OSISKO EXTENTION AND INFILL DRILLING INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE AT LYNX AND TRIPLE LYNX
948 g/t Au Over 2.4 Metres
360 g/t Au over 2.1 Metres
(Toronto, March 9, 2020) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide new drilling results from the ongoing definition and expansion drill program at its 100% owned Windfall gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.
The program is currently focused on the Lynx deposit, exploration on the main mineralized zones, and deep exploration in the central areas of the mineralized intrusive system. Nineteen drills are active at Lynx and Triple Lynx.
Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “This first major set of new drill results following, and not included in, last month’s mineral resource estimate update continues to show high-grade results from Lynx in both infill and expansion holes. The drilling demonstrates very good potential for further growth of scale and grade at Lynx. While the focus of the drill program is on resource definition, the exploration team is excited about targeting several key areas of the Lynx deposit for growth potential, in particular a down-plunge projection where we believe Lynx Extension and Triple Lynx zones may intersect.”
The first results table below lists expansion intercepts located outside the February 2020 mineral resource estimate wireframes (see Osisko news release dated February 19, 2020). The second table shows infill intercepts designed for resource definition. Significant new analytical results from 173 intercepts in 57 drill holes, 31 wedges, and 3 extensions of previously completed holes are presented below.
Selected high-grade intercepts from new results include: 948 g/t Au over 2.4 metres in OSK-19-2226; 360 g/t Au over 2.1 metres in OSK-W-19-2164; 72.0 g/t Au over 5.1 metres in OSK-W-19-2197-W1; 139 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-20-1104-W7; 71.2 g/t Au over 3.4 metres in OSK-W-19-1731-W4; 113 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in WST-19-0266; 19.0 g/t Au over 11.2 metres in OSK-W-19-2100-W5; 58.4 g/t Au over 3.2 metres in OSK-W-19-2123-W3; 92.6 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-19-991-W9; 51.0 g/t Au over 3.2 metres in WST-19-0198 and 41.1 g/t Au over 3.5 metres in OSK-W-19-991-W10.

Lynx Zone
Mineralization in the Lynx zone is typically characterized by trace to 15% disseminated, clustered or stringer pyrite (locally up to 70%), local visible gold, trace to 3% sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and galena, local ptygmatic pyrite-tourmaline or tourmaline veinlets, quartz-carbonate veins (locally crustiform), smoky quartz veins and veinlets, and local chlorite-calcite or quartz-carbonate chlorite fracture filling. Alteration consists of weak to strong sericite, weak to strong silica with areas of local pervasive silica flooding, weak to moderate chlorite and carbonate, and locally weak to strong fuchsite. Mineralization is hosted in or at the contacts of felsic porphyritic or fragmental intrusions with rhyolites, andesites (locally bleached), or gabbros.
Triple Lynx Zone
Mineralization in the Triple Lynx zone is typically characterized by trace to 30% disseminated, clustered or stringer pyrite, local visible gold, trace sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and galena, local quartz-tourmaline veins (up to 20%), local ptygmatic tourmaline veins, and local smoky quartz and quartz-carbonate veins. Alteration consists of weak to strong sericite, weak to strong silica with areas of local pervasive silica flooding, weak to moderate chlorite and carbonate, and locally weak to strong fuchsite. Mineralization is hosted in or at the contacts of felsic porphyritic dikes with rhyolites (locally bleached) or gabbros.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Louis Grenier, M.Sc.A., P.Geo. (OGQ 800), Project Manager of Osisko’s Windfall Lake gold project, who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).
Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
True width determination is estimated at 55-80% of the reported core length interval for the zone. Assays are uncut except where indicated. Intercepts occur within geological confines of major zones but have not been correlated to individual vein domains at this time. Reported intervals include minimum weighted averages of 3.0 g/t Au diluted over core lengths of at least 2.0 metres. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at (i) ALS Laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Sudbury, Ontario or Vancouver, British Colombia, or (ii) Bureau Veritas in Timmins, Ontario. The 1-kilogram screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. Selected samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for QA/QC purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assay.
About the Windfall Gold Deposit
The Windfall gold deposit is located between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, Canada. The mineral resource defined by Osisko, as disclosed in this news release and assuming a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t, comprises 4,127,000 tonnes at 9.1 g/t Au (1,206,000 ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 14,532,000 tonnes at 8.40 g/t Au (3,938,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category. The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resource estimate disclosed in this news release, certain of which are described in this news release, will be further described in the full technical report being prepared for this updated mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101, and will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation’s issuer profile within 45 days. The Windfall gold deposit is currently one of the highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada and has world-class scale. Mineralization occurs in three principal zones: Lynx, Main Zone, and Underdog. Mineralization is generally comprised of sub-vertical zones following intrusive porphyry contacts plunging to the northeast. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 1,200 metres and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 2,000 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth.

OSISKO WINDFALL RESULTS FROM DISCOVERY 1 DEEP DRILL HOLE
Highly Anomalous Mineralization at Depth
1.04 g/t Au Over 191 metres Including 10.1 g/t Au Over 2.5 metres
(Toronto, February 25, 2020) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK: TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update on the Discovery 1 (OSK-W-19-1970) drill hole. Discovery 1 is a 3467 metre drill hole, the longest diamond drill hole in Canada, which successfully intersected the targeted down plunge extensions of two known gold zones and investigated the projected source area of the Windfall deposit at depth.
Prior results from Discovery 1 include the successful intersection of the targeted Underdog Zone (500 metre extension: 14.1 g/t Au over 2.1 metres) and Triple 8 Zone (100 metres extension: 9.58 g/t Au over 7.6 metres) (see Osisko news release dated September 11, 2019). Discovery 1 also intersected wide anomalous gold zones including 116 metres of 0.46 g/t Au (see Osisko news release dated December 10, 2019). Similar wide anomalous gold zones have been observed in the proximity of Triple 8, Triple Lynx, and Lynx zones.
Previously reported intersection 1.05 g/t Au over 96.0 metres (see Osisko news release dated January 29, 2020) has been extended by new analytical results to 1.04 g/t Au over 191 metres, including a high-grade intersection of 10.1 g/t Au over 2.5 metres. The intersection begins at 3139 metres down hole and now ends at 3330 metres. All analytical results for Discovery 1 have been received. Mineralization, up to 3% pyrite and pyrrhotite, occurs in biotite, chlorite, and sericite altered mafic volcanics with occasional felsic volcanics and local felsic porphyritic intrusions. The high value intercept is within a breccia textured interval with an increased intensity of carbonate alteration in fracture filling.
Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Discovery 1 has been a great success for Osisko. We are very pleased to have intersected the down plunge extensions of known zones, especially Underdog. This 500 metre extension provides us with a high potential zone ready for infill drilling to continue to grow our world class deposit. The wide zones of anomalous gold interspersed with high-grade intervals throughout the bottom half of the hole are a strong indication the Windfall gold system is extensive. We are planning a down hole IP geophysical survey to further investigate the potential for new Lynx-like zones nearby.”

John Burzynski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Osisko, commented: “We have been confident since Osisko discovered Lynx in 2016 that we had another world-class gold deposit developing at Windfall. The number of ounces and average grade at Lynx has continued to increase as we advance the resource infill drilling. Recent Lynx bulk sample results (see Osisko news release of December 11, 2019) also showed reconciliation significantly exceeding predicted block model grades and returned higher than anticipated gold recovery. Strong potential for expansion remains in the known Lynx zones, the majority of which are open along strike to the northeast and down plunge below 1,200 metres. The Triple 8 discovery, at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth, was not included in the current mineral resource estimate but hosts excellent potential to add significant ounces with additional drilling.”
Located in Québec, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world, this mineral resource estimate moves Windfall to world-class status in terms of scale and grade. Osisko has recently completed 1 million metres of drilling at Windfall, including the longest diamond drill hole in Canada which has shown strong indications that the Windfall gold system extends to depths beyond 2.5 kilometres.
Mr. Burzynski continued: “We have advanced the Windfall Project rapidly over the course of the past four years. It’s worth noting that members of our management, board and technical team have collectively worked on three world class gold deposits discovered in Québec over the past fifteen years – Canadian Malartic, Éléonore, and now Windfall. I am exceedingly proud of our exploration and engineering teams, technical and non-technical employees and contractors, and wish to thank them for their dedicated work on the Windfall Project. We are grateful to our Cree First Nation partners for their warm welcome and assistance in our work on their traditional territory and look forward to advancing the Windfall Project with them. I also wish to thank all of our stakeholders and shareholders for their ongoing strong support.”
This mineral resource estimate is the result of 2,941 drill holes (1,101,008 metres) in the resource area, including 2,280 drill holes (918,273 metres) completed by Osisko from October 2015 to January 3, 2020. The Windfall mineral resource estimate (with an effective date of January 3, 2020) was prepared by Osisko and reviewed and audited by Micon International Limited, Toronto, Ontario. The full technical report, which is being prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI43-101”), will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation’s issuer profile within 45 days.
Drilling continues at Windfall with 19 rigs focusing on measured and indicated mineral resource conversion for the planned feasibility study. Additional drills are dedicated to exploring down plunge extensions of Lynx, exploring the nearby Fox deposit, and regional target evaluation. The exploration ramp is advancing to provide additional access for underground infill drilling, and pending permit approvals, the collection of a third bulk sample deeper in the Lynx area.
This mineral resource estimate reflects the current status of the geological interpretation supported by infill drilling, underground mapping and bulk sample results. Most mineralized envelopes in the Main zone are associated with pyritic stringers occurring near contacts between volcanic rocks and younger intrusive rocks. The Lynx mineralization zones form an extensive anastomosed network of quartz-rich and pyrite-rich veins hosted within strongly silicified volcanic rocks. This system is located on the southern limb of an open fold plunging at 40 degrees towards ENE along the Bank fault-shear zone. The resource estimation includes a total of 292 mineralization zones defined by individual wireframes with a minimum true thickness of 2.0 metres. The resource reports grade blocks inside volumes potentially mineable by underground methods at a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t Au.

Windfall Gold Deposit Mineral Resource Estimate Notes
- The Windfall mineral resource estimate is compliant with the November 29, 2019 CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (as defined below).
- Resources are presented undiluted and in situ and are considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Isolated and discontinuous blocks above the stated cut-off grade are excluded from the mineral resource estimate. Must-take material, i.e. isolated blocks below cut-off grade located within a potentially mineable volume, were included in the mineral resource estimate.
- As of January 3, 2020, the database comprises a total of 2,941 drill holes for 1,101,008 metres of drilling in the area extent of the mineral resource estimate, of which 2,280 drill holes (918,273 metres) were completed and assayed by Osisko. The drill hole grid spacing is approximately 25 metre x 25 metre for infill drilling and larger for extension drilling.
- All core assays reported by Osisko were obtained by analytical methods described below under “Quality Control and Reporting Protocols”.
- Geological interpretation of the deposit is based on lithologies, mineralization style, alteration and structural features. Most mineralization envelopes are subvertical, striking NE-SW and plunging approximately 40 degrees towards the North-East. The 3D wireframing was generated in Leapfrog Geo, a modelling software, from hand selections of mineralization intervals. The mineral resource estimate includes a total of 292 tabular, sub-vertical gold-bearing domains defined by individual wireframes with a minimum true thickness of 2.0 metres.
- Assays were composited within the mineralization domains into 2.0 metres length composites. A value of 0.00125 g/t Au (¼ of the detection limit) was applied to unassayed core intervals.
- High-grade composites were capped. Cappings were determined in each area from statistical studies on groups of zones sharing similar mineralization characteristics. Cappings vary from 15 g/t Au to 130 g/t Au and are applied using a three-step capping strategy where the capping value decreases as interpolation search distances increase.
- Five (5) block models were produced using Datamine™ Studio RM Software. The models are defined by parent cell sizes of 5 metres NE, 2 meters NW and 5 metres height, and sublocked to minimum subcell sizes of 1.25 meters NE, 0.5 metres NW and 1.25 metres height.
- Ordinary Kriging (OK) based interpolations were produced for each area of the Windfall gold deposit. Estimation parameters are based on composite variography analyses.
- Density values of 2.8 were applied to the mineralized zones.
- The Windfall mineral resource estimate is categorized as indicated and inferred mineral resource as follows:
- The indicated mineral resource category is manually defined and encloses areas where drill spacing is generally less than 25 metres, blocks are informed by a minimum of two drill holes, and reasonable geological and grade continuity is shown.
- The inferred mineral resource category is manually defined and encloses areas where drill spacing is less than 100 metres, blocks are informed by a minimum of two drill holes, and reasonable, but not verified, geological and grade continuity is observed.
- The mineral resource is reported at 3.5 g/t Au cut-off. The cut-off grade is calculated using the following economic parameters: gold price at 1,325 US$/oz, exchange rate at 1.30 USD/CAD, 93% mill recovery; selling cost at 5 C$/oz, 2% NSR royalties, mining cost at 100 C$/t milled, G&A cost at 30 C$/t milled, processing cost at 40 C$/t, transportation cost at 2 C$/t considering mill at site, and environment cost at 4 C$/t.
- Estimates use metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). Metal contents are presented in troy ounces (metric tonne x grade / 31.10348).
- Micon International Limited is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political or marketing issues, or any other relevant issue, that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.
- These mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this news release are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as indicated or measured mineral resources, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to these categories.

About the Windfall Gold Deposit
The Windfall gold deposit is located between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, Canada. The mineral resource defined by Osisko, as disclosed in this news release and assuming a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t, comprises 4,127,000 tonnes at 9.1 g/t Au (1,206,000 ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 14,532,000 tonnes at 8.40 g/t Au (3,938,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category. The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resource estimate disclosed in this news release, certain of which are described in this news release, will be further described in the full technical report being prepared for this updated mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101, and will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation’s issuer profile within 45 days. The Windfall gold deposit is currently one of the highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada and has world-class scale. Mineralization occurs in three principal zones: Lynx, Main Zone, and Underdog. Mineralization is generally comprised of sub-vertical zones following intrusive porphyry contacts plunging to the northeast. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 1,200 metres and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 2,000 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Estimates of Mineral Resources
This news release uses the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources as a relative measure of the level of confidence in the resource estimate. Readers are cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and that the economic viability of resources that are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated. The mineral resource estimate disclosed in this news release may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. The mineral resource estimate is classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s “CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves” incorporated by reference into NI 43-101 (“CIM”). Under NI 43-101, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for preliminary economic assessments. Readers are cautioned not to assume that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically.

OSISKO COMPLETES DISCOVERY 1 DEEP DRILL HOLE
Longest Diamond Drill Hole in Canada, Additional High Values Intercepted
(Toronto, January 29, 2020) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide a summary on the Discovery 1 (OSK-W-19-1970) drill hole. Discovery 1 was a planned 3000 metre to 3500 metre deep drill hole, designed to target two down plunge extensions of known gold zones and investigate the projected source area of the Windfall deposit at depth. The working model for the Windfall deposit interprets an outer shell and centre of a possible porphyry intrusion feeding the Windfall-Lynx gold system.
The final length of Discovery 1 was 3467 metres, becoming the longest diamond drill hole in Canada, and achieving a vertical depth of 2700 metres from surface. Analytical results from the final 200 metres are at the laboratory, results are pending. The hole was drilled from surface to 3149 metres with NQ rods and finished with BQ rods. New results are presented in the table below. The high value results are similar to those intersected in the Windfall and Lynx deposits, hosted in volcanics and felsic intrusions. The last three high value intervals are hosted in a wide anomalous gold zone. Discovery 1 ended in biotite and chlorite altered mafic volcanics with felsic porphyritic intrusions.
Prior results from Discovery 1 include the successful intersection of the targeted Underdog Zone (500 metre extension: 14.1 g/t Au over 2.1 metres) and the Triple 8 Zone (100 metre extension: 9.58 g/t Au over 7.6 metres) (see Osisko news release dated September 11, 2019), and the intersection of several wide zones of anomalous gold mineralization ranging up to 116 metres in length, similar to the wide anomalous gold zones observed in the proximity of Triple 8, Triple Lynx, and Lynx zones (see Osisko news release dated December 10, 2019).
Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Discovery 1 is a great success and achievement. We are very proud of our Osisko team and Major Drilling for their tremendous work completing this hole. Successes include the discovery of the Underdog and Triple 8 extensions, the wide intercepts of anomalous gold values similar to those observed in the Lynx system, and now these new high value gold intercepts at depth. These results of the Discovery 1 hole show that the Windfall system is extensive with substantial room for potential growth.”

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Louis Grenier, M.Sc.A., P.Geo. (OGQ 800), Project Manager of Osisko’s Windfall Lake gold project, who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).
Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
True width determination is estimated at 55-80% of the reported core length interval for the zone. Assays are uncut except where indicated. Intercepts occur within geological confines of major zones but have not been correlated to individual vein domains at this time. Reported intervals include minimum weighted averages of 3.0 g/t Au diluted over core lengths of at least 2.0 metres. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at (i) ALS Laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Sudbury, Ontario or Vancouver, British Colombia, or (ii) Bureau Veritas in Timmins, Ontario. The 1-kilogram screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. Selected samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for QA/QC purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assay.

The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The mineral resource defined by Osisko, as disclosed in the Windfall Lake Technical Report (as defined below) and November 27, 2018 Lynx resource update, comprises 2,874,000 tonnes at 8.17 g/t Au (754,000 ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 10,352,000 tonnes at 7.11 g/t Au (2,366,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category. For details regarding the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources presented in respect of the Windfall Lake gold project, please see the technical report entitled “Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Windfall Lake Project, Windfall Lake and Urban-Barry Properties” and dated June 12, 2018 (effective date of May 14, 2018), which has been prepared by InnovExplo Inc. from Val-d’Or, Québec (the “Windfall Lake Technical Report”) and the press release “Osisko Releases Mineral Resource Update for Lynx” dated November 27, 2018, which has been prepared by Osisko and reviewed and approved by Micon International, Ltd. from Toronto, Ontario. The Windfall Lake Technical Report and press release are available on Osisko’s website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Osisko’s issuer profile at www.sedar.com. The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. Mineralization occurs in four principal zones: Lynx, Zone 27, Caribou and Underdog. All zones comprise sub-vertical lenses following intrusive porphyry contacts plunging to the northeast. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 900 metres and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 2,000 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth.
