Osisko Metals Announces Additional Definition Drilling Results for Pine Point
MONTREAL, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the « Company » or « Osisko Metals« ) (TSX-V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRANKFURT: 0B51) is pleased to announce results from the 2022 definition drilling program at its Pine Point Project, located in the Northwest Territories, Canada. This continuous drill program is designed to achieve an average drill spacing of approximately 30 metres within current mineral resources to upgrade resources presently classified as Inferred to the Indicated category so they can be included in the upcoming feasibility study.
In August of this year, the Company filed the 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that included higher commodity prices and reduced dewatering costs. All intercepts reported below were within, or immediately adjacent to, the currently modelled and proposed open pit shells included in the PEA. Further assay results are pending.
The results reported in Tables 1 & 2 below are within expectations for the infill program needed to convert the North Zone deposits (Y68, Y65, and X71) to the Indicated Mineral Resource category. Shallow zinc and lead sulphides were intersected between 18 and 95 metres vertical depth and occurred as continuous, flat-lying, and relatively thin, Tabular-style mineralization. Prismatic-style mineralization, with more vertical continuity, was locally encountered within the Tabular-style mineralization.
Highlights Include:
- Drill hole X71-22-PP-036 intersected 13.00 metres, grading 6.80% Zn and 2.58% Pb (9.38% Zn+Pb)
- Drill hole X71-22-PP-040 intersected 12.00 metres, grading 25.80% Zn and 6.84% Pb (32.65% Zn+Pb)
- Drill hole Y65-22-PP-009 intersected 6.00 metres, grading 12.87% Zn and 1.32% Pb (14.19% Zn+Pb)
- Drill hole Y68-22-PP-019 intersected 6.00 metres, grading 9.94% Zn and 13.66% Pb (23.61% Zn+Pb)
Jeff Hussey, President & COO, commented: “We are pleased to report more positive definition drilling results as we prepare for the winter drilling campaign, expected to start in January 2023. Following the 2020 and 2022 PEA studies and further drilling, we will initiate the feasibility phase of the project in H2 2023. In parallel, we are continuing to advance the Environmental Assessment process which will continue into 2023.”

Hydrogeological Program Update
Upcoming hydrogeological testing of some recent exploration drill holes will consist of 1) Profile Tracer Tests that measure water flow and conductivity of the bedrock stratigraphy within these drill holes and 2) injection tests to better understand the aquifer characteristics. These new datasets will be added to the hydrogeological modelling process as we prepare for the feasibility study phase of the Pine Point Project.
Qualified Person
Mr. Robin Adair is the Qualified Person and the Vice President of Exploration for Osisko Metals Incorporated. He is responsible for the technical data reported in this news release, and he is a Professional Geologist registered in the Northwest Territories.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Osisko Metals adheres to a strict QA/QC program for core handling, sampling, sample transportation, and analyses. Drill core samples from the Pine Point project area are securely transported to its core facility on site, where they were logged and sampled. Samples selected for assay are shipped to ALS Canada Ltd.’s preparation facility in Yellowknife. Pulps are analyzed at the ALS Canada Ltd. facility in North Vancouver, BC. All samples are analyzed by four acid digestion followed by both ICP-AES and ICP-MS for a multi-element suite with a 1% upper detection limit for base metals. Samples reporting over 1% for Zn and 1% for Pb are analyzed by assay grade, four acid digestion and ICPAES analysis with an upper detection limit of 30% and 20% respectively. Samples reporting Zn >30% and or Pb >20% are analyzed by traditional titration.

About Osisko Metals
Osisko Metals Incorporated is a Canadian exploration and development company creating value in the critical metals space. The Company controls one of Canada’s premier past-producing zinc mining camps, the Pine Point Project, located in the Northwest Territories for which the 2022 PEA has indicated an after-tax NPV of $603M and an IRR of 25% is based on the current Mineral Resource Estimates that are amenable to open pit and shallow underground mining and consist of 15.7Mt grading 5.55% ZnEq of Indicated Mineral Resources and 47.2Mt grading 5.94% ZnEq of Inferred Mineral Resources. Please refer to the technical report entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment, Pine Point Project, Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada” dated July 30, which has been filed on SEDAR. The Pine Point Project is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, near infrastructure, and paved highway access, and also has an electrical substation as well as 100 kilometres of viable haulage roads already in place.
The Company is also in the process of acquiring, from Glencore Canada, a 100% interest in the past-producing Gaspé Copper Mine, located near Murdochville in the Gaspé peninsula of Quebec. The Company is currently focused on resource evaluation of the Mount Copper Expansion Project that hosts a NI43-101 Inferred Resource of 456Mt grading 0.31% Cu (see April 28, 2022 press release). Gaspé Copper hosts the largest undeveloped copper resource in Eastern North America, strategically located near existing infrastructure in the mining-friendly province of Quebec.
