Osisko Caribou Extension Increases to 1.2 Kilometres at Windfall

Wolf Zone Extended 200 Metres to NE

High-Grade Infill and Expansion Intercepts Continue

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 16, 2017) - Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) ("Osisko" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide new results from the ongoing drill program at its 100% owned Windfall Lake gold project located in Urban Township, Abitibi, Québec. The 800,000 metre drill program combines definition, expansion and exploration drilling in and around the main Windfall gold deposit and the adjacent Lynx deposit (located immediately NE of Windfall). Significant new analytical results from 59 intercepts in 35 drill holes focused on infill and expansion drilling in the Underdog, Caribou, Zone 27 and Mallard corridors of the Windfall deposit are presented below.

Highlights from the new results include: 204 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-17-936-W1; and 11.0 g/t Au over 11.2 metres in OSK-W-17-1105 in the Caribou Corridor; 87.0 g/t Au over 2.4 metres in OSK-W-17-866-W2 and 43.9 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in OSK-W-17-833-W2 in the Underdog Corridor; and 36.1 g/t over 4.0 metres in OSK-W-17-903 in Zone 27. Maps showing hole locations and full analytical results are available at www.osiskomining.com.

Mineralization is within a sericitized rhyolite and includes 4% disseminated pyrite, 2% pyrite clusters and disseminated tourmaline. This intersection is near a felsic intrusion and highlights a potential area between the main Caribou and the Lynx down plunge trends.

OSK-W-17-1116 returned 9.13 g/t Au over 3.0 metres in Zone 27. The mineralization is associated to a large quartz eyes porphyritic dike and composed of up to 10% pyrite and tourmaline veins.

OSK-W-17-1125-W3 returned 11.5 g/t Au 2.0 metres in the Wolf FW. Mineralization includes up to 30% pyrite stringers in a strongly sericitized fragmental felsic intrusion.

OSK-W-17-1137 intersected 3.01 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in Zone 27. Mineralization is composed of up to 8% pyrite stringers and up to 10% pyrite clusters within a strongly silicified rhyolite.

OSK-W-17-1138 returned 6.3 g/t Au over 16.0 metres in the Caribou Corridor. The mineralization is composed of 3% pyrite clusters, up to 10% pyrite stringers and disseminated chalcopyrite hosted in fragmental felsic dike and crustiform veins. Strong silica and fuchsite alteration are observed.

OSK-W-17-1145 intersected three intervals in Zone 27: 12.5 g/t Au over 2.4 metres, 9.93 g/t Au over 4.8 metres and 7.25 g/t Au over 5.9 metres. The mineralization is similar in the three intervals including up to 20% pyrite stringers in a strong silica flooding. The mineralization is hosted at the contact between a porphyritic felsic dike and the rhyolite.

OSK-W-17-1177 intersected 7.86 g/t Au over 3.4 metres in the extension of the Caribou Corridor. The mineralization is composed of 5% pyrite stringers associated with strong silica alteration zone within the andesite. This interval extends the Caribou Corridor 975 metres down plunge to the north-east from OSK-W-17-787 (7.21 g/t Au over 6.5 metres previously reported March 22, 2017). With this new hole, the Caribou Extension has now been traced to section 4075E, 1.2 kilometres north-east from the previous operator's 2015 resource envelope.

OSK-W-17-1224 returned 3.12 g/t Au over 2.4 metres in Mallard. Mineralization is in strongly sericitized and silicified andesite and composed of 30% quartz-carbonate veins with crustiform textures. The sulphides contain up to 2% disseminated pyrite and up to 7% pyrite stringers.

OSK-W-17-1226 intersected a new zone in the Caribou Corridor. The zone is located under a gabbro intrusion, which has the same orientation as the Red Dog, but above the main Caribou down plunge trend. The interval returned 8.29 g/t Au over 4.6 metres in a sericitized and silicified rhyolite cross-cut by felsic intrusions. The mineralization is composed of 10% pyrite stringers and locally semi-massive pyrite (10 cm wide). This new zone is located 150 metres down plunge of OSK-W-17-838 (731 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and 4.55 g/t Au over 3.0 metres previously reported August 24).

OSK-W-17-1232 returned 27.2 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in Zone 27. The mineralization is composed of 2% disseminated pyrite, 3% pyrite stringers and tourmaline veins in a strongly sericitized rhyolite.

OSK-W-17-1241 intersected 8.11 g/t Au over 3.5 metres in the upper part of the Caribou extension. Mineralization is composed of 5% pyrite stringers within a strongly sericitized fragmental intrusion. The geometry of this interval is yet to be determined.

OSK-W-17-1252 intersected 8.38 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in a new zone located 100 metres north-west of the Mallard Corridor. The mineralization is composed of 3% pyrite stringers and locally 20 centimetres scale pyrite veins within a moderately sericitized andesite.

OSK-W-17-1257 intersected three intervals in Zone 27: 7.69 g/t Au over 2.1 metres, 3.15 g/t Au over 2.3 metres and 15.4 g/t Au over 2.0 metres. The mineralization is at the contact between two porphyritic felsic dikes and is composed of up to 1% pyrite stringers, trace of pyrite clusters and one massive pyrite vein of 20 centimetres.

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical content of this news release has been reviewed, prepared and approved by Mr. Louis Grenier, M.Sc.A., P.Geo. (OGQ 800), Project Manager of the 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 widths determinations are estimated at 65-80% of the reported core length intervals for most of the zones. 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 ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or, Québec, Thunder Bay and Sudbury, Ontario or Vancouver, British Colombia or 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 the previous operator comprises 2,762,000 tonnes at 8.42 g/t Au (748.000 ounces) in the indicated category and 3,512,000 tonnes at 7.62 g/t Au (860,000 ounces) in the inferred category (sourced from a technical report dated June 10, 2015 entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Windfall Lake Gold Property, Québec, Canada" with an effective date of April 28, 2015, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101). The Windfall Lake gold deposit is currently one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada. The bulk of the mineralization occurs in the Main Zone, a southwest/northeast trending zone of stacked mineralized lenses, measuring approximately 600 metres wide and at least 1.400 metres long. The deposit is well defined from surface to a depth of 500 metres, and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralization has been identified only 30 metres from surface in some areas and as deep as 870 metres in others, with significant potential to extend mineralization up and down-plunge and at depth.
