Osisko finds Lynx 4 high-grade extension in 625m plunge, The Canadian Business Journal
The intercept confirms the potential for significant expansion of windfall
81.8 g/t Au over 3.5 meters. 22.3 g/t Au (over 4.1 meters)
TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX; “Osisko” or “Inc.”) announced new exploration results from the 100% owned Windfall gold project in Abitibi Greenstone. We are pleased to offer Belt, Urban Township, Eyou Istochy James Bay, Quebec.
Hall OSK-22-1109-W2 targeted Lynx 4’s protruding downward plunge extension at a vertical depth of 1,670 meters below the surface. The hole successfully intercepted a significant breadth of high-grade gold mineralization. 81.8 g/t Au at 3.5 meters (2.39 ounces per tonne at 11.5 feet) When 22.3 g/t Au over 4.1 meters (0.65 oz per ton over 13.4 feet). These intercepts confirm the major downplunging expansion potential of the Lynx 4 high grade zone. This could have significant implications for potential future expansion of the Windfall deposit.
The new intercept is 625 meters (2,050 feet) below the nearest resource block (Lynx 4 wireframe 3449) and is included in Windfall’s latest Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) (see Windfall MRE (2022) reference) (defined here). The technical report was submitted to SEDAR (www.sedar.com) by Osisko on September 14, 2022 under Osisko’s issuer profile. The new mineralization is typical of Lynx 4 wireframe 3449 and includes disseminated pyrite associated with strong widespread silica alteration hosted in sericitic gabbro, with locally visible gold.

Osco’s CEO, John Verzinski, commented: With the recent on-time delivery of Windfall MRE (based on approximately 1.7 million meters of drilling since 2015), we are focused on completing a final feasibility study with on-time delivery by the end of this year. Today’s downplunge results highlight the consistency and predictability of the geological model he developed for Windfall over the past six years and strongly point to much larger deposits. The addition of 625 meters in length to one of the highest grade Lynx 4 zones is a significant opportunity for Windfall to move to the top of its class compared to other important Canadian long-lived high grade gold deposits. It shows that there is a ”

Lynx Zone
Mineralization occurs as gray to translucent quartz-carbonate-pyrite-tourmaline veins and pyrite displacement zones and stockwork. Vein-type mineralization is associated with extensive halos of sericite-pyrite±silica alterations, with sulfides (mainly chalcopyrite and minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, and pyrrhotite) and locally visible gold. Displacement mineralization is associated with strong penetrating silica-sericite-ankerite ± tourmaline alterations, containing traces to 80% sporadic pyrite and locally visible gold. Pyrite stockwork can form envelopes reaching tens of meters thick. Fuchsite alteration is common and spatially restricted to near gabbros. Mineralization occurs at or near geological contacts between felsic porphyritic or fragmentary intrusions and host rhyolites or gabbros and is localized along gabbro-rhyolite contacts. may be hosted on

About Windfall Gold Deposit
The Windfall gold deposit is located between Valdor and Chibgamau in the Abitibi region of Quebec, Canada. His MRE in Windfall Technical Report entitled “Windfall Project Mineral Resource Estimate Update” dated 14 September 2022 (effective date 7 June 2022) (“Windfall MRE (2022)”); Assuming a cutoff grade of 3.50 g/t Au, 811,000 tons at 11.4 g/t Au (297,000 oz) in the Measured Mineral Resource categories, 10,250,000 tons at 11.4 g/t Au (3,754,000 oz) in the Mineral Resource categories indicated, and 8.4 g/t Au (3,337,000 oz) at 12,287,000 tonnes) in the Estimated Mineral Resource CategoryThe key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to estimate Windfall’s MRE are further discussed in Windfall MRE (2022), a complete technical report for this updated MRE prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. and SEDAR (www .sedar.com) is under Osisko’s issuer profile. The Windfall gold deposit is currently one of Canada’s highest grade resource-stage gold projects and has world-class scale. Calcification occurs in three main areas: lynx, main, and underdog. Calcification generally consists of a quasi-vertical lens following contact of intrusive porphyry plunging to the northeast. Resources are defined from the surface to a depth of 1,600 meters, including the triple eight (TP8) zone. Resources, except TP8, are defined from the surface to a depth of 1,200 meters. The deposit remains open at depth along the strike. Mineralization has been identified at the surface in some areas and down to depths of 2,625 meters in others, making it very likely that mineralization extends downplunging and at depth.
