Name of the Project
Cariboo gold project.

Location
Wells-Barkerville mining camp, in the District of Wells, British Columbia, Canada.

Project Owner/s
Osisko Gold Royalties acquired Cariboo in September 2019 through the acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines.

Project Description
The Cariboo gold project is an extremely scarce asset, with current resources totalling 3.2-million ounces in the measured and indicated resource category, and 2.7-million ounces in the inferred resource category.

The project is advancing through permitting as a 4 750 t/d underground operation, with a feasibility study on track for completion in the second half of 2021 and full permits expected in 2022. This will be followed by a short construction period, as there is significant infrastructure on site already, including a functioning mill.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to contribute about 320 permanent jobs during the production phase and an additional 120 during the construction phase.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The project has an estimated pretax net present value, at a 5% discount rate, of C$632.7-million and an internal rate of return of 34.9%, with a payback after the start of operations of 2.9 years.

Capital Expenditure
Preproduction capital expenditure is estimated at C$305.5-million.

Planned Start/End Date
Mine construction is expected to start mid-2021.

Latest Developments
Osisko Development has advised of its subsidiary Barkerville Gold Mines’ entering into a participation agreement with Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) to jointly develop the Cariboo gold project.

Osisko has said that the agreement supports the parties’ mutual vision of developing a socially and environmentally sustainable mine.

The agreement speaks to the company’s desire to develop opportunities through collective sharing of culture and worldview
