Hmmm largest miner in Canada … Has great interest in the north, while predominantly gold, may have an affinity for CMs ...from financial post ...we are not Nu but in the same club ...our critical road infrastructure is in place - we are easy compared to NU...
Sean Boyd has spent the past four decades building Toronto-based Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.into Canada’s largest mining company and the world’s second-largest gold miner.....
As sea ice retreats and Arctic waters become more important shipping lanes, Boyd wants to work with the government to develop more infrastructure in the North, saying it would bolster national defence, create the economic conditions for Indigenous reconciliation and facilitate a transition to cleaner energy. Doing so would also open up new opportunities for Agnico to mine gold and critical minerals.
