The International African Mining Gold Corporation ( Iamgold ) ( proper spelling : IAMGOLD ) is a Canadian mining company headquartered in Toronto . It was founded in 1991 by Mark Nathanson and William Pugliese for gold mining in Mali . The company's current gold and niobium mines are located in West Africa , Suriname and Canada, and employ around 5,400 people. In 2012 the company produced 830,000  troy ounces of gold and 4,700  tons of niobium. Sales were 1.67 billion US dollars and profits 334.7 million US dollars.

history

Businessman Mark Nathanson began negotiations with the Mali government in 1988 to seek gold in the Kayes region . Canadian business partners who had been active there for a long time had informed him of the earning opportunities in the African gold business. In March 1988, Nathanson founded AGEM Limited . After the concession for the 13,000 square kilometer Sadiola area was granted in January 1990 , Mark Nathanson and William Pugliese, known to him from previous businesses, founded the International African Mining Gold Corporation in March 1990 as the parent company for AGEM Limited . In 1991 and 1992 a Canadian engineering company carried out geological surveys in Sadiola on behalf of Iamgold. Together with Anglogold Ashanti (then Anglo American ), Iamgold formed a joint venture in 1992 . This subsidiary of both companies prepared the area for mining and operated the Sadiola mine from 1996. In February 1996, Nathanson and Pugliese sold a portion of the company, the issue price for the 10.4 million common shares was 5.75 Canadian dollars. After the partial sale, the company's founders and management staff held 74 percent, and private investors 26 percent of the company's shares. On March 8, 1996, the stock was traded for the first time on the Toronto Stock Exchange , and from 2001 also on the American Stock Exchange . 1997 Iamgold and Anglo American bought the concession for the Yatela area in Ghana from Eltin Limited of Australia . Iamgold has held an 18.9 percent stake in the Tarkwa mine and the Damang mine in Ghana since 2003. After going on the New York Stock Exchange in 2005, the company acquired the Mupane mine from Gallery Gold in March 2006 .

With the acquisition of Cambior Inc. in November 2006, the company acquired the Niobec Mine, Sleeping Giant Mine, Doyon Division and Westwood Deposit (all in Canada) and the Camp Caiman Project in French -Guayana . The annual gold production increased from 447,066 troy ounces in 2005 to 964,804 troy ounces in 2007. At the end of 2006 Iamgold acquired the Rosebel mine in Suriname from Golden Star Resources . Orezone Resources and its Essakane mine were acquired in February 2009. As of 2009, the Iamgold share was temporarily listed in the Toronto S & P / TSX 60 leading index. Stephen Letwin was named chief executive officer of the company on November 1, 2010 . In 2011, the shares in the Tarkwa mine and the Damang mine and the Mupane mine in Botswana were sold and in early 2012 Trelawney Mining and its Côté Lake deposit in Ontario were acquired. In 2012, Iamgold was ranked 1658th in Forbes Global 2000 . The Quimsacocha deposit in Ecuador was sold to INV Metals in November 2012 , and Iamgold acquired around 47 percent of the shares in INV Metals . At the beginning of 2013, the largest shareholders in Iamgold were the two founders, they held around a quarter of the shares. Other major shareholders were Van Eck Global with around 18.2 percent, BlackRock with around 11.7 percent, Oppenheimer Holdings with around 4.7 percent and the Royal Bank of Canada with around 3.8 percent.

Locations

Iamgold locations (March 2013), headquartered in Toronto, Canada ( 43 ° 39 ′ 6 ″ N, 79 ° 22 ′ 53 ″ W )

Iamgold owns five operating mining areas and mining rights to four other deposits that are being developed .

Mining areas

Gold is mined in four of the mining areas, the Rosebel Mine in Suriname, the Essakane Mine in Burkina Faso , the Sadiola Mine and the Yatela Mine ^[obsolete] (to be closed in 2013). The Niobec mine in Québec produces niobium.

Rosebel mine

Panorama of the Rosebel mine

The Rosebel Mine ( 5 ° 5 ′ 17 ″ N, 55 ° 12 ′ 21 ″ W ) is located in the Brokopondo district in northeast Suriname. Gold was first found in this area in 1879, at times up to 600 miners worked in small mines. The mining was carried out by the state as well as privately, the property was owned by Grasshopper Aluminum Company between 1974 and 1977 and by Golden Star Resources between 1979 and 1985 . This company received the right to develop the area in 1992, and in 1994 this agreement was replaced by a new one between the Grasshopper Aluminum Company, Golden Star Resources and the Suriname Government . Golden Star received a five-year exploration right for the Rosebel area. Together with the company Cambior , which had a 50 percent share in the project, three feasibility studies were carried out over the next few years . Cambior took over the shares in Golden Star in 2001 and pushed the project forward, with commercial gold mining beginning in 2004. Iamgold acquired Golden Star Resources in November 2006, including the Rosebel mine.

The gold mining area is located in the Guiana Mountains . Structurally, the ore deposits are tied to the Surinamese part of the paleoproterozoic Guina shield , which is formed here by several low to medium- grade metamorphic greenstone belts that are separated from one another by terranes made of granite and gneiss . The eight orogenic gold deposits are bound to three large structures within the volcanogenic - sedimentary Rosebel Formation, which is composed mainly of coarse-grained sandstones and conglomerates with minor proportions of claystones . The entire formation was narrowed during the mountain formation, deformed into fold structures and metamorphically overprinted. The Pay Caro, East Pay Caro, Koolhoven and J-Zone opencast mines are located in the approximately 15-kilometer-long southern Mayo, Royal Hill and Roma structure in the northern zone, which is approximately 12 kilometers long . The Rosebel open pit mine is located at the eastern end of the central structure. In 2011 the Rosebel mine produced 385,000 troy ounces of gold at a production cost of 616 US dollars per ounce, and in 2011 it was estimated that it would be worth a further 14 years.

Essakane mine

Open pit at the Essakane mine

In northeast Burkina Faso, on the border between the provinces of Oudalan and Séno , is the Essakane mine ( 14 ° 21 ′ 40 ″ N, 0 ° 4 ′ 27 ″ E ). The deposit has been mined by washing and air sifting since 1985, and in 1991 the Compagnie d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or du Burkina received a concession for the area. Between 1992 and 1999, heap leaching was used to work on the rock left over from the washings and wind siftings . The company Coronation International Mining Corporation received in 2000 six new exploration licenses in July; the project was sold to Orezone Resources in March 2002 . In the same year a joint venture was formed with Gold Fields , which took over the management of the project in 2006. A feasibility study was carried out in 2007. Following the acquisition of Orezone Resources, Iamgold took over management of the Essakane mine in February 2009.

The ores extracted from the Essakane mine are tied to a paleoproterozoic greenstone belt. The lowest layers are composed of rocks from the green slate facies , such as claystones, limestones and volcanoclastic rocks, as well as conglomerates and light-colored volcanic rocks . Siliciclastic metasediments and conglomerates were deposited on top . The gold is bound to quartz - carbonate - veins , which run through an asymmetrical , northwest- vergent saddle . The highest ore concentrations were measured in the eastern part of the saddle. The gold has been mined commercially in open-cast mining since 2010, in 2011 the annual production was 337,000 troy ounces with production costs of 488 US dollars per ounce, the profitable mining time of the Essakane mine was estimated at 14 years in 2011.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2011)	Gold content per ton	Troy ounces
Proven reserves	109.245 million tons	1.1 grams	3.472 million
Estimated reserves	163.748 million tons	1.1 grams	5.059 million
Other suspected reserves	024.128 million tons	1.1 grams	0.797 million

Sadiola mine

Mining in the Sadiola mine

The Sadiola Mine ( 13 ° 54 ′ 2 ″ N, 11 ° 40 ′ 38 ″ W ) is located in the southwest of Mali, near the border with Senegal . Gold has been mined in small mines in this area for at least 300 years. As part of a funding program of the European Development Fund , extensive geochemical prospecting was carried out between 1987 and 1988 . High concentrations of gold, arsenic and antimony were discovered near the villages of Sadiola and Dinguilou . The founders of Iamgold obtained mining rights for the area in 1990. In December 1992, Sadiola Hill ore reserves of ore enriched by weathering the host rock were estimated at 22.3 million tons of rock with a gold grade of 3.3 grams per tonne. Iamgold and Anglo American founded a joint venture , in which the country of Mali is also involved, to mine the deposit. Anglo American took over the operation of the open pit mine and the processing plant , both companies held 38 percent of the joint venture. The first gold bars were cast in December 1996, and commercial production began in March 1997. In 2009, Iamgold and Anglogold Ashanti increased their shares in the joint venture to 41 percent each; the Mali government has held 18 percent since then.

The Sadiola Hill gold deposits are bound to a tectonic structure (Kenieba-Kedougou window ) in the paleoproterozoic Kenema-Man shield. The Senegalese-Malian shear zone , to which several gold deposits are bound, runs between the older Saboussire Formation, composed of calcareous- alkaline batholiths , and the younger Kofi Formation, made of rocks of the green schist and amphibolite facies . At the northern end of the Kofi Formation is the Sadiola Mine. The predominant secondary rocks of the ore are greywacke , marble , diorite and quartz- feldspar - porphyry . The gold content per ton varies between 2 and 20 grams of rock; the gold is often very fine-grained (around 15  micrometers ). In 2011, the Sadiola mine produced 121,000 troy ounces of gold at a cost of production of $ 722 per troy ounce. Starting from 2011, gold will probably be able to be mined in the opencast mine for a good eight years.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2011)	Gold content per ton	Troy ounces
Proven reserves	107.109 million tons	1.6 grams	2.298 million
Estimated reserves	172.015 million tons	1.6 grams	3.471 million
Other suspected reserves	045.04 million tons	1.6 grams	0.926 million

Yatela mine

Open pit mine of the Yatela mine

The Yatela Mine is 25 kilometers north of the Sadiola Mine ( 14 ° 5 ′ 8 ″ N, 11 ° 45 ′ 1 ″ W ). In the course of the exploration in Sadiola, a promising deposit was also discovered in the Yatela area, in 1997 Iamgold and Anglo American bought the concession for the area from Eltin Limited of Australia . A feasibility study was completed in November 1999 and in February 2000 the government of Mali allowed the gold to be mined. Commercial production began in 2001, and mining is due to end in 2013 due to the exhausted reserves of minable rock ^{[out of date]} .

The Yatela mine is located in the same tectonic structure, the Kenieba – Kedougou window, as the Sadiola mine. The mineralization of gold and finely divided pyrite is bound to a fault surface between dolomite and diorite that rises from west to east . As a result of the karstification of the dolomite, a 220 meter deep subrosion basin formed , which was filled at the base with discordantly deposited sandstone and slate blocks . The coarse sediments are covered by an alternating layer of fine-grain sand , gravel and laterite and form the trough filling. A gold-enriched iron ore can be found at the base of the hollow filling, the solution residue from the dolomite rocks. The Yatela mine produced 29,000 troy ounces of gold in 2011 at a cost of production of $ 1,438 per ounce.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2011)	Gold content per ton	Troy ounces
Proven reserves	2.931 million tons	1.4 grams	53,000
Estimated reserves	3.83 million tons	2.1 grams	91,000
Other suspected reserves	0.806 million tons	2.8 grams	29,000

Niobec mine

Mining underground

The Niobec mine ( 48 ° 31 ′ 54 ″ N, 71 ° 9 ′ 27 ″ W ) is located about 25 kilometers northwest of Chicoutimi in the province of Québec, where niobium is mined underground . The deposit was discovered by Soquem Inc. in 1967 , and commercial production of niobium (V) oxide began in 1976 . It was sold as a concentrate to Europe, Japan and the USA. Since 1994 the concentrate has been processed at the Niobec mine in Ferroniobium (contains around 60–70 percent niobium, the rest is iron). In 1986 Cambior Inc. acquired 50 percent of the Niobec mine from Soquem Inc. in 2004 the remaining 50 percent of Mazarin Inc. was added. Iamgold took over Cambior in November 2006 and increased the capacity of the finishing plant; the mine shaft was deepened in 2008 from 550 meters to 817 meters.

The mining area is located in the southern portion of the Saint Honoré carbonatite , part of the Grenville structure on the Canadian Shield . The carbonatite, a carbonate-rich, igneous intrusive rock, consists mainly of calcite, dolomite and ankerite , more rarely siderite and magnesite . The carbonate-rich rock to which the niobium mineralization is bound is completely overlaid by a Paleozoic limestone formation and a more recent series of conglomerates. The niobium-bearing zone is around 45–180 meters wide in a north-south direction and around 750 meters long in an east-west direction. The deepest drill holes to date indicate that it has a vertical extent of at least 750 meters. The content of niobium (V) oxide in the rock fluctuates between 0.44 and 0.51 percent; mining takes place at a depth of 100–440 meters. In the mine, the ore is extracted in extraction chambers that are around 60 meters long and 25 meters wide. The Niobec mine is the world's third largest producer of niobium. In 2012 the yield was 4700 tons. The return on sales was US $ 15 per kilogram and the mine is estimated to be in existence for 46 years.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2012)	Content of niobium (V) oxide per ton	Tons of niobium (V) oxide
Proven reserves	422,900 million tons	4.2 kilograms	1.768 million
Estimated reserves	635.789 million tons	4.1 kilograms	2.563 million
Other suspected reserves	83.763 million tons	3.1 kilograms	0.263 million

Former mining areas

Doyon Division Mines

Processing plants in Doyon

Doyon Division consisted of the mines at Doyon ( 48 ° 15 ′ 3 ″ N, 78 ° 26 ′ 34 ″ W ) and Mouska ( 48 ° 15 ′ 25 ″ N, 78 ° 31 ′ 37 ″ W ) in northwest Quebec about 80 Kilometers west of Val-d'Or . The deposit became the property of Silverstack Mines Company Ltd. in 1972 . and the state-owned Soquem Inc. via; these carried out explorations between 1972 and 1975. In 1975 Lac Minerals Ltd. the shares of Silverstack. At the Doyon mine, open-cast mining began in 1980; the transition to underground mining was completed in 1989. Cambior Inc. bought the Mouska mine and 50 percent of the Doyon mine in 1986 as part of the privatization of Soquem Inc., the remaining shares were added in 1998. In Mouska, underground explorations began in October 1987, and commercial mining began in July 1991. Doyon Division was acquired by Iamgold in November 2006 as part of the acquisition of Cambior . The Doyon Mine was closed in December 2009. During the 29 years that it was in operation, a good five million troy ounces of gold were produced. In the summer of 2012, mining also stopped at the Mouska mine, and most of the workers moved to nearby Westwood, where mining is scheduled to begin in 2013.

The Doyon Division deposit is located in the southern portion of the neo-archaic Abitibi greenstone belt, also known as the Cadillac-Bousquet gold belt, part of the Blake River Megacaldera Complex, a 2.8 to 2.6 billion year old area of ​​overlying calderas . The Cadillac-Bousquet gold belt contains some of the most productive gold deposits in Québec in a tectonic zone of weakness called the Doyon-Dumagami Deformation Zone. The gold mineralization is bound to multi-phase crystallized veins . The paragenesis of the veins consists of quartz (in different varieties) , chalcopyrite , pyrite , carbonate and gold. The Mouska mine mines gange ores, which penetrate plutonitic and volcanic rocks and consist mainly of basalt and andesite . The gold mining took place in quartz veins with a maximum width of one meter, each containing 5-10 percent chalcopyrite and pyrite- pyrrhotite . The annual production of the Mouska mine in 2011 was 24,000 troy ounces, the production costs were 1,076 US dollars per ounce.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2011)	Gold content per ton	Troy ounces
Proven reserves	0.163 million tons	12.4 grams	065,000
Estimated reserves	1.3 million tons	05.8 grams	240,000
Other suspected reserves	1.597 million tons	05.7 grams	291,000

Sleeping Giant Mine

The Sleeping Giant Mine ( 49 ° 7 ′ 57 ″ N, 77 ° 58 ′ 30 ″ W ) is located in northwest Québec, 80 kilometers north of Amos . Cambior Inc. bought 50 percent of the shares in the area in 1992 and the other half was added in 2005. The mine has a shaft 1060 meters deep; the gold is bound to ore-bearing veins, some of which still contain reserves in deep layers. In 2007, the Sleeping Giant mine produced 67,000 troy ounces of gold at a cost of production of $ 358 per ounce. In 2008 the mine was closed due to depleted reserves and sold to Cadiscor Resources .

Mupane mine

Open pit mining of the Mupane mine

In the east of Botswana is the Mupane mine ( 21 ° 21 ′ 55 ″ S, 27 ° 42 ′ 3 ″ E ), around 30 kilometers east of Francistown on the border with Zimbabwe . The opencast mines are located in the Tati area, where Karl Mauch was the first European to find gold in 1866. The gold was mined in small mines until 1963, after which several companies carried out further explorations. Gallery Gold Botswana discovered an anomaly in the Mupanipani Hills in 1998 ; Excavations showed that it was a gold mineralization in heavily silicified and iron-rich chert . The establishment of the infrastructure began in 2003 and was completed in October 2004; the first gold bars were produced in November. Iamgold acquired Gallery Gold in March 2006 and sold the Mupane mine to the Canadian company Galane Gold in 2011 .

The deposit is located in the archaic Tati greenstone belt, in an area with outcrops of silicon and graphite iron formations, conglomerates, marbles, metapelites , para and ortho-amphibolites. The gold mineralization is bound to the chert rocks along with arsenopyrite , pyrrhotite , silicates and, more rarely, magnetite . The largest open pit mine, Tau, has an east-west extension of 300 meters and consists of two iron formations that unite at a depth of 80 to 140 meters. The rock is mined to a depth of 250 meters, the thickness of the ore-bearing zone varies between ten and 40 meters. In 2009, the Mupane mine produced 51,000 troy ounces of gold at a cost of production of $ 735 per ounce.

Tarkwa mine

Aerial view of the Tarkwa mine

The Tarkwa Mine ( 5 ° 17 ′ 22 ″ N, 2 ° 2 ′ 3 ″ W ) is located in southwest Ghana, in the Ashanti region four kilometers east of Tarkwa . Gold has been mined in the area since the beginning of the 19th century; the old Tarkwa mine was expanded in the 1970s and last expanded in 2000. The open pit mine has been operated by Gold Fields since 1993. Iamgold acquired 18.9 percent of the mine through the acquisition of Repadre Capital in 2003. In 1998 14.5 million tons of rock were mined annually, after the expansion in 2000 it was 36 million tons of rock annually. The processing facilities were expanded in 2009, and in 2011 Iamgold sold its shares in the Tarkwa mine to Gold Fields .

The deposit belongs to the Tarkwa Group in the southern part of the Paleoproterozoic Ashanti Belt. The rock consists of quartzites, which are criss-crossed by quartz gravel conglomerates. The gold mineralization, which occurs partly as an electron and together with copper, is bound to the conglomerate layers. The silver content varies between three and seven percent. The gold was mined in six open-cast mines in 2009, and future underground mining would be possible. The dismantling is to continue until 2023. Gold production in 2009 was 125,000 troy ounces of gold and production costs were $ 513 per ounce.

Type of reserves	Quantity (2009)	Gold content per ton	Troy ounces
Proven reserves	51.03 million tons	1.2 grams	2.018 million
Estimated reserves	61.009 million tons	1.3 grams	2.573 million
Other suspected reserves	04.914 million tons	3.1 grams	0.486 million

Damang mine

Open pit mine at the Damang mine

The Damang Mine is located 30 kilometers northeast of the Tarkwa Mine and 40 kilometers north of Tarkwa ( 5 ° 30 ′ 53 "N, 1 ° 50 ′ 28" W ). The nearby Abosso mine produced a total of 2.7 million troy ounces of gold between 1882 and 1956. The company Ranger Exploration sought early 1990s in the area of the old mine other deposits and found in a northeasterly direction, a roughly three-kilometer ore-bearing zone at shallow depths. This deposit was estimated after further investigations in 1996 at three million troy ounces of gold, the mining in the open pit should be profitable up to a depth of 200 meters. Production began in August 1997, and Iamgold has owned 18.9 percent of the Damang mine since 2003. Together with the Tarkwa mine, it was sold to Gold Fields in 2011 .

The Damang Mine is located in paleoproterozoic rocks of the Tarkwa Group in the southern part of the Ashanti Belt. Gold mineralization is tied to two different types of rock. On the one hand, a conglomerate forms the host rock in which the gold occurs in solid form together with fine-grain, dendritic and authigenic hematite and magnetite. About 20 percent of the gold deposits are located there. The far greater part of the gold is found in mesothermal quartz veins and faults in the rock healed with quartz , in paragenesis with sericite , pyrite, chlorite , pyrrhotite , biotite and calcite. The open pit mine should be in operation until 2020, the gold production of the Damang mine in 2009 was 38,000 troy ounces of gold; the cost of production was $ 619 an ounce.

More deposits

Of the four developed areas, Camp Caiman in French Guiana , Westwood in Québec ^[obsolete] (opened in 2013) and Côté Lake in Ontario are potential gold mining areas, while the Rare Earth Element Project in Québec is looking for rare earth metals . In addition to the areas that are being prepared for mining, Iamgold is examining areas in Guyana, Brazil, the Andes and West Africa for gold deposits.

Camp Caiman

Camp Caiman area

Camp Caiman ( 4 ° 33 ′ 57 ″ N, 52 ° 12 ′ 56 ″ W ) is about 45 kilometers southeast of Cayenne , the capital of French Guiana. The deposit was discovered in the course of investigations by the Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières for the Ministry of Industry between 1975 and 1995. In 1994 ASARCO bought the area at auction and explored it between 1996 and 1999; two minable gold deposits were found. The first feasibility study was completed in 1999, the second in 2003. In the same year Cambior Inc. took over the project and carried out additional test drilling, in 2006 Iamgold bought Cambior Inc. and with it the Camp Caiman project . Due to a moratorium on all mining and exploration activities, the French-Guyanese government refused in 2008 to grant the mining permit for the open pit; since 2009 Iamgold has been trying to obtain it through legal action.

The geology in Camp Caiman consists mainly of three rock formations lying one above the other. The lowest is formed from rocks of the Paramaca Formation and consists of mafic volcanic rocks. Furthermore were pelites and graywackes deposited Armina the formation. The hanging wall belongs to the Orapu Formation and consists of a conglomerate of sandstones and quartz gravel. The gold mineralization is mainly in sedimentary layers of the Armina Formation, in a saddle sloping slightly to the southwest. This is severed several times by up to 40 meter wide dolerite corridors. When it is commissioned, Camp Caiman is expected to be active for seven years and produce 125,000 troy ounces of gold per year at a production cost of US $ 320 per ounce.

Westwood

Construction of the shaft systems

The Westwood Project ( 48 ° 15 ′ 5 ″ N, 78 ° 25 ′ 6 ″ W ) is located in Québec, approximately 2.5 kilometers east of the Doyon Mine. In this area, O'Leary Malartic GM Ltd. Mined, the Mic-Mac mine produced a total of 107,000 troy ounces of gold and 3,617 tons of copper between 1942 and 1947 . In the course of exploring the Doyon Mine, the Westwood-Warrenmac area was also explored, the Westwood deposit was discovered in 2002 and explored until 2007. The mine is scheduled to go into commercial operation in 2013 ^[obsolete] .

Like the Doyon Mine, Westwood is part of the Cadillac-Bousquet gold belt and the deposit is located in archaic volcanic and intrusive rocks. The mining area can be divided into three main surface-to-depth mineral zones. In the two more northerly the gold deposits are bound to ore veins with a quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite paragenesis in altered , volcanic rock. The southernmost zone consists of gold-rich pyrite-sphalerite veins, locally concentrated massive sulfide bands (up to 20 centimeters thick) and smaller gold-bearing sulfide-rich quartz veins. Once commissioned, the mine is expected to produce 186,000 troy ounces of gold per year at a cost of $ 358 an ounce. The dismantling time is estimated at 16 years.

Côté gold

Deposit and surrounding landscape

Côté Gold ( 47 ° 33 ′ 16 ″ N, 81 ° 55 ′ 41 ″ W ) is located approximately 130 kilometers southwest of Timmins in the province of Ontario . The deposit is located in the hanging wall of the rocks of the Swayze greenstone belt, the southwestern extension of the Abitibi greenstone belt, which is composed of calcareous-alkaline and pyroclastic metavolcanites of acidic to intermediate chemism, intrusive rocks such as tonalite , trondhjemite , granitodiorite and migmatite and diorite . The intrusive rock contains gold-copper mineralization in low to medium concentrations. The extent of the deposit has so far been measured to be 1.2 kilometers long, 100-300 meters wide and more than 500 meters deep, but it goes even deeper. According to investigations in 2012, the deposit on Lake Côté contains a good eight million troy ounces of gold, which can be mined in 2017 at the earliest.

Rare Earth Element Project

The Rare Earth Element Project ( 48 ° 32 ′ 29 ″ N, 71 ° 9 ′ 10 ″ W ) is located one kilometer north of the Niobec Mine in Québec. Rare earth metals are stored there ; the deposit is currently still in the exploration phase. The area belongs to the Saint Honoré carbonatite; The ore deposit is mainly bound to rocks rich in feldspar, feldspar-bearing syenites and dolomites, which are characterized by the occurrence of pyrochlore , magnetite, biotite, apatite and calcite. The first samples were taken in 1985, and in 2011 and 2012, boreholes were carried out to a maximum depth of 750 meters to determine the content of the various metals. About 91 percent make up cerium , lanthanum and neodymium , the rest another six elements. The entire deposit was estimated in 2012 to have a volume of 466.8 million tons of rock with a total content of 1.65 percent rare earth metals.

criticism

Companies

Iamgold's activities in West Africa, especially in Ghana, have repeatedly been criticized for environmental degradation and displacement of the local population. At the Tarkwa mine in Ghana, the local police helped the mine operators when farmers refused to leave their soil. In total, at least 20,000 people were forcibly relocated for mining. In December 1999, several people were shot and wounded by police during demonstrations against the dismissal of 1,000 mine workers. At the Sadiola mine in Mali, gold mining has led to poor living conditions for the population. People who used to work in small mines or in agriculture became unemployed when their land was taken over for mining, the limited local infrastructure is overwhelmed by the population growth. Iamgold and Anglogold Ashanti refuse to pay compensation in some cases , for example if they destroy cultivated fields by building roads or if animals are poisoned by leaked cyanide liquor. The Quimsacocha deposit in Ecuador is located in the Páramo . The local population suspects that their drinking water supply is being irreparably affected by mining. In 2008, the Constituent Assembly of Ecuador banned large-scale mining across the country, but the ban was lifted after meetings with several Canadian mining companies (including Iamgold). The affected communities have spoken out against gold mining several times in local referendums and want to take action against the mining plans. The ongoing protests and sluggish negotiations were the reason for the sale to INV Metals . In 2012, Iamgold was criticized for working with the Canadian state development aid organization Canadian International Development Agency . They paid 7.5 million Canadian dollars for development aid in Burkina Faso, with which the social projects otherwise financed by the company were subsidized with taxpayers' money.

founder

Before founding Iamgold, Mark Nathanson and William Pugliese were involved in sometimes dubious business. Nathanson was born in Australia and moved to England in the 1970s . He started getting Dr. To name Mark Nathanson without having a PhD . In 1981, Nathanson founded Zentraco International SA , the company sold communications and security technology such as signals intelligence equipment to countries in the Far East and Africa . His clients included Nigeria at the time of the dictator Ibrahim Babangida . William Pugliese is a Canadian businessman who ran several Yellow Pages- like business directory companies. They sent payment requests that resembled yellow page bills to companies. When transferring the requested amount, they assumed that they had bought an entry in the yellow pages. Instead, they were included on Pugliese's relatively unknown company lists. In 1978, after a United States Postal Service lawsuit, Pugliese was convicted of sending misleading notices and had to sign a cease and desist letter. In 1986, the United States Postal Service found Pugliese had violated the statement and forced him to sign another. In 1992, Industry Canada sued one of Puglieses companies for misleading advertising ; however, since the requests were not bills and contained a disclaimer , this business practice was legal.
