2 2 Growth Strategy Building Value Through Production and Reserve Growth Produce more gold targeting over 1.2 million ounces by 2010 Grow gold reserves in mining friendly regions Now 15.4 million ounces Targeting 18-20 million ounces within 20 months Acquire small, think big Create value through strategic acquisitions Be a low cost leader Generate strong earnings and cash flows from low costs operations Maintain a solid financial position Approximately $525 million in cash, no long-term debt

3 Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited3 Corporate Highlights Q1, 2007 - Another Quarter of Strong Cash Flows and Earnings Strong quarterly earnings of $24.9 million or $0.21 per share Strong quarterly cash flow provided by operating activities of $56.1 million Gold reserves increased 23% to 15.4 million ounces from Dec. 31, 2006 Low total cash costs of minus $332 per ounce Four new gold projects under construction, Pinos Altos Board approval expected mid-2007

4 Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited4 Current gold reserves of 15.4 million ounces following successful Cumberland offer AEM’s gold reserves are significantly larger than its intermediate gold producing peers Targeting additional reserve conversion at Pinos Altos, Goldex, Kittila and Meadowbank Strong record of growing gold reserves per share Gold Reserves Anticipating Further Strong Growth In Reserves This Year 3.0 3.3 4.0 10.4 7.9 1.3 Total Agnico-Eagle Gold Reserves (Millions of Ounces) LaRonde Goldex Lapa Kittila Pinos Altos Meadowbank 12.5 Target: 18 - 20 15.4
