Agnico’s strategy to consolidate From Kitco news
Al-Joundi named two criteria for the company's focus on select regions: geological potential and political stability.
"It's always been our strategy to consolidate what we think are the best regions in the world," said Al-Joundi. "Does the region have the geologic potential for multiple mines over multiple decades...and does it have the political stability?"
"Based on those two criteria, arguably the best place [to mine] in the entire world is the Abitibi."
