IAMGOLD Announces Exploration Results Confirming New High Potential Zones East of Doyon
Toronto, Ontario, June 13, 2007 - IAMGOLD Corporation (TSX: IMG / NYSE: IAG) ("IAMGOLD" or "the Company") is pleased to announce results of an additional 12 holes from its Westwood underground exploration program, located near the Company's Doyon infrastructure within the Cadillac belt of the Abitibi region of northern Quebec. These results confirm the existence of 3 mineralized zones on the west side of the Bousquet fault; Zone 2 Extension, North Corridor and Westwood, as previously announced in a press release dated January 17, 2007. Highlights from these new zones include an intersection of 4 metres averaging 38.1g/t Au (hole R14208-06) and a one metre intersection averaging 102.3g/t Au and another one metre section averaging 6.7% zinc (hole R14219-06).
"There is tremendous potential within this camp. These results confirm the extension of the mineralized zones on the west side of the Bousquet fault," stated Joseph Conway, President and CEO. "Most of the intercepts in this campaign have shown visible gold and continue to return high gold grades. There are four drill rigs currently running on this project and results at depth are very interesting. We expect to complete an updated resource shortly."
Zone 2, in its occurrence close to the Doyon fault, was mined in the past as part of the open pit operation at Doyon, whereas both the Westwood and the North Corridor zones were identified in 2004 to the east of the Bousquet fault by a surface drilling program and based on 2004 estimates contain an inferred resource of 1.5 million ounces. The extension of these zones is significant and will have a positive impact on the potential future development of this project
The new drill results represent approximately 12,500m of drilling from January to May. The exploration program in this area consists of 25,000m of drilling and a 1,000m advancement of the exploration drift. In 2007 over $US 5 million will be spent on this program to develop the resource and the drift. The significant results for each zone are presented in Table 1. Additional information is shown in the plan view in Figure 1, the longitudinal sections presented in Figures 2, 3 and 4, and the cross section in Figure 5, which are also available on the Company's website: www.iamgold.com.
As a result of the success in this program, the Company's Project Development group has undertaken a scoping study to evaluate options on further development of this project. Results from this scoping study are expected in August.

Ms. Houle is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) with more than 20 years of experience in mine and exploration geology. IAMGOLD has established an Analytical Quality Assurance Program to control and assure the analytical quality of assays in its gold exploration. This program includes the systematic addition of blank samples, reject and pulp duplicates and internal material references (the "standards") to each batch of samples sent for analysis. Blank samples are used to check for possible contamination in laboratories, field duplicates allow the quantification of overall precision while standards determine the analytical accuracy. Samples were sent for assaying to Doyon's internal laboratory as a primary laboratory
. Samples were assayed by fire-assay according to industry standards.
