TORONTO, ONTARIO (TSX: IMG)(NYSE: IAG)(BOTSWANA: IAMGOLD)
announces that the final decision from the French authorities
regarding the Camp Caiman permits was expected on November 18th,
2007, upon the completion of the national forum on the environment
(Grenelle de l'Environnement). That series of workshops and
committee sessions throughout France was concluded at the end of
October. The Company has been advised that before the Camp Caiman
permits can be delivered, a delegation, representing environmental,
labour, governmental and commercial interests will conduct a final
visit to French Guiana to ensure that our Camp Caiman project
continues to meet or exceed the current standards for responsible
mining practices. This delegation should complete its mission
shortly.
In the meantime, we continue to receive full cooperation and
support for our project from the relevant authorities. At this
time, although the delivery of the final permits may extend
somewhat beyond the end of November, we do not anticipate a delay
that would have a material impact on our construction plans or the
economics of the Camp Caiman project.
