President meets with IAMGOLD team

Georgetown, GINA, February 08, 2008

Head of State, Bharrat Jagdeo today met with a team from the Canadian firm, IAMGOLD led by President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, Joseph Conway at the Office of the President.
            Commenting on the meeting, Conway explained that it was productive with the IAMGOLD Representatives discussing their OMAI project as well as other projects in Guyana in which the company is interested.
            “I think the message we wanted to convey was that we are still very focused on mineral development, particularly gold in Guyana and we have been here a long time, and in fact the ninth largest gold-producer in the world,” he pointed out.
            In November, 2006, IAMGOLD acquired CAMBIOR, which is the parent company of OMAI and has been in charge of OMAI’s operations since.
