December 6, 2004

Dear IAMGold Shareholders,

        On November 30, 2004, IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold") and Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") announced that they had modified the terms on which IAMGold will acquire the assets of Gold Fields' subsidiaries located outside of the Southern African Development Community (the "Transaction"). A description of the Transaction is set out in the management information circular dated November 4, 2004 of IAMGold. Under the modified terms, the cash contribution from Gold Fields' subsidiaries to IAMGold in connection with the Transaction will be reduced by US$200 million.

        Although the Transaction was well received by shareholders of both companies at the time of the original announcement, certain shareholders of Gold Fields have since indicated that, in light of subsequent announcements by the Government of South Africa regarding the relaxation of its exchange controls, the launch by Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited of a hostile offer for Gold Fields and OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel's stated intention to vote against the Transaction at the Gold Fields shareholders' meeting to be held in connection with the Transaction, changes to the original economic terms of the Transaction would be appropriate and would increase the likelihood of the Transaction being approved at the Gold Fields shareholders' meeting. Canvassing of shareholders by IAMGold and Gold Fields confirmed continuing strong support for the underlying rationale for the Transaction. On this basis, IAMGold and Gold Fields agreed that the modification to the terms of the Transaction was appropriate.

        The directors of IAMGold believe that the Transaction, under the modified terms, remains of significant benefit to IAMGold shareholders. The directors of IAMGold have received a written fairness opinion dated November 29, 2004 from RBC Dominion Securities Inc., a member company of RBC Capital Markets, which concludes that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of the date thereof, the consideration to be received by IAMGold under the Transaction, as modified, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold.

        A meeting of the shareholders of IAMGold (the "IAMGold Meeting") to consider matters relating to the Transaction was originally scheduled to be held on December 7, 2004. The IAMGold Meeting will now be adjourned to, and reconvened on, Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) and will be held in Tudor Room 7, The Fairmont Royal York, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, Ontario. A description of the modification to the terms of the Transaction is set out in a supplemental information document which is being mailed to IAMGold shareholders together with a copy of this letter and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

        The directors of IAMGold continue to unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions relating to the Transaction at the IAMGold Meeting.

        Any IAMGold shareholder who has previously deposited a valid proxy or provided voting instructions to his or her broker or other intermediary for use at the IAMGold Meeting and who does not wish to change his or her proxy or voting instructions need not take any further action, as proxies and voting instructions previously submitted for use at the IAMGold Meeting will continue to be valid. The form of proxy or voting instruction form originally mailed to IAMGold shareholders for use at the IAMGold Meeting may continue to be used by IAMGold shareholders who have not yet deposited a valid proxy or provided voting instructions. Any IAMGold shareholder who wishes to change a proxy or voting instructions previously provided for use at the IAMGold Meeting should deposit a new valid proxy (in the case of registered shareholders) or contact his or her broker or



other intermediary (in the case of non-registered shareholders) for instructions. In addition, any questions and requests for assistance relating to the IAMGold Meeting may be directed to Georgeson Shareholder Communications Canada Inc. toll-free at 1-888-288-8573.

Sincerely,

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO
THE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

        This is supplemental information relating to the management information circular dated November 4, 2004 (the "Circular") of IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold") furnished in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of management and the directors of IAMGold to be used at the special meeting of shareholders of IAMGold, originally scheduled to be held on December 7, 2004, and which is to be adjourned to, and reconvened on, Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized words and terms used in this supplemental information that are not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such words and terms in the Circular. IAMGold Shareholders are encouraged to read the Circular and this supplemental information carefully and in their entirety.


NOTICE TO UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

        This solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"). Accordingly, such solicitation is made in the United States with respect to securities of a Canadian foreign private issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws and the Circular and this supplemental information has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders of IAMGold in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

        The historical financial information for IAMGold and the Acquired Companies and the pro forma financial information of Gold Fields International included or incorporated by reference in the Circular and this supplemental information are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with and/or reconciled to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles in certain material respects.

        Enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that IAMGold is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, that its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, that some of the experts named in the Circular and this supplemental information are residents of Canada and that a substantial portion of the assets of IAMGold and such persons are located outside of the United States.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields International included in this supplemental information have been presented in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 4.5 of National Instrument 44-101 and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields International do not purport to be in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and have not been prepared in accordance with or reconciled to United States generally accepted accounting principles.


CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        The Circular and this supplemental information include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act and the U.S. Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this supplemental information that address activities, events or developments that IAMGold expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of IAMGold's business, operations, plans and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. When used in the Circular and this supplemental information, the words "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

        The statements made in the Circular and this supplemental information about the anticipated impact the Transaction may have on the operations of IAMGold, as well as the benefits expected to result from the Transaction, are forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements include but are not limited to those with respect to the price of gold, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, reserve and resource estimates and reserve conversion rates. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements



of IAMGold (and, upon the completion of the Transaction, Gold Fields International) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to the integration of acquisitions, risks related to international operations, risks related to joint venture operations, actual results of current exploration activities, actual results of current reclamation activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, future prices of gold, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Circular. Risks that may affect results of operations, earnings and expected benefits of Gold Fields International upon completion of the Transaction are also discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Circular. Although IAMGold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.


CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF
MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES

        The Circular and this supplemental information use the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required under Canadian securities legislation, the SEC does not recognize them. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.


PRESENTATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for Gold Fields International set out in this supplemental information has been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Amendment to Purchase Agreement

        On November 30, 2004, the parties to the Purchase Agreement executed an amending agreement (the "First Amending Agreement") modifying certain terms of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the First Amending Agreement is set out in schedule B to this supplemental information. The First Amending Agreement, among other things, provides that:

    (a)
    at any time on or before the Completion Date, Gold Fields is entitled to cause to be distributed (by way of dividend or otherwise) or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in cash, from one or more Acquired Companies to one or more subsidiaries of Gold Fields which are not Acquired Companies, up to US$200 million or its equivalent in other currency (the "Cash Transfer");

    (b)
    any and all dividends or other distributions made in furtherance of the Cash Transfer will not be taken into account in determining the Net Cash Subscription Amount;

    (c)
    the amendments referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above will cease to have any effect if the Gold Fields Meeting and the vote of Gold Fields Shareholders on the Transaction do not occur on December 7, 2004; and

    (d)
    US$20 million is to be paid by Gold Fields into and held in escrow in accordance with the provisions of an escrow agreement (a copy of which is set out as schedule A to the First Amending Agreement) dated November 30, 2004 (the "Escrow Agreement") between IAMGold, Gold Fields and McCarthy Tétrault LLP (as escrow agent), which Escrow Agreement provides that

    (i)
    in the event that the termination fee (the "Termination Fee") in the amount of US$20 million becomes payable by Gold Fields to IAMGold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, such amount will be released from escrow and paid to or to the order of IAMGold in satisfaction of the obligation of Gold Fields to pay the Termination Fee to IAMGold, and

    (ii)
    on the Completion Date, or in the event that completion of the Transaction does not occur and it is determined that the Termination Fee is not payable by Gold Fields to IAMGold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the amount in escrow will be released from escrow and paid to or to the order of Gold Fields,

      (see "The Purchase Agreement — Termination and Termination Fee" in the Circular);

(collectively the "Amendment").

        As a result of the Amendment, the amount of cash to be contributed by Gold Fields' subsidiaries to Gold Fields International in connection with the Transaction will be reduced by US$200 million. Reference is made to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields International set out in schedule C to this supplemental information.

Background

        The following is a summary of the relevant events, meetings, negotiations and discussions that preceded the execution of the First Amending Agreement.

        In mid November 2004, IAMGold and Gold Fields initiated discussions and negotiations in connection with amending the economic terms of the Transaction. Although the Transaction was well received by both IAMGold Shareholders and Gold Fields Shareholders at the time of the original announcement, certain Gold Fields Shareholders have since indicated that, in light of subsequent announcements by the Government of South Africa regarding the relaxation of its exchange controls, the launch by Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ("Harmony") of a hostile offer for Gold Fields and OJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel's ("Norilsk") stated intention to vote against the Transaction at the Gold Fields Meeting, changes to the original economic terms of the Transaction would be appropriate and would increase the likelihood of the Transaction being approved at the Gold Fields Meeting. Canvassing of shareholders by both IAMGold and Gold Fields confirmed continuing strong support for the underlying rationale for the Transaction. On this basis, IAMGold and Gold Fields agreed that the modification to the terms of the Transaction was appropriate.

        On November 22, 2004, IAMGold's management met with the Special Committee to deliver management's report regarding proposed amendments to the terms of the Transaction. On the same day, the Special Committee met with financial advisors to receive an update on the progress of the negotiations with Gold Fields regarding the proposed amendments to the terms of the Transaction and to discuss the status of the review of RBC of the Transaction in light of the proposed amendments to the terms of the Transaction.

        On November 29, 2004, IAMGold's management provided the Special Committee with a further report regarding the Transaction and the proposed Amendment. As well, RBC presented its report and advised that, as of the date thereof, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications made in its report, the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold. RBC subsequently delivered a written fairness opinion dated November 29, 2004 (the "RBC Fairness Opinion") to the Special Committee and the IAMGold Board of Directors which concludes that, as of the date thereof, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained therein, the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold.

        At a meeting held on November 29, 2004, the Special Committee presented its report and unanimous recommendation to the IAMGold Board of Directors that the IAMGold Board of Directors approve the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, that IAMGold enter into the First Amending Agreement and that the IAMGold Board of Directors recommend that IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Anti-Dilution Resolution, the Amendment Resolution, the Share Incentive Plan Resolution, the By-Law Resolution and the Auditor Confirmation at the IAMGold Meeting. At this meeting, the IAMGold Board of Directors unanimously adopted the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, authorized IAMGold to enter into the First Amending Agreement and unanimously recommended that IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Anti-Dilution Resolution, the Amendment Resolution, the Share Incentive Plan Resolution, the By-Law Resolution and the Auditor Confirmation at the IAMGold Meeting (with Mr. Conway abstaining from voting but concurring with each decision).

The Transaction

Benefits of the Transaction

        The IAMGold Board of Directors believes, based upon, among other things, the recommendation of the Special Committee, which recommendation was unanimously adopted by the IAMGold Board of Directors, that the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, should have the following benefits for IAMGold Shareholders:

    (a)
    the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is expected to create one of the world's top gold producers (fourth largest in North America and seventh largest in the world);

    (b)
    IAMGold Shareholders of record as of a date shortly before the Completion Date will receive the Special Dividend from IAMGold of Cdn$0.50 per IAMGold Share;

    (c)
    Gold Fields International will have interests in six producing gold operations, two in Ghana, two in Australia and two in Mali, with expected attributable production of approximately 2 million ounces of gold at a total cash cost of approximately $250 per ounce in calendar year 2005;

    (d)
    Gold Fields International will have attributable unhedged proved and probable mineral reserves of 19.2 million ounces of gold, attributable measured and indicated mineral resources of approximately 25.9 million ounces of gold and additional attributable inferred mineral resources of approximately 9.1 million ounces of gold (in the case of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, excluding the Arctic Platinum Project, the Cerro Corona Project and the Essakan project);

    (e)
    Gold Fields International will have immediate and near-term production growth opportunities through the development of the Arctic Platinum Project in Finland and the Cerro Corona Project in Peru (the acquisition of which is subject to completion) and the expansion of the Tarkwa gold mine in Ghana, as well as opportunities for future organic growth arising out of the combined Gold Fields/IAMGold exploration portfolio;

    (f)
    Gold Fields International will have a strong balance sheet with approximately $250 million in cash, cash equivalents and gold bullion upon the completion of the Transaction;

5


    (g)
    Gold Fields International will be well positioned for internal growth and have the financial strength and flexibility to take advantage of consolidation and acquisition opportunities in the gold mining industry, support for which has been secured from the SARB as long as the SARB Conditions (including that Gold Fields own more than 50.1% of Gold Fields International) are complied with;

    (h)
    Gold Fields International will have an experienced and entrepreneurial management team with significant operating experience; and

    (i)
    Gold Fields International will have a geographically diversified asset base, including operations and development projects in Australia, West Africa, Europe and the Americas.

Recommendation of the Special Committee

        At a meeting of the IAMGold Board of Directors held on November 29, 2004, after considering the terms of the Transaction as modified by the Amendment, the RBC Fairness Opinion delivered by RBC to the Special Committee and the IAMGold Board of Directors, and other matters, the Special Committee unanimously recommended to the IAMGold Board of Directors that the IAMGold Board of Directors approve the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, that IAMGold enter into the First Amending Agreement and that the IAMGold Board of Directors recommend that IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Anti-Dilution Resolution, the Amendment Resolution, the Share Incentive Plan Resolution, the By-Law Resolution and the Auditor Confirmation at the IAMGold Meeting.

        In making such recommendation to the IAMGold Board of Directors, the Special Committee carefully reviewed and considered the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, with the benefit of advice from financial and legal advisors. The following are the principal reasons for the Special Committee's unanimous recommendation to the IAMGold Board of Directors that the IAMGold Board of Directors recommend that IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of matters relating to the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, at the IAMGold Meeting:

    (a)
    the RBC Fairness Opinion delivered by RBC to the Special Committee and the IAMGold Board of Directors and which concludes that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of November 29, 2004, the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold;

    (b)
    the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is accretive to IAMGold Shareholders on a pro forma net asset value per share basis;

    (c)
    the pro forma cash flow per share pursuant to the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, will be neutral to IAMGold Shareholders in the mid-term, but will be accretive to IAMGold Shareholders in the long-term; and

    (d)
    the other expected benefits of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, to IAMGold Shareholders listed under "Recent Developments — The Transaction — Benefits of the Transaction" in this supplemental information.

Recommendation of the IAMGold Board of Directors

        The IAMGold Board of Directors has unanimously approved the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, and the First Amending Agreement and unanimously recommends that the IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issue Resolution, the Anti-Dilution Resolution, the Amendment Resolution, the Share Incentive Plan Resolution, the By-Law Resolution and the Auditor Confirmation at the IAMGold Meeting. In recommending that the IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the matters relating to the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, the IAMGold Board of Directors considered, among other things, the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the expected benefits of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, as well as the following factors:

    (a)
    the financial analysis provided by RBC to the IAMGold Board of Directors and the Special Committee and the RBC Fairness Opinion which concludes that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of November 29, 2004, the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold;

6


    (b)
    the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, will provide IAMGold with the benefit of an immediate increase in cash flow from the St. Ives and Agnew gold mines in Australia; and

    (c)
    under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amending Agreement, the IAMGold Board of Directors is able, subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, to consider any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that is a Superior Proposal and approve or recommend to IAMGold Shareholders, or enter into an agreement in respect of, a Superior Proposal (see "The Purchase Agreement — Non-Solicitation", "— Superior Proposals" and "— Termination and Termination Fees" in the Circular).

        In making its determination, the IAMGold Board of Directors also considered and evaluated, among other things: (i) information with respect to the financial condition, business and operations of each of IAMGold and the Acquired Companies on both a historical and pro forma basis; (ii) information with respect to the assets and properties of IAMGold and the Acquired Companies; (iii) the other terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, including the structure of the Transaction; and (iv) the risks associated with the completion of the Transaction, including the risk occasioned by Norilsk, Gold Fields' largest shareholder which holds approximately 20% of the outstanding Gold Fields Shares, having covenanted to support Harmony in connection with its offer for Gold Fields Shares and to vote against the Transaction at the Gold Fields Meeting.

        This discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the IAMGold Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all material factors considered by the IAMGold Board of Directors. In making the determination to approve the terms of the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, and the First Amending Agreement and recommending that IAMGold Shareholders vote in favour of the matters relating to the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, at the IAMGold Meeting, the IAMGold Board of Directors did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors which were considered, and individual directors may have given a different weight to each factor.

RBC Fairness Opinion

        On November 29, 2004, RBC delivered the RBC Fairness Opinion to the Special Committee and the IAMGold Board of Directors, which concludes that, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of such date, the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold.

        The complete text of the RBC Fairness Opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion is set out in schedule A to this supplemental information. The RBC Fairness Opinion addresses only the fairness of the consideration under the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, from a financial point of view to IAMGold and is not and should not be construed as a valuation of IAMGold or Gold Fields or any of their respective assets or securities or a recommendation to any IAMGold Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of any of the matters relating to the Transaction. IAMGold Shareholders are urged to, and should, read the RBC Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

        Neither RBC nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of IAMGold, Gold Fields or any of their respective associates or affiliates.

        RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of IAMGold and Gold Fields or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. In addition, as an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to IAMGold, Gold Fields or the Transaction.

        The RBC Fairness Opinion states that RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by Gold Fields or IAMGold to any information requested by RBC.

        The RBC Fairness Opinion states that RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the information (financial or otherwise), data, documents, opinions, appraisals, valuations or other information and material of whatsoever nature or kind respecting IAMGold, Gold Fields, their subsidiaries and the Transaction (collectively the "Information") obtained by it from public sources, senior management of IAMGold or Gold Fields, as the case may be, and their consultants and advisors. The RBC Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of the Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as described in the RBC Fairness Opinion, RBC did not attempt to verify independently the completeness, accuracy, or fair presentation of any such Information. The RBC Fairness Opinion also assumes that all of the conditions required to implement the Transaction, as modified by the Amendment, will be met.

        Senior officers of IAMGold have represented to RBC, among other things, that (i) the Information provided orally by, or in the presence of an officer or employee of IAMGold or in writing by IAMGold or any of its subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the RBC Fairness Opinion was complete, true and correct in all material respects at the date such Information was provided to RBC, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of IAMGold, its subsidiaries or the Transaction and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of IAMGold, its subsidiaries or the Transaction necessary to make such Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such Information was provided or any statement was made, and (ii) since the dates on which such Information was provided to RBC by IAMGold, except as publicly disclosed or as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change,

8



financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of IAMGold or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in such Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the RBC Fairness Opinion. RBC requested but was not provided with a certificate of representation executed by senior officers of Gold Fields as to the completeness and accuracy of the information upon which the RBC Fairness Opinion is based and, as such, the RBC Fairness Opinion is qualified by the lack of such certificate.

        The RBC Fairness Opinion was rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date thereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise of IAMGold and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the Acquired Interests as they were reflected in the Information and as they were represented to RBC in discussions with management of IAMGold and Gold Fields. In its analyses and in connection with the preparation of its opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Transaction.

Recent Developments — The Harmony Offer

        On October 28, 2004, Harmony announced an unsolicited offer to acquire all of the Gold Fields Shares on the basis of 1.275 ordinary shares of Harmony for each Gold Fields Share and 1.275 American depositary shares of Harmony for each American depositary share of Gold Fields (the "Harmony Offer"). The Harmony Offer is being conducted in two stages: an early settlement offer to acquire up to 34.9% of the outstanding Gold Fields Shares (the "Early Settlement Offer") and a subsequent offer to acquire the outstanding Gold Fields Shares not acquired in the Early Settlement Offer (the "Subsequent Offer"). The Subsequent Offer is subject to a number

9



of conditions, including a condition that the Transaction not be implemented. Both the Early Settlement Offer and the Subsequent Offer were conditional upon the approval by the shareholders of Harmony of certain resolutions relating to an increase in the authorized share capital of Harmony. At a general meeting of the shareholders of Harmony held on November 12, 2004, the majority of the shareholders of Harmony approved such resolutions.

        Gold Fields is pursuing certain legal and regulatory challenges to the Harmony Offer. The formal response of Gold Fields to the Harmony Offer was published and mailed to Gold Fields Shareholders commencing on November 3, 2004. In response to an application made by Gold Fields, on November 26, 2004, the Competition Appeal Court in South Africa (the "South African Competition Court") ruled that the Early Settlement Offer is a notifiable merger for competition purposes and may not be implemented prior to the notification and approval of the South African competition authorities. In their ruling, the South African Competition Court interdicted and restrained Harmony from voting or exercising any rights attaching to any Gold Fields Shares which it may acquire under the Early Settlement Offer or otherwise until approval for the Early Settlement Offer is obtained from the South African competition authorities. Harmony has announced its intention to vote its Gold Fields Shares at the Gold Fields Meeting and in certain circumstances to take action to restrain the completion of the Transaction if the Transaction is approved at the Gold Fields Meeting. Pursuant to the Early Settlement Offer, which expired on November 26, 2004, Harmony acquired approximately 11.8% of the outstanding Gold Field Shares.

        Gold Fields understands that Norilsk has executed an undertaking to accept the Subsequent Offer in respect of 98,467,758 Gold Fields Shares, representing approximately 20.03% of the outstanding Gold Fields Shares.

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of
IAMGold Corporation and
The Board of Directors of IAMGold Corporation
220 Bay Street, 5th Flr.
Toronto, ON
M5J 2W4

To the Special Committee and the Board:

        RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC"), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that on August 11, 2004 IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold" or the "Company") and Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") announced a proposed transaction whereby the Company would acquire (the "Transaction") all of the assets of Gold Fields' subsidiaries located outside of the South African Development Community, including Gold Fields' interests in the Tarkwa and Damang mines in Ghana, the St. Ives and Agnew mines in Australia, the Arctic Platinum project in Finland, the Cerro Corona project in Peru (subject to the completion of Gold Fields' acquisition thereof), and certain other exploration properties and equity investments, and approximately US$311 million in cash held at subsidiary companies (the "GFI Assets"). RBC understands that the terms of the Transaction provide that Gold Fields will receive 351,690,218 common shares of IAMGold ("IAMGold Shares"), which will equate to approximately 70% of the outstanding IAMGold Shares at the closing of the Transaction, subject to adjustment based on the total cash contributed by Gold Fields to the ongoing capital expenditure programs of the GFI Assets from and after June 24, 2004 through closing of the Transaction. Holders of IAMGold Shares ("IAMGold Shareholders") will receive a $0.50 per share special dividend prior to the closing of Transaction. RBC further understands that IAMGold will be renamed Gold Fields International Limited upon the closing of the Transaction. The terms of the Transaction are more fully described in the joint management information circular dated November 4, 2004 (the "Circular") which has been mailed to IAMGold Shareholders and holders of Gold Fields common shares in connection with the Transaction.

        RBC further understands that IAMGold and Gold Fields intend to enter into an agreement that will modify the terms of the Transaction whereby the cash contribution from Gold Fields' subsidiaries to Gold Fields International Limited will be reduced by US$200 million (the "Amended Transaction"). The other terms of the Transaction will remain unchanged. The terms of the Amended Transaction will be more fully described in a supplement to the Circular to be mailed to IAMGold Shareholders in connection with the Amended Transaction.

        RBC understands that a committee (the "Special Committee") of the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company will consider the Amended Transaction and make recommendations thereon to the Board. The Special Committee has retained RBC to provide advice and assistance to the Special Committee in evaluating the Amended Transaction, including the preparation and delivery to the Special Committee and the Board of RBC's opinion as to the fairness of the consideration under the Amended Transaction from a financial point of view to IAMGold (the "Fairness Opinion"). RBC has not prepared a valuation of the Company, Gold Fields, the GFI Assets or any of their respective securities or assets and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

Engagement

        RBC was originally engaged by the Board pursuant to an agreement between the Company and RBC dated March 22, 2004 in respect of a proposed transaction between IAMGold and Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. (the "Arrangement") and, on April 28, 2004, RBC delivered to the Board RBC's opinion that the consideration under the Arrangement was fair from a financial point of view to the Company. RBC was previously engaged by the Special Committee pursuant to an agreement between the Company and RBC dated June 14, 2004 in respect of an offer by Golden Star Resources Limited ("Golden Star") to purchase all of the outstanding IAMGold Shares (the "Original Offer") and, on June 23, 2004, RBC delivered to the Special Committee and the Board RBC's opinion that the consideration under the Original Offer was inadequate from a financial point of view to IAMGold Shareholders and that the consideration under the Arrangement was fair from a financial point of view to the Company. RBC was also previously engaged by the Special Committee pursuant to an agreement between the Company and RBC dated July 7, 2004 in respect of an amended offer by Golden Star (the "Amended Offer") and, on July 8, 2004, RBC delivered to the Special Committee and the Board RBC's opinion that the consideration under the Amended Offer was inadequate from a financial point of view to IAMGold Shareholders. RBC was engaged by the Special Committee pursuant to an agreement between the Company and RBC (the "Engagement Agreement") dated July 8, 2004 and, on November 4, 2004, RBC delivered to the Special Committee and the Board RBC's opinion that the consideration under the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fee for its services under the Engagement Agreement, including fees that are contingent on the completion of the Amended Transaction or certain other events. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by the Company in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province and territory of Canada and in the United States.

        RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of the Company, Gold Fields or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to the Company, Gold Fields or the Amended Transaction.

Credentials of RBC Capital Markets

        RBC is one of Canada's largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research.

        RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company or Gold Fields to any information requested by RBC. RBC requested but was not provided with a certificate of representation executed by senior officers of Gold Fields as to the completeness and accuracy of the information provided by Gold Fields upon which the Fairness Opinion is based. Gold Fields informed RBC that it is the policy of Gold Fields not to deliver certificates to financial advisors. In keeping with its policy, Gold Fields declined to deliver such a certificate to RBC. In addition, as the auditors of the Company declined to permit RBC to rely upon information provided by them as a part of any due diligence review, RBC did not meet with the auditors and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the reports of the auditors thereon.

Assumptions and Limitations

        With the Special Committee's approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the information (financial or otherwise), data, documents, opinions, appraisals, valuations or other information and materials of whatsoever nature or kind respecting the Company, Gold Fields, their subsidiaries and the Amended Transaction (collectively, the "Information") obtained by it from public sources, senior management of the Company or Gold Fields, as the case may be, and their consultants and advisors. The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

        Senior officers of the Company have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information provided orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of the Company or in writing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion was, at the date such Information was provided to RBC by the Company, and is at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Amended Transaction and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Amended Transaction necessary to make such Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such Information was provided or any statement was made; and that, (ii) since the dates on which such Information

A-4



was provided to RBC by the Company, except as publicly disclosed or as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in such Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Fairness Opinion.

        RBC requested but was not provided with a certificate of representation executed by senior officers of Gold Fields as to the completeness and accuracy of the information provided by Gold Fields upon which the Fairness Opinion is based and, as such, the Fairness Opinion is qualified by the lack of such certificate. Gold Fields informed RBC that it is the policy of Gold Fields not to deliver certificates to financial advisors. In keeping with its policy, Gold Fields declined to deliver such a certificate to RBC.

        In preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Amended Transaction will be met and that the disclosure provided or incorporated by reference in the Circular with respect to the Company, Gold Fields, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the Amended Transaction is accurate in all material respects.

        The Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company, and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the GFI Assets, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of the Company and Gold Fields. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Amended Transaction.

        The Fairness Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC's attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

        RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any IAMGold Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of the Amended Transaction.

    Fairness Analysis

    Approach to Fairness

        In considering the fairness of the consideration under the Amended Transaction from a financial point of view to the Company, RBC principally considered and relied upon: (i) a comparison of the consideration under the Amended Transaction to the results of a net asset value analysis of the GFI Assets and the Company; (ii) a comparison of the multiples implied under the Amended Transaction to an analysis of recent precedent transactions; (iii) a comparison of the relative contribution of assets, cash flow, earnings, net asset value, production and reserves by the Company and the GFI Assets to the pro forma relative ownership of IAMGold by Gold Fields and IAMGold Shareholders assuming the Amended Transaction is completed; and (iv) a comparison of the potential financial impact to IAMGold of the consideration under the Amended Transaction to the consideration offered under alternative transactions including the Amended Offer at the time the Transaction was entered into.

    Fairness Conclusion

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the consideration under the Amended Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to IAMGold.

Yours very truly,

    (b)
    by adding the following as subsection 2(f):

For greater certainty, any and all dividends or other distributions made in furtherance of the Cash Transfer shall not be taken into account in determining the Net Cash Subscription Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this subsection 2(f) shall cease to have any effect if the Gold Fields Meeting and the vote of Gold Fields shareholders on the Transaction do not occur on December 7, 2004.";

    (d)
    by deleting subsection 6(o) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

    Title.    The Acquired Companies collectively are the owners, directly or indirectly, with good title, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances of all assets and properties (including all mining rights and mining properties) shown or reflected in the Directly Acquired Companies' Financial Statements or the Consolidated Trial Balances except only such assets and properties as have been disposed of in the usual and ordinary course of business of the Acquired Companies or pursuant to a Gold Fields Permitted Transaction since June 30, 2004, and any assets or properties acquired since such dates and, to Gold Fields' best knowledge and belief, there is no state of facts which could reasonably be expected to cause any such title not to be so owned or to be subject to any Encumbrances; except in each case for Encumbrances which individually and in the aggregate do not have a material adverse effect on the Acquired Companies.";

B-3


    (e)
    by deleting from subsection 8(e)(i) and the opening language of subsection 8(f) the words "in accordance with the Gold Fields Disclosure Letter";

    (f)
    by deleting subsection 9(f) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

    (g)
    by adding the following to Schedule D immediately after "business day":

        "Cash Transfer"                                                                                           2(f)".

5.     Concerning the Escrow Agent:

    (a)
    Indemnity in Favour of the Escrow Agent:

    (i)
    Indemnity:    Each of IAMGold and Gold Fields hereby severally covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent against any and all third party claims, demands and judgments, and any loss, liability or expense arising therefrom, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in defending itself against any claim, demand or liability incurred by it and arising from the carrying out by the Escrow Agent of its obligations hereunder except for such claims, demands, judgments, losses, liabilities or expenses that are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, the Escrow Agent, its agents or employees. This indemnity shall survive the release of the Escrowed Funds, the replacement of the Escrow Agent as escrow agent hereunder or the termination of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement if taken or omitted by it in good faith. The Escrow Agent shall also be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document which it considers, in good faith, to be genuine.

    (ii)
    Liability of Escrow Agent:    The Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between the other parties hereto (whether or not the Escrow Agent has any knowledge thereof), and the duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein.

    (iii)
    Notices:    The Escrow Agent shall comply with such certificates, notices or instructions as are provided for in this Agreement and orders or processes of any court having jurisdiction. If any part or all of the Escrowed Funds held in escrow by the Escrow Agent hereunder are at any time attached or seized under any court order or in case any judicial order, judgment or decree shall be

        made affecting this Agreement or any part hereof, then, in such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized to rely upon and comply with such order, judgment or decree. The Escrow Agent is not bound to inquire into the authority of any persons signing any instruction, direction or order hereunder.

      (iv)
      Conflicts:    In the event of any conflicting demand or claim with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to discontinue all further acts until such conflict or claim is resolved, and the further right to commence or defend any action or proceeding for the determination of such conflict or claim, including, without limitation of the foregoing, a suit or action in interpleader. In the event that the Escrow Agent should commence any action to determine any such conflict between the parties thereto, including but not limited to an action in the nature of an interpleader, the Escrow Agent shall, upon deposit of all funds held by it hereunder with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, be released and discharged from any and all duties and obligations imposed upon the Escrow Agent hereunder with respect to the subject matter of such action.

      (v)
      Waiver:    Each party hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) waives any claims or demands against the Escrow Agent with respect to all actions taken by the Escrow Agent in conformity with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to take any action other than as specifically provided for in this Agreement and shall have no liability for any non-action if such action has been restrained by any order or any court or administrative agency or if, in its reasonable determination, it determines that any such action would violate any law or governmental regulation.

    (b)
    Escrow Agent Entitled to Act on Advice:    The Escrow Agent may, in relation to its obligations hereunder, act on the opinion, advice or information obtained from a lawyer or other expert, but shall not be bound to act upon such opinion, advice or information and shall not be held responsible for any loss occasioned for so acting or not so acting, as the case may be, except if such loss results from the negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent may pay any reasonable amount required for legal or other advice as aforesaid and shall be reimbursed as to one-half of any such amount by each of IAMGold and Gold Fields.

    (c)
    Escrow Agent Entitled to Act as Counsel:    Notwithstanding that McCarthy Tétrault LLP is acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that McCarthy Tétrault LLP shall be entitled to act and shall not be disqualified from acting or continuing to act as legal counsel to Gold Fields in respect of any dispute or disagreement relating to this Agreement.

    (d)
    Resignation of Escrow Agent:    If the Escrow Agent at any time, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary or advisable to resign as Escrow Agent hereunder, it may do so by giving at least 30 days' prior written notice of such resignation to Gold Fields and IAMGold and thereafter delivering the Escrowed Funds to any other escrow agent mutually agreed upon by Gold Fields and IAMGold, and if no such escrow agent shall be designated by Gold Fields and IAMGold within 30 days of such written notice, then the Escrow Agent may do so by delivering the Escrowed Funds, at the joint expense of Gold Fields and IAMGold, to the clerk or other proper officer of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to the extent permitted by law (any such successor to the Escrow Agent hereinafter referred to as the "Successor Agent"). Gold Fields and IAMGold may, at any time after the date hereof, agree in writing to substitute a Successor Agent for the Escrow Agent, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds to such Successor Agent.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ON THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOLD FIELDS INTERNATIONAL (AS MODIFIED IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS) UNDER CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("CANADIAN GAAP").

        On August, 11 2004, IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold") and Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") announced their intent to transfer to IAMGold assets of Gold Fields located outside the Southern African Development Community ("the Acquired Interests"). Under the terms of agreement, IAMGold will issue 351,690,218 fully paid and non-assessable common shares to Gold Fields in exchange for the acquisition of the Acquired Interests ("the Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction, IAMGold (to be named "Gold Fields International Limited" upon the completion of the Transaction) will approximately be held 30% by existing IAMGold shareholders and 70% by Gold Fields on a fully diluted basis. On 30 November 2004, Goldfields and IAMGold announced a modification to the terms of the combination of the Acquired Interests with IAMGold ("the Modification").

        We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gold Fields International as at June 30, 2004 and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2004 and have performed the following procedures:

1.
Compared the figures in the columns captioned "Note 4 (a) and Note 4 (f)" to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Companies as at June 30, 2004 and for the year then ended, adjusted for Canadian GAAP differences. We found the figures to be in agreement, or recalculated those figures based on information in such audited consolidated financial statements, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.

2.
Compared the figures in the column captioned "Note 4 (b)" to the Canadian GAAP unaudited consolidated statement of operations of IAMGold Corporation ("IAMGold") for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004 and found them to be in agreement.

3.
Compared the figures in the column captioned "Note 4 (g)" to the fair value adjustments of identifiable assets and liabilities of IAMGold as compiled by IAMGold management.

    REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ON THE UNAUDITED

    PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GOLD FIELDS INTERNATIONAL


4.
Made enquiries of certain officials of Gold Fields and IAMGold who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:

the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

whether the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the securities acts of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Acts") and the related regulations.

        The officials:

    described to us the basis of determination of the pro forma adjustments; and

    stated that the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the securities acts of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Acts") and the related regulations.

5.
Read the notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.

6.
In connection with the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of Gold Fields International for the year ended June 30, 2004, we recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned "Note 4 (a)" and "Note 4 (b)" and found the amounts in the column captioned "Note 4 (e)" to be arithmetically correct.

7.
In connection with the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gold Fields International as at June 30, 2004, we recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned "Note 4 (f)" and "Note 4 (g)" and found the amounts in the column captioned "Note 4 (i)" to be arithmetically correct.

        These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on management's assumptions and adjustments, which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management's assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statements.

Yours faithfully

GOLD FIELDS INTERNATIONAL

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2004
(unaudited)
(Expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated)

1.     BASIS OF PREPARATION

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Gold Fields International as at June 30, 2004 and for the year then ended have been prepared by management after giving effect to the Transaction and subsequent modification to the Transaction. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and include:

    A pro forma condensed consolidated income statement combining the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of IAMGold for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004 with the audited compiled consolidated statement of operations of the Acquired Companies for the year ended June 30, 2004.

    A pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combining the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of IAMGold as at June 30, 2004 and the audited compiled consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as at June 30, 2004.

    The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as at June 30, 2004 has been prepared as if the Transaction and modification to the Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2004. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2004 has been prepared as if the Transaction and modification to the Transaction occurred on July 1, 2003.

    It is management's opinion that these pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the Transaction in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP") applied on a basis consistent with Gold Fields' policies, adjusted for Canadian GAAP. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Gold Fields International which would have actually resulted had the proposed Transaction been affected on the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Acquired Companies and IAMGold as described above.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been compiled using the significant accounting policies as set out in the audited historical financial statements of the Acquired Companies for the year ended June 30, 2004 which are included in the information circular. The accounting policies have been adjusted for Canadian GAAP differences and the necessary adjustments have been recorded in the financial information.

3.     BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

    On August 11, 2004, IAMGold and Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") announced its intent to combine IAMGold and the Acquired Interests. Under the terms of agreement IAMGold will issue 351,690,218 fully paid and non-assessable common shares to Gold Fields in exchange for the transfer of the Acquired Interests. As a result of the Transaction, Gold Fields International will approximately be held 30% by existing IAMGold shareholders and 70% by Gold Fields.

    The business combination will be accounted for as reverse takeover purchase transaction, with the Acquired Interests, for accounting purposes, being identified as the acquirer and IAMGold as the acquiree. As a result, IAMGold's assets and liabilities are fair valued and added to the Acquired Companies' balance sheet at the date of the Transaction. The value of IAMGold's outstanding shares before the transaction is used to calculate the purchase price consideration. The value placed on one IAMGold share was C$7.47 per share, being IAMGold's share price at the date of announcement with a 5% transaction cost allowance.

C-6



    The preliminary allocation of the purchase price summarised in the table below is subject to change:

    (United States Dollars in millions)

Purchase price:      
  145,564,179 IAMGold common shares   825.3  
  Stock options of IAMGold   16.4  
   
 
    841.7  

Net assets acquired:

 

 

 
  Property, plant and equipment   345.7  
  Investments   85.0  
  Inventories   84.4  
  Accounts receivable   27.7  
  Cash and cash equivalents (after special dividend of Cnd$0.50 per IAMGold share)   (14.1 )
  Long-term debt   (10.9 )
  Long-term provisions   (6.1 )
  Deferred income taxes   (61.8 )
  Accounts payable   (19.2 )
   
 
    430.7  
  Goodwill arising   411.0  
   
 
    841.7  
   
 

    The Transaction is subject to, amongst other things, regulatory and shareholder approvals. The fair values of the net assets of IAMGold to be acquired will ultimately be determined at the date of closing of the Transaction. Therefore, it is likely that the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired and purchase consideration will vary from those shown above and the differences may be material.

4.     PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

    The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include the following pro forma assumptions and adjustments:

    (a)
    Extracted from the audited consolidated income statement of the Acquired Companies for the year ended June 30, 2004, adjusted for Canadian GAAP differences.

    (f)

    (g)

    (h)

    (i)
    Pro forma financial effects on balance sheet of Gold Fields International after the Transaction, on a Canadian GAAP basis.

C-7


    (j)
    Represents the impact of interest at a rate of 3%, after taxation at a rate of 2.1% on US$200million cash from the date of the capital raising by Gold Fields Limited. The US$200 million cash was previously contributed by Gold Fields Limited to the Transaction however is now excluded in term of the modification to the Transaction.

    (k)
    Represents the impact of US$200 million less cash contributed to the Transaction in terms of the modification to the Transaction.

    (l)
    No adjustment has been included for the potential additional IAMGold shares to be issued by IAMGold in connection with the total net cash contributed by Gold Fields to the Acquired Companies from June 24, 2004 through the Completion Date.

5.     PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE

    a)    Basic earnings per share

      The average number of common shares used in the computation of pro forma basic earnings per share has been determined as follows:

Number of IAMGold common shares before the Transaction   145,564,179
Issued as a consequence of the Transaction   351,690,218
   
Average number of common shares outstanding, basic   497,254,397
   

    b)    Diluted earnings per share

      The average number of common shares used in the computation of pro forma diluted earnings per share has been determined as follows:

Number of IAMGold common shares before the Transaction   145,564,179
Issued as a consequence of the Transaction   351,690,218
   
Average number of common shares outstanding, basic   497,254,397
Dilutive effect of IAMGold share options   1,941,628
   
Average number of common shares outstanding, diluted   499,196,025
   

      To calculate the dilutive effect of share options an average IAMGold Share price of Cdn$8.36 was assumed for the year ended June 30, 2004.
