The amended credit facility comes with an accordion feature of up to $250 million that allows IAMGOLD to further increase available liquidity, subject to lender approval. The much bigger credit facility will strengthen the company’s financial position while also lowering its cost of capital. In addition, it should provide meaningful flexibility as the mining giant advances its operating portfolio and pursues internal growth opportunities.

The strengthening of the financial position comes on the heels of IAMGOLD Corporation announcing 12% increase in mineral resources at its Côté Gold Mine in Ontario, Canada. The updated mineral resource now shows 20.3 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated categories.
