Sixth Consecutive Dividend

(Montreal, February 17, 2016)  Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (OR:TSX) (“Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to declare a first quarter 2016 dividend of $0.04 per share payable on April 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2016.  This dividend is an “eligible dividend” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Sean Roosen, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Osisko noted:  “We are very pleased to announce our sixth consecutive dividend payment, reaffirming Osisko’s commitment to return capital to our shareholders.  The quality of our world-class assets continues to shine, with our Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty on the Canadian Malartic Mine benefitting from annual records on both ounces produced and tonnes milled at the mine in 2015.  The Corporation also received initial revenue from its NSR royalty on Goldcorp’s Éléonore Mine in December 2015.  We look forward to a strong 2016 with the contribution of these two new Québec gold producers, along with our growing asset base.”
