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.
