History

IAMGOLD acquired Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. in 2012. Trelawney had carried out exploration activities at the Project site since 2009 prior to the acquisition.

Exploration activities have been ongoing in the area since the early 1900s by various companies and government agencies. More concentrated mineral exploration efforts were conducted in the early 1940s and from the early 1970s to about 1990.

Since its discovery in 2010, extensive diamond drilling activities have been undertaken to delineate the Côté Gold deposit.

 

Footnote 1: Côté Gold is owned as a 60/40 JV between IMG and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. and carries a 7.5% NPI royalty. IMG holds the option to return to 70% ownership which it intends to execute before it expires in 2026. Refer to news release on December 19, 2022
