Market Focus06-18

On June 18, Agnico Eagle Mines rose 3.01% in regular trading, trading at 181.115 USD/share, with turnover of $286 million. The gain was driven by broad strength across the gold sector combined with the imminent completion of the company's acquisition of Rupert Resources.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia previously granted final approval for Agnico Eagle's takeover of Rupert Resources. Under the arrangement, Rupert shareholders will receive 0.0401 of an Agnico Eagle share per share held, plus a contingent value right of up to C$3 in cash tied to milestones over a 10-year period. The transaction is expected to close this week, further expanding the company's exploration and development project pipeline.

Within the Gold sector, the broader group moved higher. Among individual stocks, Wheaton Precious Metals up 3.19%, Anglogold Ashanti up 3.13%, Newmont Mining up 2.63%, Coeur Mining up 1.92%, Barrick Mining Corporation up 1.77%.
