Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (the “Corporation” or “Osisko”) (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to provide an update on its first quarter 2022 deliveries, sales, cash margins and recent asset advancements.

PRELIMINARY Q1 2022 RESULTS

Osisko earned approximately 18,251 attributable gold equivalent ounces1 (“GEOs”) in the first quarter of 2022. This figure excludes 3,025 GEOs earned from the Renard diamond stream. As expected, production in the first quarter was impacted by the coldest months of the year, which reduced production at the Eagle mine. Production is expected to increase in the coming quarters as that seasonal effect dissipates and as ramp up of the Mantos expansion progresses. In addition, proceeds from the Renard diamond stream are not expected to be reinvested into the bridge loan starting in early May and, as such, revenues will be recognized again as attributable GEOs.

Osisko recorded preliminary revenues from royalties and streams of C$50.7 million during the first quarter and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) of C$3.2 million, resulting in a record quarterly cash margin2 of C$47.5 million, or approximately 94% (97% excluding the Renard diamond stream).

Osisko will provide full production and financial details with the release of its first quarter 2022 results after market close on Wednesday, May 11th, 2022, followed by a conference call on Thursday, May 12th at 8am ET. More details are provided at the end of the release.

Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: “Osisko had a very productive start to the year. We provided our inaugural 5-year growth outlook which highlights excellent organic growth, announced an agreement to acquire a metals stream on the high-grade Trixie Gold Mine in Utah, entered into a binding agreement with Metals Acquisition Corp. on a silver stream on the high-grade CSA mine in Australia, and closed a US$250 million equity financing. We look forward to the Trixie and CSA transactions closing in 2022.

We have previously guided that Q1 GEOs would be lower relative to the remainder of the year as the Eagle operation does not stack ore in the coldest 90 days of the year (January to March) and as other assets ramp up during the year, namely the Mantos expansion, the Ermitaño and Santana start-ups, and the reactivation of the Renard stream in early May. This bodes well for the remainder of the year, as we nonetheless benefitted from a record cash margin in Q1 due to strong gold prices and the inflation-protected nature of our business.”

PORTFOLIO UPDATE

CSA Mine Silver Stream

On March 17th, Osisko Bermuda Limited (“OBL”), entered into a binding agreement with Metals Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”) with respect to a US$90 million silver stream to facilitate MAC’s acquisition of the producing CSA mine in New South Wales, Australia. OBL has also provided MAC with an option to draw up to an additional US$100 million in upfront proceeds through the sale of a copper stream, subject to MAC’s financing needs and the parties finalizing definitive terms and conditions. MAC has granted OBL a right of first refusal to purchase any royalties or streams on any asset owned by MAC for three years following the closing of the transaction.

From 2019 to 2021, average annual payable silver production at the CSA mine was ~431koz, or ~5,600 gold equivalent ounces per year*. The mine has a long track-record of reserve and resource replacement, with greater than 100% of mined reserves having been replaced since 2011. MAC is targeting a mine life of over 15 years from existing drill tested zones, with additional exploration potential from both near-mine and regional targets along a highly prospective geological trend within the 350km² property package. The stream is subject to the MAC transaction closing, which is expected in the third quarter of 2022. For more information, refer to Osisko’s press release dated March 17th, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Canadian Malartic Update

Yamana Gold Inc. and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (together the “Partnership”) have fifteen drills currently operating at site and approximately 137,000 meters of surface and underground drilling is planned to infill and expand mineral resources in 2022. The focus will be on aggressive infill drilling at the East Gouldie deposit to continue the conversion of Inferred mineral resources to Indicated mineral resources and to refine the geological model. Over 50% of the Inferred resource has been drilled to 75 meter centers with selected volumes drilled to 40 meters.

Recent drilling continues to define a second mineralized shear zone, the Titan zone, located parallel to and approximately 350 meters south of East Gouldie, expanding the mineralized footprint and providing a new, little tested target volume adjacent to East Gouldie. Ongoing reserve development and resource expansion is expected to extend the mine life beyond 2039 and highlights the potential for additional underground infrastructure, and hence production.

Osisko holds a 5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on East Gouldie, Odyssey South, East Amphi and the western half of East Malartic and a 3% NSR royalty on Odyssey North and the eastern half of East Malartic. For more information, refer to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s press release dated February 23rd, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Agnico Eagle: Additional Updates

On February 23rd, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) announced global production guidance and noted that the forecast for 2024 does not include potential production upside from pipeline projects such as the AK deposit, the Odyssey internal zones and the Akasaba project at the Goldex mine. Collectively, if developed, these projects could potentially add up to 100,000 ounces of gold production to the 2024 forecast. Osisko owns a 2% NSR royalty on the AK deposit, 2.5% NSR royalty on the Akasaba project and 3-5% NSR royalty on the Odyssey internal zones.

Following its merger with Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., Agnico Eagle now owns the producing Macassa mine and mill and the Holt mining complex (approximately 60 kilometers northeast of Kirkland Lake). Agnico Eagle plans to evaluate the potential to integrate a number of satellite deposits with the existing infrastructure in the region including AK, Upper Beaver, Upper Canada, Anoki-McBean and Bidgood. Osisko owns a 2% NSR royalty on these deposits.

Agnico Eagle also noted that Upper Beaver has the potential to be a low-cost mine with annual production in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold and a moderate initial capital requirement. Agnico Eagle is evaluating various processing options including building a stand-alone mill and tailings facility at the Upper Beaver site or using an existing mill and tailings facility at either the Macassa mine or the Holt mining complex. For more information, refer to Agnico Eagle’s press release dated February 23rd, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Mantos Completes Business Combination with Capstone

On March 23rd, Mantos Copper Limited completed its previously announced business combination with Capstone Mining Corp. to form Capstone Copper Corp. (“Capstone”). Capstone is a mid-tier copper producer with a diversified portfolio of high-quality, long-life operations in the Americas, including the Mantos Blancos copper-silver mine in Chile.

Capstone is currently completing a mill expansion at Mantos Blancos to increase sulphide throughput from 4.5Mtpa to 7.3Mtpa. Construction is complete and ramp-up is well underway. Annual deliveries of refined silver to Osisko over the first five years, once ramp-up is completed, are expected to average approximately 1.3 million ounces. Life of mine payable silver production is expected to total approximately 14.9 million ounces. A phase II expansion study is also underway reviewing the potential for a further throughput expansion from 7.3Mtpa to 10Mtpa.

Osisko holds a 100% silver stream on the Mantos Blancos mine with an ongoing transfer price equal to 8% of the spot silver price. For more information, refer to Capstone’s press release dated March 23th, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com

Victoria Gold Provides Guidance and Exploration Drilling Updates

On March 24th, Victoria Gold Corp. (“Victoria Gold”) announced 2021 production results for the Eagle gold mine, including 164,222 ounces of gold produced, representing a 40% increase in gold production compared to 2020. It also provided 2022 production guidance of between 165,000 and 190,000 ounces of gold.

The first quarter of 2022 should be the lowest quarter in terms of production at Eagle, given its seasonal nature with ore stacking on the heap leach pad curtailed during the 90 coldest days of the year from January to March. This period was also used for a planned six-week maintenance program on the crushing and stacking facilities.

Victoria Gold has initiated ‘Project 250’ aimed at increasing the average annual gold production of Eagle toward 250,000 ounces of gold during 2023. Detailed engineering and procurement of equipment are underway to enable construction to start in the second half of 2022.

On February 28th and March 1st, Victoria Gold announced assay results from the 2021 Dublin Gulch drill program on the Raven and Lynx targets. During the 2021 season, 20,000 meters of diamond drilling were completed across the claim package. The 2021 program successfully doubled the strike length of Raven to ~1.3 km, particularly to the west in an area covered by overlying metasedimentary rocks. Highlighted assay results from the first 19 Raven drill holes include 1.25 g/t gold over 70 meters and 1.74 g/t gold over 15.1 meters. In 2022, Victoria Gold is targeting an inaugural mineral resource estimate for Raven and an additional 20,000 meters of drilling.

Highlighted assay results from the first 6 holes on Lynx include 2.0 g/t gold over 32.3 meters and 3.42 g/t gold over 18.3 meters. Mineralization at the Lynx target resembles the Raven and Nugget deposits, and extends over a strike length of 600 meters while remaining open to the east, west, and at depth.

Osisko holds a 5% NSR royalty on Victoria Gold’s Dublin Gulch project including the Eagle gold mine, and the Raven and Lynx targets. For more information, refer to Victoria Gold’s press releases dated February 28th, March 1st and March 24th, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Reserve Increase from Éléonore

On February 24th, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) reported a mineral reserve increase, net of depletion, of 560,000 ounces of gold at the Éléonore gold mine. Probable reserves now comprise 11.2Mt grading 5.05 g/t for 1.82 million ounces of gold. Newmont reiterated 2022 production guidance at Éléonore of 275,000 ounces of gold.

Osisko owns a sliding scale 2.0% to 3.5% NSR royalty on Newmont’s Éléonore gold mine, with a current rate of 2.2%. For more information, refer to Newmont’s the press release dated February 24th, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Island Gold Expands Resources and Reserves

On February 22nd, Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”) announced that the Island Gold mine mineral reserves and resources increased across all categories, including a 2% increase in mineral reserves and an 8% increase in Inferred mineral resources. An updated mine plan is set to be released mid-2022, incorporating an additional 1.2 million ounces of Inferred resources delineated since the completion of the Phase III Expansion study published in July 2020. The updated mine plan is also expected to incorporate higher-grade material in proximity to the planned shaft bottom earlier in the mine life. This change should contribute to a higher proportion of production coming from areas covered by Osisko’s 3% NSR royalty earlier in the mine plan versus production from areas covered by Osisko’s 1.38% NSR royalty. A total of $22 million is budgeted for exploration at Island Gold in 2022.

Osisko holds a 1.38% to 3% NSR royalty on Alamos’ Island Gold mine. For more information, refer to Alamos’ press release dated February 22nd, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Seabee Mine Life Extended

On February 23rd, SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR”) announced a mine life extension at the Seabee mine to 2028. Seabee has been in continuous operation for 30 years and has a demonstrated track record of mineral reserve replacement that SSR expects to continue into the future. Exploration expenditures will be increased by 20% in 2022, and will focus on Santoy 8, Santoy 9, Gap Hangingwall, Shane, Joker and Porky.

Osisko owns a 3% NSR royalty on SSR’s Seabee Mine. For more information, refer to SSR’s press release dated February 23rd, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

New Lamaque Technical Study Highlights Significant Upside

On February 24th, Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”) released the results of a new technical study for the Lamaque project, including increased gold production to over 190,000 ounces per year based on the Upper Triangle Reserves. The company also highlighted the potential to extend the life of mine by up to an additional 8.5 years at a production rate of approximately 180,000 ounces per year with production from Lower Triangle and Ormaque Inferred resources. These zones have now been evaluated in a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and provide potential for significant production increases and opportunities for resource expansion.

On March 29th, Eldorado announced expansions to the Ormaque zone along strike and at depth, including 18.7 g/t Au over 6.6 meters. An exploration drift is currently being developed to access the upper Ormaque deposit from the Triangle-Sigma decline, which will facilitate a 16,900 meter infill and expansion drill program. Eldorado also announced a 37,000 meter drill program on the Bourlemaque property focusing on the Bevcon and Herbin targets.

Osisko holds a 1% NSR royalty over the Triangle, Plug 4, Parallel and Ormaque deposits, and a 2.5% NSR royalty over the Bonnefond, Bevcon, Herbin and River targets. For more information, refer to Eldorado’s press releases dated February 24th and March 29th, 2022 filed on www.sedar.com. 

Osisko Development Financing, Tintic Acquisition and San Antonio Results

On January 25th, Osisko Development Corp. (“Osisko Development”) announced the proposed acquisition of Tintic Consolidated Metals LLC (“TCM”). On completion of the transaction, Osisko Development will acquire 100% ownership of the producing Trixie Mine, as well as mineral claims covering more than 17,000 acres in Central Utah’s historic Tintic Mining District.
