FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this document has been prepared as at March 31, 2014. Certain statements contained in this document constitute “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward looking information under the provisions of Canadian provincial
securities laws. When used in this document, the words “anticipate”, “expect”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “will”, “planned”, and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements or information.
Such statements include without limitation: statements regarding timing and amounts of capital expenditures and other assumptions; estimates of future reserves,
resources, mineral production, optimization efforts and sales; estimates of mine life; estimates of future internal rates of return, mining costs, total cash costs,
minesite costs, all-in sustaining costs and other expenses; estimates of future capital expenditures and other cash needs, and expectations as to the funding
thereof; statements and information as to the projected development of certain ore deposits, including estimates of exploration, development and production and
other capital costs, and estimates of the timing of such exploration, development and production or decisions with respect to such exploration, development and
production; estimates of reserves and resources, and statements and information regarding anticipated future exploration; the anticipated timing of events with
respect to the Company’s mine sites and statements and information regarding the sufficiency of the Company’s cash resources. Such statements and information
reflect the Company’s views as at the date of this document and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and undue reliance should not be
placed on such statements and information. Many factors, known and unknown could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or
implied by such forward looking statements and information. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; uncertainty of
mineral reserves, mineral resources, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates; uncertainty of future production, capital expenditures, and other costs;
currency fluctuations; financing of additional capital requirements; cost of exploration and development programs; mining risks; community protests; risks associated
with foreign operations; governmental and environmental regulation; the volatility of the Company’s stock price; and risks associated with the Company’s byproduct
metal derivative strategies. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to achieve the expectations set forth
in the forward-looking statements contained in this document, see the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com and included in the Company’s Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company’s
other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any
obligation, to update these forward-looking statements and information. Alain Blackburn, a Qualified Person and the Company’s Senior Vice-President, Exploration,
reviewed the technical information disclosed herein. For a detailed breakdown of the Company’s reserve and resource position see the Company’s Annual
Information Form or Form 40-F.
This document presents estimates of future “total cash cost per ounce”, “minesite cost per tonne”, and “all-in sustaining cost” that are not recognized measures
under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). This data may not be comparable to data presented by other gold producers. These
future estimates are based upon the total cash costs per ounce and minesite costs per tonne that the Company expects to incur to mine gold at the applicable sites
and 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 GAAP measure. A reconciliation of
the Company’s total cash cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cost per ounce, and minesite cost per tonne to the most comparable financial measures calculated and
presented in accordance with US GAAP for the Company’s historical results of operations is set forth in the Company’s annual management’s discussion and
analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2013 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and included in the Company’s Form 40-F (the “Form 40-F”)
available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Canadian securities regulators and the SEC.
The gold production guidance is based on the Company’s mineral reserves but includes contingencies and assumes metal prices and foreign exchange rates that
are different from those used in the reserve estimates. These factors and others mean that the gold production guidance presented in this disclosure does not
reconcile exactly with the production models used to support these mineral reserves.

NOTES TO INVESTORS REGARDING THE USE OF RESOURCES
This document uses the terms “measured resources” and “indicated resources”. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the
SEC does not recognize them. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
This document also uses the term “inferred resources”. We advise investors that while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize it.
“Inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of
an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-
feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited is reporting mineral resource and reserve estimates in accordance with the CIM guidelines for the estimation, classification and reporting of resources and
reserves.
Cautionary Note To U.S. Investors – The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically
and legally extract or produce. Agnico Eagle uses certain terms in this press release, such as “measured”, “indicated”, and “inferred”, and “resources” that the SEC guidelines strictly
prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 40-F and other U.S. filings, which
may be obtained from us, or from the SEC’s website at: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
In prior periods, reserves for all properties were typically estimated using historic three-year average metals prices and foreign exchange rates in accordance with the SEC guidelines.
These guidelines require the use of prices that reflect current economic conditions at the time of reserve determination, which the Staff of the SEC has interpreted to mean historic
three-year average prices. Given the current lower commodity price environment, Agnico Eagle has decided to use price assumptions that are below the three-year averages. The
assumptions used for the mineral reserves estimates at all mines and advanced projects as of December 31, 2013, reported by the Company on February 12, 2014, are $1,200 per
ounce gold, $18.00 per ounce silver, $0.82 per pound zinc, $3.00 per pound copper, $0.91 per pound lead and C$/US$, US$/Euro and MXP/US$ exchange rates of 1.03, 1.32 and
12.75, respectively.
The Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) requires mining companies to disclose reserves and resources using the subcategories of “proven”
reserves, “probable” reserves, “measured” resources, “indicated” resources and “inferred” resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
A mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include
adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A
mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allows for losses that may occur when the material is mined. A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured
mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances, a
measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study.
A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals in or on the
Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics
and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. A measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral
resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the
appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed
and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are
spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities,
shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine
planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed. An
inferred mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and
reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from
locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
A Feasibility Study is a comprehensive technical and economic study of the selected development option for a mineral project that includes appropriately detailed assessments of
realistically assumed mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental considerations together with any other relevant operational
factors and detailed financial analysis, that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified (economically mineable). The results of the study
may reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a proponent or financial institution to proceed with, or finance, the development of the project. The confidence level of the
study will be higher than that of a Pre-Feasibility Study.
The effective date for all of the Company’s mineral resource and reserve estimates in this presentation is December 31, 2013. Additional information about each of the mineral projects
that is required by NI 43-101, sections 3.2 and 3.3 and paragraphs 3.4 (a), (c) and (d) can be found in the Technical Reports referred to above, which may be found at www.sedar.com.
Other important operating information can be found in the Company’s annual information form dated March 21, 2014 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and incorporated in the
Form 40-F available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
The mineral reserve and resource information has been reviewed and approved by Daniel Doucet, Corporate Director, Reserve Development, under the supervision of Alain Blackburn,
Senior Vice-President, Exploration. Both Mr. Doucet and Mr. Blackburn are designated P.Eng. with the Ordre ingenieurs du Quebec and qualified persons as defined by NI 43-101.
