Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. Publishes 2023 Asset Handbook Along With 2022 Sustainability Report

05.06.2023  |  GlobeNewswire
MONTRÉAL, June 05, 2023 -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (the "Corporation" or "Osisko") (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to announce the publication of its annual Asset Handbook and the third edition of the Corporation's Sustainability Report, Growing Responsibly.

2023 ASSET HANDBOOK

Osisko has built a deep portfolio of high-quality royalty and streaming assets, located in favourable jurisdictions and operated by responsible mining partners. The royalty and stream portfolio provides exposure to over 180 assets, including over 20 producing assets which underpin Osisko's 2023 guidance of 95,000 to 105,000 gold equivalent ounces1 ("GEOs") at a 93% cash margin2. To this solid foundation, significant organic growth is expected over the coming years, demonstrated by the Corporation's previously announced five-year outlook which projects 130,000 to 140,000 GEOs in 2027.

Osisko's mining partners continue to add value through exploration, with an average of over 1 million meters drilled over the past six years. This ongoing work has unlocked significant upside through new discoveries, reserve and resource additions, as well as mine life extensions and expansions. Over the course of 2022, Osisko's estimate of Attributable GEOs3 in the proven and probable reserve category, net of depletion and covered by Osisko's royalties and streams, increased by 46%; demonstrating the importance of these shared assets to both Osisko and its operating partners.

2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

The 2022 edition of Growing Responsibly, guided by the Global Reporting Initiative, highlights the progress Osisko has made on Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") matters and the Corporation's ongoing effort to enhance transparency and accountability. The following are select highlights:

  • Formalization of an ESG strategy which commits to upholding sustainable business practices and growing responsibly focused on five key pillars:

1) Due Diligence
2) Climate Change
3) Social Contributions
4) Health and Safety
5) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion;

  • Ongoing commitment to the UN Global Compact to formally promote and align with its Ten Principles;
  • Participation in the funding of the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Project, which has the potential to deliver 40,000 blue carbon credits annually to Osisko. The project aims to preserve 22,000 hectares of coastal mangrove forest from nearby shrimp farming and, in doing so, efficiently sequester and store carbon;
  • Expansion of our climate change disclosures including reporting emissions associated with our royalty and stream agreements (financed emissions) and business travel;
  • Expansion of our Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosures; now reporting against two standards, responding to our stakeholders' expectations;
  • Preservation of a leading position within MSCI and Sustainalytics ESG rankings; and
  • New membership with the World Gold Council, highlighting our commitment to responsible gold mining.

In order to continue to shape and expand upon Osisko's focus on ESG initiatives, Heather Taylor has transitioned to a new role as Vice President, Sustainability & Communications. Ms. Taylor's role will now formally include oversight of environmental, social and governance related strategy and disclosure.

Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: "Our 2023 Asset Handbook provides a comprehensive review of Osisko's remarkable asset base and also highlights numerous upcoming catalysts that are expected to support the Corporation's near-term and long-term growth outlook. In our view, long-term value is created and subsequently preserved only as long as Osisko and its partners develop and operate in a responsible manner. In our third edition of Growing Responsibly, we provide a summary of our recent sustainability initiatives, as well as a framework with respect to the Corporation's continued ambitions to improve transparency and accountability. We trust that the Asset Handbook and Sustainability report will assist our stakeholders in understanding the fundamental value of our business, along with our ongoing dedication to sustainability."

1 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

2 Cash margin is a non-IFRS financial performance measure which has no standard definition under IFRS. It is calculated by deducting the cost of sales from the revenues (excluding depletion). For more details, refer to Osisko's Management Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 filed on Sedar (www.sedar.com) and available on Osisko's website (www.osiskogr.com).

3 The Corporation estimates its "Attributable GEOs" by aggregating all of the Reserves and Resources located on claims covered by its royalties and streams. For the purpose of estimating Attributable GEOs, royalty assets are simply calculated as the proportion of ounces eventually payable to Osisko. However, in the case of a stream, the Corporation adjusts for each transfer price, so that the resulting total can be considered on a 100% payable basis. For a detailed breakdown of the mineral Resources and Reserves, and the attributable royalty or stream on individual assets, please refer to the Asset Handbook on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com. Readers are cautioned that the resulting estimates of Attributable GEOs are subject to uncertainty due to a number of factors that are described in the Cautionary Notes section of the Asset Handbook on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com.
