In this final instalment of our “60 on 60” video series, we do one last flash back in time to the early days of Agnico Eagle, learning from the “pros” about the spirit and drive it took to become a major player in the global mining business.

Retiree Bill Sutton remembers there were few comforts and little money, but lots of faith that Paul Penna would achieve his singular vision for the company.

Jack Laquerre recalls his glory days as a drilling champ and how he retired a happy winner, never beaten by his cross-town competition.

Marcel Bordeleau expresses his pride in what Agnico Eagle has achieved over the past 60 years – from the depths of one mine in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec to around the world.

While reflecting on the past, these men also express excitement about Agnico Eagle’s future – knowing that a little competition and a lot of hard work have proven to be a winning combination for Agnico Eagle’s success in the global mining business.

We’d now like to thank you, our readers and viewers, for joining us on our “60 on 60” video journey. We invite you to share the many wonderful stories and experiences we posted about over the last year with your family and friends and don’t forget to use our hashtag #AgnicoEagle60!
