Overview
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited is a Canadian gold mining company founded in 1957. Its core business is producing gold from mines in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico. The company describes its purpose as making mining work for all stakeholders, with an emphasis on trust, shared opportunities and respect.[1]
Agnico Eagle reported approximately US$11.9 billion in revenue from mining operations in 2025. At year-end, its worldwide workforce comprised more than 18,000 employees and contractors.[2][3] [4][1][2][3]
Products & services
Agnico Eagle’s principal product is gold. It also produces silver, zinc and copper as by-products; gold accounts for a significant proportion of revenue, while by-product metals account for the remainder. The company identifies silver, zinc and copper from LaRonde and silver from Pinos Altos among those by-products.[5]
Its product forms include gold-silver doré bars and metal concentrates. LaRonde produces doré as well as zinc and copper concentrates that carry gold and silver credits. At Goldex, some recovered gold is cast into doré on site, while the rest is recovered in a gold-bearing pyrite concentrate sent to LaRonde for further processing. Pinos Altos also produces gold-silver doré bars. These are mining products and processing routes, rather than separate customer-facing services.[6][7][8] [5][6][7][8]
Geographic presence
Agnico Eagle Mines’ operating mines are concentrated in Canada, with sites in Quebec (LaRonde, Canadian Malartic and Goldex), Ontario (Detour Lake and Macassa) and Nunavut (Meliadine and Meadowbank). Its other producing regions are Finland (Kittilä), Australia (Fosterville) and Mexico (Pinos Altos).[9] The company’s corporate head office is in Toronto, Ontario.[10]
Agnico Eagle reports operating results by mine and region, but does not disclose mining revenue by customer country or an equivalent geographic breakdown of sales.[9][11] [9][10][11]
Business segments
Agnico Eagle reports its segments by operating mine and significant project, rather than by country or a single product line. These segments principally represent gold-mining operations. Its 2025 segment disclosures identify Detour Lake, Canadian Malartic, Meadowbank, Meliadine, LaRonde, Macassa, Kittilä, Fosterville, Goldex and Pinos Altos, alongside smaller operations and projects. The LaRonde segment includes the LaRonde Zone 5 mine.[12][13]
Based on 2025 revenue from mining operations, the approximate contributions were Detour Lake 19.8%, Canadian Malartic 17.5%, Meadowbank 14.3%, Meliadine 11.2%, LaRonde 10.9%, Macassa 8.6%, Kittilä 6.3%, Fosterville 4.5%, Goldex 3.9% and Pinos Altos 2.7%; La India and other projects together accounted for about 0.4%. These are revenue shares calculated from the mine-level segment figures, not a separate geographic segment breakdown.[14] [S1][S2][https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2809/000110465926032153/R31.htm][https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2809/000110465926032153/R57.htm][https://agnicoeagle.com/English/operations-and-projects/global-operations-and-development-projects/laronde-complex/default.aspx]
Company history
Agnico Eagle traces its origins to Agnico Mines, established in 1957. Agnico merged with Eagle Gold Mines in 1972 to form Agnico Eagle Mines.[15] Its LaRonde mine in Quebec began commercial production in 1988.[16] In 2007, Agnico Eagle acquired Cumberland Resources and its Meadowbank project in Nunavut; Meadowbank began commercial production in 2010, becoming the company’s first mine in Canada’s Arctic.[17][18]
In 2014, Agnico Eagle and Yamana Gold acquired Osisko Mining and took equal ownership of the Canadian Malartic mine.[19] Agnico Eagle merged with Kirkland Lake Gold in 2022, with the combined company retaining the Agnico Eagle name.[20] In 2023, it acquired Yamana’s Canadian assets, including the remaining 50% interest in Canadian Malartic, becoming the mine’s sole owner.[21] [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
