Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) is pleased to provide new results from the ongoing infill drilling program at its 100% owned Osborne-Bell gold deposit located 15 kilometres northwest of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Québec. The 50,000-metre program combines definition and expansion drilling at Osborne-Bell and the surrounding Quévillon property area.  The Osborne-Bell deposit remains open at depth.  To date approximately 24,100 metres of infill drilling have been completed over the main Osborne-Bell deposit.

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Pascal Simard, P.Eng. (OIQ 5002937), Director of Northern Exploration for projects in Quebec, who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols

True width determination is currently unknown but is estimated at 65-80% of the reported core length interval for the zone. Assays are uncut except where indicated. Intercepts occur within geological confines of major zones but have not been correlated to individual vein domains at this time. Reported intervals include minimum weighted averages of 3.0 g/t Au diluted over core lengths of at least 2.0 metres. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at (i) ALS Laboratories in Val d’Or, Québec, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Sudbury, Ontario or Vancouver, British Columbia. The 1-kilogram screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. All samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for QA/QC purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab.
