    Agnico’s 2024 exploration results, and 2025 guidance was announced last night.For Fosterville in 2024, they successfully replaced 86% of mining depletion with new mineral reserves, achieved mainly through infill drilling in Robbins Hill and South Phoenix.

    Talking about the exploration results:
    “At Fosterville in 2024, exploration drilling totalled 69,374 metres split between programs targeting the Phoenix/Lower Phoenix area, drilling in Lower Phoenix focused on the mineralized Cardinal, Swan/Lower Phoenix and Cygnet zones and the Cygnet hanging wall structure. At Robbins Hill, drilling tested the Hoffman and Curie zones, identifying new mineralization south of the main Curie Zone.”

    As far as I can tell this is the first time (or at least its uncommon), that an updated long section for Fosterville/Curie hasn’t been included, they didn’t even include the drill results in the exploration drill collar table…
    All the other updated sections and drill details are there, Detour Lake, Macassa, Hope Bay, Kittila, LaRonde, Odyssey.
    Why not Fosterville. Oversight?...or deliberate?

    Even from the previously released versions (shown below), we know that the resource at Robins/Curie is growing at depth and getting ever-closer to the S2R boundary. So I'd love to know exactly what new drill hits Agnico have in that area from the past year, and where the "new mineralization south of the main Curie Zone" is in the scheme of things.
    Obviously S2 has plenty of other potential targets to focus on at present so this is a watch and wait, and clearly this isn't necessarily a near-term issue for Agnico either.

    But i cant help thinking, the longer this goes, and the more reliance is placed on Curie/Robins Hill for replacing ounces and feeding the Fosterville mill, then you would think this comes into play.
