The Meliadine mine is Agnico Eagle's second mine in Canada's Arctic region, opening nine years after the Meadowbank mine.

Located near the western shore of Hudson Bay in the Kivalliq District of Nunavut, Meliadine began commercial production in May 2019. Mining is carried out through several underground mining operations and open pits. There are numerous opportunities to create additional value at Meliadine, both at the mine and on the large regional land package.

The mill employs a conventional gold circuit comprised of crushing, grinding, gravity separation and cyanide leaching with a carbon-in-leach circuit, followed by cyanide destruction and filtration of the tailings for dry stacking.

Highlights

  • The Company's large land position at Meliadine stretches approximately 80 km west to east and encompasses the main gold-mineralized fault system in the Rankin Inlet greenstone belt. The property hosts seven gold deposits within the 20-km central portion of the belt plus substantial regional exploration potential.

  • Meliadine was recognized for its 2023 health and safety performance and received the John T. Ryan Regional award from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum for the second consecutive year – awarded to a metal mine for the Prairie Provinces and Territories which experienced the lowest reportable injury frequency in 2023.

  • In November 2024, Meliadine achieved the milestone of 2 million ounces of gold poured since the mine began production.
