Management Commentary
Jason Attew, President & CEO of Osisko commented: “Osisko’s first quarter represented a good start for the Company in 2025 and serves as a solid base for Osisko to achieve its 2025 guidance range of 80,000 to 88,000 GEOs earned, especially considering that the Company’s GEO deliveries are expected to sequentially improve quarter-by-quarter throughout the remainder of the year ahead.
Looking ahead over the next few months, there are several upcoming catalysts to watch out for, including, but not limited to, Osisko Development’s project financing initiatives on the back of last week’s Optimized Feasibility Study results for the fully-permitted Cariboo gold project; a new life-of-mine plan at Alamos Gold’s Island Gold District; and finally, the anticipated Implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement between Spartan Resources and Ramelius Resources, which, if implemented, could accelerate first production from Dalgaranga to late 2025, a full year ahead of Osisko’s expectations when we acquired the Dalgaranga 1.8% gross smelter return royalty in late September of 2024.”
Norman MacDonald, Board Chair of Osisko, also commented: “Tomorrow’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders will mark the end of Joanne Ferstman’s tenure as an Independent Director on Osisko’s Board. Joanne has been on Osisko’s Board of Directors from the very beginning, and, as such, both Board and Management would like to wholeheartedly thank Joanne for her many years of leadership, guidance and service. Her attention to detail and dedication to realizing the Company’s strategic vision, amongst her many other skills, will be missed. We would also like to wish Joanne all the best in her future endeavours.”
Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
The Company’s 2025 Annual and Special Meeting of shareholders will be held on May 8, 2025 in Montréal, Québec.
