Osisko Intersects 611 g/t Au Over 2.0 Metres At Windfall

Additional High Grade Results from Caribou, Wolf, Zone 27 and Underdog

(Toronto. September 20, 2017)  Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide new results from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned Windfall Lake gold project located in Urban Township, Abitibi, Québec. The recently expanded 800,000 metre drill program combines definition, expansion and exploration drilling in and around the main Windfall gold deposit and in the adjacent Lynx deposit (located immediately NE of Windfall). Significant new analytical results from 42 intercepts in 28 drill holes and wedges focused on infill and expansion drilling in the Underdog, Caribou, Zone 27 and Mallard corridors of the Windfall deposit are presented below.
 
Highlights from the new results include: 611 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (15.4 g/t Au over 2.0 metres cut) in OSK-W-17-913; 297 g/t Au over 2.1 metres (14.5 g/t Au over 2.1 metres cut) in OSK-W-17-862-W1; 120 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (28.7 g/t Au over 2.0 metres cut) in OSK-W-17-871-W1; 60.5 g/t Au over 2.4 metres in OSK-W-17-973; 65.5 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-17-978; and 47.0 g/t Au over 2.3 metres in OSK-W-17-820-W1.

OSK-W-17-842 intersected the CS1 Zone within the Caribou Corridor and returned 14.5 g/t Au over 5.5 metres (including 182 g/t Au over 0.4 metres) (8.90 g/t Au over 5.5 metres cut). Mineralization is composed of 10% pyrite stringers and tourmaline-pyrite veins hosted in a fragmental andesite strongly sericitized, and is 50 metres north-east of OSK-W-16-749 (12.7 g/t Au over 5.4 metres previously reported January 23, 2017).

OSK-W-17-858-W2 intersected three intervals: 8.51 g/t Au over 2.3 metres; 32.6 g/t Au over 2.4 metres (including 76.6 g/t Au over 0.9 metres) and 9.50 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (including 34.5 g/t Au over 0.5 metre). The first interval correlates to the Wolf Zone and is composed of 2% pyrite and carbonate veins in a strongly sericitized felsic dike. The second and third intervals consists of a crustiform quartz carbonate vein in the Red Dog intrusion and in the andesite. Local visible gold, 5% pyrite stringers and tourmaline-pyrite stringers are also observed. The deepest vein is within the FW3 Upper Zone, 25 metres north-east of OSK-OBM-16-697 (29.1 g/t Au over 2.6 metres previously reported May 30, 2017).

OSK-W-17-862 intersected 17.4 g/t Au over 2.9 metres (including 30.8 g/t Au over 1.5 metres). Mineralization is at a contact between a gabbro and rhyolite with up to 4% disseminated pyrite in the silica altered zone. The interval is 30 metres above OSK-W-17-889 (16.2 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in this press release).

OSK-W-17-871 was previously reported on August 1,2017 with a cut value of 13.4 g/t Au over 4.8 metres. Additional analysis was done on the samples greater than 100 g/t and the interval has been recalculated to 17.9 g/t Au over 4.8 metres (including 143 g/t Au over 0.5 metres). The cut value remains unchanged. The mineralized zone is in a bleached to strongly sericitized large quartz-eye felsic intrusion containing 7% pyrite stringers. The intersection is 25 metres north-east of OSK-W-17-901 (16.2 g/t Au over 2.1 metres previously reported August 1, 2017) within the Caribou Corridor.

OSK-W-17-889 intersected 16.2 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (including 58.0 g/t Au over 0.5 metres) in the main Caribou Zone. Mineralization is at a contact between the gabbro and the rhyolite.

OSK W-17-903 intersected 10.7 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (including 37.7 g/t Au over 0.5 metres). Mineralization consists of 2% pyrite stringers, 3% pyrite-tourmaline stringers and 5% disseminated pyrite hosted in silica and sericite altered andesite. The intersection correlates to Zone 27, 45 metres above OSK-W-16-746 (16.5 g/t Au over 3.7 metres previously reported January 5, 2017).

OSK-W-17-968 intersected 5.77 g/t Au over 2.4 meters in Zone 27. Mineralization consists of 3% quartz-tourmaline veins and 5% pyrite stringers in a strongly sericitized felsic dike. This intersection is 15 meters above OBM-16-600 (12.9 g/t Au over 4.2 metres previously reported March 16, 2016).

OSK-W-17-973 intersected two intervals in Zone 27: 60.5 g/t Au over 2.4 metres (including 122 g/t Au over 1.0 metre) (51.6 g/t Au over 2.4 metres cut) and 5.12 g/t Au over 2.1 metres (including 25.2 g/t Au over 0.4 metres). The first interval is composed of semi-massive pyrite in a silica altered porpyritic felsic dike. The second interval is at the contact between two felsic dikes and is composed of 1% pyrite in clusters or stringers.
