IAMGOLD Co-Chairman and CEO, Bill Pugliese is joined by IAMGOLD Co-Chairman and Director Mark Nathanson in stating: "This is a very exciting step forward for our Company. We strongly believe that this combination is logical given the similar strategies of the two companies. The combined management team will possess the strength and technical skills to continue making sound acquisitions in order to maintain the Company's strategy for growth and to be effective partners in mining operations." Joseph Conway, the current President and CEO to Repadre, said: "Repadre's Board and management share Bill and Mark's enthusiasm. We believe that this is a win-win scenario for all shareholders. While both companies have significant strengths on a stand-alone basis, the combination creates an investment vehicle with a production base comparable to any leading mid-tier gold producer. In addition, with US$60 million of uncommitted cash, strong cash flow growth, and little or no capital requirements, the combined management teams will be able to drive the company forward. We are confident the merged company will also attract new investors due to the enhanced profile within the global gold industry." 2 CONFERENCE CALL/WEBCAST DETAILS: A Conference Call and simultaneous webcast will take place at 10:30 am Eastern Time on October 29, 2002.

Gold Fields, the operator of the Tarkwa and Damang mines, reports the mineral resources and reserves according to the South African Code for Reporting Mineral Resources and Reserves (SAMREC Code). The reserves and resources are estimated as at June 30, 2002. Reserves have been calculated using a gold price of US$285 per ounce. Gold price sensitivities are also included.

To encapsulate the shallow underground potential, mineralised zones below the pit shells and above a 2g/t cut-off have been classified and included within the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource categories. In addition, for 2002, individual resources categories are now defined using confidence limits. The fiscal 2001 resource study concluded that there is an historical, positive discrepancy of 14 per cent on tonnage and 4 per cent on grade when reconciling the resource model and mining production since the inception of surface mining at Tarkwa. These factors have not been used in the derivation of the present Mineral Resource. DAMANG - 100% BASIS MINERAL RESERVES AND STOCKPILES
