Agnico Eagle sees FY23 payable gold production 3.24M-3.44M ounces

Annual payable gold production is forecast to grow from 3.28 million ounces in 2022 (full-year basis) to an expected range of approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces in 2025. Payable gold production for 2023 is forecast to be approximately 3.24 to 3.44 million ounces (substantially unchanged from prior three-year guidance issued on February 23, 2022 ("Previous Guidance")). The Company’s 2023 production and costs guidance assumes 50% ownership of Canadian Malartic for the first three months of 2023 and 100% ownership for the last nine months of the year. The addition of nine months of 100% production from Canadian Malartic and improvements in Amaruq’s production profile compared to Previous Guidance are offset by revisions to the mine plans at LaRonde, Fosterville, Kittila and Pinos Altos. Payable gold production is expected to increase to approximately 3.35 to 3.55 million ounces in 2024 and 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces in 2025. There is potential to add between 30,000 to 80,000 ounces of annual gold production starting in 2023, subject to the resolution of permits and noise restrictions at Kittila and Fosterville, respectively.
