Osisko Signs Definitive Option Agreement to Earn 100% Interest in Mount Fronsac Property

Osisko Metals Incorporated (formerly Bowmore Exploration Ltd.) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Definitive Option Agreement to acquire, from two private owners, a 100% undivided interest in the Mount Fronsac Property, a highly prospective property previously owned by Glencore Ltd. that hosts a historical, non 43-101 compliant, unclassified resource of 1.26 million tonnes grading 7.7% zinc and 2.2% lead.

The Property, located within the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick, Canada, is composed of a total of 34 claim Units covering approximately 748 hectares and is located in Northumberland County, roughly 40 km west of the City of Bathurst, accessible via Highway 180. A 100% undivided interest in the Property can be acquired by the Company in exchange for total cash payments of $300,000 and issuance of a total of 200,000 shares of the Company over a four-year period.

Jeff Hussey, President and CEO of Osisko Metals, commented: "We are very pleased with the acquisition of the Mount Fronsac Property. It is an excellent addition to our portfolio of properties in the Bathurst Mining Camp, and we remain focused on acquiring additional ground within this camp, located in New Brunswick, one of Canada's best mining jurisdictions and among the top ten in the world. The Mount Fronsac deposit is a relatively recent discovery of massive zinc-lead sulphides in the western portion of the Camp. The deposit occurs in a similar stratigraphic location to the Brunswick No.12 Horizon and offers excellent potential for discovery. The short-term objective will be to upgrade and expand the known resource to NI43-101 standards."

Pursuant to the Option Agreement between the private Vendors and Osisko Metals the Company may acquire 100% interest in the Property and will have the exclusive rights to explore and develop the Property over the next four (4) years in consideration of:

The Vendors will have no area of interest. The Transaction is subject to the TSX Venture exchange approval.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

The Mount Fronsac deposit contains a historical, non 43-101 compliant, unclassified resource of 1.26 million tonnes grading 7.65 % Zn, 2.18 % Pb, 0.14% Cu, 40.3 g/t Ag, and 0.40 g/t Au. This high grade zone is hosted within 14 million tonnes of low-grade, semi-massive (>60%) to locally massive sulfides that occur in an envelope of quartz-sericite ± chlorite schist.

The high grade deposit has a north-south strike length of 525 metres and a down dip length of 600 metres. Thickness varies from 2 metres up to a maximum of 20 metres. The alteration and disseminated mineralization halo has a maximum thickness of 140 metres and contains up to 50 percent fine- to coarse-grained disseminated pyrite. The pyritic envelope is 900 metres long and extends down dip over 1,000 metres. Massive sulfides are found throughout this alteration envelope, but preferentially occur at or near the upper contact.
