The 2016 winter drilling program was designed to evaluate targets developed from previous drilling and from mapping and
trenching programs completed in summer 2015. Targeting continued to focus on extensions to the Monster Lake Shear Zone ("MLSZ")
hosting the 325-Megane zone as well as adjacent structures identified from the exploration program.
Craig MacDougall, Senior Vice President, Exploration for IAMGOLD, stated: "Assay results from this winter drilling program
have returned encouraging results from a possible second zone along the main hosting structure MLSZ and in an area located 200 to
400 metres to the north of the 325-Megane Zone. These results continue to improve our geologic understanding of the area which
will help guide future exploration."
"We are very happy with IAMGOLD's progress at Monster Lake," said David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold. "We come
out of each phase of work with more positive results and a better understanding of the property's geology. Given what we
have seen since work began at Monster Lake, we are increasingly convinced that the property has significant gold potential. "
Next Steps
Further drilling is required to assess the potential to outline a new lens and to continue to explore the MLSZ for additional
mineralized zones. The summer 2016 program recently commenced and will include further geological and structural mapping,
selected geochemical and geophysical surveys and a follow up diamond drilling program as weather conditions permit later in the
year.
