Agnico Eagle Mines is a senior Canadian gold miner engaged in the exploration, development, and production of mineral properties in Canada, Mexico, and Finland
Primarily produces and sells gold deposit, as well as explores for silver, zinc, and copper deposits
Reported 2020 Q3 revenues of $980.6 M, a 29.1% increase over Q3 2019, primarily due to the increase in the price of gold in the quarter
Cash from operations $462.5 M in Q3 and $788.5 M in the first nine months of 2020
Earnings $0.92 cents per share in the quarter
Cash costs were $764 per gold ounce on a by-product basis and AISC stated at $1016 per oz
The company will spend 720-740 M, up from $680 M as it develops the Kittila mine in Finland
All eight of the company’s mines are operating at full capacity
The company offers full exposure to the gold price as it does not sell forward (hedge)
Agnico has an estimated 22 M oz of gold reserves and a resource of 60 M oz
Bottom line:
- A top-rated major Goldminer
- Blow-out quarter
- Nov.9-10 sell-off from US$84.40 to US$73.40 presents a buying opportunity at prices lower than any since July
- Highly recommended
