Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2021) - IAMGOLD Corporation (TSX: IMG) (NYSE: IAG) ("IAMGOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following updates on its operations:

Rosebel Gold Mine

At the Rosebel Gold Mine ("Rosebel") in Suriname, Rosebel and the Rosebell Goldmines Werknemers Organisatie (the "Union") have finalized a new Collective Labour Agreement. The agreement applies to the two-year period from August 16, 2020 to August 15, 2022, inclusive.

Westwood Mine

At the Westwood Mine in Canada, the Company plans to proceed with a targeted, safe restart of underground operations following the recall of employees announced on April 22, 2021.

The restart would commence in the second half of 2021 with the East Zone. Activities in the second quarter 2021 continue to be focused on training and rehabilitation work.

As reported in IAMGOLD's first quarter 2021 results news release on May 3, 2021, mill feed this year is being sourced from the Grand Duc satellite open pit, located three kilometres from the Westwood mill complex, and is expected to be supplemented by underground material from the Westwood mine. Guidance for Westwood production remains at 45,000 to 65,000 ounces in 2021.
