All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
(February 3, 2020) Montreal, Québec - Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: FPC) (“Falco” or the “Corporation”) is
pleased to announce that, the Corporation and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (“Osisko”) (collectively, the
“Parties”) have agreed to amend the silver stream agreement (the “Silver Stream Agreement”) entered into
by the Parties on February 27, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), relating to Falco’s Horne 5 project (the “Project”),
whereby Osisko agreed to postpone by one year each of the deadlines granted to Falco to achieve
milestones set as condition precedent to Osisko funding the stream deposit and certain other deadlines.
The amendment to the Silver Stream Transaction is considered to be a “related party transaction”
under Regulation 61 -101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“Regulation 61-101”) but is exempted from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation
pursuant to section 5.5(b) of Regulation 61 -101, as the common shares of Falco (the “Common Shares”)
are not listed on any of the specified markets. The transaction is also exempted from the requirement to
obtain minority approval pursuant to 5.7 (1)f) of Regulation 61-101, as the Silver Stream Transaction (i) is
on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Silver Stream
Transaction was obtained from an arm’s length party, and (ii) is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into
equity or voting securi ties of the Company. The independent directors of Falco have approved the
amendment to the Silver Stream Transaction.
