IAMGOLD RINGS BELL ON AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE


Markham, Ontario, January 21, 2003—IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD" or "the Company") (TSX:IMG, AMEX:IAG) is pleased to announce that the Company will be featured in the Opening Bell Ringing Ceremonies on the American Stock Exchange on January 22, 2003 at 9:30 am. The Company's shares have been trading on the American Stock Exchange since December 2, 2002 under the symbol IAG.

Mr. William Pugliese, Co-Chairman of the Board of IAMGOLD and Joseph Conway, President and Chief Executive Officer jointly stated that, "Since we have begun trading on the AMEX exchange in early December of 2002, IAMGOLD's stock has traded an average of 120,000 shares per day. We are very pleased with the enhanced liquidity in IAMGOLD shares and expect it to continue to increase in the future. This listing was undertaken in response to strong demand for IAMGOLD shares from the U.S. retail market.

We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with AMEX."
