Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd.

Agnico-Eagle is an international growth company focused on gold, with operations in Canada and Finland and advanced-stage projects and opportunities in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. Our LaRonde mine in Quebec is Canada’s largest gold deposit in terms of reserves. The mine generates strong earnings and cash flows, and is an excellent foundation for Agnico-Eagle’s international expansion.

Production
The company’s operating history includes more than 30 years of continuous gold production primarily from underground operations. Since its amalgamation in 1972, Agnico-Eagle has produced over 4.0 million ounces of gold. We are one of the lowest total cash cost producers in the North American gold mining industry.

Agnico-Eagle has traditionally sold all of its production at the spot price of gold, in keeping with a policy of not selling forward future gold production. This policy enables shareholders to participate fully in rising precious metal prices.

Strategy
Our strategy is to build a multi-mine platform based upon our strong foundation in the Abitibi region of Quebec. We have created a dominant land position around the LaRonde mine, with numerous properties at different stages of development, running along Quebec’s gold-rich Cadillac-Bousquet belt. This foundation has long life gold reserves and generates good earnings and cash flows, enabling Agnico-Eagle to broaden its base within Canada and internationally.

Gold production began in April 2008 at our Goldex mine near LaRonde. In Finland, construction of the Kittila gold mine commenced in the summer of 2006, with initial production started in September 2008. In addition, shaft sinking is complete and level development underway at the nearby Lapa deposit with gold production expected mid-year 2009. The Meadowbank project in the Nunavut Territory in northern Canada is advancing towards initial gold production in 2010. Initial gold and silver production at our Pinos Altos project in Mexico expected in third quarter 2009.

Agnico-Eagle is proud to have paid a cash dividend to its shareholders for 27 consecutive years.
