Osisko holds a 100% interest in the high-grade Windfall gold deposit located between Val-d'Or and Chibougamau in Québec and holds a 100% undivided interest in a large area of claims in the surrounding the Urban Barry area and nearby Quévillon area (over 2,700 square kilometres).

The gross proceeds from the sale of Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Corporation to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (within the meaning of Income Tax Act (Canada)) related to the Corporation's projects in Québec on or prior to December 31, 2022 for renunciation to subscribers of Flow-Through Shares effective December 31, 2021.
