Agnico Mines was founded in 1957. The same year that Sputnik was launched, the Frisbee made its debut, and John Lennon first met Paul McCartney. In 1972, Agnico Mines merged with gold exploration company Eagle Gold Mines Limited to form Agnico-Eagle Mines.
In 2007, Agnico-Eagle is an international growth company focused on gold. We mine one of Canada’s largest gold deposits, and we have promising projects moving forward in Canada, Mexico, and Finland. We owe our success to the hard work and vision of five decades’ worth of Agnico-Eagle employees and investors. We know how much we owe them, and look forward to building on their legacy over the next 50 years.
