Attributable production from these mines for 2003 is expected to be 430,000 ounces of gold at an average cash cost of US$215 per ounce.

As of March 31, 2003 IAMGOLD's gold bullion and cash position stood at US$93.0 million, including US$75.4 million in corporate discretionary cash. The Company is focused on pursuing value-added corporate initiatives via merger and acquisition targets and exploration.
