IAMGOLD Mandates Special Committee to Actively Pursue Alternatives to Maximise Shareholder Value

TORONTO, July 9 (ots/PRNewswire)

- IAMGOLD Board Issues Directors' Circular Recommending Rejection
of Golden Star Offer
TSX Trading Symbol: IMG
    AMEX Trading Symbol: IAG
    Total Shares Outstanding: 145.5MM
    Fully Diluted: 151.5MM
    52-Week Trading Range: CDN$5.75 - CDN$10.99
IAMGOLD Corporation announced today that its Board of Directors
has expanded the mandate of the Special Committee of independent
directors to include actively pursuing alternatives to maximise value
for IAMGOLD's shareholders. The Special Committee has engaged RBC
Capital Markets ("RBC") as its financial adviser to assist it in
identifying and pursuing such alternatives.
The Special Committee was initially mandated to make
recommendations to the IAMGOLD Board concerning the unsolicited,
non-negotiated take-over bid for the common shares of IAMGOLD made by
Golden Star Resources Ltd. (the "GSR Bid"). Earlier today, the
Special Committee received the formal opinion of RBC to the effect
that the consideration offered under the recently revised GSR Bid is
inadequate, from a financial point of view, to IAMGOLD's
shareholders. Based on the opinion of RBC and the report of the
Special Committee, the Board recommends that IAMGOLD's shareholders
reject the GSR Bid and that they not tender their IAMGOLD shares to
the GSR Bid. The Board's recommendation is contained in an updated
directors' circular that is being mailed to IAMGOLD's shareholders.
