2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this document has been prepared as at September 20, 2013. 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, cash costs, minesite 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 Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as the Company’s
other filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend,

3. NOTES TO INVESTORS
Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document presents estimates of future “total cash cost per ounce” and “minesite cost per tonne” 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 projects 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 nonGAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of the Company’s total cash 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 notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Information Form and Annual Report
on Form 20-F, for the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators and
the SEC.
Note Regarding Production Guidance
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.

24. NOTES TO INVESTORS REGARDING THE USE OF RESOURCES
Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured and Indicated 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.
Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Inferred Resources
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.
Scientific and Technical Data
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 20-F, which may be obtained from us, or from the SEC’s website at: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml. A “final” or
“bankable” feasibility study is required to meet the requirements to designate reserves under Industry Guide 7.
Estimates for all properties were calculated using historic three-year average metals prices and foreign exchange rates in accordance with the SEC Industry
Guide 7. Industry Guide 7 requires 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. The assumptions used for the mineral reserves and resources estimates at the Lapa, Meadowbank
and Creston Mascota mines and the Goldex and Meliadine projects reported by the Company on February 13, 2013 are based on three-year average prices for
the period ending December 31, 2012 of $1,490 per ounce gold, $29.00 per ounce silver, $0.95 per pound zinc, $3.67 per pound copper, $1.00 per pound lead
and C$/US$, US$/Euro and MXP/US$ exchange rates of 1.00, 1.34 and 12.75, respectively. The assumptions used for the mineral reserves and resources
estimates at the LaRonde, Pinos Altos and Kittila mines and the La India and Tarachi projects reported by the Company on February 13, 2013 were based on
three-year average prices for the period ending June 30, 2012 of $1,345 per ounce gold, $25.00 per ounce silver, $0.95 per pound zinc, $3.49 per pound
copper, $0.99 per pound lead and C$/US$, US$/Euro and MXP/US$ exchange rates of 1.00, 1.30 and 13.00, 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.

25. NOTES TO INVESTORS REGARDING THE USE OF RESOURCES
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 press release is December 31, 2012. 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 Form 20-F and this news
release dated February 13, 2013.
