Recent Performance
Sean Roosen, Chair and Chief Executive Officer commented on the 2018 activities: “Osisko’s
performance during the first nine months of 2018 demonstrate s its unique approach to investing in all
areas of the mine development cycle and its dedication to creating its own high-return and high-margin
investment opportunities, adding near, medium and long-term cash flow to its growth pipeline.
Our amendment of the Renard stream will add immediate cash flow starting in Q4 of 2018, our
investment in Victoria Gold Corp. and the Eagle royalty will add significant cash flow s tarting in 2020,
while our investment in the Horne 5 stream brings in a new generation of assets that will become
anchor assets within Osisko’s portfolio.
During the first nine months of 2018, Osisko continued to increase its royalty and overall exposure to
the most prospective exploration camps in Canada, being the Cariboo gold camp and the Urban Barry
camp (hosting the Windfall Lake project) . Osisko strongly believes that acquiring royalties on mining
camps will deliver strong returns to its shareholders.
All of these investments have increased Osisko’s Canadian footprint, confirming Osisko as the leading
Canadian royalty company.”

Notes:
(1) GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and incl ude royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver
earned from royalty and stream agreements was converted to gold equivalent ounces by
multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the
average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties were converted
into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for
the period. Offtake agreements were converted using the financial settlement equivalent
divided by the average gold price for the period.

developments or performance that Osisko expects to occur including management’s expectations regarding Osisk o’s growth,
results of operations, estimated future revenue, requirements for additional capital, production estimates, production costs
and revenue, business prospects and opportunities are forward-looking statements. In addition, statements relating to gold
equivalent ounces ("GEOs") are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates
and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the GEOs will be realized. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "is expected" "plans",
"anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations
(including negat ive variations of such words and phrases), or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain
actions, events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, the performanc e of
the assets of Osisko, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from Osisko’s investments and transactions, including
the realization of all conditions precedent to the closing of the investment in Falco Resources Ltd.’s Horne 5 Gold project, the
estimate of GEOs to be received in 2018, the realization of all conditions precedent to the exercise by Pretium
Exploration Inc. of its option to fully repurchase Osisko’s Brucejack gold and silver stream in a timely manner, and Osisko’s
ability to seize future opportunities. Although Osisko believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may accordingly differ materially from those in forward-
looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results deriving from Osisko’s royalties, streams and other interests
to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: influence of political or economic
factors including fluctuations in the prices of the commodities and in value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. doll ar,
continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; regulations and
regulatory changes in national and local government, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies;
whether or not Osisko is determined to have “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) status as defined in Section
1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatments of
offshore streams or other interests, litigation, title, permit or license disputes; risks and hazards associated with the business
of exploring, development and mining on the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest including,
but not limited to development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties, unus ual or unexpected geological
and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest, rate, grade and
timing of production differences from mineral resource estimates or production forecasts or other uninsured risks; risk related
to business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Osisko and exercise of third party rights affecting
proposed investments . The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assum ptions
management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Osisko
holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past
practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties;
no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; Osisko’s ongoing income
and assets relating to the determination of its PFIC status, no material changes to existing tax treatments; no adverse
development in respect of any significant property in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of
publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; and the absence
of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
However, there can be no assur ance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future perf ormance. Osisko cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent
with these forward-looking statements and investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to
the inherent uncertainty therein.
