OUR STRATEGY

Build a growing, high-quality, low risk, sustainable business

Deliver on performance and growth expectations: Ensure our existing portfolio delivers on expectations, lowers operational risk and generates free cash flow.

Build and maintain a high-quality project pipeline: Ensure we develop a best-in-class project pipeline to replenish mineral reserves and production, while maintaining the quality, manageability and fit of our future portfolio.

Develop our people: Develop and provide growth opportunities for our people, and provide the skills infrastructure to support development of our operations and projects.

Operate in a socially responsible manner: Create value for our shareholders while operating in a safe, and socially and environmentally responsible manner, as we contribute to the prosperity of our people, their families and the communities in which we operate.

Agnico Eagle’s mission is to build a high-quality, easy to understand business — one that generates superior long-term returns for our shareholders, creates a great place to work for our employees and contributes positively to the communities in which we operate.
