**IAMGOLD ANNOUNCES CONSOLIDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE** **FOR CÔTÉ GOLD** 

*All monetary amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.*

**Toronto, Ontario, June 1, 2026 - IAMGOLD Corporation** (NYSE:IAG) (TSX:IMG) ("IAMGOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Côté Gold Mine ("Côté Gold"), located in Ontario, Canada, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The updated estimate, with an effective date of March 31, 2026, reflects the integration of the Côté and Gosselin zones into a consolidated block model with updated economic assumptions, ahead of the upcoming Côté expansion technical report and updated mine plan which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026. Côté Gold is operated by IAMGOLD in a 70\|30 joint venture with Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. ("SMM").

**Highlights**

* Côté Gold Measured and Indicated ("M&I") Mineral Resources (100% basis) on a consolidated basis of **20.3 million ounces of gold**, an increase of approximately 2.2 million ounces, or 12%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
 
Côté: M&I Mineral Resources (100% basis, inclusive of Mineral Reserves) of 12.7 million ounces of gold, an increase of approximately 1.5 million ounces, or 13%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
Gosselin: M&I Mineral Resources (100% basis) of 7.4 million ounces of gold, an increase of approximately 0.6 million ounces, or 8%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
The consolidated model allowed for increased delineation of the saddle area between the Côté and Gosselin zones, with an additional 0.2 million ounces of Indicated Mineral Resources.

* Inferred Mineral Resources (100% basis) on a consolidated basis of **3.5 million ounces of gold**, an increase of approximately 1.3 million ounces, or 61%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
 
Côté: Inferred Mineral Resources (100% basis) of 2.0 million ounces of gold, an increase of approximately 0.8 million ounces, or 63%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
Gosselin: Inferred Mineral Resources (100% basis) of 0.9 million ounces of gold, a decrease of approximately 0.1 million ounces, or -7%, compared with the Dec. 31, 2025 statement.
The consolidated model allowed the addition of 0.6 million new Inferred ounces in the saddle area.

* Updated Mineral Resource estimate integrates the Côté and Gosselin zones, including the connecting saddle area, into a single geological and resource framework.

* Updated assumptions include a gold price of $2,500 per ounce (up from $2,100/oz for Côté and $2,500/oz for Gosselin in the prior statement) and a consolidated Mineral Resource cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au (down from 0.30 g/t Au previously) applied across the consolidated zones.

* The updated Mineral Resource estimate will inform the upcoming Côté Gold Technical Report and mine plan, which remains on track for announcement in the fourth quarter of 2026. The mine plan is expected to evaluate a plant expansion and a larger-scale mining scenario targeting the consolidated Côté and Gosselin resource model.

"This updated mineral resource estimate combines the Côté and Gosselin zones within a single geological framework, an important technical milestone as we move toward the expansion study and updated mine plan expected in the fourth quarter," said Renaud Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of IAMGOLD. "Our teams have done an excellent job building confidence in the resource through the 2025 drilling programs, and we are encouraged with the continued growth and conversion of ounces. As previously communicated to the market, the year-end technical report and mine plan will assess an expansion of the Côté Gold mine that brings the consolidated Côté and Gosselin zones into an integrated mine plan."

**Consolidated Côté and Gosselin Block Model**

The updated Mineral Resource estimate is based on extensive diamond drilling and refined geological interpretations to better define the geometry and continuity of mineralization across the combined Côté and Gosselin zones.

Subsequent to the previous 2025 EOY MRMR statement, additional assays were received from 64 holes in both the Côté and Gosselin zones. In Côté, 39 additional drill holes were added, totaling 20,624 metres, mainly focused in the saddle area to further increase confidence in geological model in this area, adding resources in both indicated and inferred categories. In Gosselin, 25 additional drill holes were added within the resource pit, totaling 14,110 metres, mainly focused on the continued conversion of resources from inferred to indicated. These drill holes have been included in the consolidated model and updated resource estimate.

The estimate incorporates updates to the block model and estimation parameters, and reflects revised economic assumptions, including a gold price assumption of $2,500 per ounce and a cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au, replacing the prior bifurcated assumptions ($2,100/oz at Côté and $2,500/oz at Gosselin) and prior cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t Au. The modelling approach considers distinct mineralization domains and applies standard data processing techniques, including grade capping and compositing, prior to estimation within a three-dimensional block model.

Mineral Resources are classified according to confidence levels supported by drill spacing and data quality. Mineral Resources are constrained within an optimized open pit shell and are reported above a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off grade, reflecting reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The estimate has been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards.

* Totals may not add due to rounding.

* Mineral Resources have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014).

* Mineral Resources are estimated as of March 31, 2026, using a gold price of US$2,500 per ounce and a US$/C$ exchange rate of 1.32.

* Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.25 g/t Au.

* Mineral Resources are constrained within an optimized resource pit shell.

* Gold metallurgical recovery is assumed to be 92.7%.

* Bulk density ranges from 2.70 t/m³ to 2.87 t/m³ for the estimation domains and is assumed to be 1.9 t/m³ for overburden.

* Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

* The consolidated Mineral Resource estimate provides the basis for an updated Mineral Reserve estimate which will be completed as part of the year-end technical report and mine plan update.

* Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling, and there is no certainty that further exploration will result in their upgrade to Indicated Mineral Resources or their conversion to Mineral Reserves.

**Variance Analysis**

Compared with the Mineral Resource statement effective December 31, 2025, the updated total Mineral Resource estimate for the consolidated Côté and Gosselin zones reflects an increase of approximately 148.5 Mt and 2.2 million ounces of contained gold in the M&I category, and an increase of approximately 76.5 Mt and 1.3 million ounces in the Inferred category. The increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources was primarily driven by an increase in the gold price assumption for the Côté zone (from $2,100/oz to $2,500/oz) and an increase in ounces from the consolidated block model (*refer to Figure 3 - Waterfall Reconciliation of Consolidated Measured and Indicated Resources*). From a model consolidation perspective, the optimized resource shell allowed to add volume between the two zones in the Saddle Area, as well gain volume near the surface of Côté, with minimal losses at depth.

**Path Forward - Technical Report and Updated Mine Plan**

The updated Mineral Resource estimate forms the technical foundation for the Company's ongoing work on the expansion mine plan and accompanying Technical Report for Côté Gold, which is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Technical Report will outline an updated life-of-mine plan incorporating the consolidated Côté and Gosselin pit, evaluate options for a plant expansion to leverage the larger consolidated resource base, and update Mineral Reserves accordingly. Further details on the design, scheduling, and economic parameters of the integrated operation will be disclosed at that time.

The Company is planning an additional 30,000 m diamond drilling program for 2026. The next phases of diamond drilling will aim to infill and test the ability to further expand the mineralized envelope for 2027. Drilling and technical studies are continuing at Côté Gold in 2026, with the objectives of further upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources and supporting the integrated mine planning work underway.

**District Exploration** 

The Côté Gold property includes a large and prospective regional land package that offers considerable exploration targets. Near-mine opportunities along the Côté-Gosselin structural corridor, including the Clam Lake and Jack Rabbit extensions, offer potential to extend mineralization to the northeast and southwest through Côté-style tonalite- and diorite-hosted breccia zones. Regionally, the 25-kilometre Swayze West land package hosts a favorable structural setting for higher-grade, potentially underground deposits and will be tested over the next two to three years, including targets at the historic Jerome deposit and the neighboring Northshore, Monella Point and other prospects. Collectively, these targets support the view that the broader Côté Gold district has the potential to host additional deposits that could, if successful, complement the existing operation.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING DISCLOSURE OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES**

The Mineral Resource estimates contained in this news release has been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These standards are similar to those found in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, used by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). However, the definitions in NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards differ in certain respects from those under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, Mineral Resources information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies.

As a result of the adoption of subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (the "SEC Modernization Rules"), which more closely align its disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards, and which became effective on February 25, 2019, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" in its amended rules, with definitions that are substantially similar to those used in NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. Issuers must begin to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2022, though Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS") may still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC Modernization Rules when using the SEC's MJDS registration statement and annual report forms.

United States investors are cautioned that while the SEC now recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under the SEC Modernization Rules, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

The mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized.
