IAMGOLD Corp. intends to acquire a further 41% stake in Sadiola mine from AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Iamgold chief executive Steve Letwin said he would consider buying out the 41% of the Sadiola mine controlled by AngloGold Ashanti. "My preference would be to buy it, I'm not afraid of Mali, even with everything that's going on there.

If the price was right we would look hard at increasing our interest in Sadiola," he said.
