Osisko Metals Gaspé Copper Project Intersects 645 Metres Averaging 0.28% Cu

MONTREAL, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the 'Company' or 'Osisko Metals') ( TSX-V: OM ; OTCQX: OMZNF ; FRANKFURT: 0B51 ) is pleased to announce new drill results from the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Osisko Metals Chief Executive Officer Robert Wares commented: ' These new results underscore the overall large-scale potential of mineralization at Gaspé Copper, with drill hole 1082 cutting 853 metres of continuous mineralization, including the bottom 424 metres being located immediately below and outside the 2024 MRE model. Furthermore, drill hole 1088 intersected new mineralization 80 metres southwest of the 2024 MRE model, emphasizing the excellent potential for increasing the size of the known deposit at depth and to the south. ' Significant new analytical results are presented below (see Table 1) and include 35 mineralized intercepts from ten drill holes. Infill intercepts are all located inside the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate model ('MRE', see November 14, 2024 news release ), and are focused on upgrading inferred mineral resources to measured or indicated categories, as applicable. Expansion intercepts are all located outside the 2024 MRE model and may potentially lead to additional resources that will be classified appropriately within the next MRE update. Some of the reported intercepts have contiguous shallower infill as well as deeper expansion (noted on Table 1 below as 'Both**'). Maps showing hole locations are available at . Highlights: Table 1: Infill and Expansion Drilling Results * Please see explanatory notes below on copper equivalent values and Quality Assurance / Quality Control. ** 'Both' indicates these drill holes have contiguous shallower infill as well as deeper expansion intercepts. Discussion Drill hole 30-0974 was an extension of a shallow (300 m) hole drilled in 2019, located near the southwestern margin of the 2024 MRE model. It returned 295.5 metres averaging 0.29% Cu and 1.88 g/t Ag (infill) followed by a second intercept of 351.2 metres averaging 0.20% Cu and 1.72 g/t Ag (expansion) and a third deeper intercept of 48.0 metres averaging 0.32% Cu and 2.00 g/t Ag (expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 780 metres. Drill hole 30-1082, located on top of Copper Mountain near the central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 48.0 metres averaging 0.19% Cu and 1.46 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a second intercept of 147.5 metres averaging 0.19% Cu and 1.86 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a third deeper intercept of 853.5 metres averaging 0.20% Cu, 1.43 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 424.0 metres averaging 0.21% Cu, 1.33 g/t Ag and 0.026% Mo. This hole extends mineralization near the centre of the deposit to a vertical depth of 1140 metres. Drill hole 30-1083, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected two short 36 metre-long mineralized zones followed by 153.0 metres averaging 0.18% Cu and 1.56 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a deeper intercept of 427.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu, 1.54 g/t Ag and 0.021% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 328.0 metres averaging 0.24% Cu, 1.43 g/t Ag and 0.020% Mo. This was followed by a final intercept of 55.5 metres averaging 0.16% Cu and 1.34 g/t Ag. This hole extends mineralization to a vertical depth of 900 metres. Drill hole 30-1087, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected a short 40 metre-long mineralized zone followed by 334.5 metres averaging 0.23% Cu, 1.93 g/t Ag and 0.011% Mo (infill). This was followed by 74.5 metres averaging 0.62% Cu and 3.19 g/t Ag and then by another 48.3 metres averaging 0.36% Cu and 2.83 g/t Ag (both expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 598 metres. Drill hole 30-1088, located 80 metres outside the southwestern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 42.0 metres averaging 0.32% Cu and 2.20 g/t Ag followed by 122.7 metres averaging 0.24% Cu and 2.63 g/t Ag. A third intersection at depth comprised 79.5 metres averaging 0.31% Cu and 2.19 g/t Ag (all expansion). Previously undocumented mineralization in this sector reached a vertical depth of 524 metres. Drill hole 30-1089, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 91.5 metres averaging 0.21% Cu and 1.54 g/t Ag (infill), followed by two short 26 to 27 metre-long mineralized zones, followed by 645.0 metres averaging 0.28% Cu, 1.46 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 396.7 metres averaging 0.30% Cu, 1.34 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. This hole extends mineralization to a vertical depth of 965 metres. Drill hole 30-1091, located in the southeastern part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected two short 23 to 26 metre-long mineralized zones, followed by 210.0 metres averaging 0.21% Cu and 2.10 g/t Ag (infill). This was followed by 38.0 metres averaging 0.22% Cu and 1.50 g/t Ag and then by another 42.6 metres averaging 1.14% Cu and 5.86 g/t Ag (both expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 583 metres where the hole was stopped in an open stope of historical E Zone mining operations. Drill hole 30-1093, located near the southeastern margin of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 112.0 metres averaging 0.25% Cu and 2.73 g/t Ag (infill), followed by four short 23 to 67 metre-long mineralized zones (all expansion), which extended mineralization to a vertical depth of 834 metres. Drill hole 30-1094, located near the southern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 227.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu and 2.11 g/t Ag (infill), followed by 57.0 metres averaging 0.13% Cu and 1.33 g/t Ag (infill), followed by two short 26 to 50 metre-long mineralized zones (both expansion), which extended mineralization to a vertical depth of 561 metres. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and stockworks of chalcopyrite with pyrite or pyrrhotite and minor bornite and molybdenite. At least five retrograde vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier prograde skarn and porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. Porcellanite is a historical mining term used to describe bleached, pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels. Subvertical stockwork mineralization dominates at Copper Mountain whereas prograde bedded replacement mineralization, which is mostly stratigraphically controlled, dominates in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. High molybdenum grades (up to 0.5% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns away from Copper Mountain. The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization ( see May 6, 2024 MRE press release ). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled prograde skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category ( see November 14, 2024 MRE press release ). The current drill program is designed to convert of the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the expansion of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026. All holes are being drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north. The L1 (C Zone) and the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization. Table 2: Drill hole locations Explanatory note regarding copper-equivalent grades Copper Equivalent grades are expressed for purposes of simplicity and are calculated taking into account: 1) metal grades; 2) estimated long-term prices of metals: US$4.25/lb copper, $20.00/lb molybdenum and US$24/oz silver; 3) estimated recoveries of 92%, 70% and 70% for Cu, Mo and Ag respectively; and 4) net smelter return value of metals as percentage of the price, estimated at 86.5%, 90.7% and 75.0% for Cu, Mo and Ag respectively.

Osisko Metals Intersects 0.33% Cu Over 258 Metres at Gaspé

Includes 15.6 Metres Averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag E Zone Skarn Returns 29.7 Metres Averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag Infill Drilling Continues to Extend Deposit at Depth Below 2024 MRE MONTREAL, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the 'Company or 'Osisko Metals') (TSX-V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRANKFURT: 0B51) is pleased to announce new drilling results from the 2025 drilling program at the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Results for eight new holes are reported below, located at the southern end of the deposit defined in the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE', see attached map and November 14, 2024 news release). Highlights (see Table 1 below): Drill hole 30-1075, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 258.0 metres averaging 0.33% Cu and 2.95 g/t Ag (including 15.6 metres averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag), and a second intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 96 metres averaging 0.54% Cu and 3.34 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 529 metres. Drill hole 30-1076, located along the southern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 208.4 metres averaging 0.40% Cu and 2.61 g/t Ag (including 12.0 metres averaging 1.91% Cu and 9.6 g/t Ag), followed by a second intercept of 70.8 metres averaging 0.25% Cu and 2.15 g/t Ag, and a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 48.9 metres averaging 0.34% Cu and 2.78 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 548 metres. Drill hole 30-1068, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 189.0 metres averaging 0.30% Cu and 2.62 g/t Ag. Drill hole 30-1070, located near the eastern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 160.5 metres averaging 0.16% Cu and 1.92 g/t Ag, followed by a second intercept of 122.8 metres averaging 0.62% Cu and 4.86 g/t Ag (including 25.6 metres averaging 2.19% Cu and 16.9 g/t Ag at the level of the C Zone skarn), followed by a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 29.7 metres averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag at the level of the E Zone skarn, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 629 metres. Drill hole 30-1075, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 258.0 metres averaging 0.33% Cu and 2.95 g/t Ag (including 15.6 metres averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag), and a second intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 96 metres averaging 0.54% Cu and 3.34 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 529 metres. Drill hole 30-1076, located along the southern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 208.4 metres averaging 0.40% Cu and 2.61 g/t Ag (including 12.0 metres averaging 1.91% Cu and 9.6 g/t Ag), followed by a second intercept of 70.8 metres averaging 0.25% Cu and 2.15 g/t Ag, and a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 48.9 metres averaging 0.34% Cu and 2.78 g/t Ag, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 548 metres. Drill hole 30-1068, located in the south-eastern portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 189.0 metres averaging 0.30% Cu and 2.62 g/t Ag. Drill hole 30-1070, located near the eastern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 160.5 metres averaging 0.16% Cu and 1.92 g/t Ag, followed by a second intercept of 122.8 metres averaging 0.62% Cu and 4.86 g/t Ag (including 25.6 metres averaging 2.19% Cu and 16.9 g/t Ag at the level of the C Zone skarn), followed by a third intercept at depth, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 29.7 metres averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag at the level of the E Zone skarn, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 629 metres. Drill hole 30-1074, located in the south-central portion of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 118.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu and 1.92 g/t Ag, and a second intercept of 167.2 metres averaging 0.22% Cu and 1.60 g/t Ag at depth below the base of the 2024 MRE model, extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 797 metres. Table 1: Drill hole mineralized intervals, see attached map for drill hole locations. Drill hole 30-1073 was drilled to the east of the 2024 MRE limit and did not intersect significant mineralization. Previously reported drill holes 30-1062 and 30-1066 were also collared to the southeast and to the east, respectively, of the 2024 MRE limit and these holes also failed to intersect significant mineralization, indicating that the deposit does not extend towards the east. The deposit remains open to the south and southwest. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW All holes were drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north; true widths are estimated at 90-92% of reported widths. The L1 (C Zone) the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites (pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels) that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite and is mostly stratigraphically controlled in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. As expected, no significant molybdenum mineralization was encountered in porcellanites in the latter areas, but high grades (up to 0.4% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns. The bulk of the molybdenum mineralization occurs in veinlet stockworks further north at Copper Mountain, where true porphyry copper-style mineralization occurs, forming a distinct secondary mineralized zone that is characterized by widespread, continuous copper-molybdenum stockwork mineralization radiating from the central source of hydrothermal fluids, i.e. the Copper Mountain porphyry intrusion. At least five vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier skarn/porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization, leading to the May 2024 MRE (see May 6, 2024 press release). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled primary skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category (see November 14, 2024 press release). The current drill program is designed to convert the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the extension of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively.

Includes 15.6 Metres Averaging 1.47% Cu and 8.5 g/t Ag E Zone Skarn Returns 29.7 Metres Averaging 1.92% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag Infill Drilling Continues to Extend Deposit at Depth Below 2024 MRE MONTREAL, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the 'Company or 'Osisko Metals') ( TSX-V: OM ; OTCQX: OMZNF ; FRANKFURT: 0B51 ) is pleased to announce new drilling results from the 2025 drilling program at the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Results for eight new holes are reported below, located at the southern end of the deposit defined in the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE', see attached map and November 14, 2024 news release ). Highlights (see Table 1 below): Table 1: Drill hole mineralized intervals, see attached map for drill hole locations. Drill hole 30-1073 was drilled to the east of the 2024 MRE limit and did not intersect significant mineralization. Previously reported drill holes 30-1062 and 30-1066 were also collared to the southeast and to the east, respectively, of the 2024 MRE limit and these holes also failed to intersect significant mineralization, indicating that the deposit does not extend towards the east. The deposit remains open to the south and southwest. All holes were drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north; true widths are estimated at 90-92% of reported widths. The L1 (C Zone) the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites (pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels) that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and veinlets of chalcopyrite and is mostly stratigraphically controlled in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. As expected, no significant molybdenum mineralization was encountered in porcellanites in the latter areas, but high grades (up to 0.4% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns. The bulk of the molybdenum mineralization occurs in veinlet stockworks further north at Copper Mountain, where true porphyry copper-style mineralization occurs, forming a distinct secondary mineralized zone that is characterized by widespread, continuous copper-molybdenum stockwork mineralization radiating from the central source of hydrothermal fluids, i.e. the Copper Mountain porphyry intrusion. At least five vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier skarn/porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization, leading to the May 2024 MRE (see May 6, 2024 press release). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled primary skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category (see November 14, 2024 press release). The current drill program is designed to convert the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the extension of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively.

Geo. is the Independent Qualified Person responsible for the technical data reported in this news release and he is a Professional Geologist registered in the Province of Quebec. Quality Assurance / Quality Control Mineralized intervals reported herein are calculated using an average 0.12% copper lower cut-off over contiguous 20-metre intersections (shorter intervals as the case may be at the upper and lower limits of reported intervals).
