OSISKO RECEIVES NOTICE OF ELECTION OF BRUCEJACK STREAM
REPURCHASE FROM PRETIUM
(Montr´al, September 24, 2018) Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (Osisko) (OR: TSX & NYSE) announces today that Osisko Bermuda Limited (OBL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Osisko, has received a notice from Pretium Exploration Inc., a subsidiary of Pretium Resources Inc. (collectively Pretium) in regards to its election to exercise its option to fully repurchase OBLs interest in the Brucejack gold and silver stream, as provided for in the purchase and sale agreement between the parties dated September 15, 2015 (the Stream Agreement).
Under the Stream Agreement, Pretium had an option to repurchase 100% of OBLs share of the Brucejack gold and silver stream by making a payment of US$118,500,000 (approximately C$154,000,000) to OBL on December 31, 2018. In order to exercise this option, Pretium had to provide 90 days prior written notice to OBL, at which point the stream repurchase becomes a binding obligation on behalf of Pretium (Stream Repurchase).
Osisko expects to use the proceeds from the Stream Repurchase for debt repayment and to fund additional investments.
The Stream Repurchase does not affect Osiskos 2018 gold equivalent ounce production guidance of 77,500 to 82,500 gold equivalent ounces. Osisko continues to retain exposure to the Brucejack mine through its 50% gold offtake interest.
