WE URGE INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain the documents free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

Reasons for Proposed Combination

      The Notice of Variation states that, in the event all of the IAMGold shares that are issued and outstanding on June 4, 2004 (and all IAMGold shares issuable upon exercise of options to acquire IAMGold shares that are in-the-money on June 28, 2004) are tendered to our offer and all depositing shareholders select the Cash and Share Option, the cash, cash equivalents and bullion of the combined company would be reduced by approximately Cdn.$74.7 million and by up to an additional Cdn.$30.3 million in the event we are required to make the contingent payment referred to in Section 1 of the Notice of Variation “Increase in Price Offered for IAMGold Shares — Contingent Payment Entitlement”. In the event that all of the IAMGold shares issued and outstanding on June 4, 2004 (and all IAMGold shares issuable upon exercise of options to acquire IAMGold shares that are in-the-money on July 13, 2004) are tendered to our offer, these reductions would be substantially the same.

 
Source of Offered Consideration

      Assuming that all of the depositing shareholders elect the All Share Option and all of the IAMGold shares that are issued and outstanding as of June 4, 2004 (and all IAMGold shares issuable upon exercise of options to acquire IAMGold shares that are in-the-money at July 13, 2004) are tendered to the offer and that we take up and pay for such IAMGold shares under the offer, we will issue approximately 188.4 million Golden Star shares. If all of the IAMGold shareholders elect the All Share Option and all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of all IAMGold options outstanding on June 4, 2004 were tendered to the offer and taken up and paid for under the offer, the number of Golden Star shares issued would increase to 189.4 million. If all of the depositing shareholders elect the Cash and Share Option, and all of the IAMGold shares that are issued and outstanding as of June 4, 2004 (and all IAMGold shares issuable upon exercise of options to acquire IAMGold shares that are in-the-money at July 13, 2004) are tendered to the offer and that we take up and pay for such IAMGold shares under the offer, we will issue approximately 173.3 million Golden Star shares and pay approximately Cdn.$75.4 million in cash to depositing shareholders. If all of the IAMGold shareholders elect the Cash and Share Option and all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of all IAMGold options outstanding on June 4, 2004 were tendered to the offer and taken up and paid for under the offer, the number of Golden Star shares issued would increase to 174.3 million and the cash paid would increase to Cdn.$75.8 million. If the contingent payment referred to in Section 1 of the Notice of Variation, “Increase in Price Offered for IAMGold Shares — Contingent Payment Entitlement” is payable, we will pay to IAMGold shareholders an additional Cdn.$30.1 million in cash, if all of the IAMGold shares issued and outstanding as at June 4, 2004 (and all IAMGold shares issuable upon exercise of IAMGold options that are in-the-money at July 13, 2004) are deposited under the offer and taken up and paid for. If all of the IAMGold shares issued and outstanding as at June 4, 2004, including all shares issuable upon exercise of options outstanding on that date, are deposited under the offer and taken up and paid for, the contingent payment payable by us would be approximately Cdn.$30.3 million.

          Revised Pro Forma Financial Statements

      Attached as Annex A to this Notice of Extension and Variation are revised pro forma financial statements of Golden Star replacing Annex B of the Offer and Circular, as amended by the Notice of Variation, in its entirety.

4.   Recent Developments

      On July 6, 2004, at the adjourned annual and special meeting of the shareholders of IAMGold, the shareholders of IAMGold voted against the resolutions necessary to complete the proposed IAMGold/Wheaton River transaction. Following that meeting, Wheaton River announced that it had adjourned its shareholder meeting and that the arrangement agreement between IAMGold and Wheaton River had been terminated.

      On July 7, 2004, Golden Star sent a letter to Joe Conway, President and Chief Executive Officer of IAMGold, reiterating Golden Star’s request for access to non-public documents of IAMGold and for access to IAMGold’s principal properties to enable the due diligence conditions of our offer to be satisfied.

      On July 8, 2004, IAMGold announced that it had expanded the mandate of the special committee of its Board of Directors to include actively pursuing alternatives to maximize value for IAMGold shareholders and that it had engaged RBC Capital Markets as its financial advisor to assist in identifying and pursuing such alternatives. IAMGold also announced that its Board of Directors had recommended that IAMGold shareholders reject our offer and not tender their IAMGold shares to our offer, which recommendation was based in part on the formal opinion of the special committee’s financial advisor that the consideration offered under our offer was inadequate, from a financial point of view, to IAMGold shareholders.

Table of Contents

      Also on July 9, 2004, Mr. Conway spoke via telephone with Mr. Bradford and advised him that IAMGold was preparing a virtual data room containing the IAMGold information we required and indicating that Golden Star would be required to sign a special form of confidentiality agreement as a result of IAMGold’s view of Golden Star’s recent activities.

      In response, Mr. Bradford wrote to Mr. Conway later that day advising him that Golden Star did not believe it was appropriate for Golden Star to be required to sign a special form of confidentiality agreement and enclosing a form of confidentiality agreement signed by us based on the form of confidentiality agreement between IAMGold and Golden Star entered into in September 2003. As of July 15, 2004, this form of confidentiality agreement has not been countersigned by IAMGold.

      Also on July 9, 2004, IAMGold issued a Notice of Change to its Directors’ Circular dated June 24, 2004, recommending that shareholders reject our increased offer and not tender their IAMGold shares thereto based in part on the conclusion that our increased offer is financially inadequate. The Notice of Change to the Directors’ Circular indicated that although the IAMGold shareholders voted against the proposed arrangement with Wheaton River, a break fee “may still be payable” by IAMGold to Wheaton River if Golden Star’s offer is successful.

      On July 12, 2004, Mr. Bradford sent a further letter to Mr. Conway requesting that Mr. Conway advise of the nature and content of any discussions between IAMGold and Wheaton River with respect to the payment of break fees and any opinions or advice that may have been received from IAMGold’s counsel or counsel to the special committee. Mr. Bradford also asked that IAMGold confirm that our offer would not trigger any change of control provisions in the joint venture/shareholder agreements with respect to IAMGold’s Material Interests in light of the fact that no such provisions were disclosed in either IAMGold’s Directors’ Circular dated June 24, 2004 or the Notice of Change to its Directors’ Circular dated July 8, 2004.

      On July 13, 2004, Mr. Conway responded by letter to Mr. Bradford’s letters of July 7, 9 and 12, but gave no further guidance regarding the applicability of the break fee or the existence of change of control provisions in the joint venture/shareholder agreements. The letter also did not address the timing of access to due diligence materials. The letter further stated that IAMGold had adopted a shareholder rights plan and that Golden Star’s bid would be considered in the context of the special committee and RBC Capital Markets identifying and pursuing alternatives to maximize shareholder value. IAMGold also stated that it no longer intended to ask Golden Star for a special form of confidentiality agreement.

      On July 13, 2004, IAMGold announced that its Board of Directors had adopted a shareholder rights plan that will terminate automatically on August 15, 2004. The rights plan provides, among other things, that if Golden Star were to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding IAMGold shares without the approval of IAMGold’s board of directors, each IAMGold shareholder, other than Golden Star and persons acting with Golden Star, would be able to purchase additional IAMGold shares at a 50% discount to the market price at that time. IAMGold stated that the purpose of the rights plan was to provide sufficient time to bring forward alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

      Also on July 13, 2004, at IAMGold’s direction Mr. Bradford contacted RBC Capital Markets, IAMGold’s financial advisors, to request a copy of the confidentiality agreement that potential bidders for IAMGold would be required to sign. RBC Capital Markets advised Mr. Bradford that while a form of confidentiality agreement would be finalized that day, a copy would not be provided to us at this time. RBC Capital Markets stated that IAMGold’s priority was to deal first with any other interested parties who might come forward. RBC Capital Markets advised Mr. Bradford that while IAMGold intends to make due diligence materials available to other parties, it is not willing to provide such information to Golden Star on a timely basis.

      Later on July 13, 2004, Mr. Bradford wrote a further letter to Mr. Conway advising Mr. Conway of our discussions with RBC Capital Markets and asking IAMGold to reconsider its position on due diligence access. In that letter, Mr. Bradford also reiterated our request that IAMGold provide us with the required information regarding break fees payable to Wheaton River.

Table of Contents

      A further letter was sent to Golden Star by Joe Conway on July 13, 2004 stating that it would not be in the interests of IAMGold shareholders to provide additional confidential information to Golden Star at this time.

      Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation filed formal offer documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2004 which are being mailed to all U.S. shareholders of Wheaton River. Later that day, Coeur d’Alene announced that the formal offer documents with respect to its offer to shareholders of Wheaton River are being completed and would be made available to Canadian shareholders as soon as practicable. In accordance with our pre-offer agreement with Coeur d’Alene, if Coeur d’Alene completes its proposed combination with Wheaton River and we successfully complete the offer, Coeur d’Alene or Wheaton River will pay to IAMGold a fee of $26 million in lieu of either Wheaton River or IAMGold paying a break fee.

      On July 14, we were notified that we had received the necessary approvals with respect to the offer under the Investment Canada Act.

      Golden Star’s Board of Directors met on July 15, 2004 with management and its legal and financial advisors to discuss the possible extension of the offer and the variation of certain conditions. The Board considered various alternatives with respect to the expiry of the offer and the conditions of the offer and sought and received advice from its legal and financial advisors. The Board approved the extension of the offer and the variation of the conditions of the offer on the terms set out in the Notice of Extension and Variation.

      On July 15, 2004, we made an application to the Ontario Securities Commission to set aside the shareholder rights plan adopted by IAMGold’s Board of Directors on July 13, 2004 on the basis that it constituted an improper defensive response to our offer.

5.   Take-Up of Deposited IAMGold Shares

      If all of the conditions referred to in Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions to the Offer”, as varied by the Notice of Variation and this Notice of Extension and Variation, have been fulfilled or, where permitted, waived at the expiry time of our offer, we will take up and pay for the IAMGold shares deposited under the offer and not withdrawn no later than 10 days from the expiry date, and will pay for the IAMGold shares taken up as soon as possible, but, in any event not later than three business days after taking up the IAMGold shares, other than the payment of amounts with respect to the contingent payment entitlement which shall be paid in the manner described in Section 1 of the Notice of Variation “Increase in Price Offered for IAMGold Shares”. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Payment for Deposited IAMGold Shares”.

6.   Right to Withdraw Deposited IAMGold Shares

      IAMGold shares may be withdrawn by or on behalf of a depositing shareholder (unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable law) (a) at any time where the IAMGold shares have not been taken up; (b) at any time before the expiration of ten days from the date of a notice of change or variation in respect of the offer; or (c) if we have not taken up and paid for the shareholder’s IAMGold shares within three business days after having been taken up.

7.   Subsequent Acquisition Transaction

      Under the original conditions to our offer, we were not required to take up and pay for any IAMGold shares tendered to the offer unless 66 2/3% of the shares of IAMGold (on a fully diluted basis) were deposited at the expiry time. We have amended the Minimum Tender Condition of the offer to provide that 50.1% of the shares of IAMGold (on a fully diluted basis) must be deposited before we are required to take up and pay for the IAMGold shares. See Section 2 of this Notice of Extension and Variation, “Conditions to the Offer”. If we acquire less than 66 2/3%, it may be more difficult to cause the subsequent amalgamation.

      In the event that 66 2/3% of the IAMGold shares are tendered to our offer and taken up and paid for, we would have the ability to control decisions of IAMGold, including decisions regarding fundamental changes to IAMGold (which would include our planned amalgamation, other changes to IAMGold’s capital structure, or

9


Table of Contents

significant dispositions). As a result of reducing the Minimum Tender Condition, we may acquire initially less than 66 2/3% of the IAMGold shares. In these circumstances, we would not be able to cause or control IAMGold fundamental changes without purchasing additional IAMGold shares. Also, we would not be able to guarantee the requisite vote to cause the subsequent amalgamation, which would be a fundamental change requiring the approval of the holders of 66 2/3% of the IAMGold shares.

      If we initially acquire less than 66 2/3% of the IAMGold shares under the offer, we may decide to acquire additional IAMGold shares in accordance with applicable law in order to obtain the 66 2/3% of outstanding IAMGold shares necessary to approve the planned amalgamation. Pursuant to applicable securities laws and subject to any exemption therefrom, we will be required to complete the amalgamation within 120 days of the expiry of the offer in order to vote our IAMGold shares in connection with the applicable minority approval requirements and to be exempt from the requirement to prepare a formal valuation of the IAMGold shares and the Golden Star shares.

      In the event we do not complete a subsequent amalgamation, we may not be able to integrate the operations of IAMGold and Golden Star or to realize the anticipated synergies. Additionally, if we do not complete a subsequent amalgamation on a timely basis, the exchange of IAMGold shares for Golden Star shares pursuant to the offer may not be treated as being made pursuant to a reorganization for U.S. tax purposes. See Section 11 of the Notice of Variation, “Certain U.S. Tax Considerations”.

8.   Variations to the Offer

      The Offer, as amended by the Notice of Variation, should be read as amended in order to give effect to the amendments set forth in this Notice of Extension and Variation.

9.   Directors’ Approval

      The contents of this Notice of Extension and Variation have been approved, and the sending thereof to the IAMGold shareholders has been authorized, by our board of directors.

10. Offerees’ Statutory Rights

      Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides securityholders of IAMGold with, in addition to any other rights that they may have at law, rights of rescission or damages, or both, if there is a misrepresentation in a circular or notice that is required to be delivered to such securityholders. However, such rights must be exercised within prescribed time limits. Securityholders should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province or territory for the particulars of those rights or consult with a lawyer.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

GOLDEN STAR RESOURCES LTD.

COMPILATION REPORT

To the Directors of Golden Star Resources Ltd.

We have read the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Golden Star Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) as at March 31, 2004 and unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three month period then ended, and for the year ended December 31, 2003, all of which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We have performed the following procedures.

  1. Compared the figures in the columns captioned “Golden Star Resources Ltd.” to the consolidated financial statements of Golden Star Resources Ltd. as at March 31, 2004 and for the three month period then ended, and found them to be in agreement, or recalculated those figures based on information in such consolidated financial statements, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.
 
  2. Compared the figures in the columns captioned “IAMGold Corporation” to the consolidated financial statements of IAMGold Corporation as at March 31, 2004 and for the three month period then ended, and found them to be in agreement, or recalculated those figures based on information in such consolidated financial statements, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.
 
  3. Compared the figures in the column captioned “Golden Star Resources Ltd.” to the consolidated financial statements of Golden Star Resources Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2003, and found them to be in agreement, or recalculated those figures based on information in such audited consolidated financial statements, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.
 
  4. Compared the figures in the column captioned “IAMGold Corporation” to the audited consolidated financial statements of IAMGold Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2003, and found them to be in agreement, or recalculated those figures based on information in such audited consolidated financial statements, and found the amounts to be arithmetically correct.
 
  5. Made enquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters about:

  a. the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and
 
  b. whether the pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the securities acts of the provinces and territories of Canada (the “Acts”) and the related regulations.

            The officials:

  a. described to us the basis for determination of the pro forma adjustments; and
 
  b. stated that the pro forma consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the Acts and related regulations.

  6. Read the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements, and found them to be consistent with the basis described to us for determination of the pro forma adjustments.
 
  7. Recalculated the application of the pro forma adjustments to the aggregate of the amounts in the columns captioned “Golden Star Resources Ltd.” and “IAMGold Corporation” as at March 31, 2004 and for the three month period then ended and found the amounts in the column captioned “Pro Forma Consolidated” to be arithmetically correct.

  December 31, 2003 and found the amounts in the column captioned “Pro Forma Consolidated” to be arithmetically correct.

      These pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on management’s assumptions and adjustments, which are inherently subjective. The foregoing procedures are substantially less than either an audit or a review, the objective of which is the expression of assurance with respect to management’s assumptions, the pro forma adjustments, and the application of the adjustments to the historical financial information. Accordingly, we express no such assurance. The foregoing procedures would not necessarily reveal matters of significance to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, and we therefore make no representation about the sufficiency of the procedures for the purposes of a reader of such statements.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF GOLDEN STAR RESOURCES LTD.

DESCRIPTION OF OFFER TO PURCHASE IAMGOLD CORPORATION

(All monetary figures are in United States dollars)

      Golden Star Resources Ltd. (“Golden Star”, the “Company”, “us”, “we”) announced on May 27, 2004 a proposed business combination with IAMGold Corporation (“IAMGold”). On June 28, 2004 we increased our offer to exchange 1.15 Golden Star common shares for each common share of IAMGold, to an exchange ratio of 1.25 Golden Star shares or 1.15 Golden Star shares plus Cdn$0.50 cash per IAMGold share. Assuming that all IAMGold shareholders elect the all share option, the offer would result in the issuance of approximately 188.4 million Golden Star shares, and assuming that all IAMGold shareholders elect the cash and share option, the offer would result in the issuance of approximately 173.3 million Golden Star shares, each for approximately 150.7 million IAMGold common shares (assuming all in-the-money options to purchase IAMGold common shares as of July 13, 2004 are exercised). In addition, Golden Star will pay a further Cdn$0.20 in cash per IAMGold share to the IAMGold shareholders in the event that no break fee is paid or becomes payable to Wheaton River Minerals Ltd.

      Assuming that all IAMGold shareholders elect the all share option and that all IAMGold shares are exchanged in this offer, immediately following the exchange, approximately 45% of the shares would be held by current Golden Star shareholders and approximately 55% of the shares would be held by current IAMGold shareholders, calculated on a fully diluted basis. As the relative share ownership of the two groups of shareholders is similar, it is expected that Golden Star’s board of directors and management will retain their positions in the combined entity and Golden Star’s corporate office will continue to be the headquarters of the combined entity, Golden Star is considered to be the acquirer for the purposes of purchase accounting. In accordance with this assumption, IAMGold’s assets and liabilities have been restated in the pro forma financial statements presented below, to reflect their estimated fair values as of the date of the announcement of the proposed acquisition.

      The pro forma financial statements are based upon a Golden Star common share price of $5.10, this amount being the average closing common share price of Golden Star three days before and after the day of the date of the public announcement of Golden Star’s proposed business combination with IAMGold.

      As a consequence of the nature of the transaction, there may be, and likely will be, actions and other events or changes initiated by IAMGold that would significantly change purchase prices and purchase price allocations. Also, Golden Star has not had access to proprietary and confidential corporate financial and other information of IAMGold and has not had an opportunity to undertake any due diligence procedures. Such information and procedures may provide Golden Star with additional information that could materially affect the purchase price paid for the acquisition of IAMGold, the purchase price allocation and, accordingly, the assumptions and pro forma adjustments. Identified factors which may have a significant impact on the basis and results of the combinations are described in Note 3 of the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.

      The combination of Golden Star and IAMGold is subject to, among other things, regulatory approval. The fair value of IAMGold’s assets and liabilities will ultimately be determined after the completion of the transaction. Therefore, it is likely that the fair values of assets and liabilities will vary from those shown and the differences may be material.

1.  The amount shown is an estimated price based on the number of IAMGold shares outstanding on June 4, 2004 and assumes that all IAMGold shareholders elect the all share option rather than the cash and share option, and assumes the exercise of all IAMGold options where the market price on July 13, 2004 exceeds such option’s exercise price, or “in-the-money” IAMGold options. The contingent payment of Cdn$0.20 is not included in the purchase price calculation.
 
2.  The allocation shown above assumes IAMGold will pay a $23 million break fee to Wheaton River. If Wheaton River were to combine with Coeur d’Alene, we would then receive a $26 million payment in lieu of the break fee from Coeur d’Alene per an agreement between us and Coeur d’Alene. See “Pre-Offer Agreement with Coeur d’Alene.” If we receive the $26 million payment from Coeur d’Alene, our cash would be $49 million higher and the goodwill would be $49 million lower than shown above.

IAMGold has not provided us access to their detailed accounting records nor has IAMGold assisted us in preparing any of the data contained in the pro forma financial statements shown below. IAMGold’s historical data was prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

      It is management’s opinion that these pro forma consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the transaction described above in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with Golden Star’s accounting policies.

      The pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of Golden Star which would have actually resulted had the proposed transactions been effected on the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Golden Star and IAMGold, described above.

      The pro forma consolidated financial statements assume that IAMGold will combine with Golden Star, and Wheaton River will not combine with Coeur d’Alene. As a result, IAMGold would be required to pay a $23 million break fee to Wheaton River. It also assumes that all of IAMGold’s shareholders elect the all share option rather than the cash and share option. If all of IAMGold’s shareholders elect the cash and share option, the change in the pro forma balance sheet would be a $57 million decrease in the combined company’s cash and a $20 million decrease in goodwill, offset by a $77 million decrease in share capital. If the contingent payment of Cdn$0.20 per IAMGold share is made, the impact on the pro forma financial statements would be substantially offset by the elimination of the break fee payable to Wheaton River. If Wheaton River agrees to combine with Coeur d’Alene, rather than IAMGold paying a $23 million break fee, we would receive a $26 million break fee from Coeur d’Alene. The accounting effect of this event on the pro forma financial statements would be a $49 million increase in the combined entity’s cash and a $49 million reduction in goodwill on the balance sheet of the combined entity both at March 31, 2004 under Canadian GAAP and at December 31, 2003 under US GAAP. This change would not affect net income or earnings per share.

3. SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

      The pro forma consolidated financial statements include the following pro forma assumptions and adjustments:

        (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled using the significant accounting policies as set out in the audited financial statements of Golden Star for the year ended December 31, 2003.
 
        (b) The December 31, 2003 and the March 31, 2004 pro forma statements of operations assume that the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2003. The March 31, 2004 balance sheet assumes the acquisition occurred at March 31, 2004.

A-14


Table of Contents

        (c) All of IAMGold’s assets and liabilities have been restated where appropriate to reflect estimated fair values using purchase accounting concepts. Estimated mining property and equity investment fair values are based upon discounted cash flow analysis.
 
        (d) IAMGold’s transaction costs are estimated to be $5 million. Golden Star’s transaction costs and fees, including advisors, legal, accounting, exchange fees, regulatory fees, and IAMGold rationalization costs will total approximately $10 million. It is also assumed that IAMGold will pay a $23 million break fee to Wheaton River. See “Pre-Offer Agreement with Coeur d’Alene”. Assumes that all of IAMGold’s shareholders elect the all share option rather than the cash and share option, and that in-the-money IAMGold options outstanding as of July 13, 2004 are exercised for cash and the IAMGold shares issued are exchanged for Golden Star shares.
 
        (e) The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets is shown as goodwill. The goodwill shown in the pro forma financial statements is based upon a preliminary analysis of the factors involved in determining fair values. The final allocation of the purchase price and the fair values of IAMGold’s assets and liabilities is subject to completion of definitive appraisals which would be carried out following completion of the acquisition.
 
        (f) No adjustments have been made to reflect expected synergies or cost savings of the proposed transaction.
 
        (g) Amortization has been adjusted to reflect adjustments of asset basis to fair value.
 
        (h) The impact of differences between the fair value and the tax value of assets and liabilities has been reflected in the future tax balance and the resulting impact on income tax expense has been reflected on the statements of operations.
 
        (i) The pro forma information has been compiled using a Golden Star common share price of $5.10 per share, being the average of the closing price on the AMEX for the three days before and after May 27, 2004, the date of announcement of Golden Star’s proposed business combination with IAMGold.
 
        (j) IAMGold’s 2003 and first quarter 2004 exploration costs have been capitalized as deferred exploration to correspond with Golden Star’s accounting policy.
 
        (k) During the first quarter of 2004, IAMGold changed its accounting policies with respect to the accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations and share options. Golden Star changed its accounting policies for Asset Retirement Obligations and share options effective January 1, 2003. Therefore, IAMGold’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 has been restated to account for these changes in accounting policies using the information disclosed in IAMGold’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, and the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
 
        (l) Deferred revenues related to hedge positions closed in past periods were assigned a fair value of nil and therefore the revenue recognized in IAMGold’s statements of operations has been reversed on the Golden Star pro forma statements of operation.
 
        (m) The gain on marketable securities recognized by IAMGold in comprehensive income is eliminated as a pro forma adjustment since the marketable securities were adjusted to fair value in the acquisition of IAMGold by Golden Star.
