Osisko Infills New High Grade at Lynx
TORONTO, May 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX. "Osisko" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide new infill drilling results from the ongoing definition and expansion program at its 100% owned Windfall gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.
The program includes infill drilling within the main Windfall gold deposit and the adjacent Lynx deposit (located immediately NE of Windfall), exploration and expansion drilling on the main mineralized zones, and deep exploration in the central areas of the intrusive system. Significant new analytical results from 52 intercepts in 15 drill holes and 9 wedges focused on infill drilling from surface and underground are presented below.
Osisko President and Chief Executive Officer John Burzynski commented: "Our infill drill program at Windfall continues to give us confidence that we will see strong results when we table our next resource estimate later this year. We are having great success at the drill bit, particularly from the Lynx Zone which remains open to depth with excellent grades. Day-by-day our exploration team is growing the Windfall deposit, confirming our belief that we are onto a world-class high-grade system."
Highlights from new infill drilling results include: 96.7 g/t Au over 4.8 metres in OSK-W-19-1891; 189 g/t Au over 2.4 metres in OSK-W-19-1831; 86.9 g/t Au over 3.7 metres in OSK-W-18-1477; 75.8 g/t Au over 4.0 metres in OSK-W-19-1181-W7; 37.6 g/t Au over 7.8 metres in OSK-W-17-934-W4; 105 g/t Au over 2.2 metres in OSK-W-18-1477 and 26.0 g/t Au over 7.9 metres in OSK-W-19-1414-W8.

Mineralization includes 2% pyrite stringers associated with a quartz-tourmaline vein and 1% disseminated pyrite hosted in a moderate sericite and weak silica altered porphyritic felsic dike. WST-18-0083 was drilled from underground drill station AN-190-155-N located 190 metres below surface on section 2300E.
WST-19-0085 intersected 5.73 g/t Au over 2.1 metres in Caribou. Mineralization is composed of 1% pyrite clusters in quartz-tourmaline veins hosted in a moderate sericite and weak silica altered porphyritic felsic dike. WST-19-0085 was drilled from underground drill station AN-190-155-N located 190 metres below surface on section 2300E.
WST-19-0088 intersected 4.37 g/t Au over 2.6 metres and 6.28 g/t Au over 2.8 metres in Zone 27. The first interval is composed of 4% disseminated, clustered, and stringer pyrite in a moderate chlorite altered and fragmental andesite. The second interval is composed of 3% disseminated and clustered pyrite, and 1% pyrite stringers in a brecciated, tourmaline-rich fragmental andesite. WST-19-0088 was drilled from underground drill station AN-190-155-N located 190 metres below surface on section 2300E.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Louis Grenier, M.Sc.A., P.Geo. (OGQ 800), Project Manager of Osisko's 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 determination is estimated at 55-80% of the reported core length interval for the zone. Assays are uncut except where indicated. Intercepts occur within geological confines of major zones but have not been correlated to individual vein domains at this time. Reported intervals include minimum weighted averages of 3.0 g/t Au diluted over core lengths of at least 2.0 metres. All NQ core assays reported were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at (i) ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or, Québec, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Sudbury, Ontario or Vancouver, British Colombia, or (ii) Bureau Veritas in Timmins, Ontario. The 1-kilogram 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 ("QA/QC") and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for QA/QC purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assay.
About the Windfall Lake Gold Deposit
The Windfall Lake gold deposit is located between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The mineral resource defined by Osisko, as disclosed in the Windfall Lake Technical Report (as defined below) and November 27, 2018 Lynx resource update, comprises 2,874,000 tonnes at 8.17 g/t Au (754,000 ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 10,352,000 tonnes at 7.11 g/t Au (2,366,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category. For details regarding the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources presented in respect of the Windfall Lake gold project, please see the technical report entitled "Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate for the Windfall Lake Project, Windfall Lake and Urban-Barry Properties" and dated June 12, 2018 (effective date of May 14, 2018), which has been prepared by InnovExplo Inc. from Val-d'Or, Québec (the "Windfall Lake Technical Report") and the press release "Osisko Releases Mineral Resource Update for Lynx" dated November 27, 2018, which has been prepared by Osisko and reviewed and approved by Micon International, Ltd. from Toronto, Ontario. The Windfall Lake Technical Report and press release are available on Osisko's website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Osisko's issuer profile at www.sedar.com. The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. Mineralization occurs in four principal zones: Lynx, Zone 27, Caribou and Underdog. All zones comprise sub-vertical lenses following intrusive porphyry contacts plunging to the northeast. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 900 metres and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 2,000 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth.
