Osisko Development Corp. (TSX-V: ODV) (NYSE: ODV) is pleased to announce underground diamond drilling results as part of its ongoing exploration program at its 100%-owned Trixie test mine, within the Company’s wider Tintic Project, located in the historic East Tintic Mining District in central Utah, U.S.A.

Chris Lodder, President of Osisko Development, commented, “Today’s drill results include high-grade gold intercepts from the Trixie underground in all domains of the deposit including the gold and silver rich tellurides in the T2 structure, the quartz barite stockwork T4 zone with gold bearing fissures similar to T2, and the 75-85 polymetallic silica-sulphide cemented breccia zone. These new drill results continue to validate our exploration work and expand our understanding of known mineralization to generate additional exploration targets at structural and lithological contacts beneath the overlying Ophir shale cap rock.”

DRILL SUMMARY

• The high-grade intercepts disclosed in the news release are located on the southern portion of the current Trixie Mineral Resource Estimate along new development and stepping out closer to the Sioux Ajax Fault, one of the main targets for mineralization at Trixie.
• The T2 structure continues to intersect high-grade mineralization including 91.3 g/t Au and 18.7 g/t Ag over 1.34 m in hole TUG-625-053.
• The T4 stockwork, in the immediate hangingwall of the T2 structure, exhibits high-grade fissure structures similar to the T2 within a broader zone and returned assays including 354 g/t Au and 249 g/t Ag over 0.46 m in hole TUG-625-033 and 229 g/t Au and 238 g/t Au over 0.76 m in hole TUG-625-102A (see Figure 2).
• The new drilling results indicate consistent mineralization at the contact between the 75-85, T4 stockwork and overlying Ophir Shale including hole TUG-625-087 that assayed 28.72 g/t Au and 404.19 g/t Ag over 6.25 m (see Figure 3).
• The 75-85 domain consists of a discrete north-south striking moderate to steeply west-dipping polymetallic silica-sulphide cemented breccia zone. The domain connects two historically developed tabular mineralized bodies, the 756 at the north end of Trixie development, and the 75-85 mineralized shoot to the south. Historically documented primary economic minerals include a native gold and silver, copper, lead and/or zinc bearing sulphides and sulphosalts. Gangue (non-mineralized) minerals are chiefly crystalline quartz and barite.

EXPLORATION NEXT STEPS

• The Company currently has two underground diamond drill rigs in operation at Trixie conducting exploration activities.
• Follow up exploration targets include drill testing of the contact beneath the Ophir Shale cap rock, where mineralization appears to be concentrated, as well as testing the 75-85 structure at depth.
• In 2022, the Company completed 28 surface reverse circulation drill holes near Trixie totalling approximately 8,442 m (27,700 ft.) and 62 underground DD holes in the 625 level at Trixie totalling approximately 3,232 m (10,060 ft.). To date, assays have been received for 8 RC drill holes and 56 DD holes.

About Trixie

The Trixie test mine is one of several gold and base metal targets within the larger Tintic Project consisting of >17,000 acres of patented mining claims and mineral leases within the historic East Tintic Mining District of Central Utah, U.S.A. The T2 and T4 structures at Trixie show multi-ounce gold grades associated with high sulphidation epithermal mineralization, structurally controlled and hosted within quartzites. The T2 structure mineralization consists of native Au, and rare Au-Ag – rich telluride minerals with quartz. The T4 is a mineralized stockwork zone is located in the hanging wall of the T2 and is comprised of Au-Ag rich mineralization in host rock quartzite with quartz-barite-sulphosalt stockwork veining. Mineralization reports consistent multi-ounce gold grades along the entire strike length.

Quality Assurance – Quality Control

All drill core and exploration samples are dispatched to ALS Laboratory for offsite sample preparation and analysis. Samples are assigned a unique sample ID. All geological and sampling information is entered into Datamine Fusion database. Core is sawn in half and half are sampled. Certified standards and blanks inserted into all sample dispatches. Samples are collected by Old Dominion Transportation and dispatched to ALS Laboratory in Reno, NV. Sample submission forms accompany the samples, and digital copies emailed to ALS.

All sample preparation is completed by ALS, including crushing and pulverizing (Prep31) of samples. Analytical assays include gold and silver by fire assay of 50 g sample with AAS finish (Au-AA26), over limits by gravimetric analysis (Au-Grav22). Multi element analysis is by four acid digest (ME-MS61). The pulps are returned to Osisko Development and coarse rejects are disposed after 90 days. Assays are reported to Osisko Development, and then loaded into Datamine Fusion, QA/QC samples are checked, and assays merged with sample information for future reporting.
