Conventum - Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

"Our gold miners had quite divergent performance, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM) was up 11.4%, but Regis Resources was down 12.9%. They both provided quarterly updates. Regis reported business disruptions due to poor weather, but management maintained its output and cost guidance. It also announced the approval of two underground projects that will add around 25% to production levels from 2027, but they will cost circa AUD 150m. Agnico reported more positive results and reiterated guidance. We have revised our long term gold price and exchange rate assumptions (which remain conservative). On our earnings based models we still view Regis as cheap and Agnico as expensive. But that ignores management, and, to a large extent, growth prospects. And when we consider those factors the equation looks decidedly more balanced. So despite Regis trading at an even larger discount to our valuation we have not bought more, and despite Agnico trading at an even larger premium to our valuation, we have not recently sold any. The Fund’s combined position in these gold miners is 6.6%."
