Caribou Corridor
OSK-W-17-743-W4 returned 585 g/t Au over 2.8 metres (11.5 g/t Au over 2.8 metres cut) from the CS1 Zone.  The hole is part of the 30 metre infill program in the Caribou Zone and mineralization includes two gold veinlets 2-5 millimetres thick within a semi-massive pyrite stringer.  The host rock is a strongly sericitized andesite in contact with a felsic dike.

OSK-W-17-786 returned 5.17 g/t Au over 7.8 metres from the CS3 Zone hanging wall (CS3 Zone in same hole returned 6.64 g/t Au over 4.9 metres, see March 22, 2017 press release).  The CS3 hanging wall is 3.6 metres above the CS3 Zone.  Mineralization is composed of up to 4% pyrite stringers.

Underdog Corridor
OSK-W-17-780-W1 is part of the Underdog 50 metre infill program.  The hole returned 5.97 g/t Au over 17.0 metres including 19.7 g/t Au over 3.8 metres in the FW0 zone.  Mineralization is comprised of up to 3% pyrite stringers in a strongly silica altered hosted in a felsic fragmental dike.  The intersection contains grey quartz veins, 10-15 millimetres wide, with local visible gold.  This interval is located 50 metres west of previously reported 3.3 g/t Au over 4.0 metres intersected in OSK-W-17-780 (see April 6, 2017, press release).

OSK-W-17-789 previously intersected the Caribou Corridor (see April 6, 2017, press release) and also intersected two parallel zones inside the Underdog Corridor.  New results from this hole in the Underdog Corridor include 19.4 g/t Au over 7.9 metres (16.4 g/t Au over 7.9 metres cut) and extend the FW1 Zone 50 metres west from previous intersections.  Mineralization contains up to 4% pyrite stringers and local visible gold hosted in a strongly sericitized and silicified felsic porphyry.  A second intersection associated with the FW1 footwall returned 9.15 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, including local visible gold in a semi-massive pyrite stringer.

Lynx Corridor
OSK-W-17-802 intersected two crustiform veins returning respectively 24.9 g/t Au over 3.1 metres and 3.99 g/t Au over 2.6 metres in the Lynx Corridor.  Pyrite-tourmaline stringers are composed of up to 7% pyrite and local visible gold at the vein contact.  This intersection is located 60 metres north-west of previously reported OSK-W-17-760 which returned 14.1 g/t Au over 3 meters (see January 11, 2017, press release).

OSK-W-17-803 intersected two mineralized zone in the Lynx Corridor.  The first intersection corresponds to the hanging wall of Lynx Zone, and returned 5.23 g/t Au over 2.3 metres.  Mineralization is composed of sulphide-rich silica bands including local visible gold.  The second intersection corresponds to the Lynx Zone and returned 19.1 g/t Au over 2.9 metres in the similar mineralization.  Both intersections are located 60 metres north-west of OSK-W-17-802 (described above).

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
True width determinations in the Caribou and Underdog zones are estimated at 65 – 80% true core lengths.  True width determinations in the Lynx Zone have yet to be determined.  Assay are uncut except where indicated, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 metres using a lower cutoff of 3 g/t Au. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1 kilogram whole rock metallic screen/fire assay or standard 50 gram fire-assaying with AA or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val dOr, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. The 1 kilogram metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. All samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

The Lynx Zone is a recently discovered corridor of gold mineralization located to the East of the main Windfall deposit mineralized zones.  To date it has been intersected at shallow depths (60 metres) and up to 330 metres below surface, over a strike length of over 300 metres and remains open laterally and at depth. The Lynx Zone was discovered as a result of the step-out drilling program which was designed to test an east-northeast magnetic low corridor containing altered porphyry dikes similar to those previously defined in the main deposit area.  Mineralization consists of a series of crustiform veins and heavily silicified, pyrite-rich alteration bands hosted in strongly silicified and sericitized rhyolite and porphyry dikes. The veins and silicified bands are intersected at various angles, including low core angles, suggesting they may represent a vein network.  Additional drilling will be conducted in a southeast direction to further evaluate the abundance and true thickness of the veins and silicified bands.  True thicknesses of reported intersections are presently unknown.

OSK-W-17-788 intersected three zones of high silicified pyrite-rich alteration bands containing 5-10% pyrite with local visible gold.  The first zone is an expansion of a previously released interval from this hole, based on receipt of additional assays (previously reported 57.0 g/t Au over 3.6 metres, see March 28, 2017 press release).  The new calculated interval averaged 17.0 g/t Au over 17.3 metres (12.8 g/t Au over 17.3 metres cut).  The second and third intersections returned 6.21 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 3.76 g/t Au over 2.0 metres respectively, and correspond to the Lynx foot wall.  All mineralization is hosted in a sericitized and silicified rhyolite.

OSK-W-17-792 is a newly calculated expanded interval based on the receipt of additional analytical results from this hole (71.4 g/t Au over 5.4 metres, see March 28, 2017 press release).  The new calculated interval averages 42.2 g/t Au over 9.2 metres (25.2 g/t Au over 9.2 metres cut).  Mineralization is composed of silicified pyrite-rich alteration bands containing 5-20% pyrite and local visible gold hosted in a sericitized and silicified rhyolite.  This interval is located 40 metres above and 20 metres to the east of 11.3 g/t Au over 3.6 metres in previously reported OSK-W-17-790 (see March 28, 2017 press release).

OSK-W-17-799 intersected four zones 60 metres down plunge of OSK-W-17-792.  The first zone returned 10.6 g/t Au over 1.9 metres in the hanging wall.  The mineralization consists of silicified pyrite-rich bands hosted in a sericitized interval at the contact between a fragmental felsic intrusive and a mafic dike.  The main Lynx Zone returned 49.7 g/t Au over 4.6 metres (50.9 g/t over 4.6 metres uncut) in a felsic intrusive cross-cut by several highly silicified bands containing up to 25% pyrite and local visible gold. The third zone returned 41.4 g/t Au over 4.4 metres (63.8 g/t Au over 4.4 meters uncut) and corresponds to the Lynx foot wall.  The mineralization style is the same as the second zone but localized at the lower contact of the felsic intrusive.  The last zone intersected contained a crustiform vein including 5% pyrite and local visible gold.  The vein cross-cuts a mafic dike.  The interval returned 11.0 g/t Au over 6.5 metres.

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr.Louis Grenier., P.Geo. Project Manager of the Windfall Lake gold project, who is a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
True width determinations in the Lynx Zone have yet to be determined.  Assay are uncut except where indicated, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 metres using a lower cutoff of 3 g/t Au. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1 kilogram whole rock metallic screen/fire assay or standard 50 gram fire-assaying with AA or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val dOr, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. The 1 kilogram metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. All samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

The Fox Zone is located approximately 3.7 kilometres WNW of the main Windfall deposit mineralized zones and is included in the Urban Barry regional exploration program.  Fox was discovered by OSX-W-16-717.  The zone was discovered on a stratigraphic drill fence which was designed to investigate an ENE magnetic low corridor containing altered porphyry dikes similar to those previously defined in the main deposit area. 

Mineralization at Fox appears to be identical to the main Windfall deposit, and occurs within zones of strong texturally destructive sericite and silica alteration in bleached mafic volcanics and porphyry dikes containing pyrite stringers.  The gold mineralization at Fox is associated with porphyry dikes and occurs in both the hanging wall and the footwall of the dikes.   Additional drilling is ongoing to test lateral and depth extensions of the mineralization.

OSK-UB-17-034 tested the Fox corridor and intersected 7.22 g/t over 3.2 metres (including 22.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metre) in a fragmental volcanic rock containing 2% pyrrhotite with sericite and quartz vein fragments.  This intersect is located 150 metres ENE of previously reported hole OSK-U-16-734 (27.6 g/t Au over 3.1 metres, previously released) which corresponds with the Fox 3 mineralized zone.

OSK-UB-17-035 intersected a shallow mineralized zone, 55 metres from hole OSK-U-16-732 (8.04 g/t Au over 3 metres, previously released), returning 2.48 g/t Au over 3.2 metres in a moderately sericitized basalt with 1-3 % pyrite stringers.  This hole also intersected the Fox 3 zone which returned values of 8.37 g/t Au over 2.8 metres (including 48.0 g/t over 0.3 metres).  The zone is characterized by a fragmental porphyry dike strongly altered in silica and sericite which contains 3% pyrite stringers and visible gold.  This hole extends the Fox 3 zone by 175 metres ENE from previously reported hole OSK-U-16-734.

The Lynx Zone is a recently discovered corridor of gold mineralization located to the East of the main Windfall deposit mineralized zones.  To date it has been intersected at shallow depths (60 metres) and up to 330 metres below surface, over a strike length of over 300 metres and remains open laterally and at depth. The Lynx Zone was discovered as a result of the step-out drilling program which was designed to test an east-northeast magnetic low corridor containing altered porphyry dykes similar to those previously defined in the main deposit area.  Mineralization consists of a series of crustiform veins and heavily silicified, pyrite-rich alteration bands hosted in strongly silicified and sericitized rhyolite and porphyry dikes.  The veins and silicified bands are intersected at various angles, including low core angles, suggesting they may represent a vein network.  Additional drilling will be conducted to the southeast to further evaluate the abundance and true thickness of the veins and silicified bands.  True thicknesses of reported intersections are presently unknown.

OSK-W-17-779 tested the Lynx corridor and intersected 16.9 g/t Au over 7.9 metres (21.7 g/t Au over 7.9 metres uncut) followed by 18.1 g/t over 2.5 metres and 15.6 g/t Au over 2.7 metres in crustiform veins containing 1-5% pyrite and local visible gold. The veins are hosted in silicified and sericitized rhyolite. Veining was generally intersected at 20 to 40 degrees to the axis of the core and the true width of the vein system is undetermined at this time.

OSK-W-17-788 returned 36.6 g/t Au over 3.6 metres (57.0 g/t Au over 3.6 metres uncut) followed by 21.1 g/t Au over 3.7 metres in a series of sub-parallel highly silicified pyrite-rich alteration bands with local visible gold hosted in a sericitized and silicified rhyolite containing 1-5% pyrite stringers and disseminations.

OSK-W-17-790 intersected 11.3 g/t Au over 3.6 metres in a series of highly silicified pyrite-rich alteration bands hosted in a sericitized and silicified porphyry dyke containing 3-5% pyrite stringers and disseminations.

OSK-W-17-792 averaged 42.5 g/t Au over 5.4 metres (71.4 g/t Au over 5.4 metres uncut) in a series of silicified pyrite-rich alteration bands containing 5-20% pyrite and local visible gold hosted in a sericitized and silicified rhyolite. This interval is located 40 metres above and 20 metres to the east of 11.3 g/t Au over 3.6 metres in OSK-W-17-790 described above.

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
True width determinations in the Lynx Zone have yet to be determined.  Assay are uncut except where indicated, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 metres using a lower cutoff of 3 g/t Au. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1 kilogram whole rock metallic screen/fire assay or standard 50 gram fire-assaying with AA or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val dOr, Québec or Sudbury, Ontario. The 1 kilogram metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. All samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using an Aqua Regia-ICP-AES method at ALS laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

Caribou Corridor

OSK-W-17-776 tested the down-plunge extension of the Caribou Zone and intersected 6.42g/t Au over 6.0 metres. This intercept is located 115 metres down-plunge from previously reported hole OSK-W-16-753 (7.92 g/t Au over 7.5 metres). The zone consists of 1 to 5% pyrite stringers and disseminations at the contact between a porphyry and mafic volcanics.

OSK-W-17-766-W1 intersected a new zone in the Caribou Corridor with 15.6 g/t Au over 5.8 metres. This new zone, located 40 metres in the footwall of the CS1 Zone, consists of 2 to 15% pyrite stringers with several specks of visible gold. This zone was cross-cut at depth by Red Dog.

OSK-W-17-777 extended the CS3 zone by 16 metres in its down-dip extension with 9.01 g/t Au over 4.0 metres. The zone contains 15% pyrite stringers hosted in a strongly silicified and sericitized porphyry dyke.

OSK-W-17-778 is an infill hole on the CS1 zone assaying 15.0 g/t Au over 3.5 metres. The hole is located 57 metres up and to the east of previously reported hole OBM-15-560 (11.0 g/t Au over 6.1 metres). The zone contains of 10-30% pyrite stringers hosted in strongly silicified and sericitized andesite. This hole also intersected 13.5 g/t Au over 2.7 metres in a crustiform vein containing several specks of visible gold located in the hanging wall of Caribou Zone.

OSK-W-17-781 intersected 15.3 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in a zone containing 5-10% pyrite stringers and crustiform veinlets located in the footwall of a shear zone. The hole also extended the CS1 zone down-plunge by 120 metres with 3.05 g/t Au over 2.5 metres in a bleached andesite containing 5-10% pyrite stringers.

OSK-W-17-786 tested the continuity of the CS3 zone and extended the zone by another 35 metres in its down-plunge extension with 6.64 g/t au over 4.9 metres. This intercept is located 30 metres down-plunge of OSK-W-17-777 described above. Mineralization consists of 5-10% pyrite stringers and disseminations hosted in silicified and sericitized andesite.

OSK-W-17-789 is an infill hole testing the CS1 Zone. It returned 5.12 g/t Au over 7.4 metres in silicified and sericitized porphyry dyke containing 7% pyrite stringers. This new intercept is located 60 metres down plunge of previously reported hole OSK-W-16-749 (12.7 g/t Au over 5.4 metres) and 60 metres up-plunge from previously reported hole OSK-W-16-706 (8.65 g/t Au over 3.0 metres).

Caribou Corridor Extension Drilling

OSK-W-17-787 confirms high grade gold mineralization on the 500 metre step-out section testing the ENE extension of the Caribou Corridor.  The new hole intersected 7.21 g/t Au over 6.5 metres (including 24.1 g/t Au over 1 metre) in a silicified rhyolite containing 4-7% pyrite stringers and disseminations and crustiform veining. This intersection is located 60 metres above and 100 metres east of hole previously reported OSK-W-16-755 (2.1 g/t Au over 4.9 metres) which indicated the possible extension of the Caribou Corridor.  Further results are pending for this hole.

OSK-G16-317 was a vertical hole targeting 100 metres west of hole OSK-G16-209X in the Garrcon Deep Zone.  Drilling in the Garrcon resource intersecting shallow mineralization averaging 1.38 g/t Au over 26.0 metres.  Hole OSK-G17-317A was a wedge from hole OSK-G16-317 which did intersect the target zone, including 4.6 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 6.4 g/t Au over 2.0 metres

OSK-G17-331 drilled through the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone, intersected the 903 Zone and later along the footwall of the fault zone intersected the western extension of the Garrcon Zone, including an interval averaging 10.9 g/t Au over 3.9 metres. This represents a 650 metre extension west of the defined Garrcon Zone resource area.  Additional drill holes are planned to follow up on these potentially significant new results.  The mineralization within the hole shows the same character as the Garrcon Zone with areas of strong silicification and alteration of the Temiskaming metasediments.

OSK-G17-324 targeted the western extension of the 903 Zone and intersected 13.8 g/t Au over 2.0 metres within syenite.  This hole is 500 metres west of previously reported results from drill hole OSK-G17-326 (16.7 g/t Au over 16.4 metres).

OSK-G17-328 was drilled within the central section of the 903 Zone and intersected an interval averaging 1.07 g/t Au over 32.4 metres within altered syenite.

OSK-G17-332 was drilled within the central portion of the 903 Zone intersecting shallow gold mineralization averaging 1.09 g/t Au over 17.0 metres.

OSK-G17-321, 327, 330, 335 and 342 did not return any significant intervals.

All HQ core assays reported were obtained by either whole sample rock metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30 gram fire-assaying with AA finish at SGS Minerals Services in Cochrane, Ontario. The whole sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 4g/t. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays

About the Garrison Project
The Garrison Project area is comprised of 214 mineral claims, 25 mining leases, and 87 patent claims encompassing approximately 8,000 hectares.

Both Garrcon and Jonpol have resource estimates that are described in a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which was completed by a previous operator Northern Gold Mining Inc. (entitled “Technical Report on the Golden Bear Project – Garrison Property: Larder Lake Mining Division, Garrison Township, Ontario, Canada”) dated December 30, 2013, with an effective date of December 30, 2013 (the “Garrison Technical Report”). The Garrison Technical Report was prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited for Northern Gold Mining Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko) and is available on Osiskos website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Northern Gold Mining Inc.s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Resource estimates were conducted by A.C.A. Howe International Limited according to CIM standards. The Garrcon Zone estimates showed 15.1 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.07 g/t Au (521,000 oz) in measured resources; 14.1 million tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au (526,000 oz) in indicated resources; and 1.7 million tonnes averaging 0.72 g/t Au (39,000 oz) in inferred resources. Potential underground resources of 5.1 million tonnes averaging 3.49 g/t Au (577,000 oz) in the inferred category were also outlined. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au for open pit extraction and 1.5 g/t in a bulk underground mining scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

At the Jonpol Zone, resources were estimated as 0.87 million tonnes averaging 5.34 g/t Au (150,000 oz) in the indicated category; and 1.07 million tonnes averaging 5.56 g/t Au (192,000 oz) in inferred resources. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au and assume an underground extraction scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

Readers are cautioned that inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Garrcon Zone
The Garrcon Zone has a shallow plunge eastward along the footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone with the bulk of the resource in the western, more densely drilled area. The zone is exposed at surface and has potential for open pit bulk mining at an estimated overall stripping ratio of 1.8:1. There is potential for additional underground resources below the pit and along the easterly plunge of the zone, which is open for further exploration down dip and along strike.

The Garrcon shaft was sunk in 1935 and 1936 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada (“Cominco”) and the Shaft and South Zones were tested for high grade gold mineralization. Cominco drove approximately 1,430 metres of drifts and cross cuts, mining underground veins. Diamond drilling by Cominco and Lac Minerals Ltd. in the mid-to-late 1980s identified broad sections of low grade mineralization. In 2006-2007, ValGold Resources Ltd. conducted additional drilling confirming these zones. From 2009-2013 Northern Gold Mining Inc. conducted 97,000 metres of diamond drilling which delineated the current resource.

In 2014, Northern Gold Mining Inc. was granted a trial mining permit allowing the extraction of up to 150,000 tonnes. Northern Gold Mining Inc. mined 73,534 dry tonnes which was processed at the nearby Holt mill facility recovering 3,516.3 oz at an average head grade of 1.55 g/t and recovery of 95.9%. The trial production permit remains active.

Jonpol Zone
Jonpol is situated in the Munro Fault Zone, a west striking splay off the north side of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Hosted in a shear zone tens of metres wide in altered mafic volcanic rocks, the deposit consists of four high grade gold mineralized zones (JP, JD, RP and East) over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz carbonate veins, in mafic and ultramafic host rocks, and is associated with intense albite and/or sericite alteration and pyrite mineralization.

In 1997, a 49,087 tonne bulk sample was extracted from the central part of the JP zone by Hillsborough Resources Limited with an average grade of 6.7 g/t which produced 9,476 ounces Au. From 1985-2013, over 130,000 metres of drilling was completed on the property by previous operators. Development work on the JP zone included the sinking of a 184 metre shaft as well as development of a ramp to the 150 metre level with mining on six sublevels. The Jonpol infrastructure underwent reclamation in the late 1990s and was closed out in 2001, but the existing ramp and shaft are preserved.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

Underdog Corridor

Drill holes OSK-W-16-754 and OSK-W-743-W2 expanded the mineralization in the Underdog Corridor. This sector is identified as a high priority for drilling due to its potential to quickly generate new mineral resources.  The FW3 Zone, to date identified over an area of 640 metres laterally and 730 metres vertically, remains open up and down plunge.

OSK-W-16-754 intersected 9.76 g/t Au over 7.3 metres in a moderately sericitized and silicified porphyry dike containing 4-8% pyrite stringers.  This intersection is located 160 metres down plunge from previously drilled OBM-15-564 (which returned 5.32 g/t Au over 2.1 metres) and confirms the extension of the high grade FW3 gold mineralization to a vertical depth of 1,190 metres.  This hole also indicates that the FW3 Zone remains open at depth and down-plunge.

OSK-W-16-743-W2 intersected 9.10 g/t Au over 2.6 meters, extending the FW2 Zone by 265 metres down-plunge from previously drilled OSK-W-16-743-W1 (which returned 8.13 g/t Au over 2.6 metres), and 210 metres below the previously drilled DDH OSK-W-16-743 (which returned 47.0 g/t Au over 2.6 metres; 303.1 g/t Au over 2.6 metres uncut).  Mineralization consists of traces to 10% pyrite stringers and disseminations in a strongly silicified and sericitized fragmental porphyry dike. The FW0 Zone returned 3.52 g/t Au over 2.9 metres in a strongly sericitized andesite containing 3-10% pyrite stringers and disseminations. 

Caribou Corridor

OSK-W-16-762 intersected several parallel zones of the Caribou Corridor.  The Caribou South 3 (CS3) Zone was expanded by 87 metres in its SW extension with 7.61 g/t Au over 7.0 metres at the contact between a strongly sericitized and silicified andesite and porphyry dikes.  The CS3-FW Zone intersected 8.95 g/t Au over 2.1 metres in a weakly sericitized andesite containing 2-3% pyrite stringers and disseminations.  The CS1 Zone returned 8.89 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in a weakly sericitized andesite containing 1-3% pyrite stringers.

Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-dOr and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The current mineral resource comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748,000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada” with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1,400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.

DDH OSK-G16-312 targeted deep mineralization within the Jonpol Zone by drilling through the Garrcon mineralized horizon.  It successfully identified a new zone of mineralization within the western portion of the Garrcon Zone.  The new mineralization is hosted within metasedimentary rocks along the south contact of an iron formation and averaged 3.63 g/t Au over 5.2 metres.  The Garrcon Zone mineralization was previously not known to extend west of the iron formation.  The hole encountered difficulties and was abandoned prior to reaching the Jonpol Zone.

DDH OSK-G16-322 tested the main 903 Zone syenite target, intersecting an anomalous interval grading 1.15 g/t Au over 23.8 metres starting at 206 metres.

DDH OSK-G17-326 targeted the main 903 Zone syenite, intersecting several large quartz veins with mineralization at the collar of the hole to a depth of 120 metres. Mineralization within the main syenite zone (associated with coarse disseminated pyrite) occurs in a shallow interval near the collar averaging 7.62g/t Au over 2.6 metres, and 16.7 g/t Au over 16.4 metres (8.52 g/t Au over 16.4 metres cut) starting at 80 metres down hole.

OSK-G17-323 did not intersect any significant mineralization.

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this press release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Greg Matheson, P.Geo. Senior Project Manager of the Garrison gold project, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).

Quality Control
True widths of the new exploration intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined. Additional drilling is planned for the immediate area which will enable the true width determination. Assays are uncut except where indicated, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 metres using a lower cutoff of 3 g/t Au. All HQ core assays reported were obtained by either whole sample rock metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30 gram fire-assaying with AA finish at SGS Minerals Services in Cochrane, Ontario. The whole sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 4g/t. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Garrison Project
The Garrison Project area is comprised of 214 mineral claims, 25 mining leases, and 87 patent claims encompassing approximately 8,000 hectares.

Both Garrcon and Jonpol have resource estimates that are described in a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which was completed by a previous operator Northern Gold Mining Inc. (entitled “Technical Report on the Golden Bear Project – Garrison Property: Larder Lake Mining Division, Garrison Township, Ontario, Canada”) dated December 30, 2013, with an effective date of December 30, 2013 (the “Garrison Technical Report”). The Garrison Technical Report was prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited for Northern Gold Mining Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko) and is available on Osiskos website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Northern Gold Mining Inc.s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Resource estimates were conducted by A.C.A. Howe International Limited according to CIM standards. The Garrcon Zone estimates showed 15.1 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.07 g/t Au (521,000 oz) in measured resources; 14.1 million tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au (526,000 oz) in indicated resources; and 1.7 million tonnes averaging 0.72 g/t Au (39,000 oz) in inferred resources. Potential underground resources of 5.1 million tonnes averaging 3.49 g/t Au (577,000 oz) in the inferred category were also outlined. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au for open pit extraction and 1.5 g/t in a bulk underground mining scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

At the Jonpol Zone, resources were estimated as 0.87 million tonnes averaging 5.34 g/t Au (150,000 oz) in the indicated category; and 1.07 million tonnes averaging 5.56 g/t Au (192,000 oz) in inferred resources. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au and assume an underground extraction scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

Readers are cautioned that inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Garrcon Zone
The Garrcon Zone has a shallow plunge eastward along the footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone with the bulk of the resource in the western, more densely drilled area. The zone is exposed at surface and has potential for open pit bulk mining at an estimated overall stripping ratio of 1.8:1. There is potential for additional underground resources below the pit and along the easterly plunge of the zone, which is open for further exploration down dip and along strike.

The Garrcon shaft was sunk in 1935 and 1936 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada (“Cominco”) and the Shaft and South Zones were tested for high grade gold mineralization. Cominco drove approximately 1,430 metres of drifts and cross cuts, mining underground veins. Diamond drilling by Cominco and Lac Minerals Ltd. in the mid-to-late 1980s identified broad sections of low grade mineralization. In 2006-2007, ValGold Resources Ltd. conducted additional drilling confirming these zones. From 2009-2013 Northern Gold Mining Inc. conducted 97,000 metres of diamond drilling which delineated the current resource.

In 2014, Northern Gold Mining Inc. was granted a trial mining permit allowing the extraction of up to 150,000 tonnes. Northern Gold Mining Inc. mined 73,534 dry tonnes which was processed at the nearby Holt mill facility recovering 3,516.3 oz at an average head grade of 1.55 g/t and recovery of 95.9%. The trial production permit remains active.

Jonpol Zone
Jonpol is situated in the Munro Fault Zone, a west striking splay off the north side of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Hosted in a shear zone tens of metres wide in altered mafic volcanic rocks, the deposit consists of four high grade gold mineralized zones (JP, JD, RP and East) over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz carbonate veins, in mafic and ultramafic host rocks, and is associated with intense albite and/or sericite alteration and pyrite mineralization.

In 1997, a 49,087 tonne bulk sample was extracted from the central part of the JP zone by Hillsborough Resources Limited with an average grade of 6.7 g/t which produced 9,476 ounces Au. From 1985-2013, over 130,000 metres of drilling was completed on the property by previous operators. Development work on the JP zone included the sinking of a 184 metre shaft as well as development of a ramp to the 150 metre level with mining on six sublevels. The Jonpol infrastructure underwent reclamation in the late 1990s and was closed out in 2001, but the existing ramp and shaft are preserved.
