Q4 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
Operating, Financial and Corporate
Updates:
- 2,090 ounces of
gold sold by the Company from operating activities in the fourth
quarter (10,743 ounces of gold sold in 2023), comprising of:
- 1,622 ounces of gold sold from the
Trixie test mine ("Trixie") located within the
Company's wider Tintic Project (4,959 ounces of gold sold in
2023);
- 468 ounces of gold sold from the
Cariboo Gold Project ("Cariboo" or the
"Cariboo Gold Project") by processing stockpiles
at a third-party processing facility (3,272 ounces of gold sold in
2023); and
- nil ounces of
gold sold from the San Antonio Gold Project ("San
Antonio" or the "San Antonio Project")
(2,512 ounces of gold sold in 2023).
- $6.9 million in
revenues ($31.6 million in 2023) and $6.4 million in cost of sales
($32.3 million in 2023) generated from operating activities in the
fourth quarter.
- On October 10,
2023, the Company announced that it received an Environmental
Assessment ("EA") Certificate for the Company's
100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project. The EA Certificate was granted by
the Environmental Assessment Office of the Province of British
Columbia ("EAO") and supported by approval
decisions from The Honourable George Heyman, Minister of
Environment and Climate Change Strategy and The Honourable Josie
Osbourne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. The
EA process was completed in consultation with and support of the
First Nations partners.
- On November 15,
2023, the Company and O3 Mining Inc. ("O3 Mining")
announced the successful formation and capitalization of "Electric
Elements Mining Corp." ("EEM") to explore for
lithium potential on certain James Bay properties in Eeyou Istchee
Area, Nunavik, Québec transferred to EEM by the Company and O3
Mining (the "Spinout Transaction"). Subsequently,
EEM completed an equity financing for aggregate gross proceeds to
EEM of approximately $4.1 million (the
"Financing") to fund the first phase of
exploration and for general corporate purposes. After giving effect
to the Financing, Osisko Development and O3 Mining hold
approximately 47% and 12%, respectively, of the outstanding EEM
shares.
- On December 28,
2023, the Company announced that Mr. Luc Lessard, Chief Operating
Officer ("COO") would retire from the Company at
the end of 2023 to pursue other personal and professional
commitments. Mr. Éric Tremblay, a Director on the Board of
Directors and Chair of the Environmental, Health and Sustainability
Committee, has taken on the position of interim COO. Additionally,
in December 2023, Mr. Chris Pharness, Vice President, Sustainable
Development, departed the Company.
- As at December
31, 2023, the Company had approximately $43.5 million in cash.
Tintic Project – Utah, U.S.A.
(100%-owned)
- 2023
Trixie Exploration Program. During Q4 2023, the Company
continued underground exploration and delineation activities on the
existing Trixie deposit as part of its 2023 underground infill and
exploration program.
- In 2023, a total
of 6,028 meters ("m") (19,776 feet
("ft")) were drilled in 73 underground diamond
drill holes, including an additional 1 geotechnical hole totalling
349 m (1,145 ft), with assay results for 17 and 8 diamond drilling
holes released on October 11, 2023, and December 21, 2023,
respectively. Assay results for all remaining drill holes from the
2023 exploration program were released on February 22, 2024 (see
Subsequent to Q4 2023).
- Porphyry
Target Drilling. An initial regional surface diamond
drilling campaign to test for copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry
mineralization potential, namely in the Big Hill area, commenced in
early December 2023, following receipt of the required surface
drill permits. An initial 3,000 meter (9,842 feet) of two drilling
holes comprises phase one of the surface diamond drilling program.
- One diamond
drill rig is currently active at surface testing a porphyry target
at Big Hill and is at a current depth of 378 m (1,240 ft). The
Company completed a first drill hole at Big Hill to a depth of
1,180 m (3,872 ft) when it transitioned out of the prospective
alteration zone, and commenced the second drill hole by
repositioning the drill rig at a modified angle.
- One diamond
drill hole tested a copper-gold-porphyry target below Trixie from
underground and was drilled to a depth of 759.6 m (2,492 ft) when
it crossed the Eureka Lily Fault to the east and out of the
prospective alteration zone. Further drill testing of a copper-gold
porphyry target at depth below the Trixie deposit is recommended to
the west.
- The drilling of
porphyry targets continues and is expected to be completed by the
end of Q2 2024, at which point the Company will provide an
exploration update including any material assay results relating to
the preliminary drilling program, as appropriate.
-
Exploration Target Potential. The Company has
advanced rehabilitation at the 750 level to allow for further
underground diamond drilling to test for the down dip extent of the
756 zone and the porphyry target below Trixie. Data compilation
from historic mines in the area is ongoing and is anticipated to
generate additional exploration drill targets on the greater Tintic
Project property.
- Test mining
activities at Trixie were suspended in December 2023 and are
expected to remain in care and maintenance for the foreseeable
future pending completion of technical work and additional
funding.
- 2024
Trixie Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"). Subsequent to Q4
2023, on March 15, 2024, the Company released an updated MRE for
the underground Trixie deposit (the "2024
Trixie MRE") in accordance with NI 43-101 (as
defined herein). The 2024 Trixie MRE incorporated an additional
1,674 underground chip samples over 1,678 m (5,507 ft) of
underground development, and 7,385 m of drilling (24,229 ft) in 122
holes completed since the initial Trixie MRE (the "2023
Trixie MRE"), with an effective date of January 10, 2023.
The 2024 Trixie MRE, which will be further described in the full
technical report being prepared for the 2024 Trixie MRE in
accordance with NI 43-101, comprises:
- Measured
resources of 119,847 tonnes grading 27.36 grams per tonne
("g/t") gold ("Au") and 61.73 g/t
silver ("Ag"), for a total of 105,437 ounces
("oz") Au and 237,868 oz Ag.
-
Indicated resources of 124,743 tonnes grading
11.17 g/t Au and 59.89 g/t Ag, for a total of 44,811 oz Au and
240,211 oz Ag.
- Inferred
resources of 201,603 tonnes grading 7.80 g/t Au and 48.55
g/t Ag, for a total of 50,569 oz Au and 314,678 oz Ag.
- Trixie
Non-cash Impairment. The Company completed a review of the
carrying value of its assets in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as at December 31, 2023. As a result
of this review, a non-cash impairment gross charge of $160.5
million ($115.9 million on a net carrying value basis) was
recognized for Trixie in the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
- As previously
disclosed, the impairment charge is primarily a result of, among
other things, assumptions related to required future exploration
and capital expenditures, potential mining and processing methods,
and average processed gold grades related to the gold targets
only.
- The asset
impairment charge relates only to Trixie and is a non-cash item
and, for the avoidance of doubt, has no impact on Company's cash
flows.
Cariboo Gold Project – British Columbia,
Canada (100%-owned)
-
Permitting Progress. Receipt of the EA Certificate
in October 2023 successfully concludes the EA process for the
Cariboo Gold Project, which was launched in October 2019 (see
Figure 1). A Joint Permit Application for the BC Mines Act /
Environmental Management Act is in progress, and the Company is
currently advancing through round 3 of the Mine Review Committee
review period. The Company anticipates receiving permits in Q2 2024
which would enable construction of the Cariboo Gold Project. The
Company continues to explore its options, including sourcing a
fully-funded solution for the Cariboo Gold Project.
Figure 1: Cariboo Gold Project
– Permitting Timeline Summary
-
Pre-Construction Activities. Subsequent to Q4
2023, the Company secured a US$50 million Credit Facility (as
defined herein), which will be exclusively used to fund ongoing
detailed engineering and pre-construction activities at the Cariboo
Gold Project. This includes the commencement of an underground
development drift from the existing Cow Portal into the Cariboo
Gold Project's mineral deposit at Lowhee Zone and extraction of
10,000 tonnes of material under an existing provincial permit
expected to be completed by the end of Q4 2024.
San Antonio Gold Project – Sonora State,
Mexico (100%-owned)
- Following
completion of processing of the remaining stockpile inventory from
the heap leach pad in Q3 2023, the San Antonio Gold Project was
placed into care and maintenance, with no production anticipated
henceforth.
- The Company
awaits next steps from the government of Mexico with respect to the
permitting process and the status of open pit mining in the
country.
-
Strategic Review. The Board of Directors of the
Company has authorized a strategic review of the San Antonio Gold
Project, which includes exploring the potential for a financial or
strategic partner in the asset or for a full or partial sale of the
asset. The Company has engaged a financial advisor in connection
with such strategic review.
SUBSEQUENT TO Q4 2023
- On February 2,
2024, the Company announced that Mr. Francois Vézina resigned from
his position as Senior Vice President, Project Development,
Technical Services and Environment effective as of March 1, 2024 to
pursue outside interests in the mining sector.
- On February 22,
2024, the Company disclosed the remaining assay results from 14
diamond drilling holes and chip samples from new development areas
as part of its 2023 exploration program at Trixie. Select assay
results highlights included (see news release dated February 22,
2024):
- 66.04
g/t Au and 167.64 g/t Ag over 8.99 m in
hole TRXU-DD-23-072A (1.93 troy ounces per short ton
("oz/t") Au and 4.89 oz/t Ag over 29.50 ft).
- On March 4,
2024, the Company announced that the Company, as guarantor, and
Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd., its wholly-owned subsidiary, as
borrower, entered into a credit agreement dated March 1, 2024 with
National Bank of Canada in connection with a US$50 million delayed
draw term loan (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit
Facility will be exclusively used to fund ongoing detailed
engineering and pre-construction activities at the Cariboo Gold
Project. On March 1, 2024, an amount of US$25.0 million ($33.9
million) was drawn under the Credit Facility, net of US$1.0 million
($1.4 million) of fees.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Estimates of
Mineral Resources
This news release uses the terms measured,
indicated and inferred mineral resources as a relative measure of
the level of confidence in the resource estimate. Readers are
cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and that
the economic viability of resources that are not mineral reserves
has not been demonstrated. The mineral resource estimate disclosed
in this news release may be materially affected by geology,
environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing
or other relevant issues. The mineral resource estimate is
classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Definition Standards on Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves" incorporated by reference into NI
43-101. Under NI 43-101, estimates of inferred mineral resources
may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or
economic studies except for preliminary economic assessments.
Readers are cautioned not to assume that further work on the stated
resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined
economically.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Financing
Risks
The Company's development and exploration
activities are subject to financing risks. At the present time, the
Company has exploration and development assets which may generate
periodic revenues through test mining, but has no mines in the
commercial production stage that generate positive cash flows. The
Company cautions that test mining at its operations could be
suspended at any time. The Company's ability to explore for and
discover potential economic projects, and then to bring them into
production, is highly dependent upon its ability to raise equity
and debt capital in the financial markets. Any projects that the
Company develops will require significant capital expenditures. To
obtain such funds, the Company may sell additional securities
including, but not limited to, the Company's shares or some form of
convertible security, the effect of which may result in a
substantial dilution of the equity interests of the Company's
Shareholders. Alternatively, the Company may also sell a part of
its interest in an asset in order to raise capital. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds required
to continue its exploration programs and finance the development of
any potentially economic deposit that is identified on acceptable
terms or at all. The failure to obtain the necessary financing(s)
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's growth
strategy, results of operations, financial condition and project
scheduling.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Test Mining
Without Feasibility Study
The Company cautions that its prior decision to
commence small-scale underground mining activities and batch vat
leaching at the Trixie test mine was made without the benefit of a
feasibility study, or reported mineral resources or mineral
reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a
result there may be increased uncertainty of achieving any
particular level of recovery of material or the cost of such
recovery. The Company cautions that historically, such projects
have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. Small
scale test-mining at Trixie was suspended in December 2022, resumed
in the second quarter of 2023, and suspended once again in December
2023. If and when small-scale test-mining recommences at Trixie,
there is no guarantee that production will continue as anticipated
or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved.
The failure to continue production may have a material adverse
impact on the Company's ability to generate revenue and cash flow
to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production
costs may have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow
and potential profitability. In continuing operations at Trixie
after closing, the Company has not based its decision to continue
such operations on a feasibility study, or reported mineral
resources or mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical
viability.
Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors
The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws and as a
result reports information regarding mineral properties,
mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral
resources, including the information in its technical reports,
financial statements, MD&A and this news release, in accordance
with Canadian reporting requirements, which are governed by NI
43-101. As such, such information concerning mineral properties,
mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral
resources, including the information in its technical reports,
financial statements, MD&A and this news release, is not
comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies
subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
