Osisko Metals Files Ni 43-101 Technical Report FOR the Gaspé Copper Project
OSISKO METALS FILES NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT
FOR THE GASPÉ COPPER PROJECT
(Toronto, May 29, 2026) Osisko Metals Incorporated (the "Company" or "Osisko Metals") (TSX:
OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRANKFURT: OB51) is pleased to announce the filing on SEDAR+ of a
technical report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Gaspé Copper Project with an Updated
Mineral Resource Estimate for the Copper Mountain Deposit, Quebec, Canada" dated May 28,
2026 (with an effective date of January 17, 2026) (the "Technical Report "), in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
The Technical Report was prepared by PLR Resources Inc. ("PLR"), G Mining Services Inc. ("G
Mining"), and Synectiq Inc. ( "Synectiq"), and supports the disclosure contained in the news
release of the Company dated April 14, 2026, titled " Osisko Metals Announces Significant
Increase in Mineral Resources at Gaspé Copper" (the "April News Release").
Pursuant to subsection 4.2(5)(b) of NI 43- 101, the Company confirms that there are no material
differences between the Technical Report and the April News Release. The mineral resource
estimates for all categories, including tonnages, grades (copper, molybdenum, silver, and copper
equivalent), contained metal, and all underlying technical parameters and assumptions, are
identical in the Technical Report and the April News Release. No reconciliation of differences is
required.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate – Copper Mountain Deposit
The Technical Report presents the updated mineral resource estimate (the " 2026 MRE") for the
Copper Mountain deposit at the Gaspé Copper Project (the "Project"), located on the Gaspé
Peninsula of Eastern Québec, adjacent to the municipality of Murdochville. The 2026 MRE was
prepared by Pierre- Luc Richard, P.Geo., of PLR, with contributions from François Le Moal,
P.Eng., of G Mining for cut-off grade and pit shell optimization, and Christian Laroche, P.Eng., of
Synectiq for metallurgical parameters. All three qualified persons are "independent" of the
Company within the meaning of Section 1.5 of NI 43-101 (collectively, the "Qualified Persons").
The 2026 MRE, reported at a base- case cut-off grade of 0.16% copper equivalent ( "CuEq"), is
summarized in the table below(1).
Category Tonnes (Mt) CuEq (%) Cu (%) Mo (%) Ag (g/t) Cu (M lbs) Cu (kt) Mo (M lbs) Mo (kt) Ag (Moz)
Measured 136.5 0.42 0.37 0.014 1.98 1,128 512 41.9 19 8.7
Indicated 1,697.7 0.32 0.26 0.017 1.54 9,639 4,373 631.3 286.4 84.1
M&I 1,834.2 0.32 0.27 0.017 1.57 10,766 4,883 673.2 305.4 92.8
Inferred 238.8 0.46 0.41 0.016 1.88 2,158 979 82.9 37.6 14.5
Note:
(1) CuEq grades are presented for illustrative purposes only to express the combined value of copper,
molybdenum, and silver as a single copper grade. CuEq grades are calculated using long-term metal prices
of US$4.50/lb copper, US$20.00/lb molybdenum, and US$45.00/oz silver, and incorporate assumptions for
metallurgical recoveries (91% Cu, 72% Mo, 65% Ag), payable metal factors, smelting and refining charges,
transportation costs, and royalties. The CuEq calculation is essentially based on net smelter return ( NSR)
values and simplifies to: CuEq (%) = Cu (%) + 3.40327 × Mo (%) + 0.00008 × Ag (g/t). NSR cut -off of
US$11.71/t corresponds to the CuEq cut-off of 0.16%. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do
not have demonstrated economic viability. No eco nomic evaluation of these mineral resources has been
produced.
The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources are uncertain in nature and there
has been insufficient drilling to define these inferred mineral resources as indicated mineral
resources. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources
could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with additional drilling. The Qualified Persons
are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political,
financial, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the 2026 MRE. CIM definitions and
guidelines for mineral resource estimates have been followed. Resources are presented as
undiluted and in situ for an open- pit scenario and are constrained within a conceptual pit shell
developed using overall pit slopes of 48 degrees in bedrock and overburden. The 2026 MRE
model is based on 2,793 drill holes and 208,043 samples, including 159,212 metres in 238 drill
holes drilled by the Company between 2022 and 2025. Contained copper includes sulphide
copper only; soluble copper from surface oxidized zones was excluded. The pit optimization was
performed using Geovia Whittle 2022 software. Grade model resource estimation was calculated
using an ordinary kriging (OK) interpolation method in a sub- blocked model using blocks
measuring 15m × 15m × 15m in size and sub -blocks down to 1m × 1m × 1m. The measured
mineral resource , indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral resource categories are
constrained to areas where drill spacing is less than 60 metres, 120 metres, and 300 metres,
respectively, and show reasonable geological and grade continuity.
Previous Mineral Resource Estimates Superseded
The 2026 MRE supersedes all previously filed mineral resource estimates for the Copper
Mountain deposit, including the 2024 Q4 mineral resource estimate (with an effective date
November 4, 2024), the 2024 Q2 mineral resource estimate (with an effective date April 22, 2024),
and the 2022 mineral resource estimate (with an effective date April 12, 2022). These prior
mineral resource estimates should no longer be relied upon.

(i) Pierre-Luc Richard, P.Geo. (OGQ No. 1119), of PLR, a " qualified person" (as defined by NI
43-101) who is "independent" of the Company within the meaning of Section 1.5 of NI 43- 101,
and is responsible for Chapters 1 to 12 and 14 to 27 of the Technical Report, including the mineral
resource estimate; (ii) François Le Moal, P.Eng. (OIQ No. 6012262), of G Mining, a "qualified
person" (as defined by NI 43- 101) who is "independent" of the Company within the meaning of
Section 1.5 of NI 43-101, and is responsible for the pit optimization and cut-off grade parameters;
and (iii) Christian Laroche, P.Eng., of Synectiq, a "qualified person" (as defined by NI 43 -101)
who is "independent" of the Company within the meaning of Section 1.5 of NI 43- 10, and is
responsible for the metallurgical parameters.
The Qualified Persons have verified the data underlying the mineral resource estimate, including
sampling, analytical, and test data. Data verification included validation of the drill hole database,
review of sampling and assaying procedures, the QA/QC program, downhole survey
methodologies, and site visits conducted in January 2024 and August 2025. The Q ualified
Persons are of the opinion that the database is of good overall quality and suitable for mineral
resource estimation.
About the Gaspé Copper Project
The Gaspé Copper Project is located on the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Quebec, approximately
825 km east of Montréal, adjacent to the municipality of Murdochville. The Property comprises
two mining concessions and 203 mining claims covering 11,407 hectares. All necessary support
infrastructure for the potential re- opening of the Project is already in place, including paved
highway access via Highway 198, port access at Sainte- Anne-des-Monts, and a Hydro-Québec
electrical substation on the property.

interest in the past -producing Gaspé Copper mine from Glencore Canada Corporation in July
2023. Gaspé Copper hosts the largest undeveloped copper resource in eastern North America,
strategically located near existing infrastructure in the mining- friendly province of Québec. In
addition to the Gaspé Copper project, the Company is working with Appian Capital Advisory LLP
through the Pine Point Mining Limited joint venture to advance the Pine Point project in the
Northwest Territories. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading

Cautionary Statement Regarding Mineral Resources
The mineral resources disclosed in this news release conform to standards and guidelines in NI
43-101 and were prepared by the Qualified Persons for purposes of NI 43- 101. The above-
mentioned mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated
economic viability. The quantity and grade of the reported inferred mineral resource estimate are
conceptual in nature and are estimated based on limited geological evidence and sampling.
Geological data is sufficient to imply but not verify geological grade and/or quality of continuity. It
is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading inferred mineral resources to a higher
category.
