AEM 2Q releaseBarsele Project Exploration Ongoing to Extend Known Mineralized Zones On June 11, 2015, Agnico Eagle acquired a 55% interest in the Barsele project in Sweden. The Company can earn an additional 15% interest in the project through the completion of a pre-feasibility study. The Barsele property is known to contain intrusive-hosted gold mineralization (the Central, Avan and Skirsen zones), which appears to be similar to the Goldex deposit. The property also hosts gold-rich polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization (the Norra Zone). In 2016, Agnico Eagle completed an initial mineral resource estimate for the Barsele project that outlined total inferred mineral resources (on a 100% basis) of 1.2 million ounces (21.7 million tonnes grading 1.72 g/t gold). In 2017, the $8.8 million exploration drill program is focused on expanding the mineral resources along strike and at depth, and testing the gap between the Central and Avan zones. Drilling at Barsele during the first half of 2017 totaled 24,777 metres (46 holes).
