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

January 6, 2006.
    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'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common shares, no par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'').

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\3\
