OSISKO STEP-OUT DRILLING EXPANDS HIGH GRADE AT WINDFALL

Including 391 g/t Au Over 2.4 Metres in Triple Lynx

(Toronto, October 7, 2020) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide new analytical results from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned Windfall gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.

Drilling is currently focused on the Lynx deposit. Osisko Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: “Windfall continues to grow in scale with impressive results flowing in from the Lynx deposit.  Today’s new intersections are all from outside the published resource area and include 15 intercepts with uncut average grades of over one oz/t. The ongoing expansion drilling continues to show the incredible upside growth potential of our deposit.”

The table below shows intercepts located outside the February 2020 mineral resource estimate wireframes (see Osisko news release dated February 19, 2020). These intercepts either expand the resource wireframes or are located in a defined zone/corridor but not yet correlated to a specific wireframe. Significant new analytical results are presented below and include 110 intercepts in 43 drill holes and 24 wedges.

Selected high-grade intercepts from the new results include: 391 g/t Au over 2.4 metres, 70 metres toward surface from wireframe Lynx_361, in OSK-W-20-2133-W2; 142 g/t Au over 2.3 metres in OSK-W-20-2307; 86.0 g/t Au over 2.1 metres in WST-20-0341A; 73.8 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in WST-20-0470; 54.4 g/t Au over 4.8 metres in OSK-W-20-2252-W2; and 49.8 g/t Au over 2.2 metres in OSK-W-20-2292.

Lynx Zone

Mineralization occurs as grey to translucent quartz-carbonate-pyrite-tourmaline veins and pyrite replacement zones and stockworks. The vein-type is associated with haloes of pervasive sericite-pyrite ± silica alteration and contain sulphides (predominantly pyrite with minor amounts of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, and pyrrhotite) and local visible gold. Replacement mineralization is associated with strong pervasive silica-sericite-ankerite ± tourmaline alteration and contains disseminated pyrite from trace to 80% with local visible gold. Pyrite stockworks can form envelopes that reach several tens of metres thick. Fuchsite alteration is common and is spatially constrained to near the gabbros. Mineralization occurs at or near geological contacts between felsic porphyritic or fragmental intrusions and the host rhyolites or gabbros and locally can be hosted along the gabbro-rhyolite contact.

 

Caribou Zone

Mineralization most commonly occurs in gold-bearing pyrite stockworks as well as semi-massive pyrite replacement zones associated with phyllic alteration (sericite-pyrite ± silica) with sulphides, pyrite dominated with minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite ranging from trace to up to 20%, and local visible gold. Mineralization is hosted in rhyolites or mafic-intermediate volcanics frequently at or near faults or the contact with felsic porphyritic intrusions.

 

F-Zone

Mineralization is hosted in sheared andesites with carbonate replacement or quartz veining and occurs as quartz ± ankerite veinlets or in shear zones as replacement, characterised by trace to 10% pyrite with local visible gold. Alteration is dominated by sericite-fuchsite-tourmaline-pyrite.

 

Bobcat

Mineralization most commonly occurs in gold-bearing quartz-pyrite veins controlled by northeast trending faults and shears and to a lesser extent in minor crustiform quartz-tourmaline-ankerite-pyrite veins and pyrite replacement zones and stockwork. Mineralization is hosted in sheared mafic volcanics, rhyolites near faults, or at the contact with felsic porphyritic intrusions.

 

Mallard

Mineralization is hosted in sheared mafic volcanics with felsic porphyritic intrusions and occurs as veins associated with sericite-pyrite ± silica ± chlorite alteration and contains pyrite ranging from trace to 30% and local visible gold.

 

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 the news release dated February 19, 2020 and supported by the technical report entitled “An updated mineral resource estimate for the Windfall Lake Project, Located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, Canada” and dated April 3, 2020 (with an effective date of January 3, 2020), 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 the February 19,2020 news release are further described in the full technical report prepared by Micon International Limited (“Micon”) and BBA Inc (“BBA”), in accordance with NI 43-101 available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Corporation’s issuer profile. 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 deformed sub-vertical zones plunging to the northeast. Vein-type or pyrite replacement-type styles of mineralization crosscut syn-volcanic host rocks and syn-deformation felsic porphyry intrusions and are spatially associated with the contacts of the intrusions. 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 MINING CORPORATE UPDATE

(Toronto, September 16, 2020) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX) (“Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide the following corporate update.

Mr. John Burzynski has been appointed as Chairman of the board of directors and remains in his role as Chief Executive Officer and as a director; Mr. Sean Roosen has stepped down from his role as non-executive Chairman of the board and remains in his role as a director; and Mr. Mathieu Savard has been promoted to President.

A graduate of the Université du Québec à Montréal with a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences with over 20 years’ experience in the mining industry, Mr. Savard served previously as Osisko’s Senior Vice-President Exploration.  Prior to joining Osisko Mining in 2016, Mathieu was a senior member of the Osisko Exploration James Bay, Virginia Gold and Virginia Gold Mines teams. Mathieu was a key member of the Virginia team which received the Association de l’Exploration Minière du Quebec (“AEMQ”) Prospector of the Year Award in 2004 and the PDAC’s prestigious Bill Dennis Award in 2006 for the discovery of the Eleonore gold deposit, and along with the Osisko Mining management and exploration team received the AEMQ 2017 Discovery of the Year Award, for the discovery of the Lynx deposit at Windfall.  Mathieu is a registered P.Geo.  as a member of the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and is Chairman of the board and a director of the AEMQ.

Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Corporation John Burzynski commented:  “I would like to thank Sean Roosen very much for his past tenure as Chairman, and for continuing in his role as a director.  I am very pleased to welcome Mathieu as the incoming President of Osisko Mining, and I look forward to him leading our team in the next stages of the work at Windfall, and to making additional discoveries in the coming years.  Our goal on the re-creation of Osisko Mining in 2015 was to discover and develop another world class gold mine in Québec.  We acquired a promising deposit, a district-scale land package, assembled one of the best exploration teams in the business, and commenced one of the world’s largest drill programs at Windfall.  Five years of persistence and hard work have paid off with the discovery of Lynx and the delineation of a world class deposit.

Osisko’s management and Board has had an unusual level of success in the Canadian mining business, leading to the last three world class gold discoveries in Québec (Windfall, Canadian Malartic, and Eleonore).  Our independent Lead Director was additionally responsible for leading the team that discovered the world class Fruta del Norte deposit in Ecuador. All this to say that at Osisko we have a strong and highly experienced Board and management team, one of the finest and most capable technical teams in the business, and one of the most proven track records of gold discovery and value creation for shareholders amongst any of our peers.  I have every confidence that Mathieu’s strong leadership skills will continue to take us to new heights.”

Osisko Mining Provides Ontario Exploration Update

(Toronto, February 13, 2018) Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX) (“Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of exploration at its 100% owned Garrison gold project located in Garrison Township, Ontario.

Osisko has been conducting new exploration and definition drilling at Garrison for 20 months, since early 2016.  As of the end of January 2018, Osisko has completed 85,000 metres of new drilling to complement the pre-existing 108,000 metres drilled at Garrison by previous operators.  The company has re-evaluated previous drilling from the Jonpol Zone, continued resource delineation at the Garrcon Zone and substantially expanding the 903 Zone with exploration drilling in the southwest part of the property.  Dewatering and geological mapping of the Garrcon bulk sample pits was conducted during 2017.  Work is in progress on interpretation of the geological model of the Garrcon and 903 zones, including mineralization controls.

Exploration Budget for 2018:  $3M
Osisko’s 2018 exploration budget for the Garrison deposit totals approximately $3 million.  This includes resource estimation work, additional resource-oriented infill drilling, metallurgical work and exploration drilling on the Garrison property.

Garrison:  Updated Resource Estimation Planned for July 2018
Osisko’s updated resource estimate for the Garrison Project is scheduled to be released in July 2018. 

The Garrison property consists of three mineralized zones with different styles:  the Garrcon Zone is hosted by Temiskaming sediments in the footwall of the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone (PDFZ); the Jonpol Zone comprises 1.7 km of structurally controlled mineralization along the Munro Shear Zone hosted by mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks; and the 903 Zone is hosted by syenite dykes intruding ultramafic rocks along the PDFZ.  The Jonpol and 903 zones remain open to the southwest and northwest respectively. The Garrcon, Jonpol and 903 zones will all be included in the 2018 updated resource.

Property Disposals
Through the course of 2017 Osisko vended the Catharine, DeSantis and Swayze exploration projects to other mining companies. 

President and CEO of Osisko John Burzynski commented: “Although our main focus is on the Windfall project in Québec, Osisko has continued work on the Garrison project, with the goal of updating the resource and improving our understanding of the potential of the Garrcon, Jonpol and 903 zones.  Drilling in 2017 was successful at significantly expanding the size of the 903 Zone.  Our upcoming July resource estimate will include all three zones (Garrcon, Jonpol and 903), and we will continue to evaluate the extensions of known mineralization with exploration drilling in 2018.” 

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this press release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Gernot Wober, P.Geo. VP Exploration Canada for Osisko Mining Inc, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

About the Garrison Project

The Garrison Project area is comprised of 214 mineral claims, 25 mining leases, and 87 patent claims encompassing approximately 8,000 hectares.  Both Garrcon and Jonpol have resource estimates that are described in a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which was completed by a previous operator Northern Gold Mining Inc. (entitled “Technical Report on the Golden Bear Project – Garrison Property: Larder Lake Mining Division, Garrison Township, Ontario, Canada”) dated December 30, 2013, with an effective date of December 30, 2013 (the “Garrison Technical Report”). The Garrison Technical Report was prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited for Northern Gold Mining Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko) and is available on Osiskos website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Northern Gold Mining Inc.s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Resource estimates were conducted by A.C.A. Howe International Limited according to CIM standards. The Garrcon Zone estimates showed 15.1 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.07 g/t Au (521,000 oz) in measured resources; 14.1 million tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au (526,000 oz) in indicated resources; and 1.7 million tonnes averaging 0.72 g/t Au (39,000 oz) in inferred resources. Potential underground resources of 5.1 million tonnes averaging 3.49 g/t Au (577,000 oz) in the inferred category were also outlined. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au for open pit extraction and 1.5 g/t in a bulk underground mining scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

At the Jonpol Zone, resources were estimated as 0.87 million tonnes averaging 5.34 g/t Au (150,000 oz) in the indicated category; and 1.07 million tonnes averaging 5.56 g/t Au (192,000 oz) in inferred resources. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au and assume an underground extraction scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

Readers are cautioned that inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Garrcon Zone

The Garrcon Zone has a shallow plunge eastward along the footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone with the bulk of the resource in the western, more densely drilled area. The zone is exposed at surface and has potential for open pit bulk mining at an estimated overall stripping ratio of 1.8:1. There is potential for additional underground resources below the pit and along the easterly plunge of the zone, which is open for further exploration down dip and along strike.

The Garrcon shaft was sunk in 1935 and 1936 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada (“Cominco”) and the Shaft and South Zones were tested for high grade gold mineralization. Cominco drove approximately 1,430 metres of drifts and cross cuts, mining underground veins. Diamond drilling by Cominco and Lac Minerals Ltd. in the mid-to-late 1980s identified broad sections of low grade mineralization. In 2006-2007, ValGold Resources Ltd. conducted additional drilling confirming these zones. From 2009-2013 Northern Gold Mining Inc. conducted 97,000 metres of diamond drilling which delineated the current resource.

In 2014, Northern Gold Mining Inc. was granted a trial mining permit allowing the extraction of up to 150,000 tonnes. Northern Gold Mining Inc. mined 73,534 dry tonnes which was processed at the nearby Holt mill facility recovering 3,516 oz at an average head grade of 1.55 g/t and recovery of 95.9%.

Jonpol Zone

Jonpol is situated in the Munro Fault Zone, a west striking splay off the north side of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Hosted in a shear zone tens of metres wide in altered mafic volcanic rocks, the deposit consists of four high grade gold mineralized zones (JP, JD, RP and East) over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz carbonate veins, in mafic and ultramafic host rocks, and is associated with intense albite and/or sericite alteration and pyrite mineralization.

In 1997, a 49,087 tonne bulk sample was extracted from the central part of the JP zone by Hillsborough Resources Limited with an average grade of 6.7 g/t which produced 9,476 ounces Au. From 1985-2013, over 130,000 metres of drilling was completed on the property by previous operators. Development work on the JP zone included the sinking of a 184 metre shaft as well as development of a ramp to the 150 metres level with mining on six sublevels. The Jonpol infrastructure underwent reclamation in the late 1990s and was closed out in 2001, but the existing ramp and shaft are preserved.

903 Zone

This third mineralized zone present at Garrison was not included in the resource estimate reported by the previous operator in 2013. Mineralization at the 903 was discovered in 1945 by Wright-Hargreaves Mines Ltd. In 1988 Lac Minerals acquired the claims covering the current 903 Zone and completed 17 drill holes totaling 4,823 metres. The property was optioned in 1990 to Jonpol and T&H Resources and subsequently returned to Lac Minerals in 1991. Northern Gold acquired the claims from a subsidiary of Barrick Gold in 2013, conducting surface exploration and six drill holes.

Osisko Mining Provides Quebec Exploration Update

(Toronto, February 8, 2018)  Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX) (“Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of exploration at its 100% owned Windfall Lake, Urban Barry and Quévillon gold projects located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.

Osisko has been conducting new exploration and definition drilling at Windfall for 26 months, since late October 2015.  As of the end of January 2018, Osisko has completed 518,000 metres of the planned 800,000 metres to complement the pre-existing 180,000 metres drilled at Windfall by previous operators. 

The company is rapidly advancing the Windfall and Lynx deposits through a balance of resource delineation drilling and exploration drilling for extensions and new mineralized zones.  Osisko has been successful in the past two years at significantly expanding the known areas of mineralization in the Windfall system and reinterpreting the geological model of the Windfall deposit.  Drilling over the past 18 months has been directed by the evolving intrusion-related geological model, leading to the discovery of significant extensions of the previously known mineralized zones, and to the discovery of the new Lynx deposit, Wolf and Bobcat zones.

Exploration Budget for 2018:  $100M
Osisko’s 2018 exploration budget for the Windfall/Lynx deposits, Urban Barry and Quévillon project areas totals approximately $100 million.  This budget includes resource estimation work, resource-oriented drilling, exploration ramp and underground bulk sampling of known mineralized zones, metallurgical work, permitting, PEA and feasibility studies, exploration drilling proximal to Windfall and Lynx, and exploration drilling on the greater Urban Barry and Quévillon properties.

Windfall/Lynx:  Initial Resource Estimation Planned for May 2018, PEA Planned for June 2018
Osisko’s initial resource for Windfall is scheduled to be released in early May, a delay of six weeks from the previous Q1 2018 estimated completion, due to the slower than anticipated turnaround of assay data.  Osisko plans to have a Preliminary Economic Assessment completed in June 2018 for the Windfall deposit subsequent to the release of the initial resource estimate.

The main Windfall deposit and the Lynx deposit (discovered by Osisko in early 2017) remain open to the NE and at depth, and surface exploration drilling is continuing.  Newly discovered extensions of the main Windfall deposit (Caribou Extension, Zone 27 Extension, Underdog Expansion), and part of the Lynx deposit and its sub zones below 350 metres depth and further northeast of section 3750E, will not be included in the May 2018 resource estimate, due to lack of adequate drill density.  Infill drilling planned for the balance of 2018 will be focused on these areas, with the aim of including them in a planned Q1 2019 feasibility study.

The Corporation will continue significant exploration drilling at Windfall and Lynx through the balance of 2018 as it moves towards the feasibility study, and will continue drilling at the main Windfall and Lynx deposit to infill and extend the mineralized zones defined to date.

Windfall Exploration Ramp Progress
Dewatering of the historic exploration ramp was completed at the end of August 2017, and rehabilitation of the portal began in September. To date, 1,021 metres of rehabilitation have been completed. The remaining areas of the pre-existing exploration ramp are non-essential and will be rehabilitated as necessary.

The first underground blast was completed in late October (see October 27, 2017 press release). Underground infrastructure completed to date includes 45 metres of development for powder and cap magazines and 48 metres of slashes and safety bays. Three electrical substations have been installed as well as a water basin for future water treatment.

New advance towards the Main Zone commenced in late December, with 136 metres completed to date. The rate of advance is approximately 150 metres per month.  Bulk sampling in Zone 27, Caribou and Underdog is anticipated to occur in Q2 2018, Q3 2018 and Q4 2019 respectively.

Permits for the exploration ramp towards Lynx are anticipated in Q2 2018. Approximately 1,200 metres of exploration ramp extension are planned to reach Lynx.  Bulk sampling in Lynx is anticipated to occur in Q1 2019.

Property Acquisition in Lebel-sur-Quévillon
An alternatives assessment, considering environmental, technical, social and economic factors, has been completed on the location of the potential processing plant for the Windfall Project. The preferred option for the location of the potential processing plant is in the municipality of Lebel-sur-Quévillon (partially on the former Domtar site) and in the territory of Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec. The acquisition of approximately 560 hectares of property is expected to be finalized in Q1 2018. The proximity to a stable workforce and existing infrastructure, including power and water supply with available capacity were important components in the evaluation.

Osborne-Bell:  Initial Resource Estimation Planned for April 2018
Osisko commenced new drilling at the Osborne-Bell deposit with two rigs in early December 2017.  Re-evaluation of the approximately 200,000 metres of historical drilling results from previous operators and the addition of new information from Osisko’s drilling will be used to produce an initial resource, anticipated to be released in early April 2018.  Osborne-Bell is located approximately 20 kilometres northwest of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon.

Exploration Planned for Fox and Black Dog
A review of the exploration work conducted by Osisko in 2016 and 2017 at the Fox and Black Dog discoveries, within the context of the evolving geological model for the main Windfall deposit is currently under way.  New exploration drilling is planned for the two areas in H2 2018.

Exploration on the Urban Barry Block
Osisko has completed base line exploration programs on the Urban Barry block including airborne geophysics, ground geophysics, geological mapping and sampling and basal till sampling, developing a significant number of targets (over 100).  Osisko intends to include exploration drilling on priority targets developed by these base line programs in the course of 2018 work.

Exploration on the Quévillon Block
Osisko acquired the Quévillon Block in early 2017, and commenced the collection of base line exploration data including airborne geophysics, geological mapping and sampling, and basal till sampling.  The continuing work is approximately one-third complete, with several significant exploration targets already developed from both historical drilling and the new information collected.  Osisko intends to include exploration drilling on priority targets developed by these programs in the course of 2018 work.

President and CEO of Osisko John Burzynski commented: “We have been moving the Windfall project forward at a very quick pace since our first work started in late 2015.  We have added significant shareholder value through our substantial drilling and exploration programs at Windfall, with the discovery of the Lynx deposit and new previously unknown extensions of the main Windfall zones.  We plan to continue the fast pace of work on all of our projects in 2018 with over 20 active drills, and are eagerly anticipating the release of our first resource estimate for Windfall-Lynx in early May.  We will prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment for Windfall-Lynx for June 2018 following the anticipated resource estimate, and will continue our exploration of the deposits through surface drilling and the progression of the exploration ramp, with the goal of moving to a feasibility study for Windfall in early 2019.  Property-wide exploration on our bank of existing targets will also resume in 2018, with the goal of adding new discoveries to our growing inventory of “drill bit success” at Windfall.  We will have another very busy year, with an exploration budget of approximately $100 million, and will continue to be the most active explorer in Québec in what we believe is a new developing mining camp.”

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The mineral resource defined by the previous operator comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748.000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

(Toronto, December 19, 2017) Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) (the “Corporation” or “Osisko“) today announces its intention to implement a normal course issuer bid program to purchase for cancellation, from time to time over a 12-month period, common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares“) listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) in an aggregate amount of up to 10% of the public float of the Corporation (the “NCIB Program“). The commencement of the NCIB Program is subject to TSX approval.

Any repurchases under the NCIB Program will be made in Canada through the facilities of the TSX. Osisko will pay the prevailing market price at the time of purchase.

Osisko Commences Drill Program At Osborne-Bell

(Toronto, December 14, 2017)  Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce it has commenced drilling with two drill rigs on its 100% owned Osborne-Bell gold deposit located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Quévillon Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay Region, Québec. Located 17 kilometres northwest of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon and 112 kilometres west of the Windfall Lake gold deposit, Osborne-Bell is part of Osiskos Quévillon Project, which consists of a 2160 square kilometer land package hosting approximately thirty known gold showings.  A map showing the location of the deposit and project is posted on our website at www.osiskomining.com.

The 50,000 metre drill program will re-evaluate the historical Osborne-Bell resource, and test regional exploration targets on the Quévillon Project.  The Osborne-Bell deposit has seen significant historical drilling, which Osisko intends to re-log as part of the ongoing program.

The Company is also currently completing a 27,000 kilometre high-definition magnetic survey and 5,400 kilometre V-TEM airborne survey over the Quévillon Project.

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Mathieu Savard, B.Sc., P.Geo. (OGQ 510), Vice President Exploration – Québec, who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

About the Osborne-Bell Gold Deposit
The Osborne-Bell gold deposit is located 15 km north-west of Lebel-sur-Quevillon and 115 km to the west of the Windfall Lake gold deposit. A resource estimate was completed by Maudore Minerals Ltd on the Osborne-Bell gold deposit on October 26, 2012 (see press release on October 29, 2012 at www.sedar.com) which refers to an indicated mineral resource of 8,463,800 Tonnes at 2.0 g/t Au for 546,299 oz and an inferred mineral resource of 8,115,800 Tonnes at 4.8 g/t Au for 1,258,990 oz. During the acquisition of the Osborne-Bell gold deposit from Deloitte Restructuring in March 2017, Osisko had access to confidential information indicating that the historic mineral resource estimate for the Osborne-Bell gold deposit could possibly be significantly reduced. Osisko intends to explore the Quevillon project and unlock the potential of the newly acquired Quevillon project as well as the Osborne-Bell gold deposit.

For further details regarding the 2012 mineral resource estimate, key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources presented in respect of the Osborne-Bell Gold Deposit of the Comtois Property, please see the ” 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate – Osbell Deposit, Comtois Property”, dated effective date October 26, 2012 and filed on SEDAR on December 7, 2012 under the issuer profile of Maudore Minerals Ltd at www.sedar.com.
