What Agnico Eagle Mines does

One of the world's largest gold miners, operating mines mainly in Canada plus Mexico, Finland and Australia.

Sells gold at the market price, so profit is the gap between the gold price and its cost of mining it, with silver, zinc and copper as smaller by-products. Growth has come through mergers: Kirkland Lake in 2022, which brought Detour Lake and Fosterville, and the 2023 purchase, with Yamana, of Canadian Malartic.
