While we have strived to avoid impacting jobs at the operations, this is a necessary step for the long-term viability of the Rosebel mine for the mutual benefit of Suriname, the employees and our investors. On behalf of IAMGOLD and the Board of Directors, I express appreciation to all of our employees at Rosebel for their hard work and commitment in these challenging times.”
