TRANSCRIPT
2015 Q3 ResultsNovember 5th, 2015
Certain statements contained in this presentation may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, that
address future events, developments or performance that Osisko (the “Corporation”) expect to occur including managements’ expectations regarding the Corporation’s growth,
results of operations, estimated future revenues, requirements for additional capital, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities are
forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans",
"anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations (Including negative variations), or that events or
conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, the view on (i) the quality and the potential of the Corporation’s assets, production
forecasts for properties in which the corporation holds a royalty. Although the Corporation believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results
may accordingly differ materially from those in forward looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements
include, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the commodities that drive royalties held by the Corporation; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the
U.S. dollar; risks related to the operators of the properties in which the Corporation holds a royalty; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on
any of the properties in which the Corporation hold a royalty or other interest; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by
operators of properties in which the Corporation hold a royalty or other interest; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of
the properties in which the Corporation hold a royalty or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures
or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest; regulatory changes by national and local government, including corporate law, permitting and licensing regimes
and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which the Corporation hold a royalty or other interest are
located or through which they are held); continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; business opportunities that become
available to, or are pursued by the Corporation; the impossibility to acquire royalties and to fund precious metal streams; other uninsured risks. The forward looking statements
contained in this are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which the
Corporation holds a royalty or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and
disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio;
no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which the Corporation holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations
for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those
anticipated, estimated or intended. For additional information on risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the Corporation’s most recent Annual Information Form filed
on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of risk and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on the
forward looking statements contained herein should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. The Corporation
believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and
such forward-looking statements included in this presentation should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. The Corporation
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required
by applicable law.
