Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: “We achieved record cash margins in the first quarter highlighting the strength of our high-quality asset base coupled with a surge in the gold price. As previously mentioned, GEO deliveries are expected to increase over the course of the year as seasonality impacts dissipate and ramp-ups progress at various assets. We are also excited to announce that stream repayments have been reactivated from the Renard mine, including from a diamond sale in May, and we have received repayment in full of amounts owing on the working capital facility.

Given the current inflationary market dynamics, both globally and specific to the mining sector, we feel Osisko offers a compelling value and growth investment, which is not subject to many of the same inflationary risks.”

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 are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces earned by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements are converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period.

(3) The mining exploration and development segment refers to the mining exploration, evaluation and development segment, which corresponds to the activities of Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries.
   
(4) Non-IFRS Measures
   
  The Company has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including (i) cash margin (in dollars and in percentage) for the royalties and streams segment, (ii) adjusted earnings (loss) and (iii) adjusted earnings (loss) per share. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures 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. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. As Osisko’s operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Company presents cash margins and adjusted earnings as it believes that certain investors use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently.

Cash Margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues)

Cash margin (in dollars) represents revenues from the royalties and streams segment less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) represents the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues from the royalties and streams segment.
