Resource Estimates Technical Reports (NI 43-101)

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.

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.
