Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects
The Company continues to advance the transition to underground mining with the construction of the Odyssey mine and work on several opportunities with a vision to potentially grow annual production to one million ounces per year in the 2030s. These opportunities include the potential for a second shaft at Odyssey, the development of a satellite open pit at Marban and the development of the Wasamac underground project. Marban and Wasamac are located approximately 12 kilometres and 100 kilometres from the
Odyssey
In the first quarter of 2025, ramp development continued to progress ahead of schedule. The ramp towards the mid-shaft loading station reached a depth of 1,012 metres as at
In the first quarter of 2025, the shaft reached level 111 at a depth of 1,113 metres on schedule. Excavation of the mid-shaft loading station was initiated and is expected to continue through the remainder of 2025. The level 111 station was excavated and is being prepared for steel installation, while excavation of the loading pocket at level 112 commenced.
In the first quarter of 2025, construction progressed on schedule and on budget. Construction of the temporary loading station at level 64 and the commissioning of the service hoist were completed. The service hoist, which will support the transportation of people, materials and waste, is expected to ramp-up to its design capacity of 3,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") in the second quarter of 2025. At the main hoist building, the concrete foundation for the production hoist was poured. The structural steel and exterior cladding of the main office and service building was completed in the quarter and work shifted to the interior and to the mechanical and electrical installation. Construction of the main office building is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026.
Exploration drilling ramped up at Odyssey during the first quarter of 2025. Thirteen underground rigs and fourteen surface rigs drilled a total of 53,376 metres that targeted the eastern and depth extensions of the East Gouldie deposit, the new Eclipse zone and portions of the Odyssey deposit near the Odyssey shaft. Regional exploration continued to investigate several targets along the 16-kilometre long land package around the mine.
Drilling into the lower eastern extension of the East Gouldie deposit at the edge of the current mineralized envelope was highlighted by hole MEX24-322WAZ intersecting 5.3 g/t gold over 27.4 metres at 1,840 metres depth, including 9.9 g/t gold over 8.5 metres at 1,842 metres depth, and hole MEX24-322WA intersecting 6.6 g/t gold over 17.7 metres at 1,886 metres depth. Follow-up drilling at a 300 metre drill spacing is underway to further assess the eastward potential of the deposit between approximately 1,700 and 2,000 metres depth.
The drilling program is also investigating the interpreted junction at depth of the East Gouldie mineralized envelope and the Sladen Fault in what has been named the Keel structure, with hole UGEG-075-038 intersecting 2.2 g/t gold over 58.2 metres at 1,948 metres depth within the Keel structure, including 3.2 g/t gold over 21.7 metres at 1,976 metres depth, approximately 200 metres below the current planned maximum depth of the Odyssey shaft. Additional drilling is underway to further test the north-south and east-west continuities of the Keel structure.
Follow-up drilling into the newly discovered, sub-parallel Eclipse zone, which is located 50 to 100 metres north of the eastern portion of the East Gouldie mineralized corridor and extends from approximately 1,200 metres to 1,900 metres below surface, was highlighted by hole MEX24-325Z intersecting 3.7 g/t gold over 59.7 metres at 1,413 metres depth, including 6.3 g/t gold over 6.0 metres at 1,384 metres depth and 7.8 g/t gold over 7.8 metres at 1,398 metres depth.
Underground conversion drilling into the upper eastern extension of the East Gouldie deposit was highlighted by hole UGEG-071-009 intersecting 3.7 g/t gold over 17.3 metres at 766 metres depth. The Company believes this area has the potential to add indicated mineral resources and potentially mineral reserves to East Gouldie by year-end.

9 Minesite costs per tonne is a non-GAAP measure that is not standardized under IFRS and is reported on a per tonne of ore milled basis. For a description of the composition and usefulness of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to production costs see "Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance" below. |
See the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the first quarter of 2025 (the "MD&A") under the caption "Production Costs" for a variance analysis on gold production, production costs, minesite costs per tonne and total cash costs per ounce compared to the prior-year period.
Regional Highlights
- Gold production in the quarter was higher than planned as a result of higher grades at LaRonde and the Barnat pit at
Canadian Malartic , partially offset by lower volume milled. The higher gold grades at LaRonde were driven by positive grade reconciliation and a change in the mine sequencing. The higher gold grades atCanadian Malartic were a result of mining mineralized zones near historical underground stopes that returned higher grades than estimated - At
LaRonde Zone 5 ("LZ5"), the Company continued its automation initiatives and achieved its automation target of 30%. Approximately 1,140 tpd were moved during the quarter through automated scoops and trucks, which contributed to the strong overall performance of the site at an average of 3,450 tpd - At
Canadian Malartic , in-pit tailings deposition resumed inMarch 2025 , and is expected to ramp up to its design capacity in the second quarter of 2025 - At Odyssey South, total development during the quarter was a record at approximately 4,377 metres. Gold production was a quarterly record and in line with target at approximately 22,430 ounces of gold driven by higher ore mined of approximately 3,720 tpd compared to the target of 3,500 tpd. The increased use of remote-operated and automated equipment (including scoops, trucks, jumbos and cable bolters) was the main driver for exceeding the development and production targets in the first quarter of 2025. An update on Odyssey is set out in the Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects section above
- At Goldex, record tonnage was processed during
March 2025 , driven by record tonnage processed from Akasaba West during the month. The target milling rate of 1,750 tpd from Akasaba West was exceeded during the quarter - Goldex received a new certificate of authorization, increasing the maximum permitted daily processing throughput to 11,000 tpd from 9,500 tpd. While the guidance for the year remains unchanged, this certificate of authorization is expected to provide additional processing flexibility
- At LaRonde, a shutdown is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025 for 10 days to replace the liners at the SAG mill and for maintenance of the drystack filtration plant.
Canadian Malartic has planned quarterly shutdowns in 2025 of four to five days for regular maintenance at the mill

Regional Highlights
- Gold production in the quarter was on target driven by record quarterly production at Macassa, offsetting lower production at
Detour Lake . Gold production at Macassa was higher than planned as a result of higher than anticipated grades from two production stopes. AtDetour Lake , challenging and abnormal weather conditions and rope shovel availability affected the open pit operations inMarch 2025 . The mill replaced the shortfall in ore from the pit with ore from low grade stockpiles which were planned to be processed later in the year, resulting in lower gold grades than planned in the quarter - At Macassa, construction of the new paste plant was 97% complete at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and is on schedule for commissioning in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, underground development at Macassa achieved a record 5,800 metres in the quarter
-
Detour Lake has scheduled major shutdowns, each lasting seven days, for regular mill maintenance in the second and fourth quarters of 2025. Macassa has scheduled a major shutdown of five days for the primary grinding mill liner replacement, the annual overhaul of the crusher and other regular mill maintenance in the fourth quarter of 2025 - Updates on the
Detour Lake underground and Upper Beaver projects are set out in the Update on Key Value Drivers and Pipeline Projects section above

Regional Highlights
- Gold production in the quarter was higher than planned driven by higher gold grades as a result of positive grade reconciliation at Meliadine and Amaruq, as well as a change in mining sequence at Amaruq
- At Meliadine, multiple operational quarterly records were achieved in the quarter, including record underground development of approximately 4,015 metres and record throughput at the mill at 6,200 tpd
- At Amaruq, extraction of some higher-grade areas was accelerated to de-risk gold production in the first half of 2025, in anticipation of the caribou migration and potential operational disruptions
- During the quarter, the Company initiated its annual Caribou Readiness Plan at its
Nunavut operations to prepare for the caribou migration expected in the second quarter of 2025. Caribou migration is factored in the production plan as this migration can affect the ability to move materials on the roads serving the Company'sNunavut mine sites. Wildlife management is a priority and the Company is working withNunavut stakeholders to optimize solutions to safeguard wildlife and reduce production disruptions - Meliadine has scheduled quarterly shutdowns lasting three to six days for regular mill maintenance. Meadowbank has scheduled two major shutdowns, each lasting five days, to replace the SAG and ball mill liners and complete other regular mill maintenance in the second and fourth quarters of 2025

Highlights
- Gold production in the quarter was higher than planned as a result of higher grades due to a change in mining sequence at
Phoenix and higher than expected grades at Harrier, offset by lower mill throughput - During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed rehabilitation work for the underground infrastructure in the Lower Phoenix area which was affected by a seismic event that occurred in
November 2024 . The Company has further enhanced seismic protocols and resumed development and production in the Lower Phoenix in a phased approach - The Company is implementing an upgrade of the primary ventilation system to sustain the mining rate in the Lower Phoenix zones in future years. The development of the long-term ventilation raises was nearly complete at the end of the quarter with the required power reticulation and commissioning of the primary fans scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025

Highlights
- Gold production in the quarter was in line with plan as higher throughput offset lower grades resulting from a change in mining sequence
- The cost performance of the underground mine and mill improved in the first quarter of 2025 when compared to the prior-year period as a result of continuous improvement initiatives implemented, with minesite costs per tonne decreasing approximately 12% from €112 to €99 per tonne. Initiatives that resulted in lower costs included the internalization of work previously completed by contractors and hoisting waste rock via the shaft, which resulted in the reduction in the number of trucks used to haul waste
- Kittila has scheduled a 12 day shutdown for regular maintenance on the autoclave in the second quarter of 2025

Note Regarding Certain Measures of Performance
This news release discloses certain financial performance measures and ratios, including "total cash costs per ounce", "minesite costs per tonne", "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" (or "AISC per ounce"), "adjusted net income", "adjusted net income per share", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital", "cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital per share", "EBITDA" which means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, "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", "sustaining capitalized exploration", "development capitalized exploration" and "net debt", as well as, for certain of these measures their related per share ratios that are not standardized measures under IFRS. These measures and ratios may not be comparable to similar measures and ratios reported by other gold producers and should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. See below for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Total cash costs per ounce and minesite costs per tonne
Total cash costs per ounce is calculated on a per ounce of gold produced basis and is reported on both a by-product basis (deducting by-product metal revenues from production costs) and a co-product basis (without deducting by-product metal revenues). Total cash costs per ounce on a by-product basis is calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of 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 and other adjustments, which include the costs associated with a 5% in-kind royalty paid in respect of certain portions of
Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capabilities of the Company's mining operations. Management also uses these measures to, and believes they are useful 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 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 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 these measures are 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, total cash costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis. Total cash costs per ounce 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.
Minesite costs per tonne are calculated by adjusting production costs as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for inventory production costs and other adjustments, and then dividing by tonnage of ore processed. As the total cash costs per ounce 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.

All-in sustaining costs per ounce
All-in sustaining costs per ounce (also referred to as "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 non-cash expenditures, such as depreciation and amortization. Unless otherwise indicated, all-in sustaining costs per ounce is reported on a by-product basis (see "Reconciliation of Production Costs to Total Cash Costs per Ounce by Mine" for a discussion of regarding the Company's use of by-product basis reporting).
Management believes that AISC per ounce is useful to investors as it reflects total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling an ounce of gold while maintaining current operations and, as such, provides useful 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 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 this measure 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

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are calculated by adjusting the net income as recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income for the effects of certain 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 income for items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains and losses, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, impairment loss charges and reversals, retroactive payments, and income and mining taxes adjustments. Adjusted net income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful to investors in that they allow for the evaluation of the results of continuing operations and in making comparisons between periods. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share 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 useful 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.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income for finance costs, amortization of property, plant and mine development and income and mining tax expense line items as reported in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income.
Adjusted EBITDA removes the effects of certain 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 items such as foreign currency translation gains or losses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments, severance and transaction costs related to acquisitions, revaluation gains and losses, environmental remediation, gains or losses on the disposal of assets, purchase price allocations to inventory, impairment loss charges and reversals, retroactive payments, and income and mining taxes adjustments.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures are useful in that they allow for the evaluation of the cash generating capability of the Company to fund its working capital, capital expenditure and debt repayments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 useful 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.

Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital and its per share ratio
Cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by adjusting the cash provided by operating activities as shown in the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the effects of changes in non-cash components of working capital such as income taxes, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable. The per share ratio is calculated by dividing cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital 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 believes 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. A reconciliation of these measures to the nearest IFRS measure is provided below.
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 condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows.
Free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital is calculated by excluding items such as the effect of changes in non-cash components of working capital from free cash flow, which includes income taxes, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and interest payable.
The Company believes that these generally accepted industry measures 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. Free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital 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 to, and believes it is useful to investors so they can, understand and monitor the cash generating ability of the Company.
The following table sets out a reconciliation of cash provided by operating activities per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows to free cash flow and free cash flow before changes in non-cash components of working capital and to cash provided by operating activities before changes in non-cash components of working capital for the three months ended

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 condensed interim 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; and 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 useful 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. For a reconciliation of operating margin to revenue from operations, see "Summary of Operations Key Performance Indicators".
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures are calculated by deducting working capital adjustments from additions to property, plant and mine development per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows.
Capital expenditures are classified into sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining capitalized exploration, development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration. Sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining capitalized exploration 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 and sustaining capitalized exploration include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations. Development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration 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.
The following table sets out a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining capitalized exploration, development capital expenditures and development capitalized exploration to the additions to property, plant and mine development per the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended

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 condensed interim consolidated balance sheets 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 the future debt capacity of the Company.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
This news release also contains information as to estimated future total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce. The estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce and AISC per ounce 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.
