IAMGOLD Corporation
IAMGOLD Corporation is a TSX/NYSE-listed (ticker IAG on NYSE) gold producer operating three mines: Côté Gold (Ontario, 70%-owned by IAMGOLD with Sumitomo Metal Mining holding the remaining 30% -- IAMGOLD repurchased a 9.7% interest in Nov 2024 to return to its original 70% stake), Essakane (Burkina Faso), and Westwood (Quebec). Q2 2026 (released 6 Aug 2026, one day before this record) was a standout quarter: 188,100 oz attributable gold produced (Côté 67,300oz, Essakane 88,400oz, Westwood 32,400oz), $507.3M adjusted EBITDA, and mine-site free cash flow of $368.9M (up from $140.5M a year earlier). Cash was $501.4M against $449.3M of long-term debt (senior notes), for net cash of $52.2M, with an undrawn $845.7M credit facility. Consolidated AISC was $2,271/oz, up from $2,041/oz a year earlier. Essakane declared a ~$500M 2026 dividend from 2025 profits, of which IAMGOLD expects ~$400M net. A June 2026 consolidated Mineral Resource update lifted Côté to 20.3Moz Measured & Indicated plus 3.5Moz Inferred, ahead of a new Côté technical report outlining a path to 40,000 tonnes/day processing -- that report remains PENDING as of this record, expected Q4 2026 (re-verified, not yet published). Renaud Adams is President and CEO.
Lifecycle Milestones
Construction Milestones
5 of 5 reached- Reached — date not disclosed · Not confirmed to a specific primary-sourced date this pass across the three-mine portfolio (Côté, Essakane, Westwood each permitted separately). · Source
- Jan 2020 · Approximate -- Côté Gold construction (IAMGOLD's most recent major build) began around 2020, ahead of first gold in 2024. · Source
- Jan 2024 · Côté Gold achieved first gold/commercial production in 2024 (IAMGOLD/Sumitomo joint venture). Essakane and Westwood have each been in continuous production for years prior; current company-wide production status is directly evidenced by Q2 2026 output of 188,100 oz across all three mines. · Source
- Reached — date not disclosed · Genuinely reached, but no single company-wide commercial-production date exists across a multi-mine portfolio (Essakane in Burkina Faso producing since 2010, Westwood in Quebec, and Cote Gold in Ontario which reached commercial production in 2024) built over more than a decade. Q2 2026 results reported attributable gold production of 188,100 oz (Essakane 88,400 oz, Cote 67,300 oz, Westwood 32,400 oz), with full-year 2026 guidance of 720,000-820,000 oz. This row was missing entirely prior to 2026-08-21 -- a genuine data gap, not a stage error; Miner.stage was already correctly PRODUCTION. · Source
Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.
Combined view across 3 projects. Figures below are only combined where the underlying basis genuinely matches -- see the notes under each.
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
