Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented on the activities of the third quarter of 2021: “In the third quarter, our royalty and streaming business continued to generate record revenues and operating cash flows led by our core assets. Ramp up at the Eagle gold mine progressed successfully, hitting records for total material mined, ore stacked and gold produced. At Mantos Blancos, we forecast an imminent increase in deliveries as the debottlenecking project concludes. Exploration and development activities at the Malartic underground project are exceeding our expectations. The recent proposed merger between Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake also unlocks interesting synergy potential for our 2% NSR royalties in the region (including Upper Beaver and Amalgamated Kirkland). Overall, Osisko continues to benefit from meaningful positive catalysts across our portfolio of assets.”

Osisko Development Update

Cariboo Gold Project

Osisko Development has drilled approximately 150,000 metres, of its planned 200,000 metre 2021 program, to expand and delineate the known and new vein corridors and deposits of the Cariboo gold project. Management of Osisko Development believes that it has completed sufficient drilling for a mineral resource update to be used towards a feasibility study in the first half of 2022. Exploration during the quarter was focused on the expansion of the Lowhee Zone and further delineation of the Valley, Mosquito and Shaft deposits. The Cow Mountain Underground Bulk Sample Permit was received in July 2021 and bulk sample activities are anticipated in 2022 now that the underground portal is complete.

Bonanza Ledge Phase II Project

Osisko Development started mining operations at its Bonanza Ledge Phase II project in the first quarter of 2021. The project is a small scale and short life operation, which allows Osisko Development to facilitate (i) opportunities for managing historical reclamation obligations inherited by the company, (ii) hands on training and commissioning of the company’s mining and processing complex for the Cariboo gold project and (iii) maintain the economic and social benefits for the First Nations partners and communities.

In the third quarter of 2021, Osisko Development incurred an impairment charge of $22.4 million on the Bonanza Ledge Phase II project, triggered by continuing operational challenges leading to lower production and revenues than originally planned.

San Antonio Gold Project

Approximately 11,800 metres of infill drilling was completed during the third quarter at the San Antonio gold project in Sonora, Mexico, and 22,724 meters year-to-date. First drill results from the project are pending. Osisko Development is planning to commence processing, via heap leach, of the 1.1 million tonne stockpile in November. Permitting for production, via heap leach, of the Sapuchi oxide mineralization is also on schedule and granting of the permit is anticipated in the first half of 2022.

The stockpile inventory was revalued at its net recoverable amount during the third quarter following a decrease in the gold price and an increase in the expected processing and transportation costs, resulting in an impairment charge of $11.0 million.

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.

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures including “Adjusted Earnings” and “Adjusted Earnings per basic share” to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. “Adjusted earnings (loss)” is defined as “Net earnings (loss)” adjusted for certain items: “Foreign exchange gain (loss)”, “Impairment of assets”, including impairment on financial assets and investments in associates, “Gains (losses) on disposal of exploration and evaluation assets”, “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments”, “Share of loss of associates”, “Deferred premium income on flow-through shares”, “Deferred income tax expense (recovery)” and other unusual items such as transaction costs. Adjusted earnings (loss) per basic share is obtained from the “adjusted earnings (loss)” divided by the “Weighted average number of common shares outstanding” for the period.

Forward-looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (together, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

In addition, statements relating to gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), especially as they relate to production guidance for 2021, are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the GEOs will be realized. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "is expected" "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations (including negative variations of such words and phrases), or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions, events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, the performance of the assets of Osisko, including exploration results from other properties over which Osisko holds an interest, Osisko’s ability to seize future opportunities including as a result of its increased financial flexibility and the ability of Osisko Development to achieve the objective of its 2021 exploration and delineation program to successfully expand and delineate the known and new vein corridors and deposit at the Cariboo gold project, and the successful performance of regional greenfield exploration work along the Burns, Yanks and Shaft deposits, the timely development of the Cariboo gold project and timely completion of the related feasibility study, the achievement of the goals pursued by Osisko Development in mining the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 deposit.

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. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; Osisko’s ongoing income and assets relating to the determination of its PFIC status, no material changes to existing tax treatments; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
