Osisko Provides Update on Its Odyssey North Royalty

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 23, 2015) - Osisko Gold Royalties (the "Company" or "Osisko") (TSX:OR) is pleased to provide the following update in respect of its royalty interest in the Malartic CHL Prospect ("Malartic CHL Prospect"), which among other things hosts the Odyssey North discovery ("Odyssey North").

Today, Osisko is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and Yamana Inc. ("Agnico Eagle", "Yamana", or collectively the "Operators) whereby Osisko will receive a 3% NSR royalty on 100% of the Malartic CHL Prospect. The closing of this transaction is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the closing of a transaction announced today between the Operators and a third party ("Third Party").

As a reminder, prior to completion of the arrangement ("Arrangement") between Osisko Mining Corporation ("OMC") and the Operators, OMC held a direct 70% interest in the Malartic CHL Prospect. Upon completion of the Arrangement in June, 2014, the Malartic CHL Prospect was not transferred to Osisko's NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic Mine (the "CM NSR") due to the pending legal dispute with the Third Party.

Closing of this transaction is conditional upon the Third Party satisfying all conditions pertaining to its respective transaction.
