Select Asset Updates

Canadian Malartic Underground Construction Progress

Agnico Eagle and Yamana have commenced construction of the Odyssey Project at the Canadian Malartic mine. The preliminary economic assessment published on SEDAR estimates 545,000 ounces of gold per annum from 2029 to 2039, thereby extending the life of mine of our cornerstone asset for decades to come. The ramp and underground project are on schedule with approximately 362 linear metres of development completed in the first quarter of 2021, reaching a depth of 74 metres below surface. Shaft preparation work is underway and construction on the headframe foundation is expected to start in the second quarter of 2021.

At the Odyssey Project, a 970-metre step-out drill hole has intersected the eastern down plunge extension of the East Gouldie Zone. This hole intersected 2.7 g/t gold over 10.9 metres, including 3.1 g/t gold over 7.2 metres at approximately 1,995 metres depth (Figure 1). This new intercept is located within the boundaries of Osisko’s 5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty and suggests that the current mineral resources at East Gouldie could be expanded significantly down-plunge towards the east. Drilling is also underway to infill the East Gouldie Zone to 75-metre spacing. Highlights from this program include: 6.3 g/t gold over 22.6 metres at 1,482 metres depth and 3.7 g/t gold over 58.6 metres at 1,580 metres depth.

Osisko holds a 5% NSR royalty on East Gouldie, Odyssey South and the western half of East Malartic and a 3% NSR royalty on Odyssey North and the eastern half of East Malartic. For more information, refer to Agnico Eagle’s press release dated April 29, 2021 entitled “Agnico Eagle Reports First Quarter 2021 Results – Record Quarterly Gold Production; Drilling Identifies Potentially Significant Extension to the East Gouldie Zone at Odyssey; Updated Climate Change Strategy Outlined in 2020 Sustainability Report” filed on www.sedar.com.

Upper Beaver/Kirkland Lake Exploration Success and Project Timing

In the first quarter of 2021, Agnico Eagle completed 67 drill holes (21,014 metres) at Upper Beaver focused on infill drilling and mineral resource conversion.  Highlights from the drilling included 62.6 g/t gold (28.1 g/t capped at 90 g/t gold) and 0.97% copper over 16.8 metres at approximately 1,200 metres depth.  This is the best intersection ever reported from Upper Beaver.  An update on the drilling program is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2021 and an internal technical evaluation of the project is expected to be completed in late 2021.

On April 13, 2021, Agnico Eagle presented an overview of its project pipeline at the World Gold Forum, including the Upper Beaver/Kirkland Lake project. Current development concepts suggest annual production from Upper Beaver of 180-240koz gold at all-in sustaining costs of US$700-750 per ounce.  Subject to permitting timelines, production could potentially commence in 2027.  Osisko holds a 2% NSR royalty on Agnico Eagle’s Kirkland Lake project, including Upper Beaver.

Osisko Development Progress

In the first quarter of 2021, a total of approximately 48,000 metres were drilled as part of the exploration and resource conversion program on the Cariboo gold project. Up to ten diamond drill rigs were utilized. The drilling confirmed down dip extensions of mineralized veins and high grade intercepts within the current mineral resource estimate. Drill highlights included 22.76 g/t over 7 metres at Mosquito Creek and 6.97 g/t over 6.5 metres at Valley Zone. For more information, refer to Osisko Development’s press release dated April 27, 2021 entitled “Osisko Development Intersects 22.76 g/t Gold over 7 Meters and 7.73 g/t Gold over 14 Meters on Island and Cow Deposits Infill and Expansion Drilling” filed on www.sedar.com.

Osisko Development expects regulatory permitting approval to begin development of an underground access for a 10,000 tonne bulk sample in the second quarter of 2021. The bulk sample permit intends to replicate the Cariboo Gold Project’s mining conditions by mining two stopes and processing the mineralized material through an ore sorter on site. Recent ore sorter tests have shown excellent capability of excluding waste rock from the processing stream to save on costs and increase feed grade. A new ore sorter was purchased in the last quarter of 2020 and is expected to arrive in Wells during the third quarter of 2021 with test work beginning before year-end.

The Bonanza Ledge II mine located on the Cariboo gold project has made significant progress in the first quarter. A stockpile of mineralized material has been transported to the QR mill. The mill is being re-commissioned after conversion to carbon in leach (CIL) and several improved material handling systems. First gold pour from Bonanza Ledge II is expected in Q2.

Osisko holds a 5% NSR royalty on the Cariboo property, including the Bonanza Ledge II mine.

On the San Antonio project in Sonora Mexico, Osisko Development has initiated a drill campaign to confirm and expand on the Sapuchi gold deposit. They have also initiated metallurgical tests and engineering design to advance the treatment of the gold stockpile mined by the previous operator.

Osisko Bermuda Limited, a subsidiary of Osisko, holds a 15% gold and silver stream on the San Antonio project.

Mantos Update

The Mantos Blancos Concentrator Debottlenecking Project (“MB-CDP”) has achieved a total progress of 79%, in line with the targeted progress. The main project milestones are maintained, with construction scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, and the project completion date scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021. 

The expansion is expected to increase the throughput of the operation’s sulphide concentrator plant from 4.3 million tonnes per year to 7.3 million tonnes per year by the fourth quarter of 2021 and extend the life of the mine to 2035. Annual deliveries of refined silver to Osisko during the first five years following commissioning of the expansion are expected to average approximately 1.2 million ounces of silver per year.

Windfall PEA Update

In April 2021, Osisko Mining Inc. (“Osisko Mining”) released an updated preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) for the Windfall gold project which estimates an after-tax internal rate of return of 39% and after-tax net present value of $1.5 billion, using a gold price of US$1,500 per ounce. The PEA highlights average gold production of 238,000 ounces per year for the 18 year mine life. The first seven years of full production will average 300,000 ounces per year at an average diluted grade of 8.1 g/t Au. For more information, refer to Osisko Mining’s press release dated April 7, 2021 entitled “Osisko Mining Delivers Positive PEA Update for Windfall”, filed on www.sedar.com.

Osisko Mining also announced it has placed an order for grinding equipment and ancillaries from FLSmidth for the Windfall project. The grinding mills have a capacity of processing up to 3,900 tonnes per day based on 92% availability. The equipment is expected to be delivered to the Windfall project in the second half of 2022. Installation will follow, pending successful receipt of all permits and authorizations. For more information, refer to Osisko Mining’s press release dated March 9, 2021 entitled “Osisko Mining Orders Milling Equipment for Windfall”, filed on www.sedar.com.

Osisko holds a 2% to 3% NSR royalty on the Windfall project.

Eagle Increased Production Plan

Victoria Gold Inc. (“Victoria Gold”) has announced the initiation of the “Project 250”, aimed at increasing the average annual gold production of the Eagle mine to 250,000 ounces gold by 2023. The two primary opportunities to increase production are the scalping of fine ore from the crushing circuit and adjusting the seasonal stacking plan. Early engineering on Project 250 is expected to be completed in the second half of 2021.  For more information, refer to Victoria Gold’s press release dated April 6 2021 entitled “Eagle Gold Mine First Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights”, filed on www.sedar.com.

Osisko holds a 5.0% NSR royalty on the Dublin Gulch property which includes all reported reserves and resources of the Eagle gold mine as well as the Raven, Lynx, and Potato Hills exploration targets.

Conversion of Parral Offtake to a Stream

In April 2021, GoGold Resources Inc. (“GoGold”) and Osisko Bermuda Limited (“Osisko Bermuda”), a subsidiary of Osisko, entered into an agreement to convert the current capped Parral gold and silver offtake into a life-of-mine gold and silver stream. Under the stream, Osisko Bermuda will receive, effective April 29, 2021, 2.4% of the gold and silver produced from tailings piles currently owned or acquired by GoGold, with a transfer price of 30% of the gold and silver spot prices. Osisko currently has no other offtake agreements on producing assets, therefore, this conversion will streamline financial reporting for Osisko’s royalty and stream segment moving forward

Santana Construction Update

Minera Alamos Inc. (“Minera Alamos”) has indicated that initial gold production from the Santana project is expected by mid-year. The major construction activities related to the gold recovery plant are now complete and preparations are underway for testing.  Final electrical and piping work will be finished in parallel with other site activities leading up to the start of mining operations. The initial heap leach pad area has also been completed and will continue to be expanded concurrently with the commencement of mining activities.  For more information, refer to Minera Alamos’s press release dated March 31, 2021 entitled “Minera Alamos Selects Mining Contractor in Preparation for Start of Mining Operations”, filed on www.sedar.com.
