Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: âWe had a good start to 2023 and expect growth in deliveries over the year as we reap the benefits of ramp-ups at some of our core assets, in addition to the anticipated near-term closing of the CSA transaction, positioning Osisko for another record year. Â
The catalysts in our portfolio continue to intensify. Agnico Eagleâ?s consolidation of the Canadian Malartic mine provides multiple avenues for further production upside as it studies ways to maximize mill throughput. Further, the partnership between Gold Fields and Osisko Mining on the Windfall project is a tremendous outcome that de-risks an important asset in our portfolio. We congratulate the Osisko Mining team on a great result. More globally, our partners continue to unlock significant value across our shared asset base with an average of over 1.1 million meters drilled per year over the past six years. This value is daylighting itself across the entire portfolio highlighting the free upside embedded within our asset base.â

Notes:
1. Gold Equivalent Ounces
GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces earned by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements are converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including (i) cash margin (in dollars and in percentage), (ii) adjusted earnings  (loss) and (iii) adjusted earnings (loss) per share. 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. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. As Osiskoâ?s operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Corporation presents cash margins and adjusted earnings as it believes that certain investors use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, to evaluate the Corporationâ?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 dollars and in percentage of revenues)
Cash margin (in dollars) represents revenues from continuing operations less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) represents the cash margin (in dollars) divided by revenues from continuing operations.
