Cascadia Announces Strategic Exploration Alliance, Earn-In Agreement and Equity Investment with Agnico Eagle

March 30, 2026

March 30, 2026 – Vancouver, BC – Cascadia Minerals Ltd. (“Cascadia”) (TSX-V:CAM) (OTCQB:CAMNF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic alliance agreement (the “Strategic Alliance Agreement”) with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) (TSX: AEM) (NYSE: AEM), pursuant to which the parties have established a multi-year strategic alliance (the “Strategic Alliance”) for the identification and advancement of gold-copper exploration properties in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane. Cascadia and Agnico Eagle have also entered into an earn-in agreement (the “Catch Earn-In Agreement”), under which Agnico Eagle may earn an interest in Cascadia’s Catch Property (the “Catch Earn-In”). Concurrently with the entering into of these agreements, Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire securities representing an ownership interest in Cascadia of approximately 19.90% on a partially-diluted basis. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are stated in Canadian dollars.

Highlights

1. The Strategic Alliance will focus on gold and copper exploration in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane, which extends into Yukon from British Columbia’s Golden Triangle and is a highly prospective and underexplored target area for gold-copper porphyry mineralization;
2. A minimum of $500,000 per year of generative exploration will be funded by Agnico Eagle through the Strategic Alliance;
3. Cascadia’s Macks, Milner, Byng and Mars properties, as well as 2,834 claims recently staked by Cascadia, will be explored as part of the Strategic Alliance;
4. The Catch Earn-In Agreement provides Agnico Eagle with the right to earn up to an 80% interest in Cascadia’s Catch Property by funding $30 million in work expenditures over a six-year period;
5. Up to $5 million in exploration funded by Agnico Eagle is planned for the 2026 field season under the Strategic Alliance and the Catch Earn-In; and
6. Equity issuances for an aggregate of $8.9 million, including a $7.6 million equity investment by Agnico Eagle for 19.90% ownership interest in Cascadia (on a partially-diluted basis) will provide Cascadia with additional working capital and support the acceleration of exploration at Cascadia’s 100%-owned Carmacks Property, which Cascadia will continue to advance in parallel with the Strategic Alliance.

Cascadia’s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Downs, commented: “We are delighted to partner with Agnico Eagle to explore the Stikine Terrane in Yukon, which we believe offers the potential for significant new discoveries. The Strategic Alliance will allow us to capitalize on our first-mover status in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane while advancing our flagship Carmacks Property. With a recently completed staking program, Cascadia now controls over 800 km2 of highly prospective ground which will be explored through the Strategic Alliance. Agnico Eagle’s equity investment will provide us with additional working capital and allow for work at Carmacks to be accelerated, while the Strategic Alliance and Catch Earn-In will allow our Stikine Terrane projects to be advanced with minimal dilution to Cascadia shareholders.”

Strategic Alliance

Under the terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, Agnico Eagle will provide annual funding over an initial three-year period for generative exploration work performed by Cascadia, as operator, within the Stikine Terrane in Yukon (the “Exploration Area”).

Following initial work, projects within the Exploration Area may be designated by either party (each such project, a “Designated Project”) to be the subject of further exploration under an earn-in agreement. Each such earn-in agreement will provide Agnico Eagle with the right to earn a 51% interest in the Designated Project by funding work expenditures of $3 million over a three-year period. Upon any exercise by Agnico Eagle of its right to earn an interest in a Designated Project, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into a joint venture agreement which will provide, among other things, Agnico Eagle with the right to earn an additional 29% interest in such Designated Project (for a total interest of 80%) by funding work expenditures of $12 million over a further three-year period.

Funding for staking and other acquisitions on behalf of the Strategic Alliance will be provided by Agnico Eagle outside of Agnico Eagle’s annual commitment to fund generative exploration. Cascadia will act as the initial operator of the Strategic Alliance and any Designated Project.

Cascadia recently staked 2,834 new claims in Yukon’s Stikine Terrane which will be explored by the Strategic Alliance. These new claims comprise expansions of Cascadia’s Macks, Milner, Byng and Mars properties, as well as four new properties, Bunker Hill, Hilo, Hyde and Mustard. The Catch Property is subject to a separate earn-in agreement which is described below.

Catch Earn-In Agreement

The Catch Earn-In Agreement provides Agnico Eagle with the right to earn a 51% interest in Cascadia’s Catch Property by funding exploration expenditures totaling $10 million over a three-year period, with a minimum of $1 million in expenditures committed to be spent by December 31, 2027.

Upon exercise by Agnico Eagle of its right to earn an interest in the Catch Property, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into a joint venture agreement which will provide Agnico Eagle with the right to earn an additional 29% interest in the Catch Property (for a total interest of 80%) by funding exploration expenditures of $20 million over an additional three-year period. Cascadia will act as the initial operator under the Catch Earn-In Agreement. The exercise of Agnico Eagle’s right to earn an interest in the Catch Property is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Equity Investment and Flow-Through Offering

Concurrent with the execution of the Strategic Alliance Agreement and the Catch Earn-In Agreement, Agnico Eagle agreed to acquire 19,315,300 units of Cascadia (the “Subscribed Units”) at a price of $0.26 per Subscribed Unit for total gross proceeds of $5,021,978 pursuant to a non-brokered private placement (the “Equity Investment”). Each Subscribed Unit will consist of one common share of Cascadia (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.32 per Warrant for twenty-four (24) months following closing. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscribed Units will be used for general working capital and to fund exploration activities at the Carmacks Project.

In connection with its agreements with Agnico Eagle, Cascadia will issue 10,000,000 critical minerals flow-through units (“CFT Units”) to arms’ length subscribers (the “Flow-Through Participants”) at a price of $0.384 per CFT Unit for total gross proceeds of $3,840,000 (together with the Equity Investment, the “Offering”). Each CFT Unit will consist of one flow-through Common Share (a “CFT Share”) and one-half of one Warrant. Cascadia understands that Agnico Eagle has agreed to acquire the securities underlying the CFT Units from the Flow-Through Participants.

The CFT Units (including the CFT Shares and Warrants underlying the CFT Units) will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”). The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the CFT Units will be used for “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures”, as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the “Qualifying Expenditures”). The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred in connection with critical minerals exploration at the Carmacks Property on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced to the Flow-Through Participants with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CFT Units.

No finders’ fees will be paid on any portion of the Offering. Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities of Cascadia issued as part of the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing of the Offering. Following the closing of the Offering, Agnico Eagle will own 29,315,300 Common Shares and 14,657,650 Warrants, representing approximately 14.21% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 19.90% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of the Warrants held by Agnico Eagle at such time).

The Offering is expected to close on or about April 17, 2026, and is subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Upon closing of the Offering, Cascadia and Agnico Eagle will enter into an investor rights agreement pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will be entitled to certain rights, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings or top-up its holding in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rataownership in Cascadia or acquire up to a 19.99% interest in Cascadia, on a partially diluted basis; and (b) for so long as Agnico Eagle holds an interest in Cascadia of at least 5.0% (i) the right, but not the obligation, to nominate one person (and in the case of an increase in the size of the board of directors of Cascadia to eight or more directors, two persons), to the board of directors of Cascadia, and (ii) a right of first offer over any transfer by Cascadia of all or any portion of Cascadia’s Carmacks Project.

About Cascadia

Cascadia’s flagship asset is the 180 km2 Carmacks Project, located within central Yukon, Canada, 35 km southeast of the past producing Minto Mine. The road-accessible Carmacks Project has a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource containing 651 Mlbs of copper and 302 koz of gold (36.3 million tonnes grading 0.81% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, 3.23 g/t silver and 0.01% molybdenum) or 1.07% copper equivalent. A 2023 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated positive economic potential, with a $330.1 M post-tax NPV (5%) and 38% after-tax IRR at US$4.25/lb copper and US$2,000/oz gold. Planning is underway for a fully-funded 15,000 m diamond drill program commencing in spring 2026, focused on expanding the existing resource at Carmacks.

Cascadia is also exploring the Stikine Terrane in Yukon for new gold-copper porphyry discoveries through its Strategic Alliance with Agnico Eagle. The Stikine Terrane extends into Yukon from British Columbia’s Golden Triangle and is a highly prospective target area for gold-copper porphyry mineralization. While the expression of the Stikine Terrane in British Columbia has been explored in detail – resulting in numerous discoveries – its expression in Yukon is comparatively underexplored and not well understood. Cascadia’s alliance with Agnico Eagle includes a total of 9 properties, including the Catch Property, where Cascadia confirmed a new porphyry discovery in 2023

Ordentliche Korrektur.

Agnico Eagle announced today that it has acquired 662,780 common shares ("Common Shares") of Maple Gold Mines at C$2.45 per Common Share (the "Share Purchases") for total consideration of C$1,623,811 from several sellers that participated in an offering of flow-through Common Shares undertaken by Maple immediately prior to the Share Purchases.

On September 9, 2025, Agnico Eagle filed an early warning report disclosing that it owned Common Shares and common share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant") representing approximately 15.38% and 16.32% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted and partially-diluted basis, respectively. Thereafter, Maple completed certain dilutive securities issuances which reduced Agnico Eagle's ownership interest, immediately prior to the Share Purchases, to approximately 12.90% and 13.71% on a non-diluted and partially-diluted basis, respectively. Following the Share Purchases, Agnico Eagle owns 8,716,825 Common Shares and 586,619 Warrants, representing approximately 12.98% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 13.73% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by Agnico Eagle and after giving effect to all other security issuances completed by Maple concurrently with the Share Purchases.

Agnico Eagle and Maple are party to an investor rights agreement dated October 13, 2020, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle is entitled to certain rights, provided Agnico Eagle maintains certain ownership thresholds in Maple, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings in order to maintain its pro rata ownership in Maple at the time of such financing or acquire up to a 19.9% ownership interest in Maple; and (b) the right (which Agnico Eagle has no present intention of exercising) to nominate one person (and in the case of an increase in the size of the board of directors of Maple to eight or more directors, two persons) to the board of directors of Maple.

Agnico Eagle acquired the Common Shares as part of its strategy of acquiring strategic positions in prospective opportunities with high geological potential. Depending on market conditions, strategic priorities and other factors, Agnico Eagle may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Shares or other securities of Maple, or dispose of some or all of the Common Shares or other securities of Maple that it owns at such time.

Zitat von KMST: ich persönlich bin von der divi enttäuscht.

da war durch die blume, in diversen interviews und über das ganze jahr hin, mehr angekündigt worden.

operativ aber weiterhin stark, ausblick in line.

gefühlt denke ich aber bei dem ausblick das es dieses oder nächstes jahr eine übernahme gibt.

das loch bis zur produktionststeigerung in 2030 ist gefühlt zu groß.

16 quartale jetzt immer die selben zahlen melden und nur vom spotpreis abhängig zu sein ist schwierig zu vermitteln.

Agnico Eagle Mines is very well positioned to pursue acquisitions if the right opportunity emerges, CEO Ammar Al-Joundi said Friday, signaling a renewed openness to dealmaking after a longtime focus on raising production from existing mines.

"We are willing to move... when we see an opportunity on the M&A side that actually creates value per share," the CEO said on Agnico Eagle's earnings conference call, according to Bloomberg, adding that the company has a "very good understanding of the various assets out there."

Al-Joundi told Bloomberg last year that the company was focused on internal growth and warned about "irresponsible M&A" just because of high gold prices, but on Friday's call, the CEO said assets with strong exploration potential would offer the most high-value opportunities.

"What would really interest us - and what has really driven us for external M&A - has really been exploration upside," Al-Joundi said.

ich würde eine Übernahme in Australien favorisieren. In Victoria (Fosterville) sind sie schon gut vertreten. Ich finde die Region ist ein " The Place To Be" .

Na ja, AEM ist mit ca.38 Mio Aktien zu je 0,60 Can$ bei Goldquest eingestiegen. Kurs von GQC im Augenblick bei 2,25 Can$.

Hast du eine Liste von Firmen, die der Eagle übernehmen könnte / sollte?

Ich denke, dass im aktuellen Kurs schon viel Gold Hype vorweggenommen wird.

So ist es Senna, wegen einer Dividende lockt man zur Zeit kaum jemanden in einen Rohstoffwert. Der lineare Anstieg bei Agnico in den letzten Jahren ist nahezu eine sichere Bank und schlägt jede Dividende. Voraussetzungen sind: Sentiment kippt nicht und der Goldpreis bleibt auf einem ähnlichen Niveau.😉

EPS übertrifft Schätzungen um 0,08 $ - Umsatz besser als erwartet

Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) hat im vierten Quartal ein EPS von 2,70$ gemeldet, 0,08 $ mehr als die Analystenschätzung von 2,62$.

InvestingPro bewertet die Finanzlage von Agnico Eagle Mines auf der Grundlage aktueller Finanzkennzahlen als "sehr gut".

@Goldrausch

Danke für die Zusammenstellung

unterscheiden tu ich mich zu Dir aber in den Punkt

das man die Divi nicht zu sehr erhöht und damit lieber den Kurs unterstützt - diese Vorgehensweise ist mir immer lieber

am liebsten wäre es mir aber das man auch mehr Geld in die Exporer , sprich möglichen Resourcen stecken

Zitat von Goldrausch2025: Vorschau Q4/25

📢 Konsensschätzung 2,64$

📢 dies entspricht in etwa einem adj. Gewinn von rund 1,33 Mrd. $

📢 im Vorquartal lag der adj. Gewinn bei 1,085 Mrd. $ bzw. EPS 2,16$

Q4/25

💎 adj. EPS 2,70$

💎 adj. Gewinn 1,352 Mrd. $

📢 FY25 Produktion 3,447 Moz Gold zu AISC 1339$/oz

📢 FY26 Ausblick 3,3-3,5 Moz Gold zu AISC 1400-1550$/oz

Insgesamt wieder sehr gute Zahlen von AEM.

Von den 2,1 Mrd. $ operativen Casf-Flow wurden 1,05 Mrd. $ für Investitionen genutzt, sodass der Free Cash Flow bei rund 1,06 Mrd. $ lag.

Davon wurden u.a. 374 Mio. $ für Aktienrückkäufe und 185 Mio. $ für Dividendenzahlungen verwendet. Damit war das Volumen für Rückkäufe im vierten Quartal doppelt so hoch wie die Dividendenausgaben. Die Erhöhung der Dividende von 0,40 auf 0,45$ finde ich zu gering.

Offenbar liegt bei Agnico mehr der Fokus auf Aktienrückkäufen, welche in 2026 bis zu einem Volumen von 2 Mrd. $ durchgeführt werden könnten.

EPS 3,04 $, adjusted 2,70$

Free cash flow 1,31 Mrd. $

läuft, würde ich sagen.

2,64$ sollten zu toppen sein, ich rechne mit 2,75-2,80$. Hoffe, das zieht dann morgen auch die anderen Miner mit nach oben. Den realisierten Goldpreis würde ich um die 4100 erwarten, so dass wir aktuell nochmal 800$ höher stehen. Habe die heutige Schwäche nochmal genutzt, um Newmont longs aufzustocken.

Heute kommen die neuen Zahlen

Vorschau Q4/25

Ich bin seit fast zwei Jahren an Bord und bleibe noch länger. Sehe noch einiges an potential bei der Aktie, insbesondere durch den enormen Cashflow in den nächste. Quartalen.
Die Erhöhung Produktion, Dividensteigerungen, Aktienrückkaufprogramme und gegebenenfalls kluge Übernahmen sprechen für weiter steigende Kurse auch wenn der Goldpreis seitwärts laufen sollte.
Mittlerweile wünsche ich mir, dass der Goldpreis eine Pause einlegt, damit die Minenaktien in der Bewertung mal hinterherkommen.

Danke für das Video. Vor allem hat er den Silbercrash vom Freitag gut erklärt und wieso die Mär, dass sei wegen der Ernennung von Warsh gewesen, völliger Unsinn ist. Für mich eine schöne Gelegenheit, hier "günstig" einzusteigen. Nun ist aber doch die Frage, wann steigt man wieder aus? ;-)

Im Video hat er schlüssig dargelegt, dass das Sentiment unverändert positiv ist und es sieht ja sogar nach V-Erholung aus. Nur wie weit wird es denn nun gehen?

Wenn ich hier nach den Kurszielen von Gold frage, dann sagen bestimmt alle hier "to the moon" ;-)
