The LaRonde Mine is a gold mine 62 kilometres (39 mi) west of Val-d'Or in Quebec, Canada.
LaRonde began commercial mining operations in 1988.[1] The LaRonde mining complex has 3.8 million ounces of gold in provable and probable reserves.[1] Previous operations at the LaRonde complex used open-pit mining methods. Presently, operations are primarily underground. The mine's Penna shaft – completed in March 2000 – has a depth of 2,250 metres.[2]
It is expected that the mine will continue operations until 2030.[1]
LaRonde Zone 5 mine[]
The LaRonde Zone 5 mine (LZ5) was acquired by the company in 2003 and began commercial operation in June 2018 after approval for development in February 2017. The LZ5 mine was integrated into the LaRonde Complex in 2020. Agnico Eagle reports that LZ5 has provable and probable reserves of 788,000 ounces of gold.[1]
