6.2 Property description
The Niobec property is held 100% by Niobec Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAMGOLD
Corporation.
The Niobec mine is located on a property of 8,010.85 hectares comprising two mining leases,
No 663 and 706 (with surface area of 79.9 and 49.5 hectares respectively), and 179 claims
totaling 7,881.4 hectares. The property was enlarged in 2010 with the acquisition of all rights
into 23 claims. In 2011 and 2012, for the purpose of the Niobec Expension project, 113 news
claims were acquired principally on the North and the West area of the mining leases. The
mining leases have been renewed until 2015 (Figure 2). At the end of December 2012, four
claims were suspended because they were under a new mining leases request at the MRNF.
