Agnico-Eagle Mines Establishes US$125M Credit Facility

Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited established a US$125 million credit facility with a syndicate of six banks and financial institutions. The Bank of Nova Scotia is administrative agent for the syndicate. The credit facility was used partly to refinance Agnico-Eagle Mines’ previous credit facility of US$100 million and will be used to finance the company’s ongoing business. The deal closed on November 23, 2001.
