Representations

This decision is based on the following facts represented by the Filer:

1. The Filer is a corporation resulting from the amalgamation of Cambior Inc. (the predecessor company to the Filer) and IAMGOLD-QUEBEC Co. under the Companies Act (Quebec) as part of an arrangement in connection with the acquisition of Cambior Inc. by IAMGOLD Inc. ("IAMGOLD")(the"arrangement"), all of which was completed on November 8, 2006.

2. The head office and principal place of business of the Filer are in the Province of Québec.

3. The Filer's authorized capital stock consists of an unlimited number of common shares.

4. Pursuant to the arrangement (i) all issued and outstanding common shares of Cambior Inc. prior to the effective time of the arrangement (other than those held by IAMGOLD, if any) were cancelled and each holder thereof (other than IAMGOLD) received common shares of IAMGOLD; (ii) each common share of Cambior Inc. held by IAMGOLD, if any, at the effective time of the arrangement was converted into one common share of the Filer; (iii) each common share of IAMGOLD-QUEBEC Co. outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the arrangement was converted into one common share of the Filer; (iv) all warrants to purchase common shares of Cambior Inc. outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the arrangement were cancelled and, in consideration for such cancellation, the holders thereof were issued warrants to purchase common shares of IAMGOLD; and (v) all options to purchase common shares of Cambior Inc. outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the arrangement were cancelled and, in consideration for such cancellation, holders thereof received from IAMGOLD a fully vested option to purchase common shares of IAMGOLD.
