IAMGOLD is a leading, mid-tier gold mining company, producing approximately one million ounces of gold annually from eight mines in West Africa, South America and Canada. The Company's niobium mine in Canada produces 4.4 million kilograms of niobium annually.

The Company is focused on expanding the production potential of its core portfolio of world-class, long-life, low-cost assets – Rosebel, Essakane, Westwood and Niobec – and advancing a number of attractive exploration and development projects.

In 2011, IAMGOLD is targeting a 14% to 24% increase in attributable gold production to 1.1 million to 1.2 million ounces at an average cash cost of between $565 and $595 per ounce. In 2011, the Niobec mine in the province of Quebec is expected to produce between 4.5 million and 5.0 million kilograms of niobium, with an operating margin of between $15 and $17 per kilogram.
