MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(The following report dated October 31, 2005, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for September 30, 2005 and related notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report. All monetary amounts in this MD&A are expressed in US$ unless otherwise indicated)

OVERVIEW

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2005 were $4.2 million or $0.03 per share compared to $0.9 million or $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 2004. Year-to-date net earnings in 2005 were $14.3 million or $0.10 per share compared to $8.7 million or $0.06 per share for the same period of 2004. The increase in earnings is mainly a result of corporate transaction costs incurred in 2004 that were not incurred in 2005.

Operating cash flow for the third quarter of 2005 was $1.8 million or $0.01 per share compared to $18.9 million or $0.13 per share for the third quarter of 2004. Year-to-date operating cash flow in 2005 was $16.0 million or $0.11 per share compared to $18.4 million or $0.13 per share for the same period in 2004. The low level of operating cash flow for the third quarter is a result of increases in working capital for the Sadiola and Yatela operations and nil distributions from the Tarkwa and Damang operations during the quarter.

Mining operations at Sadiola performed well during the quarter despite a higher than normal rainfall in the rainy season with total tonnes mined exceeding 3.7 million. Tonnages mined through the nine months year-to-date are 30% higher than achieved through the first nine months of 2004. Tonnages milled during the third quarter were mainly derived from oxide material which resulted in higher recoveries of gold and lower reagent costs. Sulphide material will recommence being fed into the circuit in the fourth quarter.

Direct cash costs, at $28.3 million, were lower than the $31.9 million recorded during the second quarter due to the lower level of tonnes mined and the lower reagent costs. Gold Institute cash costs at $244 per ounce were the lowest since the second quarter of 2004. These cash costs were achieved despite higher costs for fuel, labour and supplies. However, unit costs will increase in the fourth quarter due to the processing of sulphide ores.

Studies continue on the economics of paste tailings, gravity recovery, and the feasibility of recovering and recyclying the cyanide used in the process leach circuit. Decisions will be made by year end on which processes to proceed with. The pre-feasibility on the deep sulphides continues with results expected during the fourth quarter.

Additions to capital assets at Sadiola amounted to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2005 and $14.1 million year-to-date. $3.8 million of the year-to-date amount was spent on the purchase of mining equipment, $6.9 million for the 115 house extension of the mine village, $0.4 million on the cyanide recovery project and the remainder was spent on a variety of smaller capital projects. Exploration expenditures for the third quarter amounted to $0.9 million and $3.2 million year-to-date, of which $1.5 million was spent on FE3 and FE4 drilling and $0.3 million was spent on the deep sulphides project.

During the quarter, Sadiola made a profit distribution of $10.0 million, with IAMGOLD’s share being $3.8 million. Year-to-date, Sadiola has made a total profit distributions of $21.0 million, with IAMGOLD’s share being $7.9 million. An additional profit distribution of $10.0 million with IAMGOLD’s share being $3.8 million, is also expected to be received in the fourth quarter. Operating cash flow at Sadiola for the third quarter was $6.0 million and $31.1 million year-to-date.

Gold production for the third quarter was slightly lower than production in the first and second quarters. Gold production for 2005 has been negatively impacted by lower grades as mining has progressed through a lower grade portion of the orebody. The lower grades mined and crushed have been offset somewhat by higher tonnes crushed. Tonnes crushed year-to-date are 14% higher than for the first nine months of 2004. Ore grades have now improved at Yatela and these higher grades will report to the leach pads for the remainder of the year.

Direct cash costs for the quarter were $17.5 million, which is higher than the $16.0 million recorded in the second quarter. This increase is primarily a result of higher mining contractor costs and fuel costs. Gold Institute cash costs of $300 per ounce were 2% lower than the second quarter of 2005.

Capital expenditures at Yatela totaled $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2005 and $5.9 million year-to-date. Of the year-to-date amount, $5.1 million was spent on the expansion of the leach pads.

During the year, Yatela made loan repayments of $10.3 million, with IAMGOLD’s share being $3.3 million. Additional loan repayments are expected to be made in the fourth quarter. Operating cash flow at Yatela for the second quarter was $3.3 million and $14.6 million year-to-date.

The Company records on its consolidated statement of earnings, the proportionate share of the profits from its working interests in the Tarkwa mine and the Damang mine.

Earnings improved 14% in the third quarter of 2005 and 27% year-to-date over the same periods in 2004 as a result of higher gold prices, increased production at Tarkwa due to the new mill and a non-cash and non-recurring increase to earnings in the first quarter relating to future taxes at Tarkwa and Damang of $2.1 million (IMG share) as a result of a general reduction of effective tax rates in Ghana from 35% to 29%. This improvement is offset by a reduction in production at Damang as the ore grade at Damang has reduced as was expected.

Gold production in the third quarter was 13% below production for the second quarter. As a result of a 3 month delay in the completion of new leach pads in the South area, ore had to be

loaded onto higher existing lifts which results in a longer leach cycle. In addition, feed grade to the mill was lower as some harder, medium-grade ore had to be processed to increase the loading to the SAG mill. Tonnes mined continued at high levels and year-to-date figures are 21% ahead of tonnages mined in the comparable 2004 period.

Direct cash costs for the quarter were $48.8 million, which is higher than the $47.1 million recorded in the second quarter as a result of an increase in tonnages mined. Gold Institute cash costs of $290 per ounce were 14% higher than the second quarter due to the lower ounces of gold produced.

Capital expenditures were $7.2 million during the second quarter and $33.2 million year-to-date. $17.1 million of the year-to-date amount was spent on new heap leach facilities, $2.6 million was spent on the mill, $2.3 million was spent on the purchase of haul trucks and the remaining was spent on other smaller capital projects.

During the second quarter, Tarkwa made a profit distribution of $25.0 million, with IAMGOLD’s share being $4.7 million. Cash balances at Tarkwa as at September 30, 2005 were $89.2 million and a further cash distribution is expected prior to year-end.

Operations at Damang continued to perform at or above budget with gold production for the quarter at 57,000 ounces. The satellite pits continue to provide more ore than anticipated but at lower grade levels.

During the quarter, the project to deepen the main pit was initiated. The total budget for the cut back is $44 million, primarily for waste stripping. The deepening of the pit will access approximately 700,000 ounces of additional gold and will extend the mine life to 2011.

Direct cash costs for the quarter were $18.4 million, which is lower than the $19.2 million spent during the second quarter. Gold Institute cash costs were $371 per ounce, which is 8% higher than the second quarter as a result of a decrease in gold-in-process.

Capital expenditures were $3.8 million for the quarter and $9.7 million year-to-date, of which $2.7 million was spent on the pit cut back and the remainder was spent on a variety of small capital projects.

Cash balances at Damang as of September 30, 2005 were $36.2 million. Cash balances are being retained at Damang to fund the deepening of the pit and no distributions are expected until the additional ore is accessed.

Earnings from Royalty Interests	$	1,513	$	1,046	$	3,562	$	2,679

Earnings from royalty interests in the third quarter of 2005 are 54% higher than the third quarter of 2004 and are 33% higher year-to-date as a result of increased gold prices and increased production at Diavik. Revenue was recorded from the following gold royalty interests for the second quarter of 2005: the Williams mine in northern Ontario; the Limon mine in Nicaragua; the Don Mario mine in Bolivia; and the Magistral mine in Mexico.

Corporate Administration and Other

Corporate administration, excluding corporate transaction costs, at $2.0 million for the quarter and $5.9 million year-to-date, were comparable to the same periods in 2004. Corporate transaction costs were $0.03 million in the third quarter and $0.2 million year-to-date in comparison to $3.3 million and $9.5 million for the same periods in 2004. Corporate transaction costs represent costs associated with proposed business combinations in 2004.

In 2004, earnings were augmented by the sale of a loan for proceeds of $1.8 million, resulting in a gain of $1.1 million which was included in investment income.

Exploration expenditures were $2.3 million in the third quarter, somewhat below the $3.5 million expended in the second quarter as some programs paused to consider results achieved in the first half of the year. Year-to-date expenditures total $6.9 million compared to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 2004. The exploration budget for the full year has been increased to $10.6 million as a result of the continuing success at the Company’s Quimsacocha project in Ecuador.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2005 and $16.0 million year-to-date compared to $18.9 million and $18.4 million for the same periods in 2004. The low level of operating cash flow for the third quarter is a result of increases in working capital for the Sadiola and Yatela operations and nil distributions from the Tarkwa and Damang operations during the quarter. A cash distribution from Tarkwa is expected in the fourth quarter.

In respect of investing activities, $2.4 million was invested in the Sadiola and Yatela operations during the quarter and $8.6 million year-to-date.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains a strong balance sheet and has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund its known commitments.

Working Capital

The Company’s consolidated working capital position is set out below (in $ millions):

	September 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Working Capital	$	119.6	$	102.6
Current Ratio		8.9		5.7

Cash

Consolidated cash balances totaled $42.2 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $37.4 million at year-end 2004, and can be segmented as follows (in $ millions):

	September 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Corporate cash	$	34.3	$	26.3
Joint venture cash		7.9		11.7
Total	$	42.2	$	37.4

Joint venture cash represents the Company's proportionate share of cash at the Sadiola and Yatela mines and forms part of the working capital at those operations. Cash balances exclude the Company’s proportionate share of cash balances held at the Tarkwa and Damang mines which equate to $16.9 million and $6.8 million respectively as at September 30, 2005 and $9.4 million and $4.9 million respectively as at September 30, 2004.

Corporate cash increased by $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $8.0 million year-to-date compared to a decrease of $10.8 million and $27.1 million in the same periods of 2004. Cash flows that determined this decrease are shown below (in $ millions):

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TO THE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The Company has included cash cost per ounce data, which are non-GAAP performance measures, in order to provide investors with information about the cash generating capabilities and profitability of the Company’s mining operations and comparability to other gold producers. The Company reports total cash cost per ounce wherein the cash cost equals the sum of operating costs inclusive of production-based taxes and management fees. The Company also reports Gold Institute cash cost per ounce data in accordance with the Gold Institute Standard, which the Company believes most gold producers follow. GI cash cost equals total cash cost, as described previously, adjusted for the inclusion of certain cash costs incurred in prior periods or the exclusion of certain cash costs incurred in the current period related to future production such as stockpiling, gold in process and stripping costs. These measures differ from measures determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

6.	CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS:

(a) In December 2003, the Department of Taxation in Mali performed an audit of the mining operations at the Yatela and Sadiola mines in Mali for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The audit report claimed taxes and penalties payable of approximately $15.6 million of which the Company’s share is $5.9 million. In 2004, Sadiola paid approximately $5.2 million, of which the Company’s share is $2.0 million, as a deposit towards the assessment. Sadiola and Yatela management have reviewed the claims with legal and tax advisors and are of the opinion that all taxes were properly paid and that the audit report is without merit. As of December 2004, the Department of Taxation has withdrawn or abandoned significant portions of the audit claims. The Company continues to work with the other partners in the Yatela and Sadiola mines to negotiate a resolution of the remaining audit claims and to achieve greater certainty regarding tax and customs matters going forward. The mines may also elect to commence arbitration to enforce their rights under the original Convention Agreements with the Government of Mali.
