Osisko Development Extends Gold Mineralization at Cariboo Gold Project Beyond 700 m Vertical Depth in Previously Untested Areas; Intercepts Include 13.19 g/t Gold Over 3.60 m at 596 m Vertical Depth and 28.90 g/t Gold Over 0.50 m at 718 m Vertical Depth

All drill core samples are submitted to ALS Geochemistry’s analytical facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. The ALS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is crushed, and 250 grams is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 50 gram fire assay fusion with atomic absorption (AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.01 ppm and upper limit of 100 ppm. Samples with gold assays greater than 100 ppm are re-analyzed by fire-assay with gravimetric finish (upper limit 10,000 ppm). Select samples containing visible gold and/or cosalite are flagged during logging for an additional 1,000-gram screen metallic fire assay to ensure accurate quantification of any coarse fraction. All samples are also analyzed using a 48 multi-elemental geochemical package by a 4-acid digestion, followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS).

ABOUT
OSISKO
DEVELOPMENT
CORP.

Article content

Osisko Development Corp. is a continental North American gold development company focused on past producing mining camps with district scale potential. The Company’s objective is to become an intermediate gold producer through the development of its flagship, fully permitted, 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project, located in central British Columbia, Canada. Its project pipeline is complemented by the Tintic Project located in the historic East Tintic mining district in Utah, U.S.A., a brownfield property with significant exploration potential, extensive historical mining data, and access to established infrastructure. Osisko Development is focused on developing long-life mining assets in mining-friendly jurisdictions while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation, development risk management, and mineral inventory growth.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Article content

This news release contains “forward-looking information” (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws) and “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended) (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Such forward-looking statements are identified with words such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “potential”, “estimate”, “propose”, “project”, “outlook”, “foresee”, “objective”, “strategy”, variants of these words or the negative or comparable terminology, as well as terms usually used in the future and the conditional. Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including the assumptions, qualifications, limitations or statements pertaining to: the utility and significance of the exploration drilling designed to test near mine potential at depth and in under-drilled gap zones; the results and interpretation thereof confirming the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth; the strong potential for upside and resource growth beyond the current mineral inventory at the Cariboo Gold Project; the utility and significance of the results and interpretation in providing positive indication of understanding (if any) of the potential full extent of the mineralized system at depth and whether compelling near-mine upside opportunities exist (if at all); the significance of continued drilling at depth and in underexplored zones; the interpretation and accuracy of intercepts to suggest possible extensions of vein corridors, with potential for resource conversion and upside mineralization; the interpretation of drill results being outside the current areas of the Cariboo Gold deposit; the strong potential for resource growth upside well beyond the 350 metre average of depth of the current deposit (if at all); the consistency of broad high-grade intercepts in drill holes testing through and under the Shaft-Mosquito Gap and the potential for near mine upside within this previously untested zone (if at all); the interpretation and accuracy of intercepts demonstrating continuity and possible resource upside potential ; the utility and significance of incorporating new lithologic data into updated and extended geologic models and its expectation of aiding in further refining of at depth targets (if at all); the prospectivity of exploration in targets outside of currently defined mineral reserves and/or mineral resources; the interpretation and accuracy of spatial geometries, geological structure and local variability modeling and assumptions in regard to potential reserve or resource revisions (if at all); the results (if any) of further exploration work and ability of the Company to define and expand mineral resources beyond current mineral resource estimates; the ability and utility of exploration work (including drilling) to inform resource modeling, mine planning, production stope design procedures and parameters, refinement of infill drill requirements, and the appropriate drill spacing for future infill drilling (if at all); assumptions, qualifications and parameters underlying the Cariboo Technical Report (including, but not limited to, the mineral resources, mineral reserves, production profile, mine design and project economics); the results of the Cariboo Technical Report as an indicator of quality and robustness of the Cariboo Gold Project, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances; the ability of the Company to achieve the estimates outlined in the Cariboo Technical Report in the timing contemplated (if at all); mineral resource category conversion; the future development and operations at the Cariboo Gold Project; management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments; the utility and significance of historic data, including the significance of the district hosting past producing mines; the ability of exploration work (including drilling and sampling) to accurately predict mineralization; the ability of the Company to complete its exploration and development objectives for its projects in the timing contemplated and within expected costs (if at all); the ability to adapt to changes in gold prices, estimates of costs, estimates of planned exploration and development expenditures; the Company’s strategy and objectives relating to the Cariboo Gold Project as well as its other projects; the assumptions, qualifications and limitations relating to the Cariboo Gold Project being permitted; the exploration potential and prospectivity (if any) of its properties; the Company’s anticipated name change and trading of its securities under its updated stock ticker symbols (including timing thereof); regulatory framework remaining defined and understood as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances, and any other information herein that is not a historical fact may be “forward looking information”. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation: the change in the Company’s trading symbols and the marketplace effective date of such changes, risks relating to third-party approvals, including the issuance of permits by governments, capital market conditions and the Company’s ability to access capital on terms acceptable to the Company for the contemplated exploration and development at the Company’s properties; risks related to the exploration, development and operation of the Cariboo Gold Project; risks related to geological modeling and resource estimation; health, safety and security incidents; regulatory delays or changes in regulatory framework and applicable laws; labour shortages or disputes; general economic and market conditions and business conditions in the mining industry; fluctuations in commodity and currency exchange rates; changes in regulatory framework and applicable laws, as well as those risks and factors disclosed in the Company’s most recent annual information form, financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis as well as other public filings on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
