Agnico Eagle Mines' stock surged 5.21% during the pre-market session, as investors reacted positively to a significant capital return announcement from the company.

The Canadian gold producer announced it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to renew its Normal Course Issuer Bid share repurchase program.
