Agnico Eagle's Mines Performing Strongly but Shares Are Overvalued

Agnico Eagle is the world’s third-largest gold miner by production, operating mines in Canada, Mexico, Finland, and Australia, reflecting the company’s focus on lower-risk jurisdictions.

These mines accounted for around 60% of the company’s production of 3.4 million ounces of gold in 2023, with the company also producing minor amounts of copper, zinc, and silver. Agnico Eagle had about 15 years of gold reserves at end 2023.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Agnico Eagle has around 15 years of reserves at end December 2023, with various opportunities to incrementally increase gold production in coming years.

Bears

The company’s production sits within the second quartile of the gold cost curve, meaning it is more leveraged to changes in the gold price than its lower-cost competitors.

Company Profile

Agnico Eagle is a gold miner with mines in Canada, Mexico, Finland, and Australia. Agnico operated just one mine, LaRonde, as recently as 2008 before bringing its other mines online in rapid succession in the following years. It merged with Kirkland Lake Gold in 2022, acquiring the Detour Lake and Macassa mines in Canada along with the high-grade, low-cost Fosterville mine in Australia. It produced more than 3.4 million gold ounces in 2023 and had about 15 years of gold reserves at end 2023. Agnico Eagle is focused on increasing gold production in lower-risk jurisdictions and bought the remaining 50% of its Canadian Malartic mine along with the Wasamac project and other assets from Yamana Gold in 2023.
