Following the acquisition, Agnico Eagle will consolidate an additional 14,819ha of mining claims that covers approximately 35km of strike length along the Cadillac-Larder Lake break in the prospective Val d’Or gold camp.

Agnico Eagle Mines Exploration senior vice-president Alain Blackburn said: “Agnico Eagle has a long history of involvement with Alexandria, both as an equity investor and through the purchase of the Akasaba West property in 2014.

“We believe that the key Alexandria properties are highly prospective and underexplored and could potentially provide future sources of ore at our nearby Goldex mine.”

Alexandria Minerals further advised Agnico Eagle that it has provided notice of the proposal to Chantrell as required by the Chantrell Agreement.
