IAMGOLD Supports the Future Generation of Mining Engineers at Laurentian University

At IAMGOLD, we focus on what we contribute, not just what we extract. Late last month, Renaud Adams, President and CEO of IAMGOLD and Bryan Wilson, Vice President and General Manager of Côté Gold, and other IAMGOLD executives had the opportunity to visit Laurentian University and see first-hand the fruits of our $2 million investment.

The investment, which was made in 2018 and covered a period of five years, aims to support the Bharti School of Engineering at Laurentian University and enrich learning experiences for engineering students. It builds upon the previous $1.25 million partnership IAMGOLD with Laurentian that established an IAMGOLD Research Chair in Open-Pit Mining.

Projects funded through the 2018-2023 donation include:

• The completion of Phase 2 of the Engineering Student Junction, a collaboration space for engineering students located in the Cliff Fielding Research, Innovation and Engineering Building of the university. The Junction was named after IAMGOLD.
• The refurbishment of the mine design lab.
• The purchase of equipment and furnishings for engineering teaching labs.
• The renewal of computers used by engineering students.
• Funds for IAMGOLD research fellows and other research projects led by Engineering faculty.
• Various student activities and field trips, including a field trip to Côté Gold for Mining Engineering students scheduled for March 2024.
• Funds for various student awards and scholarships.

In parallel, IAMGOLD’s Talent Acquisition team maintains a close relationship with Laurentian University’s Career Centre, posting job opportunities, attending career fairs and connecting directly with students.

What our CEO said:

“I was extremely pleased to see the fruits of the $2 million investment we made in support of higher education and research at the Laurentian University,” said Renaud Adams, President and CEO of IAMGOLD. “IAMGOLD has at heart to contribute tangible benefits to the host communities we work with. We do so by fostering economic growth, improving access to health and education, and investing in sports and cultural projects. We hope to have a lasting positive impact wherever we operate.”
