MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”), dated November 3, 2015, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, is intended to supplement and complement the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes ("consolidated interim financial statements") thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with IAMGOLD's audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for December 31, 2014 and the related MD&A included in the 2014 annual report. All figures in this MD&A are in U.S. dollars and tabular dollar amounts are in millions, unless stated otherwise. Additional information on IAMGOLD can be found at www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
 
 
 
 
All information included in this MD&A, including any information as to the Company’s future financial or operating performance, and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future financial or operating performance, other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking information or forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the date of this MD&A. For example, forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are found under, but are not limited to being included under, the headings “Third Quarter 2015 Summary”, “Outlook” and “Quarterly Updates”, and include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the Company’s guidance for production, total cash costs, all-in sustaining costs, depreciation expense, effective tax rate, capital expenditures, operations outlook, development and expansion projects, exploration, the future price of gold, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, permitting timelines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by, but are not limited to, the use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, "budget", "forecast", “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, "schedule", “suggest”, “guidance”, “outlook”, “potential”, “prospects”, “seek”, “targets”, “strategy” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The Company cautions the reader that reliance on such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of IAMGOLD to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the global prices for gold, copper, silver or certain other commodities (such as diesel and electricity); changes in U.S. dollar and other currency exchange rates, interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; the level of liquidity and capital resources; access to capital markets, and financing; mining tax regimes; ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company carries on business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment; employee relations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in the Company’s credit rating; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. With respect to development projects, IAMGOLD’s ability to sustain or increase its present levels of gold production is dependent in part on the success of its projects. Risks and unknowns inherent in all projects include the inaccuracy of estimated reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs of such projects, and the future prices for the relevant minerals. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flows. The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable, and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. Actual costs and economic returns may differ materially from IAMGOLD’s estimates or IAMGOLD could fail to obtain the governmental approvals necessary for the operation of a project; in either case, the project may not proceed, either on its original timing or at all.
For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by the Company, and which may cause the actual financial results, performance or achievements of IAMGOLD to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking information or forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company’s latest Annual Information Form (“AIF”), filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com, and filed under Form 40-F with the United States Securities Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. The risks described in the AIF (filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, and available upon request from the Company) are hereby incorporated by reference into this MD&A.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable law.

THIRD QUARTER 2015 SUMMARY
 
 
 
 
 
FINANCIAL
Cash, cash equivalents and gold bullion (at market value) were $783.4 million at September 30, 2015, up $462.4 million from December 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to proceeds from the sale of Niobec ($504.1 million), proceeds from the sale of the Diavik royalty asset ($52.5 million), proceeds from the issuance of flow-through shares ($39.3 million) and cash generated from operating activities ($71.5 million), partially offset by spending on Property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets ($147.3 million), interest paid ($23.2 million), a decrease in the market value of gold bullion ($11.9 million), purchase of long-term debt ($11.5 million) and the payment of finance lease obligations ($5.6 million).
Revenues from continuing operations for the third quarter 2015 were $207.6 million, down $79.1 million or 28% from the same prior year period. The decrease was the result of lower sales volume at Westwood ($39.4 million) and Rosebel ($18.9 million), lower realized gold price ($27.7 million), the closure of Mouska in 2014 ($9.0 million), lower royalties following the sale of the Diavik royalty asset ($2.0 million), partially offset by higher gold sales at Essakane ($18.4 million). The lower sales volume in the third quarter 2015 was mainly due to lower production at Westwood and lower grades at Rosebel.
Cost of sales from continuing operations for the third quarter 2015 was $227.6 million, down $33.8 million or 13% from the same prior year period. The decrease was the result of lower operating costs ($35.6 million) and lower royalties due to lower realized gold prices ($2.7 million), partially offset by higher depreciation expense ($4.5 million). Lower operating costs in the third quarter 2015 reflect continued progress in improving mining and milling efficiencies and reducing overhead costs.
Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the third quarter 2015 was $68.3 million, up $4.5 million or 7% from the same prior year period primarily due to higher production at Essakane.
Income tax expense from continuing operations for the third quarter 2015 was $8.0 million, down $53.5 million or 87% from the same prior year period. Taxes were significantly higher in the third quarter 2014 due to the agreement to sell Niobec, which triggered a non-cash deferred tax expense ($72.0 million). The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the non-cash deferred tax expense ($10.5 million) as a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar. This reduced the tax basis of mining assets in foreign jurisdictions, which lowered the future estimated tax deductions available when translated into U.S. dollars.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders for the third quarter 2015 was $85.0 million or $0.22 per share, up $0.5 million from the same prior year period. The increase was mainly due to lower revenues ($79.1 million) and higher non-hedge derivative loss ($22.1 million), partially offset by lower income tax expense ($53.5 million), lower cost of sales ($33.8 million), lower exploration expense ($3.7 million), lower general and administrative expense ($2.9 million), lower net loss from associates and joint ventures ($2.8 million) and higher foreign exchange gains ($2.2 million).
Net earnings for Niobec were presented separately as Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated statements of earnings. Comparative periods have been adjusted accordingly. Net earnings from discontinued operations for the third quarter 2015 was $1.2 million after the final working capital adjustment, down $10.8 million from the same prior year period. The decrease was the result of the sale of Niobec in the first quarter 2015.
Net cash from operating activities including discontinued operations for the third quarter 2015 was $9.8 million, down $105.5 million or 92% from the same prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower earnings from operations ($50.4 million) which included the absence of earnings from Niobec following its sale in the first quarter 2015, higher inventory ($28.4 million), net settlement of derivatives ($14.7 million) and higher receivables ($7.8 million).
Net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital1 including discontinued operations for the third quarter 2015 was $34.9 million ($0.09 per share1), down $54.0 million ($0.15 per share1) or 61% from the same prior year period.
Adjusted net loss including discontinued operations attributable to equity holders1 for the third quarter 2015 was $46.9 million ($0.12 per share1), down from adjusted net earnings of $0.2 million for the same prior year period.
OPERATIONS
Regarding health and safety, the frequency of all types of serious injuries (measured as the DART rate2) for the third quarter 2015 was 0.32 or 54% below the target of 0.69. The lower DART rate in the third quarter 2015 was largely attributable to the exceptional health and safety performance achieved at Rosebel.
Attributable gold production, inclusive of joint venture operations, for the third quarter 2015 was 197,000 ounces, down 28,000 ounces from the same prior year period. The decrease was due to lower production at Westwood (33,000 ounces), lower grades at Rosebel (13,000 ounces) and Sadiola (4,000 ounces), closure of Mouska (1,000 ounces) and closure of Yatela (1,000 ounces), partially offset by higher production at Essakane (24,000) due to higher throughput and higher grades.
Attributable gold sales, inclusive of joint venture operations, for the third quarter 2015 were 186,000 ounces, which was lower than attributable gold production of 197,000 ounces due to the timing of sales (7,000 ounces) and a temporary delay in an end-of-quarter shipment at Essakane due to the political circumstances in Burkina Faso (4,000 ounces).

Total cash costs1,3 for the third quarter 2015 were $791 per ounce produced, down 7% from the same prior year period. The decrease was due to favorable grades and throughput at Essakane, and lower operating costs at Rosebel, Essakane and Sadiola. The decrease was partially offset by lower grades at Rosebel and lower production at Westwood. Included in total cash costs1 in the third quarter 2015 were realized hedge and non-hedge derivative losses of $65 per ounce produced ($nil - September 30, 2014) and a reduction of $76 per ounce produced to normalize costs following the production interruption at Westwood.
All-in sustaining costs1 for the third quarter 2015 were $1,027 per ounce sold, down 8% from the same prior year period. The decrease was the result of lower cash costs and lower sustaining capital expenditures. Included in all-in sustaining costs1 in the third quarter 2015 were realized hedge and non-hedge derivative losses of $73 per ounce sold ($nil - September 30, 2014) and a reduction of $80 per ounce sold to normalize costs following the production interruption at Westwood.

Consists of Rosebel, Essakane, Westwood, Sadiola and Yatela on an attributable basis.

The revised outlook is based on 2015 fourth quarter assumptions with an average realized gold price of $1,200 per ounce, Canadian $/U.S.$ exchange rate of 1.25, U.S.$/€ exchange rate of 1.10 and average crude oil price of $55 per barrel. This considers the consensus forecasted crude oil price and the Company's hedging programs.
4 
The previous outlook is based on 2015 full year assumptions with an average realized gold price of $1,250 per ounce, Canadian $/U.S.$ exchange rate of 1.15, U.S.$/€ exchange rate of 1.20 and average crude oil price of $73 per barrel. This considers the consensus forecasted crude oil price and the Company's hedging programs.
GOLD PRODUCTION AND CASH COSTS
The Company maintains its 2015 attributable gold production guidance of 780,000 - 815,000 ounces.
The Company has lowered and narrowed the range of its 2015 total cash costs guidance from $850 - $900 per ounce produced to $825 - $865. The Company has also lowered its 2015 all-in sustaining costs guidance from $1,075 - $1,175 per ounce sold to $1,050 - $1,150. The revised ranges include the benefit of cost reductions achieved to date. Compared to the first three quarters, the costs for the remainder of the year are expected to trend higher due to processing higher proportions of hard rock at Essakane and Rosebel.
ROSEBEL
The Company maintains its 2015 attributable gold production guidance for Rosebel of 290,000 to 300,000 ounces.
ESSAKANE
The Company is increasing its 2015 attributable gold production guidance for Essakane from 360,000 - 370,000 ounces to 365,000 - 380,000 after achieving record production in the third quarter. In the first three quarters production levels were above plan due to favorable grades and strong throughput as the expanded mill continues to be optimized.
WESTWOOD
The Company is decreasing its 2015 gold production guidance for Westwood from 60,000 - 75,000 ounces to 55,000 - 65,000 ounces following lower than planned production in the third quarter 2015 as the mine resources were focused on development and rehabilitation efforts following the seismic event in May 2015.
The Company continues to expect Westwood's all-in sustaining costs for 2015 to be in the range of $1,300 to $1,400 per ounce.
DEPRECIATION EXPENSE
The Company has lowered and narrowed the range of the 2015 depreciation guidance from $285 - $295 million to $270 - $275 million.
INCOME TAXES
The Company expects to pay cash taxes in the range of $17 million to $22 million in 2015. Adjustments to deferred tax assets and or liabilities may also occur in the year.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES OUTLOOK1 
The Company maintains its 2015 capital expenditure guidance of $230 million ± 10% in 2015 as set out below.
The Company has lowered the capital expenditure guidance at Rosebel with an offsetting increase in capital expenditures at Sadiola to more accurately reflect committed capital requirements.
While Westwood’s total capital expenditure outlook remains unchanged, the allocation between sustaining and development/expansion has been adjusted to reflect the revised allocation of resources to future mining blocks.

MARKET TRENDS 
 
 
 
 
 
GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Four major macro-economic themes including the rising risk of a global recession, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, the challenges facing emerging market economies, and the rising risk of geo-political and socio-political risk, have had a major impact on the global economy. These evolving macro-economic dynamics are expected to have an indirect impact on gold prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Market events and conditions may have a positive or negative impact on the Company’s revenues, operating costs, project development expenditures and project planning.
GOLD MARKET
In the third quarter of 2015, gold traded between $1,081 and $1,168 per ounce. During the first half of 2015, continued U.S. economic improvement and the strength of the U.S. dollar combined to reinforce expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate increase. These expectations influenced the price of gold lower for most of the third quarter 2015.  Market sentiment changed after the September 15 meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve, in which rates remained unchanged. Changing expectations resulted in gold price volatility throughout the third quarter 2015.
The market price of gold is a significant driver of the Company’s financial performance. In the third quarter 2015, the Company sold gold at an average price of $1,121 per ounce, just below the average market price of $1,124 per ounce. Subsequent to the second quarter 2015, gold has traded below $1,100 per ounce. As a result, the Company is continuing to reassess the economics of its capital investments.

CURRENCY AND OIL PRICE
The U.S. dollar is the Company’s functional currency. The Company's revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars as gold is priced in U.S. dollars. The Company’s main exposure is to movements in the Canadian dollar and Euro against the U.S. dollar, which have a direct impact on the Company’s Canadian mining activities and international operations.
The U.S. dollar continued to be strong in the third quarter 2015, from its sharp appreciation in the first quarter 2015. Most of the U.S. dollar appeal was the result of diverging monetary policy and economic performance. The Bank of Canada has an accommodative monetary policy and cut its overnight interest rate to 0.5% in July 2015 to aid the economy, which caused the

Canadian dollar to decline to 2015 lows at C$1.3091 in July. Weak oil prices contributed to a widening Canadian trade and current account deficit, resulting in further weakening of the Canadian dollar. The European Central Bank ("ECB") started its quantitative easing program in March 2015. Greece’s austerity implementation slippage continued to be a focus and contributed to the lackluster performance of the Euro.
In the third quarter 2015, the average exchange rates for the Canadian dollar and the Euro to the U.S. dollar were C$1.3082 and $1.1123, respectively. The Company is forecasting exposures of approximately C$78 million and €64 million for the remainder of 2015. These exposures relate to operational and capital expenditures in Canada and West Africa. The Company’s hedging strategy is designed to reduce the exchange rate volatility of these currencies. Refer to Financial condition - market risk section for more information.
In the third quarter 2015, the average price of West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil was $46 per barrel. Lower than expected oil demand due to weakening of the global economy and robust oil supply growth in North America and the Middle East have kept the price of oil low.
The Company expects its fuel consumption for the remainder of 2015 to be the equivalent of approximately 0.4 million barrels of oil for its mining operations in West Africa and South America. The Company’s hedging strategy is to mitigate the price volatility of oil. Refer to Financial condition - market risk section for more information.

Gold production for the third quarter 2015 was 16% lower than the same prior year period due to lower throughput and lower grades. Mill throughput was 11% lower than the same prior year period due to lower mill circuit availability as a result of a planned mill shutdown in the third quarter 2015. Gold grades were 6% lower than the same prior year period as a result of pit sequencing.
Total cash costs per ounce produced were $866 in the third quarter 2015. The increase of 5% compared to the same prior year period was due to lower production. All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold were $1,111 in the third quarter 2015. The increase of 6% compared to the same prior year period was mainly due to higher sustaining capital expenditures and lower sales. Sustaining capital expenditures in the third quarter 2015 were $14.8 million, an increase of $3.0 million from the same prior year period.
In the third quarter 2015, sustaining capital expenditures of $14.8 million included capitalized stripping costs ($4.4 million), capital spares ($2.7 million), mine equipment ($1.9 million), resource development ($1.2 million) and various other sustaining capital expenditures ($4.6 million). There were no non-sustaining capital expenditures during the third quarter 2015.
On October 8, 2015, the Company announced that Rosebel had begun the process to reduce its employee base by approximately 10%. While unit costs have benefited from lower power costs and operational enhancements initiated in 2014, this reduction in labor costs is important to ensure the mine’s long-term viability in the current gold price environment.
Outlook
The Company maintains Rosebel's 2015 attributable production guidance of between 290,000 and 300,000 ounces. The Company has lowered Rosebel's 2015 capital expenditure guidance from $80.0 million to $75.0 million, which reflects a decrease in sustaining capital of $5.0 million.

Record gold production for the third quarter 2015 of 119,000 ounces was 29% higher than the same prior year period due to higher grades and a 22% increase in mill throughput as the expanded mill continues to be optimized. Mill throughput was higher as the proportion of soft rock milled was 19% in the current quarter compared to 5% in the same prior year period as a result of ore from the satellite Falagountou Pit.
Total cash costs per ounce produced in the third quarter 2015 were 13% lower compared to the same prior year period due to higher gold production, favorable fuel prices, lower mill consumables, and lower royalties driven by the lower gold price.
All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold during the third quarter 2015 were 20% lower compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower sustaining capital expenditures and higher sales. Sustaining capital expenditures in the third quarter 2015 were $13.5 million, a decrease of $4.3 million from the same prior year period.
During the third quarter 2015, sustaining capital expenditures of $13.5 million included capital spares ($4.0 million), capitalized stripping costs ($3.4 million), mine equipment ($1.2 million) and various other expenditures ($4.9 million). Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $1.2 million were primarily related to the river diversion and village relocation project.
The political circumstances in Burkina Faso in the month of September in advance of an election which was planned for October were short-lived, reflecting widespread opposition from both domestic and international interests. There was no impact on Essakane’s production during the third quarter 2015. There was a temporary delay in an end-of-quarter gold shipment leaving the country, the sale of those ounces was recorded in the fourth quarter 2015. Stability in the country has been restored and democratic elections are currently anticipated in November 2015.

Outlook
The Company has increased Essakane's 2015 attributable production guidance from 360,000 - 370,000 ounces to 365,000 - 380,000 ounces to reflect the strong performance of the mill and favorable grades realized to date. The Company maintains Essakane's 2015 capital expenditure guidance of $60.0 million, which includes sustaining capital of $55.0 million and non-sustaining capital of $5.0 million.

In the third quarter 2015, Westwood produced 2,000 ounces of gold. Production was lower as a result of the continued impact of the seismic event that occurred in May 2015. Total cash costs per ounce produced and all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold were $1,438 and $1,751, respectively. In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Company reduced the costs attributed to inventory by $15.0 million to normalize for the amount of fixed overhead on a per unit basis as a consequence of lower quarterly production. As a result, the third quarter cash costs and all-in sustaining costs were reduced by $7,442 per ounce produced and $6,374 per ounce sold, respectively.
During the third quarter 2015, capital expenditures of $15.7 million included underground development ($12.6 million), fixed equipment ($1.8 million), underground construction ($0.9 million) and development drilling ($0.4 million). A total of $14.8 million was classified as non-sustaining capital and related to development of blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Subsequent to the seismic event, the Company carried out a thorough review to refine the hypothesis as to the cause, and to develop the plan forward. The review, conducted by internal technical experts and specialized external consultants, entailed the collection of data, the development of numerical models and field observations. The exhaustive study included the examination of seismic history, stress distribution, mine sequencing, drilling and geological mapping. The knowledge acquired through the review enabled Westwood to develop a recovery plan for rehabilitating the affected zone and to enhance the design strategy for ground control and the mining of new areas.
During the review, mining activity outside of the affected zone was undertaken at a moderate pace until the understanding of the original event was improved. Many mining employees were diverted from stoping activities to development activities. A reorganization at the site to support the revised mining plan, included a reduction in the number of contract employees and, given the production level at this time, some rationalization of the mill workforce.
In the third quarter 2015, the results of the review and the remediation plan and enhanced strategy for mining and ground control were reviewed by an independent panel of geotechnical experts. The outcome of the review was positive, and is now being reviewed by provincial authorities. Westwood is nearing completion of its life-of-mine plan. The Company expects to communicate the revised plan in January 2016.

Outlook
The Company is decreasing its 2015 gold production guidance for Westwood from 60,000 - 75,000 ounces to 55,000 - 65,000 ounces following lower than planned production in the third quarter as the mine resources were focused on development and rehabilitation efforts. To align with the development focus, the capital guidance has been adjusted to reflect a re-allocation of $10.0 million from sustaining capital to development capital. The Company maintains Westwood's all-in sustaining costs guidance range of $1,300 to $1,400 per ounce.
Canada - Mouska mine
There was no production at Mouska in the third quarter 2015 as mining and milling operations ceased in 2014 when the mine reached its end of life. In the same prior year period, Mouska produced 1,000 ounces and sold 7,000 ounces.

This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the non-GAAP performance measures section of the MD&A.
Attributable gold production for the third quarter 2015 of 17,000 ounces was 19% lower compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower grades.
Total cash costs per ounce produced were 32% lower compared to the same prior year period mainly due to lower fuel and consumable prices and favorable foreign exchange rates partially offset by lower gold production.
All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold in the third quarter 2015 were 35% lower compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower cash costs.
The results of the reverse circulation drilling program testing remnant oxide targets have returned encouraging results. These will be assessed as part of the year-end reserves and resources update and incorporated into a revised mining plan. A preliminary assessment indicates the potential to extend the mining and milling of oxides into early 2018. We continue to update the feasibility study on the sulphide expansion project and with our partner, AngloGold Ashanti, to look at options to extend the life of the mine.
Mali – Yatela Mine (IAMGOLD interest – 40%)
The Yatela mine produced and sold 1,000 ounces in the third quarter 2015, compared to 2,000 ounces in the same prior year period. Minimal stacking activity took place in the third quarter 2015.
EXPLORATION
The Company was active at brownfield and greenfield exploration projects in eight countries located in West Africa and the Americas.
In the third quarter 2015, expenditures for exploration and project studies totaled $8.2 million, of which $6.5 million was expensed and $1.7 million was capitalized. The decrease of $6.7 million in total exploration expenditures was due to timing issues with certain programs and re-prioritizing of planned expenditures when compared to the same prior year period. Drilling activities on active projects and mine sites totaled approximately 34,650 metres for the third quarter 2015.

Exploration projects - brownfield exclude planned expenditures related to Sadiola of $1.0 million and include planned near-mine exploration and resource development of $10.0 million.
CÔTÉ GOLD PROJECT, CANADA
During the first quarter 2014 an internal study was completed recommending a budget of $25.1 million which was approved by the Board of the Company to perform a feasibility study, and which is anticipated to be completed by the first quarter 2017.
The Company continued to advance the feasibility study by conducting permitting activities and technical studies during the quarter. Expenditures in 2015 are expected to total $5.0 million.
The Company wishes to confirm that mineral reserves have not yet been declared for the Côté Gold project.
In the third quarter 2015, work continued with the integration of assay and logging data from the nearly 5,200 metres of delineation diamond drilling completed earlier in 2015 as well as from the re-logging program of historical drill holes. Work focused on a data geostatistical study and resource parameters analysis to support a revised resource estimate.
Regional exploration activities continued to develop and assess exploration targets within the 516 square kilometre property surrounding the Côté Gold deposit. Prospecting, targeted mapping, stripping and sampling programs were carried out to validate and prioritize identified targets for a planned drilling program in the fourth quarter 2015.
Côté Gold is a long-term asset which is expected to strengthen the Company’s production pipeline.
BROWNFIELD EXPLORATION PROJECTS
The Company's mine and regional exploration teams continued to conduct systematic brownfield exploration and resource development work during the third quarter 2015 at the Rosebel, Essakane and Westwood operations.
Rosebel, Suriname
In the third quarter 2015, approximately 6,100 metres of diamond drilling were completed on the Rosebel mine lease and surrounding mineral concessions. Drilling targeted potential extensions at Royal-Hill, J-Zone and Pay Caro and included a condemnation drilling program of approximately 1,900 metres at Rosebel South. The drilling results will be incorporated into updated resource models and are currently being assessed to guide future drilling programs.
The near mine and regional exploration program continues to focus on evaluating exploration targets in the vicinity of operations and on the Sarafina Option property to support the ongoing strategic objective to discover and outline additional mineral resources within softer, near surface saprolite and transition rocks.
Essakane, Burkina Faso
On April 23, 2015, the Company announced an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Falagountou deposit located about 8 kilometres south east of the Essakane main pit. The updated resource estimate incorporates assay results from an additional 165 reverse circulation and diamond infill drill holes totaling 15,065 metres, which were completed since the reported December 31, 2014 resource and reserve estimate. The indicated resource increased by 84% from 333,000 contained ounces to 613,000 contained ounces and the average grade increased by 10% from 1.38 to 1.52 g/t Au. The estimated indicated resource for Essakane, which includes the Falagountou deposit, increased by 6% from 4.7 million contained ounces to 5.0 million contained ounces at a grade of 1.20 g/t Au.
In the third quarter 2015, approximately 5,600 metres of reverse circulation drilling and diamond drilling were completed on the mine lease and surrounding exploration concessions. This included nearly 2,650 metres of diamond drilling in resource development drilling to infill and expand resources at the N1 satellite pit located approximately 400 metres northwest of the EMZ and at Falagountou to evaluate a potential southern extension. The results of the drilling program will be incorporated into the year-end resource estimate for the Essakane operation.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
THIRD QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
PAGE 15



On the surrounding exploration concessions, just under 3,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling and diamond drilling were completed from an ongoing drilling program on priority targets and mineral prospects. The results are assessed as they are received and will be used to guide future exploration.
Westwood, Canada
In the third quarter 2015, underground excavation totaled 3,000 metres of lateral and vertical development for a total of 13,325 metres year to date. In addition, approximately 19,700 metres of underground resource development diamond drilling and 460 metres of service holes were drilled for a total year to date of 56,400 metres. The diamond drill program continues to focus on infill drilling to upgrade existing inferred mineral resources to the indicated mineral category and ongoing definition drilling on ore zones scheduled to be mined.
GREENFIELD EXPLORATION PROJECTS
In addition to the mine site and brownfield exploration programs described above, the Company conducted active drilling programs on a number of early to advanced stage greenfield exploration projects during the third quarter 2015. Highlights include:
Boto, Senegal
The Boto Gold project hosts an indicated resource of 22.8 million tonnes averaging 1.68 g/t Au for 1.23 million ounces and an inferred resource of 11.0 million tonnes averaging 1.80 g/t Au for 0.64 million ounces effective December 31, 2014 (refer to news release dated February 18, 2015).
In the third quarter 2015, work continued to validate and incorporate all drilling results into a revised resource model and to finalize pit parameters to be used to update the resource estimate. A metallurgical testing program using composite samples prepared from selected core samples continued during the quarter at SGS in Lakefield, Ontario. The Company continues to conduct various technical and environmental studies to advance the economic evaluation of the project.
Siribaya Joint Venture, Mali
The Siribaya exploration project in Mali is operated by IAMGOLD under a 50:50 joint venture with Merrex Gold Inc. ("Merrex"). In the third quarter 2015, final assay results from the delineation drilling program completed in the first half on the newly discovered Diakha prospect were reported. Highlights include: 34 metres grading 11.99 g/t Au, including 18 metres grading 18.10 g/t Au from reverse circulation hole SRC15-485; 20 metres grading 5.14 g/t Au, including 6 metres grading 13.02 g/t Au from reverse circulation hole SRC15-508; 16 metres grading 7.76 g/t Au, including 11 metres grading 10.61 g/t Au and a further 14 metres grading 5.93 g/t Au from diamond drill hole SRD15-171 (refer to Merrex news releases dated August 5 and September 22, 2015). All results are currently being incorporated into a geological model to support the estimation of a 43-101 compliant mineral resource by year end. In addition, composite samples have been selected and prepared from material obtained from the drilling program and forwarded to SGS in Lakefield, Ontario for a preliminary metallurgical testing program. Initial test work will involve the evaluation of gold recoveries as well as comminution testing such as rod and ball mill grindability.
Pitangui, Brazil
Reported mineral resources at the São Sebastião deposit comprise an inferred resource of 4.07 million tonnes grading 4.88 g/t Au for 0.64 million contained ounces (effective January 9, 2014).
The resource delineation drilling program initiated in 2014 on the newly discovered São Sebastião deposit on the Company’s wholly-owned Pitangui project in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, was completed during the third quarter 2015. Approximately 2,200 metres of diamond drilling were completed to continue to upgrade resources within the core area of the São Sebastião resource on 50 x 50 metre drill hole spacing. All results will be incorporated in an updated resource model.
Upon completion of the infill program, drilling commenced to test various electromagnetic ("EM”) anomalies identified on the property from the airborne EM survey completed in 2014. These anomalies are similar to the EM anomaly observed at the São Sebastião deposit and represent priority exploration targets for future drilling programs.
Monster Lake Joint Venture, Canada
The Monster Lake project, located 50 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, is held under an earn-in option to joint venture agreement with TomaGold Corporation. On October 30, 2015, the Company and TomaGold amended the option to allow the Company to earn an immediate undivided 50% interest in the property for a cash payment of C$3.2 million, and to have an additional option to earn a further 25% undivided interest, for a total 75% undivided interest in the project, should it spend a further C$10.0 million on the project within a seven year period, beginning January 1, 2015. Should a development decision be made by the joint venture, or should the joint venture declare commercial production, TomaGold would be entitled to a further C$1.0 million payment.
In the third quarter 2015, the Company completed its summer field program and compiled the exploration results to finalize a further program of diamond drilling. During the third quarter 2015, the Company completed approximately 940 metres of a 4,000 metre drilling program targeting the Megane-325 zone as well as priority targets following encouraging exploration results. The drilling program is expected to continue through the fourth quarter 2015.

Eastern Borosi Joint Venture, Nicaragua
The 176 square kilometre Eastern Borosi project is located in the Golden Triangle of Northeast Nicaragua and is held under an earn-in option to joint venture agreement with Calibre Mining Corporation (“Calibre”). Signed on May 26, 2014, the Company may earn up to a 70% interest in the project by completing scheduled cash payments and exploration work expenditures totaling $10.9 million over six years.
In the third quarter 2015, final assay results were received from the 2015 diamond drilling program completed to drill test selected gold-silver vein systems. Assay results from the Blag vein system reported by Calibre include: 5.37 metres grading 2.99 g/t Au and 31.60 g/t Ag from drill hole BL15-015, 19.16 metres grading 1.11 g/t Au and 223.40 g/t Ag from drill hole BL15-017, 9.44 metres grading 0.69 g/t Au and 488.60 g/t Ag from drill hole BL15-018 and 4.58 metres grading 7.84 g/t Au and 6.00 g/t Ag from drill hole BL15-023 (refer to Calibre news releases dated July 20, 2015). The planned 2015 exploration program is now complete and the results will be compiled and assessed to guide future programs.
Caramanta Joint Venture, Colombia
In the third quarter 2015, a decision was made to terminate the option agreement on the Caramanta project. Despite the positive technical merits of the project, the slow progress and uncertainty in obtaining the necessary permits to advance further drilling programs combined with the difficult funding environment for early stage exploration projects influenced that decision.

As of September 30, 2015, no funds were drawn against the Company’s $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is in discussions to refinance and extend the credit facility. The amount and the terms and conditions could vary from those in the current agreement.
At September 30, 2015, the Company had committed $72.3 million of its $75.0 million letters of credit facility for the guarantee of certain asset retirement obligations.
On January 15, 2014, the Company filed a renewal of its existing short form base shelf prospectus qualifying the distribution of securities up to $1.0 billion. This renewal has a life of 25 months and may be utilized to fund ongoing operations and/or capital requirements, reduce the level of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, fund capital programs, potential future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The renewal is subject to compliance with the covenants of the unsecured revolving credit facility. The issuance of securities in the public markets or to private investors for liquidity enhancement on acceptable terms could be affected by many factors, including but not limited to general market conditions and the prevailing gold price.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company purchased at face value $15.0 million of its senior unsecured notes for cash consideration of $11.5 million. The resulting gain, net of transaction costs, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.5 million.
Under the indenture governing the senior unsecured notes previously issued by the Company‎, if the Company makes certain asset sales, it may use an amount equal to the net proceeds to repay certain debt obligations and/or reinvest, or commit to reinvest, in the Company’s business, within 365 days after the applicable asset sale. At the end of the 365-day period, if there remains $50.0 million or more of the net proceeds that the Company has not used in this manner, the Company would be required to use any such excess proceeds to offer to purchase the senior unsecured notes at par in the manner described in the indenture. The Company currently expects that within 365 days of the sales of the Niobec mine and the Diavik royalty, which occurred in the first quarter 2015, it will have repaid debt obligations and made, or committed to make, substantial capital expenditures and asset acquisitions in a manner permitted by the indenture, with the result that the Company will not be required under the indenture to offer to purchase any of its senior unsecured notes at par in the manner described in the indenture.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Contractual obligations as of September 30, 2015 were $977.2 million and included contractual cash flows on senior unsecured notes ($871.0 million), finance leases ($33.9 million) and capital expenditure and purchase obligations ($72.3 million). These obligations will be met through available cash resources and net cash from operating activities.
The Company holds hedge and non-hedge derivative contracts that are included in the summary of outstanding derivative contracts in the Financial condition - Market risk section.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The Company early adopted IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, as amended November 2013 ("IFRS 9 (2013)") effective April 2014 and all previously recognized impairments were reclassified to Other comprehensive income ("OCI") as an adjustment to opening components of equity as at January 1, 2014.
INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
Associates (Galane Gold Ltd. and INV Metals Inc.) and joint ventures (Sadiola and Yatela) are included in the Consolidated balance sheets as Investments in associates and joint ventures. The Company’s share of earnings (loss) from associates and joint ventures is included in the Consolidated statements of earnings as Share of net earnings (loss) from investments in associates and joint ventures, net of income taxes.
In the third quarter 2015, the Company reviewed its investments in associates for objective evidence of impairment and determined that no impairments existed. For investments in joint ventures, if the Company is made aware of significant events or transactions which were not reflected in the Company’s share of net earnings (loss) from its joint ventures, adjustments would be made to the consolidated interim financial statements.

MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. For hedging activities, it is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices or currency exchange rates and that this in turn affects the Company’s financial condition. The Company mitigates market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters which limit the types and degree of market risk which may be undertaken, and establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which there is no requirement to post any collateral or make any margin calls on derivatives. Counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The Company’s objective is to hedge a portion of its exposure to Canadian dollars and Euros resulting from operating and capital expenditure requirements at Rosebel, Essakane, Westwood and the Corporate offices.
OIL CONTRACTS AND FUEL MARKET PRICE RISK
Diesel is a key input to extract tonnage, in some cases, to wholly or partially power operations. Since diesel is produced by the refinement of crude oil, changes in the price of oil directly impact diesel costs. The Company believes there is a strong relationship between prices for crude oil and diesel.
The Company's 2015 outlook for the average crude oil price is $55 per barrel. This considers the hedged price of derivative contracts associated with the Company's estimated hedge ratio of 79% of oil consumption, along with the remaining consumption at forecasted prices. Depending upon the terms of contractual supply agreements for oil with select host countries, the Company may experience a lag in recognizing the effect of a change in oil prices as compared to spot oil prices due to the timing of pricing reviews. 
SUMMARY OF OUTSTANDING HEDGE AND NON-HEDGE DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
The Company has entered into derivative contracts to limit the impact of fluctuations as a result of significant volatility in global markets by hedging a portion of its expected consumption of Canadian dollars, Euros and oil equivalents.
At September 30, 2015, the Company’s outstanding hedge and non-hedge derivative contracts from continuing operations were as follows:

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash from operating activities for the third quarter 2015 was $9.8 million, down $105.5 million or 92% from the same prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower earnings from operations ($50.4 million) which included the absence of earnings from Niobec following its sale in the first quarter 2015, higher inventory ($28.4 million), net settlement of derivatives ($14.7 million) and higher receivables ($7.8 million).
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in investing activities for the third quarter 2015 was $41.5 million, down $18.8 million from the same prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower spending on Property, plant and equipment ($29.6 million), partially offset by lower repayments from related parties ($7.6 million) and lower proceeds from the sale and leaseback of equipment ($6.4 million).
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in financing activities for the third quarter 2015 was $10.0 million, up $7.4 million from the same prior year period. The increase was mainly due to the purchase of long-term debt ($7.0 million).
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On January 22, 2015, the Company completed the sale of Niobec. The Company received $504.1 million in cash, including working capital adjustments. The sale of Niobec included an adjacent rare earth element ("REE") deposit of which a 2% royalty on gross proceeds will be payable to the Company on any REE production.
Net earnings from discontinued operations for the third quarter 2015 included a final working capital adjustment of $1.2 million for an after-tax gain on disposal of $39.0 million.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
 
 
 
 
 
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is communicated to senior management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under the rules of the Canadian Securities Administration, was conducted as at December 31, 2014 under the supervision of the Company’s Disclosure Committee and with the participation of management. Based on the results of the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014 in providing reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with securities legislation.
Since the December 31, 2014 evaluation, there have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and their design remains effective.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures which:

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
THIRD QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
PAGE 20



pertain to the maintenance of records which accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS;
ensure the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and the Company’s directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions which could have a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was conducted as at December 31, 2014 by the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were effective as at December 31, 2014.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors which could affect internal controls during the third quarter 2015 and their design remains effective.
LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe any disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance the objectives of the control system are met.
CRITICAL JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.
The critical judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements are reflected in note 3(t) of the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Qualified Person and Technical information
The technical and scientific information disclosed in this document was prepared under the supervision of and verified and reviewed by Craig MacDougall, P.Geo., Senior Vice President, Exploration, IAMGOLD.  Mr. MacDougall is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Data verification involves data input and review by senior project geologists at site, scheduled weekly and monthly reporting to senior exploration management and the completion of project site visits by senior exploration management to review the status of ongoing project activities and data underlying reported results. All drilling results for exploration projects or supporting resource and reserve estimates referenced  in this MD&A have been  previously reported in news releases disclosures either by the Company or the project operator as the case may be (see references news releases),  and have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The sampling and assay data from drilling programs are monitored through the implementation of a quality assurance - quality control (QA-QC) program designed to follow industry best practice. Drill core (HQ and NQ size) samples are selected by the project geologists and sawn in half with a diamond saw at the project site. Half of the core is typically retained at the site for reference purposes. Generally, sample intervals are  1.0 to 1.5 metre in length and RC holes are sampled at 1.0 metre intervals at the drill rig. Samples are prepared and analyzed at site for the Company's producing mines and at accredited regional laboratories for the Company's exploration projects, using analysis techniques such as standard fire assay with a 50 gram charge; fire assay with gravimetric finish, or LeachWELL rapid cyanide leach with fire assay with a 50 gram charge. 
FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
 
 
 
 
For a discussion of future accounting policies that may impact the Company, refer to note 3 of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company is subject to various business, financial and operational risks which could materially adversely affect the Company’s future business, operations and financial condition and could cause such future business, operations and financial condition to differ materially from the forward-looking statements and information contained in this MD&A and as described in the Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information found in this document.
IAMGOLD’s vision challenges it to generate superior value for its stakeholders through accountable mining. The Company’s business activities expose it to significant risks due to the nature of mining, exploration and development activities. The ability to manage these risks is a key component of the Company’s business strategy and is supported by a risk management culture and an effective enterprise risk management (“ERM”) approach.
These practices ensure management is forward looking in its assessment of risk. Identification of key risks occurs in the course of business activities, pursuing approved strategies and as part of the execution of risk oversight responsibilities at the Management and Board of Directors' level.
The Company’s view of risks is not static. An important component of its ERM approach is to ensure key risks which are evolving or emerging are appropriately identified, managed, and incorporated into existing ERM assessment, measurement, monitoring and reporting processes.
For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by the Company, refer to the Company’s latest AIF, filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com, and filed under Form 40-F with the United States Securities Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. The AIF, which in addition to being filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, is available upon request from the Company, and is incorporated by reference into this MD&A.
NON-GAAP1 PERFORMANCE MEASURES
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in its MD&A, which are described in the following section.
EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING MINING OPERATIONS
This measure is intended to enable management to better understand the earnings generated by operating mine sites before adjustments for corporate costs and non-operating charges and income. The measure is the difference between IFRS reported revenues and cost of sales, which includes revenues from all gold and royalties, direct costs, and production related allocated costs and depreciation.

GOLD MARGIN
The Company’s MD&A refers to gold margin per ounce, a non-GAAP performance measure, in order to provide investors with information about the measure used by management to monitor the performance of its gold assets. The information allows management to assess how well the gold mines are performing, relative to the plan and to prior periods, as well as assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of gold operations.
In periods of volatile gold prices, profitability changes with altering cut-off gold grades. Such a decision to alter the cut-off gold grade will typically result in a change to total cash costs per ounce, but it is equally important to recognize gold margins also change at a similar rate. While mining lower-grade ore results in less gold being processed in any given period, over the long-run it allows the Company to optimize the production of profitable gold, thereby maximizing the Company’s total financial returns over the life of the mine. IAMGOLD’s exploitation strategy, including managing cut-off grades, mine sequencing, and stockpiling practices, is designed to maximize the total value of the asset going forward. At the same time, the site operating teams seek to achieve the best performance in terms of cost per tonne mined, cost per tonne processed and overheads.
The gold margin per ounce does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS
Adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD and adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD per share are non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes these measures better reflect the Company’s performance for the current period and are better indications of its expected performance in future periods. Adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD and adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD per share are intended to provide additional information, but are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted net earnings attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD represents net earnings attributable to equity holders excluding certain impacts, net of taxes, such as write-down of assets, gain or loss on sales of assets, unrealized non-hedge derivative gain or loss, interest expense which is unrelated to financing working capital, foreign exchange gain or loss, restructuring charges, and changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flows as determined under IFRS.

After adjusting reported income from continuing operations for those items not considered representative of the Company's core business or indicative of future continuing operations, the Company had an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $46.9 million in the third quarter 2015. Although it may be reasonable to expect a tax benefit on the adjusted loss, a tax expense has been recorded. This is a result of the recent history of losses not satisfying the criteria for the recognition of certain tax benefits and related deferred tax assets.

TOTAL CASH COSTS PER OUNCE PRODUCED
The Company’s MD&A refers to total cash costs per ounce produced, a non-GAAP performance measure, in order to provide investors with information about a key measure used by management to monitor performance. This information is used to assess how well the producing gold mines are performing compared to plan and prior periods, and also to assess their overall effectiveness and efficiency.
Total cash costs are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by the Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of gold and gold product suppliers, including leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, the standard is still an accepted measure of reporting cash costs of gold production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary, the cost measures presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties, production taxes, and realized hedge and non-hedge derivative gains or losses, exclusive of depreciation, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration and evaluation costs. These costs are then divided by the Company’s attributable ounces of gold produced by mine sites in commercial production to arrive at the total cash costs per ounce produced.
The measure, along with revenues, is considered to be one of the key indicators of a Company’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. These total cash costs do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and differ from measures determined in accordance with IFRS. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.
The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce produced for gold mines to cost of sales, excluding depreciation expense as per the consolidated interim financial statements.

NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES BEFORE CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL
The Company makes reference to a non-GAAP performance measure for net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital and net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital per share. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors including a build-up or reduction of inventories. Management believes by excluding these items, these non-GAAP measure provides investors with the ability to better evaluate the cash flow performance of the Company.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital.

ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS PER OUNCE SOLD
The Company believes, although relevant, the current total cash costs measure commonly used in the gold industry does not capture the sustaining expenditures incurred in producing gold, therefore, may not present a complete picture of a Company’s operating performance or its ability to generate free cash flow from its current operations. For these reasons, members of the World Gold Council (“WGC”) defined an all-in sustaining costs measure which better represents the costs associated with producing gold. The WGC is a non-profit association of the world's leading gold mining companies, established in 1987 to promote the use of gold.
The all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) per ounce sold measure better meets the needs of analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance and its ability to generate free cash flow. The definition of AISC, on an attributable basis, commences with cost of sales, excluding depreciation expense, and includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining exploration and evaluation expenses, environmental rehabilitation accretion and depreciation, by-product credits, corporate general and administrative costs.
This measure seeks to represent the cost of selling gold from current operations, and therefore does not include capital expenditures attributable to development projects or mine expansions, greenfield exploration expenses, income tax payments, working capital defined as current assets less current liabilities (except for inventory adjustments), items needed to normalize earnings, interest costs or dividend payments.
Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures and is not indicative of the Company’s overall profitability. The calculation of AISC per ounce sold is based on the Company’s attributable interest in sales from its gold mines. The usage of an attributable interest presentation is a fairer and more accurate way to measure economic performance than using a consolidated basis. The Company reports the AISC per ounce sold measure on an attributable sales basis, compared with the Company’s current total cash costs presentation, which is on an attributable production basis.
The Company reports the measure with and without a deduction for by-product credits and reports the measure for its owner-operator mines (includes Rosebel, Essakane, Westwood-commercial production) and Mouska, and in total (includes owner-operator mines, Sadiola and Yatela).
AISC measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and differs from measures determined in accordance with IFRS. It is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. This measure is not necessarily indicative of net earnings or cash flow from operating activities as determined under IFRS.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(e)
Significant accounting policies
These consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
3. FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following new standards were not yet effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated interim financial statements.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") has issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace IAS 11, Construction Contracts and IAS 18, Revenue. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 15 is January 1, 2018. The objective of IFRS 15 is to establish a single, principles based model to be applied to all contracts with customers in determining how and when revenue is recognized. IFRS 15 also requires entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative and relevant disclosures. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting IFRS 15 in its consolidated financial statements in future periods.

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the complete IFRS 9 ("IFRS 9 (2014)").  IFRS 9 (2014) differs in some regards from IFRS 9 (2013) which the Company early adopted effective April 1, 2014.  IFRS 9 (2014) includes updated guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets. The final standard also amends the impairment model by introducing a new ‘expected credit loss’ model for calculating impairment, and new general hedge accounting requirements. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 (2014) is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and must be applied retrospectively with some exemptions. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting IFRS 9 (2014) in its consolidated financial statements in future periods.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Niobec
During the fourth quarter 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Niobec mine and the adjacent rare earth element ("REE") deposit for cash proceeds of $500 million plus working capital adjustments, as well as an additional $30 million when the adjacent REE deposit goes into commercial production, as defined in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. A 2% gross proceeds royalty will be payable on any REE production.  
Regulatory approval for the transaction was received on January 19, 2015 and the transaction closed on January 22, 2015, with a final after-tax gain on disposal of $39.0 million after working capital adjustments. The Niobec mine was previously reported under the Niobium segment and its assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2014.
Major classes of assets and liabilities included as part of the Niobec mine were as follows as at the date of disposal:

As at September 30, 2015, the allowance for doubtful non-trade receivables was $36.0 million (December 31, 2014 - $36.0 million).
On March 23, 2015, the Company sold its Diavik royalty interest over claims in the Lac de Gras region of the Northwest Territories for total proceeds of $56.8 million (under the terms of the sale agreement, royalty income due to the Company in the period from January 1, 2015 to March 23, 2015 was provided to the acquirer). The sale proceeds comprised of cash of $52.5 million and three million five-year warrants of the acquirer with a transaction date fair value of $4.3 million. The warrants, which are valued using the Black-Scholes model with an exercise price of $4.50 and expected life of five years, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period. As at September 30, 2015, the fair value of the warrants was $2.9 million. The carrying amount of the Diavik royalty at the date of sale was $13.2 million, resulting in an after-tax gain on sale of $43.5 million, net of transaction costs, recognized in Interest income and derivatives and other investment gains in the Consolidated statements of earnings (refer to note 22).

(a)
Asset retirement obligations
The Company’s activities are subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental restoration and closure provisions for which the Company estimates future costs. These provisions may be revised on the basis of amendments to such laws and regulations and the availability of new information, such as changes in reserves corresponding to a change in the mine life and discount rates, changes in estimated costs of reclamation activities and acquisition or construction of a new mine. The Company makes a provision based on a best estimate of the future cost of rehabilitating mine sites and related production facilities on a discounted basis.
(b)
Provisions for litigation claims and regulatory assessments
By their nature, contingencies will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and estimates of the outcome of future events.
The Company operates in various countries and may be subject to assessments by the regulatory authorities in each of those countries, which can be complex and subject to interpretation. Assessments may relate to matters such as income and other taxes, duties and environmental matters. The Company is diligent and exercises informed judgment to interpret the provisions of applicable laws and regulations as well as their application and administration by regulatory authorities to reasonably determine and pay the amounts due. From time to time, the Company may undergo a review by the regulatory authorities and in connection with such reviews, disputes may arise with respect to the Company’s interpretations about the amounts due and paid.
The Company is also subject to various litigation actions. In-house counsel, outside legal advisors, and other subject matter experts assess the potential outcome of litigation and regulatory assessments. Accordingly, the Company establishes provisions for future disbursements considered probable.
As at September 30, 2015, the Company did not have any material provisions for litigation claims or regulatory assessments. Further, the Company does not believe claims or regulatory assessments, for which no provision has been recorded, will have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

13.
INCOME TAXES
The Company estimates the effective tax rate to be applied for the full fiscal year and uses this rate to determine income taxes for the interim periods. The impact of critical estimates concerning the probable realization of losses, changes in tax rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recognized in the period in which they occur.
The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $36.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $75.9 million) and varied from the tax expense calculated using the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory income tax rate of 27%. The variance was mainly due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the non-recognition of certain tax benefits and related deferred tax assets.
14.
LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
(a)
Senior unsecured notes
On September 21, 2012, the Company issued at face value $650.0 million of senior unsecured notes (“Notes”) with an interest rate of 6.75% per annum. The Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and mature on October 1, 2020. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual installments on April 1 and October 1.
Under the indenture governing the Notes‎, if the Company makes certain asset sales, such as the sale of the Niobec mine and the Diavik royalty (refer to notes 4 and 10, respectively), it may use an amount equal to the net proceeds to repay certain debt obligations and/or reinvest, or commit to reinvest, in the Company’s business, within 365 days after the applicable asset sale.  At the end of the 365-day period, if there remains $50 million or more of the net proceeds that the Company has not used in this manner, the Company would be required to use any such excess proceeds to offer to purchase the Notes at par in the manner described in the indenture.
In March 2015, the Company purchased at face value $5.4 million of its Notes for cash consideration of $4.5 million. In September 2015, the Company purchased at face value an additional $9.6 million of its Notes for cash consideration of $7.0 million.

(a)
Financial assets measured at fair value through Other comprehensive income
Marketable securities fair value reserve
Share market price exposure risk is related to the fluctuation in the market price of marketable securities. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is not part of its core operations, and accordingly, gains and losses from these marketable securities are not representative of the Company’s performance during the period. Consequently, the Company has designated all of its investments in marketable securities to be measured at fair value through Other comprehensive income. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is primarily focused on the mining sector and relates entirely to investments in equity securities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company disposed of certain marketable securities that were no longer considered to be strategic to the Company.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, total losses of $7.2 million were reclassified from the Cash flow hedge reserve (three months ended September 30, 2014 - $0.9 million). Losses of $5.1 million and $0.4 million were reclassified to Cost of sales and General and administrative expenses, respectively (three months ended September 30, 2014 - $nil and $nil), in the Consolidated statements of earnings, and losses of $1.7 million were reclassified to Property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated balance sheets (three months ended September 30, 2014 - $0.9 million).
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, total losses of $21.4 million were reclassified from the Cash flow hedge reserve (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $1.8 million). Losses of $14.5 million and $2.2 million were reclassified to Cost of sales and General and administrative expenses, respectively (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $0.9 million and $nil), in the Consolidated statements of earnings, and losses of $4.7 million were reclassified to Property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated balance sheets (nine months ended September 30, 2014 - $0.9 million).
There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
(ii)
Currency exchange rate risk
Movements in the Canadian dollar (C$) and the Euro (€) against the U.S. dollar have a direct impact on the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements. The Company’s operations have exposure to these currencies; however, the Company's functional currency and that of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
The Company manages its exposure to the Canadian dollar and the Euro by executing a combination of forward and option contracts. The Company’s objective is to hedge its exposure to these currencies resulting from operating and capital expenditure requirements at some of its mine sites and corporate offices.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
PAGE 42



The Company has designated forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges for its highly probable forecasted Canadian dollar and Euro expenditure requirements. The Company has elected to only designate the spot element of forward contracts and the change in the intrinsic value of options in the hedging relationships. The time value component of options and the forward element of forward contracts are recorded in Other comprehensive income as a cost of hedging.
An economic relationship exists between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the fair values of both the hedged items and hedging instruments move in opposite directions in response to the same risk. The hedge ratio is determined by dividing the quantity of the forward and option contracts by the quantity of the forecasted Canadian dollar and Euro expenditure exposures.
As at September 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting. The periods in which the cash flows are expected to occur and the impact on the Consolidated statements of earnings, are as follows:

Non-hedge derivatives

Currency exchange rate risk
As at September 30, 2015, the Company did not have any outstanding currency derivative contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting (December 31, 2014 - $nil).
(ii)
Oil contracts and fuel market price risk
Diesel is a key input to extract tonnage and, in some cases, to wholly or partially power operations. Since diesel is produced by the refinement of crude oil, changes in the price of crude oil directly impact fuel costs. The Company believes there is a strong relationship between prices for crude oil and diesel.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value hierarchy categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as those derived from prices.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
There was a change in the classification of Level 3 financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2014. During September 2015, equity instruments valued at $2.0 million as at December 31, 2014 and classified as Level 3 were recorded as Level 2 (net of a $0.4 million loss recognized in Other comprehensive income) as a result of a change in the valuation method used to value the instruments.

Valuation techniques
Marketable securities and warrants
The fair value of marketable securities included in Level 1 is determined based on a market approach. The closing price is a quoted market price from the exchange market which is the principal active market for the particular security. The fair value of warrants included in Level 2 is obtained through the use of Black-Scholes pricing model, which uses share price inputs and volatility measurements. The fair value of investments in equity instruments included in Level 2 is determined based on a quoted market price from the exchange market which is the principal active market for securities that are considered to be similar to the particular security. The fair value of investments in equity instruments which are not actively traded is determined using valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant, and therefore were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company used the latest transaction price for these securities, obtained from the entity, to value these marketable securities and warrants.

Bond fund investments
The fair value of bond fund investments included in Level 1 is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets.
Derivatives
For derivative contracts, the Company obtains a valuation of the contracts from counterparties of those contracts. The Company assesses the reasonableness of these valuations through internal methods and third-party valuations. The Company then calculates a credit valuation adjustment or debit valuation adjustment to reflect the counterparty’s or the Company’s own default risk. Valuations are based on the present value of market valuations considering interest rate and volatility, taking into account the credit risk of the financial instrument. Valuations of derivative contracts are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Long-term debt
Long-term debt is accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. The fair value required to be disclosed is determined using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets, and is therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of long-term debt as at September 30, 2015 was $457.2 million (December 31, 2014 - $490.0 million).

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
PAGE 45



Investments in associates
Investments in associates are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when an impairment charge or reversal is required to be recorded. After application of the equity method, the fair value of an investment in associate is determined for purposes of assessing whether an impairment charge or reversal of a previously recorded impairment charge is required. For publicly traded companies, the Company determines the fair value of its investment in associates based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of the investment in the associate’s shares at the balance sheet date. Since there is a quoted market price, this is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As at September 30, 2015, no investments in associates were measured at fair value with the exception of Galane (refer to note 8).
Finance lease liabilities
Finance lease liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. The fair value required to be disclosed is determined using market interest rate inputs and is therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Flow-through common shares
In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 13.8 million flow-through common shares at prices ranging between C$3.51 and C$4.14 per share for net proceeds of $39.3 million (C$50 million). The flow-through common shares were primarily issued to fund prescribed resource expenditures on the Westwood mine. Flow-through common shares require the Company to incur an amount equivalent to the proceeds of the issue on prescribed resource expenditures in accordance with the applicable tax legislation. As at September 30, 2015, the remaining unspent amount was $5.4 million (C$7.2 million).
Flow-through common shares of $35.3 million were recognized in equity based on the quoted price of the existing shares on the date of the issue less issuance costs. The $4.0 million difference between the amount recognized in common shares and the amount the investor paid for the shares is recognized as a deferred gain which is reversed into earnings as eligible expenditures are made. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $3.3 million was recognized as amortization of gain related to the flow-through common shares, and was included in Interest income and derivatives and other investment gains in the Consolidated statements of earnings (refer to note 22).
