  Stock Symbol:  AEM (NYSE and TSX)  

 

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) (TSX:AEM) ("Agnico Eagle" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023, as well as future operating guidance.

 

"We had a very strong close to 2023, with our fourth quarter results driving a record year in terms of safety, operating and financial performance. We achieved the top end of our gold production guidance range and the mid-point of our cost guidance ranges despite inflationary pressures throughout the year," said Ammar Al-Joundi , Agnico Eagle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are extremely pleased with the results that our teams have accomplished with their hard work this year and we have much to look forward to. We are reporting record mineral reserves and a stable production profile at industry leading costs, anchored by the two largest gold operations in Canada , the Detour Lake mine and the Canadian Malartic complex. We continue to advance studies on optimizing our Abitibi platform and we expect to provide additional updates in the first half of 2024. Our track record of executing and delivering results demonstrates the strength of our business and we are well positioned to create long-term value and generate strong returns," added Mr. Al-Joundi.

 

  Fourth quarter and full year 2023 highlights:  

 
  •   Record quarterly gold production – Payable gold production 1 in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 903,208 ounces at production costs per ounce of $861 , total cash costs per ounce 2 of $888 and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce 3 of $1,227 . Gold production in the fourth quarter of 2023 was led by strong production at the Detour Lake mine, the LaRonde complex and the Macassa mine, offsetting lower production at the Fosterville mine
  •  
  •   Record quarterly cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow – The Company reported a quarterly net loss of $381.0 million or $0.77 per share and adjusted net income 4 of $282.3 million or $0.57 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023. Included in the quarterly net loss are impairment charges totaling $667 million (net of tax) or $1.35 per share relating to the Macassa and Pinos Altos mines. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.47 per share ( $1.57 per share before working capital adjustments 5 ) and free cash flow 5 was $0.61 per share ( $0.71 per share before working capital adjustments 5 )
  •  
  •   Record annual safety performance, annual gold production and free cash flow driven by solid operational performance – Payable gold production in 2023 was 3,439,654 ounces at production costs per ounce of $853 , total cash costs per ounce of $865 and AISC per ounce of $1,179 . Production for 2023 was at the very top end of the Company's 2023 guidance range of 3.24 million ounces to 3.44 million ounces. Total cash costs per ounce were at the midpoint of the Company's 2023 guidance and AISC per ounce were in the range of the Company's 2023 guidance. Free cash flow for the full year 2023 was $947.4 million ( $1,093.8 million before changes in non-cash components of working capital)
  •  
  •   Record gold mineral reserves driven by declaration of initial mineral reserves at East Gouldie – Year-end 2023 gold mineral reserves increased by 10.5% to 53.8 million ounces of gold (1,287 million tonnes grading 1.30 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold). The year-over-year increase in mineral reserves is largely due to the declaration of initial mineral reserves at East Gouldie, the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex and net mineral reserve additions at Macassa. At year-end 2023, measured and indicated mineral resources were 44.0 million ounces (1,189 million tonnes grading 1.15 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources were 33.1 million ounces (411 million tonnes grading 2.50 g/t gold), including initial underground inferred mineral resources at Detour Lake. For further details, see the Company's exploration news release dated February 15, 2024  
  •  
  •   Stable three-year production outlook – Payable gold production is forecast to be approximately 3.35 to 3.55 million ounces in 2024 and approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces in 2025 (unchanged from prior three-year guidance issued on February 16, 2023 ("Previous Guidance")). Payable gold production is forecast to remain stable in 2026 at an expected range of approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces
  •  
  •   Unit costs reflect easing rate of inflation – Total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce in 2024 are forecast to be $875 to $925 and $1,200 to $1,250 , respectively. The midpoints of these ranges each represent an approximate 4% increase when compared to the full year 2023 total cash costs per ounce of $865 and AISC per ounce of $1,179 . The expected cost increases in 2024 are mostly related to labour, spare parts and maintenance
  •  
  •   Capital expenditures forecast to be approximately $1.65 billion in 2024 – Capital expenditures in 2024 (excluding capitalized exploration) are expected to increase relative to Previous Guidance of $1.40 to 1.60 billion. The expected increase in 2024 is mostly attributable to 100% ownership of Canadian Malartic for the full year, inflation and additional capital expenditures at Detour Lake
  •  
  •   Strategic optimization initiatives improve Canadian production base, with further clarity on the medium term potential to be provided through 2024 – Key developments in 2023 included the declaration of commercial production at Canadian Malartic's Odyssey South deposit, a 12% increase in mill throughput at Detour Lake year-over-year and development of the Near Surface ("NSUR") and Amalgamated Kirkland ("AK") deposits at Macassa. The Company expects to provide updates on additional opportunities that are being evaluated in the Abitibi region in the first half of 2024
    •   Odyssey mine at the Canadian Malartic complex – The planned mining rate of 3,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") at Odyssey South was reached earlier than anticipated and sustained through the fourth quarter of 2023. Ramp development has also exceeded target, reaching a depth of 715 metres as at December 31, 2023 . The Company is evaluating the potential to accelerate initial production from East Gouldie to 2026 from 2027. Surface construction is progressing as planned, with approximately 65% completed at year-end, and shaft sinking activities continued to ramp up through the quarter. Infill and expansion drilling in 2023 resulted in the declaration of an initial mineral reserve in the central portion of the East Gouldie deposit of 5.17 million ounces of gold (47.0 million tonnes grading 3.42 g/t gold) and the extension of the East Gouldie mineral resource laterally by 870 metres
    •  
    •   Detour Lake – The mill delivered a strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2023, operating at a throughput rate of 71,826 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 26.2 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa"). With sustained improvements year-over-year, the Company now expects the mill to reach a throughput rate of approximately 76,700 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 28 Mtpa) late in the second half of 2024, previously expected in 2025. At year-end 2023, the Company reported an initial underground inferred mineral resource below and to the west of the existing pit, totaling 1.56 million ounces of gold (21.8 million tonnes grading 2.23 g/t gold) and continues to evaluate the potential for underground mining. Exploration in 2024 is expected to continue to test the west plunge extension of the main deposit. An exploration ramp is also being considered to facilitate drilling that would increase confidence in the continuity of the inferred mineral resource and, potentially, to collect a bulk sample. The Company expects to provide an update on mill optimization efforts, the Detour underground project and ongoing exploration results in the first half of 2024
    •  
    •   Abitibi region of Quebec and Ontario   – Macassa's NSUR and AK deposits have now been incorporated in the Company's production guidance. At Upper Beaver, the Company is conducting a trade-off analysis comparing transporting and processing ore at the LaRonde mill to a standalone central mill for Upper Beaver and satellite deposits. An exploration ramp and shaft are being considered at Upper Beaver in order to upgrade and further explore the deeper portions of the deposit. At Wasamac, the Company is assessing hauling alternatives and the optimal mining rate for transporting and processing ore at the Canadian Malartic mill. The Company expects to complete internal technical evaluations for Upper Beaver and Wasamac in the first half of 2024
    •  
    •   Amaruq mine at the Meadowbank complex – The Company extended Amaruq's mine life to 2028 (previous mine life was to 2026), adding approximately 500,000 ounces of gold to the expected mining profile, as a result of continuous improvement and cost optimization efforts, positive infill drilling and positive reconciliation to the geological model
    •  
    •   Hope Bay – At the Madrid deposit, the target area in the gap between the Suluk and Patch 7 zones delivered strong drill results in the quarter, including 16.3 g/t gold over 28.6 metres at 385 metres depth and 12.7 g/t gold over 4.6 metres at 677 metres depth. Results confirm the potential to expand gold mineralization in the Madrid deposit at depth and along strike to the south. Based on recent exploration success, the Company is evaluating a larger potential production scenario for Hope Bay. The Company expects to report results from this internal technical evaluation in 2025
    •  
  •  
  •   A quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share has been declared

  * Production and Cost Results Summary reflect: (i) Agnico Eagle's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% thereafter; and (ii) Agnico Eagle's acquisition of the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines on February 8, 2022.  

 
 
 

  Gold Production  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Gold production increased when compared to the prior year primarily due to additional production from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex following the closing of the transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. (the "Yamana Transaction") and higher production from the Macassa and Kittila mines, partially offset by lower production at the Fosterville mine
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Gold production increased when compared to the prior year as a result of the additional production from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex, a full year of contribution in 2023 from the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines (as compared to 326 days during the year-ended 2022 following the closing of the merger (the "Merger") with Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. on February 8, 2022 ) and increased production from the Meadowbank complex, partially offset by lower production at the Fosterville mine and LaRonde complex
  •  

  Production Costs per Ounce  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 and Full Year 2023 – Production costs per ounce increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher production costs at most mine sites resulting from inflation, particularly at the Meliadine mine, where there was also higher consumption of ore stockpiles combined with lower gold production, and at the Canadian Malartic complex, where there were higher open pit mining costs combined with lower gold production
  •  

  Total Cash Costs per Ounce  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 and Full Year 2023 – Total cash costs per ounce increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher operating costs at most mine sites resulting from inflation and higher royalties arising from higher gold prices and the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex, partially offset by higher production
  •  

  AISC per Ounce  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – AISC per ounce decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to higher production during the period and lower sustaining capital expenditures during the period, partially offset by higher total cash costs per ounce
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – AISC per ounce increased when compared to the prior year due to the same reasons affecting the higher total cash costs per ounce in the period and higher sustaining capital expenditures, partially offset by higher production during the period

  Net Income  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023
    • Net loss was $381.0 million ( $0.77 per share). This result includes the following items (net of tax): impairment losses of $667.4 million ( $1.35 per share), derivative gains on financial instruments of $50.7 million ( $0.10 per share), non-recurring tax adjustment and change in tax rate and foreign currency translation losses on deferred tax liabilities of $26.4 million ( $0.05 per share), net asset disposals losses of $16.2 million ( $0.03 per share) and foreign exchange and other losses of $4.0 million ( $0.01 per share)
    •  
    • Excluding the above items results in adjusted net income of $282.3 million or $0.57 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023
    •  
    • Included in the fourth quarter of 2023 net loss, and not adjusted above, is a non-cash stock option expense of $2.4 million ( $0.01 per share)
    •  
    • Net loss of $381.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $194.1 million in the prior-year period primarily due to impairment losses and higher amortization related to the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex, partially offset by stronger mine operating margins 8 from higher realized gold prices and higher sales volumes resulting from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex, and lower exploration and corporate development costs
    •  
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Net income increased compared to the prior year primarily due to a remeasurement gain at the Canadian Malartic complex resulting from the application of purchase accounting relating to a business combination attained in stages, which requires the remeasurement of the Company's previously held 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex to fair value, higher realized gold prices and higher sales volumes, partially offset by impairment losses and higher amortization

  Impairments  

 

In the fourth quarter of 2023, an impairment loss (net of tax) of $667 million was incurred in connection with the impairment review performed in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), of which $594 million related to the Macassa mine and $73 million related to the Pinos Altos mine. Since acquiring the Macassa mine as a result of the Merger, the Company has taken steps to improve the operational performance of the mine. The Macassa mine realized better operating performance and productivity in 2023 as compared to the pre-Merger period, driven in part, by the completion of the #4 Shaft project that increased the ore hoisting capacity to approximately 4,000 tpd and improvements to the ventilation in the deeper portion of the mine. Despite these improvements, an impairment loss (net of tax) of $594 million was realized in the quarter, with $421 million of the loss relating to goodwill and $173 million relating to non-current assets of the Macassa mine.

 

Goodwill relating to the Macassa mine was recognized at the date of the Merger as part of the purchase price allocation. Goodwill is not an amortizable asset under IFRS and as such, once recognized is susceptible to future impairment. Continued work on the mineral resource model has resulted in more ore tonnes but at lower grades which, coupled with inflationary pressures on costs and capital expenditures, resulted in a fair value that was lower than Macassa's carrying value as at December 31, 2023 . The Macassa mine has produced over 6 million ounces of gold since 1933, and the Company continues to see geological potential at Macassa as demonstrated by the mineral reserves replacement of 171% of its mining depletion in 2023 and encouraging drill results on the property. In addition, the mineralized structures along strike and at depth of the South Mine complex and Main Break are prospective for ongoing expansion of the mineral resource base at the site. Overall, the Company believes that the Macassa mine has the potential to maintain production in excess of 300,000 ounces of gold per year based on expected exploration results.

 

The Pinos Altos mine has been in operation since 2009 and is approaching the end of its mine life. An impairment loss (net of tax) of $73 million was realized in the quarter due to inflationary pressures on costs and the additional ground support required at the underground mine, and the strengthening of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar. Exploration is ongoing with the goal of discovering and expanding other satellite zones near the Pinos Altos mine.

 

  Adjusted EBITDA  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Adjusted EBITDA increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to stronger mine operating margins from higher realized gold prices and higher sales volumes resulting from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex and lower exploration and corporate development costs
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Adjusted EBITDA increased when compared to the prior year primarily due to the reasons set out above, and as a result of a full year of contribution in 2023 from the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines (as compared to 326 days during the year-ended 2022 following the closing of the Merger)

  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher revenues from higher sales volumes from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex and higher realized gold prices, partially offset by higher production costs
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments increased when compared to the prior year primarily due to higher revenues from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Canadian Malartic complex, higher sales volumes from a full year of contribution in 2023 from the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines (as compared to 326 days during the year-ended December 31, 2022 following the closing of the Merger) and from higher realized gold prices

  Investment Grade Balance Sheet Remains Strong  

 

As at December 31, 2023 , the Company's long-term debt was $1,843.1 million , a decrease of $99.5 million when compared to the prior quarter, reflecting a repayment of the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility. As at December 31, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased slightly when compared to the prior quarter primarily due to higher cash used in financing activities related to the repayment of the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility.

 

The following table sets out the calculation of net debt 10 , which decreased by $82.6 million when compared to the prior quarter.

In addition to the quarterly dividend, the Company believes that its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") provides a flexible tool as part the Company's overall capital allocation program and objectives and generates value for shareholders. In the fourth quarter of 2023, no purchases were made under the NCIB. In the full year 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 common shares for an aggregate of $4.8 million under the NCIB. The NCIB permits the Company to purchase up to $500.0 million of its common shares subject to a maximum of 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares. Purchases under the NCIB may continue for up to one year from the commencement day on May 4, 2023 .

  Credit Facility  

 

As at December 31, 2023 , available liquidity under the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility was approximately $1.2 billion , not including the uncommitted $600.0 million accordion feature.

 

On February 12, 2024 , the Company replaced its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving bank credit facility with a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving bank credit facility, including an increased uncommitted accordion feature of $1 billion , and having a maturity date of February 12, 2029 . In addition to the increased size and extended term of the new unsecured revolving bank credit facility, the new credit facility includes enhancements to its terms and conditions that reinforces the Company's credit profile and improves its financial flexibility while strengthening its financial position. At the same time, the Company's $600.0 million term loan was amended to reflect the same enhancements to the terms and conditions as are in the new unsecured revolving credit facility. The investment grade credit ratings issued by Moody's of Baa2 with a Positive Outlook and Fitch Ratings at BBB+ with a Stable Outlook reflect the Company's strong business and credit profile, while maintaining low leverage and conservative financial policies and recognizing the benefits of the Company's size and scale and operations in favourable mining jurisdictions. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong financial health and an investment grade balance sheet.

 

  Hedges  

 

The Company continues to benefit from a stronger U.S. dollar against the currencies in the jurisdictions in which it operates, the Canadian dollar, Euro, Australian dollar and Mexican peso. Approximately 67% of the Company's estimated Canadian dollar exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price above 1.34 C$ /US$. Approximately 24% of the Company's estimated Euro exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price of approximately 1.09 US$ /EUR. Approximately 63% of the Company's estimated Australian dollar exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average floor price of approximately 1.47 A$ /US$. The Company's full year 2024 cost guidance is based on assumed exchange rates of 1.34 C$ /US$, 1.10 US$ /EUR, 1.45 A$ /US$ and 16.50 MXP /US$.

 

Including the diesel purchased for the Company's Nunavut operations that was delivered in the 2023 sealift, approximately 50% of the Company's diesel exposure for 2024 is hedged at an average benchmark price of $0.72 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes), which is expected to reduce the Company's exposure to diesel price volatility in 2024. The Company's full year 2024 cost guidance is based on an assumed diesel benchmark price of $0.80 per litre (excluding transportation and taxes).

 

The Company will continue to monitor market conditions and anticipates continuing to opportunistically add to its operating currency and diesel hedges to strategically support its key input costs. Current hedging positions are not factored into 2024 and future guidance.

  Gold Mineral Reserves Increase 10.5% to Record 53.8 Moz at Year-End 2023  

 

At December 31, 2023 , the Company's proven and probable mineral reserve estimate totalled 53.8 million ounces of gold (1,287 million tonnes grading 1.30 g/t gold). This represents a 10.5% (5.1 million ounce) increase in contained ounces of gold compared to the proven and probable mineral reserve estimate of 48.7 million ounces of gold (1,186 million tonnes grading 1.28 g/t gold) at year-end 2022 (see the Company's news release dated February 16, 2023 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2022 proven and probable mineral reserve estimate).

 

The year-over-year increase in mineral reserves at December 31, 2023 is largely due to a substantial new mineral reserve addition of 5.2 million ounces of gold at the East Gouldie deposit at the Odyssey mine. The acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex as part of the Yamana Transaction also contributed to adding 1.5 million ounces of gold in mineral reserves.

 

Mineral reserves were calculated using a gold price of $1,400 per ounce for all operating assets except the Detour Lake open pit for which a gold price of $1,300 per ounce was used, and using variable assumptions for the pipeline projects (see "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2023 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below for more details).

 

  Gold Mineral Resources  

 

At December 31, 2023 , the Company's measured and indicated mineral resource estimate totalled 44.0 million ounces of gold (1,189 million tonnes grading 1.15 g/t gold). This represents a 0.6% (0.3 million ounce) decrease in contained ounces of gold compared to the measured and indicated mineral resource estimate at year-end 2022 (see the Company's news release dated February 16, 2023 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2022 measured and indicated mineral resource estimate).

 

The year-over-year decrease in measured and indicated mineral resources is primarily due to the upgrade of mineral resources at East Gouldie to mineral reserves, largely offset by the successful conversion of inferred mineral resources into measured and indicated mineral resources and the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex and the Wasamac project as a result of the Yamana Transaction.

 

At December 31, 2023 , the Company's inferred mineral resource estimate totalled 33.1 million ounces of gold (411 million tonnes grading 2.50 g/t gold). This represents a 26% (6.8 million ounce) increase in contained ounces of gold compared to the inferred mineral resource estimate a year earlier (see the Company's news release dated February 16, 2023 for details regarding the Company's December 31, 2022 inferred mineral resource estimate).

 

The year-over-year increase in inferred mineral resources is primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex and the Wasamac project as part of the Yamana Transaction as well as an initial underground inferred mineral resource at Detour Lake.

 

For detailed mineral reserves and mineral resources data, including the economic parameters used to estimate the mineral reserves and mineral resources, see "Detailed Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Data (as at December 31, 2023 )" and "Assumptions used for the December 31, 2023 mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported by the Company" below, as well as the Company's exploration news release dated February 15, 2024 .

 

  Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects  

 

Highlights on key value drivers (Odyssey project, Detour Lake mine and optimization of assets and infrastructure in the Abitibi region of Quebec ), the Hope Bay project and the San Nicolás project are set out below. Details on certain mine expansion projects (Macassa new ventilation system, Meliadine Phase 2 expansion and Amaruq underground) are set out in the applicable operational sections of this news release.

 

  Odyssey Project  

 

Successful infill drilling in 2023 at the Odyssey mine continued to improve the confidence in the mine plan and resulted in the declaration of initial mineral reserves of 5.2 million ounces of gold (47 million tonnes grading 3.42 g/t gold) in the central portion of the East Gouldie deposit as at December 31, 2023 . The aggressive exploration program in 2023 also continued to demonstrate geological upside potential, with expansion drilling resulting in the extension of the East Gouldie inferred mineral resource laterally to the west by approximately 870 metres. Recent drilling results demonstrate that the corridor remains open to the east with high potential to categorize a large area as inferred mineral resources by year-end 2024. Highlight intercepts include 6.2 g/t gold over 6.7 metres at 1,300 metres depth to the west and 6.7 g/t gold over 13.5 metres at 1,470 metres depth to the east of the deposit. In 2024, the Company will continue to test the east and west extensions of the East Gouldie deposit, with the objective of potentially adding a new mining front. For further details on the exploration results at Odyssey, see the Company's exploration news release dated February 15, 2024 .

 

At Odyssey South, the planned mining rate of 3,500 tpd was reached in October 2023 and sustained through the fourth quarter of 2023. Gold production from underground was approximately 20,000 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023, which is the expected quarterly production rate for 2024 to 2026. Stope reconciliation at Odyssey South remains positive, largely from the contribution of the internal zones. At year-end 2023, an additional 150,000 ounces of gold included in the mineral reserve estimate are attributed to the Odyssey South deposit and internal zones as the understanding of these two mineralized areas improves with ongoing drilling and mine development. The Company continues to advance the delineation drilling to help improve the predictability and modeling of these zones.

 

Underground development was ahead of plan in the fourth quarter of 2023. A record 1,236 metres of development was achieved in October 2023 , which is above with the target rate for 2024 of 1,200 metres per month. Scoops, jumbos and cable bolters are now consistently being operated remotely, which drives improvements in development cycle time and overall development productivity. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company expects to test remotely operated trucks and a battery operated scoop.

 

Advancing the main ramp remains the key development focus. The Company achieved a lateral development rate of 165 metres per month in 2023, exceeding the target rate of 140 metres per month. As at December 31, 2023 , the ramp was at a depth of 715 metres and the Company now expects to reach the first level of the top of the East Gouldie deposit at a depth of 750 metres in the first quarter of 2024. As a result, the Company is evaluating the potential to accelerate initial production from East Gouldie to 2026.

 

Shaft sinking activities continued to ramp-up through the fourth quarter of 2023. Equipment reliability issues were resolved, with the sinking rate improving to 1.5 metres per day in December 2023 and expected to be approximately at the target of 2.0 metres per day in the first quarter of 2024. As at December 31, 2023 , the shaft had reached a depth of approximately 233 metres. To help advance the shaft sinking, the Company has completed pre-sinking of the shaft from Levels 26 to 36 and is now advancing pre-sinking between Levels 54 to 64. The Company still expects to complete excavation of the shaft in 2027.

 

Surface construction progressed as planned and on budget in the fourth quarter of 2023 and approximately 65% of the project surface construction was completed as at December 31, 2023 . The service hoist is expected to be operational to a temporary loading station at Level 102 (1,050 metres below surface) by 2025. The paste backfill plant operated above design capacity of 4,000 tpd in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the conceptual engineering for the second phase of the paste plant has been initiated. In the second phase, which is expected to be completed in 2027, the paste backfill plant will be expanded to a capacity of approximately 20,000 tpd.

 

In regional exploration during the fourth quarter of 2023, drilling targeted the adjacent Camflo property to the north and potential mineralization analogous to the Odyssey South and Odyssey North deposits on the Rand Malartic property to the east. The Company believes that a long-term exploration strategy of surface and underground drilling on the recently consolidated lands at the Canadian Malartic complex has the potential to lead to significant discoveries.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the mill delivered its second best quarterly mill throughput, operating at a rate of 71,826 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 26.2 Mtpa), despite a lower than anticipated runtime of 90% related to an unplanned power outage and plugged cyclone feed pump lines. Several initiatives aimed at enhancing runtime and mill throughput are underway. These efforts include a comprehensive review of maintenance practices related to the higher throughput and the optimization of the crusher, SAG mill and ball mill circuits. With sustained improvements year-over-year, the Company now expects the mill to reach a throughput rate of approximately 76,700 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 28 Mtpa) in the second half of 2024, compared to 2025 previously. The Company also sees the potential to reach a mill throughput rate of 79,450 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 29 Mtpa) in 2026 through the implementation of advanced process control (expert systems) and further runtime improvements. An internal analysis to better define these opportunities is expected to be completed in 2024.

 

In 2023, the exploration program at Detour Lake successfully defined continuity of mineralization below and west of the mineral reserves pit. This resulted in the addition of 1.56 million ounces of gold (21.8 million tonnes grading 2.23 g/t gold) in inferred mineral resources outside the mineral resource pit. Work is ongoing to determine the optimal transition point from open pit to underground mining. This transition point will help determine the mineral resources currently included in the resource pit that could instead be mined from underground. The resulting larger mineable underground mineral resource is expected to form the basis for an underground project at Detour Lake.

 

The preliminary underground mine concept under evaluation adopts many of the design criteria and parameters of the Company's existing operating mines in the region. The Company is currently evaluating a number of bulk mining scenarios. Mine development and production is envisioned to be done via ramp. Haulage of ore and waste by conveyor is a potential approach given the orebody plunging to the West. The mine could also utilize a combination of conventional and automated production equipment, similar to the equipment currently employed at the Company's Odyssey mine.

 

In 2024, exploration will continue to test and extend the west plunge of the main deposit. The Company is considering building an exploration ramp to increase confidence in the mineralization's continuity in the inferred resource envelope and to potentially collect a bulk sample. The Company expects to provide an update on mill optimization efforts, the Detour underground project and ongoing exploration results in the first half of 2024.

 

  Optimization of Other Assets and Infrastructure in the Abitibi Region  

 

At Macassa, mining of the NSUR and AK deposits through existing infrastructure was one of the first strategic optimization opportunities identified at the time of the Merger. At year-end 2023, the NSUR and AK deposits contributed approximately 23,000 ounces of gold in mineral reserves (0.12 million tonnes grading 5.93 g/t gold) and approximately 160,000 ounces of gold in mineral reserves (0.74 million tonnes grading 6.69 g/t gold) to the Macassa complex, respectively. Both deposits have now been incorporated into Macassa's production guidance for 2024 to 2026.

 

The NSUR and AK deposits are accessible from an existing surface ramp at Macassa (the "Portal"). A traditional truck and scoop tram approach has been selected for underground mucking and hauling, similar to the approach at LaRonde Zone 5 ("LZ5"). The deposits will be mined using long-hole open stoping and the stopes will be backfilled using cemented rockfill. At Macassa, the mill is expected to reach its nominal capacity of 1,650 tpd in mid-2024. The LZ5 processing facility at the LaRonde complex, approximately 130 kilometres away, can accommodate the processing of ore from the NSUR and AK deposits starting in the second half of 2024, thus avoiding capital expenditures that would otherwise be required for a mill expansion at Macassa. Production from the NSUR deposit is planned to be processed at the Macassa mill in the first half of 2024 and at the LZ5 processing facility in the second half of 2024. Production from the AK deposit, which is expected to begin in the second half of 2024 with the extraction of a 25,000 tonne bulk sample, is also planned to be processed at the LZ5 processing facility. Ore will be hauled by truck from the NSUR and AK deposits to the LZ5 processing facility. Production from these two deposits is forecast to be approximately 19,000 ounces of gold in 2024 and between 35,000 ounces to 50,000 ounces of gold from 2025 to 2028. The Company believes that the AK area remains prospective for future mineral resource growth.

 

At Upper Beaver, the Company continued to advance internal studies in the fourth quarter of 2023 to assess potential production opportunities, including comparison of transporting and processing ore at the LaRonde mill to a standalone central mill for Upper Beaver and satellite deposits. The Upper Beaver gold-copper deposit is expected to be mined by conventional underground methods, such as long hole open stoping with stopes to be backfilled with paste and waste rock. The Company is evaluating scenarios with a mining rate of approximately 5,000 tpd and production between 200,000 ounces and 230,000 ounces of gold per year and approximately 9 million to 10 million pounds of copper per year. Under these scenarios, initial production could potentially commence as early as 2030. The Company is also considering the construction of an exploration ramp and shaft in order to be used to upgrade mineral resources and further explore the deeper portions of the deposit. The exploration ramp and shaft would be considered permanent infrastructure and sized accordingly to accommodate the potential production phase in the event the project is approved for development.

 

At Wasamac, the Company continues to assess various scenarios to define the optimal mining rate and milling strategy for the project. While these evaluations continue, the Company has decided to not include the historical mineral reserve estimate at Wasamac in the Company's mineral reserve estimate. Rather, the Company has classified the Wasamac project entirely as mineral resources. The measured and indicated mineral resource estimate at year-end 2023 for the Wasamac project totalled 2.2 million ounces of gold (27.8 million tonnes grading 2.43 g/t) and inferred mineral resources were 0.8 million ounces of gold (9.2 million tonnes grading 2.66 g/t). Exploration activities in 2024 will focus on testing the eastern extension of the Wasamac deposit in the Wasa shear zone and exploring for Wasamac-style mineralization at Francoeur.

 

  Hope Bay – Step-Out Drilling Continues to Extend Madrid's High-Grade Patch 7 Zone at Depth and Laterally  

 

At Hope Bay, exploration drilling in 2023 totalled more than 125,000 metres with work focused on the Madrid area and Doris gold deposits and resulted in an increase in inferred mineral resources to 2.11 million ounces (12.1 million tonnes grading 5.41 g/t) as at December 31, 2023 from 1.95 million ounces (11.0 million tonnes grading 5.49 g/t) as at December 31, 2022 . Exploration drilling added approximately 336,000 ounces of inferred mineral resources mostly from Madrid's Patch 7 zone, which partially offset a reduction of 177,000 ounces of inferred mineral resources by project-wide conversion to indicated mineral resources and improvement of mining parameters.

 

At Madrid , the target area in the gap between the Suluk and Patch 7 zones delivered strong drill results with recent highlights of 16.3 g/t gold over 28.6 metres at 385 metres depth and 12.7 g/t gold over 4.6 metres at 677 metres depth. Results confirm the potential to expand gold mineralization in the Madrid deposit at depth and along strike to the south, which will be a key focus of the 2024 drilling program.

 

Recent exploration results are expected to support a larger production scenario at Hope Bay. The Company continues to advance the internal evaluation and anticipates reporting results from this internal evaluation in 2025.

 

  San Nicolás Copper Project  

 

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Minas de San Nicolás, which is jointly owned by the Company and Teck Resources Limited, continued to advance the San Nicolás project in Zacatecas State, Mexico , including with respect to stakeholder engagement on the permitting process. The partners also continued to advance the feasibility study, with the intention to initiate detailed engineering and further optimization work later in 2024, and plan to be complete in 2025. Project approval would be expected to follow, subject to receipt of permits and the results of the feasibility study. In January 2024 , Minas de San Nicolás submitted its application for an Environmental Impact Assessment permit, which is an important milestone in advancing the development of the San Nicolás project.

  *2023 actual production reflects the Company's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter.  

 
 
Gold production for 2024 is forecast to be approximately 3.35 to 3.55 million ounces, unchanged from the Previous Guidance. Additional production from operating improvements at the LaRonde and Meadowbank complexes and the Kittila mine (operating at 2 Mtpa) are expected to be offset by revisions to the mine plans at Canadian Malartic, due to the deferral of the restart of pre-crushing low grade ore, and at Fosterville , due to lower gold grades in the remaining area of the Swan zone.

Gold production is forecast to remain stable through 2026 based on mid-point estimates when compared to 2023 gold production of 3.44 million ounces. Gold production is forecast to be approximately 3.40 to 3.60 million ounces of gold in in 2025 and 2026.

  *Forecast total cash costs per ounce are based on the mid-point of 2024 production guidance as set out in the table above.  

 
 
 

Total cash costs per ounce in 2024 are expected to be between $875 and $925 . The higher costs, when compared to the full year 2023 total cash costs per ounce of $865 , are largely a result of higher labour, spare parts and maintenance costs. The Company expects stable unit costs through 2026, excluding inflation.

 

AISC per ounce in 2024 are expected to be between $1,200 and $1,250 . The higher costs, when compared to the full year 2023 AISC per ounce of $1,179 , are largely a result of higher total cash costs per ounce and higher sustaining capital expenditures. AISC per ounce are expected to remain stable through 2026, excluding inflation.

 

The Company remains focused on reducing costs through productivity improvements and innovation initiatives at all of its operations and the realization of operational synergies not currently factored into the cost guidance.

  Exploration and Corporate Development  

 

Exploration and corporate development expenses in 2024 are expected to be between $220 million and $240 million , based on a mid-point forecast of $151 .1 million for expensed exploration and $77 .7 million in project studies and other expenses.

 

  Depreciation Guidance  

 

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2024 is expected to be between $1.56 and $1.61 billion .

 

  General & Administrative Cost Guidance  

 

General and administrative expenses in 2024 are expected to be between $135 and $145 million , excluding share-based compensation. Share based compensation expense in 2024 is expected to be between $40 and $50 million .

 

  Other Cost Guidance  

 

Additional other expenses in 2024 are expected to be approximately $75 to $90 million . This includes $60 to $65 million related to site maintenance costs primarily at Hope Bay and Northern Territory in Australia , $5 to $10 million related to the ore sorting project at Detour Lake and $10 to $15 million related to sustainable development activities.

 

  Tax Guidance  

 

For 2024, the Company expects its effective tax rates to be:

 
  •   Canada – 35% to 40%
  •  
  •   Mexico – 35% to 40%
  •  
  •   Australia – 30%
  •  
  •   Finland – 20%
  •  

The Company's overall effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 33% to 38% for the full year 2024.

 

The Company estimates potential consolidated cash taxes of approximately $400 million to $500 million in 2024 at prevailing gold prices. The expected cash taxes for 2024 have increased from prior years as the Company has utilized the majority of its Canadian corporate tax pools that are deductible at a rate of 100% as of year-end 2023.

 

  Capital Expenditures Guidance  

 

In 2024, estimated capital expenditures are expected to be between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion and capitalized exploration expenditures are expected to be between $105 million and $115 million .

 

The estimated mid-point for capital expenditures (excluding capitalized exploration) for 2024 is approximately $1.65 billion , which includes approximately $916.0 million of sustaining capital expenditures at the Company's operating mines and approximately $737.0 million of development capital expenditures.

 

The Company's capital expenditure forecast for 2024 is higher than the full year 2023 capital expenditures of $1.48 billion (which included $790.5 million of sustaining capital expenditures and $684.6 million of development capital expenditures) and capitalized exploration of $125.8 million . The increase in capital expenditures when compared to 2023 is largely due to the increase in ownership of Canadian Malartic to 100% as of the second quarter of 2023 and increased capital expenditures at Detour Lake, primarily due to additional maintenance and mobile equipment purchases and mine infrastructure costs and inflation. While the 2024 capital expenditures includes the advancement of studies and preliminary work for regional pipeline projects, additional spending at these projects will depend on the approval and timing of these projects.

At the LaRonde complex, the production forecast is higher in 2024 when compared to Previous Guidance primarily due to higher productivity achieved than initially anticipated during the transition to pillarless mining at the LaRonde mine. Gold production is expected to increase to 310,000 ounces in 2025 and reach an annual run-rate of approximately 340,000 ounces per year in 2026, primarily due to higher gold grades at the LaRonde mine, an increase in the mining rate at the LZ5 mine to 3,800 tpd and the addition of satellite zones. The Company is also evaluating the potential to bring new sources of ore into production, including the LZ5 deep, Ellison and Fringe zones.

 

The LZ5 processing facility is expected to be in care and maintenance until the second half of 2024 as the Company completes an upgrade to the CIL tanks. The Company expects to restart the LZ5 processing facility in the second half of 2024 to process ore from the LZ5 mine and the AK deposit at Macassa. The Company continues to assess options to leverage the excess mill capacity at LZ5 as set out in the Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects section above.

 

The LaRonde mine has planned a shutdown of 14 days in the third quarter of 2024 in order to rebuild the loading station at level 206 of the Penna shaft.

At the Canadian Malartic complex, the production forecast is lower in 2024 when compared to Previous Guidance primarily due to the Company's decision to defer the reintroduction of pre-crushing low grade ore to increase mill throughput to 2025 from 2024. The Company continues to optimize the ore processing plan to enhance the financial metrics and cash flow during the transition to the underground Odyssey project. The mill throughput is now forecast to remain at approximately 52,000 tpd in 2024.

 

In 2024, production is expected to be sourced from the Barnat pit and the Odyssey mine, complemented by ore from the low grade stockpiles. The Odyssey mine is expected to contribute approximately 80,000 ounces of payable gold to the Canadian Malartic complex in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

At Detour Lake, the slightly lower production forecast when compared to Previous Guidance is primarily due to lower grades from a slight adjustment to the mining sequence. The production profile reflects expected steady progress on the mill optimization projects, with the mill throughput rate expected to reach and sustain 77,000 tpd (equivalent to an annualized rate of approximately 28 Mtpa) in the second half of 2024, and a higher grade profile in 2025 and 2026.

At Macassa, the production forecast is higher in 2024 and 2025 when compared to Previous Guidance primarily due to the addition of production from the AK deposit to the mining profile. With sustained productivity gains at Macassa over the recent quarters, the deep mine (including the South Mine complex and Main Break) is now expected to largely fill the mill at its nominal capacity of 1,650 tpd starting in the second half of 2024. Production from the NSUR and AK deposits is planned to be trucked and processed at the LZ5 processing facility. Production from the NSUR and AK deposits is forecast to be approximately 19,000 ounces of gold in 2024 and between 35,000 ounces to 50,000 ounces of gold in 2025 and 2026. The lower forecast gold grade is largely a result of the inclusion of lower grade AK ore, additional lower grade NSUR ore and continued adjustments to the resource model from additional definition drilling.

 

The Company continues to see geological potential at Macassa as demonstrated by the mineral reserves replacement of 171% of its mining depletion in 2023 and encouraging drill results. In addition, the mineralized structures along strike and at depth of the South Mine complex and Main Break are prospective for ongoing expansion of the mineral resource base at the site. Overall, the Company believes that the Macassa mine has the potential to maintain production in excess of 300,000 ounces of gold per year based on expected exploration results.

At the Meadowbank complex, the production forecast is higher in 2024 when compared to Previous Guidance primarily due to improved grades from positive grade reconciliation. The Company has approved an extension to the Amaruq life of mine to 2028 (compared to 2026 previously), which includes additional stopes from underground, a push-back from the IVR open pit and additional ounces from positive grade reconciliation. Overall approximately 500,000 ounces of gold have been added to the production profile, including approximately 100,000 ounces of gold in 2026. Amaruq underground is forecast to contribute approximately 100,000 ounces of gold in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

 

In 2023, Meadowbank experienced its longest lasting caribou migration since operations began. The Company continues to adjust for the caribou migration in its production plan as this migration can affect the ability to move materials on the road between Amaruq and Meadowbank and between Meadowbank and Baker Lake . Wildlife management is an important priority and the Company is working with Nunavut stakeholders to optimize solutions to safeguard wildlife and minimize production disruptions.

At Fosterville , the production forecast is lower in 2024 and 2025 when compared to Previous Guidance. The declining production profile reflects negative grade reconciliation in the remaining area of the high grade Swan zone and the substantial depletion of the zone by late 2024. With the completion of the primary ventilation upgrade planned for late 2024 and the commencement of operations in Robbins Hill, the mining rate is forecast to increase by approximately 10% in 2025 and 2026, partially offsetting the lower average gold grade of approximately 6.50 g/t. Work is ongoing to evaluate the potential to optimize mining and milling through improved productivity to ensure Fosterville remains a sustainable 175,000 ounces to 200,000 ounces producer annually. Preliminary results of this evaluation are expected in the second half of 2024.

 

In 2023, the Fosterville mine successfully replaced 102% of mining depletion through continued exploration success in the Robbins Hill and Lower Phoenix areas and improved mining parameters. The Company believes that these areas remain prospective for high-grade, sulphide-hosted gold mineralization as well as ultra-high grade, quartz-hosted gold zones similar to the Swan zone.

  •  

  Highlights  

 
  • Production from the 11-3 Zone at LaRonde continued in the fourth quarter of 2023 at a mining rate of approximately 950 tpd, exceeding the planned mining rate for the quarter. The 11-3 Zone is expected to continue to add additional flexibility to the LaRonde mine production plan
  •  
  • Maintenance of the underground ore handling system continued in the fourth quarter of 2023. The LaRonde mine had partial, planned shutdowns (equivalent in aggregate to approximately a 10-day shutdown) during the fourth quarter of 2023 to update the main underground ore network
  •  
  • During the fourth quarter of 2023, ore from LZ5 was processed at the LaRonde mill to take advantage of its excess capacity. The LZ5 processing facility was placed on care and maintenance during the third quarter of 2023 and is expected to restart in the second half of 2024. During the downtime, the Company will overhaul the facility's leach tanks

  *For the Full Year Ended December 31, 2022, the operating statistics are reported for the period from February 8, 2022 (the date of the Merger) to December 31, 2022.  

 
 
 

  Gold Production  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Gold production increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the higher volume of ore processed, partially offset by lower gold grades
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Gold production increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of the closing of the Merger and higher volume of ore processed, partially offset by lower gold grades
  •  

  Production Costs  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Production costs per tonne decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to the higher volume of ore milled in the current period. Production costs per ounce decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to more ounces of gold produced in the current period, and the weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Production costs per tonne decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to the higher volume of ore milled in the current period and the fair value adjustments to inventory made in 2022. Production costs per ounce decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to more ounces of gold being produced in the current period and the weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar
  •  

  Minesite and Total Cash Costs  

 
  • Fourth Quarter of 2023 – Minesite costs per tonne decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to the higher volume of ore milled, partially offset by higher mining costs resulting from higher input prices. Total cash costs per ounce increased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to higher mining costs, partially offset by the weaker Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar
  •  
  • Full Year 2023 – Minesite costs per tonne decreased when compared to the prior year period primarily due to the higher volume of ore milled, mainly due to the timing of the closing of the Merger.

  •  

  Highlights  

 
  • During the fourth quarter of 2023, Macassa continued to demonstrate sustained productivity gains and improved compliance to plan, which resulted in record quarterly and annual development metres, tonnes skipped and mill throughput. The robust operational performance drove the lowest minesite costs per tonne since the Merger
  •  
  • In the fourth quarter and full year of 2023, realized gold grades were lower than forecast largely due to the addition to the mine plan of lower grade opportunity ounces as a result of the increased mining rate and available mill capacity
  •  
  • At the Portal (ramp access to the NSUR) production from long hole stopes continued in the fourth quarter of 2023. Gold production from NSUR was approximately 4,800 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2023
  •  
  • The construction of the enclosure of the surface fans continued according to schedule in the fourth quarter of 2023 and both fans were operating at 60%. The overall ventilation system upgrade is currently on track for completion in the first quarter of 2024, when both fans are anticipated to reach full capacity

  Highlights  

 
  • The open pit operation continued to deliver solid performance during the fourth quarter of 2023 despite delays related to an extended caribou migration and poor weather conditions. Production at Amaruq also continued to benefit from positive reconciliation on tonnes and grade
  •  
  • The underground operation continued to build on productivity gains demonstrating sustained improvement through the cycle and increased adherence and compliance to plan. The cemented rock fill and ore haulage set quarterly performance records
  •  
  • Based on continuous improvement and cost optimization efforts, positive reconciliation to the geological model and infill drilling, the Company has approved an extension to the Amaruq life of mine to 2028 (previous mine life of 2026). The extension consists of a push-back from the IVR pit, at a stripping ratio of 7.2, and additional stopes from the underground, which, combined, contribute approximately 500,000 of additional gold ounces to the production profile

  •  

  Highlights  

 
  • The Company is currently advancing an upgrade of the primary ventilation system to sustain the mining rate in the Lower Phoenix zones in future years. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed the priority development related to the ventilation upgrade on schedule and commenced the reaming of the first ventilation raise. The Company expects the project to be completed by early 2025
  •  
  • During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company continued to give priority to the key underground development in Robbins Hill district and the Lower Phoenix exploration drive. Unplanned maintenance on a primary fan transformer in late December affected underground production and resulted in the delayed extraction of a high grade stope from the Swan zone
  •  
  • At the mill, throughput was solid with run of mine and coarse ore stockpiles being drawn down at quarter end to help counter the delay on a high grade Swan stope. As a result, head grades were slightly lower than planned

  Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance  

 

This news release discloses certain financial performance measures and ratios, including "total cash costs per ounce", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce", "adjusted net income", "adjusted net income per share", "cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments", "cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments per share", "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" (also referred to as EBITDA), "adjusted EBITDA", "free cash flow", "free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital", "operating margin", "sustaining capital expenditures", "development capital expenditures", "net debt" and "minesite costs per tonne" that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other gold mining companies. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information reported in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, other than adjusted net income, see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" below.

 

   Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced   

 

Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (also referred to as "total cash costs per ounce") is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for by-product revenues, inventory production costs, the impact of purchase price allocation in connection with mergers and acquisitions on inventory accounting, realized gains and losses on hedges of production costs, operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 and other adjustments, which include the costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of certain portions of the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Macassa mine, as well as smelting, refining and marketing charges and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. Given the extraordinary nature of the fair value adjustment on inventory related to mergers and acquisitions and the use of the total cash costs per ounce measures to reflect the cash generating capabilities of the Company's operations, the calculations of total cash costs per ounce for the Detour Lake, Macassa and Fosterville mines have been adjusted for this purchase price allocation in the comparative period data and for the Canadian Malartic complex in year ended December 31, 2023 . Investors should note that total cash costs per ounce are not reflective of all cash expenditures, as they do not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments.

 

Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis, except that no adjustment is made for by-product metal revenues. Accordingly, the calculation of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a co-product basis does not reflect a reduction in production costs or smelting, refining and marketing charges associated with the production and sale of by-product metals.

 

Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is intended to provide investors information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to, and believes they are helpful to investors so investors can, understand and monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. The Company believes that total cash costs per ounce is useful to help investors understand the costs associated with producing gold and the economics of gold mining. As market prices for gold are quoted on a per ounce basis, using the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis measure allows management and investors to assess a mine's cash-generating capabilities at various gold prices. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce of gold produced on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne as it is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management also performs sensitivity analyses in order to quantify the effects of fluctuating metal prices and exchange rates.

 

Agnico Eagle's primary business is gold production and the focus of its current operations and future development is on maximizing returns from gold production, with other metal production being incidental to the gold production process. Accordingly, all metals other than gold are considered by-products.

 

In this news release, unless otherwise indicated, total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on a by-product basis because (i) the majority of the Company's revenues are from gold, (ii) the Company mines ore, which contains gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all costs to revenues from the gold, silver, zinc, copper and other metals the Company produces, (iv) it is a method used by management and the Board of Directors to monitor operations, and (v) many other gold producers disclose similar measures on a by-product rather than a co-product basis.

 

   All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced   

 

All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced (also referred to as "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" or "AISC per ounce") on a by-product basis is calculated as the aggregate of total cash costs on a by-product basis, sustaining capital expenditures (including capitalized exploration), general and administrative expenses (including stock options), lease payments related to sustaining assets and reclamation expenses, and then dividing by the number of ounces of gold produced. These additional costs reflect the additional expenditures that are required to be made to maintain current production levels. The AISC per ounce on a co-product basis is calculated in the same manner as the AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, except that the total cash costs on a co-product basis are used, meaning no adjustment is made for by-product metal revenues. Investors should note that AISC per ounce is not reflective of all cash expenditures as it does not include income tax payments, interest costs or dividend payments, nor does it include noncash expenditures, such as depreciation and amortization. In this news release, unless otherwise indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced is reported on a byproduct basis (see "—Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced" for a discussion of regarding the Company's use of by-product basis reporting).

 

Management believes that AISC per ounce is helpful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides helpful information about operating performance. Management is aware, and investors should note, that these per ounce measures of performance can be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and, in the case of total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce on a by-product basis, by-product metal prices. Management compensates for these inherent limitations by using, and investors should also consider using, these measures in conjunction with data prepared in accordance with IFRS and minesite costs per tonne as it is not necessarily indicative of operating costs or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

The Company follows the guidance on calculation of AISC per ounce released by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in 2018. The WGC is a non-regulatory market development organization for the gold industry that has worked closely with its member companies to develop guidance in respect of relevant non-GAAP measures. Notwithstanding the Company's adoption of the WGC's guidance, AISC per ounce of gold produced reported by the Company may not be comparable to data reported by other gold mining companies.

 

   Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share   

 

Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting the net (loss) income as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for the effects of certain non-recurring, unusual and other items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net (loss) income for foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, revaluation gain, impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, integration costs, purchase price allocations to inventory, self-insurance losses, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, income and mining taxes adjustments as well as other items (which include payments that relate to prior years and disposals of supplies inventory at non-operating sites). Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of the period on a basic and diluted basis.

 

The Company believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are useful to investors in that they allow for the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and in making comparisons between periods. These generally accepted industry measures are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing income generating capabilities from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which the Company believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses this measure to, and believes it is helpful to investors so they can, understand and monitor for the operating performance of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are not standardized measures under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other companies.

 

   Cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments and cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments per share   

 

Cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments and cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments per share are calculated by adjusting the cash provided by operating activities as shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the effects of changes in non-cash components of working capital such as trade receivables, income taxes, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable. The per share amount is calculated by dividing cash provided by operating activities before working capital adjustments by the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic basis. The Company believes that changes in working capital can be volatile due to numerous factors, including the timing of payments. Management uses these measures to, and believe they are useful to investors so they can, assess the underlying operating cash flow performance and future operating cash flow generating capabilities of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

   EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA   

 

EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is calculated by adjusting the net (loss) income as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for finance costs, amortization of property, plant and mine development and income and mining tax expense line items as reported in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. EBITDA removes the effects of certain non-recurring, unusual and other items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting the EBITDA calculation for foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, revaluation gains and losses, impairment loss charges and reversals, environmental remediation, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, integration costs, purchase price allocations to inventory, self-insurance losses, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, as well as other items (which include payments that relate to prior years and disposals of supplies inventory at non-operating sites).

 

The Company believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in that they allow for the evaluation of the liquidity generating capability of the Company to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayments. These generally accepted industry measures are intended to provide investors with information about the Company's continuing cash generating capability from its core mining business, excluding the above adjustments, which management believes are not reflective of operational performance. Management uses these measures to, and believes it is helpful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating capability of the Company in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not standardized measures under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other companies.

 

   Free cash flow and Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital   

 

Free cash flow is calculated by deducting additions to property, plant and mine development from the cash provided by operating activities line item as recorded in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by excluding the effect of changes in non-cash components of working capital from free cash flow such as trade receivables, income taxes, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable.

 

The Company believes that free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the Company's ability to repay creditors and return cash to shareholders without relying on external sources of funding. These generally accepted industry measures also provide investors with information about the Company's financial position and its ability to generate cash to fund operational and capital requirements as well as return cash to shareholders. Management uses these measures in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS, and believes it is helpful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating capability of the Company. Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital are not standardized measures under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other companies.

 

   Operating margin   

 

Operating margin is calculated by deducting production costs from revenue from mining operations. In order to reconcile operating margin to net income as recorded in the consolidated financial statements, the Company adds the following items to the operating margin: income and mining taxes expense; other expenses (income); care and maintenance expenses; foreign currency translation (gain) loss; environmental remediation costs; gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments; finance costs; general and administrative expenses; amortization of property, plant and mine development; exploration and corporate development expenses; revaluation gain and impairment losses (reversals). The Company believes that operating margin is a useful measure to investors as it reflects the operating performance of its individual mines associated with the ongoing production and sale of gold and by-product metals without allocating Company-wide overhead, including exploration and corporate development expenses, amortization of property, plant and mine development, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, gain and losses on derivative financial instruments, environmental remediation costs, foreign currency translation gains and losses, other expenses and income and mining tax expenses. Management uses this measure internally to plan and forecast future operating results. Management believes this measure is helpful to investors as it provides them with additional information about the Company's underlying operating results and should be evaluated in conjunction with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Operating margin is not a standardized measure under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other companies.

 

   Sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures   

 

Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures and development capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures incurred during the production phase to sustain and maintain existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production from which the Company will derive economic benefits. Sustaining capital expenditures include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures represent the spending at new projects and/or expenditures at existing operations that are undertaken with the intention to increase production levels or mine life above the current plans. Management uses these measures in the capital allocation process and to assess the effectiveness of its investments. Management believes these measures are useful so investors can assess the purpose and effectiveness of the capital expenditures split between sustaining and development in each reporting period. The classification between sustaining and development capital expenditures does not have a standardized definition in accordance with IFRS and other companies may classify expenditures in a different manner.

 

   Net debt   

 

Net debt is calculated by adjusting the total of the current portion of long-term debt and non-current long-term debt as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet for deferred financing costs and cash and cash equivalents. Management believes the measure of net debt is useful to help investors to determine the Company's overall debt position and to evaluate future debt capacity of the Company. Net debt is not a standardized measure under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other companies.

 

   Minesite costs per tonne   

 

Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for inventory production costs , operational care and maintenance costs due to COVID-19 and other adjustments, and then dividing by tonnage of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced can be affected by fluctuations in by–product metal prices and foreign exchange rates, management believes that minesite costs per tonne is useful to investors in providing additional information regarding the performance of mining operations, eliminating the impact of varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne mined, in order to be economically viable the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the minesite costs per tonne. Management is aware, and investors should note, that this per tonne measure of performance can be affected by fluctuations in processing levels. This inherent limitation may be partially mitigated by using this measure in conjunction with production costs and other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Minesite costs per tonne is not a standardized measure under IFRS and, as reported by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures reported by other gold mining companies.

 

   Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures   

 

This news release also contains information as to estimated future total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce and minesite costs per tonne that the Company expects to incur to mine gold at its mines and projects and, consistent with the reconciliation of these actual costs referred to above, do not include production costs attributable to accretion expense and other asset retirement costs, which will vary over time as each project is developed and mined. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measure.

Such statements include, without limitation: the Company's forward-looking guidance, including metal production, estimated ore grades, recovery rates, project timelines, drilling targets or results, life of mine estimates, total cash costs per ounce, AISC per ounce, minesite costs per tonne, other expenses and cash flows; the potential for additional gold production at the Upper Beaver project and the Company's other sites; the estimated timing and conclusions of the Company's studies and evaluations; the methods by which ore will be extracted or processed; the Company's expansion plans at Detour Lake, Kittila, Meliadine Phase 2, the Amaruq underground project and the Odyssey project, including the timing, funding, completion and commissioning thereof and the commencement of production therefrom; the potential to optimize mining and milling through improved productivity to ensure Fosterville remains a sustainable 175,000 ounces to 200,000 ounces producer annually; the potential for the Macassa mine to maintain production in excess of 300,000 ounces of gold per year based on expected exploration results; the Company's plans at the Hope Bay project; the Company's plans at the Wasamac project; statements concerning other expansion projects, recovery rates, mill throughput, optimization efforts and projected exploration, including costs and other estimates upon which such projections are based; timing and amounts of capital expenditures, other expenditures and other cash needs, and expectations as to the funding thereof; estimates of future mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral production and sales; the projected development of certain ore deposits, including estimates of exploration, development and production and other capital costs and estimates of the timing of such exploration, development and production or decisions with respect to such exploration, development and production; anticipated cost inflation and its effect on the Company's costs and results; estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources and the effect of drill results on future mineral reserves and mineral resources; the Company's ability to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations in connection with its proposed or current exploration, development and mining operations including at Meliadine and the anticipated timing thereof; future exploration; the anticipated timing of events with respect to the Company's mine sites; the sufficiency of the Company's cash resources; the Company's plans with respect to hedging and the effectiveness of its hedging strategies; future activity with respect to the Company's unsecured revolving bank credit facility, the term loan facility and other indebtedness; future dividend amounts, record dates and payment dates; and anticipated trends with respect to the Company's operations, exploration and the funding thereof. Such statements reflect the Company's views as at the date of this news release and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Agnico Eagle as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The material factors and assumptions used in the preparation of the forward-looking statements contained herein, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the assumptions set forth herein and in management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and the Company's Annual Information Form ("AIF") for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with Canadian securities regulators and that are included in its Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("Form 40-F") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as well as: that there are no significant disruptions affecting operations; that production, permitting, development, expansion and the ramp-up of operations at each of Agnico Eagle's properties proceeds on a basis consistent with current expectations and plans; that the relevant metal prices, foreign exchange rates and prices for key mining and construction inputs (including labour and electricity) will be consistent with Agnico Eagle's expectations; that Agnico Eagle's current estimates of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and metal recovery are accurate; that there are no material delays in the timing for completion of ongoing growth projects; that seismic activity at the Company's operations at LaRonde, Goldex and other properties is as expected by the Company and that the Company's efforts to mitigate its effect on mining operations are successful; that the Company's current plans to optimize production are successful; that there are no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environment; that governments, the Company or others do not take additional measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise that, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Company's ability to operate its business or its productivity; and that measures taken relating to, or other effects of, the COVID-19 pandemic do not affect the Company's ability to obtain necessary supplies and deliver them to its mine sites. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; uncertainty of mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, project development, capital expenditures and other costs; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; inflationary pressures; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs; seismic activity at the Company's operations, including the LaRonde complex and Goldex mine; mining risks; community protests, including by Indigenous groups; risks associated with foreign operations; governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company's stock price; risks associated with the Company's currency, fuel and by-product metal derivative strategies; the current interest rate environment; the potential for major economies to encounter a slowdown in economic activity or a recession; the potential for increased conflict or hostilities in various regions, including Europe and the Middle East ; and the extent and manner to which COVID-19, its variants, and other communicable diseases or outbreaks, and measures taken by governments, the Company or others to attempt to mitigate the spread thereof may directly or indirectly affect the Company. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the AIF and MD&A filed on SEDAR at   www.sedar   plus   .   ca   and included in the Form 40-F filed on EDGAR at   www.sec.gov   , as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the SEC. Other than as required by law, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

 
 
 

  Notes to Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral Resources  

 

The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in this news release have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian securities administrators' (the "CSA") National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

 

Effective February 25, 2019 , the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties were amended to more closely align with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101. However, Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System ("MJDS"), such as the Company, may still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC disclosure requirements when using the SEC's MJDS registration statement and annual report forms. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.

 

Investors are cautioned that while the SEC now recognizes "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources", or "inferred mineral resources" that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable.  

 

Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

 

The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. The Company does not include equivalent gold ounces for by-product metals contained in mineral reserves in its calculation of contained ounces and mineral reserves are not reported as a subset of mineral resources.

Mineral reserves are reported exclusive of mineral resources. Tonnage amounts and contained metal amounts set out in this table have been rounded to the nearest thousand, so may not aggregate to equal column totals. Mineral reserves are in-situ , taking into account all mining recoveries, before mill or heap leach recoveries. Underground mineral reserves and measured and indicated mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal and external dilution. Inferred mineral resources are reported within mineable shapes and include internal dilution. Mineable shape optimization parameters may differ for mineral reserves and mineral resources.

 

The mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages reported for silver, copper and zinc are a subset of the mineral reserves and mineral resources tonnages for gold. The Company's economic parameters set the maximum price allowed to be no more than the lesser of the three–year moving average and current spot price, which is a common industry standard. Given the current commodity price environment, Agnico Eagle continues to use more conservative gold and silver prices.

 

NI 43-101 requires mining companies to disclose mineral reserves and mineral resources using the subcategories of "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

 

A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of modifying factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The mineral reserves presented in this news release are separate from and not a portion of the mineral resources.

 

Modifying factors are considerations used to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.

 

A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the modifying factors. A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource. The confidence in the modifying factors applied to a probable mineral reserve is lower than that applied to a proven mineral reserve.

 

A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.

 

A measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of modifying factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity.

 

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

 

A feasibility study is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of applicable modifying factors, together with any other relevant operational factors and detailed financial analysis that are necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the study will be higher than that of a pre-feasibility study.

  Notes:  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  (i) Certain previously reported line items have been restated to reflect the final purchase price allocation of the Merger.  

 
 

  (ii) Operating margin is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. See Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures - Operating Margin and Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance for more information on the Company's calculation and use of operating margin.  

 
 

  (iii) The information set out in this table reflects the Company's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter.  

 
 

  (iv) Revaluation gain on the 50% interest the Company owned in Canadian Malartic complex prior to the Yamana Transaction.  

 
 

  (v) Payable production (a non-GAAP non-financial performance measure) is the quantity of mineral produced during a period contained in products that are or will be sold by the Company, whether such products are sold during the period or held as inventories at the end of the period.  

 
 

  (vi) The Canadian Malartic complex's payable metal sold excludes the 5.0% net smelter return royalty held by Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. The Detour Lake mine's payable metal sold excludes the 2% net smelter royalty held by Franco-Nevada Corporation. The Macassa mine's payable metal sold excludes the 1.5% net smelter royalty held by Franco-Nevada Corporation.  

 
 

  (vii) The total cash costs per ounce of gold produced is not a recognized measure under IFRS and this data may not be comparable to data reported by other gold producers. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures — Total Cash Costs per Ounce of Gold Produced and Minesite Costs per Tonne and Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance for more information on the Company's calculation and use of total cash cost per ounce of gold produced.

   (i) The information set out in this table reflects the Company's 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic complex up to and including March 30, 2023 and 100% interest thereafter.  

 
 

   (ii) Under the Company's revenue recognition policy, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized upon the transfer of control over metals sold to the customer. As the total cash costs per ounce of gold produced are calculated on a production basis, an inventory adjustment is made to reflect the portion of production not yet recognized as revenue.  

 
 

   (iii) This adjustment reflects the costs associated with the temporary suspension of mining activities at the Company's mine sites in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and includes primarily payroll and other incidental costs associated with maintaining the sites and properties, and payroll costs associated with employees who were not working during the period of reduced or suspended operations. These expenses also include payroll costs of employees who could not work following the period of temporary suspension or reduced operations due to the Company's effort to prevent or curtail community transmission of COVID-19.  

 
 

   (iv) On February 8, 2022, the Company completed the Merger and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory at the Detour Lake, Macassa, and Fosterville mines as part of the purchase price allocation. On March 31, 2023, the Company completed Yamana Transaction and this adjustment reflects the fair value allocated to inventory at the Canadian Malartic complex as part of the purchase price allocation.  

 
 

   (v) Other adjustments consists of costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Canadian Malartic complex, a 2% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Detour Lake mine, a 1.5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of the Macassa mine, smelting, refining, and marketing charges to production costs.  

 
 

   (vi) The Creston Mascota mine's cost calculations per tonne for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 excludes approximately $0.5 and $2.2 million of production costs incurred during the period, respectively, following the ceasing of mining activities at the Bravo pit during the third quarter of 2020.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.
