Essakane continued to deliver strong results and achieved attributable gold production of 106,000 ounces,
in line with the prior quarter, as increased throughput and improved recoveries offset the impact of planned
lower grades.
Mining activity of 15.2 million tonnes was in line with the prior quarter. Operational efficiencies continued to
be achieved from the modifications to the hauling flee t as noted in the previous quarter, with an increased
focus on stripping campaigns in the upper benches. The strip ratio of 2.9 was lower by 12% compared with
the prior quarter and higher by 21% compared with the same prior year period.
Mill throughput of 3.3 million tonnes was higher by 4% compared with the prior quarter and higher by 9%
compared with Q3 2020, benefiting from the positive results of the mill debottlenecking project as hard rock
feed and plant availability exceeded 90%. In -circuit gold inve ntory reduced during the quarter resulting in
higher gold sales when compared with production.
4
The Company reported on certain security incidents during the quarter and subsequent to the quarter (see
news releases dated September 1, 2021, October 29, 2021 and November 1, 2021). The Company
continues to assess the security situation and make appropriate precautionary adaptations. Logistics of
materials, supplies and gold shipments are being managed and have not been materially impacted to date.
However, the Company does note that the security situation has notably deteriorated recently. The Company
also continues to engage with the relevant authorities and other partners in Burkina Faso in connection with
security in the region around Essakane and its supplies and transportation routes.
The COVID-19 situation at Essakane remains relatively stable. Approximately 60% of the workforce is fully
vaccinated.
Outlook
Essakane’s 2021 full year production is trending towards the upper end of the 390,000 to 400,000 ounc e
guidance range. Certain cost s pressures are expected to continue, including t ransportation and security
costs.
Bambouk District – Boto Gold Project, Senegal (IAMGOLD interest – 90%)
During the third quarter, planned capital expenditures for 2021 were further lowered from $60 million to
approximately $35 million by deferring certain previously planned de -risking activities. The scope for 2021
includes a preliminary work package for the completion of a road to provide permanent access to the site,
engineering for critical plant equipment and sustainability programs to promote cohesion with local
communities and ensure adequate environmental protections. The Company continues to evaluate the
project scope, the associated capital expenditures and timing, as we ll as potential value enhancing
alternatives for this project in general. Capital expenditures totaled $4.9 million in the third quarter and $27.6
million YTD 2021.

Gold production in the third quarter of 7,000 ounces was 13% lower than in the prior quarter and 70% lower
than in Q3 2020. Although underground mine productivity is improving, production continues to be impacted
by labour shortages and turnover in addition to the impact of implementing additional safety measures. The
Company is using additional training, schedule changes and focused hiring activities to mitigate labour
market conditions and productivity rates.
Mill throughput was impacted by lower ore availability and an increase in the ratio of hard rock ore from the
Grand Duc pit. Potential solutions to improve processing of the hard rock ore from Grand Duc are being
investigated.
The estimated asset retirement obligation for Westwood, including the Doyon closed site, has increased by
$52.3 million due to an updated closure plan. Of that total, $11.9 million of the increase relates to Westwood
and was accounted for as an increase to Property, plant and equipment and $40.4 million relates to the
Doyon closed site and was accounted for as an increase to Other expenses.
The COVID-19 situation continues to be stable. Approximately 19% of the workforce has reported that it is
fully vaccinated.
Outlook
Underground development, rehabilitation and mining activities are ex pected to continue to ramp up in the
fourth quarter of 2021 as more mining areas become available in the underground mine. Underground
conditions in the West and Central Zones continue to remain under assessment. Based on information
currently available, management expects that mining in these zones will resume in the first half of 2022.
The Company is optimizing a short-term three year operating plan that is now expected to be released with
the Company's 2022 guidance. In addition, the Company is continuin g to evaluate this asset to identify the
optimal path forward for the Company and the site workforce.
Côté Gold Project (IAMGOLD interest – 64.75%)
On October 18, 2021, the Company provided a construction progress update at its Côté Gold Project, a tier
1 asset located in Ontario, Canada . Major earthworks, processing plant civil works and waste stripping
activities are progressing. The first ore blast was completed in October 2021 and first steel installation for
the plant building shell commenced in mid -October. As at September 30, 2021 the project was overall 36%
complete and detailed engineering was 85% complete. The project schedule remains on track for
commercial production in the second half of 2023.
Concurrently with the construction progress update, the Company reported an initial mineral resources
estimate for the Gosselin deposit, located immediately to the northeast of the Côté Gold deposit. The
Company intends to file a new technical report titled “Technical Report on the Côté Gold Project, Ontar io,
Canada” (the “2021 Technical Report”) prepared by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. in accordance with
National Instrument 43 -101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43 -101"), including a
description of the Gosselin deposit mineral resources e stimate, by December 2, 2021. When filed with
applicable securities regulatory authorities, the new 2021 Technical Report will be the current NI 43 -101
technical report on Côté Gold and will replace prior filed technical reports.
The project operating metrics, outlined in the 2021 Technical Report, remain similar as previously announced
in the Company’s July 21, 2020 news release. Cash costs and all-in-sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold
have been estimated to increase to an average of approximately $659 and $802 per gold ounce sold ,
respectively, over the life -of-mine primarily due to the impact of recent inflation, including on operating
consumables. The Company’s remaining 70% share of Côté Gold project costs estimated from October 1,
2021 onwards is estimated at approximately $860 million to $910 million. Incurred and expended costs at
Côté Gold are summarized in the table below:
Q3 2021 YTD 2021 YTD 2020
Capital expenditures1 ($ millions) $ 67.3 $ 200.4 $ 14.4
Non-capital costs 4.3 11.3 0.1
Expended costs 71.6 211.7 14.5
Working capital adjustment2 51.1 80.6 3.3
Incurred costs $ 122.7 $ 292.3 $ 17.8
1 Capital expenditures prior to July 1, 2020 are not included in the Company’s portion of reported total project costs . Capital expenditures include the
positive impact of certain off -setting credits including realized derivative gains of $4.3 million in the third quarter and $11.4 million in the first nine
months of 2021.
2 Working capital adjustment mainly consists of wor k performed not yet invoiced combined with an increase in the accounts payable balance, offset
with an increase in sales taxes.

Rosebel achieved attributable gold production of 40,000 ounces in the third quarter, 60% higher than in the
prior quarter and 5% lower than in Q3 2020.
The situation in Suriname and at site relating to COVID -19 continues to be fragile. Workforce productivity
levels have been adversely impacted which has resulted in the overall reduced activity levels at Rosebel
throughout the year. The site continues to monitor and implement mitigating measures to reduce the impact.
The construction of the additional rooms at the campsite is complete. Approximately 24% of the workforce
is now fully vaccinated.
Mine produc tion ramped up during the third quarter 2021 as the pit conditions, after the rainy season ,
improved. This also allowed access to slightly higher grade ore at the Saramacca deposit and for the ramp
up of strategic pushbacks including waste stripping.
7
The Company continues to collaborate with a government task force and with local communities in an effort
to reduce pit intrusions by small scale miners. Intrusions continued throughout the quarter diminishing
productivity and restricting access to higher grade ore due to frequent mobilization and demobilization of
mining equipment and personnel.
The backlog in maintenance work on the mining fleet and the resulting lower equipment availability and
reliability continued to be of concern during the third quarter 2021. Deliveries of new mobile equipment aimed
at improving availability have commenced.
During the quarter, Rosebel provided 21% of the mill feed at an average grade of 0.64 g/t and Saramacca
provided 36% of the mill feed at an average grade of 0.76 g/t. T he remaining 43% mill feed was from low
grade long term stockpiles.
Mill performance in the quarter increased and achieved the highest throughput level since the start of the
pandemic. The mechanical condition of the gravity and leach/CIP circuits continu es to negatively impact
recoveries and is resulting in higher than normal levels of in -circuit gold inventory. The project to improve
efficiency of the carbon adsorption/desorption circuit is expected to be completed by the end of the year and
the resulting increase in recoveries and lower in-circuit gold inventory levels are expected to be realized from
2022 onwards.
The construction of required infrastructure at the Saramacca project , including the facility pad, the
sedimentation dams, haul road, and public road crossings, as well as all previously planned activities related
to the West Dump rock drains are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, the
dewatering wells, further development of the rock drains and completion of ot her earthworks activities,
including slope remediation and bypass road phase 2, are expected to be completed during 2022.
Outlook
Rosebel's 2021 attributable production guidance is expected to be within the 140,000 to 160,000 ounce
guidance range. The adsorption/desorption circuit project is expected to improve recoveries once completed.
The Company has been working on a revised geological model for the Rosebel and Saramacca deposits to
support the completion of an updated mineral reserves and resources estimate which is now expected to be
released in the first quarter of 2022. Based on currently available information and given the negative impact
of certain factors including higher costs , mineral reserves may decrease and mineral resources will likely
decrease by more than depletion.
OUTLOOK
Total attributable production for the third quarter totaled 153,000 ounces and 448,000 ounces YTD 2021.
Total per-ounce cost of sales, cash costs and all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold are expected within the
guidance range updated in July 2021 although pressure on certain costs is expected to continue . These
include logistics (as a result of bottlenecks in global shipping and transportation systems), consumables
including fuel (as a result of increases in oil and natural gas prices) and shipping containers and spare parts
(as a result of an increase in steel prices).
