Forward Looking Statements

The information in this document has been prepared as at October 29, 2008. 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 and information include without limitation: statements regarding timing and amounts of capital expenditures and other assumptions; estimates of future reserves, resources, mineral production and sales; estimates of mine life; estimates of future 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 minesites 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; 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 Company's Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 20-F for the

year ended December 31, 2007, 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, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements and information.

Note to Investors Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis 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 non-GAAP 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, 2007, as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators and the SEC.

Global GrowthThree mines now operating. Three new gold mines under construction

AEM’s growth projects 100% owned, with low total acquisition costs

Located in mining friendly regions of low political risk

Each project region has long-term mining camp potential

2008 through 2010 capex estimated at $1.4 billion. Approximately $680 million spent at Sept. 30, 2008. 70% of remainder committed.

Kittilä Mine History

Gold mineralization discovered in 1986 by the Geological Survey of Finland;In April 1998, Riddarhyttan Resources AB purchased the deposit through public tender;Between 1999 to 2005, more than 136,000 metres Exploration Drilling Program to investigate main Suurikuusikko auriferous structure; In 2002, Riddarhyttan granted an environmental permit for mining (open pit and underground) at Suurikuusikko;In 2003, Riddarhyttan granted mining licence and permit for the Suurikuusikko deposit;In 2004, Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited purchased initial interest in Riddarhyttan;From 2004 to 2005, resources increased from 2.0 Moz Gold to 3.7 Moz Gold;In 2005, Agnico-Eagle acquired the remainder of the shares of Riddarhyttan;June 2006, Agnico Eagle announces production decision.September 2008, gold resources and reserves increased to 5.7 Moz

LARGE GREENSTONE BELT

Greenstone Belt extending from the Nowegian coast, through Sweden and Finland and into Russia.

Similar to large greenstone belts in Australia, North America and Africa.

Unexplored compared to other Greenstone Belts.

In spite of this, several notable deposits have been found and mined:

Pahtohavare (Cu, Au)Viscaria (Cu, Au)Kautokeino (Cu, Au)Saattopora (Au 200 000 oz, 3.6 g/t)Pahtavaara (Au 300 000 oz, 3.5 g/t)

Suurikuusikko, in the Kittilä greenstones, is centrally located in the belt.

Anomalous in size - unique
