IAMGOLD Corp T.IMG

MUST RESPONSE TO A RANTING READER

[Luke555]

As a long term shareholder, who has spent his entire career in the mining industry and has invested in the stock market, I’ve enjoyed sharing my experiences and my positive outlook with the genuine shareholders of IMG/IAG. Over the years, most readers have responded in a positive manner and that they find my written information to be interesting, informative and useful.
Following is a sample of my ongoing phrases and basic message:

• Despite all the shenanigans going on at the Head-Office, I firmly believe that IMG has valuable strategic assets and some of the best mining exploration properties in the gold mining sector.
• We are not out of the woods yet, but there are many reasons to be optimistic and to expect higher prices as we head toward the end of the year.
• As an investor, when you see a company that is approaching cash value, I see an opportunity!
• According to a reliable and dependable source of mine, he believes that the Gosselin Ore Zone – (adjacent to the Cote Property) could become another Cote Gold Mine all by itself.
• For heaven sakes, do not sell to the short traders. At this stage, hang in tight, we longs have been waiting long enough and our patience will be rewarded with a decent return on our investments.
• This is a crazy time in the gold market. As one subscriber aptly, mentioned, “How can the share price of IMG be trading in the low $2.80’s CDN range, when the price of gold in near $1,800.00 USD”. It just doesn’t make sense!!!
• Believe me, I’m not a stock promoter, but I am all in with IMG. “Be patient, Sit tight and BE right!!

Recently, a reader has become very abusive with his remarks regarding my comments and outlook on IMG/IAG. His vocabulary is totally uncivil and incomprehensible and I’ve ask him to tone it down. But, to no avail. As a sample of his flagrant remarks, he refers my comments as to pumping on Stock House daily, and that I should flush all my postings down the toilet… you get the gist!! In my opinion, his attacking me is totally unwarranted and without merit. I’m not above criticism, but I think this person has gone too far. If he really feels that negative about my comments, he should move on to another board because I’m not leaving!
