a focus on zinc mineral assets. The Company controls Canada’s two premier zinc mining camps. The Company’s flagship
properties are: 1) the Pine Point Mining Camp (“PPMC”), located in the Northwest Territories, has an Inferred Mineral
Resource of 52.4 Mt grading 4.64% zinc and 1.83% lead (6.47% ZnEq), making it the largest pit-constrained zinc deposit in
Canada (please refer to the Report filed on SEDAR December 23rd for further information). The PPMC is located on the south
shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, near infrastructure and paved highway access and with 100 kilometres
of viable haulage roads already in place. In 2019-2020, the company will explore for additional mineral resources and continue
advancing the overall project. 2) The Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”), located in northern New Brunswick, has Indicated
Mineral Resources of 1.96 Mt grading 5.77% zinc, 2.38% lead, 0.22% copper and 68.9g/t silver (9.00% ZnEq) and Inferred
Mineral Resources of 3.85 Mt grading 5.34% zinc, 1.49% lead, 0.32% copper and 47.7 g/t silver (7.96% ZnEq) in the Key

The mineral resources mentioned in this press release conform to NI 43-101 standards and were prepared by independent
qualified persons, as defined by NI 43-101 guidelines. 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 Resources are conceptual
in nature and are estimated based on limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but
not verify geological grade and/or quality of continuity. Zinc equivalency percentages are calculated using metal prices,
forecasted metal recoveries, concentrate grades, transport costs, smelter payable metals and charges (see respective
technical reports for details).
Mr. Robin Adair, P.Geo and Vice President Exploration of Osisko Metals, is the Qualified Person who has approved of the
scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
