Osisko Intersects 16.1 g/t Au Over 8.3 Metres At Garrison

OSK-G17-361 was drilled at the eastern part of the 903 Zone and intercepted three mineralized intervals: 1.05 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, 0.87 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, and 1.48 g/t Au over 5.2 metres. The three zones correspond to syenite dykes with quartz veining and sulfides near their contacts with fuchsite altered ultramafic rocks.

OSK-G17-389 was a vertical hole drilled at the central part of the Garrcon Zone, intercepting the deep Garrcon mineralized zone. Six mineralized zones were intercepted including 3.02 g/t Au over 23.3 metres, shallow mineralization associated with zones of intense fracturing and quartz veining with albite, sericite and iron carbonate alteration. A second mineralized zone averaged 1.0 g/t Au over 12.8 metres with the same mineralization style. A third mineralized zone returned 9.03 g/t Au over 1.0 metre associated with a small zone of sericite - iron carbonate alteration with discrete quartz veins. Three additional deeper mineralized zones returned 1.46 g/t Au over 5.0 metres, 1.99 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, and 1.52 g/t Au over 50.0 metres. This deeper mineralization is associated with vein-breccia structures with sericitic alteration and occasional crustiform quartz-carbonate veins.

OSK-G17-396 was drilled in the central part of the 903 Zone where it intercepted two significant mineralized zones, the first averaging 1.03 g/t Au over 16.0 metres associated with the upper part of a syenite dyke with albitic alteration, quartz-carbonate veining, and pyrite dissemination; and the second averaging 7.12 g/t Au over 1.0 meter, associated with the contact between ultramafic rocks and a thin deformed layer of Temiskaming sediments.

OSK-G17-443 targeted the Garrcon Zone, south of the bulk sample pits intercepting four mineralized zones including: 1.06 g/t Au over 4.75 metres; 1.37 g/t Au over 2.4 metres; 1.32 g/t Au over 1.8 metres; and 1.65 g/t Au over 2.1 metres. All intervals show the typical mineralization style of Garrcon, sediment-hosted fracture and vein zones with associated albite, sericite, and iron carbonate alteration.

OSK-G17-448 was drilled in the southeast part of the 903 Zone targeting mineralization observed in hole OSK-G17-390 (see press release January 15, 2018). The hole intercepted two mineralized zones, the first averaging 0.93 g/t Au over 19.9 metres associated with a syenite dyke with albite-hematite alteration, quartz veining and sulfide dissemination; the second intercepted 1.0 g/t Au over 7.0 metres at the discordant contact between Temiskaming sediments and ultramafic volcanic rocks.

OSK-G17-454 intercepted three mineralized zones, the first averaging 16.1 g/t Au over 8.3 metres associated with strong sodic alteration and veining in a coarse-grained syenite porphyry. A second zone averaged 2.98 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in fuchsite altered ultramafic rocks near the contact with the previously mentioned syenite dyke. A third deeper zone averaged 1.76 g/t Au over 5.9 metres associated with the upper contact of a syenite dyke with albite-hematite alteration.

OSK-G17-458 and OSK-G17-459 were drilled in the central 903 Zone, in the same section, above and below OSK-G17-326 (see press release February 1st, 2017), respectively. OSK-G17-458 intercepted 1.03 g/t Au over 5.04metres and 1.22 g/t Au over 7.12 metres, both associated with contacts between ultramafic rocks and albite altered syenite dykes. OSK-G17-459 intercepted 1.21 g/t Au over 16.2 metres in altered syenite near the contact with ultramafic rocks; 5.32 g/t Au over 12.6 metres in a strong carbonate alteration zone within a syenite dyke with dissemination of coarse pyrite; and 5.92 g/t Au over 2.3 metres in green sericite - pyrite alteration hosted by Temiskaming sediments in a fracture zone near the contact with ultramafic rocks.

OSK-G17-462 was drilled in the northwestern part of the 903 Zone intercepting two mineralized intervals: the first averaging 3.26 g/t Au over 3.0 metres associated with a thin mineralized layer of sediments and 8.11 g/t Au over 2.5 metres in fuchsite altered ultramafic rocks near the contact with an albite altered lamprophyre dyke.

About the Garrison Project

 The Garrison Project area is comprised of 214 mineral claims, 25 mining leases, and 87 patent claims encompassing approximately 8,000 hectares. Both Garrcon and Jonpol have resource estimates that are described in a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which was completed by a previous operator Northern Gold Mining Inc. (entitled "Technical Report on the Golden Bear Project - Garrison Property: Larder Lake Mining Division, Garrison Township, Ontario, Canada") dated December 30, 2013, with an effective date of December 30, 2013 (the "Garrison Technical Report"). The Garrison Technical Report was prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited for Northern Gold Mining Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko) and is available on Osisko's website at www.osiskomining.comand on SEDAR under Northern Gold Mining Inc.'s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Resource estimates were conducted by A.C.A. Howe International Limited according to CIM standards. The Garrcon Zone estimates showed 15.1 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.07 g/t Au (521,000 oz) in measured resources; 14.1 million tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au (526,000 oz) in indicated resources; and 1.7 million tonnes averaging 0.72 g/t Au (39,000 oz) in inferred resources. Potential underground resources of 5.1 million tonnes averaging 3.49 g/t Au (577,000 oz) in the inferred category were also outlined. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au for open pit extraction and 1.5 g/t in a bulk underground mining scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

At the Jonpol Zone, resources were estimated as 0.87 million tonnes averaging 5.34 g/t Au (150,000 oz) in the indicated category; and 1.07 million tonnes averaging 5.56 g/t Au (192,000 oz) in inferred resources. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au and assume an underground extraction scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

Readers are cautioned that inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Garrcon Zone

The Garrcon Zone has a shallow plunge eastward along the footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone with the bulk of the resource in the western, more densely drilled area. The zone is exposed at surface and has potential for open pit bulk mining at an estimated overall stripping ratio of 1.8:1. There is potential for additional underground resources below the pit and along the easterly plunge of the zone, which is open for further exploration down dip and along strike.

The Garrcon shaft was sunk in 1935 and 1936 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada ("Cominco") and the Shaft and South Zones were tested for high grade gold mineralization. Cominco drove approximately 1,430 metres of drifts and cross cuts, mining underground veins. Diamond drilling by Cominco and Lac Minerals Ltd. in the mid-to-late 1980s identified broad sections of low grade mineralization. In 2006-2007, ValGold Resources Ltd. conducted additional drilling confirming these zones. From 2009-2013 Northern Gold Mining Inc. conducted 97,000 metres of diamond drilling which delineated the current resource.

In 2014, Northern Gold Mining Inc. was granted a trial mining permit allowing the extraction of up to 150,000 tonnes. Northern Gold Mining Inc. mined 73,534 dry tonnes which was processed at the nearby Holt mill facility recovering 3,516 oz at an average head grade of 1.55 g/t and recovery of 95.9%.

Jonpol Zone

Jonpol is situated in the Munro Fault Zone, a west striking splay off the north side of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Hosted in a shear zone tens of metres wide in altered mafic volcanic rocks, the deposit consists of four high grade gold mineralized zones (JP, JD, RP and East) over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz carbonate veins, in mafic and ultramafic host rocks, and is associated with intense albite and/or sericite alteration and pyrite mineralization.

In 1997, a 49,087 tonne bulk sample was extracted from the central part of the JP zone by Hillsborough Resources Limited with an average grade of 6.7 g/t which produced 9,476 ounces Au. From 1985-2013, over 130,000 metres of drilling was completed on the property by previous operators. Development work on the JP zone included the sinking of a 184 metre shaft as well as development of a ramp to the 150 metres level with mining on six sublevels. The Jonpol infrastructure underwent reclamation in the late 1990s and was closed out in 2001, but the existing ramp and shaft are preserved.

903 Zone

This third mineralized zone present at Garrison was not included in the resource estimate reported by the previous operator in 2013. Mineralization at the 903 was discovered in 1945 by Wright-Hargreaves Mines Ltd. In 1988 Lac Minerals acquired the claims covering the current 903 Zone and completed 17 drill holes totaling 4,823 metres. The property was optioned in 1990 to Jonpol and T&H Resources and subsequently returned to Lac Minerals in 1991. Northern Gold acquired the claims from a subsidiary of Barrick Gold in 2013, conducting surface exploration and six drill holes.
