The Abitibi Greenstone Belt extends from Timmins, Ontario to Val-d'Or, Québec, where several gold mines reported third-quarter results in early November 2026.
Opawica Explorations Inc. holds three exploration properties in the Rouyn-Noranda camp, including the 100%-owned Arrowhead property adjacent to Agnico Eagle's LaRonde Complex.
Opawica's 2022 drilling program at Arrowhead totaled 4,306 metres across 14 holes, with 11 intersecting gold zones grading over 1.0 g/t Au along a one-kilometre strike length.
On November 5, 2026, Opawica began soliciting bids for a planned 10,000-metre drilling program at Arrowhead, with an annual general meeting scheduled for November 25, 2026.
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited reported 814,012 ounces of payable gold production in the third quarter of 2026, with LaRonde producing 77,250 ounces at 3.60 g/t grade.
Agnico Eagle's third-quarter all-in sustaining costs were $1,648 per ounce, free cash flow reached $852 million, & net cash position stood at $3,416 million as of September 30, 2026.
