IAMGOLD FUTURE DIVIDENDS TO BE PAID OUT IN GOLD

MARKHAM, Ontario, January 10 -- IAMGOLD Corp. (TSE:IMG)
is pleased to announce that as a logical extension of
its new Gold Money Policy, announced on January 9, it
will in the future provide its shareholders with the
choice of accepting dividend payments in gold or
Canadian dollars.

The introduction of IAMGOLD's Gold Money Policy has
allowed the Company to provide its shareholders with
the further opportunity of directly exploiting the
monetary nature of gold by implementing a program that
would empower shareholders to take future dividend
payments either in Canadian dollars or in gold. The
former option would be effected by a traditional
payment of Canadian dollars. The latter option would be
effected either by the issuance of a gold bullion
depository certificate from a major institution or
possibly through the innovative mechanisms to effect
the use of gold as money via the Internet, similar to
the programs developed by such companies as
www.GoldMoney.com.

This extension of IAMGOLD's Gold Money Policy will of
course be applicable only to future dividends given
that IAMGOLD's inaugural annual dividend payment of
Cdn$0.05 per share applied to shareholders of record as
of December 24, 2001.

Todd Bruce, president and chief operating officer of
IAMGOLD, said,"We are excited by our Gold Money Policy
as it enables IAMGOLD to be the first company to
establish a policy of offering its shareholders the
opportunity to receive future dividends in gold. We
believe that this further distinguishes IAMGOLD in
terms of it being the premier gold-backed company in
the gold mining industry."

A discussion of IAMGOLD's Gold Money Policy can be
found on the company's website. A simultaneous audio
webcast and conference call regarding IAMGOLD's new
Gold Money Policy will take place on January 11, 2002,
at 11 a.m. EST. If you would like to participate in the

Schon längst bekannt, Reinhard.:-) Ich wollte gestern paar von den Aktien kaufen und immer wenn ich das Limit erhöht habe, hat der Makler den Brief hochgezogen. Saubande.
Auf jeden Fall eine Bemerkenswerte Entwicklung, die Iam da lostritt. Hoffentlich.

Ahoi!
