Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

All information included in this presentation, including any information as to the Company’s future financial or operating performance, and other statements that express management’s

expectations or estimates of future performance, other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward looking information or forward-looking statements and are based on

expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, without limitation, statements with respect to:

the Company’s guidance for production, cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, depreciation expense, effective tax rate, and operating margin, capital expenditures, operations outlook, cost

management initiatives, development and expansion projects, exploration, the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral

reserve and mineral resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, permitting timelines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional

capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Forward-

looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans re lating to the future. Forward-looking statements are

generally identifiable by, but are not limited to the, use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “antic ipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “suggest”, “guidance”,

“outlook”, “potential”, “prospects”, “seek”, “targets”, “strategy” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking

statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business,

economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The Company cautions the reader that reliance on such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other

factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of IAMGOLD to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, performance or

achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These risks, uncertainties and

other factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the global prices for gold, copper, silver or certain other commodities (such as diesel and electricity); changes in U.S. dollar and

other currency exchange rates, interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; the level of liquidity and capital resources; access to capital markets,

and financing; mining tax regimes; ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company carries on

business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment; employee relations;

availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of

reserves; adverse changes in the Company’s credit rating; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration,

development and mining business. With respect to development projects, IAMGOLD’s ability to sustain or increase its present levels of gold production is dependent in part on the success

of its projects. Risks and unknowns inherent in all projects include the inaccuracy of estimated reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs of such

projects, and the future prices for the relevant minerals. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flows. The capital expenditures and

time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable, and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. Actual costs and economic returns

may differ materially from IAMGOLD’s estimates or IAMGOLD could fail to obtain the governmental approvals necessary for the operation of a project; in either case, the project may not

proceed, either on its original timing or at all.

For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by the Company, and which may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of IAMGOLD to be materially

different from the company’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking information or forward-looking statements, please refer to the

Company’s latest Annual Information Form, filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com, and filed under Form 40-F with the United States Securities Exchange

Commission at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. The risks described in the Annual Information Form (filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, and available upon

request from the Company) are hereby incorporated by reference into this presentation.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as

required by applicable law.

All monetary amounts are in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Notes:

• Mineral resources (“resources”) and mineral reserves (“reserves”) have been estimated as at December 31, 2014 pursuant to Canadian securities regulatory requirements, specifically the

requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and the definitions of resources and reserves incorporated therein. Consistent with National Instrument 43-101, resources are divided into

“inferred,” “indicated” and “measured” based on the level of geological confidence in the mineralization, and reserves, into “probable” and “proven” upon at least a pre-feasibility study

having been undertaken on the indicated and measured resources. Measured and indicated resources are inclusive of proven and probable reserves. Mineral resources that are not

mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and are not guaranteed to have economic viability. Inferred resources are too speculative geologically to have any economic

considerations applied to them that would allow a translation into reserves.

• Westwood mineral reserves have been estimated as of December 31, 2014 using a $1,300/oz gold price and mineral resources have been estimated as of December 31, 2014 using a 6.0

g/t Au cut-off over a minimum width of 2 metres and have been estimated in accordance with NI 43-101.

• Measured and indicated gold resources are inclusive of proven and probable reserves.

• Cautionary Notes to U.S. Investors : The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company

can economically and legally extract or produce. IAMGOLD uses certain terms in the Annual Report, such as “measured,” “indicated,” or “inferred,” which may not be consistent with the

reserve definitions established by the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the IAMGOLD Annual Reports on Forms 40-F filed with the SEC.

Mining in Quebec

• We are experienced operating underground mines.

Our people have more than 20 years experience operating underground mines –

Doyon, Mouska, Niobec. Many of those workers at Doyon and Mouska now work at

Westwood.

It is common to modify mining methods to adapt to ground conditions which can

vary from one mine to another.

• Fall of ground events are not uncommon in this area

Common in most underground mines worldwide.

Westwood is located along a historically rich rock formation where there is constant

ground movement and includes several fault lines.

While constant, most of the ground movement is minor and not material enough to

be reported.

Events are reported when they materially impact the operation or obstruct the ability

of our employees to return to surface.

Current mining is concentrated

on Sector 1

Production ramp-up strategy is

to increase development

allowing us to operate in more

than 2 sectors concurrently

Mining of multiple sectors allows

for increased operating flexibility

Blending ore from multiple
