In this gutsy speech first recorded at The Northern Miner's Progressive Mine Forum in late 2017, Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) president and CEO Steve Letwin speaks about the need to be ever-vigilant with regards to cost control and innovation when running a business - and what calamities can happen if you're not.

This is an encore broadcast of Steve's keynote in honour of his upcoming appearance at The Northern Miner's Canadian Mining Symposium to be held at Canada House in London, U.K., in late May.

Other featured speakers at the upcoming symposium include: Mark Bristow, president and CEO of Barrick Gold; David Harquail, CEO of Franco-Nevada and chairman of the World Gold Council; Peter Marrone, executive chairman of Yamana Gold; and Eira Thomas, president and CEO of Lucara Diamond.
