Zinc+Lead Over 2.9 Metres at Pine Point
MONTREAL, Sept. 05, 2018 -- Osisko Metals Incorporated (the “ Company” or “Osisko Metals”) (TSX-V: OM; FRANKFURT:
OB51) is pleased to announce additional assay results from 7 drill holes completed in the Central Zone in the Pine Point
Mining Camp (“PPMC”). Drill hole M6263-18-PP-025 intersected 3.97% Zinc and 5.29% Lead over 7.51 metres and hole
M6263-18-PP-024 intersected 3.27% Zinc and 3.55% Lead over 5.81 metres . A high-grade intersection was also returned
from Hole M6263-18-PP-030 that intersected 21.69% Zinc and 2.90% Lead over 2.90 metres . All intersections are within
flat lying tabular-style deposits and all intercepts are located above 82 metres depth . ( See 2018 Summer Drill Campaign
Central Zone M62-63 Map).
All reported holes are from the M62/63 deposit that currently measures 1,100 metres in length within the Central Zone. The
Central Zone hosts twelve deposits with unclassified historical resources reported by Cominco Ltd. (1988) over a distance of
7.6 kilometres, (including the M62/63 deposit of 789,200 tonnes at 6.7% Zinc and 2.5% Lead). This area is located 11
kilometres to the west of the electrical sub-station along the main haulage road. Additional highlights are listed below in Table
1 and details are provided in Tables 2 & 3.

Note: Lead + zinc grades may not add up exactly due to rounding to 1/100.
The objective of the 2018 drill program is to upgrade approximately 50 million tonnes of unclassified near-surface historical
resources (Cominco Ltd.) to NI43-101 Inferred Mineral Resources as quickly as possible in areas amenable to open pit mining.
The 2018 program consists of approximately 700 drill holes (395 now completed) within the Main Trend, a 20-kilometre long
portion of the PPMC that is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, near infrastructure and
paved highway access and with 100km of haulage roads already in place.
Note regarding historical resource and Qualified Person
The above-mentioned historical resources do not conform to National Instrument 43-101 standards. The Company is reporting
the historical estimates for reference purposes only. Neither Osisko Metals nor its consultants have completed sufficient work
to verify the historical estimates and these should not be relied upon for investment purposes. A Qualified Person has not done
sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as NI43-101 compliant mineral resources and there is no guarantee that
such work will allow conversion of such historical resources.
Stanley G. Clemmer, P. Geo registered in the Northwest Territories and is Chief Geologist for Pine Point Mining Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Osisko Metals Limited. He is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical data reported in
this news release.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Osisko Metals adheres to a strict Quality Assurance and Quality Control program with regard to core handling, sampling,
transportation of samples and lab analyses. Drill core samples from the Pine Point project area were securely transported to
its core facility in Hay River, Northwest Territories where they were logged and sampled. Samples selected for assay were
shipped via secure transportation to the ALS Canada Ltd’s preparation facility in Yellowknife. Pulps were analyzed at the ALS
Canada Ltd. facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia. All samples are analyzed by four acid digestion followed by both
ICP-AES and ICP-MS for ultra-trace level detection for a multi-element suite with a 1% upper detection limit for base metals.
Samples reporting over 1% for Zn and 1% for Pb are analyzed by assay grade four acid digestion and ICP-AES analysis with
an upper detection limit of 30% and 20% respectively. Samples reporting Zn >30% and or Pb >20% are analyzed by
traditional titration.

About Osisko Metals
Osisko Metals is a Canadian exploration and development company creating value in the base metal space with a focus on
zinc mineral assets. The Company controls Canada’s two premier zinc mining camps in Canada, namely the Pine Point Camp
(“PPMC”) located in the Northwest Territories (22,000 ha) and the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”), located in northern New
Brunswick (63,000 ha). The Company is currently drilling in both camps for a combined 100,000 metres. The focus of these
programs is to upgrade historical resources to comply with NI43-101 regulations and also on exploration around historical
deposits. Brownfield exploration includes new innovative 3D compilation techniques, updated geological interpretation, and
modern geophysics. In Québec, the Company owns 42,000 hectares that cover 12 grass-root zinc targets that will be
selectively advanced through exploration. In parallel, Osisko Metals is monitoring several base metal-oriented peers for
opportunities.
