Agnico Eagle is a gold mining company with mining operations in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico. The Company earns a significant proportion of its revenues from the production and sale of gold. The remainder of revenue and cash flow is generated by the production and sale of by-product metals. The revenue from by-product metals is primarily generated by production at the LaRonde mine in Canada (silver, zinc and copper) and the Pinos Altos mine in Mexico (silver).

The cash flow and profitability of the Company’s operations are significantly affected by the market price of gold and, to a lesser extent, silver, zinc and copper. The prices of these metals can fluctuate significantly and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, four customers each contributed more than 10.0% of total revenues from mining operations for a combined total of approximately 73.8% of revenues from mining operations. However, because gold can be sold through numerous gold market traders worldwide, the Company is not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of its product.

The following table sets out sales to individual customers that exceeded 10.0% of revenues from mining operations:
