AGNICO EAGLE APPROVES HOPE BAY INVESTMENT DECISION; STRONG ECONOMIC RETURNS WITH EXPECTED ANNUAL GOLD PRODUCTION OF OVER 400,000 OUNCES

Tue, 19 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)

(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, May 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to report a positive investment decision for its Hope Bay project, located in Nunavut, Canada. Following significant exploration success in recent years, the Company has completed a preliminary economic assessment (the "2026 Study") which contemplates an underground mining operation supported by a 6,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") processing facility with estimated annual gold production of between 400,000 and 435,000 ounces. The 2026 Study outlines an initial mine life of 11 years, with substantial upside potential from regional exploration across the highly prospective 80-kilometre greenstone belt extending south from the Doris mine to the Boston deposit, where the Company continues to pursue an aggressive exploration program.

"We are incredibly proud of our team for transforming Hope Bay from a vision into one of Canada's most important new mines in just five years. With expected annual production of over 400,000 ounces and total cash costs below $1,000 per ounce, based on only half the declared mineral resources drilled, Hope Bay has the potential to evolve into a long-life, district-scale mining camp for decades to come," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The construction and redevelopment of Hope Bay will support the long‑term sustainability of our Nunavut operating platform at between 800,000 ounces and one million ounces of annual gold production and represents the first major milestone toward delivering our targeted 20% to 30% production growth over the next decade. We are also proud that this investment will contribute to the economic development of Northern Canada and enable meaningful, long‑term economic participation for Indigenous organizations and partners, including the Kitikmeot Inuit Association," added Mr. Al-Joundi.

Highlights from the 2026 Study include:

Development of the next large-scale gold mine in Nunavut
- Large and high-quality mineral resource base of 5.79 million ounces of gold (31.97 million tonnes grading 5.63 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold) in the measured and indicated category and 3.33 million ounces of gold (17.33 million tonnes grading 5.97 g/t gold) in the inferred category
- An initial 11‑year mine life which incorporates only approximately 55% of measured and indicated mineral resources and 48% of inferred mineral resources, highlighting substantial upside potential. With continued infill and expansion drilling, the Hope Bay project demonstrates strong prospects to extend mine life and further grow its production profile
- Startup plan contemplates three mining fronts (Doris at the Doris deposit; and Madrid and Patch 7 at the Madrid deposit) supported by a conventional 6,000 tpd milling facility
- Average annual steady state gold production of approximately 435,000 ounces and an average of approximately 408,000 ounces over the full initial 11-year mine life
Attractive economics with meaningful upside leverage
- Initial development capital expenditures¹ are estimated at approximately $2.4 billion, including reconstruction of the processing facility, addition of a 37 megawatt diesel generator power plant, mobile equipment, upgrades to the tailings facility and approximately 33 kilometres in underground development, positioning the operation for multi-decade potential
- Cost structure is below the Company's current peer-leading cost profile, with projected average total cash costs per ounce² and all in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce² of approximately $958 and $1,214, respectively, using current gold prices of $4,500 per ounce and a C$/US$ exchange rate of 1.36
- In this initial phase, the Hope Bay project is expected to generate an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of approximately 26% based on the same assumptions
- Significant exploration upside is expected to extend mine life through mineral resource conversion and expansion drilling at the Doris and Madrid deposits in the short-term and the potential addition of Boston as a satellite deposit in the medium- to long-term
Project significantly de-risked and execution-ready
- Detailed engineering is approximately 62% complete, providing a high level of confidence in the capital cost estimate and execution plan
- Significant surface infrastructure upgrades completed, including enhancements to port facilities, camp infrastructure and water management systems, supporting the ramp-up of construction activities
- Leveraging the Company's nearly 20 years of proven expertise in Arctic mine construction and operations
- Key underground access points are advanced, including the Naartok East exploration ramp and the Patch 7 exploration portal and ramp
- Continued aggressive exploration program planned in the coming years across the broader Hope Bay property

"Over nearly 20 years, we have consistently created value through the drill bit across our Nunavut assets. At Hope Bay, the discovery of the new mineralized zone at Patch 7 was transformative, with high‑grade and thick mineralized intercepts defining a new mining area within the Madrid deposit. This success reflects the strength and agility of our exploration team, which quickly identified this high‑potential opportunity following the acquisition of the project and delivered results through an aggressive and well‑executed exploration program over the last five years," said Guy Gosselin, Agnico Eagle's Executive Vice President, Exploration. "Patch 7 underscores the significant exploration upside of the Hope Bay greenstone belt, and we remain highly encouraged by the opportunity to continue growing mineral resources both at depth and laterally at Doris and Madrid in the near term, at the Boston deposit in the medium-to long-term and continue to unlock further value across the highly prospective 80‑kilometre belt," added Mr. Gosselin.

Significant exploration potential to grow underground mineral resources
- The 2026 Study is based on a mineral resource estimate which relies on a drill database cut-off of August 28, 2025. The Company has since drilled more than 130 holes totalling over 100,000 metres at Hope Bay to the end of April 2026 in an ongoing exploration program. Recent exploration results show the potential to significantly expand the underground mineral resource between Suluk and Patch 7, to the south of Patch 7 towards Patch 14, and at depth
- Over the next three years, as part of the Company's exploration budget, more than $100 million in exploration spending is planned at Hope Bay, primarily focused on conversion and expansion drilling of the current underground mineral resource. Work in 2026 includes continued testing and extension of the Patch 7 zone and the resumption of diamond drilling at Boston
Continue to enhance value through optimization studies and regional exploration focus
- The Boston deposit is located approximately 50 kilometres south of the Madrid deposit and hosts approximately 1.01 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (5.48 million tonnes grading 5.72 g/t gold) and 0.47 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (2.85 million tonnes grading 5.14 g/t gold). It contains some of the highest-grade intersections identified at Hope Bay to date and remains open in all directions. Resuming exploration efforts at Boston aims to test known gold mineralization in the southern portion of the Hope Bay greenstone belt, exploring the gap between Madrid and Boston where fertile rocks and structures are expected to potentially increase economic mineralization
- Ongoing district‑scale exploration across Hope Bay's extensive land position will focus on satellite targets and the highly prospective corridor between the Madrid and Boston deposits. This area, which lies along the same greenstone belt and major deformation zones, has seen only limited shallow drilling historically and is expected to be a core focus of the Company's exploration strategy in the coming years, alongside continued advancement of the Boston deposit. Regional work will also incorporate geophysics, geochemistry, and modern exploration techniques to refine targeting and support the identification of additional deposits across the belt

The Company recognizes the alignment between its investment in the redevelopment of Hope Bay and Canada's focus on advancing strategic resource development in the North. The Hope Bay project is expected to generate significant long-term benefits for Canada, including an estimated C$2.6 billion annually in exports, the creation of more than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs, and meaningful economic participation for Indigenous organizations and partners, including the Kitikmeot Inuit Association ("KIA"). Agnico Eagle welcomes the federal government's C$25 million funding commitment to the Hope Bay Wind Project, led by Inuit-owned Kitikmeot Tugliq Limited Partnership, which will add four megawatts of wind power and four megawatts of battery storage to the site's power system. This project is expected to reduce diesel consumption by approximately three million litres per year, lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security as Hope Bay advances into construction and operation phases.

"Canadians have been talking about the massive opportunity of the Hope Bay deposit since the 1990s – but the time for talking is over, and it's time to build. Our government welcomes the ambition of this project and is pleased to support the accompanying opportunity for both clean energy development and energy security. The Arctic is the place where natural resource wealth, Indigenous leadership, national security, and economic growth and prosperity come together, and by accelerating our efforts on all those fronts, we not only can build Canada Strong, but we will build Canada Strong," said the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Canada.

2026 Study Economic Analysis and Operating and Financial Highlights

The forecast parameters surrounding the 2026 Study were based on a preliminary economic assessment, that is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the forecast production amounts will be realized. The basis for the preliminary economic assessment and the qualifications and assumptions made by the qualified persons who undertook the preliminary economic assessment are set out below.

The Company believes Hope Bay has the potential to produce an annual average of approximately 435,000 ounces of gold during steady state production, with initial production possible as early as 2030. Over an expected 11-year mine life, a total of approximately 22.8 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 6.50 g/t gold is expected to be milled, yielding total gold production of approximately 4.5 million ounces.

Using a gold price of $3,600 per ounce and a C$/US$ exchange rate of 1.35, the Hope Bay project's total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce are expected to be approximately $942 and $1,199, respectively. Initial capital costs are estimated at approximately $2.4 billion. Total sustaining capital expenditures³ are estimated at approximately $1.1 billion. On this basis, the Hope Bay project is expected to yield an after-tax IRR of 19% and an after-tax net present value ("NPV") of approximately $2.7 billion (at a 5% discount rate).

Using current gold prices of $4,500 per ounce and a C$/US$ exchange rate of 1.36, the Hope Bay project's total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce are expected to be approximately $958 and $1,214, respectively. Initial capital costs are estimated at approximately $2.4 billion. Total sustaining capital expenditures are estimated at approximately $1.1 billion. On this basis, the Hope Bay project is expected to generate an after-tax IRR of 26% and an after-tax NPV of approximately $4.3 billion (at a 5% discount rate).

The initial capital costs of approximately $2.4 billion comprise approximately $1.5 billion related to surface infrastructure, primarily for the reconstruction of the processing plant and the addition of a 37 megawatt diesel power plant, approximately $0.7 billion related to underground development and underground infrastructure at Doris, Madrid and Patch 7 mining fronts and approximately $0.2 billion related to mobile equipment.

Additional details regarding the project are set out below.

Taxes, NTI Payments and Royalties

The Hope Bay project is subject to Canadian income taxes at a 27% rate (15% federal and 12% Nunavut) and applicable mining royalties in the Nunavut Territory. The Hope Bay property is situated on both Crown Mining Leases and Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. ("NTI") exploration concessions. Production from the Madrid North deposit is subject to a net profits royalty payable under the Crown royalty regime in accordance with the Nunavut Mining Regulations ("NMR"). The royalty rate is based on a sliding scale to a maximum of 13%. The Doris deposit and Patch 7 zone are subject to a similar royalty payable to NTI ("NTI Payments"). The NMR royalties will be reflected in the income tax and effective tax rate while the NTI Payments will be reflected in production cost but excluded from total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce. Additionally, production from the Hope Bay property is subject to net smelter return royalties of 2.4% (1.4% to Kitikmeot Inuit Association and 1% to Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp.).

Hope Bay Project Description

The Hope Bay project is located in the Kitikmeot region of Western Nunavut, Canada, approximately 125 kilometres southwest of Cambridge Bay and east of Bathurst Inlet, about 160 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The project comprises a large, contiguous land package covering approximately 1,951 square kilometres, extending roughly 80 kilometres north–south and 20 kilometres east–west, and includes a combination of Crown mineral claims, Crown mining leases, a production lease, and land access agreements providing surface and subsurface mineral rights on Inuit‑owned lands.

Hope Bay hosts the Doris, Madrid and Boston deposits, which contain orogenic‑style gold mineralization associated with major deformation zones within the Hope Bay greenstone belt. The Company's broader Hope Bay property portfolio encompasses the Hope Bay greenstone belt and the adjacent Elu greenstone belt, together representing a highly prospective district‑scale land position.

[Hope Bay – Property and Regional Geology Map]

Mineral exploration in the Hope Bay area started in 1964, focusing first on silver prospects and then turning to gold following the discovery of the Boston, Doris and Madrid gold deposits in the 1990s under the operatorship of BHP Minerals Canada Limited. Miramar Hope Bay Limited continued exploration from 2000 to 2007, then Newmont Mining Corporation took over the project and proceeded with advanced exploration until 2011. TMAC Resources Inc. acquired the Hope Bay project in 2013. TMAC developed the Doris deposit beginning in 2015, with a planned mining and processing rate of approximately 2,000 tpd. Commercial production was declared in 2017, and a total of 475,331 ounces of gold were produced at an average grade of 9.56 g/t gold through September 2021. Agnico Eagle acquired TMAC and the Hope Bay project in February 2021 and put the mining operations on care and maintenance in September 2021 to focus on exploration, leading to a renewed and enhanced vision for the project highlighted in this news release.

The property hosts substantial existing infrastructure, including underground mine development at Doris and Boston and exploration ramps at Madrid. Key surface facilities are comprised of a processing plant (now dismantled), a tailings impoundment area, a gravel airstrip at Doris (capable of accommodating Boeing 737 aircraft) and a secondary airstrip at Boston. The site is further supported by an expanded port at Roberts Bay with associated laydown and fuel storage facilities, an all-weather road network, a diesel power generation plant and an office and accommodation complex.

2026 Study Reflects Significant Exploration Results and Project Advancement Since Early 2021

Since acquiring Hope Bay, Agnico Eagle focused its efforts on evaluating the exploration upside at the Doris and Madrid deposits, and initial results from the 2021 exploration program confirmed that both deposits remained open in multiple directions and demonstrated strong potential to materially increase mineral resources and future mineral reserves.

Exploration success continued through subsequent programs. At Doris, underground and surface drilling in 2022 targeted the BTD Connector and BTD Central zones and nearby mineralized areas, delivering additional confidence in mineral resource continuity. At Madrid, surface drilling tested the inflexion structure and depth extensions of known zones, including beneath Patch 7, where drilling intersected high‑grade mineralization in a previously untested area, highlighting significant growth potential.

In 2023 and 2024, exploration focused on Madrid, particularly the Suluk and Patch 7 zones. Step-out drilling identified wide, high-grade gold intercepts within newly defined mineralization in the gap between the Suluk and Patch 7 zones, extending Patch 7 by approximately 500 metres vertically and 900 metres laterally. As at May 19, 2026, the Patch 7 zone hosted 1.0 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (4.7 million tonnes grading 6.78 g/t gold) and 1.7 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (8.0 million tonnes grading 6.57 g/t gold). This success supported the potential for Patch 7 to become a new mining front and a key component of the Hope Bay redevelopment plan. Continued drilling delivered wide, high-grade intercepts at Patch 7 at depths beyond current mineral resources, including one of the deepest intercepts recorded to date, reinforcing confidence in the long-term growth potential of Hope Bay.

Building on the exploration success at Patch 7 and the confirmation of redevelopment potential, the Company has been accelerating upgrades to Hope Bay's surface infrastructure since 2024. Key enhancements included the expansion of camp facilities with the installation of three new camp wings to date (the six wings are expected to be completed by the second half of 2027), which will support up to 810 personnel during the construction phase. Other enhancements include upgrading the port jetty to accommodate the unloading of up to nine vessels during the six‑ to eight‑week sealift season, dismantling of equipment in the existing mill building and advancing site earthworks to support future infrastructure. In parallel, additional construction equipment and service infrastructure have been mobilized and delivered to site, positioning the project for the next phase of redevelopment.

Exploration Success Reinforced Large Mineral Resource Base

The mineral resource estimate for the Hope Bay project has been updated to May 19, 2026, from the previous estimate at year-end 2025. The new mineral resource estimate employs an improved mining concept with updated assumptions to reflect progress in project studies and optimization efforts. In the updated mineral resource estimate that was completed in May 2026, previously declared mineral reserves have been reclassified as mineral resources. These mineral resources are supported by a positive preliminary economic assessment that includes both indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, that was completed in May 2026. As additional conversion drilling in the Patch 7 zone is completed through the remainder of the year, the Company anticipates that a portion of the indicated and inferred mineral resources included in the current study will be converted into probable mineral reserves at year-end 2026.

The mineral resource estimate is based on the Doris database, which was closed on October 13, 2023; the Madrid database, which was closed on August 28, 2025; and the Boston database, which was closed in August 2017. Between August 2025 and the end of April 2026, the Company completed more than 130 diamond drill holes at Madrid and across the broader project area, totalling more than 100,000 metres of drilling, with further drilling currently ongoing. The results from this program, together with planned conversion drilling, are expected to be incorporated into the next mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate to be released at year‑end 2026.

A summary of the mineral resources at Hope Bay as at May 19, 2026, as well as the mineral resource included in the 2026 Study production profile are set out in the table below. Additional details on the Hope Bay mineral reserves and mineral resources as at December 31, 2025, are set out in the Company's news release dated February 12, 2026.

Notes:
1.	Variances in totalled amounts are due to rounding.
2.	The Hope Bay mineral resources as at May 19, 2026, are reported at cut-off grade varying between 3.20 and 3.26 g/t gold. The gold price used in the calculation of the cut-off grade is $2,000 per ounce and the C$/US$ exchange rate is 1.34. Underground measured and indicated mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal and external dilution. Inferred mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal dilution. No mining recovery is applied.
3.	The Hope Bay mineral resources used in the 2026 Study are reported at a cut-off grade of 4.28 g/t gold. The gold price used in the calculation of the cut-off grade is $1,600 per ounce and the C$/US$ exchange rate is 1.34. Underground measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal and external dilution, and a mining recovery of 92% is applied.

Approximately 66% of the ore (based on contained gold) included in the mine plan is categorized as measured and indicated mineral resources, providing a high geological confidence of the mineable resource and de-risking future production. With only 55% and 48% of the total measured and indicated mineral resources and the total inferred mineral resources, respectively, included in the mine plan, the Hope Bay project shows strong potential to continue to extend and grow its production profile with continued infill drilling and exploration drilling, which the Company expects will lead to further addition of mineral resources during Hope Bay's mine life.

2026 Study Mining and Processing Strategy

The Hope Bay property is a remote, self‑sufficient operation. All power requirements are currently met on site through diesel‑powered generation. The workforce is primarily sourced from Yellowknife, southern Canada and communities in the Western Arctic, including Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk and surrounding regions, with all personnel transported to the site by air.

The mining strategy for the Hope Bay project is designed to concurrently develop and mine the Doris, Madrid (Madrid North and Naartok zones) and Patch 7 mining fronts, enhancing overall productivity while reducing operational and execution risk. All three mining fronts are expected to be mined using conventional underground mining methods, primarily long-hole open stoping, which is well suited to Hope Bay's sub‑vertical, steeply dipping mineralization hosted in generally competent rock.

Underground access to each mining sector is provided by a main decline ramp. The Doris mine has been developed to a depth of approximately 400 metres, providing access to multiple mineralized zones and positioning the operation for a rapid restart of underground mining activities. At the Madrid mining front, the excavation of an exploration ramp started in November 2024, reaching a depth of approximately 120 metres as of May 19, 2026. At the Patch 7 mining front, preliminary preparations for the portal for the exploration ramp are underway, with underground development expected to commence in the third quarter of 2026. The exploration ramps at both Madrid and Patch 7 are being constructed as permanent infrastructure and have been sized to support anticipated production operations.

At Doris, Madrid and Patch 7, mining will be a mix of transverse mining and longitudinal stoping. At Madrid and Patch 7, sub-level spacing will range from 25 to 30 metres depending on the dip and thickness of the ore zone. At Doris, sub-level spacing will range from 15 to 25 metres depending on the dip and thickness of the ore zone. The mining sequence will advance multiple stoping fronts in a bottom-up configuration. Primary and sill stopes will be backfilled with cemented rockfill, while secondary stopes will be backfilled with waste rock.

The project is expected to use a combination of conventional and automated equipment, similar to that which is currently used at the Company's mines in Nunavut and in the Abitibi region of Quebec and Ontario. The mining plan outlined in the 2026 Study envisions a four‑year development period from 2026 to 2029. Gold production is expected to commence in 2030, with the throughput rate ramping-up to its design capacity of 6,000 tpd in 2032.

The processing plant is expected to employ a conventional milling flowsheet, comprising crushing, grinding, a gravity recovery circuit, flotation, regrinding, and leaching of both flotation concentrates and tailings, followed by detoxification and tailings dewatering. The plant is designed for a throughput capacity of 6,000 tpd with an expected run time of 92% and is expected to achieve an average overall gold recovery of approximately 94.0%. The thickened tailings will be pumped and disposed at the tailings storage facility, located approximately 1.5 kilometres from the processing plant.

Nunavut is a region where the Company believes it has a demonstrated competitive advantage, and the Hope Bay project is expected to benefit from the Company's in-house technical expertise, established local workforce, and regional infrastructure and operating synergies. Agnico Eagle's strong presence in Nunavut, supported by almost 20 years of experience building and operating three mines in the region, is expected to reduce execution risk during both the construction and operating phases of the project.

Permitting and Community Relations

The Hope Bay project has the environmental permits and production lease in place to support construction. Updates to the water license and remaining permits to support the production phase are currently in progress.

The Hope Bay Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement ("IIBA") between the Company and the KIA has been in place since 2015 and remains effective through 2035. The IIBA provides a comprehensive framework governing exploration, development, operations and closure of the Hope Bay project in accordance with the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, supporting Inuit participation through employment, training and business opportunities, joint oversight committees and strong environmental stewardship. As the Hope Bay project advances, the Company and the KIA are also working collaboratively to develop a future‑focused framework agreement to address benefits over the longer term, reinforcing a commitment to ongoing dialogue, partnership and collaboration throughout the life of the project, while providing long‑term certainty, financial predictability and sustained benefits for Inuit stakeholders and the Company.

Significant Upside in the Short, Medium and Long Terms through the Exploration Potential

More than 1.6 million metres of drilling have been completed since 1991 at the Hope Bay project. Since Agnico Eagle's acquisition of the Hope Bay project in February 2021, the Company has completed more than 1,239 diamond drill holes totalling 522,634 metres. A summary of the exploration activities at Hope Bay since 1991 is provided in the Appendix of this news release.

The main objectives of the Hope Bay exploration program in 2026 are to convert inferred mineral resources at Patch 7 into indicated mineral resources, to further test the entire Madrid deposit to expand and upgrade mineral resource, and to investigate the mineral potential of the wider property through regional exploration.

The Company expects to spend approximately $43.4 million for 110,000 metres of drilling at Hope Bay in 2026, including $29.0 million for 70,000 metres of expensed drilling and $14.4 million for 40,000 metres of capitalized drilling for mineral resources conversion. The second half of 2026 will see exploration activities testing the depth potential below the currently planned Madrid and Patch 7 mining fronts following newly added deep drilling capacity, as well as targets south of the Patch 7 zone, and at the Boston deposit.

Doris

The Doris deposit is subdivided into multiple gold zones including Connector, West Valley and Central at shallower underground depths and BTD Extension, BTD Connector and BTD Central at greater depths below the dike, as set out in the composite longitudinal section below.

Results from the intensive surface and underground drilling programs in 2021 and 2022 at Doris indicated that the mineralized zones are open in multiple directions with excellent potential to increase mineral resources and future mineral reserves.

[Doris Deposit at Hope Bay – Composite Longitudinal Section]

Madrid

At the Madrid deposit, gold mineralization within the main zones of Naartok, Suluk and Patch 7 is generally hosted in quartz-carbonate stockwork and shear-related veins.

Since 2023, exploration drilling at Hope Bay has mostly centered on the Madrid deposit with a focus on mineral resource expansion and conversion of the Naartok and Suluk zones and, south of Suluk, exploration drilling that led to the discovery of substantial mineralized extensions of the Patch 7 zone.

During the first quarter of 2026 at Madrid, exploration drilling using six surface drill rigs totalled 32,647 metres with work focused on mineral resource conversion and expansion at the Patch 7 and Suluk zones.

Drilling into the Patch 7 zone continued to demonstrate the strong continuity of high-grade mineralization within the zone. Additionally, recent highlights of hole HBM26-420 intersecting 6.8 g/t gold over 11.6 metres at 412 metres depth and hole HBM26-426 intersecting 9.5 g/t gold over 8.6 metres at 423 metres depth demonstrated significant mineralization south of the main Patch 7 zone. This shows that the Patch 7 zone remains fully open for expansion to the south towards the Patch 14 and Wolverine zones.

In deep drilling down-plunge of the main mineralized body at Patch 7, hole HBM25-421 intersected 10.3 g/t gold over 2.8 metres at 932 metres depth and below current inferred mineral resources, further demonstrating the potential to add high-grade mineral resources at depth in Patch 7.

Farther north in the gap between the Suluk and Patch 7 zones, recent highlights included hole HBM26-432 intersecting 11.3 g/t gold over 3.5 metres at 149 metres depth and hole HBM26-437 intersecting 27.7 g/t gold over 2.9 metres at 178 metres depth, demonstrating the strong potential to increase indicated mineral resources at relatively shallow depths in proximity to proposed mining infrastructure.

Selected recent drill intersections from the Madrid deposit are set out in the composite longitudinal section and plan map below and in a table in the Appendix.

[Madrid Deposit at Hope Bay – Plan Map]

Boston

Gold mineralization in the Boston deposit is hosted by mafic and felsic volcanic rocks that are complexly folded and overlain by sedimentary rocks.

Previous exploration drilling below the current mineral resource envelope at Boston has intersected high-grade mineralization as demonstrated by the 2019 exploration drilling program by TMAC that intersected 24.5 g/t gold over 3.5 metres at 430 metres depth in hole TMBBO-19-0001 as well as historical drilling in 2003 by Miramar Hope Bay Limited that intersected 27.9 g/t gold over 8.8 metres at 1,014 metres depth in hole HB-S03-293 (both intersections were previously publicly disclosed, including in the Company's news release dated February 23, 2022). The Company believes that resuming drilling has the potential to add to the mineral resources at Boston.

[Boston Deposit at Hope Bay – Composite Longitudinal Section]

Regional Exploration

The Company is also advancing a substantial regional exploration program that is systematically investigating more than 90 regional targets on the Hope Bay property, comprised of diamond drilling, geological mapping, till sampling, lake sediment surveys and airborne and ground geophysical surveys. In 2026, regional exploration will specifically target the portion of the Hope Bay greenstone belt between Madrid and Boston.

The mineral potential of the Hope Bay greenstone belt is supplemented by the neighbouring under-explored Elu greenstone belt to the east, which Agnico Eagle plans to investigate with an airborne gravity survey this year.

Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance

This news release discloses certain financial performance measures and ratios, including "total cash costs per ounce", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce", "sustaining capital expenditures", "development capital expenditures", and "minesite costs per tonne" that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold mining companies.

For a discussion of the composition and usefulness of certain of these non-GAAP measures, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" in the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis for the period ended March 31, 2026.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains information regarding estimated future total cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs per ounce, minesite costs per tonne, development capital expenditures and sustaining capital expenditures. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce, all-in sustaining costs, minesite costs per tonne, development capital expenditures and sustaining capital expenditures that the Company expects to incur to mine gold the Hope Bay project and do not include certain costs that will vary over time as each project is developed and mined. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Notes to Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral Resources

The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in this news release have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators' (the "CSA") National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

The SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties now more closely align with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101; however Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS"), such as the Company, may still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC disclosure requirements when using the SEC's MJDS registration statement and annual report forms. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.

Investors are cautioned that while the SEC recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable.

Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable.

The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. The Company does not include equivalent gold ounces for by-product metals contained in mineral reserves in its calculation of contained ounces. Mineral reserves are not reported as a subset of mineral resources.

Mineral reserves are reported exclusive of mineral resources. Tonnage amounts and contained metal amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, so may not aggregate to equal column totals. Mineral reserves are in-situ, taking into account all mining recoveries, before mill or heap leach recoveries. Underground mineral reserves and measured and indicated mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal and external dilution. Inferred mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and, unless otherwise noted, include internal dilution. Mineable shape optimization parameters may differ for mineral reserves and mineral resources. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

AGNICO EAGLE ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

Mon, 04 May 2026 08:30:00 -0400

(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle") announced today that further to its news release dated April 30, 2026, it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") of Agnico Eagle's notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB").

Under the NCIB, Agnico Eagle may purchase for cancellation, on the open market at its discretion, during the period commencing on May 6, 2026 and ending on the earlier of May 5, 2027 and the completion of purchases under the NCIB, up to the lesser of: (i) 25,024,469 common shares of Agnico Eagle ("Common Shares"), which is 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; and (ii) that number of Common Shares that can be purchased by Agnico Eagle under the NCIB for an aggregate purchase price, excluding commissions, of not more than $2,000,000,000, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. Based on the closing share price of $188.21 on April 30, 2026, 10,626,428 Common Shares would be purchasable under the NCIB, representing approximately 2.12% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of April 30, 2026. As of April 30, 2026, Agnico Eagle had 500,489,369 issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Daily purchases on the TSX under the NCIB will be limited to 264,928 Common Shares, other than purchases made pursuant to the block purchase exception, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 1,059,711 on the TSX for six months ending March 31, 2026. The actual number of Common Shares which may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the management of Agnico Eagle, subject to applicable law and the rules of the TSX. Purchases under the NCIB are expected to be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange and alternative trading systems in Canada or the United States, at prevailing market prices. The NCIB will be funded using Agnico Eagle's existing cash resources, and any Common Shares repurchased by Agnico Eagle under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Agnico Eagle believes that its NCIB is a flexible and complementary tool that, together with its quarterly dividend, is part of Agnico Eagle's overall capital allocation program and generates value for shareholders. Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, including market conditions and share price. Agnico Eagle may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws.

Agnico Eagle has established an automatic share purchase plan in connection with its NCIB to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares during times when Agnico Eagle would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed black-out periods. Before entering a black-out period, Agnico Eagle may, but is not required to, instruct the broker to make purchases under the NCIB based on parameters set by Agnico Eagle in accordance with the share purchase plan, TSX rules and applicable securities laws. The plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be effective May 10, 2026.

Under Agnico Eagle's prior NCIB, which commenced on May 4, 2025 and ended on May 3, 2026, Agnico Eagle obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 25,174,240 Common Shares, of which 4,472,799 Common Shares were purchased through the facilities of the TSX and the New York Stock Exchange at a weighted-average price of approximately $162.8272 (excluding commissions) per Common Share.

AGNICO EAGLE REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS, INCLUDING RECORD QUARTERLY OPERATING MARGINS AND ADJUSTED NET INCOME

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0400

Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)

(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, April 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2026.

"We delivered a solid start to 2026, achieving record operating margins while production and costs tracked well to plan. With gold production expected to be weighted to a stronger second half of the year, we are managing cost volatility through disciplined execution and asset optimization, supported by our regional operating model. This positions us well to deliver on our full year guidance," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited by the strong progress across our industry leading growth pipeline and are beginning to look beyond the 20–30% production growth already expected over the next decade, with our recently announced proposed acquisitions in Finland marking a milestone in our next phase of long-term growth. At the same time, we remain committed to returning value to shareholders, through our dividend and the expansion of our share repurchase program."

First quarter 2026 highlights:

Solid quarterly performance, in line with plan – Payable gold production¹ was 825,109 ounces, representing approximately 24% of the mid-point of the full year production guidance, at production costs per ounce of $1,158, total cash costs per ounce² of $1,093 and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce² of $1,483. The solid operating performance was led by Detour Lake, Canadian Malartic and Fosterville
Record quarterly operating margins and adjusted net income – Solid production, combined with higher realized gold prices of $4,861 per ounce in the first quarter, resulted in record operating margins and adjusted net income. The Company reported quarterly net income of $1,695 million or $3.39 per share and record adjusted net income³ of $1,706 million or $3.41 per share. The Company generated cash provided by operating activities of $1,346 million or $2.69 per share and free cash flow³ of $732 million or $1.46 per share, which included the impact of a $1.3 billion payment for the remaining cash tax liability related to the 2025 taxation year. Total cash taxes paid in the first quarter were $1.8 billion, approximately 50% of the expected cash taxes for 2026
Financial strength continues to grow through robust cash generation – The Company increased its cash balance by $246 million to $3,112 million as at March 31, 2026, resulting in a net cash⁴ position of $2,915 million with total debt outstanding of $197 million as at March 31, 2026. Reflecting this strong financial profile, Fitch Ratings upgraded the Company's long-term issuer default rating from BBB+ to A‑ in April 2026
Annual gold production and cost guidance reiterated – Full year expected payable gold production in 2026 remains unchanged at 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces, with production now weighted approximately 48% to the first half of the year and 52% to the second half. Full year total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce in 2026 remain unchanged at $1,020 to $1,120 and $1,400 to $1,550, respectively. While the Company is subject to cost uncertainty, including fuel price volatility as a result of ongoing geopolitical events, the Company's regional operating strategy, focused on local procurement and resilient supply chains, is expected to mitigate potential cost impacts. Further details are set out in the 2026 Guidance Summary section below
Continued commitment to shareholder returns and expected renewal and increase of NCIB – The Company returned a total of $375 million to shareholders during the first quarter of 2026, including the declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share and the repurchase of 721,211 common shares under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Share repurchases were completed at an average price of $207.68 per share for total consideration of $150 million. As previously disclosed, the Company intends to seek approval from the TSX to renew the NCIB for another year on substantially the same terms, with an increase to its internal limit on purchases of common shares to $2 billion. Additional details will be provided at the time of the renewal
2025 Sustainability Report published – The Company released its 17^th annual Sustainability Report on April 30, 2026, demonstrating its commitment to operating in a safe, sustainable and environmentally responsible manner
Update on key value drivers and pipeline projects in the first quarter of 2026

- Canadian Malartic – Production from the East Gouldie ramp commenced in March 2026. The development and construction activities continued to progress on schedule, with the main ramp and shaft #1 reaching a depth of 1,151 metres and 1,514 metres, respectively. Construction of the first loading station is on schedule for first production through shaft #1 in the second quarter of 2027. Exploration drilling continued to yield positive results in multiple areas of the Odyssey mine, including 6.7 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 36.0 metres at 1,089 metres depth in the upper eastern portion of the East Gouldie deposit and 9.0 g/t gold over 53.5 metres (core length) at 1,067 metres depth in the internal zones of the Odyssey deposit
- Detour Lake – Development activities for the underground project continued, with the exploration ramp reaching a depth of 147 metres and overburden removal commencing for the conveyor‑ramp portal. High-intensity drilling from surface near the exploration ramp was initiated, with a highlight intercept of 8.9 g/t gold over 14.1 metres at 187 metres depth. Drilling into the West Extension zone had highlights of 10.7 g/t gold over 10.1 metres at 497 metres depth, approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the resource-pit outline, and 10.0 g/t gold over 3.1 metres at 922 metres depth, approximately 2.5 kilometres west of the resource-pit outline
- Upper Beaver – Development of the exploration ramp and shaft continued to advance ahead of schedule, reaching depths of 108 metres and 382 metres, respectively. During the quarter, the Company initiated a high‑intensity drilling program targeting a portion of the Upper Beaver deposit between approximately 500 and 600 metres depth, characterized by intrusion‑suite host rocks, to complement the bulk sample planned at the 760 level
- Hope Bay – Project activities focused on site preparedness for a potential redevelopment, including the addition of a new third wing to the camp, substantial completion of the internal technical evaluation, including advancement of detailed engineering to approximately 55%, and planning for the 2026 sealift season. A construction decision at Hope Bay is expected in May 2026
- San Nicolás – Minas de San Nicolás, which has the potential for base metal production in Mexico, continued to advance engineering and execution strategy, targeting completion of 50% of the engineering by mid-year 2026. Drilling activities progressed with a focus on condemnation drilling and geological evaluation in proximity to the projected mine area
Proposed consolidation of Finland's Central Lapland Greenstone Belt ("CLGB") in three separate transactions – On April 20, 2026, the Company announced a comprehensive consolidation of properties in the CLGB of Northern Finland through the proposed acquisitions of Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert") and Aurion Resources Ltd. ("Aurion") and the acquisition of the 70% interest in Fingold Ventures Ltd. held by B2Gold Corp ("B2Gold"). The Company expects the Rupert and Aurion transactions to be completed late in the second quarter of 2026. The transaction with B2Gold was completed in April 2026
- Through these transactions, the Company expects to build another multi-asset, multi-decade regional platform within its portfolio, create significant value at the Ikkari gold project by leveraging over 20 years of regional experience and unlock multi-layered exploration potential across the consolidated 2,492 km² land package
- It establishes a pathway to transform its Finland platform into an approximately 500,000‑ounce‑per‑year gold production hub within the next decade, and contribute beyond the 20-30% Company‑wide production growth over that period
- The Company will evaluate opportunities to reduce dilution associated with the Rupert transaction, including potentially returning the proceeds of portfolio investment sales to shareholders through share repurchases under the NCIB

AISC per ounce	$ 1,483	$ 1,175

*	Total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been restated using the Company's revised composition for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026. Using the Company's composition of this measure for periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2025, total cash costs per ounce were $903 for the consolidated Company and AISC per ounce was $1,183 for the consolidated Company.
**	Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2026 excludes payable gold production at La India and Creston Mascota of 418 and 76 ounces, respectively, which were produced from residual leaching. Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2025 excludes payable gold production at La India and Creston Mascota of 1,811 ounces and 25 ounces, respectively, which were producing from residual leaching.
***	Payable metals sold at Canadian Malartic, Detour Lake and Macassa exclude the in-kind royalties of 5.0%, 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, paid in respect of gold production at such mines. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, payable metals sold excludes 2,500 payable gold ounces sold at La India.

Gold Production

Gold production decreased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to lower production at Macassa and Meadowbank (lower grades), partially offset by higher production at Detour Lake (higher grades and recoveries).

Production Costs per Ounce

Production costs per ounce increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher royalty costs resulting from higher gold prices, lower gold production and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar between periods.

Total Cash Costs per Ounce

Total cash costs per ounce increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the reasons described above for the increase in production costs per ounce.

AISC per Ounce

AISC per ounce increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period due to the reasons described above for the increase in total cash costs per ounce, higher sustaining capital expenditures, primarily at Macassa and Fosterville, higher non-cash reclamation related costs and higher general and administrative expenses.

Refer to the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis for the first quarter of 2026 (the "MD&A") under the caption "Financial and Operating Results" for additional variance analysis on gold production, production costs, minesite costs per tonne and total cash costs per ounce compared to the prior-year period.

Net income increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to record operating margins resulting from higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower gold sales and higher income and mining taxes.

Net income in the first quarter of 2026 of $1,695 million ($3.39 per share) includes the following items (net of tax): reclamation adjustments of $9 million ($0.02 per share), net gains on derivative financial instruments of $7 million ($0.01 per share), net asset disposal losses of $7 million ($0.01 per share), foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax liabilities of $5 million ($0.01 per share) and other adjustments totaling $3 million ($0.01 per share). Excluding these items results in adjusted net income of $1,706 million or $3.41 per share for the first quarter of 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher revenues from mining operations (higher realized gold prices partially offset by lower gold sales), partially offset by higher production costs (higher royalty costs), higher general and administrative expenses and the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar between periods.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital both increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher operating margins, partially offset by lower gold sales and higher income and mining taxes. Cash provided by operating activities was reduced by unfavourable changes in non-cash working capital balances primarily due to approximately $1.3 billion in cash taxes paid in the quarter relating to the 2025 taxation year. Total cash taxes paid in the first quarter of 2026 were $1.8 billion, representing approximately 50% of the expected cash taxes for 2026.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital both increased in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the reasons described above related to cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by higher development capital expenditures related to Odyssey, Hope Bay and Detour Lake underground pipeline projects.

2026 Guidance Reiterated

In the first three months of 2026, the Company achieved approximately 24% of the mid-point of its full year gold production guidance, while achieving total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce within the guidance range. Based on these results, the Company is reiterating its guidance for the full year 2026. Full year expected payable gold production in 2026 at 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces is now weighted approximately 48% to the first half of the year and 52% to the second half.

A summary of the Company's guidance is set out below.

_____________________________

⁷ The Company's guidance for total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and capital expenditures is forward-looking non-GAAP information. For a description of the composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures and a discussion of revisions that have been made by the Company to the composition of certain of these measures, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.

⁸ The "NTI Payment" is the payment to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. ("NTI") under the Company's mineral production lease in respect of the Amaruq mine at Meadowbank, which is a royalty based on net profits, subject to a minimum profit margin. NTI Payments in this table are reflected on a cash basis with 2026 Guidance based on a gold price assumption of $4,500 per ounce.

Cash Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate continues to be expected to be approximately 34% to 36% for the full year of 2026. Total cash taxes paid in the first quarter of 2026 were $1.8 billion, which included a $1.3 billion payment for the remaining cash tax liability for 2025. This represents approximately 50% of total cash taxes expected for 2026. The remaining cash taxes in 2026 are expected to be paid in quarterly installments ranging between $525 million and $575 million.

Cost Considerations Related to Current Market Uncertainty

While the ongoing conflict in the Middle East introduces uncertainty related to fuel price volatility and the global supply chain, the Company currently anticipates that volatility of fuel and commodity prices and currency exchange rates will be captured within the total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce guidance ranges of $1,020 to $1,120 and $1,400 to $1,550, respectively. Supported by the Company's regional operating strategy, with a focus on local procurement and resilient supply chains, the Company does not currently anticipate any significant risk of disruption to fuel, consumables or parts supplies across its operations. While higher transportation and freight costs are expected to persist amid ongoing uncertainty, the Company continues to actively monitor the situation for any potential impacts.

The Company's full year 2026 cost guidance is based on an assumed diesel benchmark price of $0.78 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes). Including the diesel purchased for the Company's Nunavut operations that was delivered as part of the 2025 sealift, approximately 54% of the Company's total estimated diesel exposure for 2026 is hedged at an average benchmark price of $0.71 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes), which is expected to reduce the Company's exposure to diesel price volatility for the balance of 2026.

Diesel represents approximately 10% of the Company's operating costs, comprising approximately 7% related to direct consumption for mobile equipment and on-site power generation, and approximately 3% related to transportation and freight. With respect to direct diesel consumption, the Company estimates that a 10% change in diesel prices would impact total cash costs per ounce by approximately $4 on a net basis after hedges (approximately $8 excluding the impact of diesel hedges) for the full year 2026. For indirect diesel exposure related to transportation, a 10% change in diesel prices is estimated to impact total cash costs per ounce by approximately $2 net of the fuel sealift to Nunavut.

Currency Hedges

The Company's full year 2026 cost guidance is based on assumed exchange rates of 1.36 C$/US$, 1.18 US$/EUR, 1.40 A$/US$ and 17.50 MXN/US$.

Based on its C$/US$ assumption for 2026 cost estimates, the Company has hedged approximately 42% of its estimated remaining Canadian dollar exposure for 2026 at an average floor price providing protection in respect of exchange rate movements below 1.38 C$/US$, while allowing for participation in respect of exchange rate movements up to an average of 1.42 C$/US$.

The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and anticipates continuing to opportunistically add to its operating currency and diesel hedges to strategically support its key input costs for 2026.

Tariffs

The international trade disputes set in motion in February 2025 by US tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and other actions remain fluid. The Company continues to believe that its revenue structure will be largely unaffected by the tariffs as its gold production is mostly refined in Canada, Australia or Europe. The Company continues to monitor its exposure to the tariffs and trade disputes and its alternatives to inputs sourced from suppliers that are or may become subject to the tariffs or other trade disputes. The cost guidance provided in this news release does not include any potential impact from such tariffs or trade disputes.

Balance Sheet Strength Supported by Strong Net Cash Position; Continued Commitment to Shareholder Returns

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $246 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to cash provided by operating activities resulting from record operating margins (higher realized gold prices partially offset by higher royalty costs). The increase was partially offset by unfavourable changes in non-cash components of working capital (including an approximately $1.3 billion payment of cash taxes related to the 2025 taxation year), $614 million of capital expenditures including working capital adjustments and $375 million returned to shareholders during the quarter through dividends and share repurchases under the NCIB.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company's total long-term debt was $197 million, consistent with the prior quarter. No amounts were outstanding under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility as at March 31, 2026 and available liquidity under the facility remained at approximately $2 billion, not including the uncommitted $1 billion accordion feature.

Net cash increased to $2,915 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter balance of $2,670 million due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents of $246 million. See "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below for the calculation of net cash.

On April 29, 2026, Fitch Ratings upgraded the Company's investment grade credit rating to A- with a Stable Outlook, reflecting the Company's strong operating profile, favorable low cost position and sustained commitment to a strengthening balance sheet. The Company strives to maintain a strong financial position and an investment grade balance sheet.

Shareholder Returns

The Company remains committed to delivering strong returns to shareholders in 2026 through a combination of the dividend and share repurchases under the NCIB, with a target to return approximately 40% of annual free cash flow to shareholders, assuming current gold prices and subject to operational needs.

The Company will evaluate opportunities to reduce the dilution associated with the Rupert transaction, including potentially returning the proceeds of portfolio investment sales to shareholders through share repurchases under the NCIB.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 721,211 common shares under the NCIB at an average price of $207.68 per share for aggregate purchases of $150 million.

The Company believes that its NCIB is a flexible and effective complementary tool that, together with the quarterly dividend, is part of the Company's overall capital allocation program and generates value for shareholders. Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase a maximum of 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares, subject to maximum authorized purchases of $1 billion. Purchases under the NCIB may continue for up to one year from its commencement on May 4, 2025.

The Company intends to seek approval from the TSX to renew the NCIB for another year in May 2026 on substantially the same terms; but intends to increase its internal limit on purchases of common shares to $2 billion. Additional details will be provided at the time of the renewal.

Dividend Record and Payment Dates for the Second Quarter of 2026

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per common share, payable on June 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2026. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.

For almost 70 years, the Company has recognized that long-term success is built through strong relationships with employees, Indigenous Peoples, communities, partners and stakeholders and the Company remains committed to operating in a way that creates shared value for all stakeholders.

Report Highlights:

Strong sustainability performance – The Company continued its "Towards Zero Accidents" initiative by focusing on visible felt leadership, employee training, and risk identification and mitigation. Performance was maintained or improved across many key factors including zero significant environmental incidents and increased employee engagement results
- However, these positive actions were overshadowed by fatal accidents at Fosterville in December 2025 and Canadian Malartic in April 2026. The Company has taken steps to reset its approach to safety, including immediately calling for safety meetings globally, with all employees and contractors, to emphasize that safe production is core to the sustainability and success of our business and that if a job cannot be done safely, it should not be done
Approach to climate change – The Company's continued efforts in decarbonization are focused on energy efficiency, technology transition and increased use of renewable energy. In 2025, the Company maintained its position among gold industry leaders in greenhouse gas emissions performance with an intensity of 0.39 tonnes of CO₂equivalent per ounce of gold produced
Commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous communities – The Company progressed the implementation of its Reconciliation Action Plan, including with the establishment of an Indigenous Advisory Committee, the delivery of over 5,000 hours of Indigenous cultural awareness training to employees and by hosting over 200 Indigenous cultural awareness activities across the Company. This comprehensive approach reinforces the Company's dedication to fostering positive relationships and supporting Indigenous Peoples globally
Investing in communities – Being a trusted and valued member of the communities associated with the Company's operations remains a fundamental principle and priority for the Company. In 2025, the Company's donations to charitable organizations were approximately $11 million and the Company spent approximately $2.0 billion on locally sourced goods and services, approximately $1.2 billion of which went to Indigenous businesses
Mining responsibly – The Company is committed to being a responsible miner and contributing to the sustainable development of the regions in which it operates. The Company upholds recognized international sustainability frameworks, including Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMP), the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHRs) and the Conflict-Free Gold Standard

**	San Nicolás incremental annual production also includes approximately 150,000 to 160,000 tonnes of zinc in first eight years of production and 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes of zinc in subsequent years

Canadian Malartic – Potential for 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of incremental annual gold production

The Company continues to advance the transition to underground mining with the construction of the Odyssey mine, including the development of Odyssey Shaft #1 and is advancing internal evaluations on three projects that, together, have the potential to increase annual gold production, starting in 2033, towards one million ounces. These projects include (i) a second shaft at Odyssey, (ii) the development of a satellite open pit at Marban and (iii) the development of the Wasamac underground project. Marban and Wasamac are located approximately 12 kilometres and 100 kilometres from the Canadian Malartic mill, respectively.

Odyssey Development

In the first quarter of 2026, mine development advanced with a continued focus on the main ramp, which reached a depth of 1,151 metres as of March 31, 2026, and the development of the East Gouldie production levels. Production via ramp from East Gouldie commenced in March 2026, approximately three months ahead of plan. Development remains a priority, with the Company targeting a sustained development rate of approximately 2,000 metres per month, supported by the integration of new development teams and equipment, increased hoisting capacity, optimization of hauling and service activities, and the increased use of automation and autonomous hauling. The excavation of two ventilation raises from surface to level 58 and the construction of the main exhaust fan station also advanced, with commissioning expected in June 2026.

Work continued on the development and construction of the first loading station between levels 102 and 111, including the crushing and material‑handling circuit, shaft loading pocket and maintenance shop. Development activities continue to progress on schedule in support of the planned start of shaft‑hoisted production from East Gouldie in the second quarter of 2027. Shaft sinking activities continued ahead of schedule, with the excavation of the material‑handling infrastructure for the second loading station between levels 137 and 146 now expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and the completion of the first phase of shaft sinking to a planned depth of 1,580 metres now expected at year-end 2026. The shaft reached a depth of 1,514 metres as at March 31, 2026. A second phase of sinking is expected to resume in 2029 and be completed in 2031, extending the shaft to its final expected depth of 1,870 metres. The third loading station, located between levels 172 and 181, is expected to be completed and commissioned in 2031.

Construction of key surface infrastructure progressed, with the operational complex expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and phase two of the paste plant (designed for a 20,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") capacity) expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026. The fabrication of the production hoist is complete and delivery of the various components of the hoist is ongoing, with assembly to start in the second quarter of 2026. Commissioning of the production hoist is expected in the second quarter of 2027.

Odyssey Shaft #2

The Company is advancing an internal technical evaluation of a potential second shaft at the Odyssey mine. Drilling of the geotechnical pilot hole at the planned location has been completed to a depth of 1,800 metres. Current work is focused on mine design and planning, surface layout, headframe design and preparatory activities to support the permitting process. The evaluation is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Exploration at Odyssey

During the first quarter of 2026, 13 surface rigs and 16 underground rigs were in operation, drilling a total of 56,635 metres supplemented by an additional six surface rigs completing 13,455 metres of drilling dedicated to regional exploration around Canadian Malartic, including the Marban project.

Exploration drilling targeted multiple areas of the Odyssey mine, returning positive results in the upper eastern, central, western and deeper areas of the East Gouldie deposit and in the internal zones of the Odyssey deposit.

In the upper eastern extension of the East Gouldie deposit, underground drilling was highlighted by hole UGEG-103-005 intersecting 6.7 g/t gold over 36.0 metres at 1,089 metres depth, including 12.6 g/t gold over 15.3 metres at 1,089 metres depth; and hole UGEG-095-014 intersecting 5.5 g/t gold over 10.3 metres at 1,061 metres depth, 5.8 g/t gold over 9.8 metres at 1,153 metres depth, 5.1 g/t gold over 6.3 metres at 1,175 metres depth and 3.0 g/t gold over 15.8 metres at 1,187 metres depth.

In the Odyssey deposit, conversion drilling encountered significant mineralization in the lower portion of the porphyry in the internal zones, highlighted by hole UGOD-057-012 intersecting 6.1 g/t gold over 12.9 metres (core length) at 1,017 metres depth, including 12.0 g/t gold over 4.9 metres (core length) at 1,020 metres depth, and 9.0 g/t gold over 53.5 metres (core length) at 1,067 metres depth; and hole UGOD-064-019 intersecting 2.8 g/t gold over 27.6 metres (core length) at 992 metres depth, including 5.6 g/t gold over 8.0 metres (core length) at 992 metres depth. The internal zones in the vicinity of the Odyssey North zone will be further investigated in 2026 to help in planning the future mining infrastructure in this area.

Selected recent drill intersections from the Odyssey mine are set out in the composite longitudinal section below and in a table in the Appendix.

[Odyssey – Composite Cross and Longitudinal Sections]

Marban

At the Marban deposit, located approximately 12 kilometres from the Canadian Malartic mill, the Company envisions the potential development of a satellite open pit operating at a planned mining rate between 14,000 to 16,000 tpd and producing approximately 120,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold annually over a mine life of approximately 12 years with the potential for initial production as early as 2033.

During the first quarter of 2026 at Marban, the second phase of an exploration and conversion drilling program completed 29 holes totalling 7,013 metres. The program mainly targeted the northern and eastern extensions of the Marban deposit near and beyond the newly expanded proposed pit outline.

Wasamac

At Wasamac, the Company envisions an underground satellite operation with a planned mining rate of approximately 3,200 tpd. Ore is expected to be transported to the Canadian Malartic mill for processing, with an average annual gold production expected to be approximately 90,000 ounces with the potential for initial production as early as 2033. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company advanced optimization and trade‑off studies alongside permitting activities and engagement with stakeholders.

Detour Lake – Potential for 300,000 to 350,000 ounces of incremental annual gold production

In the first quarter of 2026, excavation of the exploration ramp advanced by 345 metres to a total length of 823 metres, reaching a depth of 147 metres as of March 31, 2026. The Company is ramping up its workforce and integrating additional equipment in preparation for the commencement of multi‑face development expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026. Extension of the exploration ramp to the planned bulk‑sampling location at level 200 is expected to be completed in the first half of 2027.

Other activities supporting the underground project during the first quarter of 2026 included the commencement of overburden excavation for the conveyor ramp portal near the mill, with underground ramp development planned to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Work also progressed on the construction of the camp extension, and detailed engineering was initiated for the paste plant, ore‑handling system and electrical infrastructure.

At Detour Lake during the first quarter of 2026, exploration drilling totalled 39,052 metres. The program continued to expand and infill the mineralization below and to the west of the mineral resource pit. The first underground drill was mobilized during the first quarter of 2026 and completed 726 metres of drilling.

To complement the planned bulk sample at Level 200, the Company has initiated a high-intensity drill program targeting Domain 54, similar to the investigation of Domain 53 in 2025, to validate the continuity of mineralization and improve the accuracy of the geological model. Highlights from the high-intensity drilling included hole DLM26-1299 intersecting 14.0 g/t gold over 2.5 metres at 84 metres depth and 8.9 g/t gold over 14.1 metres at 187 metres depth; and hole DLM26-1313 intersecting 2.9 g/t gold over 23.2 metres at 210 metres depth, including 8.1 g/t gold over 6.0 metres at 218 metres depth and 14.9 g/t gold over 9.0 metres at 238 metres depth.

Drilling in the West Extension zone approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the resource-pit outline continued to extend the underground mineral potential to the west with highlights of hole DLM25-1243 intersecting 28.0 g/t gold over 4.4 metres at 734 metres depth and 11.7 g/t gold over 2.6 metres at 794 metres depth; hole DLM25-1255 intersecting 2.6 g/t gold over 27.4 metres at 669 metres depth; hole DLM25-1274 intersecting 14.0 g/t gold over 2.6 metres at 797 metres depth and 3.6 g/t gold over 9.5 metres at 816 metres depth; and hole DLM25-1245 intersecting 10.7 g/t gold over 10.1 metres at 497 metres depth, including 37.8 g/t gold over 2.6 metres at 501 metres depth.

Drilling that tested the West Extension zone approximately 2.5 kilometres west of the resource-pit outline was highlighted by hole DLM25-1240 intersecting 10.0 g/t gold over 3.1 metres at 922 metres depth.

Selected recent drill intersections from Detour Lake are set out in the composite longitudinal section below and in a table in the Appendix.

[ Detour Lake – Composite Longitudinal Section]

The Company also has a regional exploration program underway at Detour Lake, with $3.7 million budgeted in 2026 for 10,000 metres of drilling that will include condemnation drilling of planned and proposed infrastructure.

Upper Beaver – Potential for 200,000 to 225,000 ounces of annual gold production and 3,600 tonnes of copper

Located approximately 20 kilometres from the Company's Macassa mine, the Upper Beaver project is envisioned as a standalone mine and mill, with the potential to produce 200,000 to 225,000 ounces of gold and 3,600 tonnes of copper per year, based on a planned mining and milling rate of 5,000 tpd.

Development activities continued to advance ahead of schedule in the first quarter of 2026, with the exploration ramp advancing by 514 metres and reaching a depth of 108 metres, and the shaft reaching a depth of 382 metres as at March 31, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, a high-intensity exploration drilling program at a 20-metre spacing focused on a portion of the Upper Beaver deposit between approximately 500 to 600 metres depth that is dominated by vein systems that are representative of the larger deposit. The primary objective of the high-intensity drilling is to validate the mineral resource model and assess grade-variability within the most representative geological zones of the Upper Beaver deposit. This high-intensity drilling program is expected to complement the planned bulk sample at the 760‑metre level and has the potential to bring forward initial production to early 2030.

More than half of the high-intensity drilling program has been completed, starting with Zone 201 and continuing into Zone 107.

Recent highlights from Zone 201 include hole KLUB26-913A intersecting 4.5 g/t gold and 1.07% copper over 4.2 metres at 531 metres depth; hole KLUB26-881W3 intersecting 7.9 g/t gold and 0.98% copper over 6.4 metres at 555 metres depth; hole KLUB26-881W5 intersecting 18.3 g/t gold and 1.19% copper over 2.9 metres at 584 metres depth. In Zone 107, highlight hole KLUB26-915A intersected 45.5 g/t gold and 0.21% copper over 0.9 metres at 535 metres depth.

Selected recent drill intersections from Upper Beaver are set out in the composite longitudinal section below and in a table in the Appendix.

Hope Bay – Potential for 400,000 to 425,000 ounces of annual gold production

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company advanced site preparations to support a potential project redevelopment, including upgrades to camp facilities, with installation of a third camp wing ongoing. During the quarter, the Company focused on completing a technical evaluation for the potential redevelopment, advancing detailed engineering to approximately 55% completion, and progressing planning and procurement activities for the upcoming sealift season, in advance of a potential redevelopment decision expected in May 2026.

In the first quarter of 2026, excavation of the Naartok East exploration ramp at Madrid advanced by 638 metres and reached a depth of 111 metres as of March 31, 2026. In 2026, the exploration ramp will continue to advance for a total of 3.3 kilometers to a depth of 185 metres to facilitate infill and expansion drilling along the Madrid zones. At Patch 7, excavation of the portal boxcut for the dedicated exploration ramp was completed and preparation for ground support activities are underway.

San Nicolás Copper Project (50/50 joint venture with Teck Resources Limited)

Regulatory decisions for the MIA-R (Environmental Impact Assessment) and ETJ (Land Use Change) permits are pending. In the first quarter of 2026, Minas de San Nicolás continued to advance engineering on critical infrastructure to increase confidence in the feasibility study, further de-risk the execution strategy and position the project for a potential sanction decision, subject to receipt of permits. As at March 31, 2026, more than 40% of engineering had been completed, with progress expected to reach approximately 50% by mid-2026.

During the quarter, drilling activities also progressed, focusing on condemnation drilling and geological evaluation near the projected mine area.

Regional Highlights

Gold production in the quarter was higher than planned primarily as a result of higher grades and ore tonnes at the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic. The higher gold grades and ore tonnes were a result of the continued mining of mineralized zones near historical underground stopes in the Barnat pit
At LaRonde, production was affected by mining sequence adjustments, as delays at the East Mine were offset by higher tonnes from LaRonde Zone 5 ("LZ5") and Zone 11‑3, resulting in lower gold grades than planned for the quarter
At LaRonde, the Company continued its automation initiatives with approximately 26% of the ore mucked using automated loaders during the quarter. The Company began testing hauling of ore with autonomous trucks from level 317 to level 290 in the East mine
At Odyssey, East Gouldie first production via ramp was achieved in March 2026, three months ahead of schedule. Gold production was in line with plan at approximately 27,400 ounces
At Goldex, strong productivity at the Akasaba open pit resulted in higher ore tonnes and a higher percentage of ore from Akasaba processed at the mill during the quarter
At LaRonde, a 10-day shutdown is scheduled in the second quarter of 2026 to replace the liners at the SAG mill and to complete maintenance of the drystack filtration plant and flotation circuit. Canadian Malartic has four-day quarterly shutdowns planned in 2026 for regular maintenance at the mill. Goldex has two to three-day quarterly shutdowns planned for regular maintenance at the mill.
An update on Odyssey and the "fill-the-mill" strategy is set out in the Key Value Drivers – Building the Next Phase of Growth section above

Regional Highlights

Gold production for the quarter was in line with plan. Strong production at Detour Lake, driven by a higher grade sequence and a strong mill performance, offset lower tonnes processed at Macassa. Despite milling fewer tonnes than expected at Macassa, the mill achieved record quarterly throughput of 149,000 tonnes
At Detour Lake, a record 29.5 million tonnes of ore and waste were extracted from the open pit, despite seasonal weather interruptions, driven by higher availability and productivity of the hauling fleet. Mill performance remained strong, with runtime reaching a record level for a first quarter of approximately 92.5% and mill recovery of 90.9%, both higher than anticipated
At Macassa, planned production was affected primarily by challenges with the paste plant and the paste distribution system during the quarter. The reliability of the existing paste plant was insufficient to support the increased mining rate, exacerbated by extreme cold temperatures. These issues are expected to be resolved with the commissioning of the new paste plant, with a design capacity of approximately 3,600 tpd, which remains on track for the second quarter of 2026. The new paste plant and distribution system are required to support the planned ramp-up of the mining and milling rate to 2,040 tpd by the end of 2026
The Company received approval during the quarter for a permit amendment allowing ore from the AK deposit to be processed at the LZ5 processing facility at LaRonde. Trucking of ore from the AK deposit to the LZ5 facility commenced in April 2026, with milling expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Production from the AK deposit is forecast to be approximately 40,000 ounces of gold in 2026
Detour Lake has scheduled shutdowns for regular mill maintenance in the second and fourth quarters of 2026, each lasting seven days. Macassa has scheduled a 5-day shutdown in the third quarter of 2026 for the replacement of the primary grinding mill liner, the annual overhaul of the crusher and other regular mill maintenance

Regional Highlights

Gold production in the quarter was higher than planned primarily as a result of higher than anticipated grades at Meadowbank, partially offset by lower throughput at Meliadine due to challenging weather conditions
At Meliadine, open pit operations were temporarily affected by adverse weather conditions. Underground development delivered strong results, with lateral development exceeding plan and achieving a quarterly record of 4,114 metres
At Meadowbank, the mill delivered strong throughput during the quarter, supported by higher than anticipated total tonnes mined from the open pit operations and stockpile processing. Gold grades were higher, reflecting a change in mining sequence and the processing of higher‑grade stockpiles
Meliadine has scheduled a four to five day shutdown for regular mill maintenance in the third quarter of 2026 . Meadowbank has scheduled shutdowns in the second and fourth quarters of 2026, each lasting five days, to replace the SAG and ball mill liners and complete other regular mill maintenance

Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance

This news release discloses certain financial performance measures, including "total cash costs per ounce", "minesite costs per tonne", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" (or "AISC per ounce"), "adjusted net income", "adjusted net income per share", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital per share", "EBITDA" which means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, "adjusted EBITDA", "free cash flow", "free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital", "operating margin", "capital expenditures", "sustaining capital expenditures", "development capital expenditures", "sustaining capitalized exploration", "development capitalized exploration" and "net cash (debt)", as well as, for certain of these measures their related per share ratios that are not standardized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold producers and should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. See below for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (the "First Quarter Financial Statements") prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjustments that are not applicable in respect of the periods for which reconciliations are provided are not shown in the quantitative reconciliation.

Total Cash Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced and Minesite Costs per Tonne

Total Cash Costs per Ounce

Total cash costs per ounce is calculated on a per ounce of gold produced basis and is reported either on a by-product basis (deducting the impact of by-product metals from production costs to isolate the cost of producing an ounce of gold) and, where indicated, on a co-product basis (without deducting the impact of by-product metals). Total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements for (i) the impact of by-products, (ii) inventory production costs, (iii) the impact of purchase price allocation in connection with mergers and acquisitions on inventory accounting, (iv) realized gains and losses on hedges of production costs, (v) in-kind royalty costs, and (vi) smelting, refining and marketing charges and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company also adjusts production costs for the NTI Payment (as discussed further below), which adjustment only affects this non-GAAP measure only insofar as the measure includes costs from Meadowbank (that is, for Meadowbank, the Nunavut region and the consolidated Company). The Company's calculation of total cash costs per ounce for other mines and regions that do not include Meadowbank are not affected by this change.

The NTI Payment is the payment to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. ("NTI") under the Company's mineral production lease in respect of the Amaruq mine at Meadowbank, which is a royalty based on net profits, subject to a minimum profit margin ("NTI Payment"). NTI is the body that represents the Inuit of Nunavut under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement and holds the subsurface mineral rights on certain parcels of Inuit owned land, including at the Amaruq mine. The royalty payments under the mining leases with NTI are based on net profits at the mine, subject to a cap on allowable costs as a percentage of gross revenue. At mines located on lands in Nunavut where the subsurface mineral rights are not held by NTI (whether or not on Inuit owned lands), the Crown holds the subsurface mineral rights and imposes a net profits royalty (the "Crown royalty") under the Nunavut Mining Regulations (the "NMR"). The Company does not include the Crown royalty in its calculations of total cash costs per ounce and certain other of its non-GAAP measures as the Company classifies these costs as an income tax for financial statement purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and income taxes are generally excluded from the calculation of such non-GAAP measures. The Crown royalty is not applicable where NTI is the holder of the subsurface mineral rights. Where NTI is holder of the subsurface mineral rights, the Company instead is required to make the payment under the mining leases with NTI, which the Company views as having similar characteristics to the payments under the Crown royalty. Accordingly, to ensure comparability across the Company's mines in Nunavut, the Company revised its calculation of such non-GAAP measures to also adjust for the NTI Payment where applicable. In this news release, total cash costs per ounce for periods that commenced prior to January 1, 2026 have been calculated using this revised methodology.

Investors should note that total cash costs per ounce are not reflective of all cash expenditures, as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments. Total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the impact of by-product metals is not deducted. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production of by-product metals.

Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide investors information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to, and believes they are helpful to investors so investors can, understand and monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. The Company believes that total cash costs per ounce is useful to help investors understand the costs associated with producing gold and the economics of gold mining. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis measure allows management and investors to assess a mine's cash-generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and minesite costs per tonne as these measures are not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.

Agnico Eagle's primary business is gold production and the focus of its current operations and future development is on maximizing returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. Accordingly, all metals other than gold are considered by-products.

In this news release, unless otherwise indicated, total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis because (i) gold is the Company's primary product and source of substantially all its revenues, (ii) the Company mines ore, which may contain gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals, and the Company believes that isolating the cost of producing gold is a more meaningful measure of operating performance, (iii) it is a method used by management and the Board to monitor operations, and (iv) many other gold producers disclose similar measures on a by-product rather than a co-product basis.

Minesite Costs per Tonne

Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements for (i) inventory production costs, (ii) in-kind royalty costs, and (iii) smelting, refining and marketing charges, and then dividing by tonnage of ore processed. For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company also adjusts production costs for the NTI Payment (as discussed above in "Total Cash Costs per Ounce"), which adjustment only affects minesite costs per tonne at Meadowbank and for the Nunavut region. The Company's calculation of minesite costs per tonne for other mines and regions other than the Nunavut region are not affected by this change. In this news release, minesite costs for periods that commenced prior to January 1, 2026 have been calculated using this revised methodology.

As the total cash costs per ounce can be affected by fluctuations in by-product metal prices and foreign exchange rates, management believes that minesite costs per tonne is useful to investors in providing additional information regarding the performance of mining operations, eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. For the reasons noted above in respect of revisions to the composition of total cash costs per ounce, for the purposes of calculating this non-GAAP measure, the Company now adjusts production costs for the amount of the NTI Payment. The Company believes that this revision is helpful to both management and investors as it better reflects the cost performance at the Amaruq mine at Meadowbank and makes the reported measure more comparable across all of the Company's mines. Management is aware, and investors should note, that this per tonne measure of performance can be affected by fluctuations in processing levels. This inherent limitation may be partially mitigated by using this measure in conjunction with production costs and other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The following table sets out the production costs per minesite for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, as presented in the First Quarter Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Notes:
(i)	Gold production for the period ended March 31, 2026 excludes 418 ounces of payable production of gold at La India and 76 ounces of payable production of gold at Creston Mascota , which were produced from residual leaching.
(ii)	Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue. Included in inventory adjustments for Canadian Malartic for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is $3.6 million associated with the fair value allocated to inventory on Canadian Malartic as part of the purchase price allocation from the acquisition, on March 31, 2023, of the 50% of Canadian Malartic that Agnico Eagle did not then hold.
(iii)	In‑kind royalty adjustments in respect of Canadian Malartic, Detour Lake and Macassa related to in‑kind royalties of 5.0%, 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, paid in respect of gold production at such mines, which are excluded from production costs under IFRS Accounting Standards and added back in the calculation of total cash costs per ounce. NTI Payments are incurred solely at Meadowbank and are included in production costs under IFRS Accounting Standards and subtracted from production costs in the calculation of total cash costs per ounce as described more fully above. For a discussion of NTI Payments, see "Total Cash Costs per Ounce".

For a discussion of NTI Payments, see "Minesite Costs per Tonne".

All-in sustaining costs per ounce

All-in sustaining costs per ounce (also referred to as "AISC per ounce") on a by-product basis is calculated as the aggregate of (i) total cash costs on a by-product basis, (ii) sustaining capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration), (iii) general and administrative expenses (including stock option expense), (iv) lease payments related to sustaining assets and (v) reclamation expenses, each as measured on a per ounce of production basis. These additional costs reflect the additional expenditures that are required to be made to maintain current production levels. AISC per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the total cash costs on a co-product basis are used, meaning the impact of by-product metals is not deducted. Investors should note that AISC per ounce is not reflective of all cash expenditures as it does not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments, nor does it include non-cash expenditures, such as depreciation and amortization. In this news release, unless otherwise indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis (see "Total Cash Costs per Ounce" for a discussion of regarding the Company's use of by-product basis reporting). For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company revised the composition of certain of its non-GAAP performance measures, including "all-in sustaining costs per ounce", to adjust for the NTI Payments, that is, payments made to NTI under the Company's mineral production leases in respect of the Amaruq mine at Meadowbank. This revised composition aligns with changes made to the calculation of "total cash costs per ounce", discussed above in "Total Cash Costs per Ounce". For the reasons outlined above in respect of the change to the composition of "total cash costs per ounce", the Company believes that this revision to the composition of AISC per ounce is helpful to both management and investors as it better reflects the cost performance at the Amaruq mine at Meadowbank and conforms the calculations of costs used across all of the Company's mines.

Management believes that AISC per ounce is useful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides useful information about operating performance. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and, in the case of AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and minesite costs per tonne, as this measure is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The Company follows the guidance on calculation of AISC per ounce released by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in 2018, except in aspect of its treatment of the NTI Payment at Meadowbank. As discussed above, the Company views the NTI Payments as having similar characteristics to the Crown royalty, which is treated as income tax under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore excluded from the Company's AISC calculations. The WGC is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry that has worked closely with its member companies to develop guidance in respect of relevant non-GAAP measures. Notwithstanding the Company's adoption of the WGC's guidance, AISC per ounce reported by the Company may not be comparable to data reported by other gold mining companies.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of production costs to all-in sustaining costs per ounce for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 on both a by-product basis (deducting the impact of by-product metals from production costs) and a co-product basis (without deducting the impact of by-product metals from production costs).

Notes:
(i) Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 excludes 418 ounces and 1,811 ounces of payable production of gold at La India and 76 ounces and 25 ounces of payable production at Creston Mascota, respectively, which were produced from residual leaching
(ii) Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue. Included in inventory adjustments for Canadian Malartic is $3.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31 2026 and 2025 respectively, associated with the fair value allocated to inventory on Canadian Malartic as part of the purchase price allocation from the acquisition, on March 31, 2023, of the 50% of Canadian Malartic that Agnico Eagle did not then hold
(iii) In‑kind royalty adjustments in respect of Canadian Malartic, Detour Lake and Macassa related to in‑kind royalties of 5.0%, 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, paid in respect of gold production at such mines, which are excluded from production costs under IFRS Accounting Standards and added back in the calculation of all-in sustaining costs per ounce. NTI Payments are incurred solely at Meadowbank and are included in production costs under IFRS Accounting Standards and subtracted from production costs in the calculation of total cash costs per ounce as described more fully above. For a discussion of NTI Payments, see "Total Cash Costs per Ounce"
(iv) Sustaining leases are lease payments related to sustaining assets

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting the net income as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements for the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net income for certain non-recurring, unusual and other items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance, transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains and losses, environmental remediation charges, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, debt extinguishment costs, impairment loss charges and reversals, gains and losses on the sale of equity securities, retroactive payments, self insurance losses, gains and losses on the sale of non-strategic properties, multi-year donations, disposal of supplies inventory at non-operating sites, and income and mining taxes adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis.

The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful to investors in that they allow for the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and in making comparisons between periods. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing income generating capabilities from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which the Company believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses this measure to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The following table sets out the calculation of adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
*(thousands)*	2026	2025

Net income for the period	$ 1,695,461	$ 814,731

Income and mining taxes adjustments⁽ⁱⁱⁱ⁾	(4,840)	(703)
Adjusted net income for the period	$ 1,705,756	$ 770,107

Notes:
(i) As part of the purchase price allocation in a business combination, the Company is required to determine the fair value of net assets acquired. The fair value of inventory acquired is estimated based on the selling cost less costs to be incurred plus a profit margin on those costs resulting in a fair value adjustment to the carrying value of inventories acquired. These non-cash fair value adjustments which affected the cost of inventory sold during the period and are not representative of ongoing operations, were removed from net income in the calculation of adjusted net income
(ii) Relates to the Company's ownership percentage of an impairment loss recorded by an associate
(iii) Income and mining taxes adjustments reflect items such as foreign currency translation recorded to the income and mining taxes expense, the impact of income and mining taxes on adjusted items, recognition of previously unrecognized capital losses, the result of income and mining taxes audits, impact of tax law changes and adjustments to prior period tax filings

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income for finance costs, amortization of property, plant and mine development and income and mining tax expense line items as reported in the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting the EBITDA calculation for certain non-recurring, unusual and other items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance, non-recurring, unusual and other transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains and losses, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, debt extinguishment costs, impairment loss charges and reversals, gains and losses on the sale of equity securities, retroactive payments, self insurance losses, gains and losses on the sale of non-strategic properties, multi-year donations, and disposal of supplies inventory at non-operating sites.

The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the cash-generating capability of the Company to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing cash-generating capability from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which management believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses these measures to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash-generating capability of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The following table sets out the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

The fair value of inventory acquired is estimated based on the selling cost less costs to be incurred plus a profit margin on those costs resulting in a fair value adjustment to the carrying value of inventories acquired. These non-cash fair value adjustments which affected the cost of inventory sold during the period and are not representative of ongoing operations, were removed from net income in the calculation of adjusted net income
(ii) Relates to the Company's ownership percentage of an impairment loss recorded by an associate

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital and its per share ratio

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by adjusting the cash provided by operating activities as shown in the First Quarter Financial Statements for the effects of changes in non-cash components of working capital such as income taxes, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable. The per share ratio is calculated by dividing cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital by the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic basis. The Company believes that changes in working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of payments. Management uses these measures to, and believes they are useful to investors so they can, assess the underlying operating cash flow performance and future operating cash flow generating capabilities of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. A reconciliation of these measures to the nearest IFRS Accounting Standards measure is provided below.

Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital

Free cash flow is calculated by deducting additions to property, plant and mine development from the cash provided by operating activities line item as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by excluding items such as the effect of changes in non-cash components of working capital from free cash flow, which includes income taxes, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable.

The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the Company's ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders without relying on external sources of funding. Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital also provide investors with information about the Company's financial position and its ability to generate cash to fund operational and capital requirements as well as return cash to shareholders. Management uses these measures in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash-generating ability of the Company.

The following table sets out the calculation of free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Operating margin

Operating margin is calculated by deducting production costs from revenue from mining operations. In order to reconcile operating margin to net income as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements, the Company adds the following items to the operating margin: amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; general and administrative expenses; finance costs; gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments; foreign currency translation (gain) loss; care and maintenance expenses; other income and expenses; income and mining taxes expense; revaluation gain and impairment losses (reversals). The Company believes that operating margin is a helpful measure to investors as it reflects the operating performance of its individual mines associated with the ongoing production and sale of gold and by-product metals without allocating Company-wide overhead, such as amortization of property, plant and mine development, exploration and corporate development expenses, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, foreign currency translation gains and losses, care and maintenance expenses, other income and expenses and income and mining taxes expense. Management uses this measure internally to plan and forecast future operating results. Management believes this measure is helpful to investors as it provides them with additional information about the Company's underlying operating results, though it should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The following table sets out the calculation of operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
*(thousands)*	2026	2025

Net income for the period	$ 1,695,461	$ 814,731
Amortization of property, plant and mine development	420,266	416,800
Exploration and corporate development	52,556	41,805

Finance costs	15,756	22,444
Gain on derivative financial instruments	(4,700)	(68,859)
Foreign currency translation gain	(733)	(60)
Care and maintenance	22,596	13,901
Other income and expenses	787	19,204
Income and mining taxes expense	864,163	379,840
Operating margin	$ 3,144,002	$ 1,700,515

Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures are calculated by deducting working capital adjustments from additions to property, plant and mine development per the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining capitalized exploration, development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration. Sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining capitalized exploration are expenditures incurred during the production phase to sustain and maintain existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production from which the Company will derive economic benefits. Sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining capitalized exploration include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration represent the spending at new projects and/or expenditures at existing operations that are undertaken with the intention to increase production levels or mine life above the current plans. Management uses these measures in the capital allocation process and to assess the effectiveness of its investments. Management believes these measures are useful so investors can assess the purpose and effectiveness of the capital expenditures split between sustaining and development in each reporting period. The classification between sustaining and development capital expenditures does not have a standardized definition in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and other companies may classify expenditures in a different manner.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining capitalized exploration, development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration to the additions to property, plant and mine development per the First Quarter Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

*(thousands)*	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026	2025
Sustaining capital expenditures	$ 196,592	$ 168,076
Sustaining capitalized exploration	5,387	4,448
Development capital expenditures	292,290	186,224
Development capitalized exploration	79,341	60,504
Total Capital Expenditures	$ 573,610	$ 419,252
Working capital adjustments	40,139	30,872
Additions to property, plant and mine development per the First Quarter Financial Statements	$ 613,749	$ 450,124

Net cash

Net cash is calculated by adjusting the total of the current portion of long-term debt and non-current long-term debt for deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents, as recorded in the First Quarter Financial Statements. Management believes that net cash is a useful measure to help investors assess the Company's overall liquidity position, ability to meet its financial obligations, fund capital expenditures, advance growth projects and return capital to shareholders after considering outstanding debt obligations.

The following table sets out a reconciliation of long-term debt per the First Quarter Financial Statements to net cash as at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

	As at	As at
*(thousands)*	Mar 31, 2026	Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt	$ (196,548)	$ (196,271)
Cash and cash equivalents	3,111,869	2,866,053
Net cash	$ 2,915,321	$ 2,669,782

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains information regarding estimated future total cash costs per ounce, minesite costs per tonne and AISC per ounce. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce, minesite costs per tonne and AISC per ounce that the Company expects to incur to mine gold at its mining operations and do not include certain costs that will vary over time as each project is developed and mined. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure.

Notes to Investors Regarding Certain Project Evaluations

The forecast parameters surrounding certain projects, including Detour Lake underground, Upper Beaver, Hope Bay and the "fill-the-mill" strategy at Canadian Malartic (Odyssey Shaft #1, Odyssey Shaft #2, Marban, Wasamac), were based on internal evaluations, which are preliminary in nature and include inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the forecast production amounts will be realized.

The basis for the internal evaluations and the qualifications and assumptions made by the qualified persons who undertook the internal evaluations are set out in this news release and the news releases dated June 29, 2024 for Detour Lake underground and dated July 31, 2024 for Upper Beaver. The results of the internal evaluations had no impact on the results of any pre-feasibility or feasibility study. An updated internal evaluation is expected in the second quarter of 2026 for Hope Bay, in the first quarter of 2027 for the "fill-the-mill" strategy at Canadian Malartic and in mid-2027 for Detour Lake and Upper Beaver.

AGNICO EAGLE TO CONSOLIDATE FINLAND'S CENTRAL LAPLAND GREENSTONE BELT IN THREE SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:30:00 -0400

Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)

(All amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)

TORONTO, April 20, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") announced today a plan to complete a comprehensive consolidation of properties in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt ("CLGB") of Northern Finland, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle has entered into definitive agreements in respect of three separate transactions: (i) the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rupert Resources Ltd. ("Rupert"); (ii) the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurion Resources Ltd. ("Aurion"); and (iii) the acquisition of a 70% interest in Fingold Ventures Ltd. (the "Fingold JV") held by B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold"), which together with the 30% interest held by Aurion, would result in Agnico Eagle owning a 100% ownership interest in the Fingold JV. The Company currently owns 13.9% of Rupert on a non-diluted basis and 9.9% of Aurion on a partially diluted basis.

Establishes Finland as a multi-asset, multi-decade regional platform within Agnico Eagle's portfolio, with a pathway to become an approximately 500,000-ounce annual gold production hub within the next decade
Provides the financial, technical and on-the-ground resources to develop the highly prospective Ikkari gold project (" Ikkari "), leveraging Agnico Eagle's proven management, exploration, permitting, mine building and operating expertise
Creates significant value through optimized project development, including an extension of the Ikkari open pit onto the Fingold JV area, which is expected to capture additional gold ounces in the mine plan on both sides of the property boundary
Consolidates an approximate 2,492 km² regional land position within the under-explored Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, unlocking significant exploration potential with robust targets across all stages of exploration
Integrating Ikkari into the Company's established Finland platform delivers unique operating, development and construction synergies estimated at up to $500 million, over and above the value benefit that is expected to be realized by eliminating the property boundary constraint

Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ammar Al-Joundi commented: "These transactions deliver on our long‑standing regional strategy and build on our more than 20 years of best-in-class operating experience in Finland to establish another multi‑asset, multi‑decade platform in our portfolio within a world‑class gold belt. By consolidating the highly prospective and under‑explored Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, we are bringing together our long‑life Kittila mine, the Ikkari gold project, unconstrained by property boundaries, and a district‑scale land position with clearly defined targets across all stages of exploration. Supported by a proven local team with the technical, operating and exploration expertise to execute, this consolidation positions us to accelerate development, capture unique synergies, drive project‑level value and unlock substantial long‑term exploration upside for our shareholders. This approach mirrors how we have successfully built value across our Canadian platforms and represents an important next chapter for our Finland business".

Agnico Eagle's Executive Vice President Exploration, Mr. Guy Gosselin commented: "Through these transactions, we have consolidated a regional land position of approximately 2,492 km² in the most prospective exploration belt in the Nordic region. This district hosts multiple high quality gold opportunities, ranging from near deposit resource growth to largely untested regional targets, as well as highly prospective Cu-Ni-PGE targets within the lateral extension of the geological formation hosting nearby world-class Cu-Ni PGE deposits. The scale of the mineralized trends, combined with the elimination of property boundaries, provide a strong foundation for disciplined, multi‑year exploration aimed at expanding resources and delivering new discoveries."

Strategic Rationale

The proposed consolidation of the CLGB aligns with Agnico Eagle's long‑standing strategy of regional consolidation in premier mining jurisdictions. Upon closing of these transactions, Agnico Eagle will own in addition to the Kittila mine, the Ikkari gold project, along with a large, highly prospective land package totalling approximately 2,492 km².

Rupert's primary asset is its 100%‑owned Ikkari gold project, a high‑quality, advanced exploration and development project with a large mineral resource and mineral reserve base, including 3.5 million ounces of gold in probable mineral reserves (52.0 million tonnes grading 2.1 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold). The project also offers significant geologic potential and exploration upside across an approximately 1,253 km² land package, with growth opportunities ranging from early-stage targets, zones with initial mineral resources, and the past-producing Pahtavaara gold mine where several known zones remain open. The land package also includes areas prospective for critical minerals in the same rock formations hosting nearby world-class Cu-Ni PGE deposits.

Aurion has assembled a large, contiguous land position of approximately 761 km² within the CLGB, including the land held by the Fingold JV with B2Gold. The consolidated property provides significant exploration upside across multiple targets and is supported by encouraging exploration results, including a number of discoveries such as Kaasresselka, Helmi, Kutuvuoma and Vuoma. Aurion and the Fingold JV have continuously demonstrated strong potential in this under-explored part of the CLGB. All known gold occurrences remain open for growth, having only been explored from surface to less than 300 metres depth, and some display alteration and mineralization similar to Ikkari, the major gold deposit in the district.

Figure 1. Map of claims to be consolidated by Agnico Eagle with proposed transactions

These transactions are expected to substantially enhance the scale, growth and longevity of the Company's Finland platform, which the Company believes has the potential to evolve into a world-class multi‑decade gold production hub producing approximately 500,000 ounces annually in one of the most geologically prospective and politically stable regions in the world. The Company brings financial strength, technical depth, government relations and on‑the‑ground capability to optimize and advance Ikkari, leveraging its proven local expertise across exploration, permitting, mine building and operations.

The integration of Ikkari with the Company's existing Kittila operating platform is expected to generate operating and development synergies of up to $500 million. Additionally, the elimination of property boundary constraints creates a clear pathway to incremental project‑level value through a larger open pit extending onto the Fingold JV property that is expected to capture additional gold ounces in the mine plan and extend mine life.

The Company first made a strategic investment in Rupert in February 2020 and, over the past six years, has developed a strong technical understanding of Ikkari and its long‑term development potential. With enhanced technical and financial capacity, Agnico Eagle is well positioned to execute a comprehensive exploration and development program and accelerate value creation across the district.

Finland Platform – Kittila Mine, the Ikkari Gold Project, Expanded Exploration Upside

The Kittila mine is the largest primary gold mine in Europe, hosting a large mineral reserve and mineral resource base, including 3.3 million ounces of gold in probable mineral reserves (24.8 million tonnes grading 4.17 grams per tonne gold). Commercial production was achieved in 2009 and the mine was subsequently expanded to a 2 million tonnes per annum operation in 2020. In 2025, Kittila produced 217,379 ounces of gold and generated strong free cash flow
Ikkari is located 50 kilometres from Kittila. A pre-feasibility study was completed by Rupert in February 2025, envisioning an open pit and underground operation utilizing conventional processing with average annual gold production of 227,000 ounces of gold over the first 10 years of mine life
- Ikkari has a large mineral reserve and mineral resource base – probable mineral reserves of 3.5 million ounces of gold (52.0 million tonnes at 2.10 g/t) from indicated mineral resources of 4.1 million ounces of gold (58.4 million tonnes at 2.18 g/t) (inclusive of mineral reserves)
- Land consolidation with the Fingold JV creates additional value, allowing for the optimal development of Ikkari, with an unconstrained open pit and optimal positioning of infrastructure
- Agnico Eagle plans to continue a drill program at Ikkari for infill and condemnation drilling and to test step-out targets as well as some selected regional priority targets, with an approximately $20 million drilling program planned over the first 18 months, along with the completion of an updated internal evaluation for the optimized mine design targeted by the end of 2027
The consolidated land package of approximately 2,492 km² has significant potential for mineral resource expansion and new discoveries. A three-year regional exploration program ranging between $60 and $100 million and including 100,000 to 175,000 metres of drilling, is planned to unlock the full district scale potential of the consolidated land position on the multiple regional targets. The program will be periodically re-evaluated, success-driven and open to expansion
The main areas of interest for an initial three-year exploration program are set out below
- The Ikkari–Helmi gap area (resulting from the property boundary between Rupert and the Fingold JV), offers significant potential to enhance the Ikkari deposit through mineral resource growth and improved flexibility for infrastructure positioning. The deeper extension of Ikkari also remains largely untested due to the property boundary, providing additional exploration upside
- The broader Ikkari trend is an extensive mineralized corridor, extending more than seven kilometres westward from the Helmi deposit toward the Kutuvuoma gold deposit and beyond, and over approximately 22 kilometres eastward along the Rajala geological domain boundary, hosting the Heina South, Heina Central, Saitta, and Mike occurrences through to the past producing Pahtavaara gold mine
- On Aurion's Risti property and the Fingold JV property, the largely unexplored 15-kilometre long Kaaresselka–Vuoma trend hosts two gold showings and a strong base of till anomalies, with alteration and mineralization characteristics similar to Ikkari
- The Area 51 target on Rupert's property hosts the thickest ultramafic volcanites of 2.05 Ga in the CLGB, in the same rock formations hosting other Cu-Ni-PGE deposits nearby

Transaction Details

Rupert Transaction

Agnico Eagle and Rupert have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Rupert Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Rupert (the "Rupert Shares"), other than the Rupert Shares held by Agnico Eagle, by way of plan of arrangement (the "Rupert Transaction").

Pursuant to the Rupert Transaction, each Rupert Share will be exchanged for: (i) upfront consideration comprised of 0.0401 of a common share of Agnico Eagle ("Agnico Shares"); and (ii) contingent consideration of up to $3.00, in the form of a contingent value right ("CVR") that is payable, in cash, upon Rupert's properties reaching specified milestones (set out in detail below). The aggregate upfront consideration on a 100% and fully diluted basis is valued at approximately $2,871 million on a fully-diluted basis, based on the five-day volume weighted average price of Agnico Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") as of April 17, 2026. The upfront consideration represents an approximately 67% premium to the closing price of the Rupert Shares on the TSX as of April 17, 2026, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Rupert Transaction.

Each CVR will have a term of 10 years and will entitle the holder thereof to receive up to $3.00, in cash, upon certain milestones being reached. The applicable milestones relate to the properties to be acquired from Rupert on closing (the "Acquired Properties"); and the CVRs are payable as follows:

$1.00 upon the public announcement of at least 5 million ounces of gold in mineral reserves on the Acquired Properties;
$1.00 upon both of the following having been publicly announced: (i) the Acquired Properties reaching commercial production; and (ii) the Acquired Properties reaching 7.5 million ounces of gold in aggregate mineral reserves and production; and
$1.00 upon both of the following having been publicly announced: (i) the Acquired Properties reaching commercial production; and (ii) the Acquired Properties reaching 10 million ounces of gold in aggregate mineral reserves and production

Completion of the Rupert Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, court approval and the approval of: (i) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Rupert Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a special meeting of Rupert securityholders (the "Rupert Meeting") to be held to consider the Rupert Transaction; (ii) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Rupert Shares, options to acquire Rupert Shares ("Rupert Options"), deferred share units of Rupert ("Rupert DSUs"), restricted share units of Rupert ("Rupert RSUs") and performance share units of Rupert ("Rupert PSUs"), voting together as a single class, with one vote for each Rupert Share, Rupert Option, Rupert DSU, Rupert RSU and Rupert PSU held; and (iii) Rupert Minority Approval, discussed below.

The Rupert Transaction will be a "business combination" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as Agnico Eagle is a "related party" (as defined in MI 61-101) of Rupert by virtue of its approximately 13.9% current ownership of Rupert Shares (on a non-diluted basis). As a result, the Rupert Transaction will also require: (i) an independent formal valuation prepared in accordance with MI 61-101; and (ii) the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of Rupert Shares, excluding Agnico Eagle and votes attached to Rupert Shares held by other persons required to be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101, present in person or represented by proxy at the Rupert Meeting (the "Rupert Minority Approval").

Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to closing set out in the Rupert Arrangement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Rupert Transaction will be completed early in the third quarter of 2026. Upon closing of the Rupert Transaction, it is expected that the Rupert Shares will be delisted from the TSX and that Rupert will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Rupert Transaction, each of the directors and executive officers of Rupert, and certain Rupert shareholders, collectively representing 28.75% of the Rupert Shares, have entered into a voting support agreement with Agnico Eagle, pursuant to which each of them has agreed, among other things, to vote all of their Rupert Shares (including any Rupert Shares issued upon the exercise of any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Rupert Shares) in favour of the Rupert Transaction, subject to the terms of the voting support agreements.

None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Rupert Transaction have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and any securities issued in connection with the Rupert Transaction are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable exemptions under state securities laws. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Aurion Transaction

Agnico Eagle and Aurion have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Aurion Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Aurion (the "Aurion Shares"), other than the Aurion Shares held by Agnico Eagle, by way of plan of arrangement (the "Aurion Transaction").

Pursuant to the Aurion Transaction, each Aurion Share will be acquired for $2.60 in cash (the "Aurion Consideration"), for an aggregate consideration of approximately $481 million on a 100% and fully-diluted basis. The Aurion Consideration represents approximately a 46% premium to the closing price of the Aurion Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") as of April 17, 2026, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Aurion Transaction.

Completion of the Aurion Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, court approval and the approval of: (i) two‐thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Aurion Shares present in person or represented by proxy at a special meeting of Aurion securityholders (the "Aurion Meeting") to be held to consider the Aurion Transaction; (ii) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Aurion Shares and warrants to acquire Aurion Shares ("Aurion Warrants"), voting together as a single class, with one vote for each Aurion Share and Aurion Warrant; and (iii) Aurion Minority Approval, as discussed below.

The Aurion Transaction will be a "business combination" under MI 61-101 as Matti Talikka, the Chief Executive Officer of Aurion, is entitled to receive a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101) in connection with the Aurion Transaction. As a result, the Aurion Transaction will also require the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of Aurion Shares, excluding Mr. Talikka and votes attached to Aurion Shares held by other persons required to be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101, present in person or represented by proxy at the Aurion Meeting (the "Aurion Minority Approval").

Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to closing set out in the Aurion Arrangement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Aurion Transaction will be completed early in the third quarter of 2026. Upon closing of the Aurion Transaction, it is expected that the Aurion Shares will be delisted from the TSXV and that Aurion will cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.

In connection with the Aurion Transaction, all directors and officers of Aurion who collectively own or exercise control approximately 10.8% of the issued and outstanding Aurion Shares have entered into a voting support agreement with Agnico Eagle, pursuant to which each of them has agreed, among other things, to vote all of their Aurion Shares (including any Aurion Shares issued upon the exercise of any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Aurion Shares) in favour of the Aurion Transaction, subject to the terms of the voting support agreements. In addition, Adrian Day Asset Management has entered into a voting support agreement with Agnico Eagle, pursuant to which it has agreed, among other things, to vote or cause to be voted up to approximately 5.1% of the issued and outstanding Aurion Shares in favour of the Aurion Transaction.

Agnico Eagle currently holds 5,530,000 Aurion Warrants that it intends to exercise prior to record date for the Aurion Meeting. Following the exercise of the Aurion Warrants, Agnico will hold an aggregate of 16,590,000 Aurion Shares representing approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Aurion Shares on a non-diluted basis. Agnico Eagle intends to vote the Aurion Shares it owns in favour of the Aurion Transaction.

B2Gold Transaction

Agnico Eagle and B2Gold have entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the "B2Gold Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire B2Gold's 70% interest in the Fingold JV for US$325 million in cash (the "B2Gold Transaction"). Aurion holds the remaining 30% interest in the Fingold JV and has waived its right of first refusal over the sale of B2Gold's interest in the Fingold JV. Upon completion of the B2Gold Transaction and the Aurion Transaction, Agnico Eagle will own a 100% interest in the Fingold JV.

The B2Gold Transaction is not subject to approval by securityholders of Agnico Eagle or B2Gold. Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to closing set out in the B2Gold Purchase Agreement, it is anticipated that the B2Gold Transaction will be completed in April 2026.

In addition to the B2Gold Transaction, Agnico Eagle and B2Gold have agreed to enter into a collaboration agreement focused on knowledge sharing and cooperation across their respective operations in Nunavut, Canada. The agreement is intended to leverage the complementary experience, best practices and expertise of both companies operating in northern arctic environments. The agreement will not involve any transfer of ownership interests or integration of activities and will be non-exclusive in nature.

Shareholder Returns

The Company remains committed to delivering strong returns to shareholders in 2026 through a combination of the dividend and share repurchases under the Company's Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"). As previously disclosed, the Company intends to increase the share repurchase limit to US$2 billion on renewal of the NCIB in May 2026 and the Company will evaluate opportunities to reduce dilution associated with these transactions throughout the remainder of 2026, including potentially returning the proceeds of portfolio investment sales to shareholders through share buybacks.

AGNICO EAGLE ANNOUNCES FINANCING AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH CASCADIA MINERALS LTD.

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)

TORONTO, March 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") announced today that it has agreed to purchase 19,315,300 units ("Units") of Cascadia Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CAM) ("Cascadia") at a price of C$0.26 per Unit for total consideration of C$5,021,978 under a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share of Cascadia (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Cascadia (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.32 for a period of two years following the date of issuance.

Agnico Eagle has also agreed to acquire 10,000,000 Units at a price of C$0.26 per Unit (the "Unit Purchases") for total consideration of C$2,600,000 from several sellers that will be participating in an offering of flow-through Units by Cascadia immediately prior to the Unit Purchases.

The Private Placement and the Unit Purchases are subject to certain closing conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and are expected to close on or about April 17, 2026.

Agnico Eagle does not currently own any Common Shares or Warrants. On closing of the Private Placement and the Unit Purchases, Agnico Eagle is expected to own 29,315,300 Common Shares and 14,657,650 Warrants, representing approximately 14.21% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 19.90% of the Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis (assuming exercise of the Warrants held by Agnico Eagle at such time).

On closing of the Private Placement and the Unit Purchases, Agnico Eagle and Cascadia will enter into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will be entitled to certain rights, provided it maintains certain ownership thresholds in Cascadia, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings or top-up its holdings in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership in Cascadia or acquire up to a 19.99% ownership interest in Cascadia, in each case, at the time of such financing or dilutive issuance; and (b) the right (which Agnico Eagle has no present intention of exercising) to nominate one person (and in the case of an increase in the size of the board of directors of Cascadia to eight or more directors, two persons) to the board of directors of Cascadia.

Agnico Eagle is acquiring the Common Shares and Warrants as part of its strategy of acquiring strategic positions in prospective opportunities with high geological potential. Depending on market conditions, strategic priorities and other factors, Agnico Eagle may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Shares, Warrants or other securities of Cascadia or dispose of some or all of the Common Shares, Warrants or other securities of Cascadia that it owns at such time.

On March 30, 2026, Agnico Eagle and Cascadia also entered into an earn-in agreement (the "Catch Earn-In Agreement"), pursuant to which Cascadia granted Agnico Eagle the right to earn a 51% interest in the Catch property owned by Cascadia located in Yukon (the "Catch Property"). Upon Agnico Eagle earning a 51% interest in the Catch Property, Agnico Eagle and Cascadia will enter into a joint venture agreement (the "Catch Joint Venture Agreement") governing the relationship of the parties in respect of the Catch Property, pursuant to which Cascadia will be the operator of the project and Agnico Eagle will have the right to earn an additional 29% interest in the Catch Property. The exercise of Agnico Eagle's right to earn an interest in the Catch Property is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Concurrently with the execution of the Catch Earn-In Agreement, Agnico Eagle and Cascadia entered into a strategic alliance agreement (the "Strategic Alliance Agreement") pursuant to which the parties established a strategic alliance for the identification and advancement of projects within the Stikine Terrane in Yukon (the "Alliance Area"). Under the Strategic Alliance Agreement, Agnico Eagle will provide funding over an initial three-year period for generative exploration work performed by Cascadia, as operator, within the Alliance Area. Projects within the Alliance Area may be designated (each such project, a "Designated Project") for further exploration under an earn-in agreement, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will have the right to earn a 51% interest in the Designated Project. If Agnico Eagle earns a 51% interest in a Designated Project, Agnico Eagle and Cascadia will enter into a joint venture agreement governing the relationship of the parties in respect of the Designated Project and containing terms substantially similar to the terms of the Catch Joint Venture Agreement. The exercise of Agnico Eagle's right to earn an interest in a Designated Project is subject to, among other things, the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

An early warning report will be filed by Agnico Eagle in accordance with applicable securities laws. To obtain a copy of the early warning report, please contact:
