Toronto, ON, April 29, 2010 — Today, Q4 Web Systems (Q4), a leading provider of online investor relations (IR) solutions and Virtua Research (Virtua), a developer of web-based interactive research modeling solutions announced a strategic partnership to offer analysts and sophisticated investors the Interactive Analyst Center.

The Interactive Analyst Center was originally designed at the request of Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited with the purpose of providing investors and analysts the most advanced new suite of interactive financials and graphing tools, all embedded in a single, logical location -- the investor section of a company’s website.

“Offering this key audience these new interactive financials and advanced graphing tools sets the new standard for rendering a company’s financial data on their investor website. In the case of Agnico-Eagle, sophisticated investors now have direct access to 5 years of quarterly and annual data including balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, ratios and operating data. They are also able to customize and view charts of virtually any ratio and access referenced filings,” said Darrell Heaps, co-founder and CEO of Q4. “The Interactive Analyst Center is not limited to companies filing in XBRL, ANY company filing financials with the SEC can have their data incorporated, which sets this product apart from others in the market.”

“The Interactive Analyst Center allows us to provide important, relevant information to investors, analysts and other stakeholders in a central, customizable repository. In addition to accessing key financial and operating figures more efficiently, users can graph relevant data directly on the website, while being able to combine multiple metrics on variable timeframes,” stated Dmitry Kushnir, Manager, Investor Relations, Agnico-Eagle. “Working with Q4 and Virtua to bring this project to fruition has been an exceptionally positive experience, as both firms provided invaluable expertise in making the Interactive Analyst Center an informative, useful and comprehensive user experience to our key audience. We hope investors find this research tool effective and look forward to gathering input on how we can continually enhance the usefulness of this product.”
