He discusses the company’s US$2.5 billion investment at Hope Bay in Nunavut, the potential impact of faster project reviews and why jurisdictional certainty has become increasingly valuable to global investors.\nThey also dig into what has made Agnico Eagle stand out in the gold industry, from its focus on politically stable mining regions to its balance-sheet discipline and what Al-Joundi calls the company’s “culture of the heart.” He explains why Agnico prioritizes growth on a per-share basis, how it plans to increase production by roughly 20 to 30 percent into the early-to-mid 2030s, and why acquisitions remain a selective part of the strategy.\nPlus, Al-Joundi explains why he remains constructive on gold despite its recent pullback, why he views himself as a “hard asset bug” rather than a gold bug, whether the Bank of Canada could ever buy gold again, and why Agnico Eagle sees a major opportunity in Canadian critical minerals.\nIt’s a conversation about gold, growth and whether Canada’s resource sector is entering a new era.\n\nTimestamps\n00:00 Trailer\n01:42 Intro\n04:07 Agnico Eagle CEO on What the Investment Summit Meant for Canada\n04:56 Why Jurisdiction Matters to Investors\n07:31 Canada’s Economic Shift\n09:12 The Sea Change in Government Support\n11:20 Mining, Defense, and Nunavut Infrastructure\n14:09 Can Canada Approve Projects in One Year?\n16:05 Will New Policies Drive More Investment?\n18:32 What Still Needs to Change in...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/er9NR63MREFV6i2rlZX8f-yMY6gNSK83fNUOzBPoSt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZmQy/OWMwNmEzY2Y0YTg1/NjM4MjQ3Y2NjMWYy/Zjk1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
