Osisko Intersects 63.2 g/t Au Over 7.7 Metres At Windfall

Wide Zones of High Grade Mineralization Continue in Underdog

(Toronto, August 1st 2017)  Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX, “Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide new results from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned Windfall Lake gold project located in Urban Township, Abitibi, Québec. The current 400,000 metres drill program combines definition drilling in Zone 27, definition drilling above the Red Dog intrusion (“Red Dog”), expansion drilling above and below Red Dog, and expansion/definition drilling in the adjacent Lynx deposit located immediately to the NE of Windfall. Significant new assays from thirty-five intercepts in twenty-two drill holes focused on infill and expansion drilling in the Underdog, Caribou and Zone 27 Corridors are reported below.

Highlights from the new results include:  63.2 g/t Au over 7.7 metres (23.7 g/t Au over 7.7 metres cut) in DDH OSK-OBM-16-609; 8.44 g/t Au over 12.0 metres in DDH OSK-W-847; 9.18 g/t Au over 10.0 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-833-W2; 30.1 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-847-W1;  29.8 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-847;  24.4 g/t Au over 2.5 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-855;  20.4 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-847;  13.4 g/t Au over 4.8 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-871;  18.7 g/t Au over 3.5 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-844;  and 18.6 g/t Au over 3.5 metres in DDH OSK-W-17-854-W2.

This interval is within a moderately altered zone containing pervasive silica, strong pervasive sericite and weak fracture-filling carbonates within a large quartz-eye porphyritic felsic intrusion. Mineralization occurs mainly in massive stringers accompanied by tourmaline veinlets and between 20 to 40% pyrite stringers. This interval corresponds to the Caribou Zone proper, 25 metres southwest of OSK-W-17-871 that returned 13.4 g/t Au over 4.8 metres (this press release).

Zone 27

OSK-W-17-818 intersected 5.86 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, including 29.0 g/t Au over 0.4 metres. Mineralization consists of quartz veins with trace disseminated pyrite and 8% of pyrite stringers hosted within a porphyritic intermediate intrusion.

OSK-W-17-864 intersected 8.22 g/t Au over 6.0 metres, including 22.7 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 14.9 g/t Au over 1.7 metres. Mineralization occurs in a highly silicified intermediate volcanic unit and is composed of up to 20% pyrite associated with silicate flooding and up to 10% disseminated pyrite and traces disseminated chalcopyrite. The host rock is a contact between a large quartz-eye porphyritic felsic intrusion and an altered intermediate volcanic unit. This interval corresponds to Z27 Zone, 50 metres northeast of OBM-16-664 which returned 4.64 g/t Au over 10.2 metres (previously released June 16, 2016).

OSK-W-17-880 intersected 5.38 g/t Au over 2.5 metres. Mineralization is composed of up to 20% pyrite in intermediate volcanic rock units and 5% pyrite in a silicified felsic intrusion. This interval coincides to the Z27 Zone, 27 metres southwest of OSK-W-17-871 that returned 3.18 g/t Au over 2.7 metres (this press release).

Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed. prepared and approved by Mr. Louis Grenier. M.Sc.A.. P.Geo. (OGQ 800). 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 are estimated at 65 – 80% true core lengths.  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. or Bureau Veritas in Timmins. Ontario. using the same protocols. 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. Selected 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 mineral resource defined by the previous operator 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.
