IAMGOLD Intersects High Grade Gold at Monster Lake Project in Quebec

TORONTO, June 25, 2015 /CNW/ – IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”) today provided an update from its ongoing exploration program at its optioned Monster Lake project located 50 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada.  The company is reporting assay results from the 2015 winter diamond drilling program completed in April and totaling 7,782 metres from 21 diamond drill holes.

The 2015 winter drilling program was designed to evaluate priority targets identified from a target generation exercise completed over the entire property and take advantage of winter access conditions.  Target areas evaluated included: the west limb of the prominent folded unit along which new gold showings were identified in 2014; the south-west and north-east strike extensions of the 325-Megane Zone and the structural corridor referred to as the Monster Lake Shear Zone (“MLSZ”); as well as the Zone 52 and Eratix prospect areas. A few of the holes were drilled to better delineate the 325-Megane Zone.

Concurrent with the 2015 winter drilling program, a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic airborne survey (“VTEM”) was also flown over the Lac a L’Eau Jaune and Winchester claim blocks. The survey has identified several strong conductors coincident with the well-known, prominent magnetic anomalies similar to that observed along the MLSZ.  These targets will be evaluated in the ongoing exploration program.
