The Company controls two of Canada’s past-producing premier zinc mining camps: 1) the Pine Point Mining Camp (“PPMC“), located in the Northwest Territories, for which the recently-released PEA results have indicated an after-tax NPV of $500M and IRR of 29.6%. The PPMC hosts 12.9Mt of Indicated Mineral Resources grading 6.29% ZnEq and 37.6Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources grading 6.80% ZnEq. The PPMC is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, near infrastructure and paved highway access and with 100 kilometres of viable haulage roads already in place. For additional information on the recently-released PEA results on PPMC, please see the news release of Osisko Metals dated June 15, 2020 and entitled “Osisko Metals Releases Positive Pine Point PEA; After-Tax NPV of C$500M and IRR of 29.6%”. 2) The Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC“), located in northern New Brunswick, has Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.96 Mt grading 5.77% zinc, 2.38% lead, 0.22% copper and 68.9g/t silver (9.00% ZnEq) and Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.85 Mt grading 5.34% zinc, 1.49% lead, 0.32% copper and 47.7 g/t silver (7.96% ZnEq) in the Key Anacon and Gilmour South deposits.

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been disclosed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects 43-101 (“NI 43-101“) and was prepared by independent qualified persons (each as defined in NI 43-101). The above-mentioned mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of the reported Inferred Mineral Resources are conceptual in nature and are estimated based on limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological grade and/or quality of continuity. Zinc equivalency percentages are calculated using metal prices, forecasted metal recoveries, concentrate grades, transport costs, smelter payable metals and charges (see supporting technical report for additional details).

Mr. Robin Adair, P.Geo and Vice President Exploration of Osisko Metals, is the “qualified person” (as defined in NI 43-101) who has reviewed and approved of the scientific and technical information in this news release.
