AGNICO EAGLE REPORTS WALL MOVEMENT AT BARNAT OPEN PIT AT CANADIAN MALARTICJuly 2, 2026 7:47 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)TORONTO, July 2, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") reports that a rock mass movement occurred on July 1, 2026, along the north wall of the Barnat open pit at the Canadian Malartic complex in Quebec, Canada. There were no injuries, equipment damage or environmental impact as a result of the event. As a precautionary measure, the Company has temporarily suspended mining operations in the Barnat open pit.The rock mass movement occurred within an area that had been previously identified as having weaker geological structures within the north wall at Barnat and was subject to enhanced geotechnical monitoring in accordance with established mine planning and safety protocols, including safety exclusion zones.The Company's technical teams are conducting a detailed geotechnical assessment to confirm the stability of the affected area and determine the appropriate path forward. Planning activities are underway to support the safe and orderly resumption of operations in the Barnat pit. Safety remains the Company's highest priority.During the suspension of in-pit mining operations, the Canadian Malartic processing plant will be supplied with low-grade ore from existing stockpiles in place of planned Barnat ore feed. This approach is expected to help mitigate the near-term impact on production.Production in the second quarter of 2026 was not affected and the Company expects production for the second quarter of approximately 845,000 ounces of gold, slightly ahead of plan. However, based on currently available information, the Company expects the rock mass movement to reduce production in the second half of 2026 at Canadian Malartic by approximately 60,000 to 80,000 ounces of gold. Accordingly, the Company expects full year 2026 production to be near the lower end of its previously disclosed guidance range of 3.3 million to 3.5 million ounces of gold.The Barnat open pit was expected to be mined out by early 2029. While the Company's geotechnical assessment remains ongoing, the event is currently expected to result in reduced production in both 2027 and 2028 of up to approximately 150,000 ounces of gold per year. The Company is continuing to evaluate opportunities to mitigate this potential impact to its production outlook.Importantly, the Company believes that the rock mass movement will not affect the development or production outlook for the Odyssey mine and does not change the pathway to achieving annual production of 1 million ounces of gold from the Canadian Malartic complex in the early 2030s.The Company will continue to advance its geotechnical assessment and refine the timing for a safe restart of mining operations at the Barnat open pit. Further updates to production and cost guidance will be provided with the Company's second quarter 2026 results, scheduled for release after market close on July 29, 2026.About Agnico EagleCanadian-based and led, Agnico Eagle is Canada's largest mining company and the second largest gold producer in the world, operating mines in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico.

AGNICO EAGLE APPROVES HOPE BAY INVESTMENT DECISION; STRONG ECONOMIC RETURNS WITH EXPECTED ANNUAL GOLD PRODUCTION OF OVER 400,000 OUNCESMay 19, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)TORONTO, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - 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 NunavutLarge 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 categoryAn 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 profileStartup 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 facilityAverage 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 lifeAttractive economics with meaningful upside leverageInitial 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 potentialCost 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 1.36In 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 assumptionsSignificant 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-termProject significantly de-risked and execution-readyDetailed engineering is approximately 62% complete, providing a high level of confidence in the capital cost estimate and execution planSignificant surface infrastructure upgrades completed, including enhancements to port facilities, camp infrastructure and water management systems, supporting the ramp-up of construction activitiesLeveraging the Company's nearly 20 years of proven expertise in Arctic mine construction and operationsKey underground access points are advanced, including the Naartok East exploration ramp and the Patch 7 exploration portal and rampContinued 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 resourcesThe 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 depthOver 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 BostonContinue to enhance value through optimization studies and regional exploration focusThe 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 mineralizationOngoing 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__________________________________1 Development capital expenditure is non-GAAP measures that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards. For a description of the composition and usefulness of this non-GAAP measure, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.2 Total cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce (or "AISC" per ounce) are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and, in this news release, unless otherwise specified, are reported on (i) a per ounce of gold production basis, and (ii) a by-product basis. For a description of their composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.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 HighlightsThe 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._________________________________3 Sustaining capital expenditure is non-GAAP measures that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards.

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 DescriptionThe 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 2021Since 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 BaseThe 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.Summary of the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hope Bay Project, as at May 19, 20261

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 StrategyThe 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 RelationsThe 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 PotentialMore 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.DorisThe 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]MadridAt 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 – Composite Longitudinal Section][Madrid Deposit at Hope Bay – Plan Map]BostonGold 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 ExplorationThe 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.About Agnico EagleCanadian-based and led, Agnico Eagle is Canada's largest mining company and the second largest gold producer in the world, operating mines in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico.

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 MeasuresThis 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.Forward-Looking StatementsThe information in this news release has been prepared as at May 19, 2026.

Newmont Transaction Highlights Rising Valuations For Undeveloped Gold AssetsMay 13, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Greenland Mines Ltd.Newmont reported $4,900/oz realized in Q1. Kinross reported $4,873. Agnico Eagle posted record operating margins. Barrick is preparing a NewCo IPO of its North American gold assets. The deposits that priced at $1,800 are now sitting on a different planet — and the ones with the most ounces have the most to gain.The gold price reset is over. Senior producers won it in Q1 2026 earnings, well before the analysts finished updating their decks. The market is still catching up. Newmont's (NYSE: NEM) $4,900-per-ounce realized price and $3.1 billion in quarterly free cash flow already reflect what the mining industry figured out two quarters ago[1]: when the price deck moves from $1,800 to $4,900 on the same ore body, undeveloped ounces in the ground are effectively being revalued — and the deposits that the 2022 economics treated as long-dated optionality now screen as potential near-term development candidates at the new deck.CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baystreet.ca News Commentary — That repricing has now been quantified on one of the largest undeveloped palladium-gold-platinum systems on Earth. Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) released SLR Consulting's independent metal-price sensitivity analysis on its Skaergaard Project on May 7, 2026. Same block model. Same drill database. Same 1.43 g/t PdEq cut-off. Same 3.12 t/m³ bulk density. The only thing that changed was the price deck. The result: 16.58 million ounces of palladium-equivalent Indicated and 21.92 million ounces Inferred — a 45% grade uplift in the Indicated category and 55% in the Inferred, on a block model that hasn't been touched since 2022[2]. These figures are sensitivity scenarios, not new Mineral Resource or economic estimates; they illustrate how Skaergaard reads under different long term metal price assumptions. That is what the senior-producer realized prices look like when you push them through an undeveloped resource estimate.THE STRUCTURAL POSITIONThe 2022 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource on Skaergaard, prepared by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., established a Total Indicated and Inferred Resource of 364.37 million tonnes at 2.17 g/t PdEq, with the Indicated category alone at 158.95 million tonnes grading 2.22 g/t PdEq. That equates to 25.4 Moz palladium-equivalent and 23.5 Moz gold-equivalent across the combined Indicated and Inferred categories, which on an illustrative basis and before any technical or economic factors, corresponds to a gross undiscounted in-situ metal value of approximately $68 billion at February 2026 metal prices[3]. Greenland Mines holds an 80% direct interest in the Project and an option on the remaining 20%.The 2022 base case used $1,725/oz Pd, $1,800/oz Au, and $1,250/oz Pt. SLR's three sensitivity scenarios — Low, Medium, and High — applied updated metal price assumptions ranging from $3,000/oz Au in the Low case to $5,000/oz Au in the High case, leaving every other technical input untouched[2]. The dominant variable in the read is the gold price.Senior gold producers are currently realizing approximately $4,800 to $4,900 per ounce. The high-price sensitivity scenario is broadly aligned with that realized-price range, while still representing an upside long-term price case in SLR's framework. SLR explicitly notes that the increases in equivalent grades and contained PdEq metal are primarily driven by higher gold prices, and considers the high-price sensitivity case relatively aggressive, viewing the Low and Medium price sets as more reasonable long-term reference points[2]. The 2026 field, drill, and bulk-sample campaign is fully funded.President Bo Møller Stensgaard, Ph.D., described the result as the kind of scale and price leverage that long-term institutional and strategic partners look for in the next generation of precious- and critical-metal projects[2].
READ THE ENTIRE REPORT ON GREENLAND MINES LTD HERETHE SENIOR GOLD CYCLEFour U.S.-listed senior gold producers reported Q1 2026 results in the same window as the Greenland Mines sensitivity work — each one a different read on what realized gold prices in the $4,800 to $4,900 range are doing to the precious-metals industry.Newmont (NYSE: NEM) — the world's largest gold producer — reported Q1 2026 results on April 23, 2026, with all-time record free cash flow of $3.1 billion, revenue of $7.31 billion (up 46% year-on-year), and adjusted earnings per share of $2.90 (an all-time quarterly record). Average realized gold price was $4,900 per ounce; gold by-product all-in sustaining cost was $1,029 per ounce; attributable gold production was 1.3 million ounces[1]. The Board authorized an additional $6.0 billion for share repurchases. Newmont remains on track for full-year 2026 production guidance of 5.3 million attributable gold ounces. CEO Natascha Viljoen credited "strong operational and financial performance"[1]. For investors trying to understand what the gold supercycle looks like at the income-statement level of the largest producer in the world, Newmont's Q1 is the cleanest available data point.Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX) rebranded from "Gold" to "Mining" in May 2025, with its NYSE ticker changing from GOLD to B — a structural acknowledgment that the Company is now a substantial gold-and-copper producer rather than a pure gold play. Q4 2025 results, released February 5, 2026, included record quarterly operating cash flow of $2.73 billion, free cash flow of $1.62 billion, and net earnings per share of $1.43 — the highest in the Company's history. Full-year 2025 production was 3.26 million ounces of gold and a record 220,000 tonnes of copper. The 2026 guidance range is 2.9 to 3.25 million gold ounces at a $4,500/oz price assumption, with all-in sustaining costs guided to $1,760 to $1,950 per ounce[4]. The Board has authorized preparations for an Initial Public Offering of a new entity ("NewCo") holding Barrick's North American gold assets — including its joint venture interests in Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo, plus the wholly owned Fourmile discovery in Nevada — targeted for completion by late 2026. The structural signal is straightforward: the largest producers are now actively unlocking value through asset-level repricings and corporate restructurings.Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) reported Q1 2026 results on April 30, 2026, with payable gold production of 825,109 ounces, record quarterly operating margins, record adjusted net income of $1.7 billion (up 121% year-on-year), and free cash flow of $732 million[5]. All-in sustaining cost was $1,483 per ounce. Operations were led by Detour Lake (record quarterly mill throughput at Macassa), Canadian Malartic, and Fosterville. The Hope Bay project in Nunavut, Canada is expected to advance to a construction decision in May 2026. Full-year 2026 production guidance is 3.3 to 3.5 million gold ounces — a 20% to 30% production growth pipeline over the next decade. Agnico Eagle is the operational illustration of what an Arctic and Tier-1 jurisdiction-focused gold producer looks like at current realized prices.Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC) (TSX: K) reported Q1 2026 results on April 29, 2026, with revenue of $2.41 billion (up 61% year-on-year), production of 492,563 gold-equivalent ounces, and an average realized gold price of $4,873 per ounce[6]. Most importantly, free cash flow was approximately $840 million — the fourth consecutive quarterly record. Margins reached a record $3,476 per gold-equivalent ounce, outpacing the rise in the gold price itself. The Company ended Q1 with $2.2 billion in cash and $1.4 billion in net cash. Full-year 2026 guidance remains 2.0 million gold-equivalent ounces at a production cost of sales of $1,360 per ounce and an all-in sustaining cost of $1,730 per ounce. Kinross is targeting return of approximately 40% of free cash flow to shareholders in 2026 through dividends and buybacks. For investors evaluating the cash-flow conversion economics of the senior gold cycle, Kinross's margin expansion is the cleanest measure available.THE GRML POSITIONAgainst that backdrop — four senior gold producers reporting record financial metrics on realized gold prices in the $4,800 to $4,900 range — Greenland Mines' May 7 sensitivity work translates the cycle into a tangible deposit-level number on one of the largest undeveloped Pd-Au-Pt systems on Earth.The H5 horizon — historically the highest-grade zone in the Skaergaard deposit — moves from 2.85 g/t PdEq Indicated in the 2022 base case to 6.56 g/t PdEq Indicated in the High case. Total Indicated PdEq content moves from 11.41 Moz (2022) to 16.58 Moz; total Inferred from 14.11 Moz to 21.92 Moz[2]. SLR also recommends that any future Mineral Resource updates be reported on a net smelter return (NSR) basis rather than using metal equivalents, in line with evolving practice under SK 1300 and NI 43-101.The Skaergaard intrusion has been studied since the 1990s. Approximately $30 million of historical exploration investment has gone into building the 2022 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource. SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. is the Qualified Person firm. GTK Mintec is driving metallurgy and pilot processing at the Geological Survey of Finland's Outokumpu facility. WSP is leading the environmental baseline. Greenland Mines and its 80%-owned subsidiary Major Precious Greenland A/S were admitted to the European Raw Materials Alliance on April 22, 2026[7]. The 2026 field, drill, and bulk-sample campaign is fully funded.The 2026 program will begin evaluating open-pit and bulk-mining scenarios alongside the underground concept — a separate, mine-method-based lever independent of any further metal-price assumption[2].The deposit didn't change. The math around it did.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhat did the May 7, 2026 SLR sensitivity study actually conclude?Applied to the existing 2022 underground-constrained Mineral Resource model, with all geologic and technical inputs held constant, the high-price sensitivity case indicates 16.58 million ounces of palladium-equivalent Indicated and 21.92 million ounces of palladium-equivalent Inferred — a 45% grade uplift in the Indicated category and 55% in the Inferred versus the 2022 base case[2].Why is gold the dominant variable in the sensitivity analysis?Approximately 73% of the contained metal at Skaergaard is in the platinum group metals and 27% is in gold by ounce count, but on a value basis, gold accounts for the majority of the in-situ value at $5,000/oz Au in the high-price case. That is why a move in the gold price deck from $1,800 (2022) to $5,000 (2026 high case) drives the dominant share of the 45% to 55% PdEq grade uplift[2].What is the 2026 program?A fully funded summer field, drill, and bulk-sample campaign supported by SLR Consulting (geology / Qualified Person), GTK Mintec (metallurgy and pilot processing at the Geological Survey of Finland's Outokumpu facility), and WSP (environmental baseline). The program will begin evaluating open-pit and bulk-mining scenarios alongside the underground concept[2].Has GRML completed a feasibility study?No. The most recent technical work is the 2022 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study, or feasibility study has been completed on the Skaergaard Project.For more information about Greenland Mines Ltd.

Lake Victoria Gold Mobilizes Rigs for Sterilization Drilling at Imwelo as Project Advances Toward ProductionMay 7, 2026 11:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.USANewsGroup.com News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2026 /CNW/ -- Companies mentioned: Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) (FSE: E1K), Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM), Integra Resources Corp. (NYSE-A: ITRG) (TSXV: ITR), Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE-A: NAK) (TSX: NDM), Contango Silver & Gold Inc. (NYSE-A: CTGO) (TSX: CTGO). Key Takeaways:Reverse circulation drill rigs are mobilizing to site at Lake Victoria Gold's Imwelo Project this week, with a ~21-day, ~1,050-metre sterilization program scheduled to begin mid-May ahead of construction.The financing stack is structured and advancing toward close: a US$25 million gold loan facility from Monetary Metals (non-dilutive, repayable in gold) plus a fully committed C$3.8 million convertible debenture financing.Imwelo is fully permitted for mine construction and production, with metallurgical testing confirmed gold recovery rates of up to ~97% in metallurgical testwork using conventional methods.Tanzania has formally begun incorporating its 16% statutory free-carried interest in the Tembo mining licences, signalling regulatory progress on Lake Victoria Gold's second 100% owned project.Macro setup: J.P. Morgan projects gold pushing toward $5,000 per ounce by Q4 2026; State Street's April 2026 Gold Monitor reports sovereign gold reserves at an all-time high of 2,309 tonnes; the World Gold Council expects another ~850 tonnes of central bank gold purchases through 2026.When global mine output is hitting a wall and central banks are buying every available ounce, the developers that already have a permit, advancing funding, and crews on site stop looking like junior miners and start to attract increased market attention as potential contributors to future supply. That is the lane Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) (FSE: E1K) is now operating in.This week, the Company announced that reverse circulation ("RC") drill rigs are mobilizing to the fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania, with a ~21-day, ~1,050-metre sterilization drilling program scheduled to commence mid-May. The work is a defined pre-construction workstream — designed to confirm that planned plant, accommodation, and support facilities are not sitting on potentially mineralized ground that would later create a sterilization headache. Results will inform final site layout, engineering design, and the development sequencing that bridges the project from permitting to construction.Planned drilling includes ~500 metres at the proposed plant area (10 holes to ~50m depth), ~550 metres at the accommodation and stores area (11 holes to ~50m depth), and additional testing of NW and EW trending magnetic anomalies. The program is expected to be completed within approximately three weeks.Marc Cernovitch, President & CEO of Lake Victoria Gold, on the program:"Mobilizing drill rigs to site marks another important step as we advance Imwelo toward development and construction. This program is focused on de-risking the project at the infrastructure level, ensuring that key facilities are optimally located ahead of construction. With engineering work progressing in parallel, we continue to move Imwelo forward in a disciplined manner toward near-term production."Financing Strategy Supporting Near-TermConstructionEarlier this year, Lake Victoria Gold closed a binding term sheet for a gold loan facility worth up to US$25 million from Monetary Metals, backed by up to 6,000 ounces of gold. The Company also locked in a fully committed C$3.8 million convertible debenture financing led by a long-term significant shareholder. Together, the deals provide a clear pathway to fund near-term development activities and advance the project toward construction.The Monetary Metals gold loan is non-dilutive and production-linked. Repayment comes in gold ounces, not cash, so the facility scales naturally with output. The convertible debenture carries a 5.0% annual interest rate, converts at $0.31 per share, and includes half-warrants exercisable at $0.40. For a developer at this stage, the structure is purpose-built to advance the project without flooding the market with new shares.Imwelo's Technical Foundation Is Already In PlaceImwelo has confirmed gold recovery rates of up to approximately 97% in metallurgical testwork using conventional methods. A completed drill program at Area C returned grades including 11.88 g/t gold over 1.33 metres from 169.75m and confirmed mineralization extending well beyond the current pit design at depth and laterally. Geotechnical and specific-gravity studies have supported potential consolidation of Area C into a single open-pit design — a structural simplification that could improve the project's economics and reduce execution complexity.Tembo: The Optionality LayerLake Victoria Gold's 100% owned Tembo Project sits adjacent to Barrick's Bulyanhulu Mine and has more than 50,000 metres of historical drilling on it. Recent surface artisanal sampling returned grades up to 35.45 g/t gold. Tanzania's government has formally begun incorporating its statutory 16% free-carried interest in the Tembo mining licences — a required regulatory step that signals the project is advancing through the country's established framework.The Company advancing toward a binding toll-milling agreement with Nyati Resources, a well-established Tanzanian operator, to begin toll milling at Tembo. That deal would allow Lake Victoria Gold to process material through an existing facility, potentially opening a pathway to early cash flow without heavy upfront capital spending.Strategic Backing and Insider AlignmentLake Victoria Gold counts Barrick Gold among its strategic equity investors and the Taifa Group — Tanzania's largest mining contractor, with over 30 years of in-country experience and longstanding work for Petra, De Beers, Barrick, and AngloGold Ashanti — as a strategic partner. Through its wholly Tanzanian-owned subsidiary Taifa Mining, the Group has agreed to take an equity stake in the Company and will conduct contract mining and civil works for the Imwelo Project. Taifa owns the largest fleet of mining equipment in Tanzania.Management, directors, and strategic partners collectively own more than 60% of outstanding shares — an unusually high alignment ratio for a name at this development stage.NOTE: For a Cautionary Note on Production Decision, please see the Disclaimer below.In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) reported first quarter 2026 results, including record quarterly operating margins and adjusted net income.Payable gold production in Q1 was 825,109 ounces — approximately 24% of the mid-point of full-year guidance — at production costs per ounce of $1,158, total cash costs of $1,093 per ounce, and all-in sustaining costs of $1,483 per ounce. Solid production combined with realized gold prices of $4,861 per ounce delivered net income of $1,695 million ($3.39 per share) and record adjusted net income of $1,706 million ($3.41 per share). Free cash flow was $732 million in the quarter. Fitch Ratings upgraded Agnico Eagle's long-term issuer default rating from BBB+ to A in April 2026."We delivered a solid start to 2026, achieving record operating margins while production and costs tracked well to plan," 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."Integra Resources Corp. (NYSE-A: ITRG) (TSXV: ITR) on April 23, 2026 reported first quarter 2026 production results from its Florida Canyon Mine in Nevada, including gold production of 12,635 ounces and a record mining rate of 76,800 total tonnes per day, while strengthening its balance sheet with $105.6 million in cash following a $61 million bought deal financing.The company has allocated $62–$68 million in sustaining capital for 2026, focused on capitalized waste stripping, mobile fleet upgrades, and infill drilling to position the mine for improved cost performance in subsequent years."The first quarter of 2026 marked a period of strong operational progress at Florida Canyon, with record mining rates and the successful ramp-up of our Phase IIIB leach pad. While gold production in the quarter reflects temporary constraints, the deferred ounces are expected to be recovered over the balance of the year. Importantly, we maintained our full-year production guidance, underscoring our confidence in the operation," said CEO George Salamis of Integra Resources.Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (NYSE-A: NAK) (TSX: NDM) is actively contesting the EPA's Clean Water Act veto of its Pebble Project in Southwest Alaska. On April 14, 2026, plaintiffs filed response briefs in Alaska Federal Court challenging a Department of Justice brief filed February 17, 2026, and on April 23, 2026, the Federal District Court scheduled oral argument for June 25, 2026.The Pebble Project, located 200 miles from Anchorage, represents one of the largest undeveloped gold-copper-molybdenum deposits in the world, with the company maintaining it could generate significant revenue for Alaska and the broader U.S. economy."Our strategy has always been grounded in a solid legal case that this veto was illegal, and a high level of confidence that the court will agree with us," said Ron Thiessen, President and CEO of Northern Dynasty Minerals. "The flaws in this brief only increase that confidence."Contango Silver & Gold Inc. (NYSE-A: CTGO) (TSX: CTGO) announced a $9.0 million cash distribution from the Peak Gold JV and outlined a fully funded 2026 exploration program.The 2026 program includes a sustained underground drill program at Lucky Shot in Alaska to support a Feasibility Study due H1 2027, pivotal infrastructure construction and permitting at the Johnson Tract Critical Metals project, and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate at the Kitsault Valley project followed by a comprehensive drilling program supporting a preliminary development plan due H1 2027. Total planned 2026 drilling is approximately 60,000 metres across the portfolio. The company began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on April 13, 2026 under symbol CTGO, while continuing to trade on NYSE American."The $9 million cash distribution from the Peak Gold JV underscores the unique strength of our business model — using cash flow from our producing mine operations to fund the aggressive advancement of our 100%-owned assets," said Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We are hitting the ground running in 2026 with the strongest balance sheet and the most aggressive operational schedule in our Company's history."CONTACT:

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures, cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital and, where applicable, their related per share measures, are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards. For a description of the composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.Net IncomeNet 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 EBITDAAdjusted 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 ActivitiesCash 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 FlowFree 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.Capital ExpendituresThe table below sets out a summary of capital expenditures, in each case broken down between sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures by mine, and capitalized exploration in the first quarter of 2026.Summary of Capital Expenditures

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 TaxesThe 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 UncertaintyWhile 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 $2 net of the fuel sealift to Nunavut.Currency HedgesThe Company's full year 2026 cost guidance is based on assumed exchange rates of 1.36 C$/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.TariffsThe 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 ReturnsCash 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 ReturnsThe 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 BidIn 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 2026The 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.Expected Dividend Record and Payment Dates for the 2026 Fiscal YearRecord DatePayment DateMarch 2, 2026*March 16, 2026*June 1, 2026**June 15, 2026**September 1, 2026September 15, 2026December 1, 2026December 15, 2026*    Paid

For a description see "Notes to Investors Regarding Certain Project Evaluations" below**   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 yearsCanadian Malartic – Potential for 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of incremental annual gold productionThe 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 DevelopmentIn 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 #2The 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 OdysseyDuring 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]MarbanAt 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.WasamacAt 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 productionIn 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 copperLocated 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.[Upper Beaver – Composite Cross and Longitudinal Sections]Hope Bay – Potential for 400,000 to 425,000 ounces of annual gold productionIn 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.First Quarter 2026 Operating ResultsRegional operating statistics and highlights for the first quarter of 2026 are set out below.

$               998Regional HighlightsGold 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 pitAt 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 quarterAt 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 mineAt 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 ouncesAt 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 quarterAt 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.

$              1,041Regional HighlightsGold 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 tonnesAt 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 anticipatedAt 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 2026The 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 2026Detour Lake has scheduled shutdowns for regular mill maintenance in the second and fourth quarters of 2026, each lasting seven days.

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 TonneTotal Cash Costs per OunceTotal 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 TonneMinesite 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.Total Production Costs by Mine

Notes:
(i)This inventory adjustment reflects production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory. Included in inventory adjustments for Canadian Malartic for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is C$1.5 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.(ii)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 minesite costs per tonne. 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 "Minesite Costs per Tonne".All-in sustaining costs per ounceAll-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).(UnitedStates dollars per ounce, except where noted)Three Months EndedMarch 31,

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 assetsAdjusted net incomeAdjusted 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.

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 filingsEBITDA and adjusted EBITDAEBITDA 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.

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 associateCash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital and its per share ratioCash 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 capitalFree 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.

$          1.51Operating marginOperating 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.

$ 1,700,515Capital expendituresCapital 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

Net cashNet 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.

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.Forward-Looking StatementsThe information in this news release has been prepared as at April 30, 2026. Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and are referred to herein as "forward-looking statements".

Such statements reflect the Company's views as at the date of this news release and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Agnico Eagle as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of the forward-looking statements contained herein, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the assumptions set forth herein and in management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 MD&A") and the Company's Annual Information Form (the "AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with Canadian securities regulators and that are included in its Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Form 40-F") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as well as: that there are no significant disruptions affecting operations; that production, permitting, development, expansion and the ramp-up of operations at each of Agnico Eagle's properties proceeds on a basis consistent with current expectations and plans; that the Company's plans for its mining operations are not changed or amended in a material way; that the relevant metal prices, foreign exchange rates and prices for key mining and construction inputs (including labour and electricity) will be consistent with Agnico Eagle's expectations; that the effect of tariffs or trade disputes will not materially affect the price or availability of the inputs the Company uses at its operations; that Agnico Eagle's current estimates of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and metal recovery are accurate; that there are no material delays in the timing for completion of ongoing growth projects; that seismic activity at the Company's operations at LaRonde, Goldex, Fosterville and other properties is as expected by the Company and that the Company's efforts to mitigate its effect on mining operations, including with respect to community relations, are successful; that the Company's current plans to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are successful; that the Company's current plans to optimize production are successful; that there are no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environment; that governments, the Company or others do not take measures in response to pandemics or other health emergencies or otherwise that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Company's ability to operate its business or its productivity; and that measures taken relating to, or other effects of, pandemics or other health emergencies do not affect the Company's ability to obtain necessary supplies and deliver them to its mine sites. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; uncertainty of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, project development, capital expenditures and other costs; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; inflationary pressures; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs; seismic activity at the Company's operations, including at LaRonde, Goldex and Fosterville; mining risks; community protests, including by Indigenous groups; risks associated with foreign operations; risks associated with joint ventures; governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company's stock price; risks associated with the Company's currency, fuel and by-product metal derivative strategies; the current interest rate environment; the potential for major economies to encounter a slowdown in economic activity or a recession; the potential for increased conflict or hostilities in various regions, including Europe, South America and the Middle East; and the extent and manner of communicable diseases or outbreaks, and measures taken by governments, the Company or others to attempt to mitigate the spread thereof may directly or indirectly affect the Company. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the AIF and 2025 MD&A filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and included in the Form 40-F filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the SEC. Other than as required by law, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.Notes to Investors Regarding Certain Project EvaluationsThe 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.Scientific and Technical InformationThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release relating to Nunavut, Quebec and Finland operations has been approved by Dominique Girard, Eng., Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer – Nunavut, Quebec & Europe; relating to Ontario, Australia and Mexico operations has been approved by Natasha Vaz, P.Eng., Executive Vice-President & Chief Operating Officer – Ontario, Australia & Mexico; and relating to exploration has been approved by Guy Gosselin, Eng. and P.Geo., Executive Vice-President, Exploration, each of whom is a "Qualified Person" for the purposes of the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").Additional InformationAdditional information about each of the Company's material mineral projects as at December?31, 2025, including information regarding data verification, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources and the risks that could materially affect the development of the mineral reserves and mineral resources required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 and paragraphs 3.4(a), (c) and (d) of NI 43-101 can be found in the Company's AIF and 2025 MD&A filed on SEDAR+ and with the SEC on EDGAR and in the following technical reports filed on SEDAR+ in respect of the Company's material mineral properties: Detour Lake Operation, Ontario, Canada, NI 43-101 Technical Report (September 20, 2024); NI 43-101 Technical Report of the LaRonde complex in Quebec, Canada (March 24, 2023); NI 43-101 Technical Report Canadian Malartic Mine, Quebec, Canada (March 25, 2021); Technical Report on the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at Meadowbank Gold complex including the Amaruq Satellite Mine Development, Nunavut, Canada as at December 31, 2017 (February 14, 2018); and the Updated Technical Report on the Meliadine Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada (February 11, 2015).APPENDIX A – EXPLORATION DETAILSEast Gouldie and Odyssey deposits at Odyssey mineDrill holeDeposit / zoneFrom

Cascadia Announces Closing of Equity InvestmentApril 23, 2026 3:34 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

VANCOUVER, BC, April 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Cascadia Minerals Ltd. ("Cascadia") (TSXV: CAM) (OTCQB: CAMNF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") (TSX: AEM) (NYSE: AEM) and certain other arms' length subscribers (the "Flow-Through Participants"). Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are stated in Canadian dollars.







The Offering consisted of the issuance and sale of:19,315,300 units of Cascadia (the "Subscribed Units") to Agnico Eagle at a price of $0.26 per Subscribed Unit for total gross proceeds of $5,021,978; and10,000,000 critical minerals flow-through units (the "CFT Units") to the Flow-Through Participants at a price of $0.384 per CFT Unit for total gross proceeds of $3,840,000.Each Subscribed Unit consists of one common share of Cascadia (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.32 per Warrant until April 23, 2028. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscribed Units will be used for general working capital purposes and to fund exploration activities at Cascadia's Carmacks Project.Each CFT Unit consists of one flow-through Common Share (a "CFT Share") and one-half of one Warrant. The CFT Units (including the CFT Shares and Warrants underlying the CFT Units) will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). The gross proceeds from the sale of the CFT Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred in connection with critical minerals exploration at the Carmacks Property on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced to the Flow-Through Participants with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CFT Units. Cascadia understands that Agnico Eagle has acquired the securities underlying the CFT Units from the Flow-Through Participants.No finders' fees were paid on any portion of the Offering. Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities of Cascadia issued as part of the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing of the Offering. Following the closing of the Offering, Agnico Eagle owns 29,315,300 Common Shares and 14,657,650 Warrants, representing approximately 14.17% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 19.85% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of the Warrants held by Agnico Eagle).Cascadia and Agnico Eagle have entered into an investor rights agreement pursuant to which Agnico Eagle is entitled to certain rights, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings or top-up its holding in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership in Cascadia or acquire up to a 19.99% interest in Cascadia, on a partially-diluted basis; and (b) for so long as Agnico Eagle holds an interest in Cascadia of at least 5.0% (i) the right, but not the obligation, 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, and (ii) a right of first offer over any transfer by Cascadia of all or any portion of Cascadia's Carmacks Project.About CascadiaCascadia's flagship asset is the 180 km2 Carmacks Project, located within central Yukon, Canada, 35 km southeast of the past producing Minto Mine. The road-accessible Carmacks Project has a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or 1.07% copper equivalent. A 2023 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated positive economic potential, with a $330.1 M post-tax NPV (5%) and 38% after-tax IRR at US$4.25/lb copper and US$2,000/oz gold. Planning is underway for a fully-funded 15,000 m diamond drill program commencing in spring 2026, focused on expanding the existing resource at Carmacks.Cascadia is also exploring the Stikine Terrane in Yukon for new gold-copper porphyry discoveries through its Strategic Alliance with Agnico Eagle. The Stikine Terrane extends into Yukon from British Columbia's Golden Triangle and is a highly prospective target area for gold-copper porphyry mineralization. While the expression of the Stikine Terrane in British Columbia has been explored in detail – resulting in numerous discoveries – its expression in Yukon is comparatively underexplored and not well understood.QA/QCCopper equivalent calculations for the Carmacks Deposit use metal prices of US$4.00/lb for copper, US$2,500/oz for gold, US$30/oz for silver and US$20/lb for molybdenum. Recovery factors of 82% for copper, 70% for gold, 69% for silver and 70% for molybdenum were used, based on recovery projections from the 2023 PEA study. For more information on the 2023 PEA please see the Technical Report entitled Carmacks Project Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Yukon, Canada dated March 6, 2023, authored by SGS Canada Inc. for Granite Creek Copper Ltd.

Rupert Resources to Be Acquired by Agnico EagleApril 20, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire
Rupert Resources Ltd. (“Rupert” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM, TSX: AEM) (“Agnico Eagle”) pursuant to which Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Rupert (the “Rupert Shares”) it does not already own by way of plan of arrangement (the “Transaction”).


Transaction Summary


Under the terms of the Transaction, each Rupert Share will be exchanged for: (i) upfront consideration of 0.0401 of a common share of Agnico Eagle (“Agnico Share”), representing approximately C$12.00 based on the five-day volume weighted average trading price per Agnico Share as at April 17, 2026 (the “Share Consideration”); and (ii) contingent consideration of up to C$3.00, in the form of a contingent value right (“CVR” and together with the Share Consideration, the “Consideration”), that is payable in cash upon certain milestones being achieved over the 10 year term of the CVR. The CVR milestones, which relate to the mining rights currently 100% owned by Rupert (the “Acquired Properties”), are as follows:



C$1.00 upon the public announcement of at least 5 million ounces of gold in mineral reserves on the Acquired Properties;



C$1.00 upon the public announcement of: (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



C$1.00 upon the public announcement of: (i) the Acquired Properties reaching commercial production and (ii) the Acquired Properties reaching 10 million ounces of gold in aggregate mineral reserves and production.



The total Transaction value based on the Share Consideration is approximately C$2.9 billion (on a 100% equity ownership basis).


The Share Consideration represents approximately a 67% premium to the closing price of the Rupert Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) as of April 17, 2026, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Transaction.


The Transaction is supported by a formal valuation and fairness opinion from Origin Merchant Partners (“Origin”) and a fairness opinion from BMO Capital Markets and is unanimously recommended by a special committee comprised entirely of independent directors of Rupert (the “Special Committee”) and the Board of Directors of Rupert (“Rupert Board”).


Benefits to Rupert Shareholders



Immediate and attractive premium for Rupert shareholders, with the Share Consideration delivering a 67% premium to the closing price



The Share Consideration provides ownership in a top-tier, senior gold producer, offering enhanced liquidity, scale and diversified exposure to a portfolio of high-quality operating mines and development projects, in addition to exposure to the comprehensive consolidation of the broader Central Lapland Greenstone Belt



Continued participation in the Acquired Properties, including the longer-term upside of the Ikkari gold project (“Ikkari”), through the Share Consideration with the CVRs rewarding future mineral reserve growth and successful progression to commercial production, with up to an additional C$3.00 per share in cash



Agnico Eagle has the financial strength and proven operating expertise to advance Ikkari through development into production, and unlock its exploration potential leveraging existing regional infrastructure and more than 20 years of operating experience in Finland, including the nearby Kittilä mine



The Transaction provides a unique opportunity to unlock development and operating synergies by integrating Ikkari within Agnico Eagle’s regional management, procurement and tax structure



Rupert’s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Crew commented:


“We are pleased to announce this Transaction with Agnico Eagle. It reflects the quality of the Ikkari Project and the tremendous work of our team, who discovered and advanced Ikkari from grassroots exploration into one of the most significant development projects in the gold sector. Rupert shareholders will retain meaningful exposure to the Acquired Properties, including Ikkari’s future upside through the CVRs, while also participating in Agnico Eagle’s broader portfolio. We believe this Transaction combines our local expertise at Ikkari with the right long-term owner to realise its full potential for shareholders, employees, local communities and regional stakeholders.”


Transaction Conditions and Timing


The Transaction will be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).


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


The 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 Transaction requires: (i) an independent formal valuation prepared in accordance with MI 61-101 (the “Formal Valuation”); 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 any other persons required to be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting (the “Minority Approval”).


The Arrangement Agreement provides for customary deal protection provisions, including non-solicitation covenants of Rupert and “fiduciary out” provisions in favour of Rupert. Until securityholder approval is obtained, the Rupert Board is able to consider unsolicited acquisition proposals and where the Rupert Board determines that an acquisition proposal is a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) it may change its recommendation that securityholders vote to approve the Transaction and enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement). However, Rupert must hold a vote on the Transaction even if the Rupert Board has changed its recommendation. In addition, the Arrangement Agreement provides for a customary termination fee payable by Rupert if it changes its recommendation or enters into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement and in certain other specified circumstances. Each of Rupert and Agnico Eagle has made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Arrangement Agreement, including covenants by Rupert regarding the conduct of its business prior to the closing of the Transaction.


In connection with the 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 (collectively, the “Voting Support Agreements”) 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 Transaction, subject to the terms of the Voting Support Agreements.


Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to closing set out in the Arrangement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Transaction will be completed early in the third quarter of 2026. Upon closing of the 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.


Special Committee and Board Recommendations


The Special Committee, on behalf of the Rupert Board, obtained and oversaw the preparation of the Formal Valuation from Origin, which concluded that, subject to the scope of review, assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, as of April 17, 2026, the fair market value of the Rupert Shares was in the range of C$9.00 to C$12.50 per Rupert Share, and the value of the CVRs was in the range of C$0.40 to C$0.90 per CVR. Each of Origin and BMO Capital Markets has also provided an opinion (the “Fairness Opinions”) to the Special Committee and to the Rupert Board respectively stating that, as of the date of such opinions and based upon and subject to various assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration to be received by Rupert shareholders (other than Agnico Eagle and its affiliates) pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.


The Rupert Board (with Agnico Eagle’s nominee director recusing herself) has evaluated the Arrangement Agreement with the company’s management and legal and financial advisors and, following the receipt and review of a unanimous recommendation from the Special Committee which took into account, among other things, the Formal Valuation and the Fairness Opinions, the Rupert Board has unanimously (with Agnico Eagle’s nominee director abstaining) approved the Transaction and determined that the Transaction is in the best interests of Rupert, and has resolved to recommend that Rupert securityholders vote in favour of the Transaction, all subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Arrangement Agreement.


The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the applicable documents. A copy of the Fairness Opinions and the Formal Valuation, and a description of the various factors considered by the Special Committee and the Board in their respective determinations to approve the Transaction, as well as other relevant background information, will be included in the management information circular to be sent to the securityholders of Rupert in advance of the Meeting expected to be held in June 2026 (the “Information Circular”). Copies of the Arrangement Agreement, the plan of arrangement, the Voting Support Agreements and certain related documents will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and will be available in due course on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Rupert’s issuer profile.


None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement 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 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.

Unless otherwise indicated, the scientific and technical disclosure included in this press release, including all Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates contained in such technical disclosure, has been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on May 10, 2014. Readers are cautioned that Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all, or any part, of Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves. Inferred Mineral Resources are Mineral Resources for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated based on limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. Inferred Mineral Resources are based on limited information and have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility, although it is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.

Forward-looking statements or information in this news release relate to, among other things: the proposed acquisition by Agnico Eagle of all of the Aurion Shares and the terms thereof; statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the Transaction for Aurion; the anticipated filing of materials on SEDAR+; the approval of the Transaction by Aurion Shareholders; regulatory approvals and closing conditions to the Transaction; the expected date of completion of the Transaction; the expectation 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 and other statements that are not historical fact.The forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release reflect Aurion's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Aurion, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies.Aurion cautions the reader that forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information contained in this news release and Aurion has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. In addition, in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, Aurion has made certain assumptions, including the ability of the parties to receive, in a timely manner and on satisfactory terms, the necessary regulatory, court and shareholder approvals; the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the other conditions for the completion of the Transaction, and other expectations and assumptions concerning the proposed Transaction.

Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors are identified in Aurion's most recent management's discussion and analysis, which has been filed with the Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities, as applicable.Although Aurion has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set out or implied by the forward-looking statements and information, this list is not exhaustive and there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended.

AGNICO EAGLE TO CONSOLIDATE FINLAND'S CENTRAL LAPLAND GREENSTONE BELT IN THREE SEPARATE TRANSACTIONSApril 20, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

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 decadeProvides 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 expertiseCreates 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 boundaryConsolidates 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 explorationIntegrating 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 constraintAgnico 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 RationaleThe 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 transactionsThese 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 UpsideThe 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 flowIkkari 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 lifeIkkari 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 infrastructureAgnico 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 2027The 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 expansionThe main areas of interest for an initial three-year exploration program are set out belowThe 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 upsideThe 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 mineOn 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 IkkariThe 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 nearbyFigure 2.

Cascadia Announces Strategic Exploration Alliance, Earn-In Agreement and Equity Investment with Agnico EagleMarch 30, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

VANCOUVER, BC, March 30, 2026 /CNW/ - Cascadia Minerals Ltd. ("Cascadia") (TSXV: CAM) (OTCQB: CAMNF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic alliance agreement (the "Strategic Alliance Agreement") with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") (TSX: AEM) (NYSE: AEM), pursuant to which the parties have established a multi-year strategic alliance (the "Strategic Alliance") for the identification and advancement of gold-copper exploration properties in Yukon's Stikine Terrane. Cascadia and Agnico Eagle have also entered into an earn-in agreement (the "Catch Earn-In Agreement"), under which Agnico Eagle may earn an interest in Cascadia's Catch Property (the "Catch Earn-In"). Concurrently with the entering into of these agreements, Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire securities representing an ownership interest in Cascadia of approximately 19.90% on a partially-diluted basis. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are stated in Canadian dollars.HighlightsThe Strategic Alliance will focus on gold and copper exploration in Yukon's Stikine Terrane, which extends into Yukon from British Columbia's Golden Triangle and is a highly prospective and underexplored target area for gold-copper porphyry mineralization;A minimum of $500,000 per year of generative exploration will be funded by Agnico Eagle through the Strategic Alliance;Cascadia's Macks, Milner, Byng and Mars properties, as well as 2,834 claims recently staked by Cascadia, will be explored as part of the Strategic Alliance;The Catch Earn-In Agreement provides Agnico Eagle with the right to earn up to an 80% interest in Cascadia's Catch Property by funding $30 million in work expenditures over a six-year period;Up to $5 million in exploration funded by Agnico Eagle is planned for the 2026 field season under the Strategic Alliance and the Catch Earn-In; andEquity issuances for an aggregate of $8.9 million, including a $7.6 million equity investment by Agnico Eagle for 19.90% ownership interest in Cascadia (on a partially-diluted basis) will provide Cascadia with additional working capital and support the acceleration of exploration at Cascadia's 100%-owned Carmacks Property, which Cascadia will continue to advance in parallel with the Strategic Alliance.Cascadia's Chief Executive Officer, Graham Downs, commented: "We are delighted to partner with Agnico Eagle to explore the Stikine Terrane in Yukon, which we believe offers the potential for significant new discoveries. The Strategic Alliance will allow us to capitalize on our first-mover status in Yukon's Stikine Terrane while advancing our flagship Carmacks Property. With a recently completed staking program, Cascadia now controls over 800 km2 of highly prospective ground which will be explored through the Strategic Alliance. Agnico Eagle's equity investment will provide us with additional working capital and allow for work at Carmacks to be accelerated, while the Strategic Alliance and Catch Earn-In will allow our Stikine Terrane projects to be advanced with minimal dilution to Cascadia shareholders."Figure 1 – Strategic Alliance Properties & Stikine TerraneStrategic AllianceUnder the terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, Agnico Eagle will provide annual funding over an initial three-year period for generative exploration work performed by Cascadia, as operator, within the Stikine Terrane in Yukon (the "Exploration Area").Following initial work, projects within the Exploration Area may be designated by either party (each such project, a "Designated Project") to be the subject of further exploration under an earn-in agreement. Each such earn-in agreement will provide Agnico Eagle with the right to earn a 51% interest in the Designated Project by funding work expenditures of $3 million over a three-year period. Upon any exercise by Agnico Eagle of its right to earn an interest in a Designated Project, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into a joint venture agreement which will provide, among other things, Agnico Eagle with the right to earn an additional 29% interest in such Designated Project (for a total interest of 80%) by funding work expenditures of $12 million over a further three-year period.Funding for staking and other acquisitions on behalf of the Strategic Alliance will be provided by Agnico Eagle outside of Agnico Eagle's annual commitment to fund generative exploration. Cascadia will act as the initial operator of the Strategic Alliance and any Designated Project.Cascadia recently staked 2,834 new claims in Yukon's Stikine Terrane which will be explored by the Strategic Alliance. These new claims comprise expansions of Cascadia's Macks, Milner, Byng and Mars properties, as well as four new properties, Bunker Hill, Hilo, Hyde and Mustard. The Catch Property is subject to a separate earn-in agreement which is described below.Catch Earn-In AgreementThe Catch Earn-In Agreement provides Agnico Eagle with the right to earn a 51% interest in Cascadia's Catch Property by funding exploration expenditures totaling $10 million over a three-year period, with a minimum of $1 million in expenditures committed to be spent by December 31, 2027.Upon exercise by Agnico Eagle of its right to earn an interest in the Catch Property, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into a joint venture agreement which will provide Agnico Eagle with the right to earn an additional 29% interest in the Catch Property (for a total interest of 80%) by funding exploration expenditures of $20 million over an additional three-year period. Cascadia will act as the initial operator under the Catch Earn-In Agreement. 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.Equity Investment and Flow-Through OfferingConcurrent with the execution of the Strategic Alliance Agreement and the Catch Earn-In Agreement, Agnico Eagle agreed to acquire 19,315,300 units of Cascadia (the "Subscribed Units") at a price of $0.26 per Subscribed Unit for total gross proceeds of $5,021,978 pursuant to a non-brokered private placement (the "Equity Investment"). Each Subscribed Unit will consist of one common share of Cascadia (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.32 per Warrant for twenty-four (24) months following closing. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscribed Units will be used for general working capital and to fund exploration activities at the Carmacks Project.In connection with its agreements with Agnico Eagle, Cascadia will issue 10,000,000 critical minerals flow-through units ("CFT Units") to arms' length subscribers (the "Flow-Through Participants") at a price of $0.384 per CFT Unit for total gross proceeds of $3,840,000 (together with the Equity Investment, the "Offering"). Each CFT Unit will consist of one flow-through Common Share (a "CFT Share") and one-half of one Warrant. Cascadia understands that Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire the securities underlying the CFT Units from the Flow-Through Participants.The CFT Units (including the CFT Shares and Warrants underlying the CFT Units) will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the CFT Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred in connection with critical minerals exploration at the Carmacks Property on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced to the Flow-Through Participants with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CFT Units.No finders' fees will be paid on any portion of the Offering. Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities of Cascadia issued as part of the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing of the Offering. Following the closing of the Offering, Agnico Eagle will 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 issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of the Warrants held by Agnico Eagle at such time).The Offering is expected to close on or about April 17, 2026, and is subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.Upon closing of the Offering, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into an investor rights agreement pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will be entitled to certain rights, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings or top-up its holding in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership in Cascadia or acquire up to a 19.99% interest in Cascadia, on a partially diluted basis; and (b) for so long as Agnico Eagle holds an interest in Cascadia of at least 5.0% (i) the right, but not the obligation, 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, and (ii) a right of first offer over any transfer by Cascadia of all or any portion of Cascadia's Carmacks Project.About CascadiaCascadia's flagship asset is the 180 km2 Carmacks Project, located within central Yukon, Canada, 35 km southeast of the past producing Minto Mine. The road-accessible Carmacks Project has a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or 1.07% copper equivalent. A 2023 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated positive economic potential, with a $330.1 M post-tax NPV (5%) and 38% after-tax IRR at US$4.25/lb copper and US$2,000/oz gold. Planning is underway for a fully-funded 15,000 m diamond drill program commencing in spring 2026, focused on expanding the existing resource at Carmacks.Cascadia is also exploring the Stikine Terrane in Yukon for new gold-copper porphyry discoveries through its Strategic Alliance with Agnico Eagle. The Stikine Terrane extends into Yukon from British Columbia's Golden Triangle and is a highly prospective target area for gold-copper porphyry mineralization. While the expression of the Stikine Terrane in British Columbia has been explored in detail – resulting in numerous discoveries – its expression in Yukon is comparatively underexplored and not well understood. Cascadia's alliance with Agnico Eagle includes a total of 9 properties, including the Catch Property, where Cascadia confirmed a new porphyry discovery in 2023.QA/QCCopper equivalent calculations for the Carmacks Deposit use metal prices of US$4.00/lb for copper, US$2,500/oz for gold, US$30/oz for silver and US$20/lb for molybdenum. Recovery factors of 82% for copper, 70% for gold, 69% for silver and 70% for molybdenum were used, based on recovery projections from the 2023 PEA study. For more information on the 2023 PEA please see the Technical Report entitled Carmacks Project Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Yukon, Canada dated March 6, 2023, authored by SGS Canada Inc. for Granite Creek Copper Ltd. A copy of this Technical Report is available on www.cascadiaminerals.com and on SEDAR+ under the Granite Creek Copper Ltd. profile.The technical information in this press release has been approved by Andrew Carne, P.Eng., VP Corporate Development for Cascadia and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.On behalf of Cascadia Minerals Ltd.Graham Downs, President and CEONEITHER THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements:This press release may contain "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws.

Gold miners slide as bullion deepens losses on rising rate expectationsMarch 23, 2026 6:29 AM
IH Market News
Shares of major gold mining companies fell sharply on Monday as gold prices dropped to their lowest level in four months, extending a steep decline from last week as geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns push investors to reassess the outlook for global interest rates.Leading producers including Newmont (NYSE:NEM), Barrick (NYSE:B), Agnico Eagle (NYSE:AEM) and AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU) were each down roughly 5% to 6% in pre-market trading as of 11:22 a.m. ET.The pullback in mining stocks comes as spot gold slid 4.4% to $4,292.88 per ounce, marking a ninth straight day of losses. Earlier in the session, prices had dropped more than 8% to $4,097.99, the lowest level recorded since November 24.The latest drop follows an exceptionally weak week for the precious metal. Gold declined by more than 10% last week, its sharpest weekly fall since February 1983, and is now roughly 25% below the record high of $5,594.82 per ounce reached on January 29.Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures for April settlement fell 6.4% to $4,280.The pressure on gold has intensified as the conflict involving Iran enters its fourth week and oil prices remain near $100 per barrel. As markets shift from expecting interest rate cuts to anticipating possible rate hikes, gold — which offers no yield — has come under renewed pressure.Iran warned on Sunday that it would target energy and water infrastructure in neighboring Gulf countries if U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on threats to strike Iran’s electricity grid.At the same time, the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has kept crude prices elevated, raising fears of inflation through higher transportation and production costs. Although inflation can sometimes support demand for gold, higher interest rates generally weaken demand for the non-yielding asset.Market pricing now reflects growing expectations for tighter U.S. monetary policy. According to CME’s FedWatch tool, futures markets indicate that the Federal Reserve is increasingly expected to raise interest rates rather than cut them by the end of 2026.Other precious metals also moved lower. Spot silver fell 4.7% to $64.57 per ounce, while platinum declined 6% to $1,809.25, with both metals touching their lowest levels since mid-December in the previous session.Newmont stock priceBarrick Mining stock priceAgnico Eagle Mines stock priceAngloGold Ashanti stock price

PR Newswire (Canada)

Stock Symbol: AEM (NYSE and TSX)(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) (TSX:AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on year-end 2025 mineral reserves and mineral resources, exploration activities at mine sites and select advanced projects in 2025, and the Company's exploration plans and guidance for 2026. The Company's exploration focus remains on extending mine life at existing operations, testing near-mine opportunities and advancing key value driver projects."I would like to congratulate our exploration team for their performance in 2025 in terms of safety, productivity and cost control with an average of 120 diamond drill rigs in operation drilling 1.4 million metres of core. The exploration program continued to yield exciting results at our mines and key pipeline projects, which drove an increase in our mineral reserves and in our measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources primarily from additions at Detour Lake, Odyssey and Hope Bay," said Guy Gosselin, Agnico Eagle's Executive Vice-President, Exploration. "The success of our 2025 exploration program reinforces our view that we have built the strongest project pipeline in the Company's history, with exceptional exploration upside—arguably the best in the gold mining sector," added Mr. Gosselin.Highlights from 2025 include:Gold mineral reserves increase to record level – Year-end 2025 gold mineral reserves increased by 2.1% to 55.4 million ounces of gold (1,330 million tonnes grading 1.30 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold). The year-over-year increase in mineral reserves is due to a combination of mineral reserve replacement from operating mines and the initial declaration of mineral reserves at the Marban deposit in Malartic. At year-end 2025, measured and indicated mineral resources were up 9.6% to 47.1 million ounces (1,200 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources were up 15.5% to 41.8 million ounces (522 million tonnes grading 2.49 g/t gold)Detour Lake – The Company's exploration program continued to de-risk the Detour Lake underground project in the western plunge of the main orebody hosting the producing open pits. Conversion drilling further increased underground indicated mineral resources below the resources open pit to 3.47 million ounces of gold (52.9 million tonnes grading 2.04 g/t gold) at year-end while exploration drilling below and to the west of the open pit increased underground inferred mineral resources to 3.88 million ounces of gold (59.6 million tonnes grading 2.03 g/t gold) at year-endOdyssey – Inferred mineral resources increased by 62% (2.8 million ounces of gold) year over year at the East Gouldie deposit to 7.4 million ounces of gold (94.3 million tonnes grading 2.43 g/t gold), including the Eclipse zone. The Odyssey mine now hosts a total of 6.03 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (59.7 million tonnes grading 3.14 g/t gold), 3.4 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (57.8 million tonnes grading 1.85 g/t gold) and 12.7 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (177.7 million tonnes grading 2.21 g/t gold)Marban – As part of the "fill-the-mill" strategy at Canadian Malartic, a technical evaluation was completed at the Marban deposit during the fourth quarter of 2025 that updated the probable mineral reserves to 1.58 million ounces of gold (51.6 million tonnes grading 0.95 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. This is the first declaration of mineral reserves by the Company at Marban since the acquisition of O3 Mining Inc., which includes the Marban deposit, in March 2025Hope Bay – Exploration drilling in 2025 totalled 131,208 metres and focused mainly on mineral resource expansion of the Madrid deposit following the exploration success at the Patch 7 zone during 2024 and 2025. The Patch 7 zone now hosts 1.0 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (4.5 million tonnes grading 6.77 g/t gold) while inferred mineral resources have increased by 123% to 1.7 million ounces of gold (8.0 million tonnes grading 6.57 g/t gold)Exploration guidance – In 2026, the Company's total exploration expenditures and project expenses are expected to be between $565 million and $635 million, with a mid-point of $600 million. This includes approximately $384 million for capitalized and expensed exploration, and approximately $216 million for advanced exploration project expenses, studies, and other corporate development activities. The Company's exploration focus remains on extending mine life at existing operations, testing near-mine opportunities and advancing key value driver projects. Priorities for 2026 include continued drilling of the Detour Lake underground project, assessing the full potential of the Canadian Malartic property, supporting regional synergies in Abitibi and exploring Hope BayGOLD MINERAL RESERVES As at December 31, 2025, the Company's proven and probable mineral reserve estimate totalled 55.4 million ounces of gold (1,330 million tonnes grading 1.30 g/t gold). This represents a 2.1% (1.16 million ounce) increase in contained ounces of gold compared to the proven and probable mineral reserve estimate of 54.3 million ounces of gold (1,277 million tonnes grading 1.32 g/t gold) at year-end 2024 (see the Company's news release dated February 13, 2025 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2024 proven and probable mineral reserve estimate).The increase in mineral reserves at December 31, 2025 is the result of the replacement of 3.0 million ounces of gold mined from operating assets, including Odyssey, Meliadine, LaRonde, Goldex, Fosterville and Macassa, combined with the acquisition of the Marban project, where initial mineral reserves were declared at year-end 2025.A technical evaluation of the Marban deposit completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 resulted in new probable mineral reserves of 1.58 million ounces of gold (51.6 million tonnes grading 0.95 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. The progress in mineral reserve development at Marban is the result of efforts by the Company to leverage regional synergies following the recent transactions to consolidate the Malartic camp at Canadian Malartic and advance the "fill-the-mill" strategy.Mineral reserves were calculated using a gold price of $1,600 per ounce for most operating assets, with exceptions that include Detour Lake open pit using $1,500 per ounce; Amaruq and Pinos Altos using $2,000 per ounce; and variable assumptions for some other pipeline projects, including Marban and Wasamac using $1,650 per ounce. For detailed mineral reserves and mineral resources ("MRMR") data, including the economic parameters used to estimate the mineral reserves and mineral resources and by-product silver, copper and zinc at mines and advanced projects, see "Detailed Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Data (as at December 31, 2025)" and "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2025 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below.The ore extracted from the Company's mines in 2025 contained 3.74 million ounces of in-situ gold (65.5 million tonnes grading 1.78 g/t gold).The Company's gold mineral reserves as at December 31, 2025 are set out in the table below, and are compared with the gold mineral reserves as at December 31, 2024. Data in this table and certain other data in this news release have been rounded to the nearest thousand and discrepancies in total amounts are due to rounding.

*See the Company's news release dated February 13, 2025 for details regarding the metal price and currency assumptions for the Company's December 31, 2024 proven and probable mineral reserve estimate.**Agnico Eagle has committed to earn-in to a 50% interest in San Nicolás, which will be contributed as study and development costs are incurred and, accordingly, Agnico Eagle's share of the reported MRMR at San Nicolás is reported at a 50% level.The Company estimates that at a gold price 10% higher than the assumed gold price (leaving other assumptions unchanged), there would be an approximate 9.0% increase in the gold contained in proven and probable mineral reserves. Conversely, the Company estimates that at a gold price 10% lower than the assumed gold price (leaving other assumptions unchanged), there would be an approximate 8.7% decrease in the gold contained in proven and probable mineral reserves.GOLD MINERAL RESOURCESAs at December 31, 2025, the Company's measured and indicated mineral resource estimate totalled a record 47.1 million ounces of gold (1,200 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t gold). This represents a 9.6% (4.1 million ounce) increase in contained ounces of gold and a 7% increase in grade compared to the measured and indicated mineral resource estimate at year-end 2024 (see the Company's news release dated February 13, 2025 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2024 measured and indicated mineral resource estimate).The year-over-year increase in measured and indicated mineral resources is primarily due to the conversion of inferred mineral resources into measured and indicated mineral resources at Detour Lake underground, LaRonde Zone 5 ("LZ5") and Meliadine and to gold price-related revisions, partially offset by the upgrade of mineral resources to mineral reserves at Meliadine, Macassa, LZ5 and Fosterville.At Detour Lake, the Company continued to convert inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources resulting in the addition of 1.9 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources, which totalled 17.2 million ounces of gold (675 million tonnes grading 0.79 g/t gold) at year-end.As at December 31, 2025, the Company's inferred mineral resource estimate totalled a record 41.8 million ounces of gold (522 million tonnes grading 2.49 g/t gold). This represents a 15.5% (5.6 million ounces of gold) increase in contained ounces of gold compared to the inferred mineral resource estimate a year earlier (see the news release dated February 13, 2025 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2024 inferred mineral resource estimate).The year-over-year increase in inferred mineral resources is primarily due to exploration drilling success at East Gouldie, Hope Bay and Detour Lake underground. The grade of the inferred mineral resources at year-end 2025 remained unchanged at 2.49 g/t gold compared to the prior year.At the East Gouldie deposit, inferred mineral resources increased by 62% (2.8 million ounces of gold) year over year to 7.4 million ounces of gold (94.3 million tonnes grading 2.43 g/t gold) at year-end. In total, the Odyssey mine hosted 12.7 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (177.7 million tonnes grading 2.21 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.At Hope Bay during 2025, continued exploration success in the Patch 7 zone at the Madrid deposit added 0.9 million ounces of gold of inferred mineral resources for a total of 1.7 million ounces of gold (8.0 million tonnes grading 6.57 g/t gold) in inferred mineral resources at the Patch 7 zone at year-end 2025 in addition to 1.0 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (4.5 million tonnes grading 6.77 g/t gold). In total at Hope Bay, there were 3.2 million ounces of gold (16.9 million tonnes grading 5.98 g/t gold) in inferred mineral resources at year-end.Mineral resources were calculated using a gold price of $2,000 per ounce for most operating assets, with exceptions that include $2,400 per ounce of gold used for Amaruq; $2,400 per ounce of gold and $28.00 per ounce of silver used for Pinos Altos; and variable assumptions for some other sites and pipeline projects. See "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2025 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below for more details.The Company's gold mineral resources as at December 31, 2025 are set out in the table below.

In total, the Odyssey mine hosted 6.0 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (59.7 million tonnes grading 3.14 g/t gold), 3.4 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (57.8 million tonnes grading 1.85 g/t gold) and 12.7 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (177.7 million tonnes grading 2.21 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. These substantial mineral reserves and mineral resources continue to support the Company's vision for Canadian Malartic to potentially expand production in the future in combination with the development of satellite orebodies in the surrounding area.At the Odyssey deposit's Odyssey South zone and Odyssey internal zone, positive reconciliation observed in the underground production and improvements to the mineral reserve model contributed to mineral reserves replacement at the Odyssey mine reaching 90%. As a result, the mineral reserves of the Odyssey deposit totalled 0.3 million ounces of gold (4.8 million tonnes grading 2.12 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025, similar to the previous year.At the Canadian Malartic mine, the continued positive reconciliation observed in the open pit and improvements to the mineral reserve model contributed to the addition of 115,000 ounces of gold to mineral reserves in the open pit during 2025. As a result, the mineral reserve decreased by approximately 495,000 ounces of gold while the gold production accounted for 610,000 in-situ ounces of gold.Exploration drilling during 2025 continued to extend the limits of the East Gouldie inferred mineral resource laterally to the west and to the east. As a result, inferred mineral resources at the East Gouldie deposit (including the sub-parallel Eclipse zone) increased by 62% (2.8 million ounces of gold) year over year to 7.4 million ounces of gold (94.3 million tonnes grading 2.43 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.Drilling targeting the Eclipse zone in 2025 resulted in the declaration at year-end of initial inferred mineral resources of 0.6 million ounces of gold (6.7 million tonnes grading 2.74 g/t gold) for the Eclipse zone within close proximity to the planned underground infrastructure.At the Marban deposit, located 12 kilometres northeast of the Canadian Malartic mill, a technical evaluation completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 that included pit-design optimization and lateral extension of the deposit resulted in the initial declaration by the Company of open pit probable mineral reserves of 1.58 million ounces of gold (51.6 million tonnes grading 0.95 g/t gold), 63 thousands ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (3.9 million tonnes grading 0.51 g/t gold) and 0.4 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (7.5 million tonnes grading 1.56 g/t gold) at year-end 2025. The rapid progress in mineral reserve development at Marban since its acquisition in March 2025 is the result of efforts by the Company to leverage regional synergies following the recent transactions to consolidate the Malartic camp at Canadian Malartic and advance the "fill-the-mill" strategy.2025 Exploration HighlightsAt Odyssey in 2025, exploration drilling totalled 233,754 metres supplemented by an additional 34,672 metres of drilling dedicated to regional exploration around Canadian Malartic.Exploration drilling targeted multiple areas of the Odyssey mine, returning positive results in the eastern extension of the Odyssey South zone, the central, upper eastern, western and deeper areas of the East Gouldie deposit and in the Sheehan zone located west of the shaft.Underground drilling in the upper eastern extension of the East Gouldie deposit was highlighted by hole UGED-071-029 intersecting 3.5 g/t gold over 19.8 metres at 1,010 metres depth, hole UGED-075-057 intersecting 4.9 g/t gold over 11.9 metres at 929 metres depth and hole UGED-095-004 intersecting 6.8 g/t gold over 9.3 metres at 990 metres depth. The results from this area of the deposit contributed to a large portion of the mineral reserves and inferred mineral resources added to East Gouldie at year-end 2025.Selected recent drill intersections from Odyssey are set out in the composite longitudinal section below and in a table in the Appendix.[Odyssey – Composite Cross and Longitudinal Sections]2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $32.6 million for 190,700 metres of drilling at Canadian Malartic in 2026 with up to 20 drill rigs active at surface and underground to further assess the full potential of the Odyssey mine area and throughout the Canadian Malartic property package. The primary exploration targets remain the lateral extensions of the East Gouldie deposit and the Eclipse zone while at the Odyssey South and North zones infill drilling and the investigation of potential lateral extensions will continue. Studies are ongoing at the East Malartic deposit with the objective of converting mineral resources into mineral reserves as part of the Odyssey underground mine.An additional $11 million for 45,000 metres of drilling will be spent in the Marban area for exploration and condemnation drilling around the Marban deposit under potential mining infrastructure, as well as for the purposes of mineral resource conversion and expansion of the Marban deposit.LARONDEMRMR HighlightsThe LaRonde mine and LZ5 mine hosted a combined 2.8 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (23.8 million tonnes grading 3.72 g/t gold), 2.3 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (30.7 million tonnes grading 2.28 g/t gold) and 1.4 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (13.0 million tonnes grading 3.32 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.During 2025, positive results from conversion drilling and improvement to the mineral reserve models at LZ5 and the LaRonde mine added 110,000 ounces of gold and 296,000 ounces of gold in mineral reserves, respectively, more than replacing the production of 368,000 ounces of in-situ gold at LaRonde in 2025.Conversion drilling and metal price revisions at LZ5 and the LaRonde mine also resulted in an increase of 48% in indicated mineral resources with the addition of a combined 729,000 ounces of gold while inferred mineral resources at LaRonde increased by 12%.2025 Exploration HighlightsExploration drilling totalled 43,390 metres at LaRonde in 2025, divided between the LZ5 area, the Bousquet 2-Dumagami area and the main LaRonde orebody at depth. The drilling continues to convert mineral resources below the main LZ5 orebody and into Zone 3-4. East of LaRonde shaft No. 1, conversion drilling in the Dumagami area also returned positive results showing potential lateral extension of mineralization. Previously released results also show growth potential laterally and at depth in the LaRonde 3 West mine and East mine areas, and in the 20N Zinc South zone.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $16.3 million for 44,700 metres of drilling at LaRonde in 2026, including $3.7 million for 23,800 metres of expensed drilling and $3.8 million for 20,900 metres of capitalized drilling. Approximately $8.8 million of expensed exploration is budgeted in 2026 to extend the exploration drifts at levels 9 and 215 by a combined 1,000 metres this year to allow for the development of platforms for future exploration drilling programs.GOLDEXMRMR HighlightsGoldex, including Akasaba West, had 0.9 million contained ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (19.1 million tonnes grading 1.46 g/t gold), 1.7 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (33.7 million tonnes grading 1.59 g/t gold) and 0.9 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (18.9 million tonnes grading 1.47 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. The Company believes the mineral reserves are sufficient to sustain production until 2032 and provide an opportunity to test new exploration targets along under-explored trends and at depth. In addition, Akasaba West hosted 19,451 tonnes of copper in proven and probable reserves (3.8 million tonnes grading 0.51% copper), 205 tonnes of copper in indicated mineral resources (0.1 million tonnes grading 0.16% copper) and 8,451 tonnes of copper in inferred mineral resources (1.0 million tonnes grading 0.88% copper) at December 31, 2025.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $8.9 million for 65,800 metres of drilling at Goldex in 2026, including $6.6 million on capitalized drilling that will be mainly focused on the conversion and extension of the South and Deep 2 zones. The remaining $2.3 million is for 15,800 metres of exploration drilling, including testing multiple extensional targets laterally and at depth of the main mining areas.Additionally, a regional exploration program will drill a total of 20,000 metres on the new Alpha and Akasaba properties, which were acquired as part of the acquisition of O3 Mining. Programs include validation and conversion drilling on the Bulldog deposit, located approximately 12 kilometres east of Goldex, and validation, conversion and expansion drilling at Akasaba and Akasaba West, located 22 kilometres east of Goldex ABITIBI REGION – ONTARIODETOUR LAKEMRMR HighlightsDetour Lake hosts the Company's largest mineral reserves with 18.6 million ounces of gold (798 million tonnes grading 0.72 g/t gold) in open pit proven and probable mineral reserves at year-end 2025. A year-over-year decline in mineral reserves of 2% (0.5 million ounces of gold) is primarily due to the open pit production that extracted 771,000 ounces of in-situ gold.During 2025, the Company continued to convert inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources at Detour Lake, resulting in the addition of 1.9 million ounces of gold to the measured and indicated mineral resources which totalled 17.2 million ounces of gold (675 million tonnes grading 0.79 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. From this total, 13.7 million ounces of gold (622 million tonnes grading 0.68 g/t gold) are located inside the resource pit and 3.5 million ounces of gold (52.9 million tonnes grading 2.04 g/t gold) are at underground depths below and to the west of the resource pit.Exploration drilling further extended the underground inferred mineral resources to the west to a total of 3.88 million ounces of gold (59.5 million tonnes grading 2.03 g/t gold) at year end, representing a growth of 5% (0.2 million ounces of gold) net of the conversion of 1.6 million ounces of gold from inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources.The drilling program in 2025 continued to delineate a subset of the above mineral resources with a gold cut-off grade of 1.20 g/t gold that is amenable to underground mining within, outside and to the west of the pit plunging towards the west at depth. At year-end, this high-grade mineralized corridor contained 5.5 million ounces of gold (86.0 million tonnes grading 2.00 g/t gold) of indicated mineral resources and 5.8 million ounces of gold (89.8 million tonnes grading 2.02 g/t gold) of inferred mineral resources.2025 Exploration HighlightsAt Detour Lake in 2025, exploration drilling totalled 214,668 metres for the full year. The program continued to expand and infill the mineralization below and to the west of the mineral resource pit.In 2025, Domain 53 was tested through a high intensity drilling program from surface. It validated the continuity of the mineralization and improved the accuracy of the geological model. The investigation of Domain 54 is continuing with drilling from surface while the exploration ramp development is being advanced.The development of the Detour Lake underground exploration ramp began in July 2025 and reached a length of 569 metres and a depth of 90 metres by year-end. The ramp will allow for the acceleration of the extraction from underground of the high-grade mineralization currently located to the west and within the mineral resources open pit. The ramp will also provide improved access to drill the mineralization located below and to the west of the open pit that exploration drilling has demonstrated extends laterally several kilometres to the west of the open pit outline and to a depth exceeding 1,200 metres below surface.In the West Pit zone, recent drilling demonstrated the large thickness of the high-grade mineralized corridor at underground depths, highlighted by hole DLM25-1242 intersecting 2.1 g/t gold over 92.4 metres at 444 metres depth including 9.8 g/t gold over 10.7 metres at 431 metres depth; 2.0 g/t gold over 52.7 metres at 554 metres depth; 1.6 g/t gold over 84.7 metres at 617 metres depth; and 2.1 g/t gold over 92.4 metres at 444 metres depth including 4.9 g/t gold over 19.4 metres at 593 metres depth.Drilling in the West Extension zone approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the resource-pit outline further extended the underground inferred mineral resources to the west with highlights of hole DLM25-1205 intersecting 6.7 g/t gold over 22.0 metres at 539 metres depth and 2.0 g/t gold over 20.4 metres at 605 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.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]2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $34.2 million for 175,000 metres of drilling at Detour Lake in 2026, including $31.3 million for 165,000 metres of capitalized drilling to continue converting the inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources as well as the mineral potential in the western extension of the orebody into inferred mineral resources.For the Detour Lake underground project in 2026, an additional $7 million is budgeted for 35,800 metres of capitalized drilling and $62 million is budgeted for advancement of the exploration ramp and related infrastructure.Surface diamond drilling is expected to continue mineral resource conversion in 2026 and the drill program will be augmented by underground drilling from new underground drill stations as they become available.Approximately $2.9 million is budgeted for 10,000 metres of regional drilling in 2026 to explore satellite targets on the Company's large land position on the Detour Lake property.MACASSAMRMR HighlightsThe Macassa mine's Main Break and SMC zones and the adjacent Near Surface and AK deposits together achieved 101% replacement of their mining depletion (a combined 321,000 ounces of in-situ gold mined) in mineral reserves in 2025.The Macassa deposit continues to contain the Company's highest-grade mineral reserves, with an average grade of 8.84 g/t of gold. Proven and probable mineral reserves at the Macassa mine and the Near Surface and AK deposits totalled 2.2 million ounces of gold (8.8 million tonnes grading 7.77 g/t gold) at year-end 2025.2025 Exploration HighlightsAt Macassa in 2025, all exploration drilling was performed from underground and totalled 210,679 metres, mostly testing the SMC and Main Break zones and the AK deposit. The SMC zone, the main source of ore at Macassa, continues to grow to the west towards #3 shaft and at depth in the #2 shaft and #4 shaft areas.The Main Break mineralization is being extended to the east at approximately 2,000 metres below surface. Main Break remains the dominant gold-bearing structure in the Kirkland Lake camp. The mineral reserves and mineral resources at the AK deposit also increased due to positive drilling results.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $36.5 million for 202,000 metres of capitalized drilling at Macassa in 2026 with the objective of increasing and upgrading mineral resources. The exploration program will continue to build the mineral resource base to the east in the SMC East and Main Break areas, to the west in the Lower/West SMC area and at shallower depths in the AK deposit.The Company is also initiating a deep exploration program to investigate the potential mineralization down to 3,000 metres depth from a surface exploration drill platform, targeting the Main Break and other potential parallel structures below the former Lake Shore mine located 2,300 metres east of the #4 shaft at Macassa.UPPER BEAVERMRMR HighlightsThe Upper Beaver project hosted 2.8 million ounces of gold and 54,930 tonnes of copper in probable mineral reserves (23.2 million tonnes grading 3.71 g/t gold and 0.24% copper), 0.5 million ounces of gold and 12,118 tonnes of copper in indicated mineral resources (7.6 million tonnes grading 2.03 g/t gold and 0.16% copper) and 0.4 million ounces of gold and 10,649 tonnes of copper in inferred mineral resources (3.0 million tonnes grading 4.12 g/t gold and 0.36% copper) at December 31, 2025.2025 Exploration HighlightsThe Company continued to accelerate project development at Upper Beaver through a phased approach to project de-risking that includes developing an exploration shaft to a depth of 760 metres and an exploration ramp to a depth of 160 metres that will be used to establish underground drilling platforms.Development activities during 2025 continued to advance ahead of schedule. The exploration ramp progressed by 507 metres, reaching a depth of 70 metres at year-end, and shaft sinking began with the first blast completed in November to reach a depth of 155 metres by year-end 2025.A high-intensity drilling program from surface began at Upper Beaver in 2025 and is ongoing. The program is similar in design to the high-intensity drilling program recently completed at Detour Lake that has contributed to improved planning for the potential development of underground mineral resources.The high-intensity drilling program at Upper Beaver is targeting the lower level of the deposit, which is dominated by intrusion-suite host rocks, with the objective of validating the resource model and grade variability at greater depths in the most representative geological zones of the deposit.Depending on the results, this high-intensity drilling program could replace a planned bulk sample at the 760-metre level and has the potential to bring forward initial production to early 2030.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceIn 2026, the Company expects to spend approximately $56.1 million at Upper Beaver, including approximately $52 million on the exploration ramp, exploration shaft and the first bulk sample, and approximately $4.1 million for 10,500 metres of high-intensity drilling. The bulk sample will be taken from the ramp at a depth of 160 metres from the upper level of the deposit, which is dominated by basaltic host lithologies, and will provide material for testing selective mining assumptions in this area of the deposit.Exploration results from recent years at Upper Beaver show the potential to increase the mineral resources and to convert inferred mineral resources at depth using underground access via the planned exploration shaft and ramp infrastructure.Regional exploration will continue to develop and advance the pipeline of targets in the Kirkland Lake area.HAMMOND REEFHammond Reef is a large Archean-age, shear-hosted disseminated gold deposit located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, with potential for development into an open pit operation with conventional milling. The 100%-owned project has received environmental approvals from both federal and provincial governments. Additional federal and provincial permits would be required to begin construction activities.MRMR HighlightsOpen pit probable mineral reserves at Hammond Reef total 3.3 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold), measured mineral resources are 819,000 ounces of gold (47.1 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold) and indicated mineral resources are 1.5 million ounces of gold (86.3 million tonnes grading 0.53 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.2025 Activity HighlightsStudies during 2025 continued to optimize the project and further advance the permits required for construction and operation. During the year, the Melema Lake property located approximately 9 kilometres east of the main Hammond Reef property was acquired by exercising the Company's option. Exploration activities in 2025 included 6,200 metres of drilling on both the Hammond Reef and Melema Lake properties, complemented by prospecting, mapping and geophysical surveying.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceExploration work will continue to leverage the extensive database available on the Hammond Reef property to identify potential satellite mineralization in the vicinity of the main deposit. During 2026, $11.2 million is budgeted for project studies at Hammond Reef, to be potentially supplemented by exploration activities.TIMMINS EASTThe 100%-owned Timmins East land package is a series of properties in northeastern Ontario totalling 53,388 hectares and covering a 100 km strike length. The land package has a complex exploration history dating back to at least the 1930s and hosts past-producing gold mines including Aquarius, Holt, Holloway, Hislop, and Taylor.The Company maintains an active regional exploration office in Timmins that supports ongoing fieldwork, data integration and geological assessment across its Timmins East properties.MRMR HighlightsMineral resources for the Timmins East project are reported for the suspended Holt mine and mill complex and the Aquarius property. At underground depths, the Holt complex hosted 1.7 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (11.7 million tonnes grading 4.52 g/t gold) and 1.3 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (9.1 million tonnes grading 4.48 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. At open-pit depths, Aquarius hosted 0.9 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (12.3 million tonnes grading 2.15 g/t gold) and 14,000 ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (0.1 million tonnes grading 3.56 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceHistorical mining and exploration data across the property package will continue to be reviewed in 2026, including previously identified high-priority exploration targets at past-producing assets. The review will provide a ranking of exploration targets for potential limited diamond drilling with the objective of unlocking further value from this extensive land position in light of the higher gold price environment.NUNAVUTMELIADINEMRMR HighlightsMeliadine hosted 3.6 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (22.1 million tonnes grading 5.10 g/t gold), 2.2 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (20.6 million tonnes grading 3.39 g/t gold) and 2.5 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (14.7 million tonnes grading 5.23 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.Conversion drilling at Meliadine in 2025 added 496,000 ounces of gold to mineral reserves, primarily at the Tiriganiaq, Wesmeg, Wesmeg North and Pump deposits, resulting in an 8% increase in total mineral reserves year over year. This mineral reserve addition and price-related revisions offset the mining of 389,000 ounces of in-situ gold in 2025. Recent exploration results demonstrate that the deposits remain open at depth and laterally, supporting the potential for future growth in mineral resources and mineral reserves at Meliadine.2025 Exploration HighlightsExploration drilling totalled 105,144 metres at Meliadine in 2025, with work focused on exploration and infill drilling of inferred mineral resources at depth in the Wesmeg, Wesmeg North, Pump and Tiriganiaq deposits. Drilling also produced positive results beyond existing mineral resources in the eastern plunge and at depth of the main deposits.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $21.3 million for 98,100 metres of capitalized drilling at Meliadine in 2026. The drilling will be focused on expanding and converting near-mine mineralization and testing multiple mineralized plunges at depth that remain open in the main deposits.MEADOWBANKMRMR HighlightsThe Amaruq deposit at Meadowbank hosted 1.5 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (17.7 million tonnes grading 2.55 g/t gold), 1.3 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (11.4 million tonnes grading 3.65 g/t gold) and 0.8 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (5.9 million tonnes grading 4.10 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.The Company continued to extend the life-of-mine at Amaruq in 2025 with the addition of 389,000 ounces of gold in mineral reserves partly replacing the production depletion of 544,000 ounces of in-situ gold extracted in 2025.2025 Exploration HighlightsExploration drilling totalled 25,895 metres at Amaruq in 2025. The main objective was to de-risk the deep extensions of the Whale Tail deposit and to add mineral resources in support of a potential enhanced life-of-mine scenario. A conversion drilling program was also completed at the IVR deposit to add mineral resources to the potential enhanced life-of-mine scenario.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $11.3 million for 26,500 metres of expensed exploration drilling and $1.3 million for 6,400 metres of capitalized drilling at Amaruq in 2026, focused on expanding mineral resources in the Kangislulik, Whale Tail and IVR areas and converting mineral resources in the Kangislulik and IVR areas.HOPE BAYMRMR HighlightsThe total mineral reserves and mineral resources at Hope Bay now stand at 3.4 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (16.2 million tonnes grading 6.53 g/t gold), 2.2 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (14.9 million tonnes grading 4.61 g/t gold) and 3.2 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (16.9 million tonnes grading 5.98 g/t gold), as at December 31, 2025. At Hope Bay, the total inferred mineral resources ounces increased year over year by 40% and the gold grade increased by 10%, largely due to exploration success at the Patch 7 zone at the Madrid deposit.The Patch 7 zone now hosts 1.0 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (4.5 million tonnes grading 6.77 g/t gold) while inferred mineral resources have increased by 123% to 1.7 million ounces of gold (8.0 million tonnes grading 6.57 g/t gold).2025 Exploration HighlightsExploration drilling in 2025 at the Madrid deposit and in the regional program at Hope Bay totalled a combined 131,208 metres and focused mainly on mineral resource expansion of the Madrid deposit following the exploration success in the Patch 7 zone during 2024 and early 2025.The program in 2025 returned multiple positive drill intercepts in the Patch 7 zone, resulting in mineral resource growth and the identification of several mineralized areas remaining open laterally and at depth beyond current mineral resources that will be investigated during follow-up exploration drilling.Mineralization remains open to the north of the Patch 7 zone towards the Suluk zone, as highlighted by hole HBM25-401 returning 4.3 g/t gold over 7.1 metres at 609 metres depth in the Patch 7 zone and 7.7 g/t gold over 4.3 metres at 719 metres depth in the Suluk zone, and by hole HBM25-387A returning 46.1 g/t gold over 2.3 metres at 653 metres depth in the Suluk zone.South of the Patch 7 zone beyond a sub-vertical diabase dike, mineralization remains open in an underexplored area that extends southwards by approximately one kilometre towards the Patch 14 zone. Highlight hole HBM25-395 in this area returned 5.2 g/t gold over 12.3 metres at 363 metres depth approximately 200 metres south of the diabase dike.During the fourth quarter of 2025, excavation of the Naartok East exploration ramp at Madrid advanced by 656 metres and reached a depth of 100 metres at year-end. The 2.1-kilometre exploration ramp is expected to be developed to a depth of 100 metres to facilitate infill and expansion drilling along the Madrid zones. At Patch 7, the excavation of the portal of the dedicated exploration ramp also commenced.Selected recent drill intersections from the Madrid deposit are set out in the composite longitudinal section below and in a table in the Appendix.[Madrid Deposit at Hope Bay – Composite Longitudinal Section]2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe 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 main objectives in 2026 are to convert inferred mineral resources at Patch 7 into indicated mineral resources and to further test the entire Madrid deposit to expand and upgrade mineral resources. Results will be integrated into the technical evaluation of Hope Bay that is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and to contribute to a potential construction decision for Hope Bay in May 2026.An additional $7.8 million of capitalized expenses in 2026 will be used to continue the exploration ramp development at the Madrid deposit and for technical evaluation.AUSTRALIAFOSTERVILLEMRMR HighlightsFosterville hosted 1.7 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (10.4 million tonnes grading 4.99 g/t gold), 1.4 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources (11.4 million tonnes grading 3.77 g/t gold) and 1.8 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (13.3 million tonnes grading 4.19 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.Fosterville replaced 101% of mining depletion in 2025 with new mineral reserves. The replacement was achieved mainly through infill drilling in the Robbins Hill and South Phoenix zones. In total 170,000 ounces of gold were added to mineral reserves, offsetting the 168,000 ounces of in-situ gold that were depleted from mineral reserves by 2025 production.The Company added 171,000 ounces of gold in underground indicated mineral resources at Fosterville, mainly due to exploration drilling and metal price revisions at the Robbins Hill and Phoenix zones and inferred mineral resources increased by 5% at year-end 2025.The open-pit measured and indicated mineral resources and open-pit inferred mineral resources at Fosterville were removed from the "Detailed Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Data (as at December 31, 2025)" below, as there are no plans to mine the deposit using open pit methods.2025 Exploration HighlightsAt Fosterville in 2025, exploration drilling totalled 74,369 metres split between programs targeting the Cygnet, Swan, Cardinal and Harrier structures. At Robbins Hill, drilling tested the Curie, Ceruti and Wu zones.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $15.1 million for 49,300 metres of capitalized drilling at Fosterville in 2026, focused on the extensions of mineral reserves and mineral resources at Lower Phoenix and Robbins Hill. An additional $18.7 million is budgeted for 63,000 metres of underground and surface expensed exploration to test new geological targets, including parallel faults and folds to the main Fosterville host structure, exploring for similar geological context to the Swan Zone structure.The exploration program will include the assessment of the Fosterville tenement acquired from S2 Resources Ltd. on December 22, 2025. This tenement surrounds the Fosterville mine and provides prime exploration ground in the search for additional mineralized structures or the extensions of known gold-bearing structures.NORTHERN TERRITORYAgnico Eagle holds interests across 175,064 hectares in the Northern Territory of Australia, including 62,685 hectares under 100% ownership and a further 112,379 hectares through joint ventures, where the Company's ownership ranges from 85% to 10%. The wholly-owned tenements include the Cosmo underground mine (closed in 2020), the Union Reefs processing facility (operations suspended in 2020) and regional exploration assets within the historic Pine Creek gold district.MRMR HighlightsAt open-pit depths, the Northern Territory assets host measured and indicated mineral resources of 0.8 million ounces of gold (16.5 million tonnes grading 1.45 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources of 0.7 million ounces of gold (13.3 million tonnes grading 1.75 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.At underground depth, the Northern Territory assets host indicated mineral resources of 0.7 million ounces of gold (4.5 million tonnes grading 4.75 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources of 0.8 million ounces of gold (5.8 million tonnes grading 4.11 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025.2025 Activity HighlightsAgnico Eagle has continued to advance the proposed Union Reefs North development project at the Union Reefs site, with ongoing studies evaluating the project economics and potential redevelopment scenarios.For exploration during 2025, the Company spent $4.1 million to complete 11,156 metres of expensed drilling at the Maud Creek, Pine Creek and Burnside projects.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceDuring 2026, the Company expects to spend $8.0 million on exploration at the Northern Territory assets including 48,600 metres of expensed drilling to follow up on results from 2025 and investigate other targets with potential for mineral resource growth.The current scenario analysis is focused on developing a decade-long sustainable ore supply from multiple sources to the Union Reefs processing facility with a potential upgrade of the processing facility to treat refractory ores.FINLANDKITTILAMRMR HighlightsKittila hosted 3.3 million ounces of gold in proven and probable mineral reserves (24.7 million tonnes grading 4.17 g/t gold), 2.0 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated mineral resources (22.5 million tonnes grading 2.83 g/t gold) and 1.0 million ounces of gold in inferred mineral resources (6.6 million tonnes grading 4.62 g/t) at December 31, 2025.Conversion drilling in the Suuri, Roura Deep and Rimpi areas at Kittila resulted in the addition of 181,000 ounces of gold in mineral reserves before depletion to replace 68% of mining depletion by year-end 2025.Approximately 149,000 ounces of gold, representing an 8% year-over-year increase in gold ounces, were added to the indicated mineral resources mainly due to a revision of cut-off grades.2025 Exploration HighlightsExploration and conversion drilling at Kittila totalled 90,025 metres in 2025 and mainly targeted the Main and Sisar zones in the northern and southern portions of the deposit at approximately 1.0 to 1.4 kilometres depth. The Roura area continued to grow at depth, and both the Suuri and Rimpi zones returned positive drill results between approximately 400 and 600 metres below surface, demonstrating the potential for lateral expansion at shallow depths of the Kittila deposit.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $21.0 million for 101,900 metres of drilling at Kittila in 2026, focused on the Main zone in the Roura, Suuri and Rimpi areas as well as the Sisar zone. The drilling includes 77,700 metres of capitalized drilling.MEXICOPINOS ALTOS2025 Exploration HighlightsAt Pinos Altos in 2025, exploration drilling totalled 16,365 metres, focused on the Pinos Altos Deep project beneath the current underground mine as well as targeting areas beneath the known mineralization at Cubiro, Oberon de Weber, Cerro Colorado and Sinter.2026 Exploration Plan and GuidanceThe Company expects to spend approximately $5.3 million for 25,500 metres of capitalized and expensed exploration drilling at Pinos Altos in 2026.About Agnico EagleCanadian-based and led, Agnico Eagle is Canada's largest mining company and the second largest gold producer in the world, operating mines in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico.

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.Scientific and Technical InformationThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release relating to exploration activities has been approved by Guy Gosselin, Eng. and P.Geo., Executive Vice-President, Exploration and Olivier Grondin, P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration; and relating to mineral reserves and mineral resources has been approved by Dyane Duquette, P.Geo., Vice-President, Mineral Resources Management, each of whom is a "Qualified Person" for the purposes of NI 43-101.Detailed Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources DataVariances in down-adding and cross-adding are due to roundingMineral Reserves as at December 31, 2025Operation / ProjectProvenProbableProven & ProbableGoldMining

Tonnage amounts and contained metal amounts set out in this table have been rounded to the nearest thousand, so may not aggregate to equal column or row 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 include internal dilution. Mineable shape optimization parameters may differ for mineral reserves and mineral resources.The mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages reported for silver, copper and zinc are a subset of the mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages for gold. The Company's economic parameters set the maximum price allowed to be no more than the lesser of the three-year moving average and current spot price, which is a common industry standard. Given the current commodity price environment, Agnico Eagle continues to use more conservative gold and silver prices.NI 43-101 requires mining companies to disclose mineral reserves and mineral resources using the subcategories of "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at prefeasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of modifying factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The mineral reserves presented in this news release are separate from and not a portion of the mineral resources.Modifying factors are considerations used to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the modifying factors. A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource. The confidence in the modifying factors applied to a probable mineral reserve is lower than that applied to a proven mineral reserve.A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.A measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of modifying factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity.Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.A feasibility study is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable modifying factors, together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a pre-feasibility study.Additional InformationAdditional information about each of the Company's material mineral projects as at December?31, 2025, including information regarding data verification, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources and the risks that could materially affect the development of the mineral reserves and mineral resources required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 and paragraphs 3.4(a), (c) and (d) of NI 43-101 can be found in the Company's AIF and 2025 MD&A filed on SEDAR+ and with the SEC on EDGAR and in the following technical reports filed on SEDAR+ in respect of the Company's material mineral properties: Detour Lake Operation, Ontario, Canada, NI 43-101 Technical Report (September 20, 2024); NI 43-101 Technical Report of the LaRonde complex in Quebec, Canada (March 24, 2023); NI 43-101 Technical Report Canadian Malartic Mine, Quebec, Canada (March 25, 2021); Technical Report on the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at Meadowbank Gold complex including the Amaruq Satellite Mine Development, Nunavut, Canada as at December 31, 2017 (February 14, 2018); and the Updated Technical Report on the Meliadine Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada (February 11, 2015).APPENDIX – EXPLORATION DETAILSEclipse zone and East Gouldie, East Malartic and Odyssey deposits at OdysseyDrill holeDeposit / ZoneFrom

PR Newswire (US)

Stock Symbol:   AEM (NYSE and TSX)(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, as well as future operating guidance."In 2025, we delivered on our commitments, generating record free cash flow and shareholder returns. We've also updated our three-year outlook which reflects stable production at peer-leading costs," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Agnico Eagle has never been better positioned, with the strongest balance sheet in our history, an exploration program that is creating tremendous value and a pipeline of organic projects that will drive strong production growth over the next decade. What excites me most is the depth and quality of our growth pipeline, which has the potential to increase annual gold production by 20% to 30% over the next decade, exceeding four million ounces by the early 2030s. These expansion and growth projects offer exceptional returns at current gold prices, and we are assessing opportunities to advance them more quickly. As we build our project pipeline and sustain our exploration momentum, we are well positioned to drive our next phase of growth."Fourth quarter and full year 2025 highlights and the Company's short to medium-term outlook are set out below.1) Record 2025 Financial Results Driven by Strong Operations, Resulting in a Strengthened Balance Sheet and Record Shareholder ReturnsAnnual production guidance achieved with solid cost performance despite higher royalties from higher gold prices – Payable gold production1 in 2025 was 3,447,367 ounces, above the midpoint of the 2025 guidance range, at production costs per ounce of $965. Total cash costs per ounce2 of $979 and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce2 of $1,339 were slightly above the top end of 2025 guidance, primarily due to higher royalty costs (approximately $42 per ounce) driven by an average realized gold price of $3,453 per ounce, well above the Company's assumption of $2,500. Under the Company's revised composition of total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce, these measures were $953 and $1,313, respectively, in 20252Record annual free cash flow driven by consistent and reliable operational performance – Cash provided by operating activities for the full year 2025 was a record of $6,817 million or $13.58 per share and free cash flow3 was a record of $4,399 million or $8.76 per share. The Company's continued focus on operational efficiencies resulted in several annual throughput and mining rate records during the yearSolid quarterly performance, with record quarterly adjusted net income and free cash flow generation – Payable gold production in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 840,608 ounces at production costs per ounce of $1,113, total cash costs per ounce of $1,089 and AISC per ounce of $1,517. The higher realized gold price of $4,163 per ounce in the fourth quarter resulted in strong margins and cash flows, while increasing royalty costs. The Company reported quarterly net income of $1,523 million or $3.04 per share and record adjusted net income3 of $1,351 million or $2.70 per share. The Company generated cash provided by operating activities of $2,112 million or $4.22 per share and record free cash flow of $1,310 million or $2.62 per shareFinancial position further strengthened through increased cash balances, providing a solid foundation for the next phase of growth – The Company increased its net cash3 position to $2,670 million as at December 31, 2025 as a result of the increase in its cash balance by $511 million to $2,866 million during the quarter and total debt outstanding as at December 31, 2025 of $196 millionRecord shareholder returns of $1.4 billion in 2025 through dividend and share repurchase programsUnder its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), the Company repurchased 1,784,038 common shares at an average share price of $168.11 for aggregate purchases of $300 million during the quarter, and 4,114,150 common shares at an average share price of $145.76 for aggregate purchases of $600 million in 2025Quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share paid in the quarter, with total dividend payments of $803 million paid in 2025Quarterly dividend increased by 12.5% and expected renewal of NCIB – A quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share has been declared, reflecting the strength of the business and higher gold price environment. Additionally, at current gold prices, the Company expects to remain active on its share repurchase program. 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 under the NCIB to $2 billion of common shares. Additional details will be provided at the time of the renewal________________________1 Payable production of a mineral means the quantity of a mineral produced during a period contained in products that have been or will be sold by the Company whether such products are shipped during the period or held as inventory at the end of the period.2 Total cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining costs per ounce (or AISC per ounce) are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS® Accounting Standards. For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company has revised the composition of these measures to adjust for costs related to certain payments to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. at Meadowbank, for consistency and comparability at the Nunavut operations. These revisions only affect such measures insofar as results from Meadowbank are included (that is, for Meadowbank, the Nunavut region and the consolidated Company). In this news release, unless otherwise specified, these non-GAAP measures are reported on (a) a per ounce of gold production basis, (b) a by-product basis, and (c) using the composition for the applicable period (that is, (i) periods ending on or before December 31, 2025, or (ii) periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026). For reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to production costs on both a by-product and a co-product basis, a description of their composition and usefulness and a discussion of revisions that have been made by the Company to the composition of this measure for periods on or after January 1, 2026, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.3 Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital, free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital, adjusted net income, net cash (debt) (also referred to as "net debt") and, where applicable, their related per share measures are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards. For a description of the composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.2) Strong Momentum Continuing Into 2026, Supported by a Stable Three-Year Production Outlook at Peer-Leading Costs, Record Mineral Reserves and a Substantial Increase in Mineral ResourcesThree-year production guidance reflects stable production – Payable gold production is forecast to remain stable at approximately 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces annually from 2026 to 2028. Both 2026 and 2027 gold production guidance is consistent with the prior three-year guidance issued on February 13, 2025 ("Previous Guidance"). The outlook for 2028 has improved, supported by the extension of production at Meadowbank through 2030 and potentially beyond, as well as contributions from East Gouldie at Canadian Malartic, Fosterville and Kittila, which are expected to offset a temporary lower gold grade sequence anticipated at Detour LakePeer-leading total cash costs and AISC – Total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce are forecast to be in the range of $1,020 to $1,120 and $1,400 to $1,550, respectively, in 2026. The midpoints of these ranges represent an approximate 12% increase (or $117 per ounce and $157 per ounce, respectively) compared to 2025, with approximately 60% of the increase reflecting higher royalty costs and a strong Canadian dollar, and 40% of the increase reflecting cost inflation of approximately 4% and the mining sequenceInvestment in pipeline projects to support future production growth – Capital expenditures4 in 2025 (excluding capitalized exploration) were $2.1 billion and are expected to be between $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion in 2026. Capitalized exploration in 2025 was $318 million and is forecast to be between $290 million and $330 million in 2026. The anticipated increase reflects additional investment to further advance the construction and ramp-up of the project pipeline, including at Detour Lake underground and Upper Beaver. Total expected development capital expenditures for 2026 include an initial $102 million related to Hope Bay, which could be supplemented by between $300 million and $350 million for the reminder of the year in the event the potential construction announcement expected, in the second quarter of 2026, is madeRecord gold mineral reserves – Year-end 2025 gold mineral reserves increased by 2.1% to a record of 55.4 million ounces of gold (1,330 million tonnes grading 1.30 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold). The year-over-year increase in mineral reserves is attributable to strong mineral reserve replacement from operating mines and the initial declaration of mineral reserves at Marban following the acquisition of O3 Mining. For further details, see the Company's exploration news release dated February 12, 2026Record mineral resources support growth pipeline and potential mine life extensions – At year-end 2025, measured and indicated mineral resources increased by 9.6% to a record of 47.1 million ounces (1,200 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources increased by 15.5% to a record of 41.8 million ounces (522 million tonnes grading 2.49 g/t gold), primarily due to exploration drilling success at East Gouldie, Hope Bay, Detour Lake and Meliadine. For further details, see the Company's exploration news release dated February 12, 2026______________________________4 Capital expenditures, sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards. For a discussion of the composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to additions to property, plant and mine development as set out in the consolidated statements of cash flows, see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.3) Well Positioned for the Next Phase of Growth, Supported by a High-Quality Project Pipeline with Potential to Increase Annual Gold Production by 20-30% Over the Next DecadeAdvancing expansion and growth projects with the potential to deliver between 1.3 to 1.5 Moz of gold production, with initial step-up expected in 2030, which could result in a net addition of 0.7 to 1.0 Moz over the next decade – The Company is advancing a disciplined, phased development strategy that supports a path to increase annual gold production by 20-30% over the next decade, with the potential to exceed 4.0 million ounces in the early 2030s, while maintaining a strong focus on safety, exploration success, operational excellence and generating attractive returns for shareholders. The Company believes this strategy carries low execution and jurisdictional risk, as it is anchored in the expansions of world-class assets at Canadian Malartic and Detour Lake, as well as new mines in regions where the Company operates and has technical expertise, established community relationships, existing infrastructure and established supply chains, supporting compelling, risk-adjusted returnsCanadian Malartic, expansion to one million ounces of annual gold production – Drilling continued to expand the mineral reserve and mineral resource base, supporting the potential for a meaningful extension of the mine life at Odyssey and providing a strong foundation for a larger production profile. The transition to underground mining continues to advance ahead of schedule, with production from East Gouldie now expected to begin from the ramp in the first quarter of 2026 and from the shaft in the second quarter of 2027. The Company is evaluating the potential for a second shaft and additional satellite deposits, which may position Canadian Malartic to potentially ramp-up to approximately one million ounces of annual gold production beginning in 20335Detour Lake, expansion to one million ounces of annual gold production – Drilling continued to expand underground mineral resources and reinforce confidence in the geological model. With the exploration ramp advancing on schedule, the Company has allocated additional capital to accelerate construction of service and operational facilities, procure mobile equipment to support a faster development pace and advance work on the conveyor-ramp portal and associated ramp development5Upper Beaver, unlocking potential in the Kirkland Lake camp – Development activities continued to advance ahead of schedule. The headframe and hoist room were commissioned during the year, and shaft sinking began with the first blast completed in early November, reaching a depth of 155 metres by year-end 2025. Based on strong execution to date, the Company has allocated additional capital to accelerate site-readiness for construction and extend the exploration ramp to a depth of 400 metresHope Bay, path to develop next large gold mine in Nunavut – Drilling continued to expand and upgrade mineral resources at Patch?7, confirming its potential to serve as a third mining front alongside Doris and Madrid in support of the planned redevelopment of Hope Bay. A technical evaluation is underway that contemplates an operation similar in scale to the Company's Meliadine mine in Nunavut, with anticipated annual gold production of 400,000 to 425,000 ounces5. The Company expects to provide a project update, including a potential construction decision, in the second quarter of 2026San Nicolás, potential for base metal production in Mexico – Minas de San Nicolás continued to advance the feasibility study 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 areaSeveral initiatives underway to enhance near-term gold production profile – The Company is advancing plans to increase mining and processing rates at Macassa to 2,150 tonnes per day ("tpd") and at Fosterville to 3,300 tpd over the next three years, with both initiatives factored into the 2026 guidance. Additionally, the Company is advancing other optimization initiatives, including the potential to further extend operations at Meadowbank beyond 2030 through an underground-only mine plan and the ongoing deployment of automation and technology upgrades across the Company's operations to support productivity gainsAssessing additional portfolio optionality in high gold price environment – The Company has a number of higher potential portfolio projects (Hammond Reef, Timmins East and Northern Territory) that are being re-evaluated in light of the high gold price environment. These projects are located in safe jurisdictions, where the Company currently operates and, in some cases, in close proximity to existing mining infrastructure and have the potential to provide additional production growth__________________________5 The forecast parameters were based on an internal evaluation which is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resource.

$          4.13Net IncomeFourth Quarter of 2025Net income increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to record operating margins resulting from higher realized gold prices and an impairment reversal (net of tax) of $156 million related to Macassa, partially offset by higher income and mining taxesNet income of $1,523 million ($3.04 per share) includes the following items (net of tax): Macassa impairment reversal of $156 million ($0.31 per share), net gains on derivative financial instruments of $40 million ($0.08 per share), net asset disposal losses of $17 million ($0.03 per share), reclamation adjustments of $14 million ($0.03 per share) and foreign exchange gains of $7 million ($0.01 per share). Excluding these items results in adjusted net income of $1,351 million or $2.70 per shareFull Year 2025 – Net income increased when compared to the prior year primarily due to record operating margins resulting from higher realized gold prices, gains on derivative financial instruments (compared to losses in the prior year) and an impairment reversal at Macassa, partially offset by higher income and mining taxes, higher royalty costs from higher gold prices and higher amortization of property, plant and mine development___________________________________6 Realized gold price is calculated as gold revenues from mining operations divided by the number of ounces sold.7 "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards. For a description of the composition and usefulness of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to net income see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below.8 Includes capitalized exploration.Macassa Impairment ReversalIn 2023, an impairment loss relating to the Macassa mine was incurred in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The impairment loss (net of tax) was $594 million, with $421 million allocated to goodwill and $173 million allocated to non-current assets of the Macassa mine.In 2025, the Company identified indicators of impairment reversal driven by the effect of a significant and sustained increase in long-term gold price assumptions. Based on the impairment reversal assessment, an impairment reversal (net of tax) of $156 million was recognized with a corresponding increase in the value of the mineral properties at Macassa. This impairment reversal represents the full reversal of prior impairment allocated to property, plant and mine development, as adjusted for amortization.Adjusted EBITDAFourth Quarter of 2025 – Adjusted EBITDA increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher revenues from mining operations (higher realized gold prices and higher gold sales), partially offset by higher production costs (higher royalty costs)Full Year 2025 – Adjusted EBITDA increased when compared to the prior year primarily due to higher revenues from mining operations (higher realized gold prices), partially offset by lower gold sales, higher production costs (higher royalty costs) and higher general and administrative expensesCash Provided by Operating ActivitiesFourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 – Cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital balances increased when compared to the prior-year periods primarily due to the reasons described above related to the increases in adjusted EBITDA. Cash provided by operating activities benefited from favourable changes in non-cash working capital balances, primarily due to an increase in the accrued taxes payable as a result of higher operating marginsFree Cash FlowFourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 – Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital balances were a record and increased when compared to the prior-year periods due to the reasons described above related to cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by higher additions to property, plant and mine developmentCapital ExpendituresThe table below sets out a summary of capital expenditures, in each case broken down between sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures, and capitalized exploration by mine in the fourth quarter and the full year 2025.Summary of Capital Expenditures

$              318,435* Excludes capitalized explorationRecord Free Cash Flow Drives Further Balance Sheet StrengthCash and cash equivalents increased by $511 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to cash provided by operating activities resulting from strong operating margins (higher realized gold prices) and favourable changes in non-cash components of working capital (increase in accrued taxes payable as a result of higher operating margins). The increase was partially offset by $801 million of capital expenditures and $501 million returned to shareholders during the quarter through dividends and share repurchases under the NCIB.For the full year 2025, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,940 million and a total of $950 million of debt was repaid, resulting in a transition from the net debt position of $217 million at the beginning of the year to the net cash position of $2,670 million as at December 31, 2025.As at December 31, 2025, the Company's total long-term debt was $196 million. No amounts were outstanding under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility as at December 31, 2025 and available liquidity under the facility remained at approximately $2 billion, not including the uncommitted $1 billion accordion feature.In 2025, the Company received an upgrade to its credit rating from Moody's Ratings to A3 with a Stable Outlook. This strong investment grade credit rating reflects the Company's strong portfolio of mining assets, continued strengthening of its credit profile and conservative financial policies. The Company strives to maintain a strong financial position and an investment grade balance sheet.The following table sets out the calculation of net cash (debt).Net Cash Summary

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).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. Current hedging positions are not factored into 2026 or future guidance.Shareholder ReturnsDividend Record and Payment Dates for the First Quarter of 2026The Company's Board of Directors has approved an increase in the quarterly dividend of 12.5% and has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per common share (previously $0.40 per share), payable on March 16, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 2, 2026. Agnico Eagle has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.Expected Dividend Record and Payment Dates for the 2026 Fiscal YearRecord DatePayment DateMarch 2, 2026*March 16, 2026*June 1, 2026June 15, 2026September 1, 2026September 15, 2026December 1, 2026December 15, 2026* DeclaredDividend Reinvestment PlanFor information on the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, see: Dividend Reinvestment Plan.International Dividend Currency ExchangeFor information on the Company's international dividend currency exchange program, please contact Computershare Trust Company of Canada by phone at 1.800.564.6253 or online at www.investorcentre.com or www.computershare.com/investor.Normal Course Issuer BidIn the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 1,784,038 common shares under the NCIB at an average share price of $168.11 for aggregate purchases of $300 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 4,114,150 common shares under the NCIB at an average share price of $145.76 for aggregate purchases of $600 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 to $2 billion of common shares. Additional details will be provided at the time of the renewal.Fourth Quarter 2025 Sustainability HighlightsFocus on Strong Health and Safety Standards – The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of health and safety across its operations. In 2025, the Company delivered solid global safety performance, with a Global Combined Injury Frequency Rate ("GCIFR") of 2.6 per million hours worked, including employees and contractors. Overshadowing good safety performance during the year, there was a tragic fatal incident involving a contractor at Fosterville in early December 2025. Health and safety remains a fundamental priority for the Company, which continues to focus on operating a safe and healthy workplace with the objective being injury and fatality-freeTowards Sustainable Mining ("TSM") Leadership Awards – Seven of the Company's operations received a TSM Leadership Award from the Mining Association of Canada, reflecting each operation's excellence across all TSM categories of safety, environmental stewardship and community engagement. This recognition highlights the dedication of our teams to responsible mining practices and continuous improvement across our operationsContinued Improvement in Employee Engagement – The Company continued to see year-over-year increases in employee satisfaction as measured in the annual Great Place to Work ® survey. The survey is driven by employee feedback, reinforcing the Company's shared commitment to creating a positive and collaborative workplace culture, where employee satisfaction and engagement help support strong retention rates across the organizationCommitment to Trusted Community Partnerships – The Company completed an independent perception survey across its Canadian and Australian operations, establishing a measurable baseline for community trust and acceptance. The survey provides insight into how communities view the Company's environmental practices, communications, responsiveness and overall social impact. These findings will be used to develop a practical roadmap to strengthen relationships and track community sentiment over timeRecord Gold Mineral Reserves and Gold Mineral Resources at Year-end 2025The table below sets out the gold mineral reserves and gold mineral resources as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The increase in mineral reserves at December 31, 2025 is the result of the replacement of 3.0 million ounces of gold mined from operating assets, including Odyssey, Meliadine, LaRonde, Goldex, Fosterville and Macassa, combined with the acquisition of the Marban project, where initial mineral reserves were declared at year-end 2025.Mineral reserves were calculated using a gold price of $1,600 per ounce for most operating assets, with exceptions that include Detour Lake open pit using $1,500 per ounce; Amaruq and Pinos Altos using $2,000 per ounce; and variable assumptions for some other pipeline projects, including Marban and Wasamac using $1,650 per ounce. See "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2025 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below for more details.Gold Mineral ResourcesMeasured and indicated gold mineral resources increased by 9.6% to a record of 43.0 million ounces as at December 31, 2025. The year-over-year increase in measured and indicated mineral resources is primarily due to the conversion of inferred mineral resources into measured and indicated mineral resources at Detour Lake underground, LaRonde Zone 5 ("LZ5") and Meliadine, partially offset by the upgrade of mineral resources to mineral reserves at Meliadine, Macassa, LZ5 and Fosterville.Inferred gold mineral resources increased by 15.5% to a record of 36.2 million ounces as at December 31, 2025. The year-over-year increase in inferred mineral resources is primarily due to exploration drilling success at Odyssey, Hope Bay and Detour Lake underground. The grade of the inferred mineral resources at year-end 2025 remained unchanged at 2.49 g/t gold compared to the prior year.Mineral resources were calculated using a gold price of $2,000 per ounce for most operating assets, with exceptions that include $2,400 per ounce of gold used for Amaruq; $2,400 per ounce of gold and $28.00 per ounce of silver used for Pinos Altos; and variable assumptions for some other sites and pipeline projects. See "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2025 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below for more details.Pipeline Projects Continue to Advance – Building the Next Phase of Growth; Opportunities to Further Enhance Longer-Term ProductionThe Company is advancing a disciplined growth strategy aimed at enhancing the gold production profile in the short-term and supporting a pathway to increase annual gold production by 20-30% over the next decade, with the potential to exceed 4.0 million ounces in the early 2030s. The Company believes that this plan balances responsible, phased investment with a continued focus on exploration success, operational excellence and delivering strong returns to shareholders. The Company believes this growth strategy carries low execution and jurisdictional risk, as it is anchored in the expansions of world-class assets at Canadian Malartic and Detour Lake, as well as new mines in regions where the Company operates and has operating and technical expertise, established community relationships, existing infrastructure and established supply chains, supporting compelling, risk-adjusted returns.Key Project2026 Gold

For a description see "Notes to Investors Regarding Certain Project Evaluations" below**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 yearsThe Company's growth strategy includes the potential development of five organic projects that together could add up to an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 million ounces of annual gold production, along with 50,000 to 60,000 tonnes of copper and 150,000 to 160,000 tonnes of zinc per year, with ramp-up expected to begin starting in 2030. Construction activities at Canadian Malartic and the development of the exploration shaft and ramp at Upper Beaver are progressing ahead of schedule, while the development of the exploration ramp remains on schedule at Detour Lake. At Hope Bay, surface infrastructure upgrades have been completed, supporting a potential construction decision in the first half of 2026. At San Nicolás, the joint venture continues to advance the feasibility study and detailed engineering, while supporting the permitting process. Additional details on each of these projects are set out below.Canadian Malartic – Potential for 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of incremental annual gold productionThe Company continues to advance the transition to underground mining with the construction of the Odyssey mine. Once the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic is depleted in 2029, annual gold production is expected to be in the range of 550,000 to 600,000 ounces, supported by an underground mining rate of approximately 19,000 tpd from four deposits. At that time, the processing plant is expected to have approximately 40,000 tpd of excess capacity. The Company is advancing three projects to potentially utilize a portion of this excess capacity and position Canadian Malartic to ramp-up toward one million ounces of annual gold production starting in 2033. 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 mineExploration drilling in 2025 continued to expand the mineral reserves and mineral resources at the Odyssey mine, further demonstrating the quality and scale of the East Gouldie and Odyssey deposits. The table below sets out the mineral reserve and mineral resources at the Odyssey mine.Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resources – Odyssey mine (100% basis)

The significant growth of the mineral reserve and mineral resource base since December 31, 2022 supports the potential for a meaningful extension of the Odyssey mine life and provides a strong foundation for a larger, long-term production profile, with the addition of a new mining front supported by a second shaft. The Company believes this positions Odyssey as a multi-decade, world-class asset.Odyssey Shaft #1Mine development continued to progress ahead of schedule in the fourth quarter of 2025, delivering record quarterly advancement at Odyssey. The focus remains on preparing East Gouldie for the start of ramp-based production, expected in the first quarter of 2026 (three months earlier than planned). Development of the production levels for the first mining area has been completed, with workings now accessing East Gouldie mineralization, and the main ramp has reached the bottom of the second mining sequence at level 111 (a depth of 1,112 metres). Installation of the paste distribution infrastructure and essential services is nearing completion. Ventilation development also advanced, with raise excavations to level 58 ongoing and construction of the main exhaust fan station underway.Development of the material-handling infrastructure for the first shaft loading station between levels 102 and 114 continued to advance on schedule, supporting the expected start of shaft-hoisted production from East Gouldie in the second quarter of 2027. Shaft sinking progressed ahead of plan, reaching a depth of 1,466 metres as at December 31, 2025, reaching the top of the planned second loading station. Excavation of the material-handling infrastructure for the second loading station between levels 146 and 150 is now underway and is expected to continue through the third quarter of 2026. Shaft sinking remains on track to complete the first phase in the first quarter of 2027 at a planned depth of 1,600 metres, with the second loading station targeted for commissioning in 2029. 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 181 and 187, is expected to be completed and commissioned in 2031.Construction of key surface infrastructure progressed on schedule and on budget. Fabrication of the production hoist is underway in Germany, with delivery expected in the second quarter of 2026. Construction progressed on phase two of the paste plant (designed for a 20,000 tpd capacity) and is expected to be completed in 2027.Odyssey Shaft #2The Company is advancing a technical evaluation of a potential second shaft at the Odyssey mine, with the preferred shaft location now confirmed near Shaft #1 and close to the centre of gravity of the deposit. Drilling of the geotechnical pilot hole is progressing well, reaching a depth of 831 metres as at December 31, 2025, toward a planned depth of approximately 2,200 metres. The evaluation, which incorporates the year-end 2025 mineral resource update, will assess the potential for developing an 8,000 to 10,000 tpd operation, supported by a second shaft equipped with a friction hoist and dedicated service hoist, a configuration expected to lower operating costs and capital expenditures, accelerate start-up by requiring only one loading station and reduce the surface footprint.The technical evaluation is expected to be completed at the end of 2026, with permitting studies scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2026 and potential formal permit submission in early 2027. Approval of an amendment to the existing decree is expected to take approximately one year from submission of the application. Subject to permitting and Board approval, construction, shaft sinking and development of the associated underground material-handling and production infrastructure would be expected to take place over a four-year period, positioning the project for potential initial production in 2033.Marban – Satellite Open PitAs part of the Company's "fill-the-mill" strategy at the Canadian Malartic complex, the Marban property, located immediately northeast of the Canadian Malartic property, was acquired in March 2025 as an advanced exploration project that could potentially support an open pit mining operation similar to the Barnat open pit operation at Canadian Malartic.In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company completed an internal evaluation on Marban, removing previous property-boundary constraints on the pit design, which resulted in the Company's initial declaration of  estimated probable mineral reserves of 1.58 million ounces of gold (51.6 million tonnes grading 0.95 g/t gold) at December 31, 2025. Additionally, drilling completed in the quarter confirmed and extended the Marban gold deposit onto the Company's adjacent Callahan property to the east. The results of the drilling were not included in the 2025 mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates.The technical evaluation envisions a 14,000 to 16,000 tpd open pit operation producing between 120,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold annually over a 12 year life of mine. In 2026, the Company will integrate new drilling into an optimized pit design and assess opportunities to redeploy mobile equipment from the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic to minimize capital expenditures for the project. The results of this evaluation, expected at the end of 2026, will support the permitting process which is expected to be completed in 2030. Project construction could begin in 2031, with the potential for initial production as early as 2033.WasamacThe Wasamac project hosts mineral reserves of 1.38 million ounces of gold (14.8 million tonnes grading 2.9 g/t gold) and is being advanced as a potential satellite operation to support the Company's "fill-the-mill" strategy at Canadian Malartic. The project envisions an underground long-hole stoping operation with cemented rockfill, similar to LZ5 at LaRonde, with a planned mining rate of approximately 3,200 tpd. Ore will be transported to the Canadian Malartic mill for processing. Average annual gold production is expected to be approximately 90,000 ounces from a projected mill feed grade of 2.8 g/t gold. Initial capital expenditures are estimated at $270 million to $300 million, with operating costs of approximately C$115 per tonne, total cash costs per ounce of approximately $1,100 and annual sustaining capital expenditures of approximately $20 million. In 2026, the Company will continue advancing optimization and trade-off studies alongside permitting activities and engagement with stakeholders. Subject to permitting and Board approval, development could begin as early as 2029, with the potential for initial production in 2033 and an estimated mine life of approximately 15 years.Detour Lake – Potential for 300,000 to 350,000 ounces of incremental annual gold productionDetour Lake is Canada's largest gold mine, with gold production of 692,675 ounces at a processing rate of 76,353 tpd in 2025. As at December 31, 2025, Detour Lake hosted 18.6 million ounces of gold (798 million tonnes grading 0.72 g/t gold) in open pit, proven and probable mineral reserves, measured and indicated mineral resources of 17.2 million ounces of gold (675 million tonnes grading 0.79 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources of 6.2 million ounces of gold (111 million tonnes grading 1.73 g/t gold).In 2025, drilling continued to delineate a subset of the mineral resources with a gold cut-off grade of 1.20 g/t gold, which is amenable to underground mining within and adjacent to the open pit mineral resource. At year-end 2025, the high-grade mineralized corridor increased substantially relative to the June 2024 technical update (see the Company's news release dated June 19, 2024) based on the March 31, 2024 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate, which incorporated approximately 0.7 million ounces of gold in indicated mineral resources and 3.9 million ounces in gold of inferred mineral resources in the mine plan. The table below sets out the mineral reserve and mineral resources in the Detour Lake high grade mineralized corridor that are amenable to underground mining.Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resources – Detour Lake High-Grade Mineralized Corridor Amenable to Underground Mining

The Detour Lake expansion envisions the concurrent operation of the open pit with proposed underground mining at a rate of 11,200 tpd, combined with a mill throughput expansion to 79,450 tpd, which is now expected to be reached by 2030.Additionally, the successful completion of the high-intensity surface drilling program on a high-grade mineralized corridor in the West Pit zone has further strengthened confidence in the Detour Lake underground project. The drilling validated the continuity of the mineralization, confirmed the robustness of the geological model (maintaining grade while increasing tonnes and ounces) and improved the ability to mine with additional vertical stope opportunities.Building on the expanding underground-amenable mineral resource and geological confidence, the Company has allocated an additional $200 million, supplementing the $100 million previously approved in June 2024, to continue advancing the Detour Lake underground project through to a potential approval decision in mid-2027. Approximately $45 million was spent in 2024 and 2025 to advance technical studies and drilling, key surface infrastructure and an exploration ramp toward the West Extension zone. The exploration ramp reached a length of 569 metres and a depth of 90 metres as at December 31, 2025. The Company expects to spend approximately $130 million in 2026 and $125 million in 2027, including the extension of the exploration ramp to the planned bulk-sampling location at Level 200 and the collection of the bulk sample, additional service and operational facilities, procurement of mobile equipment to support an accelerated development schedule and the development of the conveyor ramp portal and ramp. These investments are designed to de-risk the project construction and ramp-up and may allow the Company to accelerate development toward the main ore zones.In parallel and not included in 2026 guidance, the Company is assessing the potential to begin underground production from the West Extension zone as early as 2028. Underground ore would be trucked via the exploration ramp to the mill and could contribute approximately 20,000 to 30,000 ounces of gold in 2028 and 2029.Upper Beaver – Potential for 200,000 to 225,000 ounces of annual gold production and 3,600 tonnes of copperAt Upper Beaver, the Company continues to accelerate project development through a phased approach to de-risking the project that includes developing an exploration ramp to a depth of 160 metres and an exploration shaft to a depth of 760 metres. This work will establish underground drilling platforms and allow for the collection of a bulk sample. 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 advanced ahead of schedule in the fourth quarter of 2025. The exploration ramp progressed by 507 metres, reaching a depth of 70 metres as at December 31, 2025. At the shaft, the headframe and hoist room were commissioned and sinking activities began, with the first blast completed in November. By year-end 2025, the shaft had reached a depth of 155 metres. Surface infrastructure construction, including the maintenance shop and water-treatment plant, was also completed, with commissioning underway.Given the strong execution to date, the Company has allocated an additional $100 million, supplementing the $200 million approved in July 2024, to accelerate project advancement to a potential sanction decision in mid-2027. This additional investment will include enhancements to the dewatering infrastructure, a housing strategy at Kirkland Lake for the workforce, the extension of the exploration ramp to Level 400 (from the previously planned Level 160), the acceleration of production-phase engineering and procurement of long-lead items. In parallel, a high-intensity drilling program is underway, similar to the program successfully completed at Detour Lake. Depending on the results of this program, this program could replace the planned bulk sample at the 760-metre level and has the potential to bring initial production forward to 2030.The Upper Beaver project has the potential to unlock significant long-term value across the Company's Kirkland Lake camp. In addition to potential extension of the mineralization at depth, the project could enable future development of nearby satellite deposits, including at Upper Canada and Anoki-McBean, supported by a centralized mill through a hub-and-spoke operating concept.Hope Bay – Potential for 400,000 to 425,000 ounces of annual gold productionTotal mineral reserves and measured and indicated mineral resources at Hope Bay remained consistent year-over-year, while total inferred mineral resource ounces increased by 46%, largely due to the exploration success at the Patch 7 zone at the Madrid deposit.Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resources – Hope Bay

The substantial growth of mineral resources at Patch 7 provides a potential third mining front, alongside Doris and Madrid North Naartok, to support the redevelopment of Hope Bay, envisioned as an operation similar in scale to the Meliadine mine in Nunavut. A technical evaluation is underway that contemplates annual gold production of 400,000 to 425,000 ounces at a mining and processing rate of 6,000 tpd. The Company expects to provide a project update, including a potential construction decision, in the second quarter of 2026.In 2025, the Company advanced site preparations for potential redevelopment, including upgrades to camp facilities with the installation of two new camp wings and the construction of a third wing underway, expansion of the port jetty and the dismantling of equipment in the existing mill. Additional construction equipment and service infrastructure were mobilized and shipped to site. Basic engineering has been completed, with detailed engineering expected to reach 50% to 55% prior to a potential construction announcement.In the fourth quarter of 2025, excavation of the Naartok East exploration ramp at Madrid advanced by 656 metres and reached the planned depth of 100 metres as at December 31, 2025. The 1.9-kilometre exploration ramp was developed to facilitate infill and expansion drilling along the Madrid zones. At Patch 7, the excavation of the portal of the dedicated exploration ramp also commenced.San Nicolás Copper Project (50/50 joint venture with Teck Resources Limited)In the fourth quarter of 2025, Minas de San Nicolás continued to advance the feasibility study and execution strategy, while waiting for the resolution from the authorities of both the MIA-R (Environmental Impact Assessment) and ETJ (Land Use Change) permits. All actions related to the MIA-R and ETJ permits are complete and a regulatory decision is expected in H1 2026. Engineering of the critical infrastructure remains a priority to continue building confidence in the study, reduce execution risk and prepare for a potential approval decision, pending receipt of permits. As at year-end 2025, over 30% of the engineering had been completed, with completion 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.Additional Optionality within the PortfolioIn addition to these projects, the Company continues to assess other opportunities in its exploration and development portfolio. Studies and evaluations are progressing at Hammond Reef near Atikokan in Northwestern Ontario, Timmins East in Ontario, and across the Company's land package in the Northern Territory, Australia. These assets provide flexibility for future production sequencing and capital allocation.The mineral reserves and mineral resources for these projects as at December 31, 2025 are set out in the table below.

An internal evaluation completed in 2020 (see the Company's news release dated February 11, 2021) outlined a development plan for a 30,000 tpd operation, with average annual gold production of 272,000 ounces over a projected 12-year mine life. While the Company has not approved the project for development, studies to optimize the project, update the costing assumptions and further advance the final permits required for construction and operation are underway. An update on the project is expected in 2027.Timmins East ProjectThe Timmins East land package is a series of properties in northeastern Ontario totalling 53,388 hectares and covering a 100 kilometre strike length. The land package has a complex exploration history dating back to at least the 1930s and hosts past-producing gold mines including Aquarius, Holt, Holloway, Hislop and Taylor, as well as the Holt processing facility, with a capacity of 3,000 tpd (suspended in 2020). Any potential redevelopment of the Timmins East project would require upgrades to the existing processing facility. During 2026, the Company will continue reviewing historical mining and exploration data across the property package, including previously identified high-priority exploration targets at past-producing assets. The review is expected to provide a ranking of exploration targets for potential diamond drilling with the objective of unlocking further value from this extensive land position in light of the higher gold price environment.Northern TerritoryThe Northern Territory asset package in northern Australia totals 175,064 hectares and comprises the Cosmo underground mine (closed in 2020), the Union Reefs processing facility (suspended in 2020), the proposed Union Reefs North underground development project and regional exploration assets within the historic Pine Creek gold district. During 2026, the Company expects to spend $8.0 million on exploration at the Northern Territory assets, including 48,600 metres of expensed drilling to follow up on results from 2025 and investigate other targets with potential for mineral resource growth. The current scenario analysis is focused on developing a decade-long sustainable ore supply from multiple sources to the Union Reefs processing facility, with a potential upgrade of the processing plant to treat refractory ores.New Three-Year Guidance – Stable Gold Production Through 2028; Total Cash Costs and AISC for 2026 Remain Peer-Leading; Increased Investment to Support Future GrowthGold production is forecast to remain stable at approximately 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces annually in 2026 through 2028, consistent with gold production in 2025 and Previous Guidance for 2026 and 2027. The outlook for 2028 has improved, supported by the extension of production at Meadowbank through 2030 and possibly beyond and contributions from East Gouldie at Canadian Malartic, Fosterville and Kittila, which are expected to offset an anticipated lower gold grade sequence at Detour Lake.Under the Company's revised composition of total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce, the mid-point of the Company's 2026 guidance for total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce is expected to be $1,070 and $1,475, respectively9. This represents an increase of approximately 12% compared to 2025, primarily reflecting higher royalty costs driven by the assumed gold price of $4,500 per ounce, cost inflation, a stronger Canadian dollar assumption and lower grade sequences at Macassa, Meadowbank, Fosterville and Canadian Malartic.The 2026 production and cost guidance summary is set out below.2026 Guidance Summary

Guidance for total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce is forecast using the Company's revised composition of these non-GAAP measures for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026. 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.11 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 TaxesFor 2026, the Company expects its effective tax rates to be:Canada – 35% to 40%Mexico – 35% to 40%Australia – 30%Finland – 20%The Company's overall effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 34% to 36% for the full year 2026.The Company estimates consolidated cash taxes of approximately $3.4 to $3.6 billion in 2026 at prevailing gold prices, compared to $1.2 billion in 2025. The increase in cash taxes from 2025 reflects both expected higher operating margins and approximately $1.3 billion for the remaining cash tax liability related to the 2025 taxation year, which will be paid in the first quarter of 2026. The remaining cash taxes in 2026 are expected to be paid in quarterly installments ranging between $525 million and $575 million with a mid-point of $550 million.NTI PaymentFor 2026, the Company expects to pay between $185 million and $195 million with respect to the NTI Payment at Amaruq, using a gold price assumption of $4,500 per ounce. The NTI Payment is included in production costs but excluded from total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce.

The improved forecast reflects higher production from Meadowbank following its mine life extension to 2030, along with additional contributions from Canadian Malartic (accelerating production ramp-up at East Gouldie), Fosterville (optimization initiatives increasing mining and milling rates to 1.2 million tonnes per year) and Kittila (optimization of mining sequence and throughput). These gains are expected to offset lower production relative to 2026 and 2027 at Detour Lake, due to lower gold grades in the mining sequence, and at Meadowbank, with operations transitioning from primarily open pit to primarily underground.Cash Cost Guidance

$                      1,070Total cash costs per ounce in 2026 are expected to increase by approximately 12% (approximately $117 per ounce) when compared to 2025. The expected increase is mainly driven by:Higher royalty costs (approximately $36 per ounce), reflecting the assumed gold price $4,500 per ounce compared to a realized gold price of $3,435 per ounce in 2025Cost inflation (approximately $33 per ounce), mainly related to labour, electricity, equipment parts and electrical components, net of cost reductions due to efficiency gainsA weaker US dollar (approximately $31 per ounce), primarily reflected by a USD:CAD exchange rate assumption of 1.36 in 2026 compared to 1.40 in 2025; andLower grade sequencing (approximately $17 per ounce): gold grades are expected to be lower at Macassa, Fosterville, Meadowbank and Canadian Malartic, in line with the respective mine plans, with higher throughputs and cost optimization offsetting the impact on gold production and minesite costs per tonne at those sitesAISC Cost Guidance

$                   1,475_______________________12 2026 Guidance for total cash costs per ounce by mine, region and the consolidated Company are based on the mid-point of 2026 production guidance as set out in the table above. 2026 Guidance for AISC per ounce for the consolidated Company is based on the mid-point of 2026 production guidance as set out in the table above.13 Total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce for 2025 Actual and 2026 Guidance set out in the tables above have been calculated using the Company's revised composition for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026. This revised composition affects only total cash costs per ounce for Meadowbank, the Nunavut region and the consolidated Company and AISC per ounce for the consolidated Company. Total cash costs per ounce for other mines and regions are not affected. Using the Company's composition of this measure for periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2025, total cash costs per ounce were $1,110 for Meadowbank, $1,091 for Nunavut and $979 for the consolidated Company and AISC per ounce was $1,339 for the consolidated Company.AISC per ounce in 2026 is expected to increase by 12% (approximately $162 per ounce) when compared to 2025, driven largely by the same factors contributing to higher total cash costs per ounce, an increase in non-cash reclamation related costs and a slight increase in sustaining capital expenditures as described below. The Company expects unit costs and AISC per ounce to rise in line with an inflation rate of 3% to 5% through 2027 and 2028.The Company remains focused on attempting to reduce costs through productivity improvements and innovation initiatives at all of its operations and the realization of any such additional operational synergies is not currently factored into the cost guidance.Cost guidance provided for total cash costs per ounce is derived from the currency and commodity price assumptions below and are subject to the following sensitivities:2026 Commodity and Currency Price Assumptions

At this time, the Company believes 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 review 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. However, approximately 65% of the Company's cost structure relates to labour, contractors, energy and royalties, which are not expected to be directly affected by any of the tariffs or trade disputes. While there is uncertainty as to whether further tariffs or retaliatory measures will be implemented, the quantum of such tariffs, the nature of such measures, the goods on which they may be applied and the ultimate effect of tariffs or other trade disputes on the Company's supply chains, the Company continues to monitor developments and may take steps to limit the effect of any tariffs or trade disputes on it as may be appropriate in the circumstances. The costs guidance provided in this news release assumes there will be no impact from such tariffs, retaliatory measures or trade disputes.Three-Year Production Guidance by MineSince the Previous Guidance, there have been several operating developments resulting in changes to the updated three-year production profile.

Gold production is expected to increase to 340,000 ounces of gold in 2026, driven by higher gold grades at the LaRonde mine, an increase in the mining rate at LZ5 to 3,800 tpd (a year earlier than previously anticipated) and the addition of new production zones. The integration of the Fringe, Dumagami and 11-3 zones into the mine plan are expected to enhance the mine production flexibility and support the Company's strategy to manage seismicity at depth.LaRonde has planned a mill shutdown of 10 days in the second quarter of 2026 in order to replace the liners at the SAG mill and to complete overall maintenance of the drystack filtration plant and flotation circuit. LaRonde also has planned four-day shutdowns in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2026 for regular maintenance.Canadian Malartic Gold Production (oz)20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)590,000560,000650,000 n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)642,612 (actual)590,000655,000735,000

19,9881.0190.9 %C$49At Canadian Malartic, the production forecast in 2026 has increased, supported by stronger-than-expected gold grades at the Barnat pit, consistent with 2025 performance, and by the continued ramp-up of production at Odyssey, including initial production from the East Gouldie deposit.Production in 2027 remains consistent with Previous Guidance, while 2028 gold production is expected to increase by approximately 80,000 ounces to 735,000 ounces when compared to 2027, which is anticipated to be driven by growing contributions from East Gouldie at Odyssey.From 2026 to 2028, production is expected to be sourced from the Barnat pit and increasingly supplemented by ore from Odyssey and low-grade stockpiles. Odyssey is expected to contribute approximately 120,000 ounces of gold in 2026, approximately 240,000 ounces of gold in 2027 and approximately 450,000 ounces of gold in 2028 as mining activities ramp-up.In 2026, Canadian Malartic has planned four-day quarterly shutdowns for regular maintenance at the mill.______________________14 Minesite costs per tonne is a non-GAAP measure that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards. For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company has revised the composition of this measure, which only affects minesite costs per tonne reported at Meadowbank.

At Goldex, the 2026 production guidance is slightly lower than Previous Guidance, reflecting a planned increase in lower-grade ore sourced from Akasaba West, which is expected to contribute approximately 18,000 ounces of gold and 3,000 tonnes of copper in 2026.Ore feed from Akasaba West is also expected to increase in 2027, with contributions of approximately 25,000 ounces of gold and 4,000 tonnes of copper expected in both 2027 and 2028. At the same time, the Company plans to send approximately 1,500 tpd of higher-grade South Zone ore to the Canadian Malartic mill to benefit from higher recoveries. Together, the Company anticipates that these adjustments support the forecast increase in gold production in 2027 and 2028.In 2026, Goldex has planned quarterly shutdowns of two to three days for regular maintenance at the mill.ABITIBI REGION, ONTARIODetour Lake Gold Production (oz)20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)720,000735,000645,000n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)692,675 (actual)715,000625,000605,000

28,0000.8890.5 %C$32At Detour Lake, production guidance for 2026 and 2027 has been revised modestly lower compared to Previous Guidance. The updated outlook reflects adjustments to the mining sequence following delays encountered in 2025 and to the mining rate to reflect performance in 2025, as well as a decision to slow down the planned mill ramp-up to 79,450 tpd. The Company is advancing additional optimization initiatives to support the increase in throughput, which is now expected to be completed by the end of 2029. With these adjustments, the Company now anticipates a production step-up at Detour Lake in 2030 and reaching annual production of approximately one million ounces of gold in 2031.From 2026 to 2028, gold production is expected to decline year-over-year as the operation transitions into a lower grade and higher strip-ratio phase of the mine plan. Gold grades are expected to average 0.77g/t in 2027 and 0.69 g/t in 2028, with strip-ratios between 4.0 to 4.5, compared to 2.8 in 2025.Building on recent exploration success expanding underground mineralization west of the open pit and near the planned exploration ramp, the Company is assessing the potential to begin ramping-up underground production as early as 2028. Under such a scenario, initial underground ore would be trucked to the mill and could contribute approximately 20,000 to 30,000 ounces of gold per year in 2028 and 2029.Detour Lake has scheduled three major shutdowns, each lasting seven days, for regular mill maintenance in the first, second and fourth quarters of 2026.Macassa Gold Production (oz)20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)310,000325,000335,000 n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)312,729 (actual)315,000325,000330,000

98110.4096.0 %C$475At Macassa, the production guidance in 2026 and 2027 has been revised to be modestly lower when compared to Previous Guidance, primarily due to the deferral of initial production from the AK deposit in 2026 and a lower-than-previously-planned contribution from the AK deposit in 2027. The Company completed modifications to the LZ5 processing facility at LaRonde to accommodate the AK deposit ore in 2025. An amendment to the LZ5 processing facility permit to process ore from the AK deposit is expected to be received in the first quarter of 2026, with trucking and processing at the LZ5 processing facility now planned to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Production from the AK deposit is forecast to be approximately 45,000 ounces of gold in 2026, and approximately 50,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold in 2027 and in 2028.Gold production in 2026 is expected to be in line with 2025 as ongoing mill optimization and the initial contribution from the AK deposit offset the lower gold grades as per the mining sequence. Macassa remains on track to ramp-up mill capacity to 2,040 tpd by the end of 2026, compared to a mill throughput of 1,570 tpd in 2025. The Tertiary 2 mill was rehabilitated in 2025, including upgrades to key grinding ancillary equipment. Additional optimization initiatives continue to advance, targeting improved runtime and throughput through the installation of an ore storage dome and re-feed system, automation and instrumentation enhancements and upgrades to the crushing plant. These improvements are expected to be completed by the end of 2027, supporting a planned throughput of approximately 2,150 tpd. Higher production in 2027 and 2028 relative to 2026 reflects the continued optimization of the Macassa mill.Macassa has scheduled a major shutdown of five days in the third quarter of 2026, for replacement of the primary grinding mill liner, the annual overhaul of the crusher and other regular mill maintenance.NUNAVUTMeliadine Gold Production (oz)20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)385,000410,000420,000n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)376,346 (actual)390,000420,000430,000

2,3735.3296.1 %C$236At Meliadine, the production guidance for 2026 is slightly lower than Previous Guidance, while the outlook for 2027 remains the same. The modest reduction in 2026 reflects adjustments to the mine plan and mining sequence, following the cost improvement initiatives achieved over the past two years. The Company continues to advance mill optimization efforts, achieving throughput of 6,441 tpd in 2025, ahead of the 6,250 tpd target. Mill performance is expected to improve further, with throughput expected to increase to approximately 6,500 tpd in 2027 and 6,700 tpd in 2028, supporting the higher gold production guidance for those years.Meliadine has scheduled quarterly shutdowns lasting four to five days for regular mill maintenance.Meadowbank Gold Production (oz)20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)495,000450,000390,000n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)493,314 (actual)485,000440,000275,000

4,2303.9191.2 %C$148At Meadowbank, the production guidance has improved in 2026 and 2027 when compared with Previous Guidance. Supported by the stronger gold price environment, the Company has approved a push-back at the open pit, extending mine life by two years to 2030. Combined with additional underground contribution, this extension is expected to add approximately 740,000 ounces of gold (21.2 million tonnes grading 2.65 g/t gold) to the 2026 to 2030 production profile compared to prior forecasts. While these ounces carry a higher cost base, they are still expected to generate strong cash flow at current gold prices. Benefitting from ongoing optimization efforts, the Amaruq underground mine is now expected to contribute approximately 150,000 ounces of gold annually from 2026 to 2028. The Company is also assessing the potential to extend operations beyond 2030 through an underground-only mine plan, with preliminary results expected in early 2027.The Company continues to account for the caribou migration in its production plan as this migration can affect the ability to move materials on the road between Amaruq and the Meadowbank processing facility and between the Meadowbank processing facility and Baker Lake. Wildlife management is an important priority and the Company is working with Nunavut stakeholders to optimize solutions to safeguard wildlife and reduce production disruptions.Meadowbank has scheduled two major 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._________________________15 For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company has revised the composition of this non-GAAP measure. These revisions only affect minesite costs per tonne reported at Meadowbank. In 2025, production costs per tonne at Meadowbank were C$195 and minesite costs per tonne (using the Company's revised composition of such measure) were C$162. Using the Company's composition of this measure for periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2025, minesite costs per tonne were C$194 at Meadowbank in 2025.

9855.0793.4 %A$293At Fosterville, production guidance in 2026 and 2027 is in line with Previous Guidance, with production expected to increase to approximately 180,000 ounces of gold in 2028.As gold grades continue to decline with the depletion of the high-grade Swan zone, the Company has advanced a plan to increase the mining and milling rate by approximately 65% to 3,300 tpd while reducing costs per tonne by approximately 20% over the next three years when compared to 2025. This strategy is designed to support annual production of 160,000 to 190,000 ounces of gold starting in 2028 and sustain that range in the early 2030s based on the current mineral reserves and mineral resources.On the mining side, the plan includes developing additional mining areas to support more than 12 active production fronts, together with ongoing operational improvements. The commencement of production at Robbins Hill in 2025 added a third mining area, enhancing production flexibility. Continuous improvement initiatives are underway to drive productivity, including stope-cycle optimization and increasing development rates to sustain approximately 12 kilometres of annual development. The ramp-up also relies on the timely execution of key capital projects, including upgrades to the ventilation infrastructure – completion of the underground primary fans (expected in first quarter of 2026), the southern surface ventilation return air raise (expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026) and the Robbins Hill surface ventilation return air raise (expected in 2027), as well as the expansion of the pastefill system to Harrier (expected in the second quarter of 2026). These projects are expected to total approximately $13 million over the next two years.At the processing plant, achieving the targeted 3,300 tpd throughput will require upgrades to the grinding circuit and related ancillary equipment to maintain current recovery levels. The plan also includes the construction of two new tailings cells, with the first cell expected to be operational by year-end 2027 and the second by year-end 2029. These projects are estimated to total approximately $35 million over the next four years.Through its ongoing exploration program, the Company sees significant upside potential at Fosterville to support continued mine life extensions. Recent expansion and conversion drilling has successfully replaced a substantial portion of mining depletion. The Company will continue to advance drilling on the extensions of the Lower Phoenix and Robbins Hill mineral reserves and mineral resources, while also expanding its drilling footprint onto the prospective land package acquired from S2 Resources in 2025. Gold-bearing structures at Fosterville extend onto these newly consolidated grounds, providing opportunities for near-mine expansion drilling directly from existing underground infrastructure.Fosterville has scheduled five-day quarterly shutdowns for regular mill maintenance in 2026.FINLANDKittila Forecast20252026202720282025 Guidance (mid-point)230,000240,000240,000n/a 2026 Guidance (mid-point)217,379 (actual)220,000225,000250,000

At Pinos Altos, the production guidance in 2026 and 2027 has been revised modestly lower from Previous Guidance, reflecting a reduced mining rate at the Santo Nino deposit to accommodate more challenging ground conditions and performance observed in 2025. Production is expected to increase in 2028 compared to 2027, supported by the planned start of the Reyna de Plata East open pit in late 2027 and higher grades at Cubiro as per the mining sequence.Capital Expenditures GuidanceIn 2026, estimated capital expenditures (excluding capitalized exploration) are expected to be between $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion, which includes $960 million of sustaining capital expenditures and $1,325 million of development capital expenditures. In 2026, estimated capitalized exploration expenditures are expected to be between $290 million and $330 million.This compares to the full year 2025 capital expenditures of $2.1 billion (which included $931 million of sustaining capital expenditures and $1,142 million of development capital expenditures) and capitalized exploration of $318 million. The overall increase in capital expenditures when compared to 2025 reflects reinvestment in the business to lay the groundwork for future growth through both development capital expenditures and capitalized exploration.Forecast sustaining capital expenditures slightly higher year-over-year, reflecting an increase in deferred costs at Detour Lake related to a higher strip ratio phase in the mine plan, partially offset by lower deferred costs at the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic and the Whale Tail pit at Meadowbank.The increase in development capital expenditures expected in 2026 when compared to 2025 is primarily related to Meadowbank, the Detour Lake underground project and Macassa. At Meadowbank, underground deferred development increased relating to the life of mine extension to 2030. At Detour Lake, the Company plans to accelerate spending at the underground project, totalling approximately $60 million in 2026, relating to additional service and operational facilities, procurement of mobile equipment and the development of the conveyor-ramp portal and ramp. These investments are designed to further de-risk project construction and ramp-up and may allow the Company to accelerate development toward the main ore zones. At Macassa, the Company is upgrading the crushing circuit to optimize the mill throughput and investing in increasing its tailings storage capacity to support the higher throughput.With the positive exploration results in 2025, the Company continues to be confident in the potential restart of mining operations at Hope Bay. Given the logistics of operating in Nunavut, the Company is planning to continue upgrading existing infrastructure and advance site preparedness for potential redevelopment. Total expected development capital expenditures of $1,325 million in 2026 include an initial $102 million relating to Hope Bay. If the project is approved for redevelopment in the second quarter of 2026, additional development capital expenditures ranging between $300 million and $350 million are expected for the remainder of 2026.The table below sets out the expected capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration) in 2026, broken down between sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures.2026 Capital Expenditures Guidance

$                917Regional HighlightsGold production in the quarter was higher than planned primarily as a result of higher grades at the LaRonde mine and at the Barnat pit at Canadian Malartic. The higher grades at LaRonde were primarily as a result of higher-than-expected grade in the West mine area. The higher gold grades at Canadian Malartic were a result of the continued mining of mineralized zones near historical underground stopes in the Barnat pit that returned higher grades than anticipatedAt LZ5, the Company continued its automation initiatives and achieved its automation targets. For the full year 2025, approximately 22% of the ore hauled to surface was moved using automated scoops and trucks, exceeding the production target of 3,500 tpdAt Odyssey, total development during both the quarter and the full year 2025 was a record at approximately 5,419 metres and 19,311 metres, respectively. Gold production was slightly below plan at 16,289 ounces resulting from lower ore production resulting from increased waste extraction at East Gouldie. Gold production of 87,812 ounces was a record for the full year 2025At Goldex, record quarterly tonnage (approximately 846,800 tonnes) was processed for the third consecutive quarter, driven by record total tonnage processed from Akasaba West of approximately 229,000 tonnesAn update on Odyssey and the "fill-the-mill" strategy is set out in the Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects section aboveABITIBI REGION, ONTARIORecord Annual Mill Throughput at Detour Lake; Higher Grades Drive Record Annual Production at MacassaAbitibi Ontario – Operating Statistics

$                     852Regional HighlightsGold production in the quarter was in line with plan at both Detour Lake and MacassaAt Detour Lake, gold production increased from the previous quarter due to higher gold grades in and around the historical underground workings in the Phase 4 area. In 2025, gold production at Detour Lake was lower than expected as the mining operations were affected by challenging abnormal weather conditions early in the year and slower progress around the historical underground workings, resulting in lower than planned run-of-mine ore tonnes. The shortfall in volume of ore was supplemented by ore from low grade stockpiles. The updated outlook for 2026 and 2027 reflects adjustments to the mining sequence and mining rate following delays encountered in 2025At Macassa, gold grades were higher than anticipated at three stopes. This partially offset lower mill throughput caused by a planned 5-day mill shutdown and a delay in processing ore from the AK deposit while the Company awaits the approval of a permit amendment to process the ore at the LZ5 processing facility. The Company expects to receive the permit in the first quarter of 2026Updates on the Detour Lake underground and Upper Beaver projects are set out in the Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects section aboveNUNAVUTRecord Annual Throughput at Meliadine and Strong Annual Gold Production at MeadowbankNunavut – Operating Statistics

The mills achieved strong performance, with shutdowns of four and five days at Meliadine and Meadowbank, respectively, completed as plannedAt Meliadine, as a result of mill optimization initiatives after the completion of the Phase 2 mill expansion, the mill continued to exceed the targeted annual throughput rate of 6,250 tpd, achieving quarterly throughput of 6,750 tpd in the fourth quarter and 6,441 tpd for the full year. Gold grades were lower in the quarter as a result of a change mining sequenceAt Meadowbank, the mill achieved strong throughput during the quarter driven by more ore tonnes from both the open pit and underground operations.

Lower gold grades reflect changes to the mining sequenceThe higher throughput was supported by better than planned ore extracted during the quarter. The mine continues to realize productivity gains through sustained improvement efforts over the past year as demonstrated by record ore extracted in 2025Minesite costs per tonne continue to demonstrate the benefits of continuous improvement initiatives. Minesite costs per tonne for the full year 2025 decreased by approximately 4%, from €103 to €99 per tonne, when compared to the prior-year period. This decrease was achieved despite the increase in royalty costs per tonne of approximately €2 due to higher gold prices in 2025 compared to the prior yearMEXICOOperational Performance at Cubiro Drives Solid Gold ProductionPinos Altos – Operating Statistics

These measures and ratios may not be comparable to similar measures and ratios 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 consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.Total Cash Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced and Minesite Costs per TonneTotal Cash Costs per OunceTotal cash costs per ounce is reported on a per ounce of gold produced basis on both 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 co-product basis (without deducting the impact of by-product metals). Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis for periods ending on or before December 31, 2025 are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of income 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 will additionally adjust production costs for the NTI Payment (as discussed further below), which adjustment will only affect 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. Where this amended composition is used and the change affects the quantum of total cash costs per ounce, this news release indicates this by referring to the non-GAAP measure as "total cash costs per ounce (revised)".For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company revised the composition of certain of its non-GAAP performance measures, including "total cash costs per ounce", to adjust for the NTI Payment. The NTI Payment is the payment to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. 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 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 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 as 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.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 TonneMinesite costs per tonne for periods ending on or before December 31, 2025 are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of income 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 will additionally adjust production costs for the NTI Payment (as discussed above in "Total Cash Costs per Ounce"), which adjustment will only affect 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. Where this amended composition is used and the change affects the quantum of minesite costs per tonne, this news release indicates this by referring to the non-GAAP measure as "minesite costs per tonne (revised)".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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as presented in the consolidated statements of income in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.Total Production Costs by Mine

Notes:(i)     This inventory adjustment reflects production costs associated with the portion of production still in inventory. Included in inventory adjustments for Canadian Malartic for the year ended December 31, 2024 is C$8.1 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.(ii)     In-kind royalty adjustments in respect of Canadian Malartic, Detour Lake and Macassa relate to the 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 minesite costs per tonne.(iii)   For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company has adjusted the composition of "minesite costs per tonne" to adjust for the NTI Payment. The NTI Payment is incurred solely at Meadowbank and are included in production costs under IFRS Accounting Standards and subtracted from production costs in the calculation of minesite costs per tonne.(iv)   For each of the Company's mines other than Meadowbank and its regions other than Nunavut, "minesite costs per tonne" and "minesite costs per tonne (revised)" are the same.(v)     La India's cost calculations per tonne for the year ended December 31, 2024 exclude approximately $49.8 million of production costs incurred during the period, following the cessation of mining activities at La India during the fourth quarter of 2023.All-in sustaining costs per ounceAll-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 and Minesite Costs per Tonne – 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 and Minesite Costs Per Tonne – 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. Where this new composition is used, this news release will indicate by referring to the non-GAAP measure as "all-in sustaining costs per ounce (revised)".Management believes that AISC per ounce is helpful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides helpful 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 AISC per ounce is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.The Company's revised composition of AISC per ounce remains consistent with the guidance on AISC per ounce released by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in 2018, except in respect 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 an income tax under IFRS 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and a co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues).(United States dollars per ounce, except where noted)Three Months EndedDecember 31,

Notes:






(i) Gold production for the three months ended December 31, 2025 excludes 925 ounces of payable production of gold at La India and 70 ounces of payable production of gold at Creston Mascota, which were produced from residual leaching, as well as 7,026 ounces of gold recovered at Hope Bay. Gold production for the year ended December 31, 2025 excludes 4,539 ounces of payable production of gold at La India and 323 ounces of payable production of gold at Creston Mascota, which were produced from residual leaching, as well as 9,468 ounces of gold recovered at Hope Bay(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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are $3.0 million, $5.8 million, respectively, in association 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 50% of Canadian Malartic that Agnico Eagle did not then hold. Included in inventory adjustments for Canadian Malartic for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are $9.2 million, $5.8 million, respectively, in association 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 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 relate to the in-kind royalty of 5.0%, 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, paid in respect of gold production ounces of payable production of gold 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(iv) Sustaining leases are lease payments related to sustaining assets(v) For periods commencing on or after January 1, 2026, the Company has adjusted the composition of "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" on both a by-product and co-product basis to adjust for the NTI Payment 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 all-in sustaining costs per ounce. See discussion above under "All-in Sustaining Cost per Ounce"Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per shareAdjusted net income takes the net income as recorded in the consolidated statements of income and adjusts for the effects of certain non-recurring, unusual and other 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 items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance and 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, sale of non-strategic properties, multi-year donations, 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 a reconciliation of net income per the consolidated statements of income to adjusted net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

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) Other adjustments relate to retroactive payments that management considers not reflective of the Company's underlying performance in the comparative period(iv) 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 filingsEBITDA and adjusted EBITDAEBITDA 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 consolidated statements of income.Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of certain non-recurring, unusual and other 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 items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, impairment loss charges and reversals, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains and losses, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, gains and losses on the sale of equity securities, self-insurance losses, gains on the sale of non-strategic exploration properties, multi-year health care donations, disposals of supplies inventory at non-operating sites and retroactive payments.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 a reconciliation of net income per the consolidated statements of income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

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 capitalFree 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 consolidated statements of cash flows.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 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.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 a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities per the consolidated statements of cash flows to free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital and to cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

$           4.13Operating marginOperating 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company adds the following items to the operating margin: income and mining taxes expense; other expenses (income); care and maintenance expenses; foreign currency translation (gain) loss; environmental remediation costs; gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments; finance costs; general and administrative expenses; amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; revaluation gain and impairment losses (reversals). The Company believes that operating margin is a useful 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 exploration and corporate development expenses, amortization of property, plant and mine development, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, gain and losses on derivative financial instruments, environmental remediation costs, foreign currency translation gains and losses, other expenses and income and mining tax expenses. 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. For a reconciliation of operating margin to revenue from operations, see "Summary of Operations Key Performance Indicators".Capital expendituresCapital expenditures are calculated by deducting working capital adjustments from additions to property, plant and mine development per the consolidated statements of cash flows.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 consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.(thousands)Three Months Ended

Net cash (debt)Net cash (debt) is calculated by adjusting the total of the current portion of long-term debt and non-current long-term debt as recorded on the consolidated balance sheets for deferred financing costs and cash and cash equivalents. Management believes the measure of net cash (debt) is useful to help investors determine the Company's overall cash (debt) position and to evaluate the future debt capacity of the Company. The Company changed the label for this non-GAAP measure from "net debt" to "net cash (debt)" as the Company believes that reporting a positive net cash position is more clear and understandable to readers than a negative net debt position. The Company's method of calculating this non-GAAP measure has not changed.The following table sets out a reconciliation of long-term debt per the consolidated balance sheets to net cash (debt) as at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

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 mines and projects and, consistent with the reconciliation of these actual costs referred to above, do not include production costs attributable to accretion expense and other asset retirement costs, which 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.Forward-Looking StatementsThe information in this news release has been prepared as at February 12, 2026. Certain statements contained in this news release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws and are referred to herein as "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address circumstances, events, activities or developments that could, or may or will occur are forward-looking statements. When used in this news release, the words "achieve", "aim", "anticipate", "commit", "could", "envisions", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "future", "guide", "objective", "plan", "potential", "schedule", "target", "track", "will", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include the Company's forward-looking guidance, including metal production, estimated ore grades, recovery rates, project timelines, drilling targets or results, life of mine estimates, total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce, other expenses and cash flows; the potential for additional gold production at the Company's sites, including the potential to increase annual gold production by 20% to 30% over the next decade, exceeding four million ounces by the early 2030s; the estimated timing and conclusions of the Company's studies and evaluations; the methods by which ore will be extracted or processed; the Company's plans at Detour Lake underground, Upper Beaver, Odyssey, Hope Bay and San Nicolás, including the approval, timing, funding, completion and commissioning thereof and the commencement of production therefrom; statements concerning the Company's "fill-the-mill" strategy at Canadian Malartic; statements concerning other expansion projects, recovery rates, mill throughput, optimization efforts and projected exploration, including costs and other estimates upon which such projections are based; timing and amounts of capital expenditures, other expenditures and other cash needs, and expectations as to the funding thereof; estimates of future mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral production and sales; the projected development of certain ore deposits, including estimates of exploration, development, production, closure and other capital expenditures and estimates of the timing of such exploration, development, production and closure or decisions with respect to such exploration, development, production and closure; estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources and the effect of drill results and studies on future mineral reserves and mineral resources; the Company's ability to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations in connection with its proposed or current exploration, development and mining operations, and the anticipated timing or submission or receipt thereof; future exploration; the anticipated timing of events with respect to the Company's mine sites; the Company's plans and strategies with respect to sustainability initiatives; the sufficiency of the Company's cash resources; the Company's plans with respect to hedging and the effectiveness of its hedging strategies; future activity with respect to the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility and other indebtedness; future dividend amounts, record dates and payment dates; the effect of tariffs and trade restrictions on the Company; plans with respect to activity under the NCIB; and anticipated trends with respect to the Company's operations, exploration and the funding thereof. Such statements reflect the Company's views as at the date of this news release and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Agnico Eagle as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of the forward-looking statements contained herein, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the assumptions set forth herein and in management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "MD&A") and the Company's Annual Information Form (the "AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2024 (and, when available, the Company's AIF for the year ended December 31, 2025) filed with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as well as: that there are no significant disruptions affecting operations; that production, permitting, development, expansion and the ramp-up of operations at each of Agnico Eagle's properties proceeds on a basis consistent with current expectations and plans; that the Company's plans for its mining operations are not changed or amended in a material way; that the relevant metal prices, foreign exchange rates and prices for key mining and construction inputs (including labour and electricity) will be consistent with Agnico Eagle's expectations; that the effect of tariffs or trade disputes will not materially affect the price or availability of the inputs the Company uses at its operations; that Agnico Eagle's current estimates of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and metal recovery are accurate; that there are no material delays in the timing for completion of ongoing growth projects; that seismic activity at the Company's operations at LaRonde, Goldex, Fosterville and other properties is as expected by the Company and that the Company's efforts to mitigate its effect on mining operations, including with respect to community relations, are successful; that the Company's current plans to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are successful; that the Company's current plans to optimize production are successful; that there are no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environment; that governments, the Company or others do not take measures in response to pandemics or other health emergencies or otherwise that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Company's ability to operate its business or its productivity; and that measures taken relating to, or other effects of, pandemics or other health emergencies do not affect the Company's ability to obtain necessary supplies and deliver them to its mine sites. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; uncertainty of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, project development, capital expenditures and other costs; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; inflationary pressures; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs; seismic activity at the Company's operations, including at LaRonde, Goldex and Fosterville; mining risks; community protests, including by Indigenous groups; risks associated with foreign operations; risks associated with joint ventures; governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company's stock price; risks associated with the Company's currency, fuel and by-product metal derivative strategies; the current interest rate environment; the potential for major economies to encounter a slowdown in economic activity or a recession; the potential for increased conflict or hostilities in various regions, including Europe, South America and the Middle East; and the extent and manner of communicable diseases or outbreaks, and measures taken by governments, the Company or others to attempt to mitigate the spread thereof may directly or indirectly affect the Company. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the 2024 AIF (and, when available, the 2025 AIF) and MD&A filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the SEC. Other than as required by law, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.Notes to Investors Regarding Certain Project EvaluationsThe 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.Notes to Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral ResourcesThe 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.

Tonnage amounts and contained metal amounts set out in this table have been rounded to the nearest thousand, so may not aggregate to equal column or row 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 include internal dilution. Mineable shape optimization parameters may differ for mineral reserves and mineral resources.The mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages reported for silver, copper and zinc are a subset of the mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages for gold. The Company's economic parameters set the maximum price allowed to be no more than the lesser of the three-year moving average and current spot price, which is a common industry standard. Given the current commodity price environment, Agnico Eagle continues to use more conservative gold and silver prices.NI 43-101 requires mining companies to disclose mineral reserves and mineral resources using the subcategories of "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at prefeasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of modifying factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The mineral reserves presented in this news release are separate from and not a portion of the mineral resources.Modifying factors are considerations used to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the modifying factors. A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource. The confidence in the modifying factors applied to a probable mineral reserve is lower than that applied to a proven mineral reserve.A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.A measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of modifying factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity.Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.A feasibility study is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable modifying factors, together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a pre-feasibility study.Additional InformationAdditional information about each of the Company's material mineral projects as at December?31, 2025, including information regarding data verification, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources and the risks that could materially affect the development of the mineral reserves and mineral resources required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 and paragraphs 3.4(a), (c) and (d) of NI 43-101 can be found in the Company's AIF and 2025 MD&A filed on SEDAR+ and with the SEC on EDGAR and in the following technical reports filed on SEDAR+ in respect of the Company's material mineral properties: Detour Lake Operation, Ontario, Canada, NI 43-101 Technical Report (September 20, 2024); NI 43-101 Technical Report of the LaRonde complex in Quebec, Canada (March 24, 2023); NI 43-101 Technical Report Canadian Malartic Mine, Quebec, Canada (March 25, 2021); Technical Report on the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at Meadowbank Gold complex including the Amaruq Satellite Mine Development, Nunavut, Canada as at December 31, 2017 (February 14, 2018); and the Updated Technical Report on the Meliadine Gold Project, Nunavut, Canada (February 11, 2015).APPENDIX B – FINANCIAL INFORMATIONAGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITEDSUMMARY OF OPERATIONS KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS(thousands of United States dollars, except where noted)

Notes:(i) Operating margin is not a recognized measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. See Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance – Operating Margin for more information on the Company's calculation and use of operating margin.(ii) Payable production (a non-GAAP non-financial performance measure) is the quantity of mineral produced during a period contained in products that are or will be sold by the Company, whether such products are sold during the period or held as inventories at the end of the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, it excludes 925 ounces of payable gold ounces at La India and 70 ounces of payable gold ounces at Creston Mascota as well as 7,026 ounces of gold recovered at Hope Bay. For the year ended December 31, 2025, it excludes 4,539 payable gold ounces produced at La India and 323 payable gold ounces produced at Creston Mascota as well as 9,468 ounces of gold recovered at Hope Bay.(iii) 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 year ended December 31, 2025, it excludes 2,500 payable gold ounces sold at La India. AGNICO EAGLE MINES LIMITEDCONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS(thousands of United States dollars, except share amounts)

AGNICO EAGLE ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH GOLDSKY RESOURCES CORP. RELATING TO THE BARSELE PROJECTJanuary 28, 2026 12:51 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Stock Symbol:                                                     AEM (NYSE and TSX)TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2026 /CNW/ - Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE: AEM) (TSX: AEM) ("Agnico Eagle") announced today that Agnico Sweden AB ("Agnico Sweden"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle, and Goldsky Resources Corp. ("Goldsky") have entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Goldsky agreed to purchase the 55% of Gunnarn Mining AB that it did not already own from Agnico Sweden in exchange for cash consideration of US$20,000,000, the issuance of 75,509,577 common shares ("Common Shares") of Goldsky, and the grant of a 2% net smelter return royalty to Agnico Sweden on the Barsele project (the "Transaction"). The Common Shares to be issued by Goldsky were ascribed a value of C$2.64 per Common Share, being the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares for the 20-day period prior to entering into the Agreement. Closing of the Transaction is expected to occur on or prior to June 30, 2026 and is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the shareholders of Goldsky.The Transaction reflects the Company's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts. Over the last 10 years, Agnico Sweden's exploration program at the Barsele project was successful at expanding its mineral resources. As additional exploration work and studies are required to advance the project toward development, the Company believes the Barsele project will benefit from being Goldsky's primary focus, while it retains exposure to future upside. Divesting its direct interest in the Barsele project aligns with the Company's prioritization of its high-quality internal project pipeline, which is expected to drive the next phase of growth.Prior to execution of the Agreement, Agnico Eagle owned 7,353,291 Common Shares, representing approximately 4.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. Following execution of the Agreement, Agnico Eagle beneficially owned 82,862,868 Common Shares, representing approximately 32.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.Agnico Eagle and Goldsky are party to an investor rights agreement dated July 31, 2024. On closing of the Transaction, Agnico Eagle and Goldsky will enter into an amended and restated investor rights agreement, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will be entitled to certain rights (subject to maintaining certain ownership thresholds), including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings and top-up its holdings in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership interest in Goldsky at the time of such financing or acquire up to a 19.99% ownership interest in Goldsky; (b) the right (which Agnico Eagle has no present intention of exercising) to nominate between one and three individuals (and in the case of an increase in the size of the board of directors of Goldsky to ten or more directors, between two and four individuals) to the board of directors of Goldsky; and (c) demand registration and piggy-back registration rights in respect of the potential sale of Common Shares by Agnico Eagle.Agnico Eagle, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Agnico Sweden, is acquiring the Common Shares as partial consideration in connection with the Transaction. Depending on market conditions, strategic priorities and other factors, Agnico Eagle may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Shares or other securities of Goldsky or dispose of some or all of the Common Shares or other securities of Goldsky that it owns at such time.An early warning report will be filed by Agnico Eagle in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Gold Bounces Back After Six-Day Slump, Eyes Fed Comments

Gold prices rebounded on Monday after six consecutive sessions of losses, driven by a pause in the U.S. dollar’s rally.
The spot price is trading at $2,604.71 per ounce, up $41.46 and moving away from a two-month low hit on Thursday.
Silver is trading at $30.92, up 65 cents.
This rebound comes after gold experienced its biggest weekly decline in over three years due to expectations of
less aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

Investors are now awaiting comments from Federal Reserve officials for clarity on the interest rate trajectory.
The recent U.S. economic data has reduced expectations for a December rate cut by the Fed, with at least
seven U.S. central bank officials scheduled to speak this week.
Analysts suggest that while the short to medium-term outlook for gold may be negatively impacted by a
strengthening U.S. dollar, the long-term inflationary effects of President Trump’s policies could benefit gold prices.

Great PR for AEM - using fully automated ore haulage technology to replace diesel trucks and cutting CO2 emissions/ energy consumption:

Agnico Eagle achieves significant carbon emissions reduction with Railveyor system
Jane BenthamThursday, 05 September 2024 10:00
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) revealed its findings on the efficiency and environmental impact of the Railveyor system implemented at its Goldex Mining Complex.

Agnico Eagle achieves significant carbon emissions reduction with Railveyor system

The whitepaper, published by Railveyor and Agnico Eagle, details the system’s influence on reducing operational costs, enhancing safety, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Located in Val-d’Or, Quebec, the Goldex mine, an underground gold operation, faced logistical challenges due to its deeper zones and low-grade ore. To address these, AEM integrated the Railveyor system into its operations in 2017, replacing traditional diesel truck haulage with this advanced all-electric solution. The results have been transformative.

According to AEM’s internal studies, the Railveyor system has achieved up to a 39% reduction in mine-wide emissions compared to diesel trucks, a significant step towards the company’s commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050. The system’s energy efficiency was also validated by a study from NRCan-CanmetMINING, confirming that the Railveyor operates within 6% of its expected energy usage. With its low operational costs – reducing OPEX by as much as 75% compared to truck haulage – Railveyor has proven itself as a cost-effective, sustainable alternative for material transport in mining.

Christian Lessard, Maintenance Superintendent at Goldex, emphasised the system’s success: “Goldex Railveyor has been optimised since 2017, resulting in strong production in recent years. The system integrates the latest technologies like LTE networks and AI, operating in line with theoretical energy consumption models. The stability and predictability of electrical energy costs, as opposed to fossil fuels, further contribute to the overall benefits.”

Tas Mohamed, interim CEO of Railveyor, commented on the achievement: “The success of the Railveyor at Goldex highlights the importance of collaboration between our team and AEM. This partnership has demonstrated that Railveyor is not just a viable alternative to traditional methods but a superior one in terms of safety, cost, and environmental impact.”

Adding to this, Charles Gillies, Chairman of Railveyor and Managing Director at Resource Capital Funds (RCF), a global critical minerals and mining alternatives investment firm, said: “We are proud to have supported Railveyor within RCF Innovation II in bringing this innovative technology to market. The positive impact at Goldex underscores the value of investing in sustainable and transformative mining solutions that can help enable the energy transition and meet the mining industry’s challenges today and in the future.”

As the mining industry continues to push towards sustainability, the success of the Railveyor system at Goldex serves as a benchmark for other operations. With its ability to reduce emissions, increase safety, and lower costs, Railveyor is setting new standards in mining.

Don't get any better than this.

"We had a very strong close to 2023, with our fourth quarter results driving a record year in terms of safety, operating and financial performance. We achieved the top end of our gold production guidance range and the mid-point of our cost guidance ranges despite inflationary pressures throughout the year," said Ammar Al-Joundi, Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are extremely pleased with the results that our teams have accomplished with their hard work this year and we have much to look forward to. We are reporting record mineral reserves and a stable production profile at industry leading costs, anchored by the two largest gold operations in Canada, the Detour Lake mine and the Canadian Malartic complex. We continue to advance studies on optimizing our Abitibi platform and we expect to provide additional updates in the first half of 2024. Our track record of executing and delivering results demonstrates the strength of our business and we are well positioned to create long-term value and generate strong returns," added Mr. Al-Joundi.

Fourth quarter and full year 2023 highlights:

Record quarterly gold production – Payable gold production1 in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 903,208 ounces at production costs per ounce of $861, total cash costs per ounce2 of $888 and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce3 of $1,227. Gold production in the fourth quarter of 2023 was led by strong production at the Detour Lake mine, the LaRonde complex and the Macassa mine, offsetting lower production at the Fosterville mine
Record quarterly cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow – The Company reported a quarterly net loss of $381.0 million or $0.77 per share and adjusted net income4 of $282.3 million or $0.57 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023. Included in the quarterly net loss are impairment charges totaling $667 million (net of tax) or $1.35 per share relating to the Macassa and Pinos Altos mines. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.47 per share ($1.57 per share before working capital adjustments5) and free cash flow5 was $0.61 per share ($0.71 per share before working capital adjustments5)
Record annual safety performance, annual gold production and free cash flow driven by solid operational performance – Payable gold production in 2023 was 3,439,654 ounces at production costs per ounce of $853, total cash costs per ounce of $865 and AISC per ounce of $1,179. Production for 2023 was at the very top end of the Company's 2023 guidance range of 3.24 million ounces to 3.44 million ounces. Total cash costs per ounce were at the midpoint of the Company's 2023 guidance and AISC per ounce were in the range of the Company's 2023 guidance. Free cash flow for the full year 2023 was $947.4 million ($1,093.8 million before changes in non-cash components of working capital)
Record gold mineral reserves driven by declaration of initial mineral reserves at East Gouldie – Year-end 2023 gold mineral reserves increased by 10.5% to 53.8 million ounces of gold (1,287 million tonnes grading 1.30 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold). The year-over-year increase in mineral reserves is largely due to the declaration of initial mineral reserves at East Gouldie, the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex and net mineral reserve additions at Macassa. At year-end 2023, measured and indicated mineral resources were 44.0 million ounces (1,189 million tonnes grading 1.15 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources were 33.1 million ounces (411 million tonnes grading 2.50 g/t gold), including initial underground inferred mineral resources at Detour Lake. For further details, see the Company's exploration news release dated February 15, 2024
Stable three-year production outlook – Payable gold production is forecast to be approximately 3.35 to 3.55 million ounces in 2024 and approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces in 2025 (unchanged from prior three-year guidance issued on February 16, 2023 ("Previous Guidance")). Payable gold production is forecast to remain stable in 2026 at an expected range of approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces
Unit costs reflect easing rate of inflation – Total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce in 2024 are forecast to be $875 to $925 and $1,200 to $1,250, respectively. The midpoints of these ranges each represent an approximate 4% increase when compared to the full year 2023 total cash costs per ounce of $865 and AISC per ounce of $1,179. The expected cost increases in 2024 are mostly related to labour, spare parts and maintenance
Capital expenditures forecast to be approximately $1.65 billion in 2024 – Capital expenditures in 2024 (excluding capitalized exploration) are expected to increase relative to Previous Guidance of $1.40 to 1.60 billion. The expected increase in 2024 is mostly attributable to 100% ownership of Canadian Malartic for the full year, inflation and additional capital expenditures at Detour Lake
Strategic optimization initiatives improve Canadian production base, with further clarity on the medium term potential to be provided through 2024 – Key developments in 2023 included the declaration of commercial production at Canadian Malartic's Odyssey South deposit, a 12% increase in mill throughput at Detour Lake year-over-year and development of the Near Surface ("NSUR") and Amalgamated Kirkland ("AK") deposits at Macassa. The Company expects to provide updates on additional opportunities that are being evaluated in the Abitibi region in the first half of 2024
Odyssey mine at the Canadian Malartic complex – The planned mining rate of 3,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") at Odyssey South was reached earlier than anticipated and sustained through the fourth quarter of 2023. Ramp development has also exceeded target, reaching a depth of 715 metres as at December 31, 2023. The Company is evaluating the potential to accelerate initial production from East Gouldie to 2026 from 2027. Surface construction is progressing as planned, with approximately 65% completed at year-end, and shaft sinking activities continued to ramp up through the quarter. Infill and expansion drilling in 2023 resulted in the declaration of an initial mineral reserve in the central portion of the East Gouldie deposit of 5.17 million ounces of gold (47.0 million tonnes grading 3.42 g/t gold) and the extension of the East Gouldie mineral resource laterally by 870 metres
Detour Lake – The mill delivered a strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2023, operating at a throughput rate of 71,826 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 26.2 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"). With sustained improvements year-over-year, the Company now expects the mill to reach a throughput rate of approximately 76,700 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 28 Mtpa) late in the second half of 2024, previously expected in 2025. At year-end 2023, the Company reported an initial underground inferred mineral resource below and to the west of the existing pit, totaling 1.56 million ounces of gold (21.8 million tonnes grading 2.23 g/t gold) and continues to evaluate the potential for underground mining. Exploration in 2024 is expected to continue to test the west plunge extension of the main deposit. An exploration ramp is also being considered to facilitate drilling that would increase confidence in the continuity of the inferred mineral resource and, potentially, to collect a bulk sample. The Company expects to provide an update on mill optimization efforts, the Detour underground project and ongoing exploration results in the first half of 2024
Abitibi region of Quebec and Ontario – Macassa's NSUR and AK deposits have now been incorporated in the Company's production guidance. At Upper Beaver, the Company is conducting a trade-off analysis comparing transporting and processing ore at the LaRonde mill to a standalone central mill for Upper Beaver and satellite deposits. An exploration ramp and shaft are being considered at Upper Beaver in order to upgrade and further explore the deeper portions of the deposit. At Wasamac, the Company is assessing hauling alternatives and the optimal mining rate for transporting and processing ore at the Canadian Malartic mill. The Company expects to complete internal technical evaluations for Upper Beaver and Wasamac in the first half of 2024
Amaruq mine at the Meadowbank complex – The Company extended Amaruq's mine life to 2028 (previous mine life was to 2026), adding approximately 500,000 ounces of gold to the expected mining profile, as a result of continuous improvement and cost optimization efforts, positive infill drilling and positive reconciliation to the geological model
Hope Bay – At the Madrid deposit, the target area in the gap between the Suluk and Patch 7 zones delivered strong drill results in the quarter, including 16.3 g/t gold over 28.6 metres at 385 metres depth and 12.7 g/t gold over 4.6 metres at 677 metres depth. Results confirm the potential to expand gold mineralization in the Madrid deposit at depth and along strike to the south. Based on recent exploration success, the Company is evaluating a larger potential production scenario for Hope Bay. The Company expects to report results from this internal technical evaluation in 2025
A quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share has been declared
