Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. "Osisko" or the "Corporation") is
pleased to announce that it has concluded the previously announced
binding term sheet agreement and signed a definitive agreement with
Miyuukaa Corp. ("Miyuukaa"), a wholly-owned corporation of the Cree
First Nation of Waswanipi ("CFNW"), with respect to the
construction of proposed transmission facilities and the transport
of hydroelectric power to the Windfall Project, located in the
Abitibi greenstone belt, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec. The power
line from the Waswanipi substation to Windfall is located 100% on
CFNW traditional lands covered by the James Bay Northern Québec
Agreement.
Miyuukaa will finance, build, own and operate a
69 kV dedicated transmission line that will transport
hydroelectricity to the Windfall project. As an end user, Osisko
will pay service fees to Miyuukaa. The agreement outlines the
general and financial terms of the agreement between Osisko and
Miyuukaa, which is for the purpose of ensuring delivery of
hydroelectricity over the life of the planned Windfall mill as
required.
Construction work commenced during the first
quarter of 2023 and is projected to take 12 months to complete,
with the hook-up date anticipated in Q1 2024.
This agreement solidifies the collaborative
approach between Osisko and the CFNW to sustainably develop energy
infrastructure, which will create robust employment opportunities
for members of the CFNW. Using hydroelectric power through the
final stages of exploration and throughout the planned construction
and operations phases will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the
Windfall Project's dependency on fossil fuels.
About the Windfall Gold
DepositThe Windfall gold deposit is located between
Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada.
The mineral resource estimate on Windfall (with an effective date
of June 7, 2022 ) (the "Windfall Resource Estimate") and the
mineral reserve estimate on Windfall (with an effective date of
November 25, 2022) (the "Windfall Reserve Estimate") are described
in the technical report entitled "Feasibility Study for the
Windfall Project, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, Canada" (the "FS
Technical Report") and dated January 10, 2023 (with an effective
date of November 25, 2022). The Windfall Resource Estimate,
assuming a cut-off grade of 3.50 g/t Au, comprises 811,000 tonnes
at 11.4 g/t Au (297,000 ounces) in the measured mineral resource
category, 10,250,000 tonnes at 11.4 g/t Au (3,754,000 ounces) in
the indicated mineral resource category and 12,287,000 tonnes at
8.4 g/t Au (3,337,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource
category. The Windfall Reserve Estimate, assuming 3.5 g/t
operating, 2.5 g/t incremental, and 1.7 g/t development cut-off
grade, comprises 12,183,000 tonnes at 8.06 g/t Au (3,159,000
ounces) in the probable mineral reserves category. The key
assumptions, parameters, limitations and methods used in the
Feasibility Study for Windfall, including the related Windfall
Resource Estimate and Windfall Reserve Estimate, are described in a
technical report (the "FS Technical Report"), which was prepared in
accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The FS Technical
Report is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Osisko's issuer
profile. The Windfall gold deposit is currently one of the
highest-grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada and has
world-class scale. Mineralization occurs in three principal areas:
Lynx, Main, and Underdog. Mineralization is generally comprised of
sub-vertical lenses following intrusive porphyry contacts plunging
to the northeast. The resources are defined from surface to a depth
of 1,600 metres, including the Triple 8 (TP8) zone. The reserves
are defined from surface to a depth of 1,100 metres. The deposit
remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been
identified at surface in some areas and as deep as 2,625 metres in
others with significant potential to extend mineralization
down-plunge and at depth.
About Osisko Mining Inc.Osisko

gold deposit located between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in Québec and
holds a 100% undivided interest in a large area of claims
surrounding the Urban Barry area and nearby Quévillon area (over
2,300 square kilometres).
