  • Repayment of $27.3 million under the revolving credit facility (and repayment of $115.2 million year-to-date in 2024);
  • Cash balance of $58.5 million and debt of $80.7 million as at September 30, 2024;
  • Acquisition of a 6% gold stream (until 225,000 ounces are delivered, and then 3.6% thereafter) by Osisko Bermuda Limited on SolGold plc’s Cascabel copper-gold development project in Ecuador for a total of US$225.0 million, payable upon achieving certain milestones;
  • Entered into a binding agreement to acquire a 1.8% gross revenue royalty from Tembo Capital Mining Fund II on Spartan Resources Limited’s Dalgaranga Gold Project in Western Australia for US$44 million, and a 1.35% GRR on additional regional exploration licenses in proximity to Dalgaranga from Tembo for US$6 million;
  • First delivery of copper received by Osisko Bermuda from Metals Acquisition Limited under the CSA copper stream;
  • First payment received from Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. under the Akasaba West 2.5% NSR royalty (partial coverage);
  • Appointment of Ms. Wendy Louie to the Company’s Board of Directors as an Independent Director; and
  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.065 per common share paid on October 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2024.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024

  • Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.065 per common share payable on January 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2024;
  • Osisko added to the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index; the underlying index that is tracked by the Global X Silver Miners ETF, pursuant to the index’s semi-annual ordinary adjustment, effective November 1, 2024; and,
  • The resignation of Mr. Robert Krcmarov from the Board of Directors in order to assume the role of President & CEO of Hecla Mining Company.

Jason Attew, President & CEO of Osisko commented: “Osisko had a solid third quarter and remains on track to achieve its 2024 revised guidance range of 77,000 to 83,000 GEOs delivered. On the last day of the quarter, Osisko also announced an agreement to purchase a royalty on Spartan’s Dalgaranga Gold Project in Western Australia, an asset that checks all of our boxes in terms of near-term production and cash flow, top-tier mining jurisdiction, management quality and significant exploration upside. This accretive transaction is expected to close shortly upon customary approval from Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board, and will provide incremental growth to Osisko’s peer-leading GEO delivery growth profile within the next two-to-three years.

Catalysts continued to crystallize for Osisko during the third quarter, most notably first deliveries under the CSA copper stream, first production at G Mining Ventures’ Tocantinzinho gold mine, and finally Gold Fields closing its acquisition of Osisko Mining to consolidate 100% of the Windfall gold project. Looking ahead into the next several months, we’re still expecting to see improved production at Capstone’s Mantos Blancos mine, as well as commissioning and first gold production from the Namdini gold project, both of which will serve as key incremental GEO delivery growth drivers for 2025 and beyond.”

Mr. Norman MacDonald, Chair of Osisko’s Board of Directors commented: “Rob has been an active and engaged independent member of Osisko’s Board for 2 years, and over this period, the Company has benefitted significantly from his dedicated leadership combined with his technical experience. On behalf of the Board, management and the Company’s shareholders, I would like to congratulate Rob on his new role as President and CEO of Hecla and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Notes:

(1) Gold Equivalent Ounces

GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver ounces and copper tonnes earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes by the average silver price per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price per ounce for the period.

(3) Non-IFRS Measures

The Corporation has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards including cash margin in dollars and in percentage. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. As Osisko’s operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Corporation presents cash margins as it believes that certain investors use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, to evaluate the Corporation’s performance in comparison to other companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently.

Cash Margin (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues)

Cash margin (in thousands of dollars) represents revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) represents the cash margin (in thousands of dollars) divided by revenues.
