The Northern Miner Podcast - episode 123: Sean Boyd and Agnico Eagle's 'Culture of the Heart'

By Posted John Cumming / November 01, 2018 / www.northernminer.com / Article Link

This episode features Agnico Eagle Mines vice-chair and CEO Sean Boyd in a "fireside" chat with Northern Miner publisher Anthony Vaccaro. The in-depth interview was recorded live on-stage at The Northern Miner's Progressive Mine Forum held at the MaRS Discovery District in downtown Toronto in October 2018.

Sean and Anthony cover a wide range of topics, including: innovation at Agnico's Goldex and LaRonde gold mines in Quebec; what it was like to follow in the footsteps of Agnico founder Paul Penna; how to foster prudent succession and internal promotions; and Agnico's emerging Nunavut operational platform.
