PRESS RELEASE
YORBEAU ANNOUNCES FILING OF MEETING MATERIALS FOR UPCOMING SPECIAL
MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Montreal, November 27 , 2018 - Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB.A) (the “ Company” or
“Yorbeau”) announce s today that further to its press release dated October 25, 2018, the Company
mailed its management information circular (the “Circular”) and related voting materials (collectively,
the “Meeting Materials”) on November 21, 2018 to shareholders of reco rd as of November 12, 2018
(the “Shareholders”) in connection with the upcoming special meeting of the Shareholders of Yorbeau
(the “Meeting”). The Meeting is to be held on December 19, 201 8 at 10:00 a.m . (Montreal time) at the
offices of the Company located at 110 Crémazie Boulevard West, Suite 430, Montreal, Quebec H2P 1 B9.
The Meeting Materials have also been filed under the Company ’s profile on SEDAR and are available
at www.sedar.com.
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to adopt a special
resolution (the “Special Resolution”) approving the sale of a 100% interest in Yorbeau’s Rouyn property
(the “Transaction”) upon the exercise of an option t o purchase such interest to be granted by Yorbeau to
IAMGOLD Corporation ( “IAMGOLD”), or one of its affiliates, substantially in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the letter of intent signed by Yor beau and IAMGOLD on
October 24, 2018. In order to be effective, the Special Resolution must be approved by at least two -thirds
of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.
The Board of Directors, after careful consideration, recommends that Shareho lders vote FOR the
Special Resolution, on the basis that the Transaction is in the best interest of the Company.
In reaching its determination that the Transaction is in the best interest of the Company, the Board of
Directors and management of the Company considered and evaluated, among other things, the following:
• The Company has invested considerable amounts of money in the Rouyn property, including over
$21 million since 2006. In spite of exploration successes, including the discovery of the Gamble
Lake deposit, the market capitalization of the Company has not increased proportionally;
• With its existing mineral resources and substantial underground mining infrastructure in place,
the Rouyn property has reached an advanced maturity stage; and
• The next phases of work would involve deep exploration drilling, at least preliminary engineering
studies, and possibly eventual underground development to pursue exploration at depth, and such
future work would require enormous amounts of funding that are beyond the realms of possibility
for most junior exploration companies such as Yorbeau.
Management and the Board of Directors are of the view that the Transaction with IAMGOLD is
ultimately accretive to Shareholders’ value, unlocks long-term value with no further i nvestment on the
part of Yorbeau and aligns Yorbeau with a solid player in the industry.
Shareholders are encouraged to carefully read the Meeting Materials, including the Circular , as they
contain important information regarding the Transaction, including, among other things, the reasons for

the above recommendation, risks associated with the Transaction, the requirements for the Transaction to
become effective, voting procedures at the Meeting and other related matters.
Consummation of the Transaction remains subject to conditions, including completion of due diligence to
IAMGOLD’s satisfaction, the negotiation and finalization of a satisfactory definitive agreement and the
approval of the Shareholders being sought at the Meeting.
