Osisko Metals Hits High-Grade Copper Intercepts at Gaspé Project
Event summary
- Osisko Metals reported 80-meter intercept averaging 1.93% Cu at Gaspé Copper Project in June 2026.
- Two drill holes revealed significant mineralized intervals, including high-grade subinterval of 30 meters averaging 3.49% Cu.
- Current drill program aims to upgrade inferred resources to measured/indicated categories and test expansion potential.
- Gaspé Copper hosts largest undeveloped copper resource in eastern North America with 1.83 Bt Measured & Indicated and 239 Mt Inferred.
The big picture
Osisko's positive early drill results at Gaspé come as copper demand remains strong amid global energy transition needs. The project's strategic location in Québec and its significant resource base position it as a potential future copper supplier. Success in converting resources and expanding the deposit could make it increasingly attractive to larger mining companies or strategic investors.
