Notes to Traders Concerning the Use of Mineral Assets

The mineral reserve and mineral useful resource estimates contained on this information launch have been ready in accordance with the Canadian securities directors’ (the “CSA”) Nationwide Instrument 43-101 – Requirements of Disclosure for Mineral Tasks (“NI 43-101”).

The SEC’s disclosure necessities and insurance policies for mining properties now extra intently align with present trade and international regulatory practices and requirements, together with NI 43-101; nonetheless Canadian issuers that report in the USA utilizing the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (“MJDS”), such because the Firm, should use NI 43-101 quite than the SEC disclosure necessities when utilizing the SEC’s MJDS registration assertion and annual report types. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral useful resource data contained on this information launch is probably not similar to comparable data disclosed by U.S. firms.

Traders are cautioned that whereas the SEC acknowledges “measured mineral sources”, “indicated mineral sources” and “inferred mineral sources”, traders shouldn’t assume that any half or all the mineral deposits in these classes will ever be transformed into the next class of mineral sources or into mineral reserves. These phrases have a large amount of uncertainty as to their financial and authorized feasibility. Accordingly, traders are cautioned to not assume that any “measured mineral sources”, “indicated mineral sources” or “inferred mineral sources” that the Firm stories on this information launch are or shall be economically or legally mineable. Underneath Canadian laws, estimates of inferred mineral sources could not kind the idea of feasibility or pre-feasibility research, besides in restricted circumstances.

Additional, “inferred mineral sources” have a large amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their financial and authorized feasibility. It can’t be assumed that any half or all of an inferred mineral useful resource will ever be upgraded to the next class.

The mineral reserve and mineral useful resource knowledge set out on this information launch are estimates, and no assurance could be on condition that the anticipated tonnages and grades shall be achieved or that the indicated degree of restoration shall be realized. The Firm doesn’t embody equal gold ounces for by-product metals contained in mineral reserves in its calculation of contained ounces. Mineral reserves are usually not reported as a subset of mineral sources.

Scientific and Technical Info

The scientific and technical data contained on this information launch referring to exploration actions has been permitted by Man Gosselin, Eng. and P.Geo., Govt Vice-President, Exploration and Olivier Grondin , P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration; and referring to mineral reserves and mineral sources has been permitted by Dyane Duquette , P.Geo., Vice-President, Mineral Assets Administration, every of whom is a “Certified Individual” for the needs of NI 43-101.

Detailed Mineral Reserve and Mineral Useful resource Knowledge

The assumptions for metallic costs and forex alternate charges used for the December 31, 2024 mineral reserve and mineral useful resource estimates reported by the Firm are offered within the “Gold Mineral Assets” part earlier on this information launch.

Mineral reserves reported are usually not included in mineral sources. Tonnage quantities and contained metallic quantities set out on this desk have been rounded to the closest thousand, so could not combination to equal column totals. Mineral reserves are in-situ, considering all mining recoveries, earlier than mill or heap leach recoveries. Underground mineral reserves and measured and indicated mineral sources are reported inside mineable shapes and embody inner and exterior dilution. Inferred mineral sources are reported inside mineable shapes and embody inner dilution. Mineable form optimization parameters could differ for mineral reserves and mineral sources.

The mineral reserves and mineral sources tonnages reported for silver, copper and zinc are a subset of the mineral reserves and mineral sources tonnages for gold. The Firm’s financial parameters set the utmost worth allowed to be not more than the lesser of the three‐yr shifting common and present spot worth, which is a typical trade commonplace. Given the present commodity worth atmosphere, Agnico Eagle continues to make use of extra conservative gold and silver costs.

NI 43-101 requires mining firms to reveal mineral reserves and mineral sources utilizing the subcategories of “confirmed mineral reserves”, “possible mineral reserves”, “measured mineral sources”, “indicated mineral sources” and “inferred mineral sources”. Mineral sources that aren’t mineral reserves do not need demonstrated financial viability.

A mineral reserve is the economically mineable a part of a measured and/or indicated mineral useful resource. It contains diluting supplies and allowances for losses, which can happen when the fabric is mined or extracted and is outlined by research at prefeasibility or feasibility degree as applicable that embody software of modifying components. Such research reveal that, on the time of reporting, extraction might fairly be justified. The mineral reserves offered on this information launch are separate from and never a portion of the mineral sources.

Modifying components are issues used to transform mineral sources to mineral reserves. These embody, however are usually not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, financial, advertising, authorized, environmental, social and governmental components.

A confirmed mineral reserve is the economically mineable a part of a measured mineral useful resource. A confirmed mineral reserve implies a excessive diploma of confidence within the modifying components. A possible mineral reserve is the economically mineable a part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral useful resource. The arrogance within the modifying components utilized to a possible mineral reserve is decrease than that utilized to a confirmed mineral reserve.

A mineral useful resource is a focus or prevalence of strong materials of financial curiosity in or on the Earth’s crust in such kind, grade or high quality and amount that there are affordable prospects for eventual financial extraction. The placement, amount, grade or high quality, continuity and different geological traits of a mineral useful resource are recognized, estimated or interpreted from particular geological proof and data, together with sampling.

A measured mineral useful resource is that a part of a mineral useful resource for which amount, grade or high quality, densities, form and bodily traits are estimated with confidence enough to permit the applying of modifying components to assist detailed mine planning and remaining analysis of the financial viability of the deposit. Geological proof is derived from detailed and dependable exploration, sampling and testing and is enough to verify geological and grade or high quality continuity between factors of statement. An indicated mineral useful resource is that a part of a mineral useful resource for which amount, grade or high quality, densities, form and bodily traits are estimated with enough confidence to permit the applying of modifying components in enough element to assist mine planning and analysis of the financial viability of the deposit. Geological proof is derived from adequately detailed and dependable exploration, sampling and testing and is enough to imagine geological and grade or high quality continuity between factors of statement. An inferred mineral useful resource is that a part of a mineral useful resource for which amount and grade or high quality are estimated on the idea of restricted geological proof and sampling. Geological proof is enough to indicate however not confirm geological and grade or high quality continuity.

Traders are cautioned to not assume that half or all of an inferred mineral useful resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

A feasibility examine is a complete technical and financial examine of the chosen improvement possibility for a mineral challenge that features appropriately detailed assessments of relevant modifying components, along with another related operational components and detailed monetary evaluation which can be essential to reveal, on the time of reporting, that extraction is fairly justified (economically mineable). The outcomes of the examine could fairly function the idea for a remaining choice by a proponent or monetary establishment to proceed with, or finance, the event of the challenge. The arrogance degree of the examine shall be greater than that of a pre-feasibility examine.
