Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of IAMGOLD Corporation To Withdraw Its Common Shares, No Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC

On December 13, 2005, IAMGOLD Corporation, a Canadian corporation (“Issuer”), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, to withdraw its common shares, no par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex”).

On October 31, 2005, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer unanimously approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from listing on Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”). The Issuer stated that the Board determined to withdraw the Security from Amex and list the Security on NYSE for the following reasons: (i) The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Issuer to list the Security on NYSE to enhance the profile of the Issuer; and (ii) in order to avoid the direct and indirect costs and the division of the market resulting from dual listing on Amex and NYSE.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in effect in Canada, in which it is incorporated, and providing written notice of withdrawal to Amex.

The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on Amex, and shall not affect its continued listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.

Any interested person may, on or before February 1, 2006, comment on the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of Amex, and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors.
