Tolima Gold Inc. ("Tolima" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TOM) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an amending agreement (the "Amending
Agreement") amending the terms of the binding letter agreement (the "LOI") with
IAMGOLD Corporation (TSX:IMG)(NYSE:IAG) ("IAMGOLD") dated October 4, 2012.


Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, section 4(a) of the LOI will be amended to
modify the terms and conditions of the consideration to be paid or provided by
IAMGOLD for purposes of exercising the 51% Option (as defined in the LOI),
particularly to clarify: (i) that the first US$3,000,000 of Qualifying Expenses
(as defined in the LOI) is no longer a firm obligation of IAMGOLD and,
therefore, if IAMGOLD decides not to exercise the 51% Option, it will not be
obligated to pay to Tolima any shortfall of US$3,000,000 in Qualifying Expenses;
and (ii) the final earn-in payment will be either the expenditure of
US$6,000,000 of Qualifying Expenses or the drilling of not less than 12,000
meters of Qualifying Drilling (as defined in the LOI), whichever comes first. 


As consideration for the entering into of the Amending Agreement, IAMGOLD has
agreed to advance Tolima US$354,600 upon signing of the Amending Agreement to
cover current liabilities in Marmato Gold S.A. Sucursal S.A. The advance will be
considered Qualifying Expenses under the Amending Agreement. 


Jaime Lopez, the Chief Executive Officer of Tolima, stated: "We are pleased to
have brought in some needed funds to cover current liabilities in Marmato and
look forward to the continued support of IAMGOLD in the exploration and
development of the ANCAL project. IAMGOLD is actively exploring the ANCAL
project with the objective of identifying and prioritizing drill targets for
testing later this year, subject to receipt of necessary permits and has
invested approximately US$1.7 million, including cash payments totaling US$1.0
million, pursuant to the terms of the LOI."


Related Party Disclosure

IAMGOLD currently holds approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding common
shares of Tolima, and is considered an "Insider" within the meaning of the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSV-V"). 


Due to IAMGOLD's approximate 13% share ownership in Tolima, IAMGOLD is also a
"Related Party" to Tolima within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
("MI 61-101"), and the Amending Agreement constitutes a "Related Party
Transaction" for Tolima. Tolima is exempt from the formal valuation requirements
and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 since the fair
market value of theconsideration received by Tolima pursuant to the Amending
Agreement does not exceed 25% of Tolima's market capitalization. The terms of
the Amending Agreement have been considered by each member of the board of
directors of Tolima and have been unanimously approved. The Company intends to
file a material change report more than twenty-one days prior to the entering
into of the Amending Agreement. Tolima was not in a position to file a material
change report more than twenty one days in advance of the entering into of the
Amending Agreement as the details of the transaction were settled on an
expedited basis for sound business reasons.
