EXPLANATORY NOTE

IAMGOLD Corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act . The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

Exhibits 99.1 through 99.7 are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-160534).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the Company’s operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

 

   

risks related to our potential need for and ability to obtain additional financing;

 

   

risk related to our earnings being directly related to the market prices for various minerals;

 

   

risks related to our need to continually replace reserves depleted by production to maintain production levels over the long term;

 

   

risks related to our ability to sustain or increase present levels of gold production which is subject to numerous known and unknown risks;

 

   

risks related to the location of our primary properties, including political, economic, and regulatory instability;

 

   

risks related to the global financial markets and their impact on the global economy and the gold mining industry;

 

   

risks related to uncertainty in our ability to fund the development of our mineral properties or the completion of further exploration programs;

 

   

risks related to differences between U.S. and Canadian practices for reporting resources and reserves;

 

   

risks related to our reserves and resources figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated;

 

   

risks related to changes in the market price of gold, silver, and other minerals which in the past has fluctuated widely and which could affect the profitability of our operations and financial condition;

 

   

risks related to currency fluctuations;

 

   

risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control;


   

risks related to governmental policies and regulations;

 

   

risks related to uncertainty in our ability to obtain and maintain certain permits necessary to our current and anticipated operations;

 

   

risk of violating our covenants contained in the 2010 Amended Credit Facility which may cause us to be in default;

 

   

risks related to being a holding company;

 

   

risk related to the use of derivative instruments including credit risk, market liquidity risk and unrealized mark-to-market risk;

 

   

risks related to our business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase our costs of doing business and restrict our operations;

 

   

health risks associated with the mining work force in Africa;

 

   

risks related to our land reclamation requirements for our properties which may be burdensome;

 

   

risks related to the inability to control standards of non-controlled assets;

 

   

uncertainty relating to our ability to attract and maintain qualified management to meet the needs of our anticipated growth and risks relating to our ability to manage our growth effectively;

 

   

risks related to our mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title;

 

   

risks related to our mining properties being subject to various royalty, carried ownership interests and land payment agreements;

 

   

risks related to continuously evolving legislation, which may have unknown and negative impact on operations;

 

   

risks related to operating properties through joint ventures;

 

   

risks related to the integration of acquisitions;

 

   

risks of labor disruptions at our properties;

 

   

risks and unknown costs of litigation;

 

   

risks related to undetected failures in internal controls over financial reporting;

 

   

risks related to increased competition that could adversely affect our ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties for mineral exploration in the future; and

 

   

risks related to our officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interests.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further in the exhibits attached to this annual report. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as required by law. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.


NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS-

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this report on Form 40-F, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). They may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Significant differences between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP are reflected in the reconciliation of Canadian and United States GAAP attached to this Form 40-F as Exhibit 99.4.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this annual report on Form 40-F are in United States dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2009, based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was U.S.$1.00= CDN$1.0466.

RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The Company’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”) filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s (the “CIM”)—CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM

The Company’s AIF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.

AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Audited Annual Financial Statements

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, including the report of the independent auditor with respect thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F. For a reconciliation of important differences between


Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles, see the schedule of reconciliations of Canadian and United States GAAP attached to this Form 40-F as Exhibit 99.4.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is filed as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.

Tax Matters

Purchasing, holding, or disposing of securities of the Registrant may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that are not described in this annual report on Form 40-F.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 and no material weaknesses were discovered.

As this report is required for U.S. reporting purposes, the Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, and the Company is a “large accelerated filer”, the Company is required to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s auditor has attested to internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2009. The auditor’s attestation is filed as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the period covered by this annual report on Form 40-F, no changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that


judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company is required to describe its practices and policies with regard to corporate governance, in accordance with Canadian securities regulatory requirements, by way of a corporate governance statement contained in the Company’s annual report or information circular. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), Botswana Stock Exchange (“BSE”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and also complies with the specific corporate governance requirements of the exchanges, as they relate to the Company. As the Company is listed on the NYSE, the Company complies as necessary with the rules and guidelines of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company reviews its governance practices on an ongoing basis to ensure it is in compliance with applicable securities regulatory requirements, and laws generally, including, without limitation, those introduced pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States, by the SEC and NYSE, as well as Canadian securities regulatory authorities, within the timeframes specified as the revisions and new requirements come into effect.

The Company’s Board of Directors has separately designated standing Human Resources and Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance and Audit and Finance Committees. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that all the members of the Human Resources and Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance and Audit and Finance Committees are independent, based on the criteria for independence and unrelatedness prescribed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, section 10A(m)(3), and the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Canadian National Instrument 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NP 58-201”) establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all Canadian public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices, which disclosure is set out in the Company’s annual report or information circular.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Company’s Board of Directors has a separately designated standing Audit and Finance Committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Company’s Audit and Finance Committee are identified on page 132 of the Annual Information Form, attached herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference. In the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, all members of the Audit and Finance Committee are independent (as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE) and are financially literate.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board has determined that all members of the Audit and Finance Committee (John Caldwell (Chair), Donald K. Charter and Mahendra Naik) are financial experts, in that they each have an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; are able to assess the general application of accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; have experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that entail accounting issues of equal complexity to the Company’s financial statements (or actively supervising another person who did so); have an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions.

The members of the Audit and Finance Committee are appointed and replaced from time to time by resolution of the Board.

The Audit and Finance Committee meets with the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Company’s independent auditors to review and inquire into matters affecting financial reporting, the system of internal accounting and financial controls, as well as audit procedures and audit plans. The Audit and Finance Committee also recommends to the Board of Directors the auditors to be appointed. In addition, the Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the annual financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and undertakes other activities required by regulatory authorities.


Audit Committee Charter

The Company’s Audit and Finance Committee Charter is attached to the Company’s Annual Information Form incorporated by reference hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and available on the Company’s website at www.iamgold.com or in print to any shareholder who provides the Company with a written request to the Assistant Corporate Secretary at 401 Bay Street, Suite 3200, P.O. Box 153, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y4.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Board has adopted a written Code of Conduct by which it and all officers and employees of the Company abide. In addition, the Board, through its meetings with management and other informal discussions with management, encourages a culture of ethical business conduct and believes the Company’s high caliber management team promotes a culture of ethical business conduct throughout the Company’s operations and is expected to monitor the activities of the Company’s employees, consultants and agents in that regard. The Board encourages any concerns regarding ethical conduct in respect of the Company’s operations to be raised, on an anonymous basis, with the President and CEO, the Chairman, or another Board member as appropriate. The Company has established an anonymous, confidential report system, administered by a third party, through which any concern of any employee regarding the integrity of the financial reporting system, the financial reporting process, the financial statements themselves, or the Company’s compliance with applicable laws generally, may by sent directly to the Chairs of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committees, each independent directors.

It is a requirement of applicable corporate law that directors and senior officers who have an interest in a transaction or agreement with the Company promptly disclose that interest at any meeting of the Board at which the transaction or agreement will be discussed and, in the case of directors, abstain from discussions and voting in respect to the same if the interest is material. These requirements are also contained in the Company’s Articles, which are made available to the directors and senior officers of the Company.

All amendments to the code, and all waivers of the code with respect to any of the officers covered by it, which waiver may be made only by the Board in respect of senior officers, will be posted on the Company’s website, submitted on Form 6-K and provided in print to any shareholder who requests them.
