This was the second single mine bullion coin made entirely from gold sourced from an Agnico Eagle operation – the first being the Meliadine mine coin in 2022.
Detour Lake Mine is located in northern Ontario’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt and is the largest gold-producing mine in Canada – with mineral reserves of 19.9 million ounces and an expected mine life extending beyond 2054.
The coins are currently available at select Costco stores and online.
