southeast of Senegal approximately 800 km east-southeast of Dakar, Senegal. The permits are underlain by Lower Proterozoic granites and Birimian volcano sedimentary rocks of similar age and composition to those which host many West African gold deposits. The Senegal-Mali Fault (SMF), a regional shear zone, traverses the properties. The early exploration on the permits was carried out by a joint venture but, since 2000, the work has been funded and carried out by IAMGold. In 2001, exploration continued to be focussed on the structural corridor to the east of the regional Senegal-Mali fault system. Geochemical anomalies were followed up by pitting or trenching and then, if warranted, by drilling.

        IAMGold budgeted US$1.4 million for exploration in 2002 on the Bambadji and Daoralo/Boto properties. In the first half of the year, 13 diamond drill holes (1,716m), two reverse circulation (RC) holes (100m) and 99 rotary air blast holes (RAB) (1,833m) were drilled on the properties. A follow-up RC and RAB program of drilling commenced at the beginning of December 2002 and is due to be completed by the end of December 2002.

Ecuador

    Norcay Project

        Geological mapping and soil sampling at the Norcay project has identified a low-sulphidation gold epithermal vein system. A ground magnetic survey is being carried out to more clearly define drill targets in areas with deep soil cover.

    Quimsacocha Project

        A joint venture consisting of major mining companies previously evaluated the Quimsacocha prospect for bulk mineable Yanacocha-type mineralization. IAMGold subsequently optioned the mineral rights and acquired all of the previous exploration data from one of the joint venture participants. Geological mapping and geochemical and geophysical surveys at Quimsacocha have confirmed that high-grade gold mineralization associated with enargite-pyrite veins intersected in four boreholes (drilled before IAMGold acquired the property and not evaluated by the previous joint venture) might be indicative of a major, but poorly exposed, epithermal vein system. The geology of the system has many similarities to the Lepanto (Philippines) epithermal gold-copper deposit from which four million ounces of gold, 12.6 million ounces of silver and 0.9 million tonnes of copper were produced. A first phase of drilling (1,352m in 6 holes) was completed in October and as a result of this work the main potential at Quimsacocha is now seen to be large flat-lying bodies of lower-grade mineralization. This style of mineralization is consistent with the interpretation of a TEM geophysical survey over the area. Further drilling is planned for 2003.

    Retazos Project

        The Retazos project was initiated in 1999 to gain a dominant mineral rights position in order to systematically explore the Zaruma-Portovelo gold district in southwestern Ecuador. The district consists of a

B-31


gold-bearing vein system covering an area of 15 km by 2 km from which more than 4.5 million ounces of gold have been produced. Main production in the district came from the Portovelo mine, which was operated by an American company from 1898 to 1950. IAMGold first gained control of the central and northern portion of the district and initial work was focused in those areas, while mineral rights were being consolidated over the Portovelo mine area. IAMGold has now established a dominant mineral rights position and has also recovered most of the old mine plans, which were distributed among the many previous mineral rights holders.

        In 2001, three target areas to the north of the Portovelo mine were tested by 17 surface and 10 underground holes totalling 10,200m of core drilling. Most of the holes intersected the targeted veins, but gold values were low. Drilling (3,100m in four surface and three underground holes) in the Portovelo mine area intersected two new mineralized veins to the west of the old mine although gold valves were low. Drilling to test the extension of one of the veins previously exploited in the Portovelo mine intersected weak gold mineralization results.

        Toward the end of 2001, information from all of the drilling as well as underground and surface mapping and sampling was synthesized with data from the old mine plans. This resulted in the creation of a three-dimensional geological and grade model of the district, leading to a complete structural reinterpretation and a new geochemical assessment of the mineralized system. The model has helped to reveal the controls on gold mineralization and has identified an important drill target to the south and west of the Portovelo mine. IAMGold plans to either drill the new target or seek a joint venture partner.

    Filon Project

        Geophysical and geochemical surveys to the north of the Zaruma-Portovelo vein system (Retazos project) identified copper-gold porphyry targets. In joint venture with Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited ("Rio Tinto") a program of widely spaced core drill holes was started in November 2001. Drilling of seven holes (2,085m) was completed in March 2002. After evaluating the results, Rio Tinto withdrew from the project. IAMGold is assessing whether the seven holes have adequately tested the potential of the 4 km by 1 km geochemical anomaly.

Brazil

    Tocantins Project

        In mid-1999 IAMGold and AngloGold established a joint-venture whereby IAMGold could earn a 50% interest in concessions totalling 2,000 km2 in the Almas greenstone belt in Tocantins State by spending a total of US$3 million over five years. IAMGold also holds 100% of concessions totalling 900 km2 in the same area.

        Through 2000 and into the early part of 2001, regional geological and geophysical surveys of the Almas greenstone belt were completed. Through much of 2001, exploration was focused on the Chapada shear zone, which has old gold workings over a strike length of more than 20 km. The main Chapada Garimpo consists of a 1.5 km portion of the shear zone where deformed quartz veins with high-grade gold mineralization are currently being mined to a depth of 120m by informal miners. Negotiations with surface rights owners and informal miners were finalized early in 2001. Surface and underground mapping and sampling was undertaken in order to guide drilling. Nineteen widely spaced core drill holes totaling 3,300m were drilled to test part of the Chapada shear zone. Twelve of the holes were drilled over a 3 km strike length to test the main Garimpo and the Southern Extension. All the holes intersected deformed quartz vein zones with gold mineralization generally between 1 to 3 g/t of gold with a best value of 4m at 2.5 g/t of gold and 1.8m at 5.6 g/t of gold. These grades cannot support an underground operation. It is recognized that in the north of the Chapada zone, there is potential for a lower-grade, open-pittable resource. Surface sampling and mapping will be carried out prior to making a decision on whether to test the area by drilling. IAMGold expects to vest its 50% interest in the joint venture by the end of 2002.

    Moeda Project

        In 1997, IAMGold recognized that a major Witwatersrand-type conglomerate-hosted gold deposit could be present in the southwestern portion of the Gandarela Syncline in the Quadrilatero Ferrifero (a major gold and iron mining district in Minas Gerais State). The presence of old gold workings covering a 15 km strike length and confirmation of widespread gold mineralization in the Moeda conglomerates by previous exploration

B-32


drilling supported this model. In 1998, IAMGold initiated a program to acquire control of the mineral rights over a 15 km by 7 km area underlain by potentially mineralized conglomerates. The final mineral rights over the prospective area were acquired in August 2000, when the largest of all the properties, the Mineracoes Brasileiras Reunidas S/A ("MBR") block, was optioned.

        A geological model of the southern portion of the project area, where most of the previous drilling was completed has been compiled. The work has confirmed the presence of a gold resource on the Industrias Nucleares do Brasil ("INB") property. Drilling of three deep holes to test mineralized trends indicated by previous drilling on the MBR concessions was completed in March 2001. The drilling intersected well-developed conglomerate units with low-grade gold mineralization and confirmed the structural model for the MBR area. Further drilling is warranted but a joint venture participant will be sought, as a major drilling program will be required to adequately test the area.

Argentina

    Mesa Project

        In June 2000, IAMGold and Rio Tinto established a joint venture on the Las Mellizas property. Subsequent trenching on the property identified a low-grade, disseminated gold target as well as a system of epithermal veins with high-grade gold values. A total of 1,000m of core and 850m of reverse circulation drilling were completed between January and March 2001. The drilling showed that the disseminated gold target was too low-grade to warrant further work. However, two high-grade intercepts were returned at the southern end of the T12 vein with a best value of 7m at 65 g/t of gold (uncut). A second round of reverse circulation drilling (1,500m) which tested the southern end of the T12 vein in more detail generated another high-grade gold intersection. Rio Tinto subsequently withdrew from the project.

        IAMGold has continued with surface exploration of the vein system. A 1,000m program of closely spaced core drill holes showed that the high-grade pay shoot previously intersected at the southern end of the T12 structure was very small. Core and reverse circulation drilling to test the northern portion of the T12 vein as well as some of the other veins in the system commenced in April 2002. Results were negative and no further work is planned on the property.

        Surface samples from the La Esperanza property in the Mesa project area returned high-grade values from outcrops of an epithermal vein system which could extend under cover for up to 1.5 km. A 500m reverse circulation drill program intersected low-grade gold mineralization associated with quartz veining and association (best intersection of 21m at 1.5 g/t Au). A second drill campaign started in November to test veins and breccia zones and this program is due to be completed in December 2002.

    Los Menucos Project

        In 2001, exploration work focused on the 20 km by 10 km Abanico alteration zone. Detailed mapping and geochemical sampling showed that the Cerro Abanico and Cerro La Mina targets warranted drill follow-up. Subsequently, a joint venture was established with Companhia Vale do Rio Doce ("CVRD") on the Cerro Abanico target. A total of 3,600m of core and reverse circulation drilling was undertaken to test gold and base metal anomalies. The drilling showed that the system was eroded to a depth below the favorable elevation for epithermal gold mineralization. CVRD later withdrew from the project.

        Surface work on the Cerro La Mina target confirmed two drill targets on epithermal breccias and veins and drilling commenced in March 2002. The best results were 59.5g/t over 1m, 60.5g/t over 1m and 11.7g/t over 6m. These results are encouraging but a decision has not been taken as to whether IAMGold will continue the exploration or seek a joint venture partner.

        IAMGold has acquired an option to purchase the Dos Lagunas vein in the Los Menucos area and surface sampling, which started in late 2001, gave encouraging results and intersected gold mineralization. A drill program was carried out and low grade mineralization was intersected. Although these grades would not support an underground mine, the vein system is still considered to have some potential for higher grade shoots and discussions are being held with prospective joint venture partners.

J. Todd Bruce President, Chief Operating Officer(1)   Loan from IAMGold   $ 1,437,500   $ 1,437,500     250,000
Common Shares


Bruce Fletcher, Former Manager of Exploration South America(2)   Loan from IAMGold   $ 320,000   $ 224,000     70,000
Common Shares


(1)
In connection with this loan Mr. Bruce and IAMGold entered into a promissory note and a share pledge agreement. The loan is non-interest bearing until the maturity date of March 7, 2006, at which time it will bear interest at the rate equal to the rate prescribed for employee loans under the ITA calculated and compounded annually and payable quarterly on the last day of each quarter until paid in full. In the event that Mr. Bruce is no longer an employee of IAMGold or of an affiliate, within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario), of IAMGold for any reason, at the option of IAMGold, the loan will mature 60 days thereafter except if such event is due to death or disability in which case, at the option of IAMGold, the loan will mature six months after the date of such event. Mr. Bruce may make prepayments of all or any part of the loan at any time without notice or penalty. Mr. Bruce used the proceeds of this loan to purchase 250,000 Common Shares, which are pledged as security for this loan. The sole recourse of IAMGold for this loan is to the Common Shares pledged as security for the loan.

(2)
In connection with this loan Mr. Fletcher and IAMGold entered into a promissory note and a share pledge agreement. The loan is non-interest bearing and must be repaid by September 2003. Mr. Fletcher used the proceeds of this loan to purchase 100,000 Common Shares, of which, following a partial repayment in 2002, 70,000 remain pledged as security for this loan. The sole recourse of IAMGold for this loan is to the Common Shares pledged as security for the loan.

Other Compensation Matters

        There were long-term incentive awards made to the Named Executive Officers during the financial year ended December 31, 2001 in the amount of 705,000 options. Each option entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of Cdn$3.90. There are no pension benefits in place for the Named Executive Officers.

Management Contracts

        IAMGold has entered into substantially similar employment and management agreements (the "Management Agreements") with Messrs. Pugliese, Nathanson, Bruce, Ross, Jones and Phillips (or their management services companies (collectively the "Key Executives")). The Management Agreements are for a period of three years (subject to termination by the Key Executive on 90 days notice) and provide remuneration for Messrs. Pugliese and Nathanson in the amount of Cdn$200,000 per annum, Mr. Bruce in the amount of Cdn$250,000 per annum and for Messrs. Phillips, Ross and Jones in the amount of Cdn$185,000 per annum. The Management Agreements contain provisions protecting IAMGold with respect to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidential information and ownership of ideas and inventions and contain provisions with respect to termination on death and disability as well as termination by IAMGold other than for cause (in which case remuneration is paid to Messrs. Pugliese and Nathanson for 12 months, to Mr. Bruce for 30 months and to Messrs. Ross, Jones and Phillips for 24 months following such termination and, in all cases, any outstanding stock options become fully exercisable, provided that the Key Executive has been employed or engaged by IAMGold for at least 12 months).

        The Management Agreements contain "change of control" provisions pursuant to which, under certain specified circumstances, a change in control of IAMGold is deemed to constitute termination by IAMGold other than for cause, unless waived by the Key Executive. In such event, any unexercised rights pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan become fully exercisable and remain exercisable for 60 days.

B-37



Compensation of Directors

        Each director of IAMGold (other than Mr. Pugliese, Mr. Nathanson and Mr. Naik) receives an annual fee of Cdn$12,000 together with Cdn$1,000 for each meeting of the directors or any committee thereof in which such member participates. Any such director who chairs a committee of the directors also receives an annual fee of Cdn$3,000. Commencing in 2002, directors not employed by IAMGold each receive, on an annual basis, 20,000 options to purchase Common Shares under the Share Incentive Plan. In 2001 IAMGold paid Mr. Naik Cdn$60,000 for consulting services.

        Directors received an aggregate of Cdn$124,750 in remuneration in 2001. This amount excludes consulting fees paid to directors.

        A committee of the directors of IAMGold consisting of Messrs. Bogden, Bullock and Naik was formed in connection with matters relating to the Arrangement. It is anticipated that the members of the committee will receive a reasonable amount of compensation for their services as committee members.


CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

        IAMGold is authorized to issue an unlimited number of First Preference Shares, an unlimited number of Second Preference Shares and an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of December 5, 2002, nil First Preference Shares, nil Second Preference Shares and 78,620,889 Common Shares were issued and outstanding.

First Preference Shares

        The First Preference Shares are issuable in one or more series. Subject to IAMGold's articles, the directors of IAMGold are authorized to fix, before issue, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the First Preference Shares of each series. The First Preference Shares rank prior to the Second Preference Shares and the Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the return of capital on dissolution of IAMGold. Except with respect to matters as to which the holders of First Preference Shares are entitled by law to vote as a class, the holders of First Preference Shares are not entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders. The holders of First Preference Shares are not entitled to vote separately as a class or series or to dissent with respect to any proposal to amend the articles of IAMGold to create a new class or series of shares ranking in priority to or on a parity with the First Preference Shares or any series thereof, to effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of the First Preference Shares or any series thereof or to increase the maximum number of authorized shares of a class or series ranking in priority to or on a parity with the First Preference Shares or any series thereof.

B-38



Second Preference Shares

        The Second Preference Shares are issuable in one or more series. Subject to IAMGold's articles, the directors of IAMGold are authorized to fix, before issue, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Second Preference Shares of each series. The Second Preference Shares rank junior to the First Preference Shares and prior to the Common Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the return of capital on dissolution of IAMGold. Except with respect to matters as to which the holders of Second Preference Shares are entitled by law to vote as a class, the holders of Second Preference Shares are not entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders of IAMGold. The holders of Second Preference Shares are not entitled to vote separately as a class or series or to dissent with respect to any proposal to amend the articles of IAMGold to create a new class or series of shares ranking in priority to or on a parity with the Second Preference Shares or any series thereof, to effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of the Second Preference Shares or any series thereof or to increase the maximum number of authorized shares of a class or series ranking in priority to or on a parity with the Second Preference Shares or any series thereof.

Common Shares

        Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at all meetings of shareholders of IAMGold other than meetings at which only holders of another class or series of shares of IAMGold are entitled to vote. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof, subject to the prior rights of the holders of the First Preference Shares and the Second Preference Shares, to receive any dividends declared by the directors of IAMGold and the remaining property of IAMGold upon dissolution of IAMGold.


DIVIDEND RECORD AND POLICY

        IAMGold declared an initial annual dividend of Cdn$0.05 per share to holders of record of Common Shares at December 24, 2001. Payment was made January 25, 2002. IAMGold plans to provide holders of Common Shares with the option of receiving future dividend payments in gold or Canadian dollars. The actual timing, payment and amount of dividends paid by IAMGold will be determined by the directors of IAMGold from time to time based upon, among other things, the cash flow, results of operations and financial condition of IAMGold, the need for funds to finance ongoing operations and such other business considerations as the directors of IAMGold may consider relevant.


SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

        IAMGold has established a share incentive plan (the "Share Incentive Plan") for the benefit of full-time and part-time employees, directors and officers of IAMGold and affiliated companies (and persons or companies engaged to provide ongoing management or consulting services to the foregoing) which may be designated from time to time by the directors of IAMGold. The Share Incentive Plan consists of a share purchase plan, a share bonus plan and a share option plan. As at December 5, 2002, there were reserved for issuance under the Share Incentive Plan a total of 8,053,781 Common Shares. The following is a summary of the Share Incentive Plan.

Share Purchase Plan

        Subject to the requirements of the share purchase plan, the directors of IAMGold have the authority to select those employees and members of management of IAMGold and designated affiliates who may participate in the share purchase plan. IAMGold will match the participant's contribution, which cannot exceed 10% of the participant's basic annual remuneration, on a quarterly basis and each participant will then be issued Common Shares having a value equal to the aggregate amount contributed to the share purchase plan by the participant and IAMGold. The purchase price per Common Share will be the weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the calendar quarter in respect of which the Common Shares are issued. Such Common Shares will be delivered to participants 12 months following their date of issue.

        A maximum of 750,000 Common Shares may be issued under the share purchase plan. For the financial year ended December 31, 2001, no Common Shares were issued pursuant to the share purchase plan and to date

B-39



the directors of IAMGold have not designated any employees eligible to participate under the share purchase plan.

Share Bonus Plan

        The share bonus plan permits Common Shares to be issued as a discretionary bonus to employees and management of IAMGold and designated affiliates. A maximum equal to the lesser of 600,000 Common Shares and 1% of the number of Common Shares outstanding from time to time may be issued under the share bonus plan. For the financial year ended December 31, 2001, no Common Shares were issued pursuant to the share bonus plan.

Share Option Plan

        The share option plan provides for the grant of non-transferable options for the purchase of Common Shares to eligible participants. Subject to the requirements of the share option plan, the directors of IAMGold have the authority to select those eligible participants to whom options will be granted, the number of options to be granted and the price at which Common Shares may be purchased. The exercise price for purchasing Common Shares cannot be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the last trading day immediately proceeding the date of grant of the option. Each option, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of the share option plan, will expire on a date to be determined by the directors of IAMGold at the time the option is granted, which date will not be later than 10 years from the date the option was granted. Each option becomes exercisable, as to 331/3% of the Common Shares subject to such option, on a cumulative basis at the end of each of the first, second and third years following the date of grant. The total number of Common Shares under option cannot exceed 9,250,000 Common Shares. In addition, the aggregate number of Common Shares at any time available for issue to any one person cannot exceed 5% of the number of Common Shares then outstanding.

        The share option plan also provides for share appreciation rights ("SARs"). An optionee is entitled to elect to terminate his or her option, in whole or in part, and, in lieu of receiving the Common Shares to which the terminated option relates, to receive that number of Common Shares, disregarding fractions, which, when multiplied by the fair value of the Common Shares (which shall be the weighted average price for the Common Shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of termination of the option) to which the terminated option relates, has a total value equal to the product of the number of such Common Shares multiplied by the difference between the fair value and the exercise price per share of such Common Shares, less any amount required to be withheld on account of income taxes.

        If a take-over bid (within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario)) is made for the Common Shares, then the directors of IAMGold may permit all options outstanding to become immediately exercisable in order to permit Common Shares issuable under such options to be tendered to such bid.

        A maximum number of 9,245,595 Common Shares may be issued under the share option plan, of which options to purchase an aggregate of 5,114,635 Common Shares are currently outstanding.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        IAMGold is a defendant in an action commenced on August 27, 1991 in the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) by Kinbauri Gold Corporation ("Kinbauri"). Kinbauri claims damages in the amount of Cdn$10 million in lieu of specific performance of an agreement to amalgamate between IAMGold and Kinbauri. In January 2002, Kinbauri amended its claim to include a claim for punitive damages in the amount of Cdn$2 million. A trial on the issue of liability was conducted in July 1997 before the Ontario Supreme Court at Ottawa. The trial judge rendered his decision on the liability issue in May 1999, when he found in favour of Kinbauri on the basis that IAMGold had breached an implied obligation to use best efforts to meet a necessary condition of an agreement. IAMGold appealed the decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The appeal was dismissed on November 2, 2000. An application by IAMGold for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was denied.

B-40



        A trial on the issue of damages commenced in January 2002 and was completed on March 1, 2002. IAMGold has contested the damages claimed by Kinbauri. The trial judge has reserved judgment on the issue of damages. IAMGold expects a decision on this matter in 2003.


INTERESTS OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

        Other than as disclosed under the "Executive Compensation", none of the directors and executive officers of IAMGold, or their respective associates, has had a material interest in any material transaction of IAMGold or its subsidiaries since January 1, 1999 except that IAMGold rented office space from, and paid for office services to, a company controlled by William Pugliese, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAMGold. Amounts paid for rent and offices services were Cdn$252,413 in 2001, Cdn$274,193 in 2000 and Cdn$252,664 in 1999. IAMGold paid Cdn$189,515 for rent and office services in the first nine months of 2002.


PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

        To the knowledge of the directors and officers of Repadre, as at December 5, 2002, no person or company beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, more than 10% of the votes attached to all of the outstanding Common Shares, except for William D. Pugliese, Aurora, Ontario who beneficially owned (through Fundeco Inc., Caribbean Investment Bank and Driftwood Cove Resort Inc., all private companies controlled by him) an aggregate of 13,283,929 Common Shares, representing approximately 16.9% of the total number outstanding and Fidelity Management and Research Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company, both of Boston, Massachusetts, and Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke, Bermuda which, as at September 18, 2002, collectively controlled 7,921,700 Common Shares, representing 10.1% of the total number outstanding. To the knowledge of the directors and officers of Repadre, as of the Effective Date, no person or company will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, more than 10% of the votes attached to all of the Common Shares which will then be outstanding.


RISK FACTORS

Dependence on Mining Operations and Operators

        Following the Effective Date, IAMGold will have an interest in four gold mining operations. The Sadiola Gold Mine, the Yatela Gold Mine, the Tarkwa Gold Mine and the Damang Gold Mine will represent approximately 37%, 22%, 29% and 12%, respectively, of IAMGold's estimated gold production for 2003. Any adverse development affecting any of the four mining operations may have a material effect on IAMGold's financial performance and results of operations.

        Following the Effective Date, IAMGold will have royalty interests on various gold and diamond properties, including the Lac de Gras Royalty which covers the Diavik diamond property. Any adverse development affecting the Diavik diamond property or the royalty interest which will be acquired by IAMGold therein may have a material effect on IAMGold's performance and results of operations.

        RTZ, DDM and Aber initiated a review process in 2001 regarding the history of royalties on the Lac de Gras Claims, including the Lac de Gras Royalty held by Repadre. The review process has not yet been completed. At this time, Repadre has been assured that no position adverse to Repadre has been taken by RTZ, DDM or Aber. However, Repadre understands that such review has not been completed and, accordingly, it is possible that a position adverse to Repadre could be taken by RTZ, DDM and/or Aber in the future.

        IAMGold relies on AngloGold's operating ability and, upon completion of the Arrangement, will rely on Gold Fields' operating ability and the ability of the operators of the mines in which IAMGold will have a royalty interest, to effectively manage the mines in which IAMGold has and will have an interest or in respect of which IAMGold will hold a royalty interest. While IAMGold believes that the operating history of AngloGold, Gold Fields and the operators of mines subject to such royalty interests mitigates this risk, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case.

B-41



Fluctuations in Gold and Diamond Prices

        The profitability of IAMGold's operations will be significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold and diamonds. Gold production from mining operations and the willingness of third parties, such as central banks, to sell or lease gold affect the supply of gold. Demand for gold and diamonds can be influenced by economic conditions, gold's attractiveness as an investment vehicle, diamond quality and the strength of the US dollar and local investment currencies. Other factors include the level of interest rates, exchange rates, inflation and political stability. The aggregate effect of these factors is impossible to predict with accuracy. Gold and diamond prices are also affected by worldwide production levels. In addition, the price of gold has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes because of speculative activities. Fluctuations in gold and diamond prices may adversely affect IAMGold's financial performance and results of operations. With the Sadiola, Yatela, Tarkwa and Damang Gold Mines, IAMGold will be positioned as a low cost producer. Any gold price decline would delay IAMGold receiving profit distributions from these mines and reduce royalty revenue from IAMGold's gold royalty interests. Any diamond price decline would reduce royalty revenue from IAMGold's diamond royalty interests.

        To partially mitigate any decline in gold price, AngloGold, pursuant to its operator contract, implements the hedge policy established by the directors of SEMOS in respect of the Sadiola Gold Mine. As at September 30, 2002, call options for an aggregate of 75,000 ounces of gold (IAMGold's share 28,500 ounces) were outstanding at an average price of US$385 per ounce in respect of the Sadiola Gold Mine. There are no financial instruments in place for the Yatela, Tarkwa and Damang mines and no plans to put any such financial instruments in place. In previous years IAMGold has benefited from gold sales above the average spot price. The decision not to use financial instruments may decrease the realized price of future gold sales if there is a material decrease in the price of gold.

        During 2002, IAMGold converted the majority of its corporate cash balances to gold bullion. A maximum of one-month's working capital cash balance will be maintained by IAMGold on an ongoing basis. As a result, IAMGold is highly exposed to changes in gold prices. As at September 30, 2002, the gold money holding of IAMGold amounted to 94,281 ounces of gold.

Uncertainty of Reserve and Resource Estimates

        The figures for reserves and resources presented herein are estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. The ore grade actually recovered may differ from the estimated grades of the reserves and resources. Such figures have been determined based upon assumed gold prices and operating costs. Future production could differ dramatically from reserve estimates for, among others, the following reasons:

    mineralization or formations could be different from those predicted by drilling, sampling and similar examinations;

    increases in operating mining costs and processing costs could adversely affect reserves;

    the grade of the reserves may vary significantly from time to time and there is no assurance that any particular level of gold may be recovered from the reserves; and

    declines in the market price of gold may render the mining of some or all of the reserves uneconomic.

        Any of these factors may require IAMGold to reduce its reserves estimates or increase its costs. Short-term factors, such as the need for the additional development of a deposit or the processing of new different grades, may impair IAMGold's profitability. Should the market price of gold fall, IAMGold could be required to materially write down its investment in mining properties or delay or discontinue production or the development of new projects.

Political Risk

        IAMGold believes that governments in Mali and Ghana support the development of their natural resources by foreign companies. However, there is no assurance that future political and economic conditions in these and other countries in which IAMGold has exploration properties and will, upon completion of the Arrangement,

B-42



have royalties will not result in their governments adopting different policies respecting foreign ownership of mineral resources, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental protection, labour relations, repatriation of income or return of capital. The possibility that a future government in any of these countries may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out. In the case of the operating gold mines, the Governments of Mali and Ghana are minority shareholders in the companies which own the mines, which may assist in mitigating the political risk, although there is no assurance that this will be the case.

Government Interests and Royalties

        The Government of Ghana holds, as of right and without payment of any compensation, a 10% interest in the rights and obligations of all reconnaissance, prospecting or mining operations in relation to a mineral right and has the option to acquire a further 20% interest where any mineral is discovered in commercial quantities, on terms agreed between the Government of Ghana and the holder of the mining lease. This option is applicable to the Damang Gold Mine. In addition, the Ghana Government is entitled to a royalty of 3% to 12% of mineral sales after direct expenses.

        The Government of Mali holds an 18% interest in SEMOS and a 20% interest in Yatela. In addition, the Government of Mali is entitled to royalties aggregating 6% of mineral sales.

Foreign Exchange Control

        Ghana's exchange control laws require permission from the Ghanaian authorities for transactions involving foreign currency. Under an agreement between GFGL and the Government of Ghana, GFGL is currently obligated to repatriate 20% of its revenue to Ghana and to either use such amounts in Ghana or maintain them in a Ghanaian bank account. Under the deed of warranty between Abosso and the Government of Ghana, Abosso is currently obligated to repatriate 25% of its revenue to Ghana. The level of repatriation is subject to renegotiation every two years and has increased from the initial rate of 20% set in 1996. During the first half of 2000 the Bank of Ghana requested mining companies, including Abosso, to repatriate an additional 25% of their revenues to foreign currency accounts with local banks. Abosso was asked to do so by letter from the then Minister of Finance. Abosso has not heard anything further from either the Bank of Ghana or the Minister of Finance since that time. While a significant portion of GFGL's and Abosso's revenue is repatriated to Ghana to cover various operating and capital expenditures, a large increase in the percentage required to be repatriated could adversely affect GFGL's or Abosso's ability to use the cash flow from the Tarkwa Gold Mine and the Damang Gold Mine outside Ghana, including the funding of dividends and the repayment of principal and interest on indebtedness.

Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining

        IAMGold's profitability is significantly affected by the costs and results of its exploration and development programs. The exploration and development of mineral deposits involve significant financial risks over a significant period of time, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While discovery of a gold-bearing structure may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into mines. Major expenses may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. It is impossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on IAMGold's exploration properties or the properties in which, upon completion of the Arrangement, it will hold royalties will result in a profitable commercial mining operation.

        IAMGold's operations are, and will continue to be, subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to exploration, development and production of gold, any of which could result in damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage. IAMGold's activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to weather conditions depending on the location of operations in which IAMGold has interests. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formations, rock bursts, pressures, cave-ins, flooding or other conditions may be encountered in the drilling and removal of material. While IAMGold may obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts as it considers adequate, the nature of these risks are such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or could be excluded from coverage. There are also risks against which IAMGold

B-43



cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. The potential costs which could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting IAMGold's earnings and competitive position in the future and, potentially, its financial position and results of operation.

        Whether a gold deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are the particular attributes of the deposit, such as its size and grade, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs and governmental regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, infrastructure, land use, importing and exporting of gold and environmental protection. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in IAMGold not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Production

        No assurance can be given that the intended or expected production schedules or the estimated direct operating cash costs will be achieved in respect of the operating gold mines in which IAMGold has an interest or in respect of operating gold mines or mines subject to royalties in which, upon completion of the Arrangement, IAMGold will have an interest. In addition to engineering, operating and capital cost factors, the revenue of IAMGold from the operating gold mines will depend on the extent to which expected operating costs in respect thereof are achieved. Short-term operating factors, such as the need for orderly development of the ore body or the processing of new or different ore grades, may cause a mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

Additional Financing

        A portion of IAMGold's activities will be directed to the search for and the development of new mineral deposits, and significant capital investment will be required to achieve commercial production from successful exploration efforts. There is no assurance that IAMGold will have, or be able to raise, the required funds to continue these activities.

        IAMGold may acquire other royalties or exploration properties in West Africa, South America or elsewhere which may require acquisition payments to be made and exploration expenditures to be incurred. All exploration programs, if successful, will generate the incentive for further programs and additional funds. If required, there is no assurance IAMGold will be successful in raising sufficient funds to meet its obligations with respect to the exploration properties in which it has or may acquire an interest.

Licenses and Permits

        IAMGold requires licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Each of Repadre and IAMGold believes that it holds all necessary licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations in respect of its properties and that it is presently complying in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances. There can be no guarantee that IAMGold will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to explore and develop its properties, commence construction or operation of mining facilities and properties under exploration or development or to maintain continued operations that economically justify the cost.

Competition

        The mineral exploration and mining business is competitive in all of its phases. There is a limited number of royalty acquisition opportunities available and a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim staking, lease or other acquisition in the areas where IAMGold contemplates acquiring royalties or conducting exploration activities. IAMGold competes with numerous other companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than IAMGold, in the search for and the acquisition of attractive royalties or mineral properties. IAMGold's ability to acquire royalties or properties in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties, royalties or prospects for mineral exploration. There is no assurance that

B-44



IAMGold will continue to be able to compete successfully with its competitors in acquiring such royalties, properties or prospects.

Cash Costs of Gold Production

        IAMGold's cash operating costs to produce an ounce of gold are dependent on a number of factors, including the grade of reserves, recovery and plant throughput. In the future, the actual performance of IAMGold may differ from the estimated performance. As these factors are beyond IAMGold's control, there can be no assurance that IAMGold will continue to maintain its status as a low cash cost gold producer.

Title Matters

        While each of Repadre and IAMGold has no reason to believe that the existence and extent of any mining property in which it has a participating interest is in doubt, title to mining properties is subject to potential claims by third parties claiming an interest in them. The failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including failure to pay taxes, carry out and file assessment work, may invalidate title to portions of the properties where the mineral rights are not held by Repadre or IAMGold.

Environmental Risks

        Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There can be no assurance that future changes to environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect IAMGold's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which IAMGold holds or will hold interests that have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators. Furthermore, compliance with environmental reclamation, closure and other requirements may involve significant costs and other liabilities.

Currency Risk

        Currency fluctuations should not affect the cash flow which IAMGold will realize from its operations. Gold is quoted in US dollars and sold in the world market. For the operating gold mines, the majority of the operating costs are denominated in US dollars. A majority of the exploration costs are in US dollars. A small portion of expenditures are payable in the local currencies of Canada, Mali, Ghana, Senegal, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina.

Performance of Key Personnel

        IAMGold will continue to be dependent on a relatively small number of key employees, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on its operations. IAMGold currently does not have key person insurance on these individuals.


AUDITOR, REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT

        The auditor of IAMGold is and will continue to be KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, Suite 3300, Commerce Court West, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1B2.

        The registrar and transfer agent of IAMGold is CIBC Mellon Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario. It is anticipated that, by the Effective Date, the registrar and transfer agent of IAMGold will be changed to Computershare Trust Company of Canada at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario and in Golden, Colorado.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements of IAMGold for the period ended September 30, 2002 and the notes thereto which appear following this discussion and analysis. All figures in this section are in US dollars, unless stated otherwise.

THIRD QUARTER — THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

        IAMGold reported consolidated net income of $3 million ($0.03 per share) for the third quarter of 2002, compared to net income of $3 million ($0.04 per share) for the third quarter of 2001. Operating cash flow (before working capital changes) for the third quarter of 2002 was $6 million ($0.08 per share) compared to $8 million ($0.11 per share) for the third quarter of 2001.

Revenue:

        Consolidated revenues from Sadiola and Yatela operations for the third quarter were $25 million compared to $22 million for the third quarter of 2001.

        The average realized gold price in the third quarter of 2002 was $317 per ounce compared to $273 per ounce for the same period in 2001. Spot gold prices averaged $313 per ounce in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $271 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001. Financial instruments increased revenues by $4 per ounce in the third quarter of 2002 and by $2 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001. IAMGold's third quarter revenue in 2002 reflects its amortization of a $0.4 million gain related to deferred hedge revenue.

Mining Costs:

        Mine operating costs in the third quarter of 2002 increased by $2.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2001. Average total cash cost per ounce increased to $186 in the third quarter of 2002 from $146 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001. At Sadiola increased costs were expected due to the transition from oxides to sulphides. Costs at Yatela were higher due to increased wear on mineral sizers and increased cement usage.

        Depreciation expense per ounce at Sadiola in the third quarter of 2002 was higher than in the same period of 2001 due to slightly higher expenses and the lower production level.

        At Sadiola, total cash costs were $187 per ounce in the third quarter in comparison to the $146 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001.

        At Yatela, total cash costs were $185 per ounce in the third quarter in comparison to the $147 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001.

All Other:

        Interest expense at the mine level decreased in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001, reflecting a reduction in Yatela debt and the retirement of Sadiola debt.

        Corporate administration expenses in the third quarter of 2002 were higher than the third quarter of 2001 due to increased salary and investor relations efforts.

        Exploration project spending is in line with the budget of $5 million but was $1 million more than in the third quarter of 2001. The 2002 spending profile will have greater spending in the last half of the year compared to 2001, but total spending in each year will be equal.

        Current income taxes of $0.8 million represents Sadiola income taxes for the third quarter of 2002. The mine became taxable at the end of February 2002, on its five year anniversary of commercial production.

        A non-cash provision for future income taxes increased net income by $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to a $0.8 million decrease in net income in the third quarter of 2001. The taxes relate to Sadiola profits which will be repatriated to Canada. Senior lenders' restrictions on cash movements from Sadiola were eliminated in May 2002, on the last debt repayment. IAMGold expects future corporate expenses to reduce the future tax liability balance.

        A gain of $0.8 million from holding gold bullion was recorded in the third quarter of 2002.

C-2


THIRD QUARTER — NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

        IAMGold's year to date reported consolidated net income was $8 million ($0.10 per share) for the first nine months of 2002, compared to net income of $9 million ($0.12 per share) for the first nine months of 2001. Operating cash flow (before working capital changes) for the first nine months of 2002 was $20 million ($0.26 per share) compared to $22 million ($0.30 per share) for the first nine months of 2001.

Revenue:

        Consolidated revenues from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $65 million compared to $60 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in revenue was created by higher gold prices. Increased Yatela production was offset by some 36,100 ounces (IAMGold's share) of fourth quarter 2000 Sadiola production sold in the first quarter of 2001.

        The average realized gold price per ounce was $307 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $279 per ounce for the first nine months of 2001. Spot gold prices averaged $305 per ounce in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $269 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. The use of financial instruments increased revenues by $2 per ounce in the first nine months of 2002 and increased revenues by $10 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001.

Mining Costs:

        Mine operating costs reported in the income statement in the first nine months of 2002 rose by $3 million compared to the first nine months of 2001. Average total cash cost per ounce increased to $167 in the first nine months of 2002 from $145 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. The increase was due to increased cash costs at Sadiola (lower throughput and recovery) and new Yatela production.

All Other:

        Interest expense at the mine level decreased in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first nine months of 2001, reflecting a reduction and retirement of IAMGold's share of Sadiola debt.

        Corporate administration, exploration administration and exploration expense in the first nine months of 2002 were in line with expectations and those in the first nine months of 2001.

        A $1 million gain from holding gold in 2002 was reported for the first nine months. A foreign exchange loss from holding a Canadian dollar balance in corporate discretionary cash of $1 million was reported (nil in 2002) in the first nine months of 2001.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

        Asset additions amounted to $2 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $8 million in the first nine months of 2002. These additions relate to remaining sulphide plant and exploration at Sadiola and to heap leach pads at Yatela.

        The final Sadiola payment (both senior and subordinated loans) was paid in mid-May 2002 and totalled $31.5 million at the mine level ($12 million at the IAMGold level). IAMGold's share of cash balances at September 30, 2002 amounted to $8.5 million at Sadiola and $7.4 million at Yatela.

        IAMGold's consolidated cash position as at September 30, 2002 was $17.2 million. Included in this amount is $16.0 million held in joint ventures. The corporate cash and gold bullion position at September 30, 2002 was $31.8 million, of which $30.5 million was held in gold bullion (94,281 ounces).

IAMGOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
(United States Dollars in 000's, except per share data)

For the period ended September 30, 2002

The interim consolidated financial statements of IAMGold Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2001.

1.    CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY:

    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants in Handbook Section 3870, "Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments". Section 3870 is applied prospectively to all stock-based payments to non-employees granted on or after January 1, 2002.

    The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to non-employees granted on or after January 1, 2002, using the fair value based method. Stock options granted to employees are accounted for as a capital transaction. The Company is also required to disclose the pro forma effect of accounting for stock option awards granted to employees subsequent to January 1, 2002, under the fair value based method at Cdn$7.88 per share. Accordingly, the fair value of the 120,000 options granted to employees subsequent to January 1, 2002 has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5%; dividend yield of 1%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 37%; and a weighted average expected life of these options of 8 years. For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is expensed over the options' vesting period, which is 3 years.

    The following is the Company's pro forma earnings with the fair value method applied to all options issued during the period:

 
  Three months ended
Sept 30, 2002

  Nine months ended
Sept 30, 2002

Earnings for the period   $ 2,622   $ 7,947
Compensation expense related to fair value of stock options     27     33
   
 
Pro forma earnings for the period     2,595     7,914
   
 
Pro forma earnings per share:            
  Basic and diluted   $ 0.03   $ 0.10

3.    GOLD BULLION:

    As at September 30, 2002, the Company held 94,281 ounces of gold bullion. This bullion was valued at market rates of US$324 per ounce as at September 30, 2002. Holding gains related to gold bullion resulted in a recognition of $928,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Realized gains related to the sale of gold bullion were $67,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

7.    CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS:

    The Company is a defendant in an action commenced in the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) by Kinbauri Gold Corporation (Kinbauri). Kinbauri's position is that it is entitled to specific performance of an alleged amalgamation between the Company and Kinbauri or damages in the amount of Cdn $10 million, plus interest from April 1991 and costs. The Company denies the claim for specific performance and the damages claimed by Kinbauri.

    The Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) separated the action into two issues: the issue of liability and the issue of damages. In May 1999, a decision was issued by the trial judge with respect to the issue of liability. The trial judge heard no evidence and made no finding as to the issue of damages. The trial judge found that the Company failed to use best efforts to fulfill the conditions of a proposed amalgamation with Kinbauri.

    The damages portion of the trial commenced on January 21, 2002, at which time the plaintiff amended its claim to add a claim for punitive damages in the amount of Cdn$2 million. The Company believes that if the plaintiff is ultimately successful in asserting its claim for damages, the settlement of this issue will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

    The damages portion of the trial was completed on March 1, 2002, at which time the trial judge reserved judgment. The Company is still awaiting the decision of the trial judge.

8.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

    As at September 30, 2002, the Company had no forward contracts outstanding. During 2002, the Company recognized its share of the after-tax loss of $567,000, resulting from the sale of all remaining forward contracts, as a reduction in revenue.

    The Company's proportionate share of call options outstanding at September 30, 2002 was 28,500 ounces at an average price of US$385 per ounce. The fair value of the call options represented a pre-tax liability of $148,000, which was included in accounts payable and applied as a reduction in revenue for 2002.

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

    On October 28, 2002 the respective Boards of Directors of IAMGold Corporation and Repadre Capital Corporation announced that they had unanimously approved a proposed business combination of the two companies. The combination of the two companies will be achieved by a plan of arrangement whereby Repadre shareholders will receive 1.6 IAMGold shares for each Repadre share, with IAMGold as the continuing public company. A special meeting of Repadre shareholders will be convened to consider the proposed plan and, if appropriate, approve the plan of arrangement. The meeting is expected to occur during January 2003.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto which appear following this discussion and analysis. All figures in this section are in US dollars, unless stated otherwise.

OVERVIEW

        IAMGold (the "Company") is a growth-oriented precious metals exploration and mining company. Operating income and cash flows are generated as properties commence production. In March 1997, the Sadiola Gold Mine commenced commercial production. In July 2001, the Yatela Gold Mine also commenced commercial production. The Company continued its exploration activities in South America and Africa throughout 2001.

        The Company records its proportionate share of assets, liabilities and results of operations from its joint ventures in the financial statements.

SADIOLA GOLD MINE

        The Company owns a 38 percent interest in a Malian registered company, La Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola S.A. (Sadiola). Sadiola holds the mining permits for the Sadiola Gold Mine in western Mali. AngloGold Ltd. (AngloGold) owns 38 percent of Sadiola, the Republic of Mali holds 18 percent and International Finance Corporation (IFC), an affiliate of the World Bank, holds the remaining 6 percent. AngloGold is the mine operator.

        Annual gold production in ounces from the March 1, 1997 startup is as follows:

 
  100%
  IMG 38%
1997 (10 months)   364,729   138,597
1998   506,113   192,323
1999   542,955   206,323
2000   611,442   232,348
2001   536,047   203,698
   
 
Total   2,561,286   973,289
   
 

        Gold sales of 630,640 ounces (IAMGold share 239,643 ounces) in 2001 increased 22 percent from the 516,055 ounces (IAMGold share 196,101 ounces) in 2000 and increased 16% from the 545,499 ounces (IAMGold share 207,290 ounces) in 1999. 95,000 ounces of the gold sold in 2001 represented gold produced in the fourth quarter of 2000, but which were only dispatched for sale in January 2001 due to various administrative delays.

        The average realized gold price of $282 per ounce in 2001 was lower than the $296 per ounce achieved in 2000 and $306 per ounce achieved in 1999. The premium above the average spot price of $272 per ounce in 2001 ($281 per ounce in 2000, $278 per ounce in 1999) resulted from financial instrument proceeds.

C-11



        The following is a summary of the Sadiola mine cash costs:

 
  2001
  2000
  1999
 
Direct cash costs*   $ 119   $ 102   $ 102  
Production taxes and AngloGold fees     24     21     22  
   
 
 
 
Total cash costs   $ 143   $ 123   $ 124  
Stockpile adjustment     (7 )   (9 )   (5 )
   
 
 
 
Total operating cash costs   $ 136   $ 114   $ 119  
   
 
 
 

*
Direct cash costs include a non-cash allowance for closure costs of $2 per ounce.

        This cash cost continues to make Sadiola one of the lower-cost operating gold mines in the world. Per ounce cash costs increased in 2001 mostly due to an 11 percent decrease in headgrades (3.4 g/t in 2001, 3.8 g/t in 2000, 3.3 g/t in 1999), a 2 percent decrease in recoveries, a higher strip ratio and a small decrease in plant throughput. Cash costs per ounce improved in 2000 compared to 1999 due mostly to improved grade.

        Mill throughput averaged 444,000 tonnes per month in 2001 for a total of 5.3 million tonnes (445,000 tonnes per month in 2000 for a total of 5.3 million tonnes, 430,000 tonnes per month in 1999 for a total of 5.2 million tonnes). Recoveries decreased to 93.6 percent in 2001, compared to the 95.5 percent achieved in 2000 and 97 percent in 1999. Sulphidic material affected both throughput and recoveries in 2001.

        Material mined in 2001 amounted to 16.7 million tonnes as compared to the 15.5 million tonnes mined in 2000 and 14.5 million tonnes in 1999. Waste of 9.3 million tonnes (56 percent) was extracted in 2001 as compared to the 7.1 million tonnes (46 percent) in 2000 and 6.3 million tonnes (44 percent) in 1999. Marginal ore mined in 2001 and 2000 was 2.2 million tonnes (2.0 million tonnes in 1999). Full-grade ore of 5.2 million tonnes was mined in 2001 in comparison to the 6.2 million tonnes in both 2000 and 1999, resulting in a strip ratio of 2.2 for 2001 (calculated as waste plus marginal ore divided by full-grade ore) compared to 1.5 in 2000 and 1.4 in 1999. The percentage of ore rehandled in 2001 was 79 percent (74 percent in 2000, 67 percent in 1999).

Sadiola Deep Sulphides Drilling

        During 1997 and 1998, the Company spent $3.2 million to drill mineralization below the existing open pit of the Sadiola Gold Mine. Based on the short to medium-term benefits generated by the program, Sadiola reimbursed the Company $2 million at the end of 1998, when it decided to assume responsibility for the sulphide drilling initiative. Subsequently, the Company was reimbursed the remaining $1.2 million, with interest, by Sadiola in January 2001.

        Sadiola commenced Phase IV of the sulphides drilling program in August 2001. Phase IV was completed in February 2002 and it is expected that a Phase V drill program will commence mid-2002 with a budget of approximately $2 million.

YATELA GOLD MINE

        The Company owns an indirect 40 percent interest in a Malian registered company, La Societe d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Yatela S.A. (Yatela). Yatela holds the mining and exploration permits for the Yatela Gold Mine in western Mali, 25 kilometres northwest of the Sadiola Gold Mine. AngloGold also owns an indirect 40 percent interest in Yatela and the Republic of Mali holds the remaining 20 percent. AngloGold is the mine operator.

        The Yatela Concession was purchased in 1998 for $7.5 million. An additional $9.8 million was spent during 1998 ($5.5 million) and 1999 ($4.3 million) for additional work. The costs included drilling, evaluation of various mining and processing alternatives and the design on a 2.5 million tonnes per year heap leach operation, which was identified as the most attractive option. This work formed the basis for a feasibility study, which was submitted to the Government of Mali in late 1999.

C-12



        In anticipation of a positive project decision from the Government of Mali, additional programs were conducted in late 1999 and early 2000 to maintain the momentum of the project. The anticipated positive project decision was received March 2000 and work began on the $75 million construction phase. At this time, Yatela acquired the Sadiola North Concession, valued at almost $6 million, from Sadiola Exploration Ltd. (SADEX), a company owned equally by IAMGold and Anglogold.

        On July 4, 2001, commercial production at Yatela commenced and from that time to December 31, 2001 the mine has produced 130,948 ounces (IAMGold share 52,379 ounces) of gold and sold 127,480 ounces (IAMGold share 50,992 ounces) of gold.

        Gold sales realized $278 per ounce, the average spot price in the last half of 2001. The mine is entirely unhedged and has no intention of introducing financial instruments at this time.

        The following is a summary of the Yatela mine cash costs:

 
  2001(1)
 
Direct cash costs(2)   $ 138  
Production taxes and AngloGold fees     20  
   
 
Total cash costs   $ 158  
Stockpile adjustment     (30 )
Fixed stripping adjustment     32  
Gold in process     (10 )
   
 
Total operating cash costs   $ 150  
   
 

(1)
Commercial production period beginning July 4, 2001.
(2)
Includes a non-cash allowance for closure costs of $7 per ounce and pad preparation costs of $2 per ounce (capitalized for accounting purposes).

        As at Sadiola, the direct cash cost is calculated as the total production-related period cash costs (including closure allowances) divided by period production. This cash cost also ranks Yatela as one of the lower-cost operating gold mines in the world.

        During the commercial production period in 2001, an average of 204,000 tonnes of ore were stacked per month for a total of 1.2 million tonnes, the average headgrade was 4.3 g/t, and the average gold recovery was 76.5 percent. Recoveries are calculated by dividing gold ounces stacked by gold ounces recovered within any given period. Stacking of higher grades later in the year affected the recovery calculation.

        Material mined during the commercial production period in 2001 amounted to 7.3 million tonnes. 5.2 million tonnes (71 percent) of waste was extracted while 0.3 million tonnes (5 percent) of marginal ore and 1.8 million tonnes (24 percent) of full-grade ore were mined for the period, representing an average stripping ratio of 3.1:1 (calculated as waste plus marginal ore divided by full-grade ore). The percentage of ore rehandled for the commercial production period in 2001 was 100 percent.

C-13



        The cost of the Yatela mine and the Company's funding, by year, were as follows:

 
  Yatela (100%)
  IAMGold Funding
 
  ($ millions)

1998        
  — purchase   7.5   3.8
  — work   5.5   1.7
1999        
  — work   4.3   1.3
2000        
  — work   1.4   0.5
  — Sadiola North Concession   5.9   3.0
  — construction   34.5   11.2
2001        
  — construction   39.0   12.7
   
 
    98.1   34.2
   
 

        Due to an earlier agreement between the Company and AngloGold, AngloGold assumed a portion of the Company's funding obligation for Yatela construction. Consequently, AngloGold funded $15 million on behalf of the Company. This funding constituted a loan to the Company bearing interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 2 percent. Interest accrued on this loan was $1 million at December 31, 2001.

        The Yatela mining permit provides for the return of the project investment, plus interest, to the providers of the capital (IAMGold and AngloGold), before any funds are released to the project shareholders. Interest was calculated at the LIBOR plus 2 percent until April 2000 and LIBOR plus 3 percent thereafter. Under the Company's agreement with AngloGold, funds will be received from Yatela in the same proportion as they were contributed, i.e. 35 percent for the Company and 65 percent for AngloGold. In December 2001, Yatela made principal payments to AngloGold and the Company totaling $7.4 million, of which IAMGold received $2.7 million.

        A further $1 million of the $7.4 million was applied against the Yatela loan and Government of Mali note receivable outstanding. IAMGold receives 50 percent of all loan repayments, including the Government of Mali's free and carried 10 percent share. However, loans from AngloGold amounting to 15 percent are also repaid from these proceeds. Hence, 35 percent net cash receipts (50 percent minus 15 percent).

EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

        The Company expenses costs incurred to the date of establishing that a property has potentially economically exploitable mineral resources. Costs after this date are capitalized until the projects are brought into production or deemed economically unfeasible. Any exploration administration costs not directly related to a specific exploration property are expensed when incurred.

        For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 the Company spent $6.2 million, $9.4 million and $9.1 million respectively to advance various exploration properties in South America and Africa. These figures represent non-capitalized exploration spending for work in South America, the Bambadji and Daorala-Boto permits in Senegal and the AfriOre joint venture in South Africa. Exploration administration costs of $1.3 million in 2001 and 2000 and $1.7 million in 1999 were also included in the respective exploration expenditures.

AFRICAN EXPLORATION PROPERTIES

SADEX

        Sadex held exploration permits covering an aggregate area of 198 square kilometers to the north and south of the Sadiola mining permit area. The north concession was incorporated into Yatela and the south concession was incorporated into Sadiola in 2000.

C-14



        No work was completed on the SADEX concessions in 2000 and minimal work was completed in 1999, other than that related to Yatela. Anglogold funded the Company's share of exploration programs on these two concessions. This funding constituted a loan to the Company bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2%. The loan of $3.3 million was repaid from the Company's share of profit distributions from Sadiola in 2000.

        The Company and Anglogold have an arrangement to jointly fund regional exploration in the 75-kilometre zone surrounding the Sadiola Gold Mine. Each company is responsible for funding its 50% share of expenditures in this undertaking. No exploration was conducted and hence, no costs incurred, in 2000 ($1.2 million in 1999) on the program. The Company's 50% share in 1999 was $0.6 million and these expenditures were expensed as incurred.

Senegal

        The Company spent $1.1 million on exploration within the Bambadji and Daorala-Boto concessions in 2001 ($1.4 million in 2000, $0.4 million in 1999).

        A reverse circulation (RC) drill program conducted on Boto in early 2001 provided encouraging results. A follow-up drill program commenced in April 2001 to define controls on the mineralization and to test extensions to the mineralized zones and some encouraging mineralized sections were encountered.

        On the Bambadji permit, further geochemical sampling, geological sampling and trenching were carried out in early 2001 to define drill targets for a drill program completed in May 2001. Some of these drill holes intersected mineralization that required further follow-up.

South Africa

        The Company spent $0.1 million in 2001 ($0.6 million in 2000, $0.8 million in 1999) within the AfriOre joint venture relating to the completion of a drill program begun in 2000. Upon completion of this drill program in 2001, the Company withdrew from the joint venture and has ceded the property back to AfriOre.

SOUTH AMERICA

        The Company reduced its South American exploration effort in 2001 with project-related expenditures totaling $3.8 million ($6.6 million in 2000, $3.7 million in 1999).

Ecuador

        Exploration spending was $2 million in 2001 ($3.5 million in 2000, $0.7 million in 1999).

        Work in 2001 involved an initial drill campaign on the Retazos project, which began in June 2000. The geological model was modified based on drill results and is currently being evaluated. In addition, drilling intersected previously unknown veins containing low gold grades but with geological characteristics similar to those comprising the old Portovelo mine.

        The Company also continued to advance other targets, including Filon, Norcay and Quimsacocha.

        In October 2001, Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Limited (Rio Tinto) and the Company established a joint venture on the Filon project, where Rio Tinto would acquire a 55 percent interest in this project by funding $4 million of work with a minimum committed expenditure of $0.5 million. A seven-hole core-drilling program was completed in March 2002 and on the basis of the drill results, Rio Tinto has withdrawn from the project.

        Since Rio Tinto funded the work on the Filon project in 2001, the spending is not reported in the Company's exploration spending.

Argentina

        Exploration spending was $0.7 million in 2001 ($1.1 million in 2000, $1.4 million in 1999).

        Effective June 2000, the Company and Rio Tinto established a joint venture agreement on the Las Mellizas property (MESA project area). The agreement allowed Rio Tinto to earn a 55 percent interest in the

C-15


Las Mellizas property by spending $3 million over three years with a minimum committed expenditure of $0.5 million. The Company managed all exploration work in this joint venture, with Rio Tinto having the option to become operator once the minimum expenditure was completed. Drill programs were undertaken in 2001 to test targets for open-pitable disseminated mineralization, with negative results. The exploration work, however, identified low sulphidation epithermal vein targets and results from three RC holes indicated the possibility of high-grade payshoots. Rio Tinto subsequently concluded that the epithermal vein system on the property did not constitute a Rio Tinto-type exploration target and withdrew from the joint venture in the second quarter of 2001.

        In October 2001, the Company began a core-drilling program on the Las Mellizas property, which failed to intersect extensions to the very high-grade mineralization previously encountered.

        In December 2000, the Company established a joint venture with Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) on the Cerro Abanico target (Los Menucos project area). The agreement allowed CVRD to earn a 50 percent interest in this project by funding $3.5 million of work over 3 years with a minimum initial funding of $0.8 million before December 2001. The Company managed all exploration work in this joint venture. Drill programs to test gold anomalies were completed in the first half of 2001 and CVRD proceeded with an additional drill program to follow up on significant intersections and test other targets. CVRD has subsequently withdrawn from the project.

        Funding by Rio Tinto and CVRD were not reported in the Company's exploration spending.

        The advancement of other drill targets continued in 2001.

Brazil

        Expenditures amounted to $1 million in 2001 ($2 million in 2000, $1.6 million in 1999).

        Work in 2001 continued to focus on the Moeda project in south central Brazil and the Tocantins joint venture project in central Brazil.

        In 2000, the Company expanded its land package within the Moeda project area by finalizing an option agreement with Mineracoes Brasileiras Reunidas S/A (MBR). The agreement allows for the Company to acquire mineral rights within the Moeda project area by making annual option payments totaling $275,000 over five years, after which a 1 percent net smelter royalty will be payable to MBR. The company now controls all relevant mineral rights within the Moeda project area. A due diligence study completed in 1999 and a drill program in 2000 has confirmed a resource of 700,000 ounces of gold on the initial Industrias Nucleares do Brasil (INB) property. Drilling on the MBR property to test the extension of the MBR mineralized zone was completed in the first half of 2001 with mixed results. Efforts to find a joint venture partner to fund further work on the Moeda project continue.

        The Tocantins project involves exploration on properties held by the Company and on joint venture properties held by AngloGold, in which the Company can earn a 50 percent interest by spending $3 million over 5 years. Work in 2001 included surface and underground mapping at Chapada. An initial drill program commenced in June 2001 to test the mineralized zone below the informal underground workings at Chapada. The drill holes intersected the veins but gold values were generally low.

Consolidated Results

        The Company generated a profit of $10.9 million ($0.15 per share) in 2001 compared to $10.0 million ($0.14 per share) in 2000 and $14.2 million ($0.19 per share) in 1999. Net income from mining operations of $24.3 million in 2001 was $1.4 million greater than in 2000 and $1.9 million greater than in 1999. Administration costs of $2.5 million ($4.3 million in 2000, $2.4 million in 1999) were reduced due to lower bonuses being paid in 2001 compared to the bonuses of CAD$1.5 million in 2000 and a general decrease in corporate expenditures. Exploration expenses of $6.2 million in 2001 were $3.2 million lower than in 2000 and $2.8 million lower than in 1999 in a planned effort to target expenditures only on drill-stage projects.

        In 2001, the Company recorded a non-cash provision for future income taxes of $4.3 million. The taxes relate to certain Sadiola profits, which must be repatriated to Canada. The Company expects that the effect of future corporate expenses will shelter these amounts, resulting in virtually no payment of cash taxes in the future.

Results from Mining Operations

        The Company's 2001 consolidated gold revenue of $82 million increased from the $58 million generated in 2000 and $63 million in 1999. Sadiola gold sales of 630,640 ounces in 2001 (Company's share 239,643 ounces) increased 22 percent from the 516,055 ounces in 2000 (Company's share 196,101 ounces) and increased 16% from the 545,499 ounces (IAMGold share 207,290 ounces) in 1999. Yatela gold sales from the start of commercial production on July 4, 2001 were 127,480 ounces (Company's share 50,992 ounces), representing the biggest factor in the increase. The deferral of 95,000 ounces (Company's share 36,000 ounces) produced in 2000 but shipped in the first week of 2001 was also a large contributing factor.

        Consolidated revenue of $282 per ounce sold in 2001 was lower than the $296 per ounce achieved during 2000 and $306 per ounce achieved in 1999. The premiums achieved above the average spot prices of $272 per ounce for 2001, $281 per ounce for 2000 and $278 per ounce for 1999 were due to financial instruments at Sadiola. All Yatela sales were made at spot prices. In addition, $2.7 million of hedge profits were deferred in 2001 ($2.3 million in 2000, nil in 1999). This $5 million of deferred hedge profits are non-cash items and will be realized as income equally over the next three years.

        The Company's share of Sadiola and Yatela operating expenses of $57.3 million in 2001 was $22.2 million higher than the $35.1 million expense incurred by Sadiola in 2000 and $16.3 million higher than the $41.0 million expense incurred by Sadiola in 1999. Additional gold sales from Sadiola, new sales from Yatela, and higher cash costs compared to 2000 and 1999 created the increase.

        Total consolidated cash costs in 2001 of $146 per ounce increased from $123 per ounce in 2000 and $124 per ounce in 1999. Sadiola cash costs increased from a combination of lower grade and lower recovery compared to 2000 and 1999. Yatela cash costs were within expectations but were higher than Sadiola costs in 2000 and hence, influenced the 2001 cash cost figure.

        Depreciation of $15.6 million in 2001 was $2.9 million higher than the $12.7 million in 2000 and $3.2 million higher than the $12.4 million in 1999, due mostly to Yatela.

        Interest expense of $2.9 million in 2001 was lower than the $4.6 million incurred in 2000 and $5.8 million recorded in 1999. The Company's share of Sadiola debt decreased to $12 million at the end of 2001 from $35 million at the end of 2000 and $59 million at the end of 1999. Scheduled debt repayments were made in May and November 2001. The Company's Yatela project debt of $15 million at the end of 2001 increased from $9 million at the end of 2000 (nil in 1999).

C-17



Administration and Exploration Costs

        General and administrative expenses in 2001 were $2.5 million ($4.3 million in 2000, $2.4 million in 1999). This decrease reflects a reduction in management bonuses, salaries and general corporate costs.

        Foreign exchange losses were $1.1 million in 2001 compared to the $0.9 million in 2000 and a gain of $1.9 million in 1999. Canadian dollar balances were translated to US dollars for financial statement purposes. The rate at the beginning of 2001 was 1.50. The rate weakened throughout the year to end at 1.59. As a result of the change in exchange rates, the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar balances decreased when measured in US dollars. Foreign exchange losses were partly mitigated by the transfer of most Canadian dollar balances into US dollars at a rate of 1.53 in May 2001.

        Exploration costs of $6.2 million in 2001 decreased from the $9.4 million in 2000 and $9.1 million in 1999 due to reduced exploration budgets. Included in exploration is exploration administration of $1.3 million in 2001 and 2000 and $1.7 million in 1999. All exploration expenditures incurred in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were expensed.

        West African exploration expenditures were $1.1 million in 2001 ($0.9 million in 2000, $0.4 million in 1999) and are related to Senegal expenditures. 2000 spending in Senegal of $1.4 million was partly offset by $0.5 million in accruals no longer required. There was no other West African exploration activity in 2001.

        South African exploration expenditures were $0.1 million in 2001 compared to $0.6 million in 2000 and $0.8 million in 1999. At the completion of the second hole, the Company withdrew from the joint venture and ceded the property back to AfriOre.

        South American exploration expenditures were $3.8 million in 2001 compared to $6.6 million in 2000 and $3.7 million in 1999. A concerted effort was made to reduce total exploration project spending to $5 million in 2001.

        Net corporate interest receipts of $0.7 million in 2001 decreased from $1.9 million in 2000 and $1.3 million in 1999. Average corporate cash reserves in 2001 decreased due to the Yatela project funding. Corporate discretionary cash increased in September 2001 with the Sadiola cash distribution and in December 2001 with the Yatela shareholder loan repayment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

        Cash comprised a current portion of $25.3 million ($36.8 million in 2000) and a current restricted portion of $6 million ($6.8 million in 2000). At December 31, 2001 the Company held $14 million ($27.5 million in 2000) of non-restricted current cash and all debt was non-recourse to the Company. The remaining current cash balance of $11.3 million ($9.3 million in 2000) represented the Company's proportionate share of Sadiola and Yatela cash, which is currently restricted for use by those companies.

        Cash of $6.0 million in 2001 ($6.8 million in 2000) related to escrow requirements on long-term debt is recorded in current assets. This balance, representing the next principal and interest payment on Senior debt at Sadiola, earns interest for the Sadiola account. The final payment in May 2002 will release the escrow requirement.

        The Company's year-end non-cash working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased by $8.1 million in 2001 ($6 million increase in 2000). Non-restricted cash decreased $11.5 million in 2001 (decreased $22.9 million in 2000). The Company's share of non-restricted current cash held in Sadiola increased by $1.8 million in 2001 (decreased by $19.9 million in 2000). This increase is a result of reduced profit distributions made in 2001, net of investments in sulphide exploration programs and plant modifications to the existing oxide plant to treat sulphidic saprolite ore. Corporate discretionary cash decreased by $13.5 million in 2001 (decreased by $4.2 million in 2000) as cash was used to fund Yatela construction, exploration and corporate activities, net of the Sadiola cash distribution of $3.8 million and Yatela net shareholder loan repayment of $2.7 million. The 2000 decrease resulted from cash used to fund Yatela construction, exploration and corporate activities in excess of the Sadiola cash distribution of $19 million to the Company in 2000.

        The 1999 decrease resulted from cash used to fund Yatela construction, exploration and corporate activities in excess of the Sadiola cash distribution of $3.8 million to the Company in 1999.

C-18



        In 2001, Sadiola paid a profit distribution of $10 million (Company's share $3.8 million) compared to the profit distribution of $50 million (Company's share $19 million) paid in 2000 and $10 million (Company's share $3.8 million) paid in 1999.

        The current portion of long-term debt decreased by $11.9 million in 2001 (decreased by $3.5 million in 2000), reflecting only one Sadiola payment remaining at the end of 2001 rather than the two current payments remaining at the end of 2000 and 1999. The Sadiola debt will be repaid in May 2002. The 2001 amounts are based on meeting all scheduled loan repayments at Sadiola.

        Corporate discretionary cash in 2001 increased by $3.8 million related to net profit distributions from Sadiola, by $2.7 million related to net Yatela shareholder loan repayments, by $1.3 million related to deep sulphides repayment from Sadiola and by $1.0 million for interest income. A loss of $1.1 million from holding Canadian dollars, which weakened against the US dollar, was recorded. Corporate discretionary cash of $21.2 million was used for Yatela construction funding ($12.7 million), exploration ($5 million), corporate and exploration administration ($3.8 million) and fixed asset purchases and a working capital decrease ($0.3 million).

Mine Property

        The Company's share of mine additions was $16.8 million in 2001 ($21 million in 2000, $3.4 million in 1999). All additions at Sadiola are funded directly by Sadiola, without cash contributions from the Company. The Company and AngloGold funded the additions at Yatela.

Note Receivable

        The note receivable balance at December 31, 2001 of $8.6 million ($5 million in 2000) represents the Company's portion of the Yatela funding relating to the Government of Mali's 20 percent free and carried interest in Yatela. The note will be repaid from Yatela cash flows before Yatela pays any dividends to its shareholders.

Long Term Debt

        The Company's share of long-term loans payable at December 31, 2001 related to funding for construction of the Sadiola Gold Mine of $11.6 million ($35 million in 2000), Yatela construction loans of $15 million ($9 million in 2000) and a SADEX exploration loan of $4.3 million in 1999. These loans are non-recourse to the Company and are only secured against cash flows of the respective mines.

        Sadiola made all scheduled Senior and Subordinated Lender payments in 2001 and 2000.

        A $3.3 million repayment was made from the Company's share of profit distributions from Sadiola to settle the SADEX loan in 2000.

        The Yatela loan is repayable only from Yatela cash flow. The Company's share of Yatela shareholder loan repayments will be repaid from Yatela cash flow to the shareholders that have provided the loan financing (IAMGold and AngloGold), before Yatela makes profit distributions to its shareholders. $1 million of the Company's 50 percent share of Yatela loan repayments in 2001 were applied against the Yatela construction loans.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In December 2001, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issued new accounting recommendations related to stock-based compensation. The recommendations set out different rules for employees and non-employees. Employees are narrowly defined and the Company is of the opinion that certain individuals will be categorized as non-employees for this purpose.

        For individuals captured under the definition of employees, no change in accounting will be applied related to stock-based compensation. However, the Company is required to separately disclose the effect on income of all employee-based compensation as if the Company accounted for these items using the fair value method.

        For individuals considered as non-employees, stock-based compensation will be included as a charge to the income statement using a fair value based method of accounting.

C-19



        The Company has adopted this section effective January 1, 2002. No restatement of prior years' results relating to stock-based compensation for non-employees is required. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the recommendations will have a material impact on the Company's future financial condition or results of operations.

RISK FACTORS

Fluctuations in Gold Prices

        The profitability of the Company's operations will be significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold. Mine production and the willingness of third parties such as Central Banks to sell or lease gold affect the supply of gold. Demand for gold can be influenced by economic conditions, attractiveness as an investment vehicle and the strength of the US dollar. Other factors include the level of interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, and political stability. With Sadiola and Yatela, the Company is positioned as a low cost producer. Any price decline would delay the Company receiving profit distributions from Sadiola. No profit distributions at Yatela will be made until all capital invested in the project, with interest, has been repaid from Yatela cash flow.

        To partially mitigate any decline in gold price, the Sadiola financial instrument position at December 31, 2001 was as follows:

Year

  Forward Sales (oz)
  Average Price (US$)
  Call Options Sold (oz)
  Average Price (US$)
2002   85,000   $ 271   30,000   $ 385
2003         30,000   $ 385
2004         30,000   $ 385

        The AngloGold gold marketing department will implement any additional financial instruments as deemed appropriate by the Sadiola Board. At this time, it is the opinion of the Sadiola Board that further financial instruments at Sadiola are not appropriate.

        There are no financial instruments in place at Yatela and no plans to put any such financial instruments in place.

Political Risk

        The Company strongly believes that governments in the countries in which it currently operates firmly support the development of their natural resources by foreign companies. There is no assurance that future political and economic conditions in these countries will not result in their governments adopting different policies respecting foreign ownership of mineral resources, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental protection, labour relations, repatriation of income and return of capital. The possibility that a future government in any of these countries may adopt substantially different policies, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out.

        In the case of Sadiola, the existence of the Government of Mali as an 18 percent shareholder and International Finance Corporation, an affiliate of the World Bank, as a 6 percent shareholder should assist in mitigating the political risks noted above. In the case of Yatela, the existence of the Government of Mali as a 20 percent shareholder should also assist in mitigating the political risks.

Currency Risk

        Currency fluctuations should not affect the cash flow the Company will realize from its operations. Gold is quoted in US dollars and sold in the world market. At Sadiola and Yatela, the majority of the operating costs and debt repayments are denominated in US dollars. A majority of the exploration costs are in US dollars. A small portion of expenditures are payable in the local currencies of Mali, Senegal, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina.

        In January 2002, the Company converted the majority of its corporate cash balances to gold bullion. A one-month working capital cash balance will be maintained on an ongoing basis. As a result, the Company is fully exposed to further changes in gold prices.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
Years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

        The Company was incorporated under the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act on March 27, 1990. It is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties, primarily in West Africa and South America.

1.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Summarized below are those policies considered significant to the Company. Reference to the Company included herein means the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures.

    (a)
    Basis of consolidation:

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for by the proportionate consolidation method. Significant joint ventures include La Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola ("Sadiola") and La Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Yatela ("Yatela").

    (b)
    Revenue recognition:

      Revenue is recognized when the significant risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer and the revenue can be reliably measured.

    (c)
    Inventories and long-term inventory:

      Gold (doré and gold in process), mine supplies and ore stockpiles are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value.

    (d)
    Mining interests, development and exploration properties:

      Exploration expenses incurred to the date of establishing that a property has mineral resources which have the potential of being economically recoverable are charged against earnings; exploration and development costs incurred subsequent to this date are capitalized until such time as the projects are brought into production or are deemed economically unfeasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, all related capitalized expenditures are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of mine life or 10 years. If a property is abandoned, the related project balances are written off.

      All deferred balances are written off when a property is deemed economically unfeasible. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability for impairment.

      The recovery of deferred expenditures is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company and its joint venture partners to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and development, certain government approvals and future profitable production.

      All administrative costs that do not directly relate to a specific exploration and development activity are expensed as incurred. Interest costs are not capitalized until a decision to develop a mine on a property is approved.

    (e)
    Plant and equipment:

      Plant and equipment are depreciated annually on a straight-line basis using rates of 5% to 33%.

    (f)
    Reclamation and mine closure costs:

      Estimated reclamation and mine closure costs are accrued and charged to earnings over the estimated life of the mine. These estimated costs are based on currently enacted legislation. Ongoing reclamation costs are charged to income in the year they are incurred.

    (g)
    Translation of foreign currencies:

      The functional currency of the Company, its subsidiaries and joint ventures is considered to be the United States dollar. Exchange gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in earnings in the current year.

    (h)
    Fair values of financial instruments:

      The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (which include investments with remaining maturities of less than 90 days on purchase), accounts receivable and other, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

      Variable rate non-recourse debt and note receivable instruments are estimated to approximate fair values as rates are tied to short-term indices.

C-25



    (i)
    Hedging:

      The Company enters into hedging transactions, from time to time, in order to manage exposure to decreasing prices on the sale of future production. Contracted prices on forward sales are recognized in sales as designated production is delivered to meet the commitment.

    (j)
    Income taxes:

      The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

      Provisions are made for tax liabilities on anticipated repatriation of unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures.

    (k)
    Stock-based compensation plans:

      The Company has two stock-based compensation plans, which are described in note 7. No compensation expense is recognized for these plans when stock or stock options are issued to employees. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital. If stock or stock options are repurchased from employees, the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock or stock option cancelled is charged to retained earnings.

    (l)
    Use of estimates:

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported year. The most significant estimates relate to the carrying values of mining and exploration properties, depreciation and depletion rates and accrued liabilities and contingencies. Actual results could be materially different from those estimates.

2.    CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY:

    Foreign currency translation:

    During 2001, the Company adopted the amendments to Section 1650 of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook, Foreign Currency Translation. Section 1650 eliminates the deferral and amortization of foreign currency translation gains and losses on long-lived monetary items. Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2000 decreased $0.01 (1999 — nil) per share as a result of this change in accounting policy. This change has been applied retroactively with prior periods being restated. There is no material effect on net income for 2001. The effect of the prior period adjustment to opening retained earnings is summarized as follows:

Increase in retained earnings and decrease in deferred translation gain on non-recourse loans payable on January 1, 1999   $ 1,188  
Increase in net income for 1999     75  
   
 
Change in retained earnings and decrease in deferred translation gain on non-recourse loans payable, December 31, 1999     1,263  
Decrease in net income for 2000     (825 )
   
 
Change in retained earnings and decrease in deferred translation gain on non-recourse loans payable, December 31, 2000   $ 438

    Mining interests are held through:

    (a)
    A 38% interest in the Sadiola joint venture which holds a mining permit covering the Sadiola Concession. Other shareholders include Anglogold Limited ("Anglogold") (38%), the Government of Mali ("GOM") (18%) and International Finance Corporation ("IFC") (6%).

    (b)
    A 40% indirect interest in the Yatela joint venture which holds a mining permit and the exploration rights covering the Yatela Gold Concession. Other shareholders include Anglogold (40%) and the GOM (20%).

      Construction of the Yatela mine commenced during 2000 and was completed in June 2001. The Company and Anglogold provided funding for all construction costs.

      The GOM 20% ownership in Yatela is a free and carried interest. As at December 31, 2001, the note receivable of $8,556,000 (2000 — $5,005,000), included in long-term receivables, represents the Company's portion of all funding made on behalf of the GOM. The note bears interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2% until April 2000 and LIBOR plus 3% thereafter. Principal and interest amounts will be repaid from future Yatela operating cash flows.

C-29


    (d)
    Earnings per share:

      In 2001, CICA Handbook Section 3500, Earnings per Share, was adopted. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

8.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

    (a)
    The Company has obtained management, office and other services from companies controlled by shareholders of the Company in the amount of $466,338 (2000 — $1,127,100; 1999 — $456,411), which are included in corporate administration expense. These amounts have been recorded at the exchange amount.

    (b)
    Included in other assets are loans to employees, consisting of an employee loan of Cdn. $1.4 million ($0.9), which was provided for the purchase of 250,000 common shares, a loan of Cdn. $0.3 million ($0.2), which was provided for the purchase of 100,000 common shares and a housing assistance loan of Cdn. $0.1 million ($0.1). The share purchase loans are non-interest bearing and are collateralized by the common shares issued. The Cdn. $1.4 million loan is payable upon sale of common shares and matures on March 8, 2006. The Cdn. $0.3 million loan is payable upon sale of common shares and matures on December 9, 2006. The housing assistance loan is non-interest bearing, collateralized by a second mortgage on the property and repayable on March 27, 2007.

9.    INCOME TAXES:

    The main components that give rise to future tax assets and future tax liabilities are as follows:

 
  2001
  2000
 
Future tax assets:              
  Plant and equipment   $ 73   $ 111  
  Foreign exploration and development expenses     3     69  
  Share issue costs     123     259  
  Non-capital losses     658      
  Corporate minimum tax credit     184     80  
   
 
 
      1,041     519  
Future tax liability:              
  Net profits interest     (5,181 )    
   
 
 
      (4,140 )   519  
Valuation allowance         (374 )
   
 
 
Net future tax asset (liability)   $ (4,140 ) $ 145  
   
 
 

    Income tax expense differs from the amount that would have been computed by applying the combined federal and provincial statutory income tax rate of 42% (2000 — 44%; 1999 — 45%) to income before income taxes. The reasons for the differences are a result of the following:

 
  2001
  2000
  1999
 
Income before income taxes   $ 15,180   $ 10,155   $ 14,194  
Computed expected tax expense   $ 6,394   $ 4,430   $ 6,400  
Increase (decrease) in income taxes, resulting from:                    
  Foreign earnings not subject to taxation     (1,017 )   (4,140 )   (580 )
  Change in valuation allowance     (374 )   (258 )   (5,820 )
  Reduction in corporate income tax rates     (789 )   (19 )    
  Corporate minimum tax         101      
  Other     18     (9 )    
   
 
 
 
    $ 4,232   $ 105   $  
   
 
 
 

    The Company has non-capital loss carryforwards as at December 31, 2001 for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $2,036,000 to reduce taxable income on or prior to 2008.

10.  CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS:

    (a)
    The Company is a defendant in an action commenced in the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) by Kinbauri Gold Corporation ("Kinbauri"). Kinbauri's position is that it is entitled to specific performance of an amalgamation agreement between the Company and Kinbauri or damages in the amount of Cdn. $10 million, plus interest from April 1991 and costs. The Company denies the claim for specific performance and the damages claimed by Kinbauri.

      The Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) separated the action into two issues: the issue of liability and the issue of damages. In May 1999, a decision was issued by the trial judge with respect to the issue of liability. The trial judge heard no evidence and made no finding as to the issue of damages. The trial judge found that the Company failed to use best efforts to fulfill the conditions of a proposed amalgamation with Kinbauri. This decision was upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal in November 2000. An application by the Company for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was dismissed on September 13, 2001. The damages portion of the trial commenced on January 21, 2002, at which time, the plaintiff amended its claim to add a claim for punitive damages in the amount of Cdn. $2 million.

      Management believes that if the plaintiff is ultimately successful in asserting its claim for damages, the settlement of this issue will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

C-31



      The damages portion of the trial was completed on March 1, 2002, at which time, the trial judge reserved judgement.

    (b)
    The Company's Sadiola joint venture has been subject to a stamp duty on gold exports from April 1, 2000 equal to 1% (Company's share — $1,141,000 (2000 — $439,000)) of the value of gold exported. An arbitration disputing the stamp duty has been commenced in Paris pursuant to the shareholders' agreement with Mali. A decision is expected in 2003.

    (c)
    At December 31, 2001, the Company had contractual commitments for capital expenditures totalling $4.7 million.

11.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The fair value of the call options represented a liability of $65,000, which was included in accounts payable.

    During 2001, the Company restructured and sold the majority of its forward contracts. Accounting revenue will be recognized in accordance with the original terms when the contracts were entered into.

    The Company's $17.4 million (2000 — $16.1 million; 1999 — $35.1 million) share of cash in certain joint ventures is restricted for use in those companies. The Sadiola cash is further restricted by requirements related to senior loans, which require the semi-annual estimated principal and interest payment to senior lenders be placed in escrow. The required escrow balance will decrease proportionally as the loan is repaid. The Company's share of the December 2001 escrow cash balance is approximately $6.0 million (2000 — $6.8 million; 1999 — $7.5 million), which will be applied against the final repayment in May 2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

        Net income for the third quarter of 2002 was $4.1 million or $0.11 per share. While net income increased by 34% from the second quarter of 2002, earnings per share increased at a lesser rate due to the increase in the average number of shares outstanding for the third quarter resulting from the issuance of 3,450,000 shares in June.

Income

        Royalty revenue in the third quarter of 2002 was $892,000. Royalty income was augmented by the recording of $350,000 of royalty revenue from Geomaque's Vueltas del Rio operation. The amount recorded was attributable to production from the start of operations in the spring of 2001 to June 30, 2002 and payment, net of withholding tax, has been received. This royalty revenue more than offsets the loss of the seasonal royalty revenue from the Golden Bear mine that was recorded in the second and third quarters of 2001. Operations at Golden Bear terminated in the fall of 2001 due to depletion of ore reserves.

        Investment income for the quarter was $1,455,000 due largely to unrealized foreign exchange gains resulting from a depreciating Canadian dollar. The Canadian dollar stood at US$0.66 at the start of the quarter and ended the quarter at US$0.63.

        Income from the Company's interest in Gold Fields Ghana Limited ("GFGL") for the third quarter 2002 was $2.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase in income is primarily attributable to the increase in the price of gold. The cash balances held by GFGL were US$31.2 million at September 30, 2002 compared to US$16.6 at June 30, 2002.

"Cash" costs conform to the definition recommended by the Gold Institute. "Cash" costs include costs from prior periods relating to the current period's production and exclude costs incurred in the current period that relate to future period's production.

        Income from the Company's interest in Abosso Goldfields Limited ("ABOSSO") for the third quarter of 2002 was $1.0 million. Gold production and cash costs for the third quarter were adversely affected as a result of the planned mining of lower grade ore. Production and costs should improve to more normal levels in successive quarters. Cash balances within Abosso were US$9.4 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to $12.7 million at June 30, 2002. Distributions of cash in excess of the needs of the operation commenced during the third quarter. In July, Repadre received a distribution of US$630,000 with a further US$840,000 received in early October.

Expenses

        General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2002 were $593,000 compared to $558,000 in the third quarter of 2001. Amortization charges for the third quarter of 2002 were $443,000 compared to $188,000 for the third quarter of 2001. The higher amortization charges result from the inclusion of amortization for the Vueltas del Rio royalty. In addition, the Company has written down the value of the Vueltas del Rio royalty by $533,000 to its estimated recoverable amount. This write-down is a result of Geomaque's reduced estimate of proven and probable mineral reserves for the deposit.

Cash Flow

        Cash provided by operations was $0.9 million ($0.02 per share) for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $0.7 million ($0.02 per share) for the third quarter of 2001. Cash from investing activities totaled $0.8 million ($0.02 per share) for the third quarter 2002 primarily as a result of cash distributions from the Company's interest in Abosso Goldfields.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At the end of the quarter, the Company's cash balances stood at $45.7 million. The Company is debt-free, has no capital commitments, and as a result, enjoys a strong balance sheet.

Risks and Uncertainties

Commodity Price Risks

        The price of gold, although currently improving, has gone through a period of depressed prices from 1998 to 2001 and could revert to these lower price levels in future. The Company does not use any derivative products to mitigate its exposure to changes in the price of gold.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        The value of the Canadian dollar depreciated by 5% during the quarter. As 100% of the Company's royalty revenue and income from GFGL and Abosso was based on the US dollar, this depreciation had a positive impact on earnings. In addition, the Company now has approximately US$16 million of monetary assets that are marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. This process results in higher levels of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses being reported than previously. The Company does not currently use any derivative products to manage its exposure to changes in US$ exchange rates.

        (in millions)
Gold Price   US$10 per ounce   $1.5
US$/C$ Exchange Rate   0.6667 to 0.6567   $0.4

D-4


Outlook

        Over successive quarters, the Company expects its stream of royalty revenues to grow significantly. For the fourth quarter of 2002, royalties from Queenstake's Magistral project in Mexico should commence as first production from this operation was achieved in October. For 2003, Aber Diamond Corporation has announced that initial diamond deliveries from the Diavik project are expected in February and sales from these deliveries will attract a 1% royalty payable to the Company. In addition, 2003 should see the start of production at Orvana's Don Mario gold operation in Bolivia.

        The GFGL and Abosso operations in Ghana are performing well and should continue to provide good financial results. All production from Tarkwa and Damang are free of price hedges. The operations at Tarkwa are currently assessing the cost/benefit of switching from the use of a contractor for mining to the use of company-owned and operated mining equipment along with the viability of constructing a conventional mill to augment the mineral reserves. Both options are expected to have positive financial implications for the Company.

        The Company's treasury is expected to grow as distributions from the Company's interests in Ghana continue. The healthy treasury allows the Company to become more aggressive in its search for new investment opportunities.

Subsequent Events

        On October 28, 2002 the respective Boards of Directors of Repadre Capital Corporation and IAMGold Corporation announced that they had unanimously approved a proposed business combination of the two companies. The combination of the two companies will be achieved by a plan of arrangement whereby Repadre shareholders will receive 1.6 IAMGold shares for each Repadre share, with IAMGold as the continuing company. A special meeting of Repadre shareholders will be convened to review the proposed plan and, if appropriate, approve the plan of arrangement. The meeting is expected to occur during January 2003.

        Some of the disclosures included in this interim report for the third quarter of 2002 represent forward-looking statements (as defined in the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are based on assumptions and estimates related to future economic and market conditions. While management reviews the reasonableness of such assumptions and estimates, unusual or unanticipated events may occur which render them inaccurate. Under such circumstances, future performances may differ materially from projections.

3.    INTEREST IN ABOSSO GOLDFIELDS LIMITED

    On January 23, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of a working interest in Abosso Goldfields Limited ("Abosso"), an unlisted Ghanaian company holding 100% of the Damang gold mine in Ghana. The purchase included 11,340,000 common shares of Abosso (18.9% of total shares outstanding) plus the assignment to Repadre of US$8,247,000 of loans owing by Abosso (21% of shareholder loans outstanding). The purchase consideration for the interest in Abosso was the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company, which at the time the agreement was announced had a value of $13,600,000.

4.    NET ROYALTY INTERESTS

    (a)
    Dolores Property

      On February 27, 2002, the Company exercised its option to purchase a 1.25% NSR royalty on all gold produced from the Dolores property in Mexico owned by Minefinders Corporation Ltd. The purchase consideration was US$325,000.

    (b)
    Manantial Espejo Property

      The Company held an effective 1.2% NSR royalty on the Manantial Espejo property in Argentina. Under the terms of a 1998 agreement, a payment of $1,250,000 became due in 2002 from a subsidiary of Black Hawk Mining Inc., the owner of the property at the time, as a decision to proceed with commercial production from the property was not made by Dec. 31, 2001. In March 2002, the royalty was sold for US$200,000 to a third party, concurrent with the sale by Black Hawk of its interests in the property. The payment from Black Hawk has been recorded as proceeds from the sale of the royalty.

    (c)
    Vueltas del Rio Property

      The Company holds a 2% NSR royalty on all precious metals produced from the Vueltas del Rio property in Honduras owned by Geomaque Explorations Ltd. The royalty rate increases by 1% for each US$100 per ounce increase in the price of gold above US$400 per ounce to a maximum rate of 5%. Production at the Vueltas del Rio mine commenced during the second quarter of 2001. In 2002, Geomaque revised downwards their estimate of the proven and probable mineral reserves of the deposit. As a result, the Company has reduced the carrying value of the Vueltas del Rio royalty to its estimated net recoverable amount.

7.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

    In 2000, CICA No. 3500 "Earnings Per Share" was adopted. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

REPADRE CAPITAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
for the years ended Dec. 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

Overview

        The Company's major asset, an 18.9% interest in Gold Fields Ghana Limited continued to provide the growth in the Company's earnings in 2001. Income from GFGL increased by 43% to $7.4 million in 2001 from $5.2 million in 2000 ($0.6 million in 1999). Net income for the Company increased in 2001 over 200% to $6.2 million or $0.21 per share from $2.8 million or $0.10 per share in 2000 (loss of $16.9 million or $0.61 per share in 1999). Net income for the Company for 2000 and 1999 has been restated as a result of the adoption of a new Canadian accounting policy for foreign currency translation. This has resulted in an increase to 2000 earnings of $41,000 and an increase to the 1999 loss of $104,000.

        In 2001, over 90% of the Company's income streams had exposure to the price of gold. The price of gold for the year 2001 averaged US$271 per ounce, a drop of US$8 per ounce from the average of US$279 per ounce for each of 2000 and 1999. Despite the low price environment for gold, the Company's asset base generated improved earnings in 2001 over 2000 and 1999.

        The Company's financial performance in 2002 will be largely determined by levels of production from its major assets, as well as by the price of gold.


Net Income

         GRAPHIC

Assets

        The Company's total assets increased by $4 million to $94 million in 2001 from a base of $90 million in 2000 and $88 million in 1999. The investment in GFGL represents the largest single asset, recorded at a value of $60 million at yearend 2001. This interest was purchased in 1999 and initially recorded at a value of $43 million. As GFGL has not yet made distributions of profits or capital to any owners, the investment has grown each year as the Company's share of profits in GFGL is added to the investment.

        For year-end 2001, the Company reviewed the carrying value of its gold-related assets using a gold price of US$300 per ounce.

Income

        Income from interests in mineral properties has risen to $9.8 million in 2001 from $8.4 million in 2000 and $3.8 million in 1999. The largest contributor has been income from the Company's interest in GFGL at $7.4 million in 2001 ($5.2 million in 2000 and $0.6 million in 1999). The increase is attributable to increasing gold production and lower operating costs at the Tarkwa mine in Ghana. Production has more than doubled to 527,000 ounces in 2001 from the 257,000 ounces produced in 1999. Cash operating costs have reduced to an average of US$164 per ounce in 2001 from an average of US$211 per ounce in 1999. It is expected that production for the foreseeable future will continue at levels similar to those attained in 2001 while cash costs will gradually start to increase as lower grade areas are mined and leach recoveries decline due to the mining of harder rock as the various open pits deepen.

        Aggregate royalty revenue in 2001, at $2.3 million, was down from the level of $3.2 million attained in each of 2000 and 1999. Royalty revenue from the Williams mine increased to a level of $1.14 million in 2001, up from the level of $0.96 million and $0.99 million in 2000 and 1999 respectively. This increase was a result of higher production levels in 2001. Royalty income from Black Hawk's El Limon mine in 2001 was $0.83 million, down from the record $1.05 million achieved in 2000 but up from the $0.74 million achieved in 1999. The variations in the level of royalties received are directly proportional to the level of gold production achieved at El Limon. The level of royalty income from Wheaton River's Golden Bear mine was dramatically reduced in 2001 at $0.28 million as operations are being wound down at that facility due to depletion of its mineral reserves. The Joe Mann mine restarted operations during 2000 and ran for a seven-month period only to shut down in November due to high operating costs. The royalty agreement was amended in 2001 and will only become payable at a gold price of US$325 per ounce or higher in future. The Company received 800,000 shares of Campbell Resources Inc. as consideration for amending the royalty agreement. The Company has not yet recorded any royalty revenue from its 2% NSR royalty on Geomaque's Vueltas del Rio mine in Honduras. The mine started up in the second quarter of 2001 and had produced on the order of 18,000 ounces of gold by the end of the year. As site break-even has not yet been achieved, Geomaque has not had the financial strength to pay the royalty although the money is due. The Company has decided not to recognize any income from this royalty until payment becomes more certain.

D-13



        Total investment income in 2001 was $0.6 million, comparable to the $0.5 million achieved in 2000 but down from $2.0 million recorded in 1999. The reason for the higher investment income in 1999 was $1.8 million of gains achieved from the one-time sale of marketable securities.

Expenses

        General and administrative expenses, at $2.7 million, were slightly below the 2000 and 1999 level of $2.8 million. This level of expenditure is not expected to change significantly in 2002.

        The level of non-cash asset write-offs recorded by the Company in 2001 was $1.1 million, significantly lower than the $3.0 million recorded in 2000 and $18.7 million recorded in 1999. The write-offs were reported in the interim financial reports as at September 30, 2001, and were comprised of two items. First, the Company recorded a write-off of $413,000 as a result of amending the terms of its royalty interest in the Joe Mann mine in Quebec. The Company also wrote off $700,000 of investment associated with Fairmile GoldTech Inc.'s Buffalo Valley project in Nevada.

D-14



Expenses

         GRAPHIC

Cash Flow

        Cash flow provided by operations was $0.1 million in 2001 compared to $0.8 million in 2000 from $4.5 million in 1999. As cash dividends have yet to be declared by GFGL, the majority of the Company's cash revenues are derived from its royalty interests.

        Net investing activities were deminimus in both 2001 and 2000 compared to $31.5 million in 1999. The primary investment in 1999 was $29.9 million to acquire Golden Knight Resources Inc. and its interest in GFGL. The $29.9 million is net of $9.4 million of common shares of the Company, $0.8 million of warrants issued and $1.7 million of cash acquired in respect of the acquisition.

        Financing activities in 2001 consisted primarily of the repayment of $1.5 million of convertible debenture and $0.2 million of other debt obligations. The remainder of the convertible debenture, totaling $1.7 million, is expected to be repaid in 2002. Until that point, interest is accruing under the debenture at the rate of 2% per annum.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Company's cash balance at year-end 2001 stood at $1.5 million compared to $2.9 million at year-end 2000 and $2.3 million at year-end 1999. Other sources of liquid funds at year-end 2001 include $0.3 million of gold bullion.

        Cash balances have been growing in the first quarter of 2002 as outstanding warrants in the Company are being exercised. In conjunction with the acquisition of Golden Knight Resources in 1999, the Company issued 2.2 million warrants exercisable to April 22, 2002 at $4.00 each on a one-for-one basis for common shares of the Company. These warrants have been in-the-money since December, 2001 and could, if fully exercised, provide $8.8 million to the Company's treasury in the near term.

        The only cash commitment of the Company for 2002 is the remaining $1.7 million to be repaid under the convertible debenture. The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements or significant capital or operating lease arrangements, purchase obligations or other contractual commitments that could materially reduce its level of liquidity.

D-15



        At year-end 2001, GFGL had cash balances of US$20 million in its treasury, a level well in excess of its foreseeable needs. As a result, the Company expects that a significant level of dividends and repayments of capital will be declared by GFGL in 2002.

        At year-end 2001, shareholders' equity stood at $91.2 million.

Risks and Uncertainties

Commodity Price Risks

        Income from GFGL is impacted by the price of gold, as are the majority of Repadre's royalty revenues. The price of gold can experience significant price movements over short periods of time, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. The Company does not currently use any derivative products to manage its exposure to changes in the price of gold.

        Revenue from diamond royalties will become a significant source of royalty revenue when the Diavik properties come into production, currently scheduled for 2003.

D-16



Average Gold Price

         GRAPHIC

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        For fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, 100% of the Company's royalty revenue and income from GFGL was based on the US dollar as both gold and diamonds are priced in US dollars. In addition, some of the Company's investments are denominated in US dollars. If the Canadian dollar appreciates, gold and diamond revenues may be reduced, as will the value of some of Repadre's US dollar denominated investments. The Company does not currently use any derivative products to manage its exposure to changes in US dollar exchange rates.

Project Risk

        Production levels at the operations in which the Company has a royalty or other interest will be influenced by a variety of factors including the geology and metallurgical properties of the orebody, the capital invested in the production facilities, the quality of management and the overall level of profitability of the operations. As a result, Repadre is exposed to operational risk but has little control over this risk. The company periodically reviews the risks of each of the operations in which it has an interest and writes down the carrying value of any interest considered impaired.

Political Risk

        Repadre holds royalties on geographically diverse properties, some of which are located in countries considered to have moderate to high political risk. The Company's largest political risk exposure is to Ghana in west Africa. The government and economy of Ghana have been and are expected to continue to be reasonably stable. The Company is comfortable with the level of risk assumed with its exposure to Ghana and to other geographic areas.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In December 2001, the Accounting Standards Board of the CICA issued Handbook Section 3870. Section 3870 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments made in exchange for goods and services provided by employees and non-employees. It applies to transactions in which shares of common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments are granted or liabilities incurred based on the price of common stock or other equity instruments.

        Section 3870 sets out a fair value based method of accounting that is required for certain, but not all, stock-based transactions. Section 3870 must be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees, and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock, that call for settlement in cash or other assets, or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. However, the new standard permits the Company to continue its existing policy that no compensation cost is recorded on the grant of stock

D-18



options to employees. Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and contributed surplus.

        Section 3870, however, does require additional disclosures for options granted to employees, including disclosure of pro forma earnings and pro forma earnings per share as if the fair value based accounting method had been used to account for employee stock options.

        The Company will adopt Section 3870 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Outlook

        On January 23, 2002, Repadre completed the acquisition of an 18.9% interest in Abosso Goldfields which operates the Damang mine in Ghana. In 2002, the financial results of the Company will be largely influenced by the performance of GFGL's Tarkwa operation and Abosso's Damang operation in Ghana. The expected attributable production of gold for Repadre from these two mines in 2002 is expected to be on the order of 160,000 ounces compared to the 100,000 ounces of attributable production from the Tarkwa mine alone in 2001. Royalty revenue for 2002 is expected to be comparable to the level of 2001. As a result of the Ghanaian operations, the Company's net income should exhibit substantial growth in 2002, especially if the recent recovery in the price of gold persists. The growth in earnings is expected to continue into 2003 as royalty revenues are received from the Company's royalty on the Diavik diamond properties. In addition, two additional gold-related royalties are expected to start in 2003 with the commencement of production from the Magistral property in Mexico and the Don Mario property in Bolivia.

        The Company's cash position is also expected to improve substantially in 2002 with expected cash receipts from the exercise of warrants and from the declaration of dividends and repayment of capital from both GFGL and Abosso.

        Some of the disclosures included in the 2001 annual report represent forward-looking statements (as defined in the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are based on assumptions and estimates related to future economic and market conditions. While management reviews the reasonableness of such assumptions and estimates, unusual or unanticipated events may occur which render them inaccurate. Under such circumstances, future performances may differ materially from projections.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

        We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Repadre Capital Corporation as at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, we conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing standards. With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, we conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

        In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

        Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States would have affected results of operations for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001 and shareholders' equity as at December 31, 2001 and 2000 to the extent summarized in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

REPADRE CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
All tabular amounts except per share amounts in thousands unless otherwise stated

1.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (a)
    Basis of consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial results of all controlled subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

    (b)
    Revenue recognition

      Revenue is recognized when the Company has reasonable assurance with respect to measurement and collectability. The Company holds two types of royalties:

      (i)
      Revenue based royalties such as net smelter return (NSR) or gross proceeds royalties. Revenue royalties are based on the proceeds of production paid by a smelter, refinery or other customer to the miner and revenue is recognized in accordance with the relevant agreement.

      (ii)
      Profits based royalties such as net profits interests (NPI) or a Working Interest (WI). An NPI is a royalty based on the profit after allowing for costs related to production. The expenditure that the operator deducts from revenues are defined in the relevant royalty agreement. Payments generally begin after pay-back of capital costs. The royalty holder is not responsible for providing capital nor covering operating losses or environmental liabilities. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the relevant agreement. A WI is similar to an NPI except working interest holders have an ownership position. A working interest holder is liable for its share of capital, operating and environmental costs. The Company records its interest in Gold Fields Ghana Limited ("GFGL") as a profits based royalty interest.

    (c)
    Gold and silver bullion

      Gold and silver bullion are valued at the year-end spot prices.

    (d)
    Marketable securities

      Short-term investments in marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The market values of investments are determined based on the closing prices reported on recognized securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. Such individual market values do not necessarily represent the realizable value of the total holding of any security, which may be more or less than that indicated by market quotations. Long-term investments in marketable securities are recorded at cost. When there has been a loss in the value of an investment in marketable securities that is determined to be other than a temporary decline, the investment is written down to recognize the loss.

    (e)
    Net royalty interests

      The Company records its royalty interests at the lower of cost and net recoverable amount. Cost is defined as the consideration given to acquire the royalty interests plus associated external professional fees and travel expenses. Net recoverable amount is management's best estimate of undiscounted future cash flows. Amortization of producing royalty interests is calculated on a units-of-production basis.

      Write-downs of producing royalty interests to net recoverable amount and write-downs of non-income producing royalty interests are charged to income. The recovery of costs associated with non-producing properties is dependant upon the discovery and development of economic reserves. The Company periodically reviews its royalty interests to ascertain whether an impairment in value has occurred.

    (f)
    Loans receivable

      A loan is classified as impaired when, in management's opinion, there has been a deterioration in credit quality to the extent that there is no longer reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest. Loans where interest or principal is contractually past due are automatically recognized as impaired, unless management determines that the loan is fully secured. When a loan is classified as impaired, recognition of interest in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement ceases.

    (g)
    Capital assets

      Capital assets are stated at cost. Amortization is provided over their estimated useful lives using the following rates and methods:

Furniture and fixtures   20% diminishing balance
Office and other equipment   30% diminishing balance

D-24


    (h)
    Translation of foreign currencies

      Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income. Non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates when acquired or when obligations were incurred.

    (i)
    Stock options

      The Company does not recognize any compensation expense when stock options are issued. Cash received from the exercise of options is credited to share capital.

    (j)
    Income taxes

      The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to the financial statement carrying value and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

    (k)
    Earnings per share

      In 2000, CICA No. 3500 "Earnings Per Share" was adopted. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method.

Outstanding warrants   2,213   2,213   2,213
    (l)
    Use of estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In particular, management is required to make judgements regarding the recoverability of the carrying value of marketable securities, net royalty interests and loans. These judgements involve assessing the financial condition and future prospects of investees, as well as consideration of commodity prices and operating conditions.

2.    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

    At December 31, 2001, marketable securities are comprised of:

 
  Number of Shares or Warrants Held
  Book Value
  Market
Addwest Minerals International, Ltd.   3,140   $   $
Black Hawk Mining Inc.   23,598     3,412     2,360
Black Hawk share purchase warrants   835        
Campbell Resources Inc.   800     640     264
Cross Lake Minerals Ltd.   1,000     100     50
Fairmile GoldTech Inc.   138         8
Orezone Resources Inc.   200     16     22
Orvana Minerals Corp. share purchase warrants   750        
Queenstake Resources Ltd.   420     36     46
       
 
          4,204     2,750
       
 
As at December 31, 2000         3,983     2,848
       
 

    The majority of the Company's marketable securities relate to companies in the gold industry. The gold industry has undergone a significant reduction in market value since mid-1997 due to a decline in the price of gold. Management believed that certain marketable securities had undergone an impairment in their value which was other than temporary and accordingly, these securities were written down to the lower of their market value and their estimated realizable value. The write-downs aggregated $1,179,000 in 2000 and $3,010,000 in 1999.

3.    INTEREST IN GFGL

    In April, 1999, the Company and Golden Knight Resources Inc. ("Golden Knight") completed a business combination. Golden Knight's major asset was a 17.5% interest in GFGL, a gold mining operation located in Ghana in west Africa. The business combination was accounted for as an acquisition, and the purchase cost was allocated as follows:

 
   
Purchase Cost      
  Cash   $ 1,754
  Other Current Assets     130
  Marketable Securities     404
  Interest in GFGL     41,462
   
      43,750
   
  Current Liabilities     1,697
  Long-term Debt     223
   
Total Purchase Cost   $ 41,830
   
Consideration      
  Common Shares   $ 9,360
  Warrants     772
  Cash     31,698
   
    $ 41,830
   

    On May 1, 1999, the Company purchased from Cabo Frio Investments A.V.V. an additional 1.4% interest in GFGL for $1,749,000.

    Investments in royalty interests include royalties on mineral properties for which economically mineable reserves have yet to be proven. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the properties' owners obtaining adequate financing and the development of economic mining operations. For royalty interests with a gold component, a price of US$300 per ounce has been used in determining whether carrying values have been impaired.

    Revenue producing royalties

    (a)
    The Company holds a 3% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the El Limon mining operation in Nicaragua owned by Black Hawk Mining Inc. ("Black Hawk"). At the option of Black Hawk, the royalty payments were paid in common shares of Black Hawk rather than as cash or gold when the price of gold was less than US$350 per ounce during the period prior to June 30, 2000.

    (b)
    The Company holds a 2% NSR royalty on all mineral production from the Golden Bear mine in British Columbia owned by North American Metals Corp., a subsidiary of Wheaton River Minerals Ltd.

    (c)
    The Company holds a graduated net smelter return royalty on the Joe Mann mine, an underground gold mine in northwestern Quebec owned by Campbell Resources Inc. ("Campbell"). The royalty rate was 1.8% at gold prices up to Cdn$500 per ounce. In April 2001 and subject to certain conditions being met, the Company agreed to amend the royalty in return for 800,000 shares of Campbell. The transaction was completed in September 2001 and the shares recorded at a value of $640,000. The amended royalty rate is 1.5% starting at a gold price of US$325 per ounce and rising .01% for each $1.00 increase in the price of gold to a maximum of 2.0% at a gold price of US$375 per ounce or higher. In addition, after royalty payments of Cdn$500,000, the royalty rate reduces to a flat 1% on gold prices at or greater than US$350 per ounce. At a gold price of US$300 per ounce, no royalty is payable and as a consequence the value of the royalty interest was written off at the end of the third quarter of 2001.

    (d)
    The Company holds the right to receive an income stream equivalent to 2.5% of the gross revenue produced by the sale of all minerals from Rex Diamond Mining Corporation's properties in South Africa.

    (e)
    The Company holds 720 units of The Williams Royalty Trust, equivalent to a 0.72% NSR royalty interest in the Williams mine in northern Ontario owned by Teck Cominco Limited and Barrick Gold Corporation (note 7(b), 8(f)).

D-27


    Non-revenue producing royalties

    (f)
    The Company holds a 3% NSR royalty on the Buffalo Valley project in Nevada owned by Fairmile GoldTech Inc. The property has been inactive since 1999 and the owner of the property has insufficient funds and prospects for funds to advance the property to the stage of having proven and probable reserves. As a consequence, the royalty interest was written off at the end of the third quarter, 2001.

    (g)
    The Company holds an option agreement to purchase a 1.25% NSR royalty on all gold produced from the Dolores property in Mexico owned by Minefinders Corporation Ltd. The option expires on March 1, 2002 and can be exercised upon payment to the vendors of US$325,000 plus a variable amount dependant upon the quantity of gold determined to be recoverable from the deposit. (See note 15(b))

    (h)
    In 1996, the Company purchased a sliding-scale NSR royalty on the Don Mario gold-copper deposit in eastern Bolivia owned by Orvana Minerals Corporation. During 1999, for an additional consideration of US$1 million, the royalty rate was amended to a flat 3% on all mineral production from the property.

    (i)
    The Company holds a 0.3% NSR royalty on the Gabbs Valley property in Nevada owned by Combined Metals Reduction Company.

    (j)
    The Company holds a sliding scale NSR royalty on all minerals processed through the Itos tailings retreatment facility located near Oruro, Bolivia owned by Barex Empresa Minera S.A. ("Baremsa"). The value of the Company's interests in the project was written down by 50% to an estimated net recoverable amount at the end of 1999. The property is inactive and the remainder of the investment was written off at the end of 2000.

    (k)
    The Company owns a 1% royalty on certain claims in the Lac de Gras region of the Northwest Territories, including the Diavik lands controlled by Aber Diamond Corporation and Diavik Diamond Mines Inc.

    (l)
    The Company owns a sliding scale NSR royalty on mineral production from the Magistral gold property in Mexico owned by Queenstake Resources Ltd. The royalty rate is 1% on the first 30,000 ounces of gold production, 3.5% on the subsequent 350,000 ounces and 1% thereafter.

    (m)
    The Company holds an effective 1.2% NSR royalty on the Manantial Espejo project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina. Under the terms of a November 1998 agreement with a subsidiary of Black Hawk, the primary owner of the property at the time, a payment of $1,250,000 would be due from the subsidiary if a decision to proceed with commercial production was not made by December 31, 2001. The decision was not made and the Company has agreed with Black Hawk that the compensation will be made through a series of payments from January 2002 to September 2003.

    (n)
    The Company holds a 2% NSR royalty on all precious metals produced from the Vueltas del Rio property in Honduras owned by Geomaque Explorations Ltd. The royalty rate increases by 1% for each US$100 per ounce increase in the price of gold above US$400 per ounce to a maximum rate of 5%. Production at the Vueltas del Rio mine commenced during the second quarter of 2001. The royalty on this production has not yet been recorded as revenue at the present time as there is insufficient certainty of the receipt of the royalty.

    (o)
    During 1999, the Company wrote off a number of its royalty interests, including a 3% gross sales royalty on certain sapphire properties in Montana, a 1.75% NSR royalty on the Anchor Hill mine in South Dakota, a 4% NSR royalty on the Gold Road mine in Arizona, a 4% NSR royalty on the Lluvia de Oro mine in Mexico, a 4% NSR royalty on the Relief Canyon mine in Nevada and the remainder of a 2% NSR royalty on the Rawas mine in Indonesia.

D-28


    (a)
    In 1996, the Company provided a three year US$1.2 million secured loan to Combined Metals bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum. In August 1998, the Company provided an additional US$65,000 to Combined Metals under the same terms and conditions as the US$1.2 million loan. The loan is secured by a first mortgage on Combined Metals' Gabbs Valley property in Nevada and was repayable on September 30, 1999. While certain repayments have been made, the loan remains in default and foreclosure proceedings are in progress. The Company anticipates that it will recover the carrying value of the loan receivable through the foreclosure and subsequent disposition of the Gabbs Valley property.

    (b)
    In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company acquired a US$1 million secured convertible debenture from Addwest. The debenture matures on October 1, 2002 and bears interest at an effective rate of 8.5% per annum, and was payable in advance in common shares of Addwest for the period to September 30, 2000. The advance interest was recorded as deferred revenue and brought into income pro rata over a one-year period. The loan is considered impaired and recording of interest ceased for the period commencing October 1, 2000. The Company believes it will realize value on the debenture through the underlying assets that secure the debenture.

    (c)
    The Company provided an officer of the Company with a non-interest bearing secured loan due in May 2007 to purchase common shares of the Company. The loan is secured by 120,000 shares of the Company which had a market value of $534,000 at December 31, 2001. During 2001, a US$50,000 loan was advanced to Orvana.

    (d)
    During 1999, the Company wrote off a number of its loans receivable, including loans made to Minera Lizandro Proaño, Sociedad Minera Austria Duvaz, Brohm Mining Corporation, the remainder of a loan made to Laverton Gold NL, and 50% of a facility to Baremsa (See note 4(j)). At the end of 2000, a facility to Fairmile and the remainder of the facility to Baremsa was written off.

7.    DEBT

    (a)
    As part of the business combination with Golden Knight, the Company assumed two promissory notes of US$150,000 each which were repaid on May 1, 2000 and May 1, 2001.

    (b)
    As consideration for the purchase of 720 units of The Williams Royalty Trust (note 4(e), 8(f)), the vendor of the royalty acquired a $7.2 million convertible debenture and 500,000 common share purchase warrants. The convertible debenture bears interest at a rate of 2% per annum and matured on October 31, 2001. The debenture was convertible at any time prior to October 31, 2001 into common shares of the Company on the basis of one share for each $6.50 of outstanding principal amount. In October 1999, a $4 million loan to the vender of the royalty matured and was offset against the convertible debenture. On maturity of the convertible debenture, the Company remitted funds to two government authorities who had placed garnishees on the amount due on account of unpaid back taxes by the holder of the debenture. The holder of the debenture has not yet been in a position to offer a full release to the Company on repayment of the remaining amount.

    On April 21, 1999, the Company and Golden Knight Resources Inc., a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, completed a business combination whereby shareholders of Golden Knight were offered either i) 0.125 common shares of the Company plus $0.33 cash per common share of Golden Knight, or ii) 0.20 common shares of the Company plus $0.10 cash plus 0.20 of a common share purchase warrant per common share of Golden Knight, each full warrant entitling the holder to subscribe for one additional common share of the Company at a price of $4.00 per share. The warrants expire on April 22, 2002 (note 3).

    (b)
    During 2001, no options were exercised by directors and officers (2000 — nil, 1999 — nil).

    (c)
    In May 1996, the Company received shareholder approval to implement an employee share purchase plan to a maximum of 600,000 shares. The plan provides for eligible employees of the Company to contribute up to 10% of their annual basic salary to the share purchase plan. The Company matches each participant's contribution and issues shares equal to the aggregate amount contributed.

    (d)
    The Company has a Share Option Plan for directors, officers and employees for the purpose of acquiring common shares of the Company. The total number of options that can be issued pursuant to the Plan is 3,056,578 common shares. As of December 31,

D-30


      2001, 556,578 common shares were available for granting of options in addition to those outstanding at year end. In November, 2000, 300,000 common share options previously issued to one party were cancelled and reissued to other parties.

      Each option granted is for a maximum term of ten years and is exercisable as to 33.3% each year commencing one year after the date of the grant. The exercise price is determined by the Company's Board of Directors at the time the option is granted, subject to regulatory approval and may not be less than the most recent closing price of the common shares at the date of the grant.

      Total options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2001 were as follows:

    (e)
    On June 16, 1999, the shareholders of the Corporation adopted a shareholder rights protection plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the terms of the Rights Plan, one right is issued for each common share currently outstanding or subsequently issued. Each right has an initial exercise price of $50 and, when exercised, entitles the holder to purchase from the Company, at the exercise price, common shares with an aggregate market value equal to twice the exercise price. The rights are exercisable if any person acquires more than 20% of the Company's voting shares or engages in certain types of transactions with the Company other than with the approval of the Board of Directors or pursuant to a permitted bid procedure. The rights expire on the close of business the day of the Corporation's Annual General Meeting in 2004.

    (f)
    In connection with the acquisition of 720 units of The Williams Royalty Trust (note 4(e)), the Company issued a convertible debenture and common share purchase warrants (note 7(b)). Each common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for $8.00 and was exercisable to October 31, 1999. No share purchase warrants were exercised, and the value attributed to the warrants was transferred to Other Paid-in Capital.

    The benefit of the losses expiring in 2006 and 2008 has been recorded in the financial statements. The benefit of the remaining losses has not been recognized for accounting purposes.

10.  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The carrying values of cash and short-term investments, gold and silver bullion, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the convertible debenture payable approximates fair value. The carrying value of loans receivable is discussed in note 5.

11.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

    In November 2001, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued Handbook Section 1650, "Foreign Currency Translation". The standard eliminates the deferral and amortization of foreign currency translation gains and losses on long-lived monetary items. The Company has adopted Section 1650 retroactively with restatement of the 2000 and 1999 comparative figures. The following summarizes the impact of applying Section 1650 on net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. Under the adopted policy, income for 2001 is increased by $37,000.

    (a)
    Amortization of royalty interests

      Under Canadian accounting principles, depreciation and amortization may be calculated on the unit-of-production method based upon the estimated mine life, whereas under United States accounting principles, the calculations are made based upon proven and probable mineable reserves. This results in a higher amortization charge for revenue producing royalties and a gain on the amendment of the Joe Mann royalty in 2001.

    (b)
    Income from Interest in GFGL

      The Company recorded a loss on realized written call options that were accounted for as a hedge of uncommitted production for Canadian GAAP. For US GAAP purposes, the loss realized on these options was recorded as a current period item in 1999.

    (c)
    Effect of SFAS 133

      For 2001, application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities, has been adopted and has resulted in the recognition of gains in respect of the marked-to-market value of contracts for the forward sale of gold by GFGL that were in place at the beginning of 2001. For purposes of Canadian GAAP, the forwards were accounted for as a hedge of uncommitted production. These hedges were subsequently closed in February 2001. GFGL currently has no contracts in place for the forward sales of gold.

    (d)
    Marketable securities

      Under U.S. GAAP, marketable securities are classified as "available for sale" and are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding losses excluded from the determination of earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income.

    (e)
    Loans receivable

      Note receivables secured by the Company's common stock are required to be shown as a reduction of shareholders equity.

    (f)
    Stock options

      Beginning in 1996, United States accounting principles allow, but do not require companies to record compensation cost for stock option plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock options using the intrinsic value method as permitted under Canadian and United States accounting principles.

    (g)
    Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements

      In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"). SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003 and has not yet quantified the impact of adoption on its financial statements.

D-35


      In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company does not expect that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    (a)
    On October 22 2001, the Company announced that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding with Ranger Minerals Limited ("Ranger") that, subject to certain conditions precedent, provided for the purchase by the Company and Gold Fields Limited of Ranger's 90% beneficial interest in Abosso Goldfields Limited, an unlisted Ghanaian company holding 100% of the Damang gold mine in Ghana. Under the terms of the memorandum, the purchase consideration by the Company for an 18.9% interest in Abosso was 4,000,000 common shares of the Company. The transaction was completed on January 23, 2002.

    (b)
    On February 27 2002, the Company gave notice to the original vendors of the Dolores option that the Company was exercising its right to purchase a 1.25% royalty on the property for US$325,000 (see note 4(g)).

IAMGOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The pro forma consolidated financial statements of IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the acquisition of Repadre Capital Corporation ("Repadre") by IAMGold.

    On October 28, 2002, IAMGold and Repadre entered into an agreement whereby IAMGold will acquire 100% of the outstanding share capital of Repadre (the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the agreement, shareholders of Repadre will be entitled to receive 1.6 common shares of IAMGold for each share of Repadre.

    The business combination will be accounted for as a purchase of Repadre by IAMGold.

    In compiling the pro forma consolidated financial statements, the following historical information was used:

    (a)
    The consolidated unaudited interim balance sheet of IAMGold as at September 30, 2002;

    (b)
    The consolidated unaudited interim balance sheet of Repadre as at September 30, 2002;

    (c)
    The consolidated unaudited interim statement of earnings of IAMGold for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002;

    (d)
    The consolidated unaudited interim statement of operations of Repadre for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002;

    (e)
    The audited consolidated statement of earnings of IAMGold for the year ended December 31, 2001;

    (f)
    The audited consolidated statement of operations of Repadre for the year ended December 31, 2001;

    The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the foregoing financial statements, including the notes thereto.

    The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as though the Transaction occurred on September 30, 2002. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations have been prepared as though the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2001. The pro forma consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of either the results that actually should have occurred if the Transaction had taken place on the dates indicated, or the results which may be obtained in the future.

    The financial statements of IAMGold are prepared in United States dollars. The financial statements of Repadre are prepared in Canadian dollars. For purposes of these pro forma consolidated financial statements, the balance sheet of Repadre has been translated at the exchange rate as at September 30, 2002. Average exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2001 and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, were applied to translate the Repadre statements of operations.

    These pro forma statements are based on information currently available. The accounting for the acquisition of Repadre, when completed, may differ based on information available at that time.

2.    BUSINESS COMINATION OF IAMGOLD AND REPADRE

    The total purchase consideration for the acquisition (including direct acquisition costs) will be allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of the acquisition. The purchase consideration reflected in the accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements has been calculated using a common share price of $5.30 per IAMGold share, which was the closing price of IAMGold shares on Friday, October 25, 2002, the trading date immediately preceding the date the Transaction was announced.

E-5


    The purchase consideration and the allocation of the purchase consideration to the net assets of Repadre based on Repadre's September 30, 2002 financial statements are as follows:

 
  (000's)
 
Purchase consideration:        
  Issue of 62,890,992 common shares of IAMGold   $ 212,063  
  Issue of 2,800,000 common share options of IAMGold     4,763  
  Acquisition related expenses paid by IAMGold     1,400  
   
 
      218,226  
Book value of assets acquired as at September 30, 2002     (100,006 )
Acquisition related expenses paid by Repadre     1,100  
   
 
Excess of book value over estimated total purchase consideration     119,320  
   
 
Allocation of excess:        
  Marketable Securities     (398 )
  Working Interests     7,871  
  Royalty Interests     52,793  
  Future Tax     (19,604 )
  Goodwill     78.658  
   
 
    $ 119,320  
   
 

3.    CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

    The pro forma consolidated statements of operations reflect an increase in amortization charges for producing royalty interests and a corresponding reduction of future tax liability as a result of the upward revaluation of royalty interests from book value to fair value.

    The pro forma earnings per share reflect the issuance of 62,890,992 common shares of IAMGold on January 1, 2001.

        Repadre hereby represents and warrants to IAMGold and IAMGold Subco, and hereby acknowledges that each of IAMGold and IAMGold Subco is relying upon such representations and warranties in connection with entering into this Agreement and agreeing to complete the Arrangement, as follows:

    (a)
    Organization.    Repadre and each of the Repadre Group Companies has been incorporated, is validly subsisting and has full corporate or legal power and authority to own its property and assets and conduct its business as currently owned and conducted. Repadre and each of the Repadre Group Companies is registered, licensed or otherwise qualified as an extra-provincial corporation or a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business or the location or character of the property and assets owned or leased by it requires it to be so registered, licensed or otherwise qualified, other than those jurisdictions where the failure to be so registered, licensed or otherwise qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Repadre. All of the outstanding shares of the Repadre Group Companies are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. All of the outstanding shares of the Repadre Subsidiaries, and shares representing an 18.9 per cent interest in each of the Repadre Significant Interest Companies, are owned directly or indirectly by Repadre. Except pursuant to restrictions on transfer contained in the articles or by-laws (or their equivalent) of the applicable Repadre Group Company, the shares of each Repadre Group Company which are owned by Repadre (or by another Repadre Group Company) are owned free and clear of all Encumbrances and neither

F-11


      Repadre nor any of the Repadre Group Companies is liable to any Repadre Group Company or to its creditors in respect thereof. Other than as disclosed by Repadre in writing to IAMGold prior to the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, rights, entitlements, understandings or commitments (contingent or otherwise) regarding the right to acquire any securities of any of the Repadre Group Companies from either Repadre or any of the Repadre Subsidiaries.

    (b)
    Capitalization.    Repadre is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, and an unlimited number of Repadre Common Shares. As at November 28, 2002, there were nil preferred shares and 39,306,667 Repadre Common Shares outstanding and an aggregate of 1,750,000 Repadre Common Shares were set aside for issue under Repadre Options. Except (i) as described in the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) for the rights issued pursuant to the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement, and (iii) the right, as publicly disclosed by Repadre prior to the date hereof, of the Government of the Republic of Ghana to acquire a further 20 per cent interest in Abosso Goldfields Limited in certain circumstances, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments (pre-emptive, contingent or otherwise) obligating Repadre or any of the Repadre Group Companies to issue or sell any shares of Repadre or any of the Repadre Group Companies or any securities or obligations of any kind convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of Repadre or any of the Repadre Group Companies, nor are there outstanding any share appreciation rights, phantom equity or similar rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments based upon the book value, income or any other attribute of Repadre or any of the Repadre Group Companies. All outstanding Repadre Common Shares have been authorized and are validly issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares, free of pre-emptive rights. There are no outstanding bonds, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness of Repadre or any of the Repadre Group Companies having the right to vote with the Repadre Shareholders on any matter. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of Repadre or of any of the Repadre Group Companies to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding Repadre Common Shares or with respect to the voting or disposition of any outstanding Repadre Common Shares.

    (c)
    Authority.    Repadre has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Repadre and the completion by Repadre of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been authorized by the directors of Repadre and, subject to approval by the Repadre Shareholders in the manner contemplated herein, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Repadre are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to complete the transactions contemplated hereby other than in connection with the approval by the directors of Repadre of the Proxy Circular. This Agreement has been executed and delivered by Repadre and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Repadre, enforceable against Repadre in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other applicable Laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and to general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the provisions hereof and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not:

    (i)
    result in a violation or breach of, require any consent to be obtained under or give rise to any termination rights under any provision of,

    (iii)

NON-SOLICITATION AND BREAK-UP FEE

Section 6.01 Mutual Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation

    (a)
    Until the later of the Completion Deadline and the date on which any amount required to be paid by IAMGold or Repadre, as the case may be, (in this section the "Paying Party") in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement has actually been received by the other of them (in this section the "Non-Paying Party"), the Paying Party shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of the Paying Party or any of the Subsidiaries of the Paying Party, or otherwise:
    (i)
    solicit or initiate (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) any inquiries or proposals regarding any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party;
    (ii)
    participate, directly or indirectly, in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party;
    (iii)
    withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to the Non-Paying Party the approval of the directors of the Paying Party of the transactions contemplated hereby;
    (iv)
    agree to, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party; or
    (v)
    enter into any agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party or potential Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party;

      provided, however, that, notwithstanding the preceding part of this subsection 6.01(a) and any other provision of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent or restrict the directors of the Paying Party from considering or negotiating any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party that may or may not be a Superior Proposal or from considering, negotiating, approving, recommending to the shareholders thereof or entering into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal from any person.

    (b)
    Within 48 hours of the receipt by any director or officer of a Paying Party of any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party, or any amendment to the foregoing, or any request for non-public information relating to the Paying Party or any of the Subsidiaries of the Paying Party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party or for access to the properties, books or records of the Paying Party or any of the Subsidiaries of the Paying Party by any person that informs the Paying Party or any of the Subsidiaries of the Paying Party that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party, the Paying Party shall notify the Non-Paying Party thereof, at first orally and then, as soon as possible thereafter, in writing. Such written notice shall include a copy of the Acquisition Proposal documents (with such deletions as are necessary to protect any confidential portions of such documents, provided that material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, such Acquisition Proposal may not be deleted) if the same has been received as described above, or, if not so received, a description of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and, in any event, provide such details of the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or contact as the Non-Paying Party may reasonably request, including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or contact.
    (c)
    If the Paying Party receives a request for material non-public information from a person who proposes a bona fide Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party (the existence and content of which have been disclosed to the Non-Paying Party), and the directors of the Paying Party determine that such proposal would be a Superior Proposal pursuant to subsection 6.01(a) hereof having received the advice referred to therein, then, and only in such case, the directors of the Paying Party may, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in form satisfactory to the Non-Paying Party, acting

F-41


      reasonably, provide such person with access to information regarding the Paying Party; provided, however, that the person making the Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party shall not be precluded thereunder from making the Acquisition Proposal, and provided further that the Paying Party sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to the Non-Paying Party immediately upon the execution thereof and the Non-Paying Party is provided with a list of or a copy of the information, if any, provided to such person that was not previously provided to the Non-Paying Party and the Non-Paying Party is immediately provided with access to similar information.

    (d)
    The Paying Party shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees thereof and any financial advisors or other advisors or representatives retained by the Paying Party are aware of the provisions of this section 6.01, and the Paying Party shall be responsible for any breach of this section 6.01 by its financial advisors or other advisors or representatives.

Section 6.02 Notice by the Paying Party of Superior Proposal Determination

    (a)
    Until the later of the Completion Deadline and the date on which any amount required to be paid by the Paying Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement has actually been received by the Non-Paying Party, the Paying Party and the directors thereof shall not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by subsection 6.01(c) hereof) on the basis that it would constitute a Superior Proposal, unless (i) it has provided the Non-Paying Party with a copy of the documents containing such Acquisition Proposal (with such deletions as are necessary to protect any confidential portions of such document, provided that material terms or conditions of, and the identity of the person making, such Acquisition Proposal may not be deleted) which the directors of the Paying Party have determined would be a Superior Proposal pursuant to subsection 6.01(a) hereof, and (ii) five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of the date the Non-Paying Party received notice of the determination of the directors of the Paying Party to accept, approve, recommend, or enter into an agreement in respect of, such Acquisition Proposal and the date the Non-Paying Party received a copy of the Acquisition Proposal.
    (b)
    During the five Business Days referred to in subsection 6.02(a) hereof, the Paying Party acknowledges and agrees that the Non-Paying Party shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement. The directors of the Paying Party shall review any offer by the Non-Paying Party to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine in good faith, as of the later of the dates referred to in paragraph 6.02(a)(ii) hereof, whether the offer of the Non-Paying Party upon acceptance by the Paying Party would at least match the value per common share of the Paying Party of the Superior Proposal. If the directors of the Paying Party so determine, the Paying Party shall enter into an amended agreement with the Non-Paying Party reflecting the amended proposal of the Non-Paying Party. If the directors of the Paying Party do not so determine and instead determine, in good faith and after consultation with, and receiving advice (which may include written opinions, a copy of which shall have been provided to the Non-Paying Party) from, as appropriate, financial, legal and other advisors to the Paying Party, that the Acquisition Proposal is nonetheless a Superior Proposal and therefore reject the amended proposal of the Non-Paying Party, the Paying Party shall be liable to pay to the Non-Paying Party the fee contemplated by section 6.03 hereof. The Paying Party also acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal in respect of the Paying Party shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under paragraph 6.02(a)(ii) hereof and shall initiate an additional five Business Day period.

Section 6.03 Break Fee Event

    (a)
    In the event that:
    (i)
    this Agreement is terminated by IAMGold and IAMGold Subco pursuant to subsection 7.03(c) hereof;
    (ii)
    this Agreement is terminated by Repadre pursuant to subsection 7.03(f) hereof;

F-42


      (iii)
      this Agreement is terminated by IAMGold and IAMGold Subco pursuant to subsection 7.03(b) hereof through the fault (whether by commission or omission) of Repadre failing to submit the Arrangement for approval to the Repadre Shareholders on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Completion Deadline or failing to solicit proxies in accordance with clause 4.01(b)(iii) hereof; or
      (iv)
      an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to Repadre and made known to Repadre Shareholders generally or shall have been made directly to Repadre Shareholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal in respect of Repadre and such Acquisition Proposal or announced intention shall not have been publicly withdrawn prior to the Repadre Meeting and, thereafter, there is a failure to obtain the approval of the Arrangement by Repadre Shareholders at the Repadre Meeting, and this Agreement is terminated by either IAMGold and IAMGold Subco or Repadre pursuant to subsection 7.03(e) hereof;

then Repadre shall pay to IAMGold within five Business Days following the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and Repadre giving IAMGold such notice $5,000,000 in immediately available funds to an account designated by IAMGold. Repadre shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this subsection 6.03(a). Repadre hereby acknowledges that the payment amount set out in this section is a payment of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which IAMGold will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant non-completion of the Arrangement and are not penalties. Repadre hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.

    (b)
    In the event that:
    (i)
    this Agreement is terminated by Repadre pursuant to subsection 7.03(d) hereof; or
    (ii)
    this Agreement is terminated by IAMGold and IAMGold Subco pursuant to subsection 7.03(g) hereof;

then IAMGold shall pay to Repadre within five Business Days following the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and IAMGold giving Repadre such notice $5,000,000 in immediately available funds to an account designated by Repadre. IAMGold shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this subsection 6.03(b). IAMGold hereby acknowledges that the payment amount set out in this section is a payment of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Repadre will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant non-completion of the Arrangement and are not penalties. IAMGold hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.

The parties hereto will ensure that such planning activities do not impede the progress of the Arrangement in any material way.
    (b)
    The parties hereto mutually agree that if a party hereto proposes any other amendment or amendments to this Agreement or to the Plan of Arrangement, Repadre on the one hand, and IAMGold and IAMGold Subco on the other hand, will act reasonably in considering such amendment and if the other of them and the shareholders thereof are not prejudiced by reason of any such amendment they will co-operate in a reasonable fashion with the party hereto proposing the amendment so that such amendment can be effected subject to applicable Laws and the rights of the Repadre Shareholders.

Section 7.03 Termination

        This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Date:

    (a)

    by IAMGold and IAMGold Subco upon any determination by IAMGold, after the conclusion of the process set out in sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, that an Acquisition Proposal in respect of IAMGold constitutes a Superior Proposal;

provided that any termination by a party hereto in accordance with paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) above shall be made by such party delivering written notice thereof to the other party or parties hereto prior to the Effective Date and specifying therein in reasonable detail the matter or matters giving rise to such termination right. In the event of any such termination, subject to the obligations of Repadre and IAMGold contained in article six hereof, including the payment required by section 6.03 hereof, each party hereto shall be deemed to have released, remised and forever discharged the other parties hereto in respect of any and all claims arising in respect of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein and provided that, subject to section 6.03 hereof, neither the termination of this Agreement nor anything contained in this section 7.03 shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any wilful breach by it of this Agreement (other than a breach of a representation or warranty except in such case to the extent section 8.02 hereof applies).

    (b)
    After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by subsection 6.01(a) hereof, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Repadre Common Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the IAMGold Common Shares which the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with section 3.02 hereof.

Section 6.02 Lost Certificates

        In the event that any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Repadre Common Shares which were exchanged for IAMGold Common Shares in accordance with section 3.01 hereof shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing the IAMGold Common Shares which such holder

Section 6.03 Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates

        No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to IAMGold Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Repadre Common Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of section 6.01 or section 6.02 hereof. Subject to applicable law and to section 6.05 hereof, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of a certificate representing the IAMGold Common Shares to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect such IAMGold Common Shares.

Section 6.04 Withholding Rights

        IAMGold, IAMGold Subco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all dividends or other distributions otherwise payable to any Former Repadre Shareholder such amounts as IAMGold, IAMGold Subco or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada), the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Former Repadre Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

To the Board of Directors of Repadre Capital Corporation:

        We understand that Repadre Capital Corporation (the "Company") is contemplating entering into a strategic business combination (the "Combination") with Iamgold Corporation ("Iamgold). We understand that the Combination is to be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") as described in an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement"), which is to be dated on or about the date hereof, between the Company and Iamgold as described below.

        Pursuant to the Arrangement, each holder of common shares of the Company will receive common shares of Iamgold on the basis of 1.60 common shares of Iamgold (the "Exchange Ratio") for each common share of the Company, and the Company would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Iamgold. We understand that the material terms of the Combination will be described in the circular that will be mailed to shareholders of the Company in connection with the special meeting to be called to consider the Arrangement.

        The Company has retained BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.

Our Opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which shares of the Company or Iamgold (before or after completion of the Combination) may trade at any future date.

Relationship with Interested Parties

In addition, as an investment dealer, BMO Nesbitt Burns conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide or be expected to provide investment advice to its clients on issuers and investment matters, including the Company and Iamgold and their securities.

        The Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise of the Company and Iamgold as was reflected in the Information. In our analyses and in connection with the preparation of the Opinion, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Combination.

Conclusion

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that the Exchange Ratio is fair to the shareholders of the Company from a financial point of view.

Yours truly,

H-3

    the corporation is or, after the payment, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or
