“Operationally, 2019 is off to a very good start with strong production and cost performance in the first quarter from Goldex, Kittila, Pinos Altos and Creston Mascota. We have also seen significant exploration results from several of our key pipeline projects in the first quarter”, said Sean Boyd, Agnico Eagle’s Chief Executive Officer. “With commercial production expected shortly at Meliadine, and Amaruq on schedule for start-up in the third quarter of 2019, we anticipate higher gold production to result in increased earnings and cash flow in the second half of the year. This should allow the Company to continue to advance its development pipeline, increase financial flexibility and potentially raise dividends”, added Mr. Boyd.

Para el director general de la firma, Gary Goldberg, la estrategia es seguir invirtiendo en expansiones y exploración para impulsar la producción de la próxima generación, además de cumplir con las expectativas de los accionistas.

Mr. Taj Singh, President and CEO of the Company states, “Discovery has renegotiated terms of the Puerto Rico Option Agreement to make it more beneficial to all stakeholders. In addition to spreading the Drill Permit milestone payment over 15 months, we have reduced share dilution and changed the Purchase Option to allow us to spend more exploration dollars on what is most important: drilling. The cost of the Purchase Option is now more in line with the current markets while also allowing the Property Owners to participate in the value of the Company’s other projects through share ownership.”

Richard C. Adkerson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the first quarter, our global team maintained its focus on providing products necessary to support growing economies around the world in a cost-efficient, safe and environmentally responsible manner. Our transition to underground mining at Grasberg is advancing according to plan, and we are encouraged by recent milestones. In North America and South America, we are advancing the Lone Star copper leach project in eastern Arizona and continuing to focus on opportunities to enhance operating performance from existing mines. As we look forward, we are optimistic about the future that our asset base and copper market fundamentals are expected to provide shareholders. Our strategy will continue to focus on maximizing the value of our existing resource base through rigorous cost management, productivity and technology, executing our plan to successfully transition from open-pit mining to large-scale underground mining at Grasberg, generating cash flows to enhance shareholder returns and creating value organically from our large undeveloped resource position.”

“We delivered $349 million in free cash flow in the quarter while meeting production and cost targets on the back of continued operational excellence,” said Gary J. Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer. “This performance gave us the means to deliver superior shareholder value in the form of a special dividend, and to build a stronger future by advancing profitable projects on three continents, and by progressing two historic transactions. Our joint venture in Nevada will generate synergies and create the world’s largest gold mining complex, and our combination with Goldcorp will create the world’s leading gold business as measured by assets, prospects and people.”

“We are encouraged by the progress made at Rainy River during the first quarter as we re-position the operation for efficient and sustainable mining. Over the course of the year, we expect to drive further efficiencies throughout the operation with the objective of delivering free cash flow starting in late 2020,” stated Renaud Adams, CEO. “The New Afton Mine reported another strong quarter of operating results as the team further advanced the development of the C-zone. We are particularly encouraged with the organic growth potential of the D-zone with the first hole of the exploration drilling program intersecting 140 metres of mineralization located 360 metres below the C-zone and a second hole is currently underway.”
