MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2020
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” or the “Company”), dated May 4, 2020, is intended to supplement and complement the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes ("consolidated interim financial statements") thereto as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with IAMGOLD's audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes for December 31, 2019 and the related MD&A included in the 2019 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 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 "Upcoming Growth Catalysts", “Outlook”, "Market Trends", “Quarterly Updates” and "Exploration", and include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the Company’s guidance for production, cost of sales, 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", “guidance”, “outlook”, “potential”, “seek”, “targets”, “strategy”, "superior" 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 and, as such, undue reliance must not be placed on them. 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. Forward-looking statements are in no way 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, including geotechnical difficulties and seismicity; laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment; employee relations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour, negotiations with respect to new, reasonable collective labour agreements may not be successful which could lead to a strike or work stoppage in the future, and any such strike or work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings and financial condition; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; illegal mining; adverse changes in the Company’s credit rating; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; the ability to deliver gold as required under forward gold sale arrangements; the rights of counterparties to terminate forward gold sale arrangements in certain circumstances, the inability to participate in any gold price increase above the cap in any collar transaction entered into in conjunction with a forward gold sale arrangement, such as the collar entered into in conjunction with the gold sold forward in January of 2019; the potential direct or indirect operational impacts resulting from infectious diseases or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 outbreak; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. The Company is also subject to litigation and legal and political risks. Risks and unknowns inherent in IAMGOLD's operations and projects include the inaccuracy of estimated reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs, and the future price of gold. Exploration and 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 continued development or operation of a project.
For a comprehensive discussion of the risks faced by the Company, and which may cause the actual financial results, operating performance or achievements of IAMGOLD to be materially different from the Company’s estimated future results, operating 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 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.

FIRST QUARTER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS
 
 
 
 
 
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Attributable gold production from continuing operations was 170,000 ounces, down 3,000 ounces from the same prior year period, and down 9,000 ounces from the fourth quarter 2019. Production at the end of the quarter was impacted by the Company's COVID-19 response, including the self-confinement of Essakane and Rosebel, and the placement of Westwood on care and maintenance following provincial directives.
Attributable gold sales from continuing operations were 159,000 ounces, down 19,000 ounces from the same prior year period, and down 25,000 ounces from the fourth quarter 2019. Gold sales were lower at Essakane, reflecting the postponement of sales at the quarter-end due to the global COVID-19 crisis, while Westwood was impacted by being placed on care and maintenance in response to provincial directives.
Cost of sales2 from continuing operations was $1,054 per ounce, up 10% from the same prior year period, and up 16% from the fourth quarter 2019.
All-in sustaining costs3 from continuing operations were $1,230 per ounce, up 12% from the same prior year period, and up 5% from the fourth quarter 2019.
Total cash costs3 from continuing operations were $993 per ounce, up 12% from the same prior year period, and up 5% from the fourth quarter 2019.

Gold margin1 from continuing operations was $610 per ounce, up $190 per ounce from the same prior year period, and up $74 per ounce from the fourth quarter 2019.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues were $274.5 million, up $23.5 million from the same prior year period, and down $18.9 million from the fourth quarter 2019, reflecting an average realized gold price of $1,603 per ounce sold.
Gross profit was $31.9 million, up $32.8 million from the same prior year period, and down $9.2 million from the fourth quarter 2019.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders was $34.4 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $40.7 million, or $0.09 per share in the same prior year period, and compared to net loss from continuing operations of $303.8 million, or $0.65 per share in the fourth quarter 2019. The net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders for the first quarter 2020 was primarily due to losses on the embedded derivatives related to the Rosebel power purchase agreement and the Senior Notes.
Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders1 was $4.9 million, or $0.01 per share1, compared to adjusted net loss from continuing operations1 of $6.9 million, or $0.01 per share1 in the same prior year period, and compared to adjusted net earnings from continuing operations1 of $3.8 million, or $0.01 per share1 in the fourth quarter 2019.
Net cash from operating activities was $44.0 million, up $35.2 million from the same prior year period, and down $218.5 million from the fourth quarter 2019.
Net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital1 was $72.8 million, up $39.0 million from the same prior year period, and down $153.4 million from the fourth quarter 2019.
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled $829.8 million at March 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents were $795.0 million, short-term investments were $7.2 million and restricted cash was $27.6 million. $499.6 million was available under the credit facility.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
Global COVID-19 Crisis
In response to the global COVID-19 crisis, the Company immediately activated appropriate committees at its various offices and operations world-wide to ensure a coordinated response encompassing operations, projects, exploration, and corporate offices. This enabled the timely assessment and implementation of protocols to mitigate risk to employees, contractors and local communities, including protocols aimed at complying with government-imposed restrictions and reducing the impact of supply chain disruptions. The impact of the crisis on the Company’s business was not significant in the first quarter of 2020. Although precautionary self-confinement measures were taken at Essakane and Rosebel in late March, production continued uninterrupted. Six days of care and maintenance at Westwood in the quarter had a limited impact on production. The continuing global COVID-19 crisis is expected to continue to affect the Company’s operations, including incremental costs and productivity impacts due to measures in place and new protocols implemented. While the precise impact continues to evolve, the impact could be significant in future periods, affecting the Company’s guidance for future years. For 2020, primarily due to the crisis, the Company has lowered its total attributable gold production and capital expenditure guidance and revised upwards its cost of sales per ounce sold, total cash costs1 per ounce produced, and all-in sustaining costs1 per ounce sold guidance. In response to the global COVID-19 crisis, the Company has taken extensive steps to protect the health and safety of employees, contractors and local communities. This included training on new procedures and sanitary measures, adjusted work schedules and transport, and physical distancing and protective equipment. In addition, the number of sleeping quarters and handwashing stations at the mine sites was increased, temperature checks are performed and equipment is cleaned frequently. The Company is working closely with both host communities and local governments to safeguard vulnerable communities against COVID-19 through food security, medical equipment donations and contributions to COVID-19 relief programs. The Company is reviewing various Federal and Provincial COVID-19 related support programs to determine eligibility and impact.
Organizational Changes
P. Gordon Stothart was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and joined the Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2020.
Bruno Lemelin was appointed to the role of Senior Vice President, Operations & Projects, with oversight of all operational and project development activities across the Company.
Oumar Toguyeni was appointed to the role of Senior Vice President, International Affairs & Sustainability, with the primary objective of managing the Company's relationships with governments and other stakeholders in West Africa and South America.
Financial
The Company lowered its total attributable gold production guidance to the range of 685,000 to 740,000 ounces, lowered its capital expenditure guidance to $345 million (±5%), revised upwards its cost of sales per ounce sold guidance to the range of $955 to $995, revised upwards its total cash costs1 per ounce produced guidance to the range of $920 to $960, and revised upwards its all-in sustaining costs1 per ounce sold guidance to the range of $1,195 to $1,245 primarily due to the impact of the global COVID-19 crisis.

On February 26, 2020, the Company further amended its $500 million credit facility with a maturity date of January 31, 2023. These amendments included, among other things, extending $447 million of credit available under the credit facility agreement to a maturity date of January 31, 2024.
The Company acted on its financial risk mitigation strategies by executing currency hedges and fuel hedges due to favourable market conditions relative to internal planning rates.
Exploration
The Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for the Pitangui Project in Brazil, comprising 3.33 million tonnes of indicated resources grading 4.39 g/t Au for 470,000 ounces and 3.56 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 3.78 g/t Au for 433,000 ounces.
Development and Operations
Mining activities continued at Saramacca with the construction of mine site facilities, water management infrastructure, site roads and the preparation of waste dumps. The delivery and commissioning of the hauling fleet and mining equipment also continued during the quarter. Construction of the haul road progressed with the road connection completed in the first quarter 2020 and ore from Saramacca was delivered to the Rosebel mill using the substantially completed haul road.
The Company continued to de-risk the Côté Gold Project, approaching 60% completion of the detailed project engineering as at March 31, 2020.
The Company announced that the Government of the Republic of Senegal approved the mining permit application for the Boto Gold Project for an initial 20-year period. The receipt of the mining permit positions the Project for a development decision and eventual production.
The Company's Westwood Gold Mine in Canada was placed on care and maintenance on March 25, 2020, along with other mining companies province-wide, as directed by the Government of Quebec in response to the global COVID-19 crisis as mining was considered a non-essential business. Subsequently, on April 15, 2020, Westwood commenced the restart of operations from care and maintenance following the April 13, 2020 confirmation from the Government of Quebec that mining is an essential business.
The Rosebel mine in Suriname and the Essakane mine in Burkina Faso were moved into self-confinement on March 22, 2020 and March 24, 2020, respectively, to better protect employees and communities, and to support the continuity of these operations. The Government of Burkina Faso subsequently imposed a curfew and limited movement in the country by placing a number of locations, including Ouagadougou and Essakane under administrative quarantine. Although the Essakane mine was placed under administrative quarantine on April 8, 2020, production has continued uninterrupted.
Subsequent to the Quarter
On April 22, 2020, Rosebel Gold Mines N.V. ("Rosebel") signed an Unincorporated Joint Venture (“UJV”) agreement with Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”) relating to the concession areas within the UJV Area of Interest, which includes Saramacca. The UJV excludes the existing gross Rosebel mining concession, which is 95% owned by Rosebel and 5% owned by the Republic of Suriname. Rosebel holds a 70% participating interest and Staatsolie holds a 30% participating interest in the UJV on behalf of the Republic of Suriname. Staatsolie has paid Rosebel an initial amount of $34.0 million toward an aggregate owing of $54.9 million for all operating and capital expenses related to the Saramacca Project. The remaining amount will be paid out of Staatsolie’s gold entitlement.
UPCOMING GROWTH CATALYSTS
The Company continues the strategic review of its growth projects: Côté Gold and Boto Gold. The Company is well positioned for growth, with a strong reserve and resource base, robust balance sheet and skilled workforce.
The Company expects to complete an updated life of mine plan for Westwood and accompanying National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, by mid-year 2020. The report is expected to outline the details of a safe, profitable and long life mine plan.
The Company continues to advance various ongoing and planned delineation and resource evaluation drilling programs at selected projects including the Nelligan Gold, Monster Lake and the Rouyn Gold Projects in Quebec, the Gosselin discovery on the Côté Gold property in Ontario, and the Karita Gold discovery in Guinea.
FIRST QUARTER 2020 SUMMARY
 
 
 
 
 
FINANCIAL
Revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 were $274.5 million up $23.5 million or 9% from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a higher realized gold price ($50.3 million) and higher sales volume at Westwood ($4.5 million), partially offset by lower sales volume at Essakane ($25.8 million) and Rosebel ($6.2 million).
Cost of sales from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 was $242.6 million, down $9.3 million or 4% from the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating costs and depreciation expense partially offset by higher royalty expense as a result of an increase in the gold price. Operating costs were lower primarily due to higher capitalized stripping due to pushbacks at Essakane and Rosebel, a build of finished goods at Essakane, reflecting the postponement of gold sales at the quarter-end due to the global COVID-19 crisis, partially offset by a drawdown of lower grade ore stockpiles to supplement ore feed at Rosebel.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
FIRST QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – MARCH 31, 2020
PAGE 4




Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 was $63.4 million, down $5.2 million or 8% from the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower depreciation at Westwood resulting from the impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter 2019.
Income tax expense for the first quarter 2020 was $3.6 million, up $2.2 million from the same prior year period. Income tax expense for the first quarter 2020 comprised current income tax expense of $8.9 million (March 31, 2019 - $9.7 million) and deferred income tax recovery of $5.3 million (March 31, 2019 - recovery of $8.3 million). The increase in income tax expense was due to a lower deferred tax recovery primarily due to changes to deferred income tax assets and liabilities, differences in the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange, and differences in the level of taxable income in the Company’s operating jurisdictions from one period to the next.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders for the first quarter 2020 was $34.4 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to net loss of $40.7 million, or $0.09 per share in the same prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to higher gross profit ($32.8 million) and lower other expenses ($19.1 million), partially offset by lower interest income, derivatives and other investment gains (losses) ($35.6 million) primarily due to losses on the embedded derivatives related to the Rosebel power purchase agreement and the Senior Notes.
Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders1 was $4.9 million, or $0.01 per share1, compared to adjusted net loss from continuing operations1 of $6.9 million, or $0.01 per share1 in the same prior year period.
Net cash from operating activities for the first quarter 2020 was $44.0 million, up $35.2 million from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings after non-cash adjustments ($35.3 million).
Net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital1 for the first quarter 2020 was $72.8 million, up $39.0 million from the same prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $829.8 million at March 31, 2020, down $35.0 million from December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to spending on property, plant and equipment ($67.5 million), partially offset by cash generated from operating activities ($44.0 million).
OPERATIONS
The DART rate2, representing the frequency of all types of serious injuries across all sites and functional areas for the first quarter 2020 was 0.65, above the Company's target of 0.57. The Company continues the implementation of several initiatives, including a behaviour-based safety program, to ensure a safer work environment.
In response to the global COVID-19 crisis, the Company has taken extensive steps to protect the health and safety of employees and contractors. This included training on new procedures and sanitary measures, adjusted work schedules and transport, and physical distancing and protective equipment. In addition, the number of sleeping quarters and handwashing stations at the mine sites was increased, temperature checks are performed and equipment is cleaned frequently.
Attributable gold production from continuing operations was 170,000 ounces for the first quarter 2020, down 3,000 ounces from the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower grades at Essakane as a result of mine sequencing (6,000 ounces), lower throughput at Rosebel as ore feed was supplemented from lower grade ore stockpiles and higher grade mill pebbles as mining activity focused on achieving strategic pushbacks (4,000 ounces), partially offset by increased throughput at Westwood due to the ramp up of mining activity compared to the reduced activity resulting from increased seismicity in the fourth quarter 2018 (7,000 ounces).
Attributable gold sales from continuing operations were 159,000 ounces for the first quarter 2020, down 19,000 ounces from the same prior year period. The decrease was due to lower sales at Essakane (18,000 ounces) and Rosebel (4,000 ounces) partially offset by higher sales at Westwood (3,000 ounces).
Cost of sales3 per ounce from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 was $1,054, up 10% from the same prior year period primarily due to lower sales volume and higher royalties as a result of an increase in the gold price.
Total cash costs1 per ounce produced from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 were $993, up 12% from the same prior year period primarily due to lower production volume and higher royalties as a result of an increase in the gold price.
All-in sustaining costs1 per ounce sold from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 were $1,230, up 12% from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher cost of sales per ounce, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures.
While there was no impact on total cash costs1 and all-in sustaining costs1 from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020, the first quarter 2019 included a reduction of $61 per ounce produced and $60 per ounce sold, respectively, for the normalization of costs due to abnormally low production at Westwood.
Included in total cash costs1 and all-in sustaining costs1 from continuing operations for the first quarter 2020 were realized derivative losses from hedging programs of $9 per ounce produced and $12 per ounce sold, respectively (2019 - $2 gain and $2 gain).

GOLD PRODUCTION, COST OF SALES, TOTAL CASH COSTS AND ALL-IN SUSTAINING COSTS
The Company lowered its 2020 total attributable gold production guidance to the range of 685,000 to 740,000 ounces from 700,000 to 760,000 ounces primarily due to the impact of the global COVID-19 crisis at Essakane and Westwood.
The Company is expected to incur incremental costs including charter flights for gold shipments, increased number of sleeping quarters, adjusted work schedules and transport, expediting key supplies, additional security and screening measures, and personal protective equipment to protect the Company's workforce. Higher royalty expenses are expected due to the higher gold price expected in the year.
The Company revised upwards its 2020 cost of sales per ounce sold guidance to the range of $955 to $995 from $900 to $950 primarily due to the global COVID-19 crisis resulting in lower sales volume relative to the initial guidance.
The Company revised upwards its 2020 total cash costs1 per ounce produced guidance to the range of $920 to $960 from $840 to $890 primarily due to the global COVID-19 crisis resulting in lower production volume relative to the initial guidance.
The Company revised upwards its 2020 all-in sustaining costs1 per ounce sold guidance to the range of $1,195 to $1,245 from $1,100 to $1,150 primarily due to the global COVID-19 crisis resulting in a decrease in sales volume.
DEPRECIATION EXPENSE
Depreciation expense in 2020 is expected to be in the range of $250 million to $260 million, down $10 million from the previous guidance.
INCOME TAXES
The Company expects to pay cash taxes in the range of $30 million to $45 million in 2020. The Company is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions, at various tax rates. However, the consolidated effective tax rate for the Company is subject to significant fluctuations period over period due to: expenditures and revenues recognized only for financial accounting purposes or only for income tax purposes; income tax unrelated to the income or loss before taxes for the current period, such as withholding taxes; and adjustments for deferred tax purposes that are not directly related to the income or loss before taxes for the current period, such as foreign exchange rate changes. In addition, adjustments to deferred income tax assets and/or liabilities may be recorded during the year.

Sustaining capital includes capitalized stripping of $15 million for Rosebel.
2
Non-sustaining capital includes capitalized stripping of $65 million for Essakane (previously $80 million) and $30 million for Rosebel (previously $35 million).
3
Includes $16 million of capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditures (previously $11 million). Refer to the Exploration section of this MD&A.
4
Capitalized borrowing costs are not included.
5
In addition to the above capital expenditures, $20 million in total principal lease payments are expected.
The Company reduced its 2020 capital expenditure guidance by $25 million to $345 million (±5%). Non-sustaining capital expenditures decreased by $30 million and sustaining capital expenditures increased by $5 million compared to the previous guidance. The $30 million decrease in non-sustaining capital expenditures was primarily due to a reduction in capitalized stripping ($10 million) and timing of spend on other projects ($5 million) at Essakane, timing of spend on the Saramacca Project ($5 million), and lower development at Westwood ($10 million), partially offset by higher expected capital expenditures to continue progressing the Early Works program at the Côté Gold Project ($10 million).
OUTLOOK FOR 2021
Although guidance for 2021 remains unchanged at this time, it is under review given the current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and the effect it may have on the Company’s operations. The Company expects 2021 attributable gold production to be in the range of 760,000 to 840,000 ounces, approximately 12% higher than the expected 2020 production levels. Capital expenditures, not inclusive of development projects, are expected to be approximately $250 million with the expected completion of the development of Saramacca in 2020 and lower capitalized stripping compared to 2020.

MARKET TRENDS 
 
 
 
 
 
GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The market price of gold closed at $1,609 per ounce at the end of the first quarter 2020. This represented an appreciation of approximately 24% from a year ago. During the first quarter 2020, gold rallied above $1,700 per ounce for the first time since 2012. Markets experienced uncharacteristic turbulence in the quarter as the global COVID-19 crisis caused broad disruption to the global economy. Though there were moments in the quarter where gold was sold off along with most other assets classes as markets initially diversified towards liquid assets such as cash, gold generally held firm. The price of gold is a key driver of the Company’s profitability.

CURRENCY AND OIL PRICE
The U.S. dollar is the Company’s functional currency. The Company's revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars as gold is priced in U.S. dollars. The Company’s main exposures are to the Canadian dollar and oil prices, which have a direct impact on the Company’s Canadian and international mining activities and operations.
The Canadian dollar depreciated approximately 9% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter. The sudden slowdown in global economic activity toward the end of the quarter, coupled with a broad disruption in financial markets, gave the U.S. dollar its safe-haven lift.
The Company has minimal exposure for euro denominated operational and capital expenditures in West Africa as it sells a portion of its gold in euros
The Company is forecasting foreign exchange cash flows of approximately C$220 million for the remainder of 2020. These exposures relate to operational and capital expenditures in Canada. The Company’s hedging strategy is designed to mitigate the risk of exposure to exchange rate volatility of the Canadian dollar. Refer to Financial condition - Market risk section for more information.
The price of Brent depreciated approximately 65%, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell approximately 67% in the first quarter 2020. A couple of factors contributed to the destabilizing market conditions for crude oil. An abundance of oil supply in a setting where economic activity has slowed dramatically as a result of the global COVID-19 crisis, is one of the contributing factors. The disagreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia over production quotas and their subsequent decision to flood the market with more oil, was also a significant factor driving the price down at such an unprecedented pace in the first quarter 2020.
The Company expects its fuel consumption for the remainder of 2020 to be the equivalent of approximately 1.0 million barrels of oil for its mining operations in West Africa and South America. The Company’s hedging strategy is designed to mitigate the risk of oil price appreciation given it is a significant input cost in the production of gold. Refer to Financial condition - Market risk section for more information.

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, as disclosed in note 30 of the Company's consolidated interim financial statements is on an attributable ounce sold basis (excluding the 10% non-controlling interest).
Attributable gold production for the first quarter 2020 was lower by 7% compared to the same prior year period as ore feed was sourced from lower grade zones due to mine sequencing. Gold sales for the first quarter 2020 were lower by 19%, reflecting the postponement of gold sales at the quarter-end due to the global COVID-19 crisis.
Material mined in the first quarter 2020 was 30% higher compared to the same prior year period due to increased mining fleet and equipment availability combined with the utilization of contractors. Waste mined for the first quarter 2020 was 33% higher compared to the same prior year period as mining was focused on strategic pushbacks. The mill upgrade continued to progress in the quarter with engineering work being completed, project planning for the installation commenced and preliminary earthwork conducted to build access for the primary screen and the dust scrubber area.
Cost of sales per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 8% compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower sales volume and higher royalties due to higher realized gold prices, partially offset by higher capitalized stripping resulting from strategic pushbacks and the build of low grade Heap Leach material stockpiles.
Total cash costs per ounce produced for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 3% compared to the same prior year period primarily due to lower production and higher royalties, partially offset by the higher capitalized stripping and the stockpile build up as noted above. Included in total cash costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from hedging programs of $9 per ounce produced (2019 - $3 gain).
All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 4% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher cost of sales per ounce, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Included in all-in sustaining costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from hedging programs of $10 per ounce sold (2019 - $3 gain).
Sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter 2020 of $5.6 million included capital spares of $1.9 million, mobile equipment and resource development of $0.4 million each, and various other sustaining capital expenditures of $2.9 million. Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $26.3 million included capitalized stripping of $19.0 million, tailings liners and dams of $4.8 million, mill upgrade of $1.8 million and mobile equipment of $0.7 million.
Outlook
The Company has lowered Essakane's 2020 attributable production guidance to the range of 350,000 to 370,000 ounces from 365,000 to 385,000 ounces reflecting the expected operational impact of measures taken to mitigate any health risks arising from the global COVID-19 crisis. The mine has proactively undertaken several COVID-19 related risk mitigation measures to limit the level of interaction within the workforce so that operations can continue. A lower than optimum capacity is expected in the second quarter. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $120 million, comprising $40 million of sustaining capital

expenditures and $80 million of non-sustaining capital expenditures. The non-sustaining capital expenditures of $80 million reflect a decrease of $20 million primarily due to lower volumes of capitalized stripping and a deferral of spend into 2021.

Attributable gold production for the first quarter 2020 was lower by 6% compared to the same prior year period as ore feed was supplemented from lower grade ore stockpiles and higher grade mill pebbles as the mining activity focused on pushbacks on the Rosebel concession and opening up access to the Saramacca pit. The development of future ore access resulted in lower ore mined compared to the same prior year period. Included in the mill feed were marginal amounts of higher grade ore from the Saramacca deposit.
The carbon-in-column plant continued to perform favourably with 3,000 ounces recovered from tailings in the first quarter 2020, compared to 2,200 ounces in the same prior year period at a marginal operating cost of approximately $35 per ounce to cover additional power and elution costs.
Construction of the haul road progressed with the road connection completed in the first quarter 2020 and ore from Saramacca was delivered to the Rosebel mill using the substantially completed haul road. Mining activities continued at Saramacca in the first quarter 2020 with the construction of mine site facilities, water management infrastructure, site roads and preparation of waste dumps. Construction of the haul road along with site infrastructure are expected to be completed by the second half of 2020. Deliveries and commissioning of the hauling fleet and other mining equipment continued during the first quarter 2020 in anticipation of the ramp up of Saramacca's mining activities.
Cost of sales per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 was higher by 25% compared to the same prior year period. This was primarily due to the reduction in sales volume combined with the drawdown of long term stockpiles to supplement ore feed and increased royalties due to higher realized gold prices, partially offset by increased capitalized stripping.
Total cash costs per ounce produced for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 16% compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the reduction in volume produced and the factors noted above. Included in total cash costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from hedging programs of $9 per ounce produced (2019 - $1 gain).
All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 17% compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher cost of sales per ounce sold partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures. Included in all-in sustaining costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from hedging programs of $9 per ounce sold (2019 - $1 gain).
Sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter 2020 of $6.8 million included capital spares of $3.1 million, resource development of $0.8 million, tailings management of $0.7 million, mill equipment of $0.6 million, building upgrades of $0.4 million and various other sustaining capital expenditures of $1.2 million.

Outlook
The Company has increased Rosebel's attributable production guidance in 2020 to the range of 250,000 to 270,000 ounces from 245,000 to 265,000 ounces reflecting the benefits of positive grade reconciliation on the Rosebel concession, despite the expected operational impact of measures taken to mitigate any health risks arising from the global COVID-19 crisis. To mitigate the impact of the global COVID-19 crisis, the mine has proactively undertaken measures to protect employees as they enter and exit the site, and to lower interaction within the workforce, resulting in lower levels of activity and increased costs expected in the second quarter. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $115 million, comprising $60 million of sustaining capital expenditures and $55 million of non-sustaining capital expenditures. The sustaining capital expenditures of $60 million reflect a $5 million increase to support additional resource development drilling. The non-sustaining capital expenditures of $55 million reflect a decrease of $5 million due to lower volumes of expansionary capitalized stripping in 2020.

Westwood was placed on care and maintenance on March 25, 2020, along with other mining companies province-wide, as directed by the Government of Quebec in response to the global COVID-19 crisis as mining was considered a non-essential business. Subsequently on April 15, 2020, Westwood commenced the restart of operations from care and maintenance following the April 13, 2020 confirmation from the Government of Quebec that mining is an essential business. The restart at Westwood was done in accordance with the standards set by the Government of Quebec, the Public Health Directorate and the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail ("CNESST") to limit the risk of the spread of COVID-19. Ramp-up activities included training employees on new procedures and sanitary measures, adjusted work schedules and transport, and physical distancing and protective equipment.
Gold production for the first quarter 2020 was 47% higher than the same prior year period primarily due to higher throughput as mining activities in the prior year period were adversely affected by increased seismic activity in localized areas in the fourth quarter 2018.
In the first quarter 2020, 109,000 tonnes of ore were mined from the Grand Duc satellite deposit (2019 - nil) at a head grade of 0.92 g/t Au (2019 - nil g/t Au). Head grade, excluding marginal ore and ore mined from Grand Duc for the first quarter 2020 was 5.77 g/t Au (2019 - 5.23 g/t Au).
Underground development continued to progress in the first quarter 2020 to open up access to new mining areas with lateral development of approximately 1,305 metres, averaging 14 metres per day. Development at Westwood continues and is expected to increase with a three to four year ramp up to steady state production levels. An updated life of mine plan for Westwood and accompanying National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report are expected by mid-year 2020.
While there was no impact on total cash costs per ounce produced and all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 related to normalization, the first quarter 2019 included a reduction of $778 per ounce produced and $610 per ounce sold, respectively, for the normalization of costs due to abnormally low production following increased seismic activity in the fourth quarter 2018.

FIRST QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – MARCH 31, 2020
PAGE 13




Cost of sales per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 were lower by 25% compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to higher sales volume partially offset by increased mining and milling costs due to the mining of Grand Duc.
Total cash costs per ounce produced for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 37% compared to the same prior year period as the prior year costs were normalized by $778 per ounce produced and due to increased mining and milling costs from the mining of Grand Duc, partially offset by higher production volume in the first quarter 2020. Included in total cash costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from currency hedging programs of $9 per ounce produced (2019 - $2 gain).
All-in sustaining costs per ounce sold for the first quarter 2020 were higher by 4% compared to the same prior year period as the prior year costs were normalized by $610 per ounce sold partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures and lower cost of sales per ounce. Included in all-in sustaining costs for the first quarter 2020 was the impact of realized derivative losses from currency hedging programs of $10 per ounce sold (2019 - $2 gain).
Sustaining capital expenditures for the first quarter 2020 of $2.4 million included deferred development of $1.7 million, underground construction of $0.3 million and underground equipment of $0.4 million. Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $2.2 million included deferred development of $1.2 million, development drilling of $0.7 million and underground construction of $0.3 million.
Outlook
The Company has lowered Westwood’s production guidance in 2020 to the range of 85,000 to 100,000 ounces from 90,000 to 110,000 ounces reflecting the government-mandated closure in March and April 2020, and the expected operational impact of measures taken to mitigate any health risks arising from the global COVID-19 crisis. Production for the first half of 2020 is expected to be adversely impacted by the care and maintenance shutdown and subsequent time to ramp back up to full capacity. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $40 million, comprising $25 million in sustaining capital expenditures and $15 million in non-sustaining capital expenditures. The decrease of $10 million in non-sustaining capital expenditures reflects a lower volume of deferred development and deferral of non-critical underground construction into 2021.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Mali – Sadiola Mine (IAMGOLD interest – 41%)
On December 20, 2019, the Company, together with its joint venture partner, AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AGA"), entered into an agreement to sell their collective interests in Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola S.A. ("Sadiola") to Allied Gold Corp. for a cash consideration of US$105 million. The transaction remains subject to the fulfillment, or waiver, of a number of conditions precedent, including the receipt of certain approvals and releases from the Government of Mali. In addition, upon the fulfillment or waiver of all conditions precedent to the transaction but immediately prior to closing of the transaction, Sadiola will pay a dividend of $15 million pro rata to its shareholders.
As of December 31, 2019, the Sadiola disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
Mali - Yatela Mine (IAMGOLD interest - 40%)
On February 14, 2019, Sadiola Exploration Limited ("SADEX"), a subsidiary jointly held by the Company and AGA, entered into a share purchase agreement with the Government of Mali, whereby SADEX agreed to sell to the Government of Mali its 80% participation in Société d’Exploitation des Mines d’Or de Yatela ("Yatela"), for a consideration of $1. The transaction remains subject to the fulfillment of a number of conditions precedent, among which the adoption of two laws, confirming the change of status of Yatela to a State Entity, and also the creation of a dedicated state agency, notably in charge of mine rehabilitation and closure. As part of the transaction, and upon its completion, the Company will make a one-time payment of approximately $18.5 million to the said state agency, in an amount corresponding to the estimated costs of completing the rehabilitation and closure of the Yatela mine, and also financing certain outstanding social programs. Upon completion and this payment being made, SADEX and its affiliated companies will be released of all obligations relating to the Yatela mine, including those relating to rehabilitation, mine closure and the financing of social programs.
As of March 31, 2019, the Yatela disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
Together the Sadiola and Yatela disposal groups are considered a separate geographical area of operation and have therefore been presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statement of earnings (loss).
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Côté Gold Project, Canada
The Côté Gold Project is a 70:30 joint venture between the operator IAMGOLD and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd.
As at December 31, 2019, the Côté Gold Project reported (on a 100% basis) proven and probable mineral reserves of 233.0 million tonnes grading 1.0 g/t Au for 7.3 million contained ounces. Measured and indicated resources (inclusive of reserves) totaled 365.5 million tonnes grading 0.9 g/t Au for 10.2 million contained ounces, and inferred resources totaled 189.6 million tonnes grading 0.6 g/t Au for 3.8 million contained ounces (see news release dated February 18, 2020).
During the first quarter 2020, de-risking activities continued at the Côté Gold Project, with project engineering approaching 60% completion. De-risking activities remain within capital expenditure guidance and include detailed engineering of the proposed tailings management facility, updating the resource block model, advancing project permitting, and commencing the first phase of camp construction. In addition, the Company continues to study the potential benefits of incorporating technology, such as mine automation, into the operation. Planned capital expenditures in 2020 to support the activities described above, previously stated at approximately $35 million, have been increased to $45 million to continue progressing the Early Works phase, including site tree clearing, access road development, advancement of the construction camp facilities, and advancing detailed project engineering.

In addition, the Company completed approximately 4,700 metres of diamond drilling during the quarter focused on evaluating the resource potential of the Gosselin Zone.
Boto Gold Project, Senegal
As at December 31, 2019, the Boto Gold Project reported (on a 100% basis) probable mineral reserves of 29.0 million tonnes grading 1.71 g/t Au for 1.6 million contained ounces. Indicated resources (inclusive of reserves) totaled 40.6 million tonnes grading 1.6 g/t Au for 2.0 million contained ounces, and inferred resources totaled 8.2 million tonnes grading 1.8 g/t Au for 469,000 contained ounces (see news releases dated January 13, 2020 and February 18, 2020).
During the first quarter 2020, the Company announced that the Government of the Republic of Senegal approved the exploitation permit application for the Boto Gold Project for an initial period of 20 years. The Government of Senegal has waived its right to a paid-in 25% interest, contingent on the receipt of $7 million payable at the commencement of commercial production; as per the provisions of the mining code, the Republic of Senegal is entitled to a 10% free-carried interest in an operating company. The receipt of the mining permit positions the Project for a development decision and eventual production. The Company also announced the results on various project development and operating optimization studies undertaken since the completion of the 2018 Feasibility Study and filed a supporting National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report. The optimized study contemplates an operation that is expected to produce an average of 160,000 ounces of gold per year during the first six years of operations, averaging 130,000 ounces of gold per year at all-in sustaining costs of $842 per ounce sold over a mine life of approximately 11 years. With expected initial capital expenditures of $271 million, the study suggests an after-tax net present value (using a 6% discount rate) of $219 million, using a gold price assumption of $1,350 per ounce and an IRR of 22.6% (see news releases dated October 22, 2018, January 13, 2020, and February 14, 2020).
During the quarter, the Company started planning for the preliminary phase of construction to support a future project development decision, which includes upgrading the required access and developing site infrastructure, supporting field work, and advancing detailed engineering of the plant. Planned capital expenditures in 2020 to support the activities described above, previously stated at approximately $30 million, were reduced to $25 million.
Exploration efforts during the first quarter focused on infill and delineation drilling aimed at resource conversion. Approximately 3,400 metres of diamond and RC drilling was completed during the first quarter.
EXPLORATION
The Company was active at brownfield and greenfield exploration projects in nine countries located in West Africa and the Americas.
In the first quarter 2020, expenditures for exploration and project studies totaled $10.9 million compared to $13.2 million in the same prior year period, of which $8.4 million was expensed and $2.5 million was capitalized. The Company's accounting policy is to expense exploration costs and capitalize costs of evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource, including those on or adjacent to existing mine sites. The decrease in total exploration expenditures compared to the same prior year period reflects both mild winter conditions experienced at projects in North America as well as the impact of work restrictions and program curtailments experienced across most projects arising from the global COVID-19 crisis in the latter half of the quarter. During the quarter, drilling activities on active projects and mine sites totaled approximately 59,900 metres.

Working capital as at March 31, 2020, was $942.5 million, down $54.5 million compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to lower current assets ($14.7 million) and higher current liabilities ($39.8 million).
Current assets as at March 31, 2020 were $1,248.3 million, down $14.7 million compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash and cash equivalents ($35.6 million), partially offset by higher inventories ($19.3 million).
Current liabilities as at March 31, 2020 were $305.8 million up $39.8 million compared to December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher current portion of derivative liabilities ($25.2 million).

On June 27, 2019, the Company executed a €20.5 million ($23.3 million) loan agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation ("Equipment Loan") with an interest rate of 5.23% per annum. The Equipment Loan, secured by certain mobile equipment at Essakane, matures on June 27, 2024 and is repayable in quarterly installments starting September 27, 2019. The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.3 million which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Equipment Loan within Long-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method. The loan is carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated balance sheets.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Contractual obligations as at March 31, 2020 were $810.0 million, primarily comprising contractual cash flows on long-term debt, purchase obligations, capital expenditure obligations and lease obligations. Management believes these obligations will be met through available cash resources and net cash from operating activities.
The Company also uses derivative contracts to hedge for risk management purposes. Details of these contracts are included in the Market Risk section below - Summary of Hedge Portfolio.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash from operating activities for the first quarter 2020 was $44.0 million, up $35.2 million from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings after non-cash adjustments ($35.3 million).
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter 2020 was $64.1 million, up $31.2 million from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the disposal of short-term investments ($34.3 million) in the first quarter 2019.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter 2020 was $7.3 million, up $5.1 million from the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher payments on lease obligations ($2.4 million) and higher repayments on the equipment loan ($1.1 million).
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 of hedging structures that can be executed. The Company also establishes 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 functional currency is the U.S. dollar which creates currency exchange risk exposure primarily associated with its expenditures denominated in Canadian dollars and euros. To manage this risk, the Company uses various hedging strategies, including selling a portion of its gold in euros to create a natural off-set to the exposure, and derivative contracts such as forwards or options. Option contracts can be combined through the use of put option contracts and call option contracts (collar structure), within a range of expiry dates and strike prices. If, on the expiry dates:
the spot price of the currency is within the strike price range of these executed collar contracts, the options would not be exercised and the Company would purchase the required amount of the currency at the prevailing market price;
the spot price of the currency is above the call strike price of the options purchased, the Company would exercise the call option contracts and purchase the required amount of the currency at prices more favourable than the prevailing market price;

the spot price of the currency is below the put strike price of the options sold, the Company would be obligated to settle the put option contracts and purchase the required amount of the currency at prices less favourable than the prevailing market price.
OIL CONTRACTS AND FUEL MARKET PRICE RISK
Brent and West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) are components of diesel and fuel oil which are among the key inputs impacting the Company’s costs. To manage the risk associated with the fluctuation in the costs of these commodities, the Company uses various hedging strategies, such as the use of call option contracts. Option contracts can also be combined through the use of put option contracts and call option contracts (collar structure), within a range of expiry dates and strike prices. If, on the expiry dates:
the average oil spot price for the month is within the strike price range of these executed collar contracts, the options would not be exercised;
the average oil spot price for the month is above the call strike price of the options purchased, the Company would exercise the call option contracts at prices more favourable than the prevailing market price;
the average oil spot price for the month is below the put strike price of the options sold, the Company would be obligated to settle the put option contracts at prices less favourable than the prevailing market price.

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, 2019 under the supervision of the Company’s Disclosure Committee and with the participation of management. Based on the results of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2019 providing reasonable assurance that 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, 2019 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 consolidated financial statements in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB;
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 that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including an evaluation of material changes that may have materially affected or are reasonably likely to have materially affected the internal controls over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, was conducted as of December 31, 2019 by the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
There have been no material changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could affect internal controls during the first quarter 2020 and their design remains effective.
LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that 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 that 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 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 revenues 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 financial statements are reflected in note 4 of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Qualified Person and Technical information
The technical and scientific information relating to exploration activities 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.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
FIRST QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – MARCH 31, 2020

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 release disclosures either by the Company or the project operator as the case may be (see referenced 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 metres in length and reverse circulation 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.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
 
 
 
 
 
For a discussion of new accounting standards adopted, 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 risks. Identification of key risks occurs in the course of business activities, while pursuing business 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.
The Company is subject to various risks, known and unknown, arising from factors within or outside of its control. This section describes the principal risks and uncertainties that had an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations during the first quarter 2020 and that are reasonably likely to affect them in the future.
GLOBAL COVID-19 CRISIS
The current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of COVID-19 continues to affect the Company’s operations. While the precise impact continues to evolve, the adverse effect on the Company could be significant in future periods and, management continues to assess the impact the global COVID-19 crisis has had and could have on its employees and the communities where the Company operates and all other aspects of its operations.
The Company believes it may be affected by the following risks related to the global COVID-19 crisis:
Operations in affected regions
The Company has been closely monitoring the impact of the global COVID-19 crisis on its operations, development projects and exploration activities. As part of its risk management activities, the Company has formed Crisis Committees comprised of senior management representatives with expertise in health and safety, operations, supply chain, legal, human resources, finance and communications at its operations and corporate offices with overall responsibility for managing COVID-19 response planning and execution.
The Company is committed to Zero Harm in every aspect of its business. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company’s personnel will not be impacted by regional disease outbreaks. As a result of global COVID-19 crisis, the Company could see a decrease in workforce productivity and the Company could incur increased medical costs.
As part of its COVID-19 Response Plan, the Company is focusing on the health and safety of all its employees, contractors and local communities. The Company continues to monitor advice and regulations from the World Health Organization, Canadian and foreign governments in locations where the Company operates, and adjusts measures as appropriate, while also taking into account the concerns of employees and local communities.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
FIRST QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – MARCH 31, 2020
PAGE 22




The Company has taken a number of proactive measures to prevent and/or contain the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure the safety of the employees, contractors, communities and other stakeholders. Extensive preventative measures have already been implemented at the Company’s operations, which include enhanced disinfection protocols, eliminating large group gatherings, enforcing physical distancing, reducing commuter bus occupancy, screening contractors and external visitors, and requiring employees with symptoms to not come to work and to self-isolate. International travel has been limited to essential personnel only. The Corporate offices in Toronto and Longueuil have been temporarily closed pursuant to government directive and work-from-home protocols have been developed, where possible.
In light of the current health risks, the Company has taken proactive actions to support local governments in Suriname, Burkina Faso, Senegal and Mali in their efforts to contain the spread of the virus by committing to provide, among other things, personal protective equipment, masks, ventilators and testing kits.
Supply chain delays and disruptions
The impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain is still evolving, and in particular its impact on the mining industry. The magnitude of disruptions could increase as the time to recovery lengthens, and the combined effect of plant closures and supply shortages across the extended supply network could lead to supply chain disruption. Limited transportation capacity, lack of personnel mobility, traffic restrictions, expedited freight costs, potential payment premiums and the implementation of alternative sourcing strategies could result in increased input costs during the remainder of 2020.
The Company has a geographically diversified supply chain. There are alternative sources identified for a number of key commodities and critical parts, and the inventory strategy includes contingency planning in the event of supply chain disruption. In addition, the Company has built strong relationships with key suppliers and has processes in place that provide visibility across the annual plans and consumption forecasts, in an effort to maintain optimal inventory levels on site.
The Company has identified key direct suppliers and is actively monitoring their ability to meet the sites’ supply requirements and potential risks. As part of the business continuity plans, active communication channels have been implemented with key suppliers and alternative plans have been identified, to reduce risk, where possible. Nevertheless, any prolonged disruption to supply chain could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Gold shipment and refining disruptions
Due to global COVID-19 travel restrictions, including commercial airline flight suspensions, there are logistical risks associated with the shipment of gold from the sites. COVID-19 imposed government lockdowns have resulted in the suspension of operations for some of the refineries or a reduction in operating hours and procedures. The Company is assessing alternative refining and shipping options, and enhancing security measures for gold inventory on site. Any disruption in the ability of the Company to ship gold from its sites could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Labour
The COVID-19 crisis has impacted workforce mobility and the availability of talent and expertise, due to the health and safety provisions required to maintain a healthy and productive workforce. In addition, various jurisdictional lockdowns are causing fewer workers to be accessible, with negative impact on the Company’s operations. At the Company’s operating sites, there is ongoing effort and dialogue with labour union leadership to ensure the measures that are being considered and/or adopted are mutually supported (such as employee rotation, scheduling, confinement and quarantine).
Although the Company has scaled back on some of its operations as a control measure to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 among employees and contractors, there have been no material workforce reductions to date. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the impact of a prolonged crisis on headcount. The Company had adopted a temporary layoff with pay at the Westwood mine, when it was in care and maintenance. The Company has developed a number of measures to manage staffing needs, such as a plan for expatriate travel, identification and maintaining essential personnel on site, re-assessed and/or modified employee work rotation timeframes, return to work protocols, incentive plans, and other measures to ensure the health and productivity of employees.
Short term closure and shutdowns
The Company’s mines in Suriname and Burkina Faso continue to operate, however, at less than full capacity due to the absence of certain members of the workforce for quarantine or preventative purposes. The Rosebel mine in Suriname and the Essakane mine in Burkina Faso were moved into self-confinement on March 22, 2020 and March 24, 2020, respectively, to better protect employees and communities, and to support the continuity of these operations. On April 8, 2020, the Essakane mine was subsequently placed under administrative quarantine by the Government of Burkina Faso thereby, requiring government approval for movement of personnel to and from the site. The Company's Westwood Gold Mine in Canada was placed on care and maintenance on March 25, 2020 as directed by the Government of Quebec in response to the COVID-19 crisis as mining was considered a non-essential business. Subsequently on April 15, 2020, Westwood commenced the restart of operations from care and maintenance following the April 13, 2020 confirmation from the Government of Quebec that mining is an essential business.
The short-term cessation of mining at Westwood and the scaling back of operations at Rosebel and Essakane could negatively impact the Company’s 2020 production guidance. The Company has developed detailed business recovery and restart plans and the sites are well-positioned to quickly adjust mining operations, as needed. Nonetheless, any further or more restrictive shut down could result in significant decrease in production.

FIRST QUARTER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – MARCH 31, 2020

Social unrest due to economic downturn
To minimize a significant rise in the COVID-19 infection rate in the country, the Government of Burkina Faso has declared a national emergency and could potentially postpone the presidential election expected in November 2020. These actions could result in civil unrest. At the same time, terrorism risks continue to remain high despite military operations conducted in the Sahel region by the French military and other forces. Kidnapping and attack risks continue to remain high in northern, central, and eastern Burkina Faso.
For all African countries, prolonged confinement or restriction of movement imposed by the respective governments in their fight against COVID-19 could adversely impact the economic conditions of vulnerable communities which could lead to social unrest.
In Suriname, the risk of protests is likely to remain elevated, particularly as there is general dissatisfaction in the country with respect to matters involving loss of foreign currency reserves at the Central Bank of Suriname in January 2020.
Impact of government regulation
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the Company’s operations, projects and exploration activities have been and are currently subject to government-mandated restrictions and shutdowns. Strict travel restrictions implemented by governments, as well as quarantine, isolation and physical distancing requirements, have had a negative impact on workforce mobility and, as a consequence, in some cases, on productivity. It is difficult to predict the future political, social and economic impact to the countries in which the Company operates, and the impact that government decisions may have on its business. In March, the Government of Burkina Faso closed its air and land borders, and banned public transport nationwide, including buses. The Government of Suriname has closed all ports of entry, including airports, border ferry crossings, and land borders.
In addition, although the Company’s foreign operations are governed by mineral agreements with local governments that establish the terms and conditions under which the Company's affairs are conducted, the COVID-19 crisis is expected to increase political and regulatory uncertainty in the countries where the Company operates. In Suriname, in an effort to support the local currency and to control inflation, a new law was passed on March 23, 2020 requiring exporters to repatriate 60% of their foreign sales, establishing a government-mandated exchange rate and requiring that all foreign currency transactions go through the Central Bank. The law has been challenged by the local businesses and the banking community. The new law has not had a significant negative impact on the Company at the moment, though key aspects need to be clarified and revised.
Business continuity, management contingency and emergency succession plans
The Company has prepared detailed business continuity plans in case a reduction or cessation of operations becomes necessary or desirable, and scenarios related to different production capacity / levels (such as tonnes mined, ounces produced), people and equipment required, as well as required support functions and services (such as Power Supply, Maintenance, Supply Chain, Security, IT, Transportation, Finance and General services) have been developed for different time frames and impacts of the pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis has also prompted the Company’s operating sites to consider and assess the option for care and maintenance due to government regulations or health and safety reasons.
Contingency management teams are in place at all the Company’s sites and extensive communications have been provided to employees to ensure the continuous awareness and protection of the workforce. At the same time, recovery plans have been developed to position the Company to safely and efficiently ramp up operations in a timely manner, after the restrictions are lifted.
Given the unforeseen conditions resulting from COVID-19 crises, there can be no assurance that the Company’s response and business continuity plans will be effective in managing the crises that changing conditions could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Impact of volatility in the capital markets, including access to capital
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused considerable disruption to the world economy and financial and metals markets. The continued global spread of COVID-19 has resulted in increased gold price volatility and disruption to financial markets, impacting interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions and other factors relevant to the Company.
The Company’s ability to fund ongoing operations, exploration activities and projects is affected by the availability of financing. Due to market uncertainty, the Company may be unable to raise additional funding for future activities, or such financing may not be available on favourable terms. The inability to raise additional funds, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Adequacy of insurance coverage
Standard business insurance policies are designed and priced to cover standard risks and therefore may not provide coverage over the effects of the COVID-19 crisis. However, certain liabilities and circumstances may be covered by the current insurance policies. Any potential COVID-19 claim will be reviewed against specific insurance policies on a case-by-case basis under advisement by the Company’s insurance brokers.
The Company is also in process of assessing the coverage of the traveller’s insurance, medical evacuation for expatriates and other employee related claims, where applicable.
Cost increase
The COVID-19 pandemic may cause higher operating and capital costs due to containment efforts such as building quarantine rooms, limitations on mobility of people, disruption to the supply chain and increase in demand for financial support and aid from host governments.

some cases, temporary cessation of mining operations, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Cyber security threats
As a result of COVID-19 crises, the Company had to adapt to the rapidly evolving IT security requirements including transitioning employees to work-from-home, where possible. The Company has experienced a spike in phishing, malicious spams and emails. Cybercriminals are exploiting users and technology to access passwords, networks and data and, capitalizing on popular trends to tempt users into unsafe online behaviour such as creation of COVID-19 related fraudulent websites.
Protection against cyber security incidents, cloud security and security of all of the Company’s IT systems are critical to the operations of the Company. The Company is taking proactive steps by enhancing the detection and alerting capabilities, deployment of more sophisticated malware protection tools and ongoing cyber communications to employees. However, a cyber security incident resulting in a security breach or a failure to identify a security threat could disrupt business and could result in the loss of business sensitive, confidential or personal information or other assets, as well as litigation, regulatory enforcement, violation of privacy or securities laws and regulations, and remediation costs, which could materially impact the Company’s business or reputation.
RISKS GENERALLY
The Company is subject to various risks, known and unknown, arising from factors within or outside of its control. This section describes the principal risks and uncertainties that had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations during the first quarter 2020 and that are reasonably likely to affect them in the future. For a comprehensive discussion of these and other risks at any time faced by the Company, refer to the Company’s latest AIF, filed with 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.html. The AIF, which is filed and viewable on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov/edgar.html, 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.
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 mines. 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 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.
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 as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

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. Working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including a build-up or reduction of inventories. Management believes by excluding these items, this non-GAAP measure provides investors with the ability to better evaluate the cash flow performance of the Company.
Net cash from operating activities before changes in working capital 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 as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS
Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD and adjusted net earnings (loss) 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. These measures are used internally by the Company to evaluate the performance of its underlying operations and to assist with its planning and forecasting of future operating results. As such, the Company believes these measures are useful to investors in assessing the Company’s underlying performance. These measures 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, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted net earnings (loss) attributable to equity holders of IAMGOLD represents net earnings (loss) attributable to equity holders excluding certain impacts, net of taxes, such as changes in estimates of asset retirement obligations at closed sites, unrealized (gain) loss on non-hedge derivatives and warrants, impairment charges and reversal of impairment charges, write-down of assets, and foreign exchange (gain) loss. These measures are not necessarily indicative of net earnings (loss) or cash flows as determined under IFRS.

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. Although 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 and 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 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. Total cash costs does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers, 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 financial statements.

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, sustaining lease principal payments, environmental rehabilitation accretion and depreciation, by-product credits, and corporate general and administrative costs. Classified as sustaining capital are expenditures which are required to maintain existing operations, including sustaining capitalized stripping, underground mine development costs relating to producing areas, ongoing replacement of mine equipment and capital spares, tailings and other facilities, capitalized brownfield exploration costs and other capital expenditures.
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 the Essakane, Rosebel and Westwood mines.
AISC 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 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.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sadiola:
On December 20, 2019, the Company, together with its joint venture partner, AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AGA”), entered into an agreement to sell their collective 82% interests in Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola S.A. ("Sadiola") to Allied Gold Corp. for a cash consideration of US$105 million ($52.5 million each to the Company and AGA), payable as follows:
$50 million upon the fulfillment or waiver of all conditions precedent and closing of the transaction ("Closing");
Up to a further $5 million, payable 8 days after Closing, to the extent that the cash balance of Sadiola at Closing is greater than an agreed amount;
$25 million upon the production of the first 250,000 ounces from the Sadiola Sulphides Project ("SSP"); and
$25 million upon the production of a further 250,000 ounces from the SSP.
The transaction remains subject to the fulfillment, or waiver, of a number of conditions precedent, including the receipt of certain approvals and releases from the Government of Mali. In addition, upon the fulfillment or waiver of all conditions precedent to the transaction but immediately prior to Closing, Sadiola will pay a dividend of $15 million pro rata to its shareholders.
As of December 31, 2019, the Sadiola disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company’s anticipated share of the proceeds was less than the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in and receivable from Sadiola. This was considered by the Company to be an indicator of impairment for both the Sadiola assets and the Company’s investment in and receivable from Sadiola.
As a result, an assessment was performed and an impairment loss of $36.3 million, for the Company's share of the impairment recognized by Sadiola for the difference between the fair value less cost of disposal ("FVLCD") of Sadiola's net assets and their carrying value, was recognized in Loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019. The FVLCD was determined by calculating the fair value of the Company’s share of the consideration receivable from Allied Gold Corp. (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). The fair value of the consideration comprised of $25.0 million cash receivable upon Closing, $2.5 million cash receivable after Closing, and $12.0 million being the fair value ascribed to the payments contingent on reaching the production milestones. The significant estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the contingent payments were the production profile and discount rate.
An impairment loss of $9.4 million, estimated as the difference between the carrying value of the investment ($38.9 million) and loan receivable ($10.0 million) and the FVLCD, was also recognized in Loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The total carrying value of $45.6 million is presented as current assets held for sale.

Yatela:
On February 14, 2019, Sadiola Exploration Limited ("SADEX"), an entity jointly held by the Company and AGA, entered into a share purchase agreement with the Government of Mali, whereby SADEX agreed to sell to the Government of Mali its 80% participation in Yatela, for consideration of $1. The transaction remains subject to the fulfillment of a number of conditions precedent, among which the adoption of two laws, confirming the change of status of Yatela to a state entity, and also the creation of a dedicated state agency, notably in charge of Yatela mine rehabilitation and closure. As part of the transaction, and upon its completion, the Company will make a one-time payment of approximately $18.5 million to the said state agency, in an amount corresponding to the estimated costs of completing the rehabilitation and closure of the Yatela mine, and also financing certain outstanding social programs. Upon completion and this payment being made, SADEX and its affiliated companies will be released of all obligations relating to the Yatela mine including those relating to rehabilitation, mine closure and the financing of social programs.
As of March 31, 2019, the Yatela disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The net carrying value of the investment in Yatela before classification as held for sale was in a liability position of ($13.2 million). A loss of $5.3 million as a result of writing down the carrying amount of the disposal group to its fair value less costs to sell was included in Loss from discontinued operations. The total carrying value of ($18.5 million) is presented as current liabilities held for sale.
Together the Sadiola and Yatela disposal groups are considered a separate geographical area of operation and have therefore been presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

On March 6, 2017, the Company signed an agreement with a third-party for the construction of a solar power plant to deliver power to the Essakane mine for a period of 15 years upon commissioning for active use. The solar power plant was commissioned for active use on June 1, 2018. A prepayment of $4.9 million was made in 2017 towards the purchase of power in connection with the agreement, and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, $0.1 million (three months ended March 31, 2019 - $0.1 million) was utilized.

(a)    Asset retirement obligations
The Company’s activities are subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental restoration and closure for which the Company estimates future costs and recognizes a provision. 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, changes in discount rates, changes in approved closure plans, changes in estimated costs of reclamation activities and acquisition or construction of a new mine. The Company makes a provision based on the 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
The Office of the Attorney General of Burkina Faso has commenced proceedings against IAMGOLD Essakane S.A. and certain of its employees relating to its practice of exporting carbon fines containing gold and silver from Burkina Faso to a third-party facility in Canada for processing and eventual sale. Upon the sale of the gold and silver extracted from the carbon fines, IAMGOLD Essakane S.A. has paid (and will pay in respect to the 2018 shipment when released) the same royalty as applicable under the Burkina Faso Mining Code to other gold and silver produced by Essakane. The proceedings are in respect of a number of alleged offences by IAMGOLD Essakane S.A. and certain of its employees from 2015 through 2018, and include allegations of misrepresenting the presence of government officials at the time of packaging and weighing, misrepresenting the amounts of gold and silver contained in the carbon fines to be exported by using false moisture rates and non-compliant weighing equipment, and failing to comply with customs and exchange control regulations. The Company is in the process of completing an internal review and, at this stage, other than in respect of certain notification and other regulatory violations, the Company believes it will be in a position to vigorously defend the various allegations. Moreover, to the extent that any of its estimates in terms of weight, moisture levels or gold and silver contained in such carbon fines may have been inaccurate, the estimates were made in good faith and the total royalty amounts paid to the Government of Burkina Faso in respect of the gold and silver contained in the relevant shipments and processed for IAMGOLD Essakane S.A. at the third-party facility were nevertheless correct as they were based on the final estimations of gold and silver contained in the carbon fines received by the third-party facility.
Since IAMGOLD Essakane S.A. has only been provided with a limited evidentiary basis for the allegations, no amounts have been recorded for any potential liability arising from the proceedings, as the Company cannot predict the outcome and any resulting penalties with any certainty.

Rosebel has a power purchase agreement with the Government of Suriname. This agreement specifies both the quantity of power Rosebel is expected to purchase as well as the price per kilowatt hour.  An embedded derivative exists in the Rosebel power purchase agreement as increases in electricity prices are linked to the price of gold. This embedded derivative is accounted for separately from the host contract at FVTPL as the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related. The company recognized an embedded derivative liability of $17.1 million as at March 31, 2020 due primarily to the forward price of gold exceeding the minimum price threshold set in the agreement.
15.    INCOME TAXES    
The Company estimates the effective tax rates expected to be applied for the full year and uses these rates to determine income tax provisions in interim periods. The impact of changes in judgments and estimates concerning the probable realization of losses, changes in tax rates, and foreign exchange rates are recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $3.6. million (three months ended March 31, 2019 - $1.4 million) and varied from the income tax expense calculated using the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory tax rate of 26.5%. The variance was mainly due to net foreign earnings taxed at different tax rates and fluctuations in the mix of income for the recognition of certain tax benefits and related deferred tax assets.

(a)7% Senior Notes ("Notes")
On March 16, 2017, the Company issued at face value $400 million of Notes due in 2025 with an interest rate of 7% per annum. The Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and mature on April 15, 2025. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual installments on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2017. The Notes are guaranteed by some of the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $6.4 million which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Notes within Long-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method.
Prior to April 15, 2020, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a "make-whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On and after April 15, 2020, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the relevant redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Notes during the 12-month period beginning on April 15 of each of the following years is: 2020 - 105.25%; 2021 - 103.50%; 2022 - 101.75%; 2023 and thereafter - 100%.
Prior to April 15, 2020, using the cash proceeds from an equity offering, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 107% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to the redemption date.
The prepayment options are options that represent an embedded derivative asset to the Company and are presented as an offset to the Notes on the Consolidated balance sheets. The debt component was initially recognized at $404.2 million, which represented the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the embedded derivative at inception.

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 2020
PAGE 42



Subsequently, the debt component is recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The embedded derivative represents the prepayment option and is classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The embedded derivative is recognized at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The fair value of the embedded derivative as at March 31, 2020 was $nil (note 19(a)), (December 31, 2019 - $12.0 million).
Under the indenture governing the Notes‎, 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 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.

(b)
Equipment Loan
On June 27, 2019, the Company executed a €20.5 million (US$ 23.3 million) loan agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (the “Equipment Loan”) with an interest rate of 5.23% per annum. The Equipment Loan, secured by certain mobile equipment at Essakane, matures on June 27, 2024 and is repayable in quarterly installments starting September 27, 2019. The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.3 million which have been capitalized and offset against the carrying amount of the Equipment Loan within Long-term debt in the Consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized using the effective interest rate method. The loan is carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated balance sheets.

(c)
Credit facility
On February 26, 2020, the Company further amended its $500 million credit facility with a maturity date of January 31, 2023. These amendments included, among other things, extending $447 million of credit available under the credit facility agreement to a maturity date of January 31, 2024.
On November 15, 2018, the Company amended its $250 million credit facility. These amendments included, amongst other things, increasing the credit facility to $500 million, extending the maturity to January 31, 2023, an option to increase commitments by $100 million, the ability to enter into leases of up to $250 million, the ability to enter into gold prepaid transaction(s) of no more than 225,000 ounces, and changes to the financial covenants including the elimination of the Minimum Tangible Net Worth covenant. The Company was in compliance with its credit facility covenants as at March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, letters of credit worth $0.4 million were drawn against the credit facility for the guarantee of certain environmental indemnities (December 31, 2019 - $0.4 million).
(d)
Uncollateralized surety bonds
As at March 31, 2020, C$215.3 million (March 31, 2020 - $152.5 million; December 31, 2019 ‐ C$198.9 million, $153.4 million) of uncollateralized surety bonds were outstanding to guarantee the environmental indemnities related to the Doyon division and the Côté Gold Project. The uncollateralized surety bonds were issued pursuant to arrangements with international insurance companies.

DEFERRED REVENUE
On January 15, 2019, the Company entered into a forward gold sale arrangement (the “Arrangement”) with a syndicate of banks whereby the Company received a cash prepayment of $169.8 million in exchange for delivering 12,500 ounces of gold per month in 2022, with a gold floor price of $1,300 per ounce and a cap price of $1,500 per ounce.
The Arrangement has been accounted for as a contract in the scope of IFRS 15 whereby the cash prepayment has been recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized as revenue when deliveries are made. The prepayment represents a payment of the floor price of $1,300 per ounce. If the spot price on delivery of the gold ounces exceeds $1,300 per ounce, capped to $1,500 per ounce, the Company will receive the difference between the spot price and $1,300 per ounce in cash, which also will be recognized as revenue when the gold is delivered.
An interest cost, representing the significant financing component of the cash prepayment, is recognized as part of finance costs.
The following table summarizes the change in deferred revenue:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(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 ("OCI"). The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is primarily focused on the mining sector and relates entirely to investments in equity securities.

There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
(ii)
Currency exchange rate risk
Movements in the Canadian dollar (C$) against the U.S. dollar ($) have a direct impact on the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements.
The Company manages its exposure to the Canadian dollar by executing option and forward 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.
The Company has designated option and forward contracts as cash flow hedges for its highly probable forecasted Canadian dollar expenditure requirements. The Company has elected to only designate the change in the intrinsic value of options in the hedging relationships. The change in fair value of the time value component of options is recorded in OCI as a cost of hedging.
As at March 31, 2020, the Company's outstanding derivative contracts which qualified for hedge accounting and the periods in which the cash flows are expected to occur and impact the Consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and Property, plant and equipment balance are as follows:

Oil and fuel market price risk
Low sulfur diesel and fuel oil are key inputs to extract tonnage and, in some cases, to wholly or partially power operations. Brent crude oil and West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil are components of diesel and fuel oil, respectively, such that changes in the price of crude oil directly impacts diesel and fuel oil costs. The Company established a hedging strategy to limit the impact of fluctuations in crude oil prices and to economically hedge future consumption of diesel and fuel oil at the Rosebel and Essakane mines. The Company has designated option contracts as cash flow hedges for the crude oil component of its highly probable forecasted low sulfur diesel and fuel oil purchases.
As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s outstanding crude oil derivative contracts, which qualified for hedge accounting, and the periods in which the cash flows are expected to occur and impact the Consolidated statements of earnings (loss), are as follows:

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 which the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 which 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 have been no changes in the classification of the financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2019.

Valuation techniques
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash are included in Level 1 due to the short-term maturity of these financial assets.
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 which are not actively traded is determined using valuation techniques which require inputs that are both unobservable and significant, and therefore were categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the latest market transaction price for these securities, obtained from the entity, to value these marketable securities.

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 to reflect the counterparty’s or the Company’s own default risk. Valuations are based on 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.
Embedded derivative - Prepayment option on notes
The fair value of the embedded derivative as at March 31, 2020 was $nil and is accounted for at FVTPL. The valuation is based on the discounted cash flows at the risk-free rate to determine the present value of the prepayment option. Key inputs used in the valuation include the credit spread, volatility parameter and the risk-free rate curve. Valuation of the prepayment option is therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Embedded derivative - Rosebel power purchase agreement
The fair value of the embedded derivative on Rosebel's power purchase agreement as at March 31, 2020 was $17.1 million and is accounted for at FVTPL. Included in the power purchase agreement is a price escalator which results in increases in electricity prices linked to the price of gold. The valuation is based on the discounted estimated incremental

IAMGOLD CORPORATION
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 2020
PAGE 48



cash flows above the baseline power price at the risk-free rate to determine the present value of the price escalator. Key inputs used in the valuation include the credit spread, volatility parameter, the risk-free rate curve and future gold price estimates. Valuation of the price escalator is therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Senior Notes
The fair value of Senior Notes 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 the Senior Notes as at March 31, 2020 was $373.3 million (December 31, 2019 - $416.8 million).
Equipment Loan
The fair value of the Equipment Loan required to be disclosed is determined by applying a discount rate, reflecting the credit spread based on the Company's credit rating to future cash flows and is therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Equipment Loan as at March 31, 2020 was $21.5 million (December 31, 2019 - $20.8 million).
Other financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their carrying amounts.
