Certain statements contained in this presentation 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 securities law and forward looking information under the provisions of Canadian provincial securities laws. When used in this document, words such as “expect”, “will”, “estimated”, “estimates”, “anticipated”, “believe”, “projected” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or information.
Such statements and information include without limitation: statements regarding expectations as to the timing, completion and settlement of the offer to Cumberland’s stockholders; anticipated timing of exploration, development, construction and production of Cumberland’s and Agnico-Eagle’s minesites; anticipated exploration potential and estimated production amounts, including estimates of reserves and resources, estimates of capital expenditures and other cash needs; estimates of mining costs, cash costs and other operating costs and expenses; estimates of mine life; estimates of cash resources; anticipated impact of the acquisition on Agnico-Eagle’s earnings and results of operations; anticipated benefits to Cumberland’s stockholders; and other expected or anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Such statements and information reflect the Company's views as at the date of this presentation 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 and final decisions to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements and information. Such risks include risks relating to acquisitions, including, without limitation, the parties may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the acquisition; the parties may be unable to complete the acquisition or completing the acquisition may be more costly than expected because, among other reasons, conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied; problems may arise with the ability to successfully integrate the businesses of Agnico-Eagle and Cumberland; Agnico-Eagle may not be able to achieve the benefits from the acquisition or it may take longer than expected to achieve those benefits; and the acquisition may involve unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities. Other risks include, but are not limited to, the volatility of prices of gold and other metals; 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; and governmental and environmental regulation. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes To Investors
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 attached hereto and in the Company's Annual Information Form and Annual Report on Form 20-F/A, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as the Company's other filings with the Canadian Securities Administrators and the SEC.

Gold Bull Market Continues
April 9, 2007
“We reiterate that gold is in a secular, not merely cyclical, bull market. Indeed, gold formed a very similar bottom formation in 1999 as the S&P 500 did back in 1982. And, if this plays out like other secular bull markets have in the past –emerging markets, bonds, stocks, oil, real estate – then this is a run that can be expected to last at least another five years and ultimately see bullion break the $1,500/oz barrier.”
- Merrill Lynch North American Economist, David Rosenberg

Gold Equities Expected To Provide Superior Returns
March 30, 2007
“We are reiterating our view, first published nearly two years ago, that gold is in a secular recovery and should remain in a bullish cycle for the remainder of this decade, and possibly longer”
“While we like gold, we believe that gold equities offer the potential for greater absolute returns from current levels.”
