Osisko Metals Expands Gaspé Copper Project with High-Grade Intercepts — Osisko Metals Incorporated

Event summary

Osisko Metals reported 256.5 meters averaging 0.85% Cu in drill hole 30-1228, including a high-grade sub-interval of 28.5 meters averaging 4.74% Cu and 27.4 g/t Ag.
The drill program at Gaspé Copper Project includes 28 mineralized intercepts from 12 drill holes, focusing on upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources to Measured or Indicated categories.
New assay results are being received at a faster pace, with continuous updates expected throughout the fall.
The current mineral resource estimate for Gaspé Copper includes pit-constrained Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.83 Bt averaging 0.32% CuEq and Inferred Mineral Resources of 239 Mt averaging 0.46% CuEq.

The big picture

Osisko Metals' latest drill results at the Gaspé Copper Project highlight the potential for significant resource expansion and higher-grade mineralization. The project, hosting the largest undeveloped copper resource in eastern North America, is strategically positioned near existing infrastructure in Québec. The company's focus on upgrading mineral resources and testing expansion areas aligns with broader industry trends of optimizing undeveloped assets in mining-friendly regions.
