Grassroots Exploration

Exploration has always been a cornerstone of IAMGOLD’s growth. Our more than 60 exploration professionals, based in nine countries in Africa and the Americas, adhere to the principle that “exploration is a business, not a science”. Our main areas of interest are West Africa, select countries of the Guiana Shield, and the Andes and Brazil in South America. We carry out both greenfields and near-minesite (“brownfields”) exploration, and are giving much attention to acquisition opportunities, which have increased as a result of the current market conditions.
