The Bill Dennis Award goes to the exploration team who discovered the East Gouldie gold deposit at Agnico Eagle Mines' (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM) Canadian Malartic mine in Quebec's Abitibi region, just west of Val-d'Or. The Canadian Malartic General Partnership, a 50-50 joint venture between Agnico Eagle and Yamana Gold made the discovery in 2018, before Agnico and Pan American Silver (TSX: PAAS; NASDAQ: PAAS) acquired Yamana last year.
