OSISKO INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE AT LYNX

Including 33.5 g/t Au Over 10.5 Metres

(Toronto, December 18, 2019) 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. Twenty-two drills are active at Lynx and Triple Lynx, with another two drills conducting infill and exploration drilling on other areas of the deposit.

Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Lynx and Triple Lynx continue to deliver strong results with infill drilling. We are seeing some wider intervals of high-grade material, which should have a very positive effect on the pending resource update.”

Significant new analytical results from 85 intercepts in 22 surface drill holes, 23 wedges and 2 extension focused on Lynx infill and expansion drilling are presented below. Additionally, 23 intercepts from 14 underground infill drill holes are included in the table below.

Intercepts from new results include: 248 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in OSK-19-1995; 337 g/t Au over 2.2 metres and 56.6 g/t Au over 4.2 metres in OSK-W-19-2120-W2; 174 g/t Au over 2.5 metres in OSK-W-19-2107-W1; 33.5 g/t Au over 10.5 metres in OSK-W-19-1166-W5; 104 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in OSK-W-19-2171; 24.9 g/t Au over 9.0 metres in OSK-W-19-2123-W1; 56.9 g/t Au over 3.8 metres in OSK-W-19-2139-W1; 35.0 g/t Au over 5.6 metres in OSK-W-19-2067-W2; 21.2 g/t Au over 5.5 metres in OSK-W-19-2139 and 54.4 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in WST-19-0249.

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.

OSISKO INTERSECTS 1475 g/t Au OVER 4.6 METRES IN LYNX

(Toronto, December 16, 2019) 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 infill and expansion drilling at the Lynx deposit, exploration on the main mineralized zones, and deep exploration in the central areas of the mineralized intrusive system. Twenty-one drills are active at Lynx and Triple Lynx, with another three drills conducting infill and exploration drilling on other areas of the deposit.

Infill drilling at Lynx has returned the highest-grade metal factor (grade x length) result intersected at Windfall to date of 1475 g/t Au over 4.6 metres in hole OSK-W-19-1731-W2.  This infill hole from the definition program is 50 metres up plunge of OSK-19-2068-W2 (161 g/t Au over 8.0 meters, see Osisko news release dated November 25, 2019) and confirms the high-grade continuity in the Lynx 313 wireframe. The zone remains open down plunge and definition drilling will continue to pursue the open areas.

Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Today’s very impressive results again underscore that Lynx is a well mineralized part of the Windfall system.  Lynx, discovered by Osisko in late 2016, is shaping up to be one of the best new gold discoveries in a long time in Eastern Canada. The recently announced Lynx bulk sample results (see Osisko news release dated December 12, 2019) and our infill drill program are demonstrating the strong continuity of grade inside the known mineralized zones, which remain open down plunge. Our exploration team is excited by the continuing potential of what we feel is an emerging world-class high-grade gold deposit.”

Significant new analytical results in thirteen intercepts from one surface drill hole and six wedges focused on Lynx infill and expansion drilling are presented below.

Maps showing hole locations and full analytical results are available at www.osiskomining.com.

(OSK:TSX “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide new results from the ongoing exploration program at its 100% owned Windfall Lake gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.  Results from processing 5,716 tonnes mined from Lynx (the “bulk sample”) have exceeded expectations, returning an average grade of 17.8 g/t Au. The bulk sample average grade is 89% higher than the 9.40 g/t Au predicted by infill drilling on the Lynx zone 311 resource block model wireframe. Mining of the bulk sample successfully confirmed the presence of mineralization predicted in the resource model, and the analytical results have confirmed the visual mineralization encountered along the stope. Highlights and full results are presented below.

Highlights

  • Average grade of 17.8 g/t Au for the bulk sample is 89% higher than predicted in the 12.5 metre infill drilling block model
  • Higher than anticipated average Au recovery of 97.2% achieved
  • 66.7% of the gold was recovered in the gravity concentrate
  • The sample contained 3,271 ounces Au and 2,176 ounces of Ag

President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “We are highly encouraged with the excellent results from this second bulk sample completed from the Windfall deposit.  The average grade greatly exceeded our expectations based on the infill drilling, returning 89% higher grade than anticipated.   The significant grade increase from the block model appears to correspond well with the very regular visible gold observed in Lynx drilling. The bulk sampling work is greatly helping to build our confidence in the continuity, grade, recoveries and the predictability of the mineralized zones at Windfall.”

Geology

The Lynx zone 311 bulk sample is characterized by an East-North-East sub vertical silica altered corridor with an average width of approximately 2.5 meters. Banded grey quartz veins contain 3 to 15% disseminated pyrite and local visible gold, cross-cutting foliated rhyolite and granodiorite with strong sericite and local fuchsite alteration. The continuous vein system was mapped along sills over three levels.

Processing

A total of 5,716 tonnes were processed in November 2019. The bulk sample test was performed at the Northern Sun Redstone concentrator. Processing produced gravity and flotation concentrates. Ore transportation trucks were sampled for moisture and weighed on a calibrated weight scale. The sample material was crushed and milled to a particle size favorable to the flotation recovery process. Gravity and flotation concentrates produced will be sent to a local smelter for sale. Day and night shift daily composite samples of streams for the reconciliation process were prepared and analyzed by an external independent lab. Concentrate production tonnage and assays were used to reconcile the bulk sample mass balance process in the concentrator. The reconciliation was performed by an external independent consultant using Bilmat (a reconciliation software) on a dry tonnes basis.

The reconciled head grade obtained from the processed sample is 17.8 g/t Au and 11.8 g/t Ag. The sample contained 3,271 oz Au and 2,176 oz Ag, with a total of 3,181 oz Au and 2,052 oz Ag recovered.  Reconciled recoveries are 97.2% for gold and 94.3% for silver. The Preliminary Economic Assessment (or “PEA”, see Osisko news release dated July 17th, 2018) metallurgical test work considered a communition, gravity and carbon in leach process flowsheet, giving an average recovery of 93.8% for Lynx zone. Test mill availability dictated the use of a mill with a communition, gravity and flotation flowsheet. The reconciled results from the processing of the bulk sample material are presented in Table 1 below:

Mill feed tonnages used in the sample processing reconciliation were provided by Northern Sun. Day and night shift daily composite samples collected during the processing of the bulk sample were assayed by external independent laboratories. Bulk sample results were reconciled by Soutex Inc., an external independent consultant using Bilmat.

Block Model

The area mined was located in mineralization wireframe 311 from the Windfall Lynx updated resources block model. The area was prepared for mining with infill drilling at 12.5 metre spacing. The same parameters used in the November 2018 Mineral Resource Estimation (see Osisko news release dated November 28, 2018) were used for an internal update of the resource block model in the bulk sample area. The infill drilling block model predicted 5,717 tonnes at 9.40 g/t Au containing 1,736 ounces of gold inside the excavated area (see Table 2 below).

Concentrates

Both the gravity concentrate and flotation concentrate produced from the sample are considered high-grade. The gravity concentrate averaged 7,020 g/t Au (225.7 oz/T Au), while the flotation concentrate averaged 110.6 g/t Au (3.6 oz/T Au), or respectively CDN$381,464/t and CDN$6,010/t (using US$1300/oz and 1.3 US/CDN exchange rate). Further work will be conducted on the process flowsheet prior to feasibility in light of these high-value numbers.

 Mining and Grade Control

The Lynx bulk sample was mined in wireframe 311 with the long hole mining method proposed in the PEA. Two development drifts were mined conventionally at 20 metre vertical intervals between 210 and 230 meters below surface. A third development drift was mined 20 metres above the stope at 190 meters below surface to confirm grade and continuity of the Lynx 311 wireframe. While mining the development drifts, split blasts of the face were completed to test the width and grade of the mineralization. A V30 borehole was used in the slot raise and two and one-half inch production holes were drilled down and blasted. The blasted ore was retrieved with remote scoop tram equipment and trucked to the mill with muck samples taken.

OSISKO WINDFALL UPDATE ON DISCOVERY 1 DEEP DRILL HOLE

Wide Zones of Anomalous Gold Intercepted As Hole Nears Interpreted Source Area

(Toronto, December 10, 2019) 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 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.

Prior results from Discovery 1 included successful intersections in 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).

Discovery 1 completed approximately 2275 metres before requiring a wedge at 2170 metres to drill past blocked rods.  To date, the hole has progressed to 3225 metres of the planned 3500 metres.

The drill hole has intersected several wide zones of anomalous gold mineralization between 2300 metres – 2900 metres down-hole. Analytical results below 2900 metres are pending. The newly detected anomalous gold zones range up to 116 metres in length, and occur in chlorite, sericite, and biotite altered andesites.  Wide zones of anomalous gold have similarly been observed in the proximity of Triple 8, Triple Lynx, and Lynx zones.

Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Discovery 1 gave early dividends with the discovery of the Underdog and Triple 8 extensions. As we approach the main target depth, these wide intercepts of anomalous gold values are a positive indication that we may be approaching another mineralized zone. We are at the really interesting part of this hole as Discovery 1 continues its voyage to the hypothetical roots and feeder system of the Windfall deposit.”

OSISKO MINING RECAPS WINDFALL DRILL PROGRAM AND 
50 TOP INTERCEPTS

(Toronto, December 9, 2019) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide a recap of the drill program and 50 top intercepts to date at its 100{4a519b2e1b7ee41c07b52bf609655ec62dee46aaa3d3e6dbc7220444390e11ca} owned Windfall gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.

The ongoing drill program at Windfall started in October 2015 and has included over 900,000 metres of reported drilling to date from approximately 3000 holes. An additional approximately 180,000 metres were drilled at Windfall and reported by previous operators, and are included in the database.  Previously released intercepts described in this news release reflect management’s interpretation of the drill results reported to date in news releases of the Corporation, and should be read with reference to the full drill results described in such news releases issued by the Corporation from time to time since October 2015, which are available on SEDAR under Osisko’s issuer profile and on Osisko’s website (https://www.osiskomining.com/news/).

The drill program is focused on infill and expansion drilling of the known mineralized zones, deep exploration in the central areas of the mineralized intrusive system, and general exploration. Currently, there are 21 drills active at Lynx and Triple Lynx, with another three drills conducting infill and exploration drilling on other areas of the deposit.

Presented below are three tables describing the “50 Top Intercepts” from the Windfall drill program, based on: (I) Metal Factor (Grade*Length); (II) Grade; and (III) Length, with a corresponding grade greater than one ounce.

Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “As we approach the completion of drilling that will be included in the February 2020 resource update, we are pleased to review some of the top intercepts returned from Windfall to date.  In the past four years, we have seen high-grade intercepts in all the main mineralized zones and across varying depths in the deposit.  And even after four years and 900,000 metres of drilling, we are still finding new extensions of the mineralized zones, and infill holes continue to return exceptional results.  An example is last Monday’s news release headline intercept (OSK-W-19-991-W8), which is our third longest interval with an average grade over an ounce, and is also in the top 20 by metal factor.  Windfall continues to be an exciting deposit to drill.”

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{4a519b2e1b7ee41c07b52bf609655ec62dee46aaa3d3e6dbc7220444390e11ca} 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{4a519b2e1b7ee41c07b52bf609655ec62dee46aaa3d3e6dbc7220444390e11ca} of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assay.

 

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit

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 news 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 news release are available on Osisko’s website (www.osiskomining.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Osisko’s issuer profile. 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.

OSISKO INTERSECTS 106 g/t Au OVER 13 METRES IN LYNX EXTENSION

(Toronto, December 2, 2019) 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 infill drilling and expansion drilling at the Lynx deposit, exploration on the main mineralized zones, and deep exploration in the central areas of the mineralized intrusive system. Twenty-one drills are active at Lynx and Triple Lynx, with another three drills conducting infill and exploration drilling on other areas of the deposit.

Infill drilling at Lynx Extension has returned one of the highest-grade intervals intersected a Windfall to date, returning 106 g/t Au over 13.0 metres in OSK-W-19-991-W8. A second infill hole in the Lynx Extension (OSK-W-19-1857-W8) returned 62.4 g/t over 5.7 metres. The infill holes from the 50-metre spacing definition program continue to confirm the continuity of the Lynx Extension zone 315 metres down plunge of the nearest resource wireframe (see Osisko news releases dated June 3, 2019, April 16, 2019 and November 27, 2018). The Lynx Extension remains open down plunge, and definition drilling will continue in the open areas.

Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Lynx continues to deliver strong results and is underpinning the high-grade potential of the Windfall deposit. Infill drilling in Lynx Extension is adding good connectivity and meaningful ounces, which should have a positive effect on the upcoming resource update.  Exploration is pursuing the down plunge areas of the Lynx zones, all of which remain open at depth.”

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.

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 Lake Gold Deposit

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.
