MERGER OF EQUALS<BR>
TO CREATE HIGHEST-QUALITY SENIOR GOLD PRODUCER</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Toronto (September&nbsp;28, 2021) &ndash; Agnico
Eagle Mines Limited</B> (TSX:AEM, NYSE:AEM) (&ldquo;<B>Agnico Eagle</B>&rdquo; or the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;) and <B>Kirkland Lake
Gold Ltd.</B> (TSX:KL, NYSE:KL, ASX:KLA) (&ldquo;<B>Kirkland Lake Gold</B>&rdquo;) announced today that they have entered into an agreement
(the &ldquo;<B>Merger Agreement</B>&rdquo;) to combine in a merger of equals (the &ldquo;<B>Merger</B>&rdquo;), with the combined company
to continue under the name &ldquo;Agnico Eagle Mines Limited&rdquo;. The Merger will establish the new Agnico Eagle as the gold industry&rsquo;s
highest-quality senior producer, with the lowest unit costs, highest margins, most favourable risk profile and industry-leading best practices
in key areas of environmental, social and governance (&ldquo;<B>ESG</B>&rdquo;). Upon closing of the Merger, the Company is expected to
have $2.3 billion of available liquidity, a mineral reserve base of 48 million ounces of gold (969 million tonnes at 1.53 grams per tonne),
which has doubled over the last 10 years, and an extensive pipeline of development and exploration projects to drive sustainable, low-risk
growth.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Merger will create a best-in-class gold mining
company operating in one of the world&rsquo;s leading gold regions, the Abitibi-Greenstone Belt of northeastern Ontario and northwestern
Quebec (the&nbsp;&ldquo;<B>Abitibi</B>&rdquo;), with superior financial and operating metrics. Consolidation within the Abitibi will also
provide the new Agnico Eagle with significant value creation opportunities through synergies and other business improvement initiatives.
Additionally, the Company is established uniquely as the only gold producer in Nunavut and well positioned internationally with profitable
and prospective assets in Australia, Finland, and Mexico.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The combination of Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake
Gold combines each company&rsquo;s strengths by bringing together two industry leaders in growing per share value in key metrics such
as production, mineral reserves, cash flow and net asset value. Both companies also share a strong commitment to returning capital to
shareholders, with a total of $1.6 billion being returned through dividend payments and share repurchases since the beginning of 2020
(on a <I>pro forma</I> basis).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Under the Merger Agreement, which the Board of
Directors of both companies have unanimously approved, the new Agnico Eagle will be led by a combined board and management team of experienced
mining and business leaders, bringing together the proven cultures, strengths and capabilities of both companies. The transaction is expected
to close in December&nbsp;2021 or in the first quarter of 2022.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kirkland Lake
Gold shareholders will receive 0.7935 of an Agnico Eagle common share for each Kirkland Lake Gold common share held (the &ldquo;<B>Consideration</B>&rdquo;).
The Consideration to Kirkland Lake Gold represents approximately a 1% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average prices on the Toronto
Stock Exchange, as at close of trading Friday September&nbsp;24, 2021 and implies a combined market capitalization of approximately $24
billion. Upon closing, existing Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake Gold shareholders will own approximately 54% and 46% of the combined company,
respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Sean Boyd, Agnico Eagle&rsquo;s Chief Executive
Officer stated, &ldquo;This merger starts a new chapter in Agnico Eagle&rsquo;s 64-year history and creates the leading low risk global
gold company with growing production, low costs and strong ESG leadership. The transaction creates a company with a strong platform of
people, assets and financial resources to continue to build and operate a long term sustainable and self funding business. Kirkland Lake
is an excellent cultural fit with Agnico Eagle, and we look forward to working together to further grow our business through exploration,
mine development and optimization of our high-quality asset base. Over time, we believe that the gold industry will continue to evolve
and consolidate and with this transaction we are well positioned to take advantage of high-quality opportunities and be a true Canadian
mining champion.&rdquo;</P>

transaction that combines the two global gold producers with the best track records for increasing per share value. The deal creates an
industry leader with a dominant position in the Canadian market that is deserving of a premium valuation and is poised to generate superior
long-term shareholder value going forward. The transaction represents a true merger of equals, with the business of both companies to
benefit from the significant financial strength of the merged company, the extensive pipeline of development and exploration projects
to drive future growth, and the potential to realize significant operational and strategic synergies along the Abitibi-Kirkland Lake corridor.
It is the right deal for our company and its shareholders, our people, the communities where we operate, and all of our key stakeholder
groups.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The information in this news release includes
the following non-IFRS financial measures: all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold (&ldquo;AISC&rdquo;) and Adjusted EBITDA. These
financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers, even as compared to other issuers who may also be applying the World Gold Council (&ldquo;WGC&rdquo;) guidelines,
which can be found at <U>http://www.gold.org</U>. Management of Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake Gold believe that the use of these non-IFRS
measures will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the companies in understanding the costs associated with producing
gold, understanding the economics of gold mining, assessing the companies&rsquo; operating performance, the combined company&rsquo;s
ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and to generate free cash flow on an overall company basis, and for planning
and forecasting of future periods. However, AISC does have limitations as an analytical tool as it may be influenced by the point in
the life cycle of a specific mine and the level of additional exploration or expenditures a company has to make to fully develop its
properties. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, analysis of the companies;
results as reported under IFRS. A reconciliation of certain the non-IFRS measures presented in this news release is contained in each
of Agnico Eagle&rsquo;s and Kirkland Lake Gold&rsquo;s most recently filed annual MD&amp;A, which are available under their respective
profiles on SEDAR at <U>www.sedar.com</U>.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The mineral reserve estimates contained in this
news release have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian securities administrators' (the &quot;CSA&quot;) National Instrument 43-101
<I>Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects</I> (&quot;NI 43-101&quot;). These standards are similar to those used by SEC Industry
Guide No.&nbsp;7, as interpreted by the SEC staff. However, the definitions in NI 43-101 differ in certain respects from those under SEC
Industry Guide 7. Accordingly, mineral reserve information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information
disclosed by United States companies. Under the SEC's Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a &quot;reserve&quot;
unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">For United States reporting purposes, the SEC
has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules&nbsp;(the &quot;SEC Modernization Rules&quot;) to modernize the mining property disclosure
requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the &quot;Exchange Act&quot;), which became effective February&nbsp;25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules&nbsp;more closely align the
SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards,
including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry
Guide 7. Issuers must begin to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules&nbsp;in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January&nbsp;1,
2021, though Canadian issuers that report in the United States using the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (&quot;MJDS&quot;) may
still use NI 43-101 rather than the SEC Modernization Rules&nbsp;when using the SEC's MJDS registration statement and annual report forms.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">A mineral reserve is the economically mineable
part of a measured and/or indicated mineral resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the
material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application
of modifying factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The mineral reserves
presented in this news release are separate from and not a portion of the mineral resources.</P>
