Osisko Development Corp. Update
Osisko Development announced drill results that help outline the 1.5 kilometres (“km”) long Proserpine zone as another potential mining area in the Cariboo camp. Results include 17.78 g/t gold over 5.6 metres and 8.06 g/t gold over 1.7 metre. There are currently ten surface drills active on the property.
Osisko Development is currently mining underground at the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project and is stockpiling mineralized material at the QR Mill. Processing is set to begin in the second quarter of this year. Osisko Development purchased a new communition circuit designed to process 7,500 tonnes per day for the larger Cariboo project. This critical equipment reduces engineering risk and will help fast track the construction of the processing facilities once all permits are received for the Cariboo project.
At the San Antonio gold project, Osisko Development has completed the engineering and permitting to process the 1.3 million tonnes gold mineralized stockpile via heap leaching. Osisko Development has also entered into an agreement to purchase a semi-portable crushing plant for the San Antonio gold project with capacity of 15,000 tonnes per day.

Notes:
| (1) | Gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements has been converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties were converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements were converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period. |

Although Osisko believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may accordingly differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results deriving from Osisko’s royalties, streams and other interests to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 impacts, the influence of political or economic factors including fluctuations in the prices of the commodities and in value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; regulations and regulatory changes in national and local government, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; whether or not Osisko is determined to have “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatments of offshore streams or other interests, litigation, title, permit or license disputes; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest including, but not limited to development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest, rate, grade and timing of production differences from mineral resource estimates or production forecasts or other uninsured risks; risk related to business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Osisko and exercise of third party rights affecting proposed investments.
