FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 40-F, including the exhibits hereto (collectively, the "Form 40-F") may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements in this Form 40-F, other than statements of historical fact, that address future events, developments or performance that the Registrant expects to occur including management's expectations regarding the Registrant's growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities are forward looking statements. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to mineral reserves and mineral resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. 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 performance of the assets of the Registrant, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from the Registrant's investments and transactions, the actual results of exploration and development activities and the Registrant's ability to seize future opportunities. Although the Registrant 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, streams or other interests held by the Registrant; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; regulatory changes in national and local government, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; whether or not the Registrant is determined to have "passive foreign investment company" status ("PFIC") as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by the Registrant; continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by operators of properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of the properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests, 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 or other uninsured risks, the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Registrant's business, operations and financial condition and the integration of acquired assets. The forward looking statements contained in this Form 40-F are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation by the operators of the properties in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests by the operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the operators of such underlying properties; the absence of material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Registrant's ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which the Registrant holds royalties, streams or other interests; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

Although the Registrant has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual plans, actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause plans, actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual plans, results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Certain of the forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning the mining industry and the Registrant's general expectations concerning the mining industry are based on estimates prepared by the Registrant using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which the Registrant believes to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, this data is inherently imprecise. While the Registrant is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry data presented herein, the mining industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements in this Form 40-F, except as required by law. Unless otherwise indicated, these statements are made as of the date of this Form 40-F.

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Registrant is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Registrant prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this Form 40-F in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and the audit is subject to auditing and independence standards in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Public Accounting Oversight Board.

Disclosure regarding the mineral properties of the projects the Registrant has an interest in, including with respect to mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates included or incorporated in this Form 40-F, was prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, information included or incorporated in this Form 40-F is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") of the Registrant are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures ("DCP") including adherence to the Disclosure Policy adopted by the Registrant. The Disclosure Policy requires all staff to keep senior management fully apprised of all material information affecting the Registrant so that they may evaluate and discuss this information and determine the appropriateness and timing for public disclosure.

The Registrant maintains DCP designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under applicable Canadian securities laws and the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by applicable Canadian securities laws and Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Registrant conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's DCP as of December 31, 2019. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, the design and operation of the Registrant's DCP provide reasonable assurance that they are effective.

In designing and evaluating DCP, the Registrant recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and management is required to exercise its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

GENERAL MATTERS

The information contained in this Annual Information Form, unless otherwise indicated, is given as of December 31, 2019. More current information may be available on our public website at www.osiskogr.com, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. In addition, we generally maintain supporting materials on our website which may assist in reviewing (but are not to be considered part of) this Annual Information Form.

All capitalized terms used in this Annual Information Form and not defined herein have the meaning ascribed in the "Glossary of Terms" or elsewhere in this Annual Information Form.

Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise indicates, the term "Osisko" refers to Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries.

For reporting purposes, Osisko presents its financial statements in Canadian dollars and in conformity with with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, references to "$", "C$" or "Canadian dollars" are to Canadian dollars, and references to "US$" or "U.S. dollars" are to United States dollars. See "Exchange Rate Data". See also "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Annual Information Form may be deemed "forward looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian Securities Laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the "forward-looking statements"). All statements in this Annual Information Form, other than statements of historical fact, that address future events, developments or performance that Osisko expects to occur including management's expectations regarding Osisko's growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities are forward-looking statements. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to mineral reserves and mineral resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. 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 performance of the assets of Osisko, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from Osisko's investments and transactions, **** the actual results of exploration and development activities and Osisko's ability to seize future opportunities. Although Osisko 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, streams or other interests held by Osisko; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; regulatory changes in national and local government, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; whether or not Osisko is determined to have "passive foreign investment company" status ("PFIC") as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Osisko; continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, stream or other interests; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by operators of properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests, 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 or other uninsured risks, the potential impact of COVID-19 on Osisko's business, operations and financial condition and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation by the operators of the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests by the operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the operators of such underlying properties; the absence of material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; Osisko's ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

Although Osisko has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual plans, actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause plans, actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual plans, results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Certain of the forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning the mining industry and Osisko's general expectations concerning the mining industry are based on estimates prepared by Osisko using data from publicly available industry sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which Osisko believes to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, this data is inherently imprecise. While Osisko is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry data presented herein, the mining industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors.

The readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Osisko undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements in this Annual Information Form, except as required by law. Unless otherwise indicated, these statements are made as of the date of this Annual Information Form.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As a Canadian company, Osisko prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Consequently, all of the financial statements and financial information of Osisko is prepared in accordance with IFRS, which are materially different than financial statements and financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING THE USE OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

Osisko is subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result reports its mineral resources and the mineral reserves and mineral resources of the projects it has an interest in according to Canadian standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101. The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the CIM. U.S. reporting requirements are currently governed by Guide 7. This Annual Information Form includes estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources reported in accordance with NI 43-101. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Consequently, the definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" under CIM standards differ in certain respects from the standards of Guide 7. Osisko also reports estimates of "mineral resources" in accordance with NI 43-101. While the terms "Mineral Resource," "Measured Mineral Resource," "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are recognized by NI 43-101, they are not defined terms under Guide 7 and, generally, U.S. companies reporting pursuant to Guide 7 are not permitted to report estimates of mineral resources of any category in documents filed with the SEC. As such, certain information contained in this Annual Information Form concerning descriptions of mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC pursuant to Guide 7. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured Mineral Resources or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Further, an "Inferred Mineral Resource" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility, and a reader cannot assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

The disclosure in this Annual Information Form relating to the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests and the operations on such properties is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information or data available in the public domain as at March 20, 2020 (except where stated otherwise), and none of this information or data has been independently verified by Osisko. As a holder of royalties, streams and other interests, Osisko generally has limited, if any, access to the properties included in or relating to its asset portfolio. Therefore, in preparing disclosure pertaining to the properties in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests and the operations on such properties, Osisko is dependent on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information or data available in the public domain and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information or data. Although Osisko has no knowledge that such information or data is incomplete or inaccurate, there can be no assurance that such third party information or data is complete or accurate. Additionally, some information or data publicly reported by the owners or operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by the royalties, streams or other interests of Osisko. Sometimes, the royalties, streams or other interests of Osisko cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, mineral resources or production of a property.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Osisko has included certain non-IFRS measures including "Adjusted Earnings" and "Adjusted Earnings per basic share" (which have no standard definition under IFRS) to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS. Osisko believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of Osisko.

NI 43-101 Definitions

"Indicated Mineral Resource" **** Refers to that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
"Inferred Mineral Resource" **** Refers to that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
--- ---
"Measured Mineral Resource" **** Refers to that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.
--- ---
"Mineral Reserve" A Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified.
--- ---
Mineral Reserves are categorized as follows on the basis of the degree of confidence in the estimate of the quantity and grade of the deposit: probable Mineral Reserves and proven Mineral Reserves.
---
"Mineral Resource" A Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual  economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.
--- ---
"Modifying Factors" Modifying Factors are considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.
--- ---
"NI 43-101" National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. An instrument developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators (an umbrella group of Canada's provincial and territorial securities regulators) that governs public disclosure by mining and mineral exploration issuers. The instrument establishes certain standards for all public disclosure of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
"pre-feasibility study" **** <br>and **** "feasibility study" **** Refers to a comprehensive study of the viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where the mining method, in the case of underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, has been established and an effective method of mineral processing has been determined, and includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions of technical, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, and environmental factors and the evaluation of other relevant factors which are sufficient for a qualified person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the Mineral Resource may be classified as a Mineral Reserve. Feasibility studies have a greater degree of confidence associated with all aspects.
--- ---
"preliminary <br>assessment" **** The term "preliminary assessment" or "preliminary economic assessment", commonly referred to as a scoping study, means a study that includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of Mineral Resources taken at an early stage of the project prior to the completion of a preliminary feasibility study.
--- ---
"Probable Mineral <br>Reserve" Refers to an economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource. The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve.
--- ---
"Proven Mineral <br>Reserve" A Proven Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors.
--- ---
"qualified person" Means an individual who (a) is an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years experience in mineral exploration, mine development or operation or mineral project assessment, or any combination of these; (b) has experience relevant to the subject matter of the mineral project and the technical report; and (c) is a member in good standing of a professional association that, among other things, is self-regulatory, has been given authority by statute, admits members based on their qualifications and experience, requires compliance with professional standards of competence and ethics and has disciplinary powers to suspend or expel a member, as defined in NI 43-101.

The terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Modifying Factors", "Indicated Mineral Resource", "Inferred Mineral Resource", "Probable Mineral Reserve" and "Proven Mineral Reserve" used are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the CIM Standards.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Description of the Business

Osisko is focused on acquiring and managing precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and other interests in Canada and worldwide. Osisko owns a portfolio of royalties, streams, offtakes, options on royalty or stream financings and exclusive rights to participate in future royalty or stream financings on various projects, mainly in Canada. Osisko owns a North American focused portfolio of over 135 royalty, stream and offtake interests, including its cornerstone asset, a 5% NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, located in Canada. In addition, Osisko invests in equities of exploration, development and royalty companies. Osisko has recently completed the acquisition of Barkerville, which owns the Cariboo Gold project in British Columbia, Canada.

Business Model and Strategy

Osisko is a growth-oriented and Canadian-focused precious metal royalty and streaming company that is focused on maximizing returns for its shareholders by growing its asset base, both organically and through accretive acquisitions of precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests, and by returning capital to its shareholders through a quarterly dividend payment and share repurchases. Osisko has a unique growth strategy that consists not only of acquiring and structuring both producing and late-stage development royalty and stream products, but also of investing in longer-term assets where Osisko feels it is uniquely positioned to create value and realize returns through the development of these assets. Osisko has a successful track-record of strong technical capabilities, which it puts to work creating its own pipeline of organic growth opportunities that provide exposure to the upside of commodity prices and to the optionality of mineral reserve and resource growth.

Osisko's main focus is on high quality, long-life precious metals assets located in favourable jurisdictions and operated by established mining companies, as these assets provide the best risk/return profile. Osisko also evaluates and invests in opportunities in other commodities and jurisdictions. Given that a core aspect of Osisko's business is the ability to compete for investment opportunities, Osisko plans to maintain a strong balance sheet and ability to deploy capital.

__________________________________

^1^ GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements was converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces by the average silver price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Diamonds, other metals and cash royalties were converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements were converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period.

Cornerstone Asset

Canadian Malartic Royalty (Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and Yamana Gold Inc.)

Osisko's cornerstone asset is a 5% NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic property which is located in Malartic, Québec and operated by Canadian Malartic GP, formed by Agnico and Yamana. Canadian Malartic is Canada's largest and the world's 14^th^ largest producing gold mine.

Osisko also holds a 3% NSR royalty on the Odyssey North and East Malartic zones and a 5% NSR royalty on the Odyssey South and East Gouldie zone, which are located adjacent to the Canadian Malartic mine on Osisko's royalty ground.

Update on operations

On February 13, 2020, Agnico reported gold production of 163,810 ounces at Canadian Malartic for the fourth quarter of 2019, for a total of 669,192 ounces in 2019, higher than the guidance of 660,000 ounces.

Agnico announced that in the fourth quarter of 2019, pre-commercial production began at the Barnat extension project as the new Highway 117 deviation opened for traffic in early October. Mining activities at the Barnat pit are expected to continue to ramp up during 2020.

Agnico also reported a first inferred mineral resource of 2.8 million ounces of gold at the East Gouldie zone (25.6 million tonnes grading 3.34 g/t gold) at December 31, 2019. At East Malartic, inferred mineral resources of 2.4 million ounces of gold were added with the inclusion of deeper portions of the deposit between 1,000 metres to 1,800 metres depth, increasing total inferred mineral resources at East Malartic to 5.2 million ounces of gold (78.8 million tonnes grading 2.05 g/t gold). At the Canadian Malartic mine, the Canadian Malartic GP is expected to spend $15 million for 90,000 metres of exploration and conversion drilling primarily focused on declaring new inferred mineral resources at the East Gouldie zone and infilling the current inferred mineral resources in the zone to convert them into indicated mineral resources by year-end 2020. In addition to the drilling at East Gouldie, Canadian Malartic GP is planning to spend another $10 million on 22,000 metres of exploration drilling to test other regional targets at Canadian Malartic and on studies.

The substantial increases in mineral resources, particularly at the East Gouldie and East Malartic zones, have the potential to eventually replace mineral reserves currently being mined at the adjacent Canadian Malartic pit. Canadian Malartic GP continues to evaluate the Odyssey project with consideration being given to potential new development synergies between the various zones at East Gouldie, Odyssey, East Malartic and Canadian Malartic. Subject to a positive development decision, initial production could potentially start in 2023.

Exploration and Evaluation / Development Activities

Cariboo Gold Project

On November 21, 2019, Osisko acquired the Cariboo gold project located in the historical Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia, Canada, through the acquisition of Barkerville (See "General Development of Osisko's Business - 2019 - Acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd."). Osisko plans to raise external capital and advance the Cariboo gold project through its North Spirit Discovery Group platform.

In September 2019, Barkerville filed an independent preliminary economic assessment prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 for its 100% owned Cariboo gold project. The preliminary economic assessment provides a base case assessment of developing the project as an underground ramp-access mine with a gold pre-concentration plant in Wells and gold processing in its existing upgraded Quesnel River mill, for an after-tax internal rate of return of 28%.

In July 2019, Barkerville filed a mineral resource estimate update for the Cariboo gold project, including the Cow, Island and Barkerville Mountain deposits. Measured and indicated resources are estimated at 2.4 million ounces of gold (13.2 million tonnes grading 5.6 g/t Au), a 50% increase from the 2018 resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated at 1.9 million ounces of gold (12 million tonnes grading 5.0 g/t Au). The mineral resource estimate incorporates the Cow and Valley Zones on Cow Mountain, Shaft and Mosquito Creek Zones on Island Mountain and BC Vein and Bonanza Ledge on Barkerville Mountain at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au. The resource is defined over 6 kilometers of Barkerville's 67-kilometer-long land package. Osisko plans a $12 million infill and exploration program in 2020 at Cariboo.

Over the next two years, Osisko will carry on site activities on the Cariboo gold property, invest in exploration activities (approximately $12 million planned in 2020), reclaim certain historical sites, install water treatment facilities and advance technical studies towards a feasibility study.

Sustainability Activities

Osisko views sustainability as a key part of its strategy to create value for its shareholders and other stakeholders.

Osisko focuses on the following key areas:

• Promoting the mining industry and its benefits to society;

• Maintaining strong relationships with the federal government and the provincial, municipal and first nations governments in Québec and British Columbia;

• Supporting the economic development of regions where Osisko operates (directly or indirectly through its interests);

• Supporting university education in mining fields and employee development;

• Promoting diversity throughout the organization and the mining industry; and

• Encouraging investee companies to adhere to the same areas of focus in sustainability.

As part of its investment analysis process, Osisko evaluates the risk and performance of the investee companies in the sustainability areas on projects where Osisko has a direct or indirect interest.

Human Resources

As of December 31, 2019, Osisko had 124 employees, including 83 persons working for Barkerville and 2 employees of OBL.

In 2019, Osisko has experienced a higher than usual turnover rate in its senior management. In order to strengthen and rejuvenate its management team, Mr. Sandeep Singh was appointed as President on December 31, 2019. In February 2020, Mr. Frédéric Ruel was promoted to Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance and Mr. Iain Farmer was promoted to Vice President, Corporate Development and Mr. Benoit Brunet was hired to hold the position of Vice President, Business Strategy. Osisko has a succession plan in order to mitigate the risk of being dependent on key management. From time to time, Osisko may also need to identify and retain additional skilled management and specialized technical personnel to efficiently operate its business.

Material Mineral Project

Osisko considers that the Canadian Malartic Royalty is currently its only material mineral project for the purposes of NI 43-101. ****

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF OSISKO'S BUSINESS

2020

Update - COVID-19

On March 23, 2020, Osisko announced that given the uncertainties with respect to future developments, including the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain or treat the COVID-19 outbreak and impacts on mining operations, Osisko considered prudent to withdraw its 2020 production guidance until further notice.

Corporate Update

On February 20, 2020, Osisko appointed Mr. Frédéric Ruel as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance and Mr. Iain Farmer as Vice President, Corporate Development and Mr. Benoit Brunet as Vice President, Business Strategy.

Amendment to the Silver Stream Transaction with Falco Resources Ltd.

On January 31, 2020, Falco and Osisko executed an amendment agreement to the Falco Silver Stream relating to Falco's Horne 5 Project, whereby Osisko agreed to postpone by one (1) year each of the deadlines granted to Falco to achieve milestones set as a condition precedent to Osisko funding the stream deposit and certain other deadlines (For further details on the Falco Silver Stream, see "General Development of Osisko's Business - 2019 - Closing of Silver Stream Transaction with Falco Resources Ltd.").

Increase of Royalties on Osisko Mining Inc.'s Windfall Project

On January 20, 2020, Osisko announced that it had increased its NSR royalty on the Windfall gold project being developed by Osisko Mining. Pursuant to its investment agreement with Osisko Mining, Osisko has exercised its right to repurchase six (6) existing royalties on the Windfall project. The royalties were purchased for total consideration of $3,000,000 cash (including $1,000,000 in 2020) and have increased Osisko's effective royalty on the claims covering the Windfall project to 2.0 - 3.0% NSR, up from 1.0% -1.5% NSR.

2019

Update regarding Lydian International Limited

On December 23, 2019, Osisko was informed that Lydian and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Lydian Canada Ventures Corporation and Lydian U.K. Corporation Limited, have obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) as a result of the ongoing unlawful activities against Lydian's Amulsar project in Armenia. Since June 2018, illegal blockades have prevented Lydian and its contractors from entering the Amulsar project site. During this period, Lydian has petitioned local and national government officials to enforce the rule of law and remove the blockades. Despite favourable court rulings and numerous public statements from the Government of Armenia affirming that there is no legal basis on which to prevent Lydian from completing and operating the Amulsar project, site access continues to be restricted. Osisko's interest in the Amulsar project consists of a senior secured 4.22% gold and 62.5% silver stream and an unsecured 81.9% gold offtake.

Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

On December 10, 2019, Osisko announced that the TSX had approved Osisko's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "2019 NCIB Program"). Under the terms of the 2019 NCIB Program, Osisko may acquire up to 13,681,732 Osisko Shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures of the TSX. Repurchases under the 2019 NCIB Program will terminate on December 11, 2020 or on such earlier date as the NCIB Program is complete. Daily purchases will be limited to 126,674 Osisko Shares, other than block purchase exemptions, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Osisko Shares on the TSX for the six-month period ending November 30, 2019, being 506,698 Osisko Shares. The price that Osisko may pay for any Osisko Shares purchased in the open market under the 2019 NCIB Program will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase (plus brokerage fees) and any Osisko Shares purchased by Osisko will be cancelled. In the event that Osisko  purchases Osisko Shares by pre-arranged crosses, exempt offers, block purchases or private agreements, the purchase price of the Osisko Shares may be, and will be in the case of purchases by private agreements, as may be permitted by the securities regulatory authority, at a discount to the market price of the Osisko Shares at the time of the acquisition. The 13,681,732 Osisko Shares that may be repurchased under the 2019 NCIB Program represented approximately 10% of the public float of Osisko as of December 2, 2019, being 136,817,320 Osisko Shares.

During the prior 2018 NCIB Program of Osisko, which ended on December 11, 2019, Osisko obtained approval to purchase 10,459,829 Osisko Shares and actually purchased 1,833,830 Osisko Shares at a weighted average price of approximately $11.81 per Osisko Share through the facilities of the TSX.

Osisko has agreed to commit up to $180 million payable as follows:

  • $25 million on closing, net of any amounts owing by Falco to Osisko, including the repayment of the principal amounts due to Osisko under the Falco Loans (for further details on the Falco Loans, see "General Development of Osisko's Business - 2018 - $10 Million Senior Secured Loan Agreement with Falco Resources Ltd." and "General Development of Osisko's Business - 2018 - Extension of Maturity Date of Senior Note and Senior Loan with Falco Resources Ltd.");
  • $20 million upon Falco receiving all necessary material third-party approvals, licenses, right of ways, and surface rights;
  • $35 million following receipt of all material permits required for the construction of a mine on the Horne 5 Project, a positive construction decision for the Horne 5 Project, and raising a minimum of $100 million in equity, joint venture or any other non-debt financing for the construction of the mine;
  • $60 million upon the total projected capital expenditure for the Horne 5 Project has been demonstrated to be financed; and
  • An optional payment of $40 million at the sole discretion of Osisko to increase stream percentage to 100%;

(the "Falco Silver Stream").

Under the terms of a stream agreement dated February 27, 2019 between Falco and Osisko, Osisko will purchase up to 100% of the refined silver from the Horne 5 Project.

Agreement to Amend Renard Stream

On October 2, 2018, Osisko announced that it has entered into an amended and restated purchase and sale agreement (the "Amended Renard Streaming Agreement") with Stornoway in relation to the Renard Stream (the "Renard Stream Amendment"). As part of the Amended Renard Streaming Agreement, Osisko, along with CDPQ, Triple Flag Mining Finance Bermuda Ltd., Albion Exploration Fund, LLC and Washington State Investment Board (collectively, the "Renard Streamers") paid Stornoway the U.S. dollar equivalent of $45 million in cash ($21.6 million attributable to Osisko) as an additional up-front deposit to Stornoway.

The terms of the Amended Renard Streaming Agreement provide that the Renard Streamers shall continue to hold a 20% undivided interest (9.6% stream attributable to Osisko) in all diamonds produced from the Renard Diamond Mine for the life of mine (prior to the amendment, the stream was applicable to all diamonds produced from the first 5 project kimberlites to be mined at the Renard Diamond Mine for the life of mine, and the first 30 million carats from the property overall). Upon the completion of a sale of diamonds, the Renard Streamers will remit to Stornoway a cash transfer payment which shall be the lesser of 40% of achieved sales price and US$40 per carat (prior to the amendment, the cash transfer was a fixed amount of US$50 per carat escalating at 1% per annum).

In addition, for the purpose of calculating stream remittances, Stornoway shall separately sell any diamonds smaller than the +7 DTC sieve size that are recovered in excess of the maximum agreed-upon proportion within a sale of run of mine diamonds (the excess small diamonds, or incidentals). In this manner, Stornoway shall restrict the proportion of small diamonds contained in a run of mine sale such that the Renard Streamers and Stornoway will be fully aligned on upside price exposure with downside protection on price and product mix.

The Renard Stream Amendment was part of a series of financing transactions with Stornoway's lenders and key stakeholders that provide Stornoway with greater financial and operational flexibility representing up to $129 million in additional liquidity in the near term as the mine ramps up its operations.

Osisko has funded its share of the Renard Stream Amendment through cash on hand, representing an outlay of $21.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Pursuant to the Amended Renard Stream Amendment, Stornoway has granted to the Renard Streamers the right to nominate one (1) member on the Stornoway board of directors as long as their collective shareholding in Stornoway remains above 5%.

$10 Million Senior Secured Loan Agreement with Falco Resources Ltd.

Acquisition of a Gold Royalty on Victoria Gold Corp.'s Eagle Gold Project in Canada

On April 16, 2018, Osisko announced the completion of a $148 million financing transaction with Victoria pursuant to which Osisko acquired a 5% NSR royalty for $98 million (the "Eagle Royalty Purchase") on the Dublin Gulch property which hosts the Eagle Project located in Yukon, Canada.

As part of the transaction, Osisko has also purchased on a private placement basis, 100,000,000 common shares of Victoria at a price of $0.50 per common share (the "Victoria Private Placement"), for total financing by Osisko of $148 million including the Eagle Royalty Purchase (the "Victoria Financing").

Osisko purchased a 5% NSR royalty on all metals and minerals produced from the Dublin Gulch property, which includes the Eagle and Olive deposits, until an aggregate of 97,500 ounces of refined gold have been delivered to Osisko, and a 3% NSR royalty thereafter. The purchase price for the royalty is an aggregate of $98 million, of which a first tranche of $49 million was advanced as of April 16, 2018 and the second tranche of $49 million will be funded pro rata to drawdowns under the subordinated debt component of the Orion debt facilities.

Additionally, in connection with the Victoria Financing, Osisko has obtained the right to nominate one of the members of Victoria's board of directors. In June 2018, Mr. Sean Roosen was appointed to the board of Victoria.

In connection with the Victoria Financing, Victoria has also entered into definitive and binding agreements with an affiliate of Orion Mine Finance pursuant to which Orion has agreed to provide debt facilities to Victoria, and has purchased from Victoria, on a private placement basis, 150 million common shares of Victoria at a price of $0.50 per common share. Victoria has also entered into definitive agreements with Caterpillar with respect to a US$50 million equipment financing facility. All of such agreements were entered into with respect to a construction financing package totaling approximately $505 million in aggregate (including the Victoria Financing).

Acquisition of a Gold Stream on Aquila Resources Inc.'s Back Forty Project in Michigan, USA

On November 9, 2017, Osisko announced that OBL agreed to acquire a gold stream with reference to the future gold produced from the Back Forty property (the "Back Forty Project") located in Michigan, USA from Aquila. OBL will make a staged upfront cash deposit to Aquila of up to US$55 million for the gold stream, and will make ongoing payments equal to 30% of the spot price of gold, to a maximum of US$600 per ounce. In addition to the gold stream, OBL has agreed to purchase units in the amount of US$10 million as part of a concurrent private placement with Aquila. OBL owns a 75% stream on all silver produced on the Back Forty Project, which was acquired in July 2017 through the acquisition of the Orion Mine Finance portfolio.

Pursuant to a gold purchase agreement dated November 27, 2017 between OBL and Aquila, OBL has purchased a gold stream equivalent to 18.5% of the refined gold from the Back Forty Project until 105,000 ounces of gold have been delivered (the "Back Forty Threshold Stream"), and 9.25% of the refined gold for the remaining life of mine (the "Back Forty Tail Stream"). Payable gold under the stream will be subject to minimum payability rates based on the product produced. As consideration for the gold stream, OBL will pay to Aquila a staged upfront cash deposit of up to US$55 million (the "Back Forty Deposit") plus ongoing payments equal to 30% of the spot price of gold on the day of delivery, to a maximum of US$600 per ounce.

The Back Forty Deposit will be paid in four installments, as follows:

(a) US$7.5 million (paid on closing);

(b) US$7.5 million (paid in October 2018);

(c) US$10 million payable following a positive construction decision for the Back Forty Project; and

(d) US$30 million payable upon the first drawdown of an appropriate project debt finance facility (the "Back Forty Fourth Deposit"), subject to the Back Forty CoC Provision.

In the event of a change of control of Aquila prior to the advancement of the Back Forty Fourth Deposit, the person or entity acquiring control over the Back Forty Project may elect to forego the Back Forty Fourth Deposit, in which case the Back Forty Threshold Stream and Back Forty Tail Stream will reduce to 9.5% and 4.75%, respectively (the "Back Forty CoC Provision"). All other terms and conditions of the gold stream will remain unchanged.

The gold stream is secured by a first priority lien on the Back Forty Project and all assets of Aquila.

As part of the transaction, OBL has purchased US$10 million of units in Aquila at a price of $0.26 per unit (the "Aquila Private Placement"). Each unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one quarter of one common share purchase warrant, with each full warrant entitling OBL to purchase one (1) common share of Aquila for $0.34 for a period of 42 months following closing of the Aquila Private Placement. So long as OBL continues to hold more than 10% of the Aquila common shares, OBL will have the right to nominate one representative to Aquila's board of directors and the right to participate in any future equity or equity-linked offerings to maintain its pro rata ownership interest.

Closing of a $300 million Financing of Debentures

On November 3, 2017, Osisko closed an offering of convertible senior unsecured debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the "Debentures").

Arizona Mining Inc.

On October 10, 2017, Osisko announced that it has divested its investment in Arizona Mining Inc. for gross proceeds of $32.5 million, generating a gain for Osisko of $22.8 million on the disposal of the investment, based on the cash cost of the shares.

Orion Transaction

On July 31, 2017, Osisko acquired a precious metals portfolio of assets from the Orion Parties consisting of 61 royalties, 6 streams and 7 precious metal offtakes for $1.1 billion (the "Orion Transaction"). The final acquisition price was comprised of US$504.8 million ($630.1 million) in cash consideration, which includes an estimate of US$4.2 million ($5.1 million) adjustment for the acquired working capital, and 30,906,594 Osisko Shares (the "Orion Purchase Price").

This combination resulted in Osisko holding a total of 131 royalties, streams and offtakes, including 16 revenue-generating assets. Through the Orion Transaction, Osisko acquired a 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard Diamond Mine in addition to a 100% silver stream on the Mantos Blancos Mine. Certain assets are held through an international wholly-owned subsidiary which was renamed Osisko Bermuda Limited.

As part of the Orion Transaction, CDP Investissements Inc., an affiliate of CDPQ, and the Fonds FTQ subscribed for $200 million and $75 million in Osisko Shares, respectively, as part of a concurrent private placement (the "Orion Private Placement") to fund a portion of the cash consideration and support the Orion Transaction. A total of 18,887,363 Osisko Shares were issued at a price of $14.56 per share under the Orion Private Placement. The Orion Private Placement was subject to a 7% capital commitment payment payable partially in shares (2%, representing 385,457 Osisko Shares) and in cash (5%, representing $13.8 million).

Osisko also drew US$118 million ($147.3 million) under its revolving credit facility, settled the foreign exchange forward contracts by disbursing $275 million to acquire US$204 million and paid US$182.8 million ($228.9 million) from Osisko's cash and cash equivalents balance.

IDM Mining Ltd.

In connection with this private placement, IDM Mining Ltd. granted to Osisko certain pre-emptive rights in respect to purchases or grants of royalties or streams from the Red Mountain gold project.

Acquisition of Silver Stream on Taseko Mines Limited's Gibraltar Copper Mine

On March 3, 2017, Osisko acquired a silver stream with reference to silver produced at the Gibraltar copper mine located in British Columbia, Canada, from Gibraltar Mines Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taseko. Taseko owns a 75% joint venture interest in the Gibraltar copper mine. Osisko paid Taseko cash consideration of US$33 million for the silver stream. In addition, Osisko will make ongoing payments of US$2.75 per ounce of silver delivered.

The principal terms of this agreement are as follows:

  • Osisko will receive from Taseko an amount equal to 100% of Taseko's share of the silver production on the Gibraltar copper mine until delivery of 5.9 million ounces of silver;
  • Osisko paid Taseko a cash consideration of US$33 million for the silver stream as an advance payment against the purchase price for the sale of silver to Osisko;
  • The effective date of the transaction is January 1, 2017. Any silver in respect of which a delivery is made to an offtaker after January 1, 2017, is subject to the stream;
  • The silver payability rate is 90% of contained silver in concentrate;
  • Osisko will make ongoing payments of US$2.75 to Taseko per silver ounce delivered;
  • Silver deliveries will be the secured, subordinated obligation of Gibraltar Mines Ltd., but will be guaranteed by Taseko; and
  • Taseko has granted Osisko 3 million common share purchase warrants (the "Taseko Warrants"), with each Taseko Warrant entitling Osisko to purchase one (1) common share of Taseko at an exercise price of $2.74. The Taseko Warrants will expire on April 1, 2020. If at any point during the life of the Taseko Warrants, Taseko's share price trades at a premium of 25% above the exercise price for a 30-day consecutive period, Taseko may force the exercise of the Taseko Warrants.

Significant Acquisitions

On November 21, 2019, Osisko acquired all of the issued and outstanding Barkerville Shares that it did not already own pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). As a result of the Barkerville Arrangement, Barkerville became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko. **** A business acquisition report was filed by Osisko on SEDAR on November 29, 2019. **** See "General Development of Osisko's Business - 2019 - Acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.".

RISK FACTORS

In evaluating Osisko and its business, the readers should carefully consider the risk factors which follow. These risk factors may not be a definitive list of all risk factors associated with an investment in Osisko or in connection with the business and operations of Osisko.

Commodity Price Risks

Changes in the market price of the commodities underlying Osisko's interests may affect the profitability of Osisko and the revenue generated therefrom

The revenue derived by Osisko from its portfolio of royalties, streams and other interests and investments might be significantly affected by changes in the market price of the commodities underlying its agreements. Commodity prices, including those to which Osisko is exposed, fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Osisko, including levels of supply and demand, industrial development levels, inflation and the level of interest rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical factors. All commodities, by their nature, are subject to wide price fluctuations and future material price declines will result in a decrease in revenue or, in the case of severe declines that cause a suspension or termination of production by relevant operators, a complete cessation of revenue from royalties, streams or other interests applicable to one or more relevant commodities. Moreover, the broader commodity market tends to be cyclical, and a general downturn in overall commodity prices could result in a significant decrease in overall revenue. Any such price decline may result in a material adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Hedging Risk

Osisko has a foreign exchange hedging policy and may consider adopting a precious metal policy that permit hedging its foreign exchange and precious metal price exposures to reduce the risks associated with currency and precious metal price fluctuations. Hedging involves certain inherent risks including: (a) credit risk - the risk that the creditworthiness of a counterparty may adversely affect its ability to perform its payment and other obligations under its agreement with Osisko or adversely affect the financial and other terms the counterparty is able to offer Osisko; (b) market liquidity risk - the risk that Osisko has entered into a hedging position that cannot be closed out quickly, by either liquidating such hedging instrument or by establishing an offsetting position; and (c) unrealized fair value adjustment risk - the risk that, in respect of certain hedging products, an adverse change in market prices for commodities, currencies or interest rates will result in Osisko incurring losses in respect of such hedging products as a result of the hedging products being out-of-the money on their settlement dates. There is no assurance that a hedging policy designed to reduce the risks associated with foreign exchange/currency or precious metal price fluctuations would be successful. Although hedging may protect Osisko from adverse changes in foreign exchange/currency or precious metal price fluctuations, it may also prevent Osisko from fully benefitting from positive changes.

Third Party Operator Risks

Osisko has limited access to data regarding the operation of mines in which it has royalties, streams or other interests

As a holder of royalties, streams or other interests, Osisko does not serve as the mine's operator and has little or no input into how the operations are conducted. As such, Osisko has varying access to data on the operations or to the actual properties themselves. This could affect its ability to assess the value of its interest or enhance the performance thereof. It is difficult or impossible for Osisko to ensure that the properties are operated in its best interest. Payments related to Osisko's royalties, streams or other interests may be calculated by the payors in a manner different from Osisko's projections. Osisko does, however, have rights of audit with respect to such royalties, streams or other interests.

Osisko has little or no control over mining operations in which it holds royalties, streams or other interests

Osisko has few or no contractual rights relating to the operation or development of mines in which it only holds royalties, streams or other interests. Osisko may not be entitled to any material compensation if these mining operations do not meet their forecasted production targets in any specified period or if the mines shut down or discontinue their operations on a temporary or permanent basis. Certain of these properties may not commence production within the time frames anticipated, if at all, and there can be no assurance that the production, if any, from such properties will ultimately meet forecasts or targets. At any time, any of the operators of the mines or their successors may decide to suspend or discontinue operations. Osisko is subject to the risks that the mines shut down on a temporary or permanent basis due to issues including, but not limited to, economic, lack of financial capital, floods, fire, mechanical malfunctions, social unrest, expropriation, community relations and other risks. These issues are common in the mining industry and can occur frequently.

Osisko is dependent on the payment or delivery of amounts for royalties, streams or other interests by the owners and operators of certain properties and any delay in or failure of such payments or deliveries will affect the revenues generated by Osisko's asset portfolio

Royalties, streams and other interests in natural resource properties are largely contractual in nature. Parties to contracts do not always honour contractual terms and contracts themselves may be subject to interpretation or technical defects. To the extent grantors of royalties, streams or other interests do not abide by their contractual obligations, Osisko would be forced to take legal action to enforce its contractual rights. Such litigation may be time consuming and costly and there is no guarantee of success. While any proceedings or actions are pending, or if any decision is determined adversely to Osisko, such litigation may have a material adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, Osisko is dependent to a large extent upon the financial viability and operational effectiveness of owners and operators of the relevant properties. Payments and/or deliveries from production generally flow through the operator and there is a risk of delay and additional expense in receiving such revenues. Payments and/or deliveries may be delayed by restrictions imposed by lenders, delays in the sale or delivery of products, the ability or willingness of smelters and refiners to process mine products, recovery by the operators of expenses incurred in the operation of the properties, the establishment by the operators of reserves for such expenses or the insolvency of the operator. Osisko's rights to payment and/or delivery under the royalties, streams or other interests must, in most cases, be enforced by contract without the protection of a security interest over property that Osisko could readily liquidate. This inhibits Osisko's ability to collect outstanding royalties, streams or other interests upon a default. In the event of a bankruptcy of an operator or owner, Osisko may have a limited prospect for full recovery of revenues. Failure to receive any payments and/or deliveries from the owners and operators of the relevant properties may result in a material and adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Osisko is exposed to risks related to exploration, permitting, construction and/or development in relation to the projects and properties in which it holds a royalty, stream or other interest

Many of the projects or properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest in are in the exploration, permitting, construction and/or development stage and such projects are subject to numerous risks, including but not limited to, delays in obtaining equipment, materials and services essential to the exploration, construction and development of such projects in a timely manner, delays or inability to obtain required permits, changes in environmental regulations or other regulations, currency exchange rates, labour shortages, cost escalations and fluctuations in metal prices. There can be no assurance that the owners or operators of such projects will have the financial, technical and operational resources to complete exploration, permitting, construction and/or development of such projects in accordance with current expectations or at all. It is also possible that such owners or operators will require additional capital in order for their projects to become producing mines. Osisko may be asked to provide additional capital to these entities and may decide to do so to preserve the value of its initial investment. There is a risk that the carrying values of certain of Osisko's assets may not be recoverable if the operating entities cannot raise additional capital to continue to explore and develop their assets. The value of Osisko's interests in these projects could thus be negatively affected by many factors, some of which cannot be assessed at the time of investment. Although Osisko undertakes a due diligence process for every investment, mining exploration and development are subject to many risks and it is possible that the value realized by Osisko be less than the original investment.

Some agreements may provide limited recourse in particular circumstances which may further inhibit Osisko's ability to recover or obtain equitable relief in the event of a default under such agreements

Osisko's rights to payment under royalties, streams or other interests must, in most cases, be enforced by contract. Osisko's ability to collect outstanding royalties, streams or other interests, or obtain equitable relief upon cases of default, might be limited pursuant to such contracts. Certain royalty and stream agreements provide for certain protections and security interests in favour of Osisko. However, security arrangements may be difficult to realize upon and also be subordinate, which may cause Osisko to be at a disadvantage in the event of a default. In the event of a bankruptcy, it is possible that an operator or owner claims that Osisko should be treated as an unsecured creditor and that Osisko's rights should be terminated in an insolvency proceeding. Failure to receive payments from the owners and operators of the relevant properties, or termination of Osisko's rights, may result in a material and adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks related to mining operations

Mining operations involve significant risks that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate or adequately mitigate. Major expenditures are required to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are highly volatile; and governmental regulations, including those relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.

Thus, Osisko's business might be impacted by such risks inherent to mining operations and is dependent, among other things, on mining operations conducted by third parties.

Osisko may acquire royalties, streams or other interests in respect of properties that are speculative and there can be no guarantee that mineable deposits will be discovered or developed

Exploration for metals and minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the operator of any given project will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals on lands where Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests.

If mineable deposits are discovered, substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on terms acceptable to the operator or at all. Although, in respect of these properties, Osisko intends to only hold royalties, streams or other interests and not be responsible for these expenditures, the operator may not be in a financial position to obtain the necessary funds to advance the project.

Operational Risks

The properties on which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests are subject to exploration and mining risks

Osisko seeks to acquire royalties, streams or other interests in mineral properties or equity interests in companies that have exploration properties, advanced staged development projects or operating mines. Royalties, streams or other interests are non-operating interests in mining projects that provide the right to revenue or production from the project after deducting specified costs, if any. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The long-term profitability of Osisko's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and ultimate success of the operating mines in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interest or the companies in which Osisko has equity interests, which may be affected by a number of factors beyond Osisko's control.

Operating a producing mine involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which Osisko has a direct or indirect interest are and will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of mineral resources and mineral reserves, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property, and possible environmental damage.

Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions such as fire, power outages, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable machinery, equipment or labour are involved in mineral exploration, development and operation. Operating companies which operate on properties on which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which they cannot insure or against which they may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material, adverse effect on the financial position of such operating companies, and in turn, may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of Osisko.

In addition, labour disruptions are a hazard to mineral exploration, development and operation. There is always a risk that strikes or other types of conflict with unions or employees may occur at any one of the properties on which Osisko may hold royalties, streams or other interests. Although it is uncertain whether labour disruptions will be used to advocate labour, political or social goals in the future, labour disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the mineral properties in which Osisko may hold an interest.

Agreements pertaining to royalties, streams or other interests are based on mine life and in some instances a drop in metal prices or a change in metallurgy may result in a project being shut down with a material, adverse effect on that company's financial position, and in turn, may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of Osisko.

The properties held by Osisko or on which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests may require permits and licenses

The properties held by Osisko or on which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests, including the mine operations, may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the operator of any given project will be able to obtain or maintain, in a timely manner and on terms favourable to such operator, all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations.

Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates have inherent uncertainty

Mineral resource and mineral reserve figures are only estimates. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. While Osisko believes that the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, as applicable, in respect of properties in which Osisko holds a direct interest or royalties, streams or other interests reflect best estimates performed by or on behalf of the owner of such properties, the estimating of mineral resources and mineral reserves is a subjective process and the accuracy of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, the accuracy of statistical computations, and the assumptions used and judgments made in interpreting available engineering and geological information. There is significant uncertainty in any mineral resource and mineral reserve estimate and the actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of a deposit may differ materially from estimates. Estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves may have to be re-estimated based on changes in prices of gold or other minerals, further exploration or development activity or actual production experience. This could materially and adversely affect estimates of the volume or grade of mineralization, estimated recovery rates or other important factors that influence such estimates. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and there is no assurance that any mineral resource estimate will ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable mineral reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

If operators reduce their mineral reserves and mineral resources on properties underlying Osisko's royalties, streams or other interests, this may result in a material and adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of Osisko securities.

Economics of developing mineral properties

Mineral exploration and development is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are commercially mineable and ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that any exploration properties will be commercially mineable.

Should any mineral resources and mineral reserves exist, substantial expenditures will be required to confirm mineral reserves which are sufficient to commercially mine and to obtain the required environmental approvals and permitting required to commence commercial operations. The decision as to whether a property contains a commercially viable mineral deposit and should be brought into production will depend upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies, and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and/or geologists, all of which involves significant expense. This decision will involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to: (a) costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration and development work, preparation of production feasibility studies and construction of production facilities; (b) availability and costs of financing; (c) ongoing costs of production; (d) metal prices; (e) environmental compliance regulations and restraints (including potential environmental liabilities associated with historical exploration activities); and (f) political climate and/or governmental regulation and control. Development projects are also subject to the successful completion of engineering studies, issuance of necessary governmental permits, and availability of adequate financing. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flow.

Osisko may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses of Osisko and Barkerville and realize the anticipated benefits of the Barkerville Arrangement.

The acquisition of Barkerville by Osisko is expected to strengthen their respective position in the mining exploration industry and to, among other things, combine their assets to realize certain benefits. Achieving the benefits of the transaction depends in part on the ability of Osisko to (a) effectively fund and develop its mining projects even as market conditions remain challenging for gold exploration and development companies, (b) capitalize on its scale, (c) realize the anticipated capital and operating synergies, (d) profitably sequence the growth prospects of its asset base, (e) maximize the potential of its improved growth opportunities and (f) maximize capital funding opportunities. A variety of factors may adversely affect the ability of Osisko and Barkerville to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction which could adversely affect the share price of Osisko Shares.

There are risks related to the integration of the existing businesses of Osisko and Barkerville.

The ability to realize the benefits of the acquisition of Barkerville will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner. This integration will require the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities of Osisko following completion of the acquisition, and from operational matters during this process which may result in a material adverse effect on the profitability, results of operations and financial condition of Osisko.

Osisko's Cariboo Gold project is subject to risks associated with mine development, which may result in delays in advancement of the project and unanticipated costs.

Risks and uncertainties inherent in all mining projects include the accuracy of mineral reserve and resource estimates, metallurgical recoveries, geotechnical and other technical assumptions, capital and operating costs and future commodity prices. Unforeseen circumstances, including those related to the size and grade of the mineralization at the development site, technological impediments to extraction and processing, legal requirements, governmental intervention, infrastructure limitations, environmental issues, local community relations or other events, could result in Cariboo Gold project becoming uneconomic. Also, actual costs and economic returns may differ materially from the Osisko's estimates or Osisko could fail or be delayed in obtaining the governmental permits and approvals necessary for execution of a project and obtaining and maintaining the social license to execute its project, in which case, the project may not proceed either on its original timing or at all.

Factors beyond the control of Osisko

The potential profitability of mineral properties is dependent upon many factors beyond Osisko's control. For instance, world prices of and markets for minerals are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging and/or controls and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments. Another factor is that rates of recovery of minerals from mined ore (assuming that such mineral deposits are known to exist) may vary from the rate experienced in tests and a reduction in the recovery rate will adversely affect profitability and, possibly, the economic viability of a property. Profitability also depends on the costs of operations, including costs of labour, equipment, electricity, environmental compliance or other production inputs. Such costs will fluctuate in ways Osisko cannot predict and are beyond Osisko's control, and such fluctuations will impact on profitability and may eliminate profitability altogether. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for development and other costs have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect the financial performance of Osisko.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Osisko faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt, directly or indirectly, its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions.

Osisko's business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the coronavirus or other epidemics. In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus emerged in China and the virus has now spread to several other countries, including Canada and the U.S., and infections have been reported globally. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts Osisko's business, including its operations and the market for its securities, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could materially and adversely impact Osisko's business including without limitation, employee health, workforce productivity, increased insurance premiums, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, operations and business of third party operators and owners of properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond Osisko's control, which may have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that Osisko's personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases and ultimately see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs / insurance premiums as a result of these health risks.

In addition, a significant outbreak of coronavirus could result in a widespread global health crisis that could adversely affect global economies and financial markets resulting in an economic downturn that could have an adverse effect on the demand for precious metals and Osisko's future prospects.

Influence of third party stakeholders

The lands held by Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests, and the roads or other means of access which they utilize or intend to utilize in carrying out work programs or general business mandates, may be subject to interests or claims by third party individuals, groups or companies. In the event that such third parties assert any claims, work programs may be delayed even if such claims are not meritorious or the scope of the work may otherwise be affected. Such delays may result in significant financial loss and loss of opportunity for Osisko.

Community Relations and Social License

Maintaining a positive relationship with the communities in which Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests operate is critical to continuing successful operation of existing mines as well as construction and development of existing and new projects. Community support for is a key component of a successful mining project or operation.

Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests may come under pressure in the jurisdictions in which they respectively operate, or will operate in the future, to demonstrate that other stakeholders (including employees, communities surrounding operations and the countries in which they respectively operate) benefit and will continue to benefit from their commercial activities, and/or that they operate in a manner that will minimize any potential damage or disruption to the interests of those stakeholders. Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests may face opposition with respect to their respective current and future development and exploration projects which could materially adversely affect their business, results of operations, financial condition and the Osisko share price.

Community relations are impacted by a number of factors, both within and outside of Osisko's control. Relations may be strained or social license lost by poor performance in areas such as health and safety, environmental impacts from the mine, increased traffic or noise. External factors such as press scrutiny or other distributed information from media, governments, non-governmental organizations or interested individuals can also influence sentiment and perceptions toward Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests and their respective operations.

Surrounding communities may affect operations and projects through restriction of site access for equipment, supplies and personnel or through legal challenges. This could interfere with work operations, and potentially pose a security threat to employees or equipment. Social license may also impact the permitting ability, reputation and ability to build positive community relationships in exploration areas or around newly acquired properties.

Erosion of social licence or activities of third parties seeking to call into question social licence may have the effect of slowing down the development of new projects and potentially may increase the cost of constructing and operating these projects. Productivity may be reduced due to restriction of access, requirements to respond to security threats or proceedings initiated or delays in permitting and there may also be extra costs associated with improving the relationship with the surrounding communities.

Foreign operation risk

Certain properties held by Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests are located outside of the United States and Canada. The ownership, development and operation of these properties may be subject to additional risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including, depending on the country, nationalization and expropriation, social unrest, political and economic instability, lack of infrastructure, less developed legal and regulatory systems, uncertainties in perfecting mineral titles, crime, violence, corruption, trade barriers, exchange controls and material changes in taxation. These risks may, among other things, limit or disrupt the ownership, development or operation of properties, mines or projects to which such properties relate, restrict the movement of funds, or result in the deprivation of contractual rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation.

Information Systems and Cyber Security

Osisko relies on its IT infrastructure to meet its business objectives. Osisko uses different IT systems, networks, equipment and software and has adopted security measures to prevent and detect cyber threats. However, Osisko and its counterparties under precious metal purchase agreements, third-party service providers and vendors may be vulnerable to cyber threats, which have been evolving in terms of sophistication and new threats are emerging at an increased rate. Unauthorized third parties may be able to penetrate network security and misappropriate or compromise confidential information, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns to Osisko or its counterparties. Although Osisko has not experienced any losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that there will be no such loss in the future. Significant security breaches or system failures of Osisko or its counterparties, especially if such breach goes undetected for a period of time, may result in significant costs, loss of revenue, fines or lawsuits and damage to reputation. The significance of any cyber security breach is difficult to quantify, but may in certain circumstances be material and could have a material adverse effect on Osisko's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Climate Change

Osisko recognizes that climate change is an international and community concern which may affect the business and operations of Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests, directly or indirectly. The continuing rise in global average temperatures has created varying changes to regional climates across the globe, resulting in risks to equipment and personnel. Governments at all levels are moving towards enacting legislation to address climate change by regulating carbon emissions and energy efficiency, among other things. Where legislation has already been enacted, regulation regarding emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. The mining industry as a significant emitter of greenhouse gas emissions is particularly exposed to these regulations. Costs associated with meeting these requirements may be subject to some offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation; however, there is no assurance that compliance with such legislation will not have an adverse effect on Osisko's business, results of operations, financial condition and its share price.

Extreme weather events (such as prolonged drought or freezing, increased flooding, increased periods of precipitation and increased frequency and intensity of storms) have the potential to disrupt operations and the transport routes. Extended disruptions could result in interruption to production which may adversely affect Osisko's business results of operations, financial condition and its share price.

Climate change is perceived as a threat to communities and governments globally. Stakeholders may increase demands for emissions reductions and call upon mining companies to better manage their consumption of climate-relevant resources (hydrocarbons, water etc.). This may attract social and reputational attention towards operations, which could have an adverse effect on Osisko's business, results of operations, financial condition and its share price.

Reputational Risks

Osisko is subject to reputational risks

Reputational risk is the risk that an activity undertaken by an organization or its representatives will impair its image in the community or lower public confidence in it, resulting in loss of revenue, legal action or increased regulatory oversight and loss of valuation and share price. Possible sources of reputational risk could come from, but not limited to, operational failures, non-compliance with laws and regulations, or leading an unsuccessful financing. In addition to its risk management policies, controls and procedures, Osisko has a formal Code of Ethics to help manage and support Osisko's reputation.

Financial Condition Risks

Osisko is subject to risks related to its financial condition

Osisko's financial condition has an impact on its risk profile. A sound financial condition can allow Osisko to compete for accretive investment opportunities: the better the financial condition, the more it can bid and compete on quality assets. If additional funds are required, the source of funds that may be available to Osisko, in addition to cash flows, is through the issuance of additional equity capital, borrowings or the sale of assets. There is no assurance that such funding will continue to be available to Osisko. Furthermore, even if such financing is available, there can be no assurance that it will be obtained on terms favourable to Osisko or provide Osisko with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect Osisko's business and financial condition. In addition, failure to comply with financial covenants under Osisko's current or future debt agreements or to make scheduled payments of the principal of, or to pay interest on its indebtedness, would likely result in an event of default under the debt agreements and would allow the lenders to accelerate the debt under these agreements, which may affect Osisko's financial condition.

Additional financing may result in dilution

Osisko may require additional funds to further its activities. To obtain such funds, Osisko may issue additional securities including, but not limited to, Osisko Shares or some form of convertible security, the effect of which could result in a substantial dilution of the equity interests of Osisko Shareholders.

There can be no assurance that Osisko will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable.

Declaration and payment of dividends

Any decisions to declare and pay dividends on the Osisko Shares is subject to the discretion of the Osisko Board, based on, among other things, Osisko's earnings, financial requirements for Osisko's operations, the satisfaction of applicable solvency tests for the declaration and payment of dividends and other conditions existing from time to time. As a result, no assurance can be given as to the frequency or amount of any such dividend.

Osisko may be a "passive foreign investment company", or PFIC, under applicable U.S. income tax rules, which could result in adverse tax consequences for United States investors

If Osisko were to constitute a PFIC for any year during a U.S. holder's holding period, then certain potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Osisko Shares.

The U.S. Treasury Department has not issued specific guidance on how the income and assets of a non-U.S. corporation such as Osisko will be treated under the PFIC rules. Osisko believes, on a more likely than not basis, that it was not a PFIC for its tax year ended December 31, 2019, and, based on its current and anticipated business activities and financial expectations, Osisko expects, on a more likely than not basis that it will not be a PFIC for its current tax year and for the foreseeable future.

The determination as to whether a corporation is, or will be, a PFIC for a particular tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations and uncertainty. In addition, there is limited authority on the application of the relevant PFIC rules to entities such as Osisko. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the views of Osisko concerning its PFIC status. In addition, whether any corporation will be a PFIC for any tax year depends on its assets and income over the course of such tax year, and, as a result, Osisko's PFIC status for its current tax year and any future tax year cannot be predicted with certainty. Each U.S. holder should consult its own tax adviser regarding the PFIC status of Osisko.

Changes in tax legislation or accounting rules could affect the profitability of Osisko

Changes to, or differing interpretation of, taxation laws or regulations in any of Canada, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Armenia, Kenya, Macedonia, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, United States of America or any of the countries in which Osisko's assets or relevant contracting parties are located could result in some or all of Osisko's profits being subject to additional taxation. No assurance can be given that new taxation rules or accounting policies will not be enacted or that existing rules will not be applied in a manner which could result in Osisko's profits being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of Osisko's securities. In addition, the introduction of new tax rules or accounting policies, or changes to, or differing interpretations of, or application of, existing tax rules or accounting policies could make royalties, streams or other interests by Osisko less attractive to counterparties. Such changes could adversely affect Osisko's ability to acquire new assets or make future investments.

The CRA's recent focus on foreign income earned by Canadian companies may result in adverse tax consequences for Osisko

There has been a recent focus by the CRA on income earned by foreign subsidiaries of Canadian companies. The majority of Osisko's offtake and stream assets are owned by and the related revenue is received by its Bermuda wholly-owned subsidiary. Osisko has not received any reassessment or proposal from the CRA in connection with income earned by its foreign subsidiaries. Although management believes that Osisko is in full compliance with Canadian tax law, there can be no assurance that Osisko's structure may not be challenged in future. In the event the CRA successfully challenges Osisko's structure, this could potentially result in additional federal and provincial taxes and penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on Osisko.

Financial Reporting Risks

Osisko is subject to risks related to financial reporting

In accordance with statutory requirements and sound management practices, Osisko issues financial statements, which present its financial condition at a given date and its financial performance over a certain period. The risk of misstatement of financial or restatement of financial statements can result in significant losses to Osisko: financial losses, as a result of litigation and fines, losses in market capitalization, reputational losses. Key misstatements would include (a) fraudulent misappropriation of assets; (b) fraudulent misrepresentation of performance motivated by personal gain; and (c) inadequate estimates with an impact on valuation of assets and liabilities.

Osisko may fail to maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting as per the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Section 404 of the SOX requires an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of Osisko's internal control over financial reporting and an attestation report by Osisko's external auditor addressing this assessment. While Osisko's internal control over financial reporting for its last completed financial year were effective, Osisko may in the future fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, and Osisko may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of SOX. Osisko's failure to satisfy the requirements of section 404 of SOX and achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm Osisko's business and negatively impact the trading price of securities. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Osisko's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. Future acquisitions of companies may provide Osisko with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired companies may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those currently applicable to Osisko.

No evaluation can provide complete assurance that Osisko's internal control over financial reporting will detect or uncover all failures of persons within Osisko to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The effectiveness of Osisko's controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments. In addition, should Osisko expand in the future, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal control over financial reporting will increase and will require that Osisko continue to improve its internal control over financial reporting. Although Osisko intends to devote substantial time and incur substantial costs, as necessary, to ensure compliance, Osisko cannot be certain that it will be successful in complying with Section 404 on an ongoing basis.

Human Resources Risks

Osisko may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management and specialized technical personnel to grow its business, which could have a material adverse effect on Osisko's business and financial condition

Osisko may be dependent on the services of key executives and other highly skilled personnel focused on advancing its corporate objectives as well as the identification of new opportunities for growth and funding. The loss of these persons or its inability to attract and retain additional highly skilled employees required for its activities may have a material adverse effect on Osisko's business and financial condition. Osisko implemented a succession plan in order to mitigate the risk of being dependent on such key management and specialized technical personnel. From time to time, Osisko may also need to identify and retain additional skilled management and specialized technical personnel to efficiently operate its business.

Osisko or the companies in which Osisko holds royalties, streams offtake or other interests may remain highly dependent upon contractors and third parties in the performance of their exploration, development and operational activities. There can be no guarantee that such contractors and third parties will be available to carry out such activities on their behalf or be available upon commercially acceptable terms.

Currency Risks

Osisko's revenue, earnings, the value of its treasury and the value it records for its assets are subject to variations in foreign exchange rates, which may adversely affect the revenue generated by the asset portfolio or cause adjustments to the recorded value of assets

Osisko's main activities and offices are currently located in Canada and the costs associated with Osisko's activities are in majority denominated in Canadian dollar. However, Osisko's revenues from the sale of gold, silver or other commodities are in U.S. dollars. Osisko is subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures, which may have a material and adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by management to address variations in foreign exchange rates will eliminate all adverse effects and Osisko may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Financial Markets Risks

Osisko is subject to risks related to financial markets

Failure of financial markets can have a significant impact on the valuation of Osisko and its assets, and increasing financial and takeover risks.

Fluctuation in market value of Osisko Shares

The market price of the Osisko Shares is affected by many variables not directly related to the corporate performance of Osisko, including the strength of the economy generally, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments, and the breadth of the public market for the securities. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of Osisko Shares in the future cannot be predicted.

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of Osisko include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries or asset classes. There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in mineral prices will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of Osisko's securities at any given time may not accurately reflect the long term value of Osisko.

Equity Price Risk and Liquidity of Investments

Osisko is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding a portfolio of investments in publicly listed companies. Just as investing in Osisko is inherent with risks such as those set out in this Annual Information Form, by investing in these other companies, Osisko is exposed to the risks associated with owning equity securities and those risks inherent in the investee companies. Osisko may have difficulty in selling its investments in exploration and mining companies in the event such sales would be contemplated.

Legal Risks

Osisko is subject to significant governmental regulations

Osisko's activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing various matters, including environmental protection; management and use of toxic substances and explosives; management of natural resources; exploration of mineral properties; exports; price controls; taxation; labour standards and occupational health and safety, including mine safety; and historic and cultural preservation.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in civil or criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions, any of which could result in significant expenditures. Osisko may also be required to compensate private parties suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations or permitting requirements. It is also possible that future laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions on or suspensions of Osisko's activities and delays in the exploration of properties.

Osisko's business is subject to evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations that have increased both Osisko's compliance costs and the risk of non compliance, which could have an adverse effect on the price of Osisko's securities

Osisko is subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of Canadian and U.S. governmental and self-regulated organizations. These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and many new requirements have been created, making compliance more difficult and uncertain. Osisko's efforts to comply with rules and regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

Osisko may be subject to liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which it does not or cannot economically insure

Mining is capital intensive and subject to a number of risks and hazards, including environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial and transportation accidents, labour disputes, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena (such as inclement weather conditions, earthquakes and encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions. Such risk and hazards might impact the business of Osisko or of the companies in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests. Consequently, many of the foregoing risks and hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or future processing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in or interruption of or cessation of their exploration or development activities, delay in or inability to receive required regulatory approvals, or costs, monetary losses and potential legal liability and adverse governmental action. Osisko, or the companies in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests, may be subject to liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which they do not or cannot insure or against which they may reasonably elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could result in material economic harm to Osisko.

There can be no assurance of title to property

There may be challenges to title to the mineral properties held by Osisko or the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interests. If there are title defects with respect to any such properties, they might be required to compensate other persons or perhaps reduce its interest in the affected property. Also, in any such case, the investigation and resolution of title issues would divert management's time from ongoing programs.

There may be amendments to laws

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on Osisko and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

Disputes may arise over the existence, validity, enforceability and geographic extent of royalties, streams or other interests

Royalties, streams and other interests are subject to title and other defects and contestation by operators of mining projects and holders of mining rights, and these risks may be difficult to identify. While Osisko seeks to confirm the existence, validity, enforceability and geographic extent of the royalties, streams and other interests it holds, there can be no assurance that disputes over these and other matters will not arise.

The properties on which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests or the companies in which Osisko has an equity interest may be the subject of litigation

Potential litigation may arise on a property on which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests (for example litigation between joint venture partners or original property owners) or with respect to a company in which Osisko holds an equity interest. As a holder of royalties, streams or other interests, Osisko will not generally have any influence on the litigation nor will it generally have access to data.

The registration of royalties, streams or other interests may not protect Osisko's interests

The right to record or register royalties, streams or other interests in various registries or mining recorders offices may not necessarily provide any protection to Osisko. Accordingly, Osisko may be subject to risk from third parties.

Environmental risks and hazards

Osisko and the companies in which Osisko has royalties, streams or other interest are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which they operate. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the general, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Osisko's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties which are unknown to Osisko at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. Reclamation costs are uncertain and planned expenditures estimated by management may differ from the actual expenditures required.

Foreign countries and regulatory requirements

Osisko and the companies in which Osisko holds royalties, streams or other interests have investments in properties and projects located in foreign countries. The carrying values of these properties and the ability to advance development plans or bring the projects to production may be adversely affected by whatever political instability and legal and economic uncertainty might exist in such countries. These risks may limit or disrupt projects, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contractual rights or the taking of property by nationalization, expropriation or other means without fair compensation.

There can be no assurance that industries which are deemed of national or strategic importance in countries in which Osisko has assets, including mineral exploration, production and development, will not be nationalized. The risk exists that further government limitations, restrictions or requirements, not presently foreseen, will be implemented. Changes in policies intended to alter laws regulating the mining industry could have a material adverse effect on Osisko. There can be no assurance that Osisko's assets in these countries will not be subject to nationalization, requisition or confiscation, whether legitimate or not, by an authority or body.

In addition, in the event of a dispute arising from foreign operations, Osisko may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada. Osisko also may be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. It is not possible for Osisko to accurately predict such developments or changes in laws or policy or to the extent to which any such developments or changes may have a material adverse effect on Osisko's operations.

Conflict of Interest Risks

Some of Osisko's directors and officers may have conflicts of interest as a result of their involvement with other natural resource companies

Some of the persons who are directors and officers of Osisko are directors or officers of other natural resource or mining-related companies and these associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. As a result of these conflicts of interest, Osisko may miss the opportunity to participate in certain transactions, which may have a material adverse effect on Osisko's financial position.

Merger and Acquisitions Risks

Any mergers, acquisitions or joint ventures would be accompanied by risks

Osisko may evaluate from time to time opportunities to merge, acquire and joint venture assets and businesses. Global landscape has changed for mergers and acquisitions and there are risks associated to such transactions due to liabilities and evaluations with the aggressive timelines of closing transactions from increased competition. There is also a risk that the review and examination process of a potential investment might be inadequate and cause material negative outcomes. These acquisitions may be significant in size, may change the scale of Osisko's business and may expose it to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. Osisko's success in its acquisition activities will depend on its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates and partners, acquire or joint venture them on acceptable terms and integrate their operations successfully with those of Osisko. Any acquisitions may be accompanied by risks, such as: (a) the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies; (b) the potential disruption of Osisko's ongoing business; (c) the inability of management to maximize the financial and strategic position of Osisko through the successful incorporation of acquired assets and businesses or joint ventures; (d) additional expenses associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets; the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; (e) the impairment of relationships with employees, customers and contractors as a result of any integration of new management personnel; (f) dilution of Osisko's present shareholders or of its interests in its subsidiaries or assets as a result of the issuance of shares to pay for acquisitions or the decision to grant interests to a joint venture partner; and (g) the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired assets and businesses. There can be no assurance that Osisko would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions or joint ventures. There may be no right for shareholders to evaluate the merits or risks of any future acquisition or joint venture undertaken except as required by applicable laws and regulations.

Mergers and acquisitions contemplated by Osisko may require third party approvals

Osisko may intend to enter into agreements to acquire royalties, streams or other interests that require the consent or approval of third parties in order to complete the contemplated acquisition. There can be no assurance that such third parties, which may include shareholders of the entity disposing of the interests, regulatory bodies or entities with an interest in the applicable property or others, will provide the required approval or consent in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to complete acquisitions may result in a material adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

Osisko faces competition and the mining industry is competitive at all of its stages

Many companies and investors are engaged in the search for and the acquisition of royalties, streams or other interests, and there is a limited supply of desirable mineral interests. The mineral exploration business is competitive in all phases. Many companies and investors are engaged in the acquisition of royalties, streams or other interests, including pension funds, private funds, mining companies, operators and large, established companies with substantial financial resources, operational capabilities and long earnings records. Osisko may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring interests in natural resource properties, whether by way of royalties, streams or other form of investment, as many competitors may have greater financial resources and technical staff. There can be no assurance that Osisko will be able to compete successfully against other companies and investors in acquiring interests in new natural resource properties and royalties, streams or other interests. In addition, Osisko may be unable to make acquisitions at acceptable valuations and on terms it considers to be acceptable. Osisko's inability to acquire additional royalties, streams or other interests in mineral properties may result in a material and adverse effect on Osisko's profitability, results of operation and financial condition.

In addition, there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the sale of commercial quantities of metals. Factors beyond the control of Osisko may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in Osisko not receiving any future payments related to royalties, streams or other interests or losing value on its equity investments.

Fraud Risks

Osisko is subject to potential fraud and corruption

Osisko is subject to risks related to potential to gain benefits from improper transactions (purchasing, gold, payroll) and financial reporting to hide operational deficiencies or enhance remuneration. Other risks include the potential for fraud and corruption by suppliers, personnel or government officials and which may implicate Osisko, compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws, by virtue of Osisko operating in jurisdictions that may be vulnerable to the possibility of bribery, collusion, kickbacks, theft, improper commissions, facilitation payments, conflicts of interest and related party transactions and Osisko's possible failure to identify, manage and mitigate instances of fraud, corruption, or violations of its Code of Ethics and applicable regulatory requirements.

MATERIAL MINERAL PROJECT

The Canadian Malartic Royalty

Pursuant to the Canadian Malartic Royalty Agreement, Osisko holds a real right in the Canadian Malartic Properties (and the associated ores, minerals and mineral resources and by-products thereof which may be extracted from the Canadian Malartic Properties) and Canadian Malartic GP has agreed to pay Osisko a 5% NSR royalty from production of metals, ores and other materials recovered from the Canadian Malartic Properties (the "Canadian Malartic Royalty"). The term of the Canadian Malartic Royalty Agreement is perpetual.

For a description of the Canadian Malartic Properties, see "Schedule B - Technical Information underlying the Canadian Malartic Properties".

Prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, Osisko may elect to receive payment of the Canadian Malartic Royalty for such fiscal year to the extent relating to gold and silver as an in-kind credit. If Osisko has elected to receive the in-kind royalty, where precious metals are shipped in the form of dore, Osisko's account shall be credited with 5% of the refined gold and 5% of the refined silver credited as soon as practicable and in any event no later than five (5) business days after the refined gold or refined silver is credited, subject to further adjustment. Since 2014, Osisko has elected to receive the Canadian Malartic Royalty in-kind. The Canadian Malartic Royalty is payable quarterly and all payments pursuant to the Canadian Malartic Royalty to be paid in cash must be paid in U.S. dollars.

Osisko has the right to inspect the Canadian Malartic Properties and to inspect and audit books and records upon 20 days' prior notice to Canadian Malartic GP. Canadian Malartic GP is required to deliver to Osisko an annual forecast report.

If Canadian Malartic GP intends to abandon any portion of the Canadian Malartic Properties, Osisko can elect to have such portion conveyed to it, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Canadian Malartic GP is required to pay Osisko a $0.40 per tonne milling fee in respect of ore milled at the Canadian Malartic Properties after June 16, 2021 that is not produced from the Canadian Malartic Properties provided no fee is payable in respect of any tonnes of ore milled in excess of 65,000 tpd.

Osisko may assign all of its rights in the Canadian Malartic Royalty without the prior consent of Canadian Malartic GP. Canadian Malartic GP may not assign or otherwise convey the Canadian Malartic Properties unless certain conditions are satisfied.

A deed of hypothec was entered into in order to hypothecate the Canadian Malartic Properties in favour of Osisko and securing payment of the Canadian Malartic Royalty subject to certain terms and conditions. The hypothec is first-ranking subject to, among other things, security existing at the time of execution of the Canadian Malartic Royalty Agreement. The Canadian Malartic Royalty Agreement has been published at the Québec Public Register of Real and Immovable Mining Rights.

NOTES:

(i) Not applicable ("n/a") for annual summaries.

(ii) To be determined ("tbd") on March 31, 2020 based on the number of shares outstanding and the number of shares participating in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan on the record date.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

In 2015, Osisko implemented the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows Canadian shareholders and U.S. shareholders (commencing with the dividend paid on October 16, 2017 for U.S. shareholders) to reinvest their cash dividends into additional Osisko shares either purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or the NYSE, or issued directly from treasury by Osisko, or acquired by a combination thereof. In the case of a treasury issuance, the price will be the weighted average price of the Osisko Shares on the TSX or the NYSE during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date, less a discount, if any, of up to 5%, at Osisko's sole election. No commissions, service charges or brokerage fees are payable by shareholders who elect to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

As at December 31, 2019, the holders of 6,666,723 Osisko Shares had elected to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, representing dividends payable of $0.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Osisko issued 198,609 Osisko Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, at a discount rate of 3%.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies, Penalties or Sanctions

Corporate Cease Trade Orders

As at the date of this Annual Information Form, no current director or executive officer of Osisko is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Annual Information Form has been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including Osisko), that:

(a) was subject to a cease trade order (including any management cease trade order which applied to directors or executive officers of a company, whether or not the person is named in the order), an order similar to a cease trade order, or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (an "Order") while that person was acting in that capacity; or

(b) was subject to an Order that was issued after the current director or executive officer ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer. ****

Bankruptcy

To the knowledge of Osisko, as at the date of this Annual Information Form, no current director, executive officer, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of Osisko to affect materially the control of Osisko is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Annual Information Form has:

(a) other than Mr. William Murray John, who was a director of insolvent African Minerals Limited, a company who appointed Deloitte LLP as its administrator by order of the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Companies Court on March 26, 2015, been a director or executive officer of any company (including Osisko) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or

(b) become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the current or proposed director, executive officer or shareholder.

Penalties and Sanctions

To the knowledge of Osisko, as at the date of this Annual Information Form, no current director, executive officer, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of Osisko to affect materially the control of Osisko has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the directors and officers of Osisko will not be devoting all of their time to the affairs of Osisko. Certain of the directors and officers of Osisko are directors and officers of other companies, some of which are in the same business as Osisko. See "Risk Factors".

The directors and officers of Osisko are required by law to act in the best interests of Osisko. They have the same obligations to the other companies in respect of which they act as directors and officers. Any decision made by any of such officers or directors involving Osisko will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations under the applicable laws of Canada.

As part of its business model and in connection with its investments made in various other companies, either by acquiring equity interests, purchasing royalties, streams or other interests or options thereon or otherwise, Osisko generally expects from its directors and officers to be actively involved within such investee companies, which may include occupying seats on their board of directors. Osisko acknowledges that a director or an officer serving on too many public boards of directors might be "overboarded". Consequently, all directors and officers of Osisko must submit to the Governance and Nomination Committee any offer to join an outside board of directors in order to ensure that any additional directorship would not impair the ability to adequately fulfill the responsibilities assigned to the directors and officers of the Corporation.

As a general guideline, the Governance and Nomination Committee of Osisko will consider that a director or officer of Osisko should be regarded as "overboarded" if he or she:

(a) has attended fewer than 75% of Osisko's board and committee meetings held within the past year without a valid reason for the absences;

and

(b)

(i) is the President or Chief Executive Officer of Osisko, he or she sits on more than two (2) "outside public company board", in addition to Osisko; or

(ii) if not the President or Chief Executive Officer of Osisko, sits on more than five (5) public company boards, in addition to Osisko.

In determining what is an "outside public company board", the Governance and Nomination Committee specifically excludes investee companies for the reason that becoming a director of such companies is crucial in order to oversee and supervise Osisko's investment in such investee companies. This representation allows Osisko to protect its shareholders' interests. Furthermore, these investee companies are mostly junior exploration companies which only hold a limited number of board meetings each year.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS

Legal Proceedings

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and as of the date hereof, there have been and are no material legal proceedings outstanding, threatened or pending, by or against Osisko or to which Osisko is a party or to which any of Osisko's property is subject, nor to Osisko's knowledge are any such legal proceedings contemplated, and which could become material to Osisko.

Regulatory Actions

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and as of the date hereof, there have been no penalties or sanctions imposed against Osisko (a) by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or (b) by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision in Osisko. Osisko has not entered into any settlement agreements with a court relating to securities legislation or with a securities regulatory authority during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and as of the date hereof.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Within the three (3) most recently completed financial years or during the current financial year, no director or executive officer of Osisko, or shareholder who beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding Osisko Shares, or any known associates or affiliates of such persons, has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any proposed transaction that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect Osisko except for Orion as a result of the Orion Share Repurchase.

TRANSFER AGENTS AND REGISTRARS

The transfer agent and registrar for the Osisko Shares is AST Trust Company (Canada), which is located at 2001 Robert-Bourassa, Suite 1600, Montreal, Québec, Canada H3A 2A6.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS

The external auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out a proper audit of the Corporation's annual financial statements and other procedures. In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Audit and Risk Committee are not full-time employees of the Corporation and are not, and do not represent themselves to be, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing including in respect of auditor independence. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit and Risk Committee or its members to conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards, and each member of the Audit and Risk Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and external to the Corporation from which it receives information, (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Audit and Risk Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board of Directors) and (iii) representations made by management as to non-audit services provided by the auditors to the Corporation.

Project Description, Location and Access

The Canadian Malartic mine is located approximately 25 kilometres west of the City of Val-d'Or and 80 kilometres east of City of Rouyn-Noranda. The mine lies within the town of Malartic. It straddles the townships of Fournière, Malartic and Surimau.

The Canadian Malartic mine operates under mining leases obtained from the Ministry of Natural Resources (Québec) and under certificates of approval granted by the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change (Québec). The Canadian Malartic mine is comprised of the East Amphi property, the CHL Malartic prospect, the Canadian Malartic property of Canadian Malartic Corporation and the Fournière, Midway and Piche-Harvey properties. The Canadian Malartic mine consists of a contiguous block comprising one (1) mining concession, six (6) mining leases and 272 mining claims. The Canadian Malartic mine is owned by Canadian Malartic GP. The Canadian Malartic mining claims give Canadian Malartic GP the right to explore for mineral substances on the subject land; the mining leases give Canadian Malartic GP the right to mine mineral substances on the subject land; and the mining concession gives Canadian Malartic GP the right to mine mineral substances and with surface rights limited to those necessary for mining activities on the subject land.

Expiration dates for the mining leases on the Canadian Malartic Property vary between November 24, 2029 and July 27, 2037 and are automatically renewable for three further ten-year terms upon payment of a small fee.

The Canadian Malartic mine can be accessed either from Val d'Or in the east or from Rouyn-Noranda in the west via Québec provincial highway No. 117. A paved road running north-south from the town of Malartic towards Mourier Lake cuts through the central area of the Canadian Malartic mine. The Canadian Malartic Property is further accessible by a series of logging roads and trails. The Canadian Malartic mine is also serviced by a rail-line which cuts through the middle of the town of Malartic. The nearest large airport is located in Val-d'Or, about 25 km east of the Canadian Malartic mine.

A buffer zone 135 metres wide has been developed along the northern limit of the open pit to mitigate the impacts of mining activities on the citizens of Malartic. Inside this buffer zone, a landscaped ridge was built mainly using rock and topsoil produced during pre-stripping work.

The electrical power for the Canadian Malartic mine is supplied from the existing Hydro-Québec 120kV Cadillac main substation. A 120 kV electrical transmission line, approximately 19 kilometres long was built. The plant water systems consist of the process water system which is supplied principally from the plant thickener overflows, the fresh water system which is supplied from an old underground mine dewatering system, the reagent preparation water system, the gland water distribution system and the reclaim water from form the Southeast Pond area. The Canadian Malartic mine is also connected to the Malartic municipal sewage and potable water systems. Fuel storage facilities have 250,000 litres of storage capacity.

Skilled workers are available from the areas within an approximate 25 km radius of Malartic, specifically Cadillac to the west and Val-d'Or to the east, where a number of mines are still in operation.

The Canadian Malartic Property is situated in the Abitibi lowlands and is relatively flat, consisting of plains with a few small hills. The topography on the property has altitudes ranging from 310 metres above sea level ("masl") to 360 masl. Most of the area is sparsely wooded with secondary growth black spruce, larch and birch as the dominant species. The central, east-central and west-central parts of the property are cut by a number of small streams, generally oriented east-west and connecting bogs or swampy areas.

Overburden is characteristically a thin layer of till, typically only a few metres thick, with local surface development of organic-rich boggy material. Outcropping exposures of rock are rare to moderate, generally increasing towards the southern portion of the property and lithologies become harder and more resistant to erosion.

The Canadian Malartic mine includes open-pit operations, an administration/warehouse building, a mine office/truck shop building, a process plant, a tailings management facility and the crushing plant.

Following the joint acquisition of Osisko Mining Corporation (now Canadian Malartic Corporation) by Agnico and Yamana, most of the mining titles are subject to a 5% NSR royalty payable to Osisko. The mining claims comprising the CHL Malartic prospect are subject to 3% NSR royalties payable to each of Osisko and Abitibi Royalties Inc. In addition, of the 208 mining claims constituting the Canadian Malartic property on June 16, 2014, 101 were also subject to other net NSR royalties that vary between 1% and 2%, payable under varying circumstances. Osisko holds a 5% NSR royalty on the East Gouldie and Odyssey South zones; whereas parts of the Odyssey North and East Malartic zones are amenable to either 3% or 5% NSR royalty. All of these zones comprise underground mineral resources which adjoin the Canadian Malartic mine.

History

Gold was first discovered in the Malartic area in 1923. Gold production on the Canadian Malartic property began in 1935 and continued uninterrupted until 1965. Following various ownership changes over the ensuing years, Osisko Mining Corporation (now Canadian Malartic Corporation) acquired ownership of the Canadian Malartic property in 2004. Based on a feasibility study completed in December 2008, Osisko Mining Corporation (now Canadian Malartic Corporation) completed construction of a 55,000 tonne per day mill complex, tailings impoundment area, 5 million cubic metre polishing pond and road network by February 2011, and the mill was commissioned in March 2011. The Canadian Malartic mine achieved commercial production on May 19, 2011.

Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types

Geology

The Canadian Malartic property straddles the southern margin of the eastern portion of the Abitibi Subprovince, an Archean greenstone belt situated in the southeastern part of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The Abitibi Subprovince is limited to the north by gneisses and plutons of the Opatica Subprovince, and to the south by metasediments and intrusive rocks of the Pontiac Subprovince. The contact between the Pontiac Subprovince and the rocks of the Abitibi greenstone belt is characterized by a major fault corridor, the east-west trending Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone ("LLCFZ"). This structure runs from Larder Lake, Ontario through Rouyn-Noranda, Cadillac, Malartic, Val-d'Or and Louvicourt, Québec, at which point it is truncated by the Grenville Front.

The regional stratigraphy of the southeastern Abitibi area is divided into groups of alternating volcanic and sedimentary rocks, generally oriented at N280° - N330° and separated by fault zones. The main lithostratigraphic divisions in this region are, from south to north, the Pontiac Group of the Pontiac Subprovince and the Piché, Cadillac, Blake River, Kewagama and Malartic groups of the Abitibi Subprovince. The various lithological groups within the Abitibi Subprovince are metamorphosed to greenschist facies. Metamorphic grade increases toward the southern limit of the Abitibi belt, where rocks of the Piché Group and the northern part of the Pontiac Group have been metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies.

The majority of the Canadian Malartic property is underlain by metasedimentary units of the Pontiac Group, lying immediately south of the LLCFZ. The north-central portion of the property covers an approximately 9.5 kilometre section of the LLCFZ corridor and is underlain by mafic-ultramafic rocks of the Piché Group cut by porphyritic and dioritic intrusions. The Cadillac Group covers the northern part of the property (north of the LLCFZ). It consists of greywacke containing lenses of conglomerate.

Surface drilling by Lac Minerals Ltd. in the 1980s defined several near-surface mineralized zones now included in the Canadian Malartic deposit (the F, P, A, Wolfe and Gilbert zones), all expressions of a larger, continuous mineralized system located at depth around the historical underground workings of the Canadian Malartic and Sladen mines. In addition to these, the Western Porphyry Zone occurs 1 km northeast of the main Canadian Malartic deposit and the Gouldie mineralized zone occurs approximately 1.2 km southeast of the main Canadian Malartic deposit, although the relationship between these zones and the main deposit is presently unknown.

Mineralization

Mineralization in the Canadian Malartic deposit occurs as a continuous shell of 1 to 5% disseminated pyrite associated with fine native gold and traces of chalcopyrite, sphalerite and tellurides. The gold resource is mostly hosted by altered clastic sediments of the Pontiac Group (70%) overlying an epizonal dioritic porphyry intrusion. A portion of the deposit also occurs in the upper portions of the porphyry body (30%).

The South Barnat deposit is located to the north and south of the old South Barnat and East Malartic mine workings, largely along the southern edge of the LLCFZ. The disseminated/stockwork gold mineralization at South Barnat is hosted both in potassic-altered, silicified greywackes of the Pontiac Group (south of the fault contact) and in potassic-altered porphyry dykes and schistose, carbonatized and biotitic ultramafic rocks (north of the fault contact).

Several mineralized zones have been documented within the LLCFZ (South Barnat, Buckshot, East Malartic, Jeffrey, Odyssey, East Amphi, Fourax), all of which are generally spatially associated with stockworks and disseminations within dioritic or felsic porphyritic intrusions.

Deposit Type

The Canadian Malartic mine is interpreted within a magmatic-hydrothermal model that calls for the exsolution of an ore fluid from monzodioritic magma at mid-crustal levels. During its ascent, this fluid potassically altered, carbonated, sulphidized and locally silicified the host rocks and deposited gold. The porphyritic rocks that host some of the mineralization were thus not the source of the fluids. Rather, their contacts with Pontiac greywacke and Piché mafic and ultramafic rocks provided the competency contrasts that helped focus the mineralizing fluids.

Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification

The available data from the QA/QC programs for the Canadian Malartic databases show overall acceptable results.

The statistics of the Certified Reference Materials (standards) are considered within industry-accepted limits of accuracy.

The level of contamination appears to be low as the blank samples do not display evidence of significant contamination.

The samples sent to an external laboratory do not show any significant bias as the global average is about the same and the coefficient of correlation between the two populations is higher than 98%.

The Canadian Malartic drill hole databases are considered robust and suitable enough for use in mineral resource estimation studies.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

Canadian Malartic ore is composed of four main lithologies (CPO, SPO, CGR and SGR) spread throughout the deposit in an average ratio of 10%, 20%, 28% and 42%. The deposit was studied (metallurgical testwork) along three axes: east-west, north-south and depth. The main parameters studied were hardness and abrasion variability, reagent consumption and gold recovery.

Gold deportment and diagnostic leach tests demonstrated that the residual gold, after the leach process, is encapsulated mainly in pyrite. The significant proportion of the gold remaining in the tailings after the leach process was characterized as very fine. It was demonstrated that gravimetric processes are inefficient due to the small grain size. The grind of the leach feed is the most important parameter observed, especially for the gold encapsulated in sulphide. The finer the grind, the higher the recovery, especially for the gold in sulphide.

Mining Operations

The Canadian Malartic mine is a large open-pit operation comprising the Canadian Malartic, Barnat and Gouldie pits.

Mining at the Canadian Malartic mine is done by open pit method using excavators and trucks, using large scale equipment. The primary loading tools are hydraulic excavators, with wheel loaders used as a secondary loading tool. The mine production schedule was developed to feed the mill at a nominal rate of 55,000 tonnes per day. The continuity and consistency of the mineralization, coupled with tight definition drilling, which has been confirmed by nine years of mining operations, demonstrates the amenability of the mineral reserves and mineral resources to the selected mining method.

The following table sets forth operation statistics of the Canadian Malartic mine for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Figures have been adjusted by Osisko to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic operation.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2019 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2018
Tonnes of ore milled (thousands of tonnes) (100%) 20,782 20,484
Tonnes of ore milled per day (100%) 57,669 56,121
Gold grade (g/t) 1.12 1.20
Gold production (ounces) (100%) 662,918 697,200
Production costs per tonne (C$) $26 $25
Minesite costs per tonne (C$) $26 $25
Production costs per ounce of gold produced (US$ per ounce) $628 $573
Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced (US$ per ounce) $606 $559

Production costs per tonne for the full year 2019 were essentially the same when compared to the prior-year period. Production costs per ounce for the full year 2019 increased when compared to the prior-year period due to higher contractor costs, lower deferred capitalized stripping costs and lower gold production.

Minesite costs per tonne for the full year 2019 were essentially the same when compared to the prior-year period. Total cash costs per ounce for the full year 2019 increased when compared to the prior-year period due to the reasons described above.

Gold production for the full year 2019 decreased when compared to the prior-year period due to lower grades resulting from less flexibility in the mining sequence. A reduced mining footprint and a higher density of underground openings in the Canadian Malartic pit has limited the access to higher-grade tonnes, which will be supplemented by lower-grade stockpiles in 2020.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, pre-commercial production began at the Barnat extension project as the new Highway 117 deviation opened for traffic in early October. Mining activities at the Barnat pit are expected to continue to ramp up during 2020. Approximately 15,500 ounces of pre-commercial gold production are expected from the Barnat pit during the first nine months of 2020.

Exploration programs are ongoing to evaluate several deposits to the east of the Canadian Malartic open pit, including the East Gouldie, Odyssey and East Malartic zones.

The permit allowing for the development of an underground ramp at the Odyssey project was received in December 2018.

As part of ongoing stakeholder engagement, Canadian Malartic GP is in discussions with four First Nations groups concerning a potential memorandum of understanding, which is expected to also include a financial component. As with the Good Neighbour Guide and other community relations efforts at Canadian Malartic, the Company is working collaboratively with stakeholders to establish cooperative relationships that support the long-term potential of the mine.

Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

Surface Facilities

Surface facilities at the Canadian Malartic mine include the administration/warehouse building, the mine office/truck shop building, the process plant, a tailings management facility and the crushing plant. The processing plant has a nominal capacity of 55,000 tonnes of ore.

Ore is processed via conventional cyanidation. Ore blasted from the pit is first crushed by a gyratory crusher followed by secondary crushing prior to grinding. Ground ore feeds successively into leach and CIP circuits.

A Zadra elution circuit is used to extract the gold from the loaded carbon. Pregnant solution is processing via electrowining and the resulting precipitate is smelted into gold/silver dore bars.

Mill tails are thickened and detoxified, reducing cyanide levels below 20 parts per million. A recent study supported the change-over of the existing Combinox (sulfur dioxide - hydrogen peroxide) cyanide detoxifying process into a Caro's (sulfuric acide - hydrogen peroxide) acid process. Detoxified slurry is subsequently pumped to a conventional tailings facility.

Environmental Matters

In 2015, an action plan was developed and implemented by Canadian Malartic GP to mitigate noise, vibrations, atmospheric emissions and ancillary issues. Mitigation measures were put in place to improve the process and avoid any non-conformance. As a result, over time, Canadian Malartic GP has improved its environmental performance compared to previous years. With respect to activities in 2018, it received one non-compliance blast notice, a decrease from the three notices received with respect to activities in 2017. The mine's team of on-site environmental experts continuously monitor regulatory compliance in terms of approvals, permits and observance of directives and requirements.

The original design of the waste rock pile was developed to accommodate approximately 326 million of tonnes of mechanically placed waste rock requiring a total storage volume of approximately 161 million cubic metres. The design of the waste rock pile has been modified to accommodate the Canadian Malartic pit extension and now includes storage capacity for approximately 740 million tonnes.

The public hearings as part of the BAPE process took place in June and July 2016 for the Canadian Malartic pit extension and the BAPE issued their report in October 2016, with a recommendation to the Minister that the project be accepted with certain conditions. The Quebec government issued the decree authorizing both the pit extension and deviation of Quebec provincial highway No. 117 on April 12, 2017.

An annual hydrological site balance is maintained to provide a yearly estimate of water volumes that must be managed in the different structures of the water management system of the Canadian Malartic mine during an average climatic year (in terms of precipitation). Results of this hydrological balance indicate that excess water from the Southeast Pond will eventually need to be released into the environment. A water treatment plant is currently under construction to ensure that in the short and medium term the water to be released to the environment will meet water quality requirements. Adding a treatment plant is expected to reduce the risks associated with surface water management and add flexibility to the system.

Reclamation and closure costs have been estimated for rehabilitating the tailings facility and waste dump, vegetating the surrounding area, dismantling the plant and associated infrastructure, and performing environmental inspection and monitoring for a period of ten years.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Estimates

In February 2020, Agnico disclosed mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates reported as at December 31, 2019. All numbers published by Agnico in respect of the Canadian Malartic mine reflect its 50% ownership in the mine. However, unless otherwise noted, the figures presented in this Annual Information Form have been adjusted, where applicable, to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic mine.

The following table sets forth the estimated "Mineral Reserves" (as defined in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") - Definition Standards adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the "CIM Definition Standards") for the Canadian Malartic mine operated by Canadian Malartic GP, owned by Agnico (50%) and Yamana (50%), as of December 31, 2019 (figures below have been adjusted by Osisko to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic operation):

Notes:

(1) The Mineral Reserves have been calculated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101. The "Mineral Reserves" are classified as "Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves", and are based on the CIM Definition Standards.

(2) Canadian Malartic GP, owned by Agnico (50%) and Yamana (50%), which owns and operates the Canadian Malartic mine, has estimated the mine's December 2019 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources using the following assumptions: US$1,200 per ounce gold, a cut-off grade between 0.40 g/t and 0.43 g/t gold (depending on the deposit) and an exchange rate of C$1.25 per US$1.00.

(3) The numbers in the "Tonnes" and "Contained Metal" columns are based on Agnico's disclosure of its 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic mine, and have been multiplied by a factor of two to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic mine.

(4) Numbers may not add up due to rounding.

The following table sets forth the estimated "Mineral Resources" (as defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards) for the Canadian Malartic mine, the Odyssey Property, the East Malartic property and the East Gouldie property operated by Canadian Malartic GP, owned by Agnico (50%) and Yamana (50%), as of December 31, 2019 (figures below have been adjusted by Osisko to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic operation):

(1) The Mineral Resources have been calculated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101. The "Mineral Resources" are classified as "Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources", and are based on the CIM Definition Standards.

(2) Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources are not known with the same degree of certainty as Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

(3) Canadian Malartic GP, owned by Agnico (50%) and Yamana (50%), which owns and operates the Canadian Malartic mine. The reported resources for the Canadian Malartic Resources below the reserve pit are slightly different between the two issuers, the estimates reported by Agnico used here. The mine's December 2019 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources using the following assumptions: US$1,200 per ounce gold and an exchange rate of C$1.25 per US$1.00. At the Canadian Malartic mine, the mineral resources are estimated using 80% of the cut-off grades used to estimate the mineral reserves. The cut-off grade at Odyssey is 1.15 to 1.35 g/t gold (stope optimized). The cut-off grade at East Malartic is 1.30 to 1.60 g/t gold (stope optimized).

(4) The quantity and grade of reported "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of "Inferred Mineral Resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

(5) The numbers in the "Tonnes" column are based on Agnico's **** disclosure of its 50% interest in the Canadian Malartic mine, and have been multiplied by a factor of two to reflect 100% of the Canadian Malartic mine.

Update on Canadian Malartic

Agreement in Principle

On August 2, 2016, Canadian Malartic GP was served with a class action lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of Quebec, with respect to allegations involving the Canadian Malartic mine. The complaint is in respect of ''neighbourhood annoyances'' arising from dust, noise, vibrations and blasts at the mine. The plaintiffs are seeking damages in an unspecified amount as well as punitive damages in the amount of $20 million. The class action was certified in May 2017. In November 2017, a declaratory judgment was issued allowing Canadian Malartic GP to settle individually with class members for 2017 under its "Good Neighbor Guide". In September 2018, the Superior Court of Quebec introduced an annual revision of the ending date of the class action period and a mechanism for the partial exclusion of class members, allowing residents to individually settle for a specific period (usually a calendar year) and to opt-out from the class action for such specific period. Both of these judgments were confirmed by the Quebec Court of Appeal and the class members will thus continue to have the option to benefit from the "Good Neighbor Guide". In January 2018, a judgment was rendered in favor of Canadian Malartic GP, resulting in the removal from the class action of the pre-transaction period, spanning from August 2013 to June 16, 2014, during which the Canadian Malartic mine was not operated by Canadian Malartic GP. The plaintiff did not seek leave to appeal this decision and rather added new allegations in an attempt to recapture the pre-transaction period. On July 19, 2019, the Court refused to add back the pre-transaction period based on these new allegations. An application for leave to appeal was filed by the plaintiff.

On August 15, 2016, Canadian Malartic GP received notice of an application for injunction relating to the Canadian Malartic mine, which has been filed under the Environment Quality Act (Québec). The hearing related to the injunction took place in March 2017. A decision of the Superior Court of Quebec dismissed the injunction.

On June 1, 2017, Canadian Malartic GP was served with an application for judicial review to obtain the annulment of a governmental decree. Canadian Malartic GP is an impleaded party in the proceedings. The applicant seeks to obtain the annulment of a decree authorizing the expansion of the Canadian Malartic mine. Following a hearing on the merits in October 2018, the Superior Court dismissed the judicial review on May 13, 2019 and an application for leave to appeal was filed by the plaintiff on June 20, 2019 and allowed on September 19, 2019.

On October 15, 2019, an agreement in principle was announced by the parties with respect to the class action, the permanent injunction and the judicial review proceedings. Conditional to the approval of the court, this agreement in principle includes: (a) the reopening of the 2013 to 2018 compensation periods of the Guide for the benefit of the residents who did not individually settle for these periods under the Guide; (b) the implementation of a new C$1.5 to C$1.7 million renovation program for the benefit of property owners in the South sector, whether they are class members or not; (c) the full and final release of the Partnership for the class action period; (d) the current compensations under the Guide as a threshold for the three upcoming compensation years (2019 to 2021); and (e) the plaintiff's withdrawal from the injunction and the judicial review proceedings. The settlement was approved by the Superior Court on December 13, 2019.

As part of ongoing stakeholder engagement, Canadian Malartic GP is in discussions with four First Nations groups concerning a potential collaboration agreement, which will include a financial component. As with the Good Neighbour Guide and other community relations efforts at Canadian Malartic, Canadian Malartic GP is working collaboratively with stakeholders to establish cooperative relationships that support the long-term potential of the mine.

First Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.7 Million Ounces of Gold at East Gouldie Zone (100% basis); Inferred Mineral Resource Almost Doubles at East Malartic

The Canadian Malartic property, together with the Rand Malartic and Midway properties, cover in excess of 25 kilometres along the Cadillac-Larder Lake deformation zone.

Deep drilling east of the open pit in late 2018 resulted in the discovery of a new gold- mineralized zone, located south of the East Malartic and Odyssey zones, named the East Gouldie Zone. The East Gouldie Zone has a strike length of 1,300 metres in an east-west direction, dips 60 degrees north, and extends from 700 metres to 1,900 metres depth below surface. East Gouldie is a silicified and carbonatized mineralized zone with fine disseminated pyrite developed in sheared greywacke units.

Five drill rigs completed 15,339 metres of exploration drilling in the fourth quarter of 2019, aiming to reduce drill spacing in the central portion of the East Gouldie Zone (from 1,000 metres to 1,800 metres depth). There was a total of 82,379 metres drilled in 2019. This drilling allowed for the estimation of initial inferred mineral resources at East Gouldie of 2.8 million ounces of gold (25.5 million tonnes grading 3.34 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2019.

Recent drill results from the East Gouldie Zone continue to be positive and consistent. In the centre of the zone within the inferred mineral resource, the highest grade intercept was in hole MEX19-158A, which intersected 8.6 g/t gold over 25.8 metres at 1,071 metres depth plus 3.9 g/t gold over 6.9 metres at 1,084 metres depth. Other notable intercepts in the central part of the zone include hole MEX19-152W, which intersected 6.7 g/t gold over 10.9 metres at 1,153 metres depth and hole MEX19-157, which intersected 4.6 g/t gold over 7.0 metres at 1,241 metres depth.

Close to the western margin of the zone at depth, hole MEX19-156 intersected 3.2 g/t gold over 49.6 metres at 1,524 metres depth and hole MEX19-153 intersected 3.1 g/t gold over 29.3 metres at 1,551 metres depth. To the east at this depth, within the inferred mineral resource, hole MEX19-135W intersected 4.2 g/t gold over 39.3 metres at 1,631 metres depth and hole MEX19-161 intersected 5.5 g/t gold over 17.3 metres at 1,546 metres depth.

In 2020 at East Gouldie, the aim of the drill program is to support the declaration of new inferred mineral resources at the zone and infill the current inferred mineral resources in the zone to convert them into indicated mineral resources by year-end 2020.

At the Odyssey project, Canadian Malartic GP is evaluating the underground potential of several other gold deposits close to the Canadian Malartic/Barnat open pit. These include the East Malartic, Sladen, South Sladen, Sheehan, Odyssey North and Odyssey South zones, located under and immediately east of the pit, extending approximately 2.5 kilometres to the east.

At East Malartic, the inclusion of deeper mineral resources (between 1,000 metres and 1,800 metres depth) has increased inferred mineral resources by 85% or 2.4 million ounces of gold, bringing total inferred mineral resources at East Malartic to 5.2 million ounces of gold (78.8 million tonnes grading 2.05 g/t gold). In addition, East Malartic has indicated mineral resources of 694,000 ounces of gold (9.9 million tonnes grading 2.18 g/t gold), as of December 31, 2019.

Mineral resources at the nearby Odyssey deposit were basically unchanged, with indicated mineral resources of 68,000 ounces of gold (2 million tonnes grading 2.10 g/t gold) and inferred mineral resources of 1,600,000 ounces of gold (22.4 million tonnes grading 2.22 g/t gold) as of December 31, 2019.

An internal study is progressing at the Odyssey project, with consideration being given to potential new development synergies between the various zones at East Gouldie, East Malartic, Odyssey and Canadian Malartic. Subject to a positive development decision, initial production could potentially start in 2023. Canadian Malartic GP is evaluating scenarios to optimize the project, which include discussions with royalty holders and other stakeholders to enhance the economics of the project.

Canadian Malartic GP has budgeted $25 million for 112,000 metres of exploration and conversion drilling and studies at the Canadian Malartic properties in 2020, with the East Gouldie Zone being the highest exploration priority.

The increases in mineral resources, particularly at the East Gouldie and East Malartic zones, are anticipated to eventually replace mineral reserves currently being mined at the adjacent Canadian Malartic pit.

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, because it was acquired by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2019. We have also excluded Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 9.9% and 0%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Assessment of impairment indicators of royalty, stream and other interests

As described in Notes 4, 6 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s royalty, stream and other interests carrying amount was $1,130.5 million as of December 31, 2019. Management assesses at each reporting date whether there are indicators that the carrying amount may not be recoverable which give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test. Impairment is assessed at the cash- generating unit (CGU) level, which is usually at the individual royalty, stream and other interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated. Management uses judgement when assessing whether there are indicators of impairment, including a significant reduction in mineral reserve and resources, significant negative industry or economic trends, significantly lower production than expected, a significant drop in current or forecast commodity prices and other relevant operator and financial information.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the assessment of impairment indicators of royalty, stream and other interests is a critical audit matter are (i) there was judgement by management when assessing whether there were indicators of impairment which would require a formal impairment test to be performed; which in turn led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate audit evidence relating to management’s assessment of impairment indicators, including a significant reduction in mineral reserve and resources, significant negative industry or economic trends, significantly lower production than expected, a significant drop in current or forecast commodity prices and other relevant operator and financial information.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s assessment of impairment indicators of royalty, stream and other interests. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assessment of impairment indicators for a sample of royalty, stream and other interests, including a significant reduction in mineral reserve and resources, significant negative industry or economic trends, significantly lower production than expected, a significant drop in current or forecast commodity prices and other relevant operator and financial information by considering (i) the current and past performance of royalty, stream and other interests; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; (iii) the publicly disclosed information by operators of royalty, stream and other interests; and (iv) whether management’s assessment of impairment indicators of royalty, stream and other interests was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Impairment of royalty, stream and other interests – Renard diamond stream

As described in Notes 4, 6 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s royalty, stream and other interests carrying amount was $1,130.5 million as of December 31, 2019. In March 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine announced a significant impairment charge on its Renard diamond mine reflecting an outlook of lower than expected diamond pricing. Further, in September 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine announced that it had applied to the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) for protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. These were considered indicators of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed two impairment tests of the Renard diamond stream during 2019. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the

CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. On September 30, 2019, the Company wrote down the Renard diamond stream to its recoverable amount of $70.2 million which resulted in a cumulative impairment charge of $86.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. For each impairment test, management estimated the recoverable amount as fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. Management used significant judgement and assumptions when estimating cash flow projections for the Renard diamond stream, including expected sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices and discount rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of the Company’s Renard diamond stream is a critical audit matter are (i) there was significant judgement by management when developing the recoverable amount estimates of the Renard diamond stream; which in turn led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonability of management’s cash flow projections for the Renard diamond stream and significant assumptions, including expected sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices and discount rates. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s recoverable amount estimates of the Company’s Renard diamond stream, including controls over the significant assumptions used in the recoverable amount estimates. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the recoverable amount estimates of the Renard diamond stream; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow models; testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the models; and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to expected sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices involved considering the current and past performance of the Renard diamond mine, consistency with external market and industry data, information provided by the operator of the Renard diamond mine, whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and by performing sensitivity analyses. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow models and certain significant assumptions, such as the discount rates.

Impairment of royalty, stream and other interests – Amulsar stream and offtake

As described in Notes 4, 6 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s royalty, stream and other interests carrying amount was $1,130.5 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company wrote down the Amulsar stream and offtake to its recoverable amount of $29.0 million which resulted in a cumulative impairment charge of $79.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In September 2019, the operator of the Amulsar mine announced a delay in the timing of the construction activities, expected first gold pour and ramp up to full production as a result of the 15-month blockade on construction as well as changes to the expected life of mine and annual production for the Amulsar project. Further, in December 2019, the operator of the Amulsar mine announced that it had applied to the

Ontario Superior Court of Justice for protection under the CCAA in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. These were considered indicators of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed two impairment tests of the Amulsar stream and offtake during 2019. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For each impairment test, management estimated the recoverable amount as fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. Management used significant judgement and assumptions when estimating cash flow projections for the Amulsar stream and offtake, including expected sale of gold and silver from the Amulsar stream and offtake over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices and discount rates, and in addition for the second impairment test, management used significant assumptions with respect to the potential amendment of the Amulsar stream agreement resulting from probability weighted exit scenarios from the CCAA process.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of the Company’s Amulsar stream and offtake is a critical audit matter are (i) there was significant judgement by management, including the use of specialists, when developing the recoverable amount estimates of the Amulsar stream and offtake; which in turn led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonability of management’s cash flow projections for the Amulsar stream and offtake and significant assumptions, including expected sale of gold and silver from the Amulsar stream and offtake over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices, discount rates, and the potential amendment of the Amulsar stream agreement resulting from probability weighted exit scenarios from the CCAA process. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the recoverable amount estimates of the Amulsar stream and offtake; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow models; testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the models; and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management. The work of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimated life of the Amulsar mine. As a basis for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications and objectivity were understood, as well as their methods and assumptions. The procedures performed also included an evaluation of their conclusions. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the expected sale of gold and silver from the Amulsar stream and offtake over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices involved considering the recent developments related to the construction of the Amulsar mine, consistency with external market and industry data, information provided by the operator of the Amulsar mine, whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and by performing sensitivity analyses. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumption used by management related to the potential amendment of the Amulsar stream agreement resulting from probability weighted exit scenarios from the CCAA process involved reviewing correspondence between

the Company and the operator advisor. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow models and certain significant assumptions, such as the discount rates.

Impairment of royalty, stream and other interests – Éléonore net smelter return (NSR) royalty

As described in Notes 4, 6 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s royalty, stream and other interests carrying amount was $1,130.5 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company wrote down the Éléonore NSR royalty to its recoverable amount of $101.3 million which resulted in an impairment charge of $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In February 2020, the operator of the Éléonore gold mine announced that it has updated its mineral reserves and resources estimate for the Éléonore mine as of December 31, 2019. As a result of the update, mineral reserves and resources decreased by 50%. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment test of the Éléonore NSR royalty. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the impairment test, management estimated the recoverable amount as fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. Management used significant judgement and assumptions when estimating cash flow projections for the Éléonore NSR royalty, including expected sale of gold received from the Éléonore NSR royalty, based on the long-term annual gold production over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, expected long-term gold price, mineral reserves and resources and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of the Company’s Éléonore NSR royalty is a critical audit matter are (i) there was significant judgement by management, including the use of specialists, when developing the recoverable amount estimate of the Éléonore NSR royalty; which in turn led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonability of management’s cash flow projections for the Éléonore NSR royalty and significant assumptions, including expected sale of gold received from the Éléonore NSR royalty, based on the long-term annual gold production over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, expected long-term gold price, mineral reserves and resources and the discount rate. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

As a basis for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications and objectivity were understood, as well as their methods and assumptions. The procedures performed also included an evaluation of their conclusions. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the expected sale of gold received from the

Éléonore NSR royalty, based on the long-term annual gold production over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, expected long-term gold price and mineral reserves and resources involved considering the current and past performance of the Éléonore mine, consistency with external market and industry data, information provided by the operator of the Éléonore mine, whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit and by performing sensitivity analyses. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and certain significant assumptions, such as the discount rate.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets – Coulon zinc project

As described in Notes 4, 6 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets carrying amount was $42.9 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company wrote down the exploration and evaluation asset related to the Coulon zinc project (Coulon zinc project) to its recoverable amount of $10.0 million which resulted in an impairment charge of $50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In 2019, management determined that further exploration and evaluation expenditures are no longer planned in the near term and that the carrying amount of the asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from a sale of the project at the current time. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment test of the Coulon zinc project. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Management used judgement and assumptions when estimating the recoverable amount as fair value less cost of disposal using a market approach, based on a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of the Company’s Coulon zinc project is a critical audit matter are (i) there was judgement by management when developing the recoverable amount estimate of the Coulon zinc project; which in turn led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonability of management’s recoverable amount estimate for the Coulon zinc project and assumptions, including a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s recoverable amount estimate of the Company’s Coulon zinc project, including controls over the assumptions used in the recoverable amount estimate. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the recoverable amount estimate of the Coulon zinc project; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the market approach; and evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions used by management, including a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions used by management related to the dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized by comparing this value to external market and industry data for comparable sales transactions realized.

1. Nature of activities

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries (together "Osisko" or the "Company") are engaged in the business of acquiring and managing precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests in Canada and worldwide. Osisko is a public company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange constituted under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) and is domiciled in the Province of Québec, Canada. The address of its registered office is 1100, avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec.

The Company owns a portfolio of royalties, streams, offtakes, options on royalty/stream financings and exclusive rights to participate in future royalty/stream financings on various projects mainly in Canada. The cornerstone asset is a 5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, located in Canada. In addition, the Company owns the Cariboo gold project in Canada and invests in equities of exploration and development companies.

2. Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new accounting standards as further described in Note 3.

The Board of Directors approved the audited consolidated financial statements for issue on February 19, 2020.

3. New accounting standards

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations

On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the guidance in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Under the amendments, the definition of a business is amended and requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term "outputs" is also amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. IFRS 3 also introduces an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments, which were effective at the latest for acquisitions completed by the Company after January 1, 2020, were early adopted on January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, which is the customer ("lessee") and the supplier ("lessor"). IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and incurring a financing obligation corresponding to the lease payments to be made over time. Accordingly, for lessees, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as was required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model.

Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:

i) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and

ii) amortization of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of loss.

Management has reviewed all of the Company's leasing arrangements in light of the requirements of IFRS 16. The standard affects primarily the accounting for the Company's operating leases.

The Company applied the simplified transition approach and, consequently, did not restate comparative figures for 2018. Right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for non-cancellable operating lease commitments that amounted to $13.0 million.

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

3. New accounting standards (continued)

IFRS 16 Leases (continued)

The Company applies the exceptions for short-term leases and, as such, short-term leases for which commitments amounted to approximately $0.6 million as at December 31, 2018 continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of loss.

Right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on transition as if the new standard had been applied since the respective leases' commencement date but using the Company's incremental borrowing rate of 4.79% as at January 1, 2019.

The Company recognized right-of-use assets of $9.4 million on January 1, 2019 (presented under mining interests and plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet), lease liabilities of $10.0 million and deferred tax assets of $0.1 million. Overall, net assets were approximately $0.4 million lower, and net current assets were $0.7 million lower due to the presentation of a portion of the lease liability as a current liability. Since January 1, 2019, payments attributed to the principal portion of the lease liabilities are classified as cash flows from financing activities.

The Company's activities as a lessor are not material.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. IFRIC 23 explains how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. In particular, it discusses how to determine the appropriate unit of account, and that each uncertain tax treatment should be considered separately or together as a group, depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, that the entity should assume a tax authority will examine the uncertain tax treatments and have full knowledge of all related information, ie that detection risk should be ignored, that the entity should reflect the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax accounting when it is not probable that the tax authorities will accept the treatment, that the impact of the uncertainty should be measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value method, depending on which method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, and that the judgements and estimates made must be reassessed whenever circumstances have changed or there is new information that affects the judgements. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

4. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are described below.

a) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets at fair value (including derivative instruments).

b) Business combinations

On the acquisition of a business, the acquisition method of accounting is used whereby the purchase consideration is allocated to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities (identifiable net assets) of the business on the basis of the fair value at the date of acquisition. Provisional fair values allocated at a reporting date are finalized as soon as the relevant information is available, which period shall not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date and are adjusted to reflect the transaction as of the acquisition date. Any excess is treated as goodwill, and any discount is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. If control is obtained or lost as a result of a transaction, the identifiable net assets retained are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and the difference between the fair value recognized and the carrying value as at the date of the transaction is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

b) Business Combinations (continued)

The results of businesses acquired during the period are consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences (generally at the closing date when the acquirer legally transfers the consideration).

c) Consolidation

The Company's financial statements consolidate the accounts of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise control. The Company controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Osisko and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.  Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by Osisko.

The principal subsidiaries of the Company, all of which are wholly-owned, and their geographic locations at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Entity Jurisdiction
Osisko Bermuda Limited Bermuda
Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.^(i)^ British Columbia
Coulon Mines Inc. Canada
General Partnership Osisko James Bay Québec
Osisko Mining (USA) Inc. Delaware

(i) From November 21, 2019 (Note 7).

d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity and associate of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the parent Company.

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the consolidated balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate over the reporting period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized as currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions, including revenues and expenses, are translated into the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of each transaction or valuation when items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the operation's functional currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from period-end translations are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

d) Foreign currency translation (continued)

(ii) Transactions and balances (continued)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates, unless such assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, in which case, they are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value attributable to currency fluctuations of non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Such changes in fair value of non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

e) Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is an unconditional and legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques.

Measurement after initial recognition depends on the classification of the financial instrument. The Company has classified its financial instruments in the following categories depending on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired and their characteristics.

(i) Financial assets

Debt instruments

Investments in debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost when the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and when the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Investments in debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value when they do not qualify for measurement at amortized cost. Financial instruments subsequently measured at fair value, including derivatives that are assets, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income or loss unless they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or sell the assets and when the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, in which case unrealized gains and losses are initially recognized in other comprehensive income or loss for subsequent reclassification to net income or loss through amortization of premiums and discounts, impairment or derecognition.

Equity instruments

Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with changes recorded in net income or loss. Equity instruments that are not held for trading can be irrevocably designated at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss on initial recognition without subsequent reclassification to net income. Cumulative gains and losses are transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings upon derecognition of the investment. Dividend income on equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in the statement of loss on the ex-dividend date.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

e) Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value.

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Category Financial instrument
Financial assets at amortized cost Bank balances and cash on hand
Short-term debt securities
Notes and loans receivable
Trade receivables
Interest and dividend income receivable
Amounts receivable from associates and other receivables
Reclamation deposits (term deposits)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Investments in derivatives and convertible debentures
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss Investments in shares and equity instruments, other than in derivatives
Financial liabilities at amortized cost Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Liability component of convertible debentures
Borrowings under revolving credit facilities

Derivatives

Derivatives, other than warrants held in mining exploration and development companies, are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

f) Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk or if a simplified approach has been selected.

The Company has two principal types of financial assets subject to the expected credit loss model:

  • Trade receivables; and
  • Investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

f) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Amounts receivable

The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 for trade receivables (including amounts receivable from associates and other receivables), which requires lifetime expected credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Investments in debt instruments

To the extent that a debt instrument at amortized cost is considered to have low credit risk, which corresponds to a credit rating within the investment grade category and the credit risk has not increased significantly, the loss allowance is determined on the basis of 12-month expected credit losses. If the credit risk has increased significantly, the lifetime expected credit losses are recognized.

g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and deposits held with banks. Cash equivalents include other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less or that can be redeemed at any time without penalties.

h) Refundable tax credits for mining exploration expenses

The Company is entitled to refundable tax credits on qualified mining exploration and evaluation expenses incurred in the province of Québec. The credits are accounted for against the exploration and evaluation expenses incurred.

i) Inventories

Inventories are mainly comprised of gold and silver bullions and diamonds in saleable form that have not yet been sold. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

j) Investments in associates

Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control. The financial results of the Company's investments in its associates are included in the Company's results according to the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of profits or losses of associates after the date of acquisition. The Company's share of profits or losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and its share of other comprehensive income or loss of associates is included in other comprehensive income or loss.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Dilution gains and losses arising from changes in interests in investments in associates are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss.

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that its investments in associates are impaired. If impaired, the carrying value of the Company's share of the underlying assets of associates is written down to its estimated recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use) and charged to the consolidated statement of loss.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

k) Royalty, stream and other interests

Royalty, stream and other interests consist of acquired royalty, stream and other interests in producing, development and exploration and evaluation stage properties. Royalty, stream and other interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The major categories of the Company's interests are producing, development and exploration and evaluation. Producing assets are those that have generated revenue from steady-state operations for the Company. Development assets are interests in projects that are under development, in permitting or feasibility stage and that in management's view, can be reasonably expected to generate steady-state revenue for the Company in the near future. Exploration and evaluation assets represent properties that are not yet in development, permitting or feasibility stage or that are speculative in nature and are expected to require several years to generate revenue, if ever, or are currently not active.

Producing and development royalty, stream and other interests are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Producing royalty, stream and other interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the life of the property to which the interest relates, which is estimated using available estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves specifically associated with the properties and may include a portion of resources expected to be converted into mineral reserves. Management relies on information available to it under contracts with the operators and / or public disclosures for information on proven and probable mineral reserves and resources from the operators of the producing royalty, stream and other interests.

On acquisition of a producing or a development royalty, stream and other interest, an allocation of the acquisition cost is made for the exploration potential based on its fair value. The estimated fair value of this acquired exploration potential is recorded as an asset (non-depreciable interest) on the acquisition date. Updated mineral reserve and resource information obtained from the operators of the properties is used to determine the amount to be converted from non-depreciable interest to depreciable interest.

Royalty, stream and other interests for exploration and evaluation assets are recorded at cost and capitalized in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Acquisition costs of exploration and evaluation royalty, stream and other interests are capitalized and are not depleted until such time as revenue-generating activities begin.

Producing and development royalty, stream and other interests are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is assessed at the level of Cash-Generating Units (''CGU'') which, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, are identified as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. This is usually at the individual royalty, stream and other interest level for each property from which cash inflows are generated.

Royalty, stream and other interests for exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist in accordance with IFRS 6. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. An interest that has previously been classified as exploration and evaluation is also assessed for impairment before reclassification to development or producing, and the impairment loss, if any, is recognized in net income.

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

l) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of a replaced asset is derecognized when replaced.

Depreciation is calculated to amortize the cost of the property and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and following periods by major categories:

Leasehold improvements Lease term

Furniture and office equipment 3-5 years

Exploration equipment and facilities 3-20 years

Mining plant and equipment (development) 5-20 years

Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included as part of other gains (losses), net in the consolidated statement of loss.

m) Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation assets are comprised of exploration and evaluation expenditures and mining properties acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets. Expenditures incurred on activities that precede exploration and evaluation, being all expenditures incurred prior to securing the legal rights to explore an area, are expensed immediately. Exploration and evaluation assets include rights in mining properties, paid or acquired through a business combination or an acquisition of assets, and costs related to the initial search for mineral deposits with economic potential or to obtain more information about existing mineral deposits. Mining rights are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses. Mining rights and options to acquire undivided interests in mining rights are depreciated only as these properties are put into commercial production.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures for each separate area of interest are capitalized and include costs associated with prospecting, sampling, trenching, drilling and other work involved in searching for ore like topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies. They also reflect costs related to establishing the technical and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource identified through exploration and evaluation or acquired through a business combination or asset acquisition.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the cost of:

(i) establishing the volume and grade of deposits through drilling of core samples, trenching and sampling activities;

(ii) determining the optimal methods of extraction and metallurgical and treatment processes;

(iii) studies related to surveying, transportation and infrastructure requirements;

(iv) permitting activities; and

(v) economic evaluations to determine whether development of the mineralized material is commercially justified, including scoping, prefeasibility and final feasibility studies.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include overhead expenses directly attributable to the related activities.

Cash flows attributable to capitalized exploration and evaluation costs are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows under the heading exploration and evaluation.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

m) Exploration and evaluation expenditures (continued)

Exploration and evaluation assets under a farm-out arrangement (where a farmee incurs certain expenditures in a property to earn an interest in that property) are accounted as follows:

(i) the Company uses the carrying value of the interest before the farm-out arrangement as the carrying value for the portion of the interest retained;

(ii) the Company credits any cash consideration received against the carrying amount of the portion of the interest retained, with an excess included as a gain in profit or loss;

(iii) in the situation where a royalty interest is retained by the Company as a result of an interest earned by the farmee, the Company records the royalty interest received at an amount corresponding to the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation property at the time of the transfer in ownership; and

(iv) the Company does not record exploration expenditures made by the farmee on the property.

n) Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized in a business combination if the cost of the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is then allocated to the CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Company performs goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis as at December 31 of each year. In addition, the Company assesses for indicators of impairment at each reporting date and, if an indicator of impairment is identified, goodwill is tested for impairment at that time. If the carrying value of the CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill is assigned exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed.

The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is measured as the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal.

o) Provision for environmental rehabilitation

Provision for environmental rehabilitation, restructuring costs and legal claims, where applicable, is recognized when:

(i) The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events.

(ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.

(iii) The amount can be reliably estimated.

The provision is measured at management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as finance costs. Changes in assumptions or estimates are reflected in the period in which they occur.

Provision for environmental rehabilitation represents the legal and constructive obligations associated with the eventual closure of the Company's property, plant and equipment. These obligations consist of costs associated with reclamation and monitoring of activities and the removal of tangible assets. The discount rate used is based on a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation, excluding the risks for which future cash flow estimates have already been adjusted.

Reclamation deposits

Reclamation deposits are term deposits held on behalf of the Government of the Province of British Columbia as collateral for possible rehabilitation activities on the Company's mineral properties in connection with permits required for exploration activities. Reclamation deposits are released once the property is restored to satisfactory condition, or as released under the surety bond agreement. As they are restricted from general use, they are included under non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

p) Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income taxes

The current income tax charge is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates (and laws) that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current and are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

q) Convertible debentures

The liability and equity components of convertible debentures are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet starting from initial recognition.

The liability component is recognized initially at the fair value, by discounting the stream of future payments of interest and principal at the prevailing market rate for a similar liability of comparable credit status and providing substantially the same cash flows that do not have an associated conversion option. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method; the liability component is increased by accretion of the discounted amounts to reach the nominal value of the debentures at maturity.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

q) Convertible debentures (continued)

The carrying amount of the equity component is calculated by deducting the carrying amount of the financial liability from the amount of the debentures and is presented in shareholders' equity as equity component of convertible debenture. The equity component is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry. A deferred tax liability is recognized with respect to any temporary difference that arises from the initial recognition of the equity component separately from the liability component. The deferred tax is charged directly to the carrying amount of the equity component.  Subsequent changes in the deferred tax liability are recognized through the consolidated statement of loss.

Transaction costs are distributed between liability and equity on a pro-rata basis of their carrying amounts.

r) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from the proceeds in equity in the period where the transaction occurs.

s) Warrants

Warrants are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of warrants are recognized as a deduction from the proceeds in equity in the period where the transaction occurs.

t) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises revenues from the sale of commodities received and revenues directly earned from royalty, stream and other interests.

For royalty and stream agreements paid in-kind and for offtake agreements, the Company's performance obligations relate primarily to the delivery of gold, silver or other products to the customers. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customers, which is achieved when a product is delivered, the customer has full discretion over the product and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Control over the refined gold, silver and other products is transferred to the customers when the relevant product received (or purchased) from the operator is physically delivered and sold by the Company (or its agent) to the third party customers. For royalty and stream agreements paid in cash, revenue recognition will depend on the related agreement.

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable when management can reliably estimate the amount, pursuant to the terms of the royalty, stream and other interest agreements. In some instances, the Company will not have access to sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of revenue and, accordingly, revenue recognition is deferred until management can make a reasonable estimate. Differences between estimates and actual amounts are adjusted and recorded in the period that the actual amounts are known.

u) Leases

The Company is committed to long-term lease agreements, mainly for office space. Until December 31 2018, payments made under operating lease agreements were recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Operating leases were leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership was retained by the lessor.

From January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset (presented under non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheet) and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

4. Significant accounting policies (continued)

u) Leases (continued)

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Payments associated with short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

v) Share-based compensation

Share option plan

The Company offers a share option plan for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. Fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche's vesting period by increasing contributed surplus based on the number of awards expected to vest. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed at least annually, with any impact being recognized immediately.

Any consideration paid on exercise of share options is credited to share capital. The contributed surplus resulting from share-based compensation is transferred to share capital when the options are exercised.

Deferred and restricted share units

Deferred share units ("DSU") may be granted to directors and restricted share units ("RSU") may be granted to employees, directors and officers as part of their long-term compensation package, entitling them to receive a payment in the form of common shares, cash (based on the Company's share price at the relevant time) or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company. The fair value of the DSU and RSU to be settled in common shares is measured on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period under contributed surplus with a corresponding charge to share-based compensation. A liability for the DSU and RSU to be settled in cash is measured at fair value on the grant date and is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date for changes in fair value. The liability is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding charge to share-based compensation.

w) Earnings per share

The calculation of earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period. The basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity owners of Osisko by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on the income per share. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the warrants, share options, DSU and RSU and the if-converted method is used for convertible debentures. When the Company reports a loss, the diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants, share options, DSU and RSU and convertible debentures.

x) Segment reporting

The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") who fulfills the role of the chief operating decision-maker. The CEO is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company's operating segments. Following the acquisition of Barkerville (Note 7) in November 2019, the Company manages its business under two operating segments: (i) acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests, and (ii) the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects. Prior to the acquisition of Barkerville, the Company had only one operating segment, which was acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests. The comparative figures have been restated to conform to the current segments.

5. Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The Company has not yet adopted certain standards, interpretations to existing standards and amendments which have been issued but have an effective date of later than December 31, 2019.  Many of these updates are not expected to have any significant impact on the Company and are therefore not discussed herein.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The IASB has made amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements which use a consistent definition of materiality throughout IFRS and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial information.  In particular, the amendments clarify that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. Materiality depends on the nature or magnitude of information, or both. An entity assesses whether information, either individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of its financial statements taken as a whole. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements disclosures.

6. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Mineral reserves and resources - Royalties, streams and other assets

Royalty, stream and other interests comprise a large component of the Company's assets and as such, the mineral reserves and resources of the properties to which the interests relate have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. These estimates are applied in determining the depletion of the Company's royalty, stream and other interests and assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty, stream and other interests. For royalty, stream and other interests, the public disclosures of mineral reserves and resources that are released by the operators of the properties involve assessments of geological and geophysical studies and economic data and the reliance on a number of assumptions, including commodity prices and production costs. These assumptions are, by their very nature, subject to interpretation and uncertainty. The estimates of mineral reserves and resources may change based on additional knowledge gained subsequent to the initial assessment, adjusted by the Company's internal geological specialists, as deemed necessary. Changes in the estimates of mineral reserves and resources may materially affect the recorded amounts of depletion and the assessed recoverability of the carrying value of royalty, stream and other interests.

Mineral reserves and resources - Exploration and development projects

Mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Company's mining properties. The Company estimates its mineral reserve and mineral resources based on information compiled by Qualified Persons as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure of Mineral Projects. Such information includes geological data on the size, depth and shape of the mineral deposit, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade that comprise the mineral reserves. Changes in the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates may impact the carrying value of mineral properties and deferred development costs, property, plant and equipment, provision for site reclamation and closure, recognition of deferred income tax assets and depreciation and amortization charges.

6. Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of royalty, stream and other interests

The assessment of the fair values of royalty, stream and other interests requires the use of estimates and assumptions for recoverable production, long-term commodity prices, discount rates, mineral reserve/resource conversion, net asset value multiples, foreign exchange rates, future capital expansion plans and the associated production implications. In addition, the Company may use other approaches in determining fair value which may include estimates related to (i) dollar value per ounce of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) cash-flow multiples; and (iii) market capitalization of comparable assets. Changes in any of the estimates used in determining the fair value of the royalty, stream and other interests could impact the impairment analysis.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets, mining interests and plant and equipment

The Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in certain items of expenditure being capitalized. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalized the expenditure, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalized amount will be written off to the consolidated statement of loss.

Development activities commence after project sanctioning by senior management. Judgement is applied by management in determining when a project has reached a stage at which economically recoverable reserves exist such that development may be sanctioned. In exercising this judgement, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions similar to those described above for capitalized exploration and evaluation expenditure. Such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having started the development activity, a judgement is made that a development asset is impaired, the appropriate amount will be written off to the consolidated statement of loss.

The Company's recoverability of its recorded value of its exploration and evaluation assets, mining interests and plant and equipment is based on market conditions for metals, underlying mineral resources associated with the properties and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates each mining property and project on results to date to determine the nature of exploration, other assessment and development work that is warranted in the future. If there is little prospect of future work on a property or project being carried out within a prolonged period from completion of previous activities, the deferred expenditures related to that property or project are written off or written down to the estimated amount recoverable unless there is persuasive evidence that an impairment allowance is not required.

The recoverable amounts of exploration and evaluation assets, mining interests and plant and equipment are determined using the higher of value in use or fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use consists of the net present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset in its current condition based on observable data. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management. These cash flow projections are based on expected recoverable ore reserves, selling prices of metals and operating costs. Fair value less costs of disposal consists of the expected sale price (the amount that a market participant would pay for the asset) of the asset net of transaction costs. The Company may use other approaches in determining the fair value which may include estimates related to (i) dollar value per ounce of mineral reserve/resource; (ii) cash-flow multiples; (iii) market capitalization of comparable assets; and (iv) comparable sales transactions. Any changes in the quality and quantity of recoverable ore reserves, expected selling prices and operating costs could materially affect the estimated fair value of mining interests, which could result in material write-downs or write-offs in the future.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of goodwill

The Company performs goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis as at December 31 of each year. In addition, the Company assesses for indicators of impairment at each reporting period date and, if an indicator of impairment is identified, goodwill is tested for impairment at that time. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each CGU or group of CGUs expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. When completing an impairment test, the Company calculates the estimated recoverable amount of CGU or group of CGUs, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to items such as future production levels, long-term commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, discount rates and exploration potential.

These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty. Therefore, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will have an impact on these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs. Accordingly, it is possible that some or the entire carrying amount of the goodwill may be further impaired with the impact recognized in the consolidated statement of loss.

The Company performs annual impairment tests using the fair value less cost of disposal of the group of CGUs supporting the goodwill and using discounted cash flows with the most recent budgets and forecasts available, including information from external sources. The periods to be used for the projections are based on the expected production from the mines, the proven and probable mineral reserves and a portion of the resources. The discount rate to be used takes into consideration the different risk factors of the Company.

Provision for environmental rehabilitation

Provision for environmental rehabilitation is based on management best estimates and assumptions, which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability, based on the current economic environment. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of discount rate, contamination, rehabilitation standards and techniques will result in changes to the provision from period to period. Actual reclamation and closure costs will ultimately depend on future market prices for the costs which will reflect the market condition at the time the costs are actually incurred. The final cost of the rehabilitation provision may be higher or lower than currently provided for.

Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies

Business combinations

The assessment of whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business, or whether assets are acquired is an area of key judgement. The assumptions and estimates with respect to determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and of royalty, stream and other interests and exploration and evaluation properties in particular, generally requires a high degree of judgement. Changes in the judgements made could impact the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities.

Investee - significant influence

The assessment of whether the Company has a significant influence over an investee requires the use of judgements when assessing factors that could give rise to a significant influence. Factors which could lead to the conclusion of having a significant influence over an investee include, but are not limited to, ownership percentage; representation on the board of directors; participation in the policy-making process; material transactions between the investor and the investee; interchange of managerial personnel; provision of essential technical information; and potential voting rights.

Changes in the judgements used in determining if the Company has a significant influence over an investee would impact the accounting treatment of the investment in the investee.

6. Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of investments in associates

The Company follows the guidance of IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to assess whether there are impairment indicators which may lead to the recognition of an impairment loss with respect to its net investment in an associate. This determination requires significant judgement in evaluating if a decline in fair value is significant or prolonged, which triggers a formal impairment test. In making this judgement, the Company's management evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the volatility of the investment and the financial health and business outlook for the investee, including factors such as the current and expected status of the investee's exploration projects and changes in financing cash flows.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and royalty, stream and other interests on exploration and evaluation properties

Assessment of impairment of exploration and evaluation assets (including exploration and evaluation assets under a farm-out agreement) and royalty, stream and other interests on exploration and evaluation properties requires the use of judgements when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test on the Company's exploration and evaluation assets and royalty, stream and other interests on exploration and evaluation properties. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, an expiry of the right to explore in the specific area during the period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed; substantive exploration and evaluation expenditures in a specific area, taking into consideration such expenditures to be incurred by a farmee, is neither budgeted nor planned; exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in a specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Company has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the assets is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale; significant negative industry or economic trends; interruptions in exploration and evaluation activities by the Company or its farmee; and a significant drop in current or forecast commodity prices.

Changes in the judgements used in determining the fair value of the exploration and evaluation assets and royalty, stream and other interests on exploration and evaluation properties could impact the impairment analysis.

Impairment of development and producing royalty, stream and other interests and goodwill

Assessment of impairment of development and producing royalty, stream and other interests and goodwill requires the use of judgement when assessing whether there are any indicators that could give rise to the requirement to conduct a formal impairment test on the Company's development and producing royalty, stream and other interests or goodwill. Factors which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, a significant market value decline; net assets higher than the market capitalization; a significant reduction in mineral reserve and resources; significant negative industry or economic trends; interruptions in production activities; significantly lower production than expected; and a significant drop in current or forecast commodity prices.

Changes in the judgements used in determining the fair value of the producing royalty, stream and other interests or goodwill could impact the impairment analysis.

Deferred income tax assets

Management continually evaluates the likelihood that it is probable that its deferred tax assets will be realized. This requires management to assess whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will exist in the future to utilize these losses within the carry-forward period. By its nature, this assessment requires significant judgement.

7. Acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.

On November 21, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Barkerville that it did not already own at the date of the transaction. Barkerville is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on the development of its extensive land package located in the historical Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia, Canada.

For each common share of Barkerville, shareholders received 0.0357 common share of Osisko. All of Barkerville's outstanding common share options have been exchanged for common share options ("Barkerville replacement share options") of Osisko using the same share exchange ratio as for the common shares valued at $1.9 million using the Black-Sholes option pricing model.

A total of 13,560,832 Osisko common shares were issued and valued at $160.6 million, based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the transaction date. A total of 1,005,478 Barkerville replacement share options were issued and valued at $1.9 million, based on the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The fair value of the 10,000,000 Barkerville common share warrants already held by the Company and cancelled was estimated at $0.6 million, using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. Transaction costs amounted to $1.5 million and cash and cash equivalents acquired amounted to $8.3 million.

Prior to the acquisition date, Osisko held an initial investment of 183,625,585 common shares in Barkerville, which was considered as an investment in an associate, having a net book value of $101.4 million. On November 21, 2019, the date of acquisition of Barkerville, the fair value of the initial investment was $77.1 million and has been included as part of consideration for the transaction, resulting in a loss of $24.3 million recorded in the consolidated statements of loss under other (gains) losses, net. Osisko also held a 4% NSR royalty on the Cariboo gold project prior to the acquisition of Barkerville having a net book value of $56.1 million, which was transferred from royalty, stream and other interests to mining interests and plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets.

In accordance with the early adoption of the amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, the transaction has been recorded as an acquisition of assets as the acquired assets and assumed liabilities did not constitute a business. IFRS 3 proposes a screening test that determines that a set of activities and assets is not a business if substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

The total purchase price of $241.7 million was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the total consideration at the closing date of the transaction. All financial assets acquired and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value.

The purchase price was calculated as follows:

Consideration paid
Issuance of 13,560,832 common shares
Fair value of 183,625,585 Barkerville common shares already held
Fair value of 1,005,478 Barkerville replacement share options issued

(i) Refer to Note 7 for the 2019 loss on deemed disposals.

On September 7, 2018, Orion announced the completion of the acquisition and privatization of Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian"), an associate of Osisko, for cash consideration of $1.47 per common share. The common shares held by Osisko were not acquired in the transaction. Following the transaction, Osisko had a put right on its Dalradian shares, which was exercised in 2019 (Note 21), allowing Osisko to sell them at a price of $1.47 per share. Following the 2018 transaction, management had concluded that it had lost its significant influence over Dalradian and had transferred its investments from associates to other investments. This transfer from investments from associates to other investments resulted in a deemed disposal of the shares and the recognition of the difference between the carrying amount of the Dalradian investment under the equity method before the transaction and the fair value of the other investment after the transaction.

(ii) On September 30, 2019, the Company determined that its net investment in Falco was impaired. This determination was made considering, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the volatility of the share price and the business outlook for the investee, including factors such as the current and expected status of the investee's development projects. The net investment in Falco was written down to its estimated fair value and, therefore, an impairment charge of $12.5 million ($10.8 million, net of income taxes) was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

(iii) Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko Mining"), an associate of Osisko, held common shares of Barkerville prior to the acquisition (Note 7). Following the acquisition of Barkerville, Osisko Mining has received common shares of Osisko, which resulted in a deemed repurchase of common shares by the Company and a related reduction in the net investment in Osisko Mining, based on the 15.9% interest held in Osisko Mining.

Material investments

Osisko Mining Inc.

Osisko Mining is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on its Windfall Lake gold project. Osisko holds a 2.0% - 3.0% NSR royalty on the Windfall Lake gold project, for which a positive preliminary economic assessment was released in July 2019, and a 1% NSR royalty on other properties held by Osisko Mining.

Main acquisitions - 2019

Horne 5 property - silver stream (Falco Resources Ltd.)

In 2018, Osisko entered into a binding term sheet to provide Falco with a senior secured silver stream credit facility ("Falco Silver Stream") with reference to up to 100% of the future silver produced from the Horne 5 property located in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec. As part of the Falco Silver Stream, Osisko will make staged upfront cash deposits to Falco of up to $180.0 million and will make ongoing payments equal to 20% of the spot price of silver, to a maximum of US$6 per ounce. The Falco Silver Stream is secured by a first priority lien on the project and all assets of Falco. The Falco Silver Stream was closed in February 2019, which triggered the payment of the first installment of $25.0 million to Falco. Two previously outstanding notes receivable amounting to $20.0 million were applied against the first installment ($10.0 million was included under Short-term investment on the consolidated balance sheet and $10.0 million was under Royalty, stream and other interests as the note was convertible into a 1% NSR royalty at the sole discretion of Osisko) and the remaining balance of $5.0 million was paid to Falco.

Dublin Gulch property - NSR royalty (Victoria Gold Corp.)

In 2018, Osisko acquired from Victoria Gold Corp. ("Victoria"), an associate of the Company at the time, a 5% NSR royalty for $98.0 million on the Dublin Gulch property which hosts the Eagle Gold project located in Yukon, Canada. During the year ended December 31, 2018, payments totaling $78.4 million were made under the royalty agreement. The remaining balance of $19.6 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Mantos Blancos - silver stream (Mantos Copper S.A.)

In September 2019, Osisko invested an additional US$25.0 million ($33.4 million) on its existing silver stream with Mantos Copper S.A. with respect to 100% of the silver produced from the Mantos Blancos copper mine located in Chile. Under the terms of the stream amendments, the ongoing transfer price payment per ounce were reduced from 25% to 8% of the spot silver price on the date of delivery and the tail stream was increased from 30% to 40% of payable silver after 19.3 million ounces of refined silver have been delivered. In addition, Mantos Copper S.A.'s right to buy back 50% of the silver stream in September 2019 or 2020 has been terminated.

Main disposal - 2019

Brucejack offtake

In September 2019, Osisko Bermuda Limited ("OBL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Osisko, has entered into an agreement with Pretium Exploration Inc., a subsidiary of Pretium Resources Inc. in regards to the sale of OBL's interest in the Brucejack gold offtake contract for a cash purchase price of US$41.3 million ($54.7 million). An amount of US$31.2 million ($41.3 million) was paid on September 30, 2019 and the remaining US$10.1 million ($13.4 million) was paid on November 30, 2019. The disposal generated a gain of US$5.8 million ($7.6 million).

Update on the Renard mine diamond stream (Credit bid transaction for Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

On September 9, 2019, Osisko announced that it had entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with Stornoway Diamond Corporation ("Stornoway") and certain of its subsidiaries  alongside other secured creditors under the bridge financing agreement entered into with Stornoway on June 10, 2019, including Diaquem Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ressources Québec Inc. (collectively the "Secured Creditors").

Under the terms of the LOI, Osisko and the Secured Creditors have confirmed their intention to form an entity which will acquire by way of a credit bid transaction all or substantially all of the assets and properties of Stornoway, and assume the debts and liabilities owing to the Secured Creditors as well as the ongoing obligations relating to the operation of the Renard mine, subject to certain limited exceptions ("Credit Bid Transaction").

Pursuant to the Credit Bid Transaction, Osisko will maintain its 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard mine and will continue to receive stream deliveries, and has agreed to continue to reinvest its proceeds from the stream for a period of one year from the date of closing of the Credit Bid Transaction. As of December 31, 2019, an amount of $6.3 million was advanced from the proceeds of the stream deliveries and is included in short-term investments.

In connection with the Credit Bid Transaction, Stornoway had applied on September 9, 2019 to the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) for protection under the CCAA in order to restructure its business and financial affairs.

Concurrently with entering into the LOI, Osisko and certain of the Secured Creditors have entered into a definitive and binding working capital facility agreement with Stornoway providing for a working capital facility in an initial amount of $20.0 million, which facility is secured by a priority charge over the assets of Stornoway. Osisko's attributable portion of the working capital facility will be approximately $7.0 million, of which $2.5 million was advanced as of December 31, 2019. The working capital facility provides the financing and liquidity required to ensure that the Renard mine continues to operate in an uninterrupted manner.

The Credit Bid Transaction was closed on November 1, 2019 and Osisko became a 35.1% shareholder of the company now holding the Renard diamond mine, which is considered as an associate from that date.

Main impairments - 2019

Renard mine diamond stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

In March 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine in Québec, Canada, announced a significant impairment charge of $83.2 million on its Renard diamond mine reflecting an outlook of lower than expected diamond pricing. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at March 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $38.9 million ($28.6 million, net of income taxes) on the Renard diamond stream.

On March 31, 2019, the Renard diamond stream was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $122.4 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Renard diamond stream is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices per carat and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.7%.

Main impairments - 2019 (continued)

Renard mine diamond stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation) (continued)

In September 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine, Stornoway Diamond Corporation, announced that it had applied to the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA") in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at September 30, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $47.2 million ($34.6 million, net of income taxes) on the Renard diamond stream.

On September 30, 2019, the Renard diamond stream was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $70.2 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Renard diamond stream is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices per carat and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.6%.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term diamond price and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term diamond price per carat applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $7.0 million ($5.1 million, net of income taxes). If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $3.0 million ($2.2 million, net of income taxes).

Amulsar stream and offtake (Lydian International Limited)

In September 2019, Lydian International Limited announced a delay in the timing of the construction activities, expected first gold pour and ramp up to full production as a result of the 15-month blockade on construction as well as changes to the expected life of mine and annual production for the Amulsar project in Armenia. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at September 30, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of US$9.9 million ($13.1 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake.

On September 30, 2019, the Amulsar stream and offtake were written down to their estimated recoverable amount of US$73.7 million ($97.0 million), which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Amulsar stream and offtake is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold and silver from the Amulsar stream and offtake over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices per ounce of US$1,350 and US$17.75, respectively, and a post-tax real discount rate of 6.1%.

In December 2019, Lydian International Limited announced that it had applied to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for protection under the CCAA in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at December 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of US$51.3 million ($66.7 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake.

On December 31, 2019, the Amulsar stream and offtake were written down to their estimated recoverable amount of US$22.3 million ($29.0 million), which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using discounted cash-flows approaches and estimated probabilities of different exit scenarios from CCAA. The fair value of the Amulsar stream and offtake is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold and silver from the potential amendment of the Amulsar stream over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices per ounce of US$1,400 and US$17.50, respectively, a post-tax real discount rate of 10.1% and potential amendments of the Amulsar stream agreement resulting from probability weighted exit scenarios from the CCAA process.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term gold and silver prices and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term gold and silver prices per ounce applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$2.0 million ($2.6 million). If the probabilities of the different scenarios had been 10% lower (negative) than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$4.5 million ($5.8 million). If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$1.6 million ($2.1 million).

In addition, an impairment of US$3.6 million ($4.7 million) was taken on a note receivable and amounts receivable from Lydian.

Main impairments - 2019 (continued)

Éléonore royalty (Newmont Corporation)

In February 2020, the operator of the Éléonore gold mine in Québec, Canada, announced that it has updated its mineral reserve and resource estimates for the Éléonore mine as at December 31, 2019. As a result of the update, proven and probable gold mineral reserves and resources decreased by approximately 50%. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at December 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.2 million ($20.0 million, net of income taxes) on the Éléonore NSR royalty for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On December 31, 2019, the Éléonore NSR royalty was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $101.3 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Éléonore NSR royalty is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold received from the Éléonore NSR royalty based on the long-term annual gold production of 355,000 ounces over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, the long-term gold price of US$1,400 per ounce and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.1%, adjusted for the decrease in reserves and resources.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term gold price and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term gold price applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates (US$1,260 per ounce instead of US$1,400 per ounce), the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $10.1 million. If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates (5.1% instead of 4.1%), the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $4.2 million.

Main acquisitions - 2018

Dublin Gulch property NSR royalty (Victoria)

In April 2018, Osisko completed a $148.0 million financing transaction with Victoria, pursuant to which Osisko acquired from Victoria a 5% NSR royalty for $98.0 million on the Dublin Gulch property which hosts the Eagle Gold project located in Yukon, Canada, and acquired common shares of Victoria for $50.0 million. The 5% NSR royalty applies to all metals and minerals produced from the Dublin Gulch property, until an aggregate of 97,500 ounces of refined gold has been delivered to Osisko, and a 3% NSR royalty thereafter. The first tranche of the $98.0 million purchase price, representing $49.0 million, was paid on the closing of the transaction and the second tranche of $49.0 million will be funded pro rata to drawdowns under the subordinated debt facilities provided by Orion (or a third party). In 2018, two payments of $14.7 million were made to Victoria as part of the second tranche of the royalty purchase price, and the remaining commitment of $19.6 million was paid in 2019. The common shares of Victoria were disposed in 2019 (Note 21).

Cariboo property NSR royalty (Barkerville)

In September 2018, Osisko entered into a second amended and restated royalty purchase agreement with Barkerville pursuant to which it has acquired an additional 1.75% NSR royalty for the aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million on the Cariboo property, increasing the total NSR royalty held by Osisko to 4%. Osisko acquired Barkerville in November 2019, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary (Note 7).

Renard mine diamond stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

In October 2018, Osisko announced that it has entered into an amended and restated purchase and sale agreement (the "Amended Renard Streaming Agreement") with Stornoway in relation to the Renard stream ("Renard Stream Amendment"). As part of the Amended Renard Streaming Agreement, Osisko, along with Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Triple Flag Mining Finance Bermuda Ltd., Albion Exploration Fund, LLC and Washington State Investment Board (collectively, the "Streamers"), which collectively own a 20% diamond stream on the Renard mine (9.6% stream attributable to Osisko) (the "Renard Stream"), paid Stornoway the U.S. dollar equivalent of $45.0 million in cash ($21.4 million attributable to Osisko) as an additional up-front deposit to Stornoway.

The terms of the Amended Renard Streaming Agreement provide that the Streamers shall continue to hold a 20% undivided interest (9.6% stream attributable to Osisko) in all diamonds produced from the Renard mining property for the life of the mine (prior to the amendment, the stream was applicable to all diamonds produced from the first 5 project kimberlites to be mined at Renard for the life of mine, and the first 30 million carats from the property overall). Upon the completion of a sale of diamonds, the Streamers will remit to Stornoway a cash transfer payment which shall be the lesser of 40% of achieved sales price and US$40 per carat (prior to the amendment, the cash transfer was a fixed amount of US$50 per carat escalating at 1% per annum).

In addition, for the purpose of calculating stream remittances, Stornoway shall separately sell any diamonds smaller than the +7 DTC sieve size that are recovered in excess of the maximum agreed-upon proportion within a sale of run of mine ("ROM") diamonds (the excess small diamonds or incidentals). In this manner, Stornoway shall restrict the proportion of small diamonds contained in a ROM sale such that the Streamers and Stornoway will be fully aligned on upside price exposure with downside protection on price and product mix.

14. Royalty, stream and other interests (continued)

Disposal - 2018

Brucejack gold and silver stream (Pretium Resources Inc.)

In September 2018, Osisko announced that Osisko Bermuda Limited ("OBL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko, had received a notice from Pretium Resources Inc. ("Pretium") in regards to its election to exercise its option to fully repurchase OBL's 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 OBL's share of the Brucejack gold and silver stream by making a payment of US$118.5 million to OBL on December 31, 2018. In order to exercise this option, Pretium had to provide 90 days' prior written notice to OBL.

In December 2018, OBL received the proceeds of US$118.5 million ($159.4 million) from Pretium. The book value of the Brucejack gold and silver stream was US$111.7 million ($150.3 million), which resulted in a gain on disposal of a stream interest of US$6.8 million ($9.1 million) presented on the consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Impairments - 2018

In 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $159.0 million ($118.3 million, net of income taxes), including $158.2 million ($117.5 million, net of income taxes) on royalty, stream and other interests and $0.8 million to write-off an amount receivable from the operator of an impaired asset.

Éléonore NSR royalty

In October 2018, the operator of the Éléonore gold mine in Québec, Canada, announced that it has updated its mineral reserve and resource estimates for the Éléonore mine as at June 30, 2018. As a result of the update, proven and probable gold mineral reserves and resources decreased by 21%. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at December 31, 2018. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $148.5 million ($109.1 million, net of income taxes) on the Éléonore NSR royalty for the year ended December 31, 2018.

On December 31, 2018, the Éléonore NSR royalty was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $138.6 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Éléonore NSR royalty is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold received from the Éléonore NSR royalty based on the long-term annual gold production of 400,000 ounces over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, the long-term gold price of US$1,300 per ounce and a post-tax real discount rate of 5.1%, adjusted for the decrease in reserves and resources.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term gold price and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term gold price applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates (US$1,170 per ounce instead of US$1,300 per ounce), the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $13.9 million. If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates (6.1% instead of 5.1%), the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $7.8 million.

Other assets impaired

The Company recorded additional impairment charges on royalty and offtake interests of $9.7 million ($8.3 million net of income taxes) on assets for which the Company does not expect to receive future revenues, and on assets held by companies that have ceased or are expected to cease production or are in bankruptcy.

(i) In 2016, Osisko entered into an earn-in agreement with Osisko Mining on the Kan property. In 2019, Osisko Mining reached the minimal investment threshold on the Kan property. Therefore, a 100% interest in the Kan property was transferred to Osisko Mining (now held by O3 Mining Inc.) and Osisko holds an escalating NSR royalty ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% on precious metals and a 2.0% NSR royalty on other metals and minerals produced from the Kan property.

(ii) In 2019, the Company incurred an impairment charge of $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on its Coulon zinc project in Canada for which the Company determined that further exploration and evaluation expenditures are no longer planned in the near term and that the carrying amount of the asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from a sale of the project at the current time. On December 31, 2019, the Coulon project was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $10.0 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a market approach, based on a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized. In 2018, the Company had incurred an impairment charge of $7.3 million ($5.4 million, net of income taxes) on certain exploration and evaluation properties in Canada for which substantive exploration and evaluation expenditures (taking into consideration such expenditures to be incurred by a farmee) is neither budgeted nor planned or for which the Company (or the farmee) has decided to discontinue such activities.

16. Exploration and evaluation (continued)

(iii) Exploration and evaluation assets having a net book value of $31.7 million as at December 31, 2019 ($34.0 million as at December 31, 2018) are subject to different earn-in agreements with O3 Mining Inc. ("O3 Mining"), an associate of the Company. Under the earn-in agreements (originally signed in 2016 with Osisko Mining, which has transferred them to O3 Mining in 2019), O3 Mining may earn a 100% interest in most of Osisko's exploration properties located in the James Bay area and Labrador Trough (excluding the Coulon copper-zinc project) upon completing expenditures of $26.0 million over an initial 7-year period; O3 Mining may earn a first 50% interest upon completing expenditures totaling $15.6 million over an initial 4-year period. Osisko will retain an escalating NSR royalty ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% on precious metals and a 2.0% NSR royalty on other metals and minerals produced from the properties. In 2019, investments on the properties by the farmee amounted to approximately $2.0 million for a total to date of $6.6 million.

17. Goodwill

The Company's goodwill is allocated to a group of cash generating units: the Éléonore NSR royalty and the Canadian Malartic NSR royalty ("CGUs").

The Company tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on the fair value less costs of disposal calculations using a discounted cash-flows approach, which require the use of assumptions and unobservable inputs, and therefore is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The calculations use cash flow projections expected to be generated by the sale of gold and silver received from the CGUs based on annual gold and silver production over their estimated life from publicly released technical information by the operators to predict future performance.

The following table sets out the key assumptions for the CGUs in addition to annual gold and silver production over the estimated life of the Éléonore and Canadian Malartic mines:

2019 2018
Long-term gold price (per ounce) US$1,400 US$1,300
Long-term silver price (per ounce) US$18 US$18
Post-tax real discount rate 4.1% 5.1%

Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key assumptions as follows:

Assumption Approach used to determine values
Long-term gold price Based on current gold market trends consistent with external sources of information, such as long-term gold price consensus.
Long-term silver price Based on current silver market trends consistent with external sources of information, such as long-term silver price consensus.
Post-tax real discount rate Reflects specific risks relating to gold mines operating in Québec, Canada.

The Company's management has considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for key assumptions and has not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Share repurchase and secondary offering

On June 25, 2019, Osisko announced that Betelgeuse LLC ("Orion"), a jointly owned subsidiary of certain investment funds managed by Orion Resource Partners, had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, an aggregate of 7,850,000 common shares of the Company held by Orion (the "Secondary Offering") at an offering price of $14.10 per common share (the "Secondary Offering Price"). Osisko has not received any of the proceeds of the Secondary Offering. Orion has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable at any time up to 30 days from and including the date of closing of the Secondary Offering, to purchase up to 1,177,500 additional common shares, at the Secondary Offering Price. The Secondary Offering closed on July 11, 2019 and the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full by the underwriters on July 18, 2019.

In a concurrent transaction, Osisko purchased for cancellation 12,385,717 of its common shares from Orion (the "Share Repurchase"), for an aggregate purchase price paid by Osisko to Orion of $174.6 million. The purchase price per common share to be paid by Osisko under the Share Repurchase was determined to be the Secondary Offering Price. Payment from Osisko to Orion consists of a combination of cash ($129.5 million) and the direct transfer of investments in associates and other investments held by Osisko ($45.1 million). In a concurrent transaction, Osisko has also sold to separate entities managed by Orion Resource Partners certain other equity securities held by Osisko for cash. The Share Repurchase resulted in an 8% reduction in basic common shares outstanding following the Share Repurchase.

(i) Number of common shares held by shareholders participating to the dividend reinvestment plan described below.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that allows Canadian and U. S. shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends into additional common shares either purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or the NYSE, or issued directly from treasury by the Company, or acquired by a combination thereof. In the case of a treasury issuance, the price will be the weighted average price of the common shares on the TSX or the NYSE during the five trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date, less a discount, if any, of up to 5%, at the Company's sole election.

As at December 31, 2019, the holders of 6,666,723 common shares had elected to participate in the DRIP, representing dividends payable of $0.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 198,609 common shares under the DRIP, at a discount rate of 3% (310,492 common shares in 2018 at a discount rate of 3%). On January 15, 2020, 28,351 common shares were issued under the DRIP at a discount rate of 3%.

Capital management

The Company's primary objective when managing capital is to maximize returns for its shareholders by growing its asset base, both organically through strategic investments in exploration and development companies and through accretive acquisitions of high-quality royalties, streams and other similar interests, while ensuring capital protection. The Company defines capital as long-term debt and total equity, including the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. Capital is managed by the Company's management and governed by the Board of Directors.

Share options

The Company offers a share option plan (the "Plan") to its directors, officers, management, employees and consultants. Options may be granted at an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX on the day prior to their grant. No participant shall be granted an option which exceeds 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of granting of the option. The number of common shares issued to insiders of the Company within one year and issuable to the insiders of the Company at any time under the Plan or combined with all other share compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 8% of the issued and outstanding common shares. The duration and the vesting period are determined by the Board of Directors. However, the expiry date may not exceed 7 years after the date of granting.

Share options - Fair value

The options, when granted, are accounted for at their fair value determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the vesting period and on the following weighted average assumptions:

2019 2018
Dividend per share 1% 1%
Expected volatility 34% 35%
Risk-free interest rate 2% 2%
Expected life 49 months 46 months
Weighted average share price $ 13.51 $ 12.85
Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 3.41 $ 3.37

The expected volatility was estimated using Osisko's historical data from the date of grant and for a period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Share options are exercisable at the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the day prior to their grant.

The fair value of the share options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. In 2019, the total share-based compensation related to share options on the consolidated statement of loss amounted to $2.9 million ($3.1 million in 2018).

Deferred and restricted share units

The Company has a Deferred Share Unit Plan and a Restricted Share Unit Plan, which allow DSU and RSU to be granted to directors, officers and employees as part of their long-term compensation package and entitling them to receive payout in cash. In 2018 and 2019 respectively, the RSU and DSU plans were amended to provide for the right of the Company to settle a payment in the form of common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash (the "Amended RSU Plan").

(i) In May 2019, following an amendment to the DSU Plan, all outstanding DSU were transferred from cash-settled to equity-settled as the Company now intends to settle these DSU in equity instead of cash. The Company has reclassified the fair value at the date of transfer from provisions and other liabilities to contributed surplus.

The DSU vest the day prior to the next annual general meeting and are payable in common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company, to each director when he or she leaves the board or is not re-elected. The value of the payout is determined by multiplying the number of DSU expected to be vested at the payout date by the closing price of the Company's shares on the day prior to the grant date. The fair value is recognized over the vesting period. On the settlement date, one common share will be issued for each DSU, after deducting any income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the director that must be remitted by the Company to the tax authorities. The DSU granted in 2019 have a weighted average value of $13.61 per DSU ($13.18 per DSU in 2018).

(ii) 68,162 RSU were granted to management in 2018 as part of the 2017 short-term incentive plan (70,320 RSU after reinvestment of dividends), representing a value of $1.0 million. These RSU vested on December 31, 2019 and a total of 32,492 common shares were issued in January 2020 (after deducting the income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the employee that must be remitted by the Company to the tax authorities).

On December 31, 2019, 150,000 RSU were granted to an officer (with a value of $12.70 per RSU) and will vest and be payable in equal tranches over a three-year period (1/3 per year), in common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company. An additional 75,000 RSU were also granted (with a value of $12.70 per RSU) and will vest upon the officer buying a total of 75,000 common shares of the Company by December 31, 2020. The common shares were acquired in January 2020, which triggered the vesting of the RSU and a total of 34,852 common shares were issued to the officer (after deducting the income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the employee that must be remitted by the Company to the tax authorities).

The remaining RSU vest and are payable in common shares, cash or a combination of common shares and cash, at the sole discretion of the Company, three years after the grant date, one half of which depends on the achievement of certain performance measures. The weighted average value of the RSU granted in 2019 was $13.61 per RSU ($12.97 per RSU in 2018).

The value of the payout is determined by multiplying the number of RSU expected to be vested at the payout date by the closing price of the Company's shares on the day prior to the grant date. The fair value is recognized over the vesting period and is adjusted in function of the applicable terms for the performance based components, when applicable. On the settlement date, one common share is issued for each RSU, after deducting any income taxes payable on the benefit earned by the employee that must be remitted by the Company to the tax authorities.

(iii) In October 2018, following the approval of the Amended RSU Plan, 428,090 outstanding RSU have been transferred from cash-settled to equity-settled as the Company now intends to settle these RSU in equity instead of cash. The Company has reclassified the fair value at the date of transfer from provisions and other liabilities to contributed surplus.

The provision for income taxes presented in the consolidated statements of loss differs from the amount that would arise using the statutory income tax rate applicable to income of the consolidated entities, as a result of the following:

2019 2018

All values are in US Dollars.

The 2019 Canadian federal and provincial statutory income tax rate is 26.6% (26.7% in 2018). The 2019 effective tax rate reflects an income tax expense of $0.1 million relating to the reduction of the Québec tax rate from 11.6% to 11.5% in 2020. The 2018 effective tax rate reflects an income tax expense of $0.3 million relating to the reduction of the Québec tax rate from 11.7% to 11.5% in 2020. .

(c) Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities

The aggregate amount of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized as at December 31, 2019, is $39.1 million ($76.8 million as at December 31, 2018). No deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries because the Company controls the timing of reversal and it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future.

29. Financial risks

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's performance.

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment in excess liquidities.

(a) Market risks

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The Company's interest rate risk on financial assets is primarily related to cash, which bear interest at variable rates. However, as these investments come to maturity within a short period of time, the impact would likely be not significant. Short-term investments and other financial assets are not exposed to interest rate risk because they are mostly non-interest bearing or bear interest at fixed rates, except for derivative financial instruments (warrants). Short-term investments bearing interest at variable rates are not significant, and therefore, a 0.5% increase (decrease) in interest rates would have resulted in an immaterial impact on net earnings for 2019 and 2018.

Financial liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk because they are non-interest bearing or bear a fixed interest rate, except for the revolving credit facility which bears a variable interest rate. An increase (decrease) of 0.5% in the interest rates would have resulted in an insignificant variation of the net loss in 2019 and 2018. The Company does not use derivatives to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk.

(ii) Foreign exchange risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency volatility, primarily with respect to the US dollar. The Company holds balances in cash denominated in U.S. dollars and can draw on its credit facility in U.S. dollars and is therefore exposed to gains or losses on foreign exchange.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balances in U.S. dollars held by entities having the Canadian dollar as their functional currency were as follows:

December 31,
2019 2018
Cash and cash equivalents 46,267 38,677
Amounts receivable - 1,011
Other assets 567 641
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (86 (22
Revolving credit facility (15,000 -
Net exposure, in US dollars 31,748 40,307
Equivalent in Canadian dollars 41,234 54,987

All values are in US Dollars.

Based on the balances as at December 31, 2019, a 5% fluctuation in the exchange rates on that date (with all other variables being constant) would have resulted in a variation of net earnings of approximately $1.3 million in 2019 ($2.1 million in 2018).

29. Financial risks (continued)

(a) Market risks (continued)

(iii) Other price risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of holding long-term investments in other exploration and development mining companies. The equity prices of long-term investments are impacted by various underlying factors including commodity prices. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at December 31, 2019, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would increase (decrease) the net loss by $0.4 million and the other comprehensive loss by $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Based on the Company's long-term investments held as at December 31, 2018, a 10% increase (decrease) in the equity prices of these investments would have decreased (increased) the net loss by $0.5 million and would have increased (decreased) the other comprehensive loss by $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, short-term investments, amounts receivable, notes receivable, other financing facilities receivable and reclamation deposits. The Company reduces its credit risk by investing its cash in high interest savings accounts with Canadian and U.S. recognized financial institutions and its reclamation deposits in guaranteed investments certificates issued by Canadian chartered banks. In the case of amounts receivable, notes receivable and other financing facilities, the Company performs either a credit analysis or ensures that is has sufficient guaranties in case of a non-payment by the third party to cover the net book value of the note. In some cases, the loans receivable could be applied against stream deposits due by the Company or converted into a royalty if the third party is not able to reimburse its loan.

The maximum credit exposure of the Company corresponds to the respective instrument's carrying amount.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows, taking into account the requirements related to its investment commitments, mining properties and exploration and evaluation assets and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transaction out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on mergers, acquisitions or other major investment or divestitures. The Company also manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 22. As at December 31, 2019, cash is invested in high interest savings accounts held with Canadian and U.S. recognized financial institutions.

As at December 31, 2019, all financial liabilities to be settled in cash or by the transfer of other financial assets mature within 90 days, except for the convertible debentures, the revolving credit facility and the lease liabilities, which are described below:

30. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

Financial instruments in Level 1

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices on a recognized securities exchange at the balance sheet dates. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the last transaction price. Instruments included in Level 1 consist primarily of common shares trading on recognized securities exchanges, such as the TSX or the TSX Venture.

Financial instruments in Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the Company's specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. Instruments included in Level 2 consist of notes receivable and the liability related to share exchange rights. If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Financial instruments in Level 3

Financial instruments classified in Level 3 include investments in private companies and warrants held by the Company that are not traded on a recognized securities exchange. At each balance sheet date, the fair value of investments held in private companies is evaluated using a discounted cash-flows approach. The main valuation inputs used in the cash-flows models being significant unobservable inputs, these investments are classified in Level 3. The fair value of the investments in warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which includes significant inputs not based on observable market data. Therefore, investments in warrants are included in Level 3.

The following table presents the changes in the Level 3 investments (warrants and investments in private companies) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

2019 2018
Balance - January 1 59,600 8,092

30. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Financial instruments in Level 3 (continued)

The fair value of the financial instruments classified as Level 3 depends on the nature of the financial instruments.

The fair value of the warrants on equity securities of publicly traded mining exploration and development companies, classified as Level 3, is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The main non-observable input used in the model is the expected volatility. An increase/decrease in the expected volatility used in the models of 10% would lead to an increase/decrease in the fair value of the warrants of $0.3 million as at December 31, 2019 and $0.4 million as at December 31, 2018.

As at December 31, 2018, the fair value of the equity securities of private mining exploration and development companies was determined using a discounted cash flows. The main non-observable inputs used in the models were the expected price of metals and the discount rate. An increase (decrease) in the long-term gold price of 10%, (base price used in the discounted cash flow model is US$1,300 per ounce) would lead to an increase (decrease) in the fair value of the investments in private companies of $6.7 million in 2018 and an increase (decrease) of 100 basis points in the discount rate (the base discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model is 5.1%) would lead to an increase (decrease) in the fair value of the investment of $6.7 million. There was no significant investment in private companies as at December 31, 2019.

Foreign exchange contracts

In 2019, the Company entered into foreign exchange contracts (collar options) to sell U.S. dollars and buy Canadian dollars for a total nominal amount of US$12.0 million. The contracts were put in place to protect revenues in Canadian dollars (from the sale of gold ounces received from royalty interests which are denominated in U.S. dollars) from a stronger Canadian dollar. The fair value of the contracts is booked at each reporting period on the consolidated balance sheets. As at December 31, 2019, there were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets

Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are represented by cash, short-term investments, trade receivables, amounts receivable from associates and other receivables, notes receivable, other financing facilities receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the long-term debt. The fair values of cash, short-term investments, trade receivables, amounts receivable from associates and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the non-current notes receivable and other financing credit facilities receivable approximate their carrying value as there were no significant changes in economic and risks parameters since the issuance/acquisition or assumptions of those financial instruments.

The following table presents the carrying amount and the fair value of long-term debt, categorized under Levels 1 and 2, as at December 31, 2019:

December 31, 2019
Fair <br>value Carrying amount

31. Segment disclosure

Following the acquisition of Barkerville in November 2019, the chief operating decision-maker organizes and manages the business under two operating segments: (i) acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests, and (ii) the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects. All of the Company's assets and revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment, with the exception of mining interests, plant and equipment, and exploration and evaluation assets, which are attributable to the exploration and development of mining projects operating segment. Prior to the acquisition of Barkerville, the Company had only one operating segment, which was the acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests. The comparative figures have been restated to conform to the actual segments.

Royalty, stream and other interests - Geographic revenues

All of the Company's revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment.  Geographic revenues from the sale of metals and diamonds received or acquired from in-kind royalties, streams and other interests are determined by the location of the mining operations giving rise to the royalty, stream or other interest. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, royalty, stream and other interest revenues were mainly earned from the following jurisdictions:

2019 – Annual Report

Description of the Business

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) and is focused on acquiring and managing precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests in Canada and worldwide. The Company owns a portfolio of royalties, streams, offtakes, options on royalty/stream financings and exclusive rights to participate in future royalty/stream financings on various projects, mainly in Canada. The Company owns a North American focused portfolio of over 135 royalty, stream and offtake interests, including its cornerstone asset, a 5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, located in Canada. Furthermore, the Company invests in equities of exploration and development companies. The Company has recently completed the acquisition of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville"), which owns the Cariboo Gold project in British Columbia, Canada.

Business Model and Strategy

Osisko is a growth-oriented and Canadian-focused precious metal royalty and streaming company that is focused on maximizing returns for its shareholders by growing its asset base, both organically and through accretive acquisitions of precious metal and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests, and by returning capital to its shareholders through a quarterly dividend payment and share repurchases. Osisko has a unique growth strategy that consists not only of acquiring and structuring both producing and late-stage development royalty and stream products, but also of investing in longer term assets where the Company feels it is uniquely positioned to create value and realize returns through the development of these assets. The Company has a successful track-record of strong technical capabilities, which it puts to work creating its own pipeline of organic growth opportunities that provide exposure to the upside of commodity prices and to the optionality of mineral reserve and resource growth.

Osisko's main focus is on high quality, long-life precious metals assets located in favourable jurisdictions and operated by established mining companies, as these assets provide the best risk/return profile. The Company also evaluates and invests in opportunities in other commodities and jurisdictions. Given that a core aspect of the Company's business is the ability to compete for investment opportunities, Osisko plans to maintain a strong balance sheet and ability to deploy capital.

  • Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share payable on April 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2020.

Acquisition of Barkerville and Creation of North Spirit Discovery Group

On November 21, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Barkerville that it did not already own at the date of the transaction through a court approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Barkerville is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on the development of its extensive land package located in the historical Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia, Canada.

For each common share of Barkerville, shareholders received 0.0357 common share of Osisko. All of Barkerville's outstanding common share options have been exchanged for common share options ("Barkerville replacement share options") of Osisko using the same share exchange ratio as for the common shares.

A total of 13,560,832 Osisko common shares were issued and valued at $160.6 million, based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the transaction date. A total of 1,005,478 Barkerville replacement share options were issued and valued at $1.9 million, based on the Black-Sholes option pricing model. The fair value of the 10,000,000 Barkerville common share warrants already held by the Company and cancelled was estimated at $0.6 million, using the Black-Sholes option pricing model. Transaction costs amounted to $1.5 million and cash and cash equivalents acquired amounted to $8.3 million.

Prior to the acquisition date, Osisko held an initial investment of 183,625,585 common shares in Barkerville, which was considered as an investment in an associate, having a net book value of $101.4 million. On November 21, 2019, the date of acquisition of Barkerville, the fair value of the initial investment was $77.1 million and has been included as part of consideration for the transaction, resulting in a loss of $24.3 million recorded in the consolidated statements of loss under other gains (losses), net. Osisko also held a 4% NSR royalty on the Cariboo project prior to the acquisition of Barkerville having a net book value of $56.1 million, which was transferred from royalty, stream and other interests to mining interests and plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets.

In accordance with the early adoption of the amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations, the transaction has been recorded as an acquisition of assets as the acquired assets and assumed liabilities did not constitute a business.

The total purchase price of $241.7 million was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair value of the total consideration at the closing date of the transaction. All financial assets acquired and financial liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value.

The purchase price was calculated as follows:

Consideration paid 000
Issuance of 13,560,832 common shares 160,564
Fair value of 183,625,585 Barkerville common shares already held 77,123

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

The acquisition of Barkerville is expected to bring the main following benefits to Osisko shareholders:

  • Greater exposure to a unique, high quality, advanced development project in Canada with world-class potential;
  • Allows Osisko, through the creation of the North Spririt Discovery Group, to advance the development strategy and provides greater certainty with respect to the timeline to production for the Cariboo project;
  • Ability to achieve stronger shareholder returns, as compared to Osisko's equity position in a Barkerville stand-alone development scenario;
  • Meaningfully accretive on a net asset value basis for Osisko;
  • Further enhances Osisko's peer leading growth profile; and
  • Substantially increases net asset value contribution from Canada.

Concurrent to the Arrangement, Osisko announced the creation of North Spirit Discovery Group, its new project development platform. North Spirit Discovery Group is the next step in the evolution of Osisko's accelerator business that Osisko pioneered over the last five years, with the goal of privatizing and surfacing value in resource development projects. Through this platform, Osisko will leverage its industry-leading technical team with a proven track record of creating value through resource discovery, project development and mine operation. Osisko's ownership of North Spirit Discovery Group will eventually be reduced as external funds are expected to be raised. It aims to become a leading resource development and finance company with the assistance of joint venture partners and/or private equity capital.

Over the next two years, Osisko will carry on site activities on the Cariboo gold property, invest in exploration activities (approximately $12.0 million planned in 2020), reclaim certain historical sites, install preproduction water treatment facilities and advance technical studies towards a feasibility study.

Credit Bid Transaction - Renard Diamond Mine

On September 9, 2019, Osisko announced that it had entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with Stornoway and certain of its subsidiaries  alongside other secured creditors under the bridge financing agreement entered into with Stornoway on June 10, 2019, including Diaquem Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ressources Québec Inc. (collectively the "Secured Creditors").

Under the terms of the LOI, Osisko and the Secured Creditors have confirmed their intention to form an entity which will acquire by way of a credit bid transaction all or substantially all of the assets and properties of Stornoway, and assume the debts and liabilities owing to the Secured Creditors as well as the ongoing obligations relating to the operation of the Renard mine, subject to certain limited exceptions ("Credit Bid Transaction").

Pursuant to the Credit Bid Transaction, Osisko will maintain its 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard mine and will continue to receive stream deliveries, and has agreed to continue to reinvest its proceeds from the stream for a period of one year from the date of closing of the Credit Bid Transaction. As of December 31, 2019, an amount of $6.3 million was advanced from the proceeds of the stream deliveries and is included in short-term investments.

In connection with the Credit Bid Transaction, Stornoway had applied on September 9, 2019 to the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in order to restructure its business and financial affairs.

Concurrently with entering into the LOI, Osisko and certain of the Secured Creditors have entered into a definitive and binding working capital facility agreement with Stornoway providing for a working capital facility in an initial amount of $20.0 million, which facility is secured by a priority charge over the assets of Stornoway. Osisko's attributable portion of the working capital facility will be approximately $7.0 million, of which $2.5 million was advanced as of December 31, 2019. The working capital facility provides the financing and liquidity required to ensure that the Renard mine continues to operate in an uninterrupted manner.

The Credit Bid Transaction was closed on November 1, 2019 and Osisko became a 35.1% shareholder of the company now holding the Renard diamond mine, which is considered as an associate from that date.

Orion Transaction

On June 25, 2019, Osisko announced that Betelgeuse LLC, a jointly owned subsidiary of certain investment funds managed by Orion Resource Partners, had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, an aggregate of 7,850,000 common shares of the Company held by Orion (the "Secondary Offering") at an offering price of $14.10 per common share (the "Secondary Offering Price"). Osisko did not receive any of the proceeds of the Secondary Offering. Orion had granted the underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable at any time up to 30 days from and including the date of closing of the Secondary Offering, to purchase up to 1,177,500 additional common shares, at the Secondary Offering Price. The Secondary Offering was closed on July 11, 2019 and the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full by the underwriters on July 18, 2019.

In a concurrent transaction, Osisko has agreed to purchase for cancellation 12,385,717 of its common shares from Orion (the "Share Repurchase"), for an aggregate purchase price paid by Osisko to Orion of $174.6 million. The purchase price per common share to be paid by Osisko under the Share Repurchase was determined to be the Secondary Offering Price. Payment from Osisko to Orion consisted of a combination of cash ($129.5 million) and the direct transfer of investments in associates and other investments held by Osisko ($45.1 million). In a concurrent transaction, Osisko has also agreed to sell to separate entities managed by Orion Resource Partners certain other equity securities held by Osisko for cash. The Share Repurchase resulted in an 8% reduction in basic common shares outstanding.

The main benefits of the Share Repurchase transaction are:

  • An 8% reduction in the number of Osisko's issued and outstanding common shares at an attractive price, resulting in an immediate positive impact on Osisko's earnings per share and cash flow per share;
  • Monetization of certain less liquid equity positions held by Osisko;
  • Overall reduction in the weight of Osisko's equity portfolio in relation to the overall size of the business; and
  • Reduction in expected annual dividend payments by $2.5 million.

On June 28, 2019, Osisko and Orion completed the first tranche of the Share Repurchase. A total of 7,319,499 common shares of Osisko were acquired from Orion and subsequently cancelled. A portion of the purchase price of $103.2 million for the first tranche of the Share Repurchase was paid in cash (from the sale of all of the common shares held by Osisko in Dalradian Resources Inc. ("Dalradian") to another entity managed by Orion Resource Partners) and a portion was paid in the form of the transfer from Osisko to Orion of investments in associates and other investments.

The second tranche of the Share Repurchase closed on July 15, 2019 for the acquisition and cancellation of 5,066,218 common shares of Osisko. The purchase price of $71.4 million was paid in cash (from the sale of all of the common shares held by Osisko in Victoria Gold Corp. ("Victoria") to another entity managed by Orion Resource Partners). Upon closing of the transactions, Orion's ownership of Osisko's issued and outstanding common shares was reduced to 6.2%.The transaction costs related to the Share Repurchase and Secondary Offering were reimbursed by Orion.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

Canadian Malartic Royalty (Agnico Eagle Mines Limited and Yamana Gold Inc.)

The Company's cornerstone asset is a 5% NSR royalty on the Canadian Malartic property which is located in Malartic, Québec, and operated by the Canadian Malartic General Partnership (the  "Partnership") formed by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") and Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") (together the "Partners"). Canadian Malartic is Canada's largest and the world's 14^th^ largest producing gold mine.

Osisko also holds a 3% NSR royalty on the Odyssey North zone and a 5% NSR royalty on the Odyssey South and East Gouldie zones, which are located adjacent to the Canadian Malartic mine on Osisko's royalty ground.

Update on operations

On February 13, 2020, Agnico provided a forecast for Canadian Malartic of 660,000 ounces of gold in 2020 (including 15,500 gold ounces related to the Barnat pit), 690,000-710,000 in 2021 and 650,000-670,000 in 2022.

Agnico reported gold production of 163,810 ounces at Canadian Malartic for the fourth quarter of 2019, for a total of 669,192 ounces in 2019, higher than the guidance of 660,000 ounces.

Agnico announced that in the fourth quarter of 2019, pre-commercial production began at the Barnat extension project as the new Highway 117 deviation opened for traffic in early October. Mining activities at the Barnat pit are expected to continue to ramp up during 2020. Approximately 15,500 ounces of pre-commercial gold production are expected from the Barnat pit during the first nine months of 2020.

Agnico also reported a first inferred mineral resource of 2.8 million ounces of gold at the East Gouldie zone (25.6 million tonnes grading 3.34 g/t gold) at December 31, 2019. At East Malartic, inferred mineral resources of 2.4 million ounces of gold were added with the inclusion of deeper portions of the deposit between 1,000 metres to 1,800 metres depth, increasing total inferred mineral resources at East Malartic to 5.2 million ounces of gold (78.8 million tonnes grading 2.05 g/t gold). At the Canadian Malartic mine, the Partnership is expected to spend $15.0 million for 90,000 metres of exploration and conversion drilling primarily focused on declaring new inferred mineral resources at the East Gouldie zone and infilling the current inferred mineral resources in the zone to convert them into indicated mineral resources by year-end 2020. In addition to the drilling at East Gouldie, the Partnership is planning to spend another $10.0 million on 22,000 metres of exploration drilling to test other regional targets at Canadian Malartic and on studies.

The substantial increases in mineral resources, particularly at the East Gouldie and East Malartic zones, have the potential to eventually replace mineral reserves currently being mined at the adjacent Canadian Malartic pit. The Partnership continues to evaluate the Odyssey project with consideration being given to potential new development synergies between the various zones at East Gouldie, Odyssey, East Malartic and Canadian Malartic. Subject to a positive development decision, initial production could potentially start in 2023. The Partnership is evaluating scenarios to optimize the project.

For more information, refer to Agnico's press release dated February 13, 2020 entitled "Agnico Eagle Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2019 Results - Record Annual And Quarterly Gold Production; Production Guidance Outlines 18% Growth Through 2022 With Declining Unit Costs In 2021 And 2022; Pipeline Projects Continue To Advance; Quarterly Dividend Increased" and filed on www.sedar.com.

Éléonore Royalty (Newmont Corporation)

Osisko owns a sliding scale 2.0% to 3.5% NSR royalty on the Éléonore gold property located in the Province of Québec and operated by Newmont Corporation ("Newmont"), following the combination of Newmont Mining Corporation and Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp") completed in April 2019. Osisko currently receives an NSR royalty of 2.2% on production at Éléonore.

Update on operations

On December 2, 2019, Newmont provided 2020 guidance on the Éléonore mine of 355,000 ounces of gold.

Renard Stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

Osisko owns a 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard diamond mine operated by Stornoway and located approximately 350 kilometres north of Chibougamau in the James Bay region of north-central Québec. The Renard stream is secured by a first-ranking security interest over all assets and properties of Stornoway.

Under the stream agreement, upon the completion of a sale of diamonds, Osisko remits to Stornoway a cash transfer payment which equals to the lesser of 40% of achieved sales price and US$40 per carat. For the purpose of calculating stream remittances, Stornoway shall separately sell any diamonds smaller than the +7 DTC sieve size that are recovered in excess of the maximum agreed-upon proportion within a sale of run of mine ("ROM") diamonds (the excess small diamonds, or incidentals). In this manner, Stornoway shall restrict the proportion of small diamonds contained in a ROM sale such that the streamers and Stornoway will be fully aligned on upside price exposure with downside protection on price and product mix.

Credit Bid Transaction

The Credit Bid Transaction was closed on November 1, 2019 and Osisko became a 35.1% shareholder of the company now holding the Renard diamond mine, which is considered as an associate from that date. The transaction is described in the section Credit bid transaction - Renard diamond mine of this MD&A.

Update on operations

In 2019, Stornoway recovered 1.9 million carats from the processing of 2.55 million tonnes of ore, in line with the revised guidance. Total sales for 2019 were 1.9 million carats sold at an average price of US$75 per carat.

In 2019, Osisko incurred an impairment charge of $86.1 million ($63.2 million, net of income taxes) on its Renard diamond stream (refer to section Impairment of Assets).

Eagle Gold Royalty (Victoria Gold Corp.)

Osisko owns a 5% NSR royalty on the Dublin Gulch property, which hosts the Eagle Gold mine, owned and operated by Victoria. The Dublin Gulch gold property is situated in central Yukon Territory, Canada, approximately 375 kilometres north of the capital city of Whitehorse, and approximately 85 kilometres from the town of Mayo.

The Olive pit is estimated to contain 0.3 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated category (10 million tonnes averaging 1.07 g/t Au), inclusive of proven and probable reserves, and a further 0.2 million ounces in the inferred category (7 million tonnes averaging 0.89 g/t Au).

On October 8, 2019, Victoria made its first shipment of doré from the Eagle Gold mine to be delivered to the Royal Canadian Mint for refining and Osisko received its first delivery under the royalty agreement in October 2019.

Mantos Blancos Stream (Mantos Copper S.A.)

Osisko owns a 100% silver stream on the Mantos Blancos mine, which is owned and operated by Mantos Copper S.A. ("Mantos"), a private mining company focused on the extraction and sale of copper. The company owns and operates the Mantos Blancos mine and Mantoverde project, located in the Antofagasta and Atacama regions in northern Chile.

On September 3, 2019, Osisko announced a definitive agreement with Mantos to enhance its existing silver purchase agreement (the "Amended Stream Agreement") with respect to 100% of the silver produced from the Mantos Blancos copper mine by investing an additional US$25.0 million ($33.4 million). The stream amendment transaction is part of a comprehensive US$250.0 million financing package entered into by Mantos to expand the project's sulphide concentrator plant. Under the Amended Stream Agreement, Osisko will receive 100% of the payable silver from the Mantos Blancos copper mine until 19.3 million ounces have been delivered (1.3 million ounces have been delivered at December 31, 2019), after which the stream percentage will be 40% (30% prior to the amendment). The purchase price for the silver under the Mantos Blancos stream is 8% (25% prior to the amendment) of the monthly average silver market price for each ounce of refined silver sold and delivered and/or credited by Mantos to Osisko Bermuda Limited ("OBL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko. Mantos had the option to reduce the amount of refined silver to be delivered and sold to OBL by 50% in September 2020, which was cancelled as part of the amendment.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

Update on operations

As per Mantos, production of silver at the Mantos Blancos mine and concentrator plant for the fourth quarter of 2019 was higher than the third quarter at 248,893 ounces of payable silver versus 221,164 ounces in the third quarter, due to higher grades (8,37g/t compared to 8,13g/t), higher recovery (81.8% compared to 77.9%) and also more material milled.

Work on the Mantos Blancos Concentrator Debottlenecking Project ("MB-CDP") commenced during the third quarter of 2019, after the financing was finalized. The engineering, procurement and construction activities commenced with detailed engineering, submission of purchase orders for key equipment, and construction activities for the project execution. All main subcontracts have been awarded and work is currently advancing according to the plan. The MB-CDP project should increase processing capacity at the concentrator by approximately 70%. The key environmental permits are in place.

Brucejack Offtake (Pretium Resources Inc.)

Osisko, through OBL, owned a 50% gold offtake on the Brucejack gold mine. The Brucejack offtake agreement applied to the sales from the first 7,067,000 ounces (of which 3,533,500 ounces were attributable to OBL) of refined gold. OBL was required to pay for refined gold based on a market referenced gold price in U.S. dollars per ounce during a defined pricing period before and after the date of each sale. The offtake obligation applied to 100% (50% attributable to OBL) of refined gold produced at the Brucejack mine, subject to the following reduction election: on December 31, 2019, Pretium had the option to reduce the offtake obligation to either (i) 50% (25%  attributable to OBL) by paying US$13 per ounce multiplied by 0.50, on the remaining undelivered gold ounces, or (ii) 25% (12.5% attributable to OBL) by paying US$13 per ounce multiplied by 0.75, on the remaining undelivered gold ounces.

On September 15, 2019, OBL sold back its Brucejack offtake to the operator of the mine for US$41.3 million ($54.8 million) and generated a gain on the sale of US$5.8 million ($7.6 million).

Sasa Stream (Central Asia Metals plc)

Osisko, through OBL, owns a 100% silver stream on the Sasa mine, operated by Central Asia Metals plc ("Central Asia") and located in Macedonia. The Sasa mine is one of the largest zinc, lead and silver mines in Europe, producing approximately 30,000 tonnes of lead, 22,000 tonnes of zinc and 400,000 ounces of silver in concentrates per annum. OBL's entitlement under the Sasa stream applies to 100% of the payable silver production in exchange for US$5 per ounce (plus refining costs) of refined silver increased annually from 2017, based on inflation.

Update on operations

On January 9, 2020, Central Asia reported sales of 346,258 ounces of payable silver in 2019, including 91,671 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2019.

For more information on the Sasa mine, refer to Central Asia's press release dated January 9, 2020, entitled "2019 Operations Update" available on their website at www.centralasiametals.com.

Seabee Royalty (SSR Mining Inc.)

Osisko holds a 3% NSR royalty on the Seabee gold operations operated by SSR Mining Inc. ("SSR Mining") and located in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Update on operations

On January 15, 2020, SSR Mining reported that the Seabee gold operations achieved its fourth consecutive annual production record of 112,137 ounces of gold, exceeding the top end of guidance, as a result of higher gold grade, improved recoveries and drawdown of in-process inventories.

In 2019, the operation milled 344,040 tonnes of ore, a 2% decrease compared to 2018. During the year, average gold mill feed grade was 9.56 g/t, 4% higher compared to the average gold grade milled in 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the operation produced 22,069 ounces of gold, a 32% decrease from the third quarter primarily due to lower gold grades more than offsetting higher milling rates.  During the fourth quarter, 87,394 tonnes of ore were milled at an average gold grade of 7.89 g/t and recovery of 97.9%. This compares to 77,465 tonnes of ore milled at an average gold grade of 12.39 g/t and recovery of 98.8% in the third quarter of 2019.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

Amulsar Stream (Lydian International Ltd.)

Osisko, through OBL, owns a 4.22% gold stream and 62.5% silver stream on the Amulsar project, owned by Lydian International Ltd. ("Lydian") and located in southern Armenia. The Amulsar project is in the development and construction stage and Amulsar is expected to be Armenia's largest gold mine, with estimated mineral resources containing 3.5 million measured and indicated gold ounces and 1.3 million inferred gold ounces. The details of the mineral inventory can be found under Lydian International Ltd.'s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Gold production is targeted to average approximately 225,000 ounces annually over an initial 10-year mine life. OBL's entitlement under the Amulsar stream applies to 4.22% of refined gold production and 62.5% of refined silver until 89,034 ounces of refined gold and 434,093 ounces of refined silver are delivered to OBL. The stream agreement includes ongoing transfer payments by OBL to Lydian of US$400 per ounce of refined gold and US$4.00 per ounce of refined silver delivered under the stream subject to a 1% annual increase starting on the third anniversary of commercial production.  Lydian has the option to buy back a portion of the stream by one of the following options:

(i) the stream percentage may be reduced by 50% on the second anniversary of commercial production for US$55.0 million (US$34.4 million attributable to OBL); or

(ii) the stream percentage may be reduced by 50% on the third anniversary of commercial production for US$50.0 million (US$31.3 million attributable to OBL).

Update on corporate activities

In December 2019, Lydian announced that it had applied to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") in order to restructure its business and financial affairs.  In January 2020, the court has extended the protection until March 2, 2020.

Since June 2018, illegal blockades have prevented access to the company's Amulsar project in Armenia. Despite its many public statements that there is no legal basis on which to prevent the company's development of the Amulsar project, the Government of Armenia has failed to remove the illegal blockades. As a result, the company's lenders were not prepared to further extend a previously announced forbearance agreement, which expired on December 20, 2019.

While under CCAA protection, Lydian intends to continue discussions with its lenders and others, including the Government of Armenia, to seek to maximize the outcome for all stakeholders including the hundreds of employees, contractors and suppliers affected by the ongoing illegal blockades. Lydian also intends to pursue: (a) an end to the illegal actions which have resulted in Lydian's inability to access the Amulsar project; (b) financing and/or sale options for the Amulsar project; and (c) finalizing financing discussions with respect to potential foreign investment arbitration proceedings against the Government of Armenia.

In 2019, Osisko incurred impairment charges of US$61.2 million ($79.8 million) on its Amulsar stream and offtake interests (refer to section Impairment of Assets of this MD&A).

For more information on the CCAA proceedings and the Amulsar project, refer to Lydian's press releases available on their website (www.lydianinternational.co.uk) and filed on www.sedar.com.

Impairment of assets

Renard mine diamond stream (Stornoway Diamond Corporation)

In March 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine in Québec, Canada, announced a significant impairment charge of $83.2 million on its Renard diamond mine reflecting an outlook of lower than expected diamond pricing. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at March 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $38.9 million ($28.6 million, net of income taxes) on the Renard diamond stream.

On March 31, 2019, the Renard diamond stream was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $122.4 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Renard diamond stream is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices per carat and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.7%.

In September 2019, the operator of the Renard diamond mine, Stornoway Diamond Corporation, announced that it had applied to the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division) for protection under the CCAA in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at September 30, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $47.2 million ($34.6 million, net of income taxes) on the Renard diamond stream.

On September 30, 2019, the Renard diamond stream was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $70.2 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Renard diamond stream is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of diamonds from the Renard diamond stream over the estimated life of the Renard diamond mine, based on expected long-term diamond prices per carat and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.6%.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term diamond price and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term diamond price per carat applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $7.0 million ($5.1 million, net of income taxes). If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $3.0 million ($2.2 million, net of income taxes).

Amulsar stream and offtake (Lydian International Limited)

In September 2019, Lydian International Limited announced a delay in the timing of the construction activities, expected first gold pour and ramp up to full production as a result of the 15-month blockade on construction as well as changes to the expected life of mine and annual production for the Amulsar project in Armenia. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at September 30, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of US$9.9 million ($13.1 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake.

On September 30, 2019, the Amulsar stream and offtake were written down to their estimated recoverable amount of US$73.7 million ($97.0 million), which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Amulsar stream and offtake is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold and silver from the Amulsar stream and offtake over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices per ounce of US$1,350 and US$17.75, respectively, and a post-tax real discount rate of 6.1%.

In December 2019, Lydian International Limited announced that it had applied to the Ontario Superior Court for protection under the CCAA in order to restructure its business and financial affairs. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at December 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of US$51.3 million ($66.7 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

On December 31, 2019, the Amulsar stream and offtake were written down to their estimated recoverable amount of US$22.3 million ($29.0 million), which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using discounted cash-flows approaches and estimated probabilities of different exit scenarios from CCAA. The fair value of the Amulsar stream and offtake is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold and silver from the potential amendment of the Amulsar stream over the estimated life of the Amulsar mine, based on expected long-term gold and silver prices per ounce of US$1,400 and US$17.50, respectively, a post-tax real discount rate of 10.1% and potential amendments of the Amulsar stream agreement resulting from probability weighted exit scenarios from the CCAA process.  .

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term gold and silver prices and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term gold and silver prices per ounce applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$2.0 million ($2.6 million). If the probabilities of the different scenarios had been 10% lower (negative) than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$4.5 million ($5.8 million). If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of US$1.6 million ($2.1 million).

In addition, an impairment of US$3.6 million ($4.7 million) was taken on a note receivable and amounts receivable from Lydian.

Éléonore royalty (Newmont Corporation)

In February 2020, the operator of the Éléonore gold mine in Québec, Canada, announced that it has updated its mineral reserve and resource estimates for the Éléonore mine as at December 31, 2019. As a result of the update, proven and probable gold mineral reserves and resources decreased by approximately 50%. This was considered an indicator of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at December 31, 2019. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $27.2 million ($20.0 million, net of income taxes) on the Éléonore NSR royalty for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On December 31, 2019, the Éléonore NSR royalty was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $101.3 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a discounted cash-flows approach. The fair value of the Éléonore NSR royalty is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the main valuation inputs used are significant unobservable inputs. The main valuation inputs used were the cash flows expected to be generated by the sale of gold received from the Éléonore NSR royalty based on the long-term annual gold production of 355,000 ounces over the estimated life of the Éléonore mine, the long-term gold price of US$1,400 per ounce and a post-tax real discount rate of 4.1%, adjusted for the decrease in reserves and resources.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term gold price and the post-tax real discount rate (in isolation). If the long-term gold price applied to the cash flow projections had been 10% lower than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $10.1 million. If the post-tax real discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 100 basis points higher than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $4.2 million.

Coulon zinc project (exploration and evaluation assets)

On December 31, 2019, the Company incurred an impairment charge of $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on its Coulon zinc project in Canada for which the Company determined that further exploration and evaluation expenditures are no longer planned in the near term and that the carrying amount of the asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from a sale of the project at the current time. On December 31, 2019, the Coulon project was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $10.0 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using a market approach, based on a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent for comparable sales transactions realized.

Net investment in Falco Resources Ltd.

On September 30, 2019, the Company determined that its net investment in Falco, an associate, was impaired. This determination was made considering, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the volatility of the share price and the business outlook for the investee, including factors such as the current and expected status of the investee's development projects. The net investment in Falco was written down to its estimated fair value and, therefore, an impairment charge of $12.5 million ($10.8 million, net of income taxes) was recorded under other gains (losses), net on the consolidated statements of loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Osisko Mining Inc.

Osisko Mining is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on its Windfall Lake gold project. Osisko holds a 2.0% - 3.0% NSR royalty on the Windfall Lake gold project, for which a positive preliminary economic assessment was released in July 2018, and a 1% NSR royalty on other properties held by Osisko Mining. A feasibility study on the Windfall Lake property is expected in 2020.

In May 2018, Osisko Mining released a first mineral resources estimate on Windfall Lake gold deposit. Osisko Mining indicated that mineral resources were estimated at 601,000 ounces of gold in the measured and indicated category (2,382,000 tonnes grading 7.85 g/t Au) and 2,284,000 ounces of gold in the inferred category (10,605,000 tonnes grading 6.70 g/t Au). In November 2018, Osisko Mining released a mineral resource update including the mineral resource update for the Lynx zone. Estimated measured and indicated resources were increased to 754,000 ounces of gold (2,874,000 tonnes grading 8.17 g/t Au) and inferred mineral resources were increased to 2,366,000 ounces of gold (10,352,000 tonnes grading 7.11 g/t Au).

Falco Resources Ltd.

Falco's main asset is the Horne 5 gold project, for which a positive feasibility study was released in October 2017. For more information, refer to Falco's press release dated October 16, 2017 and entitled: "Falco Announces Positive Feasibility Study Results on Horne 5 Gold Project" and filed on www.sedar.com.

In 2018, Osisko entered into a binding term sheet to provide Falco with a senior secured silver stream credit facility ("Falco Silver Stream") with reference to up to 100% of the future silver produced from the Horne 5 property ("Horne 5") located in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec. As part of the Falco Silver Stream, Osisko will make staged upfront cash deposits to Falco of up to $180.0 million and will make ongoing payments equal to 20% of the spot price of silver, to a maximum of US$6 per ounce. The Falco Silver Stream will be secured by a first priority lien on the Project and all assets of Falco.

The Falco Silver Stream was closed in February 2019, which triggered the payment of the first installment of $25.0 million to Falco. Two previously outstanding notes receivable amounting to $20.0 million were applied against the first installment and the remaining balance of $5.0 million was paid to Falco. Interests receivable amounting of $1.8 million related to these loans were settled in exchange for 5,353,791 additional common shares of Falco.

On February 22, 2019, Osisko entered into an agreement to provide Falco with a secured senior loan of $10.0 million. The loan bears interests at a rate of 7%, compounded quarterly. The principal amount and accrued interests shall be payable on December 31, 2020. The loan will be used for the advancement of the Horne 5 Project and for general corporate purposes.

On August 16, 2019 Falco provided an update on the development of the project. As part of the risk assessment for the dewatering phase, Falco has collaborated with its principal neighbor (the "Neighbor"), the owner of the mining concessions, on an initial geotechnical program to gather information and analyze the risks associated with the development of the Horne 5 project. Both parties met in July and agreed to continue collaborating by sharing information and initiate a second phase of geotechnical work which will be conducted by Falco and will include the Quemont area.  The objective is to collect and analyze geotechnical information in order to assess the risks inherent to the eventual dewatering phase of the Horne 5 project and then develop adequate mitigation measures that will protect the integrity of the Neighbor's operation.

In addition to being subject to the applicable legal framework, the development of the Horne 5 project is subject to a contractual framework whereby the obtaining of the required license to operate from its Neighbor is subordinated to the entering into a comprehensive financial guarantee arrangement with the Neighbor in order to provide adequate financial protection to this operation.  Once this condition precedent will be achieved, Falco and its Neighbor will establish a work plan for the further development of the Horne 5 project, including operational parameters to be complied with by Falco in order to maintain the primacy of the Neighbor's operation, the whole, in accordance with the agreed upon contractual framework.  Based on the foregoing, Falco will not be carrying any dewatering activities prior to finalizing a satisfactory comprehensive financial guarantee framework with its Neighbor and thereafter agreeing on a mutually satisfactory work plan for the conduct of such activities. A comprehensive financial guarantee framework has been submitted to its Neighbor, but needs to be finalized.

For more information, refer to Falco's press release dated August 19, 2019 entitled: "Falco provides Horne 5 project development update" and filed on www.sedar.com.

On February 11, 2020, Falco announced the acquisition of Golden Queen Mining Consolidated Ltd. ("Golden Queen"). Through this non-cash transaction, Falco is offering a 15% premium on the forecasted net cash balance of Golden Queen of $4.2 million at the closing of the transaction, in consideration for the issuance of 15,968,075 common shares of Falco  to holders of Golden Queen shares.

For more information, refer to Falco's press release dated February 11, 2020 entitled: "Falco Resources Ltd. to acquire Gold Queen Mining Consolidated Ltd." and filed on www.sedar.com.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company holds 41,385,240 common shares representing a 19.9% interest in Falco (17.8% as at December 31, 2018). The Company concluded that it exercises significant influence over Falco and accounts for its investment using the equity method.

Sustainability Activities

Osisko views sustainability as a key part of its strategy to create value for its shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Company focuses on the following key areas:

  • Promoting the mining industry and its benefits to society;
  • Maintaining strong relationships with the Federal government and the Provincial, Municipal and First Nations governments in Québec;
  • Supporting the economic development of regions where Osisko operates (directly or indirectly through its interests);
  • Supporting university education in mining fields and employee development;
  • Promoting diversity throughout the organization and the mining industry; and
  • Encouraging investee companies to adhere to the same areas of focus in sustainability.

As part of its investment analysis process, the Company evaluates the risk and performance of the investee companies in the sustainability areas on projects where Osisko has a direct or indirect interest.

Mining Exploration and Evaluation / Development Activities

As a result of the 2016 earn-in agreements with O3 Mining Inc. ("O3 Mining") (see below), the exploration and evaluation activities had been significantly reduced. During the year ended December 31, 2019, investments in mining assets and plant and equipment amounted to $6.3 million, mostly on the Cariboo gold project and the Bonanza Ledge Phase 2 project, and the Company received previously claimed tax credits of $0.3 million.

Cariboo gold project.

On November 21, 2019, Osisko acquired the Cariboo gold project located in the historical Cariboo Mining District of central British Columbia, Canada, through the acquisition of Barkerville (refer to the section Acquisition of Barkerville and Creation of North Spirit Discovery Group of this MD&A). Osisko plans to advance the Cariboo gold project through its North Spirit Discovery Group platform.

In September 2019, Barkerville filed an independent preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 for its 100% owned Cariboo gold project. The PEA provides a base case assessment of developing the project as an underground ramp-access mine with a gold pre-concentration plant in Wells and gold processing in its existing upgraded Quesnel River mill, for an after-tax internal rate of return of 28%. For more information, refer to Barkerville's NI 43-101 Technical Report dated September 17, 2019 and entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Cariboo Gold Project", filed on www.sedar.com under Barkerville's profile.

In July 2019, Barkerville filed a mineral resource estimate update for the Cariboo gold project, including the Cow, Island and Barkerville Mountain deposits. Measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated at 2.4 million ounces of gold (13.2 million tonnes grading 5.6 g/t Au), a 50% increase from the 2018 resource. Inferred mineral resources are estimated at 1.9 million ounces of gold (12.0 million tonnes grading 5.0 g/t Au). The mineral resource estimate incorporates the Cow and Valley Zones on Cow Mountain, Shaft and Mosquito Creek Zones on Island Mountain and BC Vein and Bonanza Ledge on Barkerville Mountain at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au. The resource is defined over 6 kilometres of Barkerville's 67-kilometer-long land package. Osisko plans a $10.0 million infill and exploration program in 2020 at Cariboo. For more information, refer to Barkerville's NI 43-101 Technical Report dated July 11, 2019 and entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Cariboo Gold Project, British Columbia, Canada, filed on www.sedar.com under Barkerville's profile.

Over the next two years, Osisko will carry on site activities on the Cariboo gold property, invest in exploration activities (approximately $12.0 million planned in 2020), reclaim certain historical sites and advance technical studies towards a feasilbity study.

Coulon zinc project

On December 31, 2019, the Company incurred an impairment charge of $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on its Coulon zinc project in Canada for which the Company determined that further exploration and evaluation expenditures are no longer planned in the near term and that the carrying amount of the asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from a sale of the project at the current time. On December 31, 2019, the Coulon project was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $10.0 million, which was determined by the fair value less cost of disposal using comparable transactions realized, based on a dollar value per thousand pounds of mineral reserve/resource of zinc equivalent.

Properties under earn-in agreements (James Bay area)

In 2016, Osisko entered into earn-in agreements with Osisko Mining. On July 5, 2019, Osisko Mining completed a spinout transaction, which resulted in, among other things, Osisko Mining transferring certain assets to O3 Mining, including properties under earn-in agreements with Osisko.

Under the Kan earn-in agreement, Osisko Mining had the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kan property (comprised of the Kan and Fosse Au properties) upon completing expenditures totaling $6.0 million over a 7-year period. The Company received notice from Osisko Mining in the first quarter of 2019 that the threshold had been reached. Therefore, a 100% interest in the Kan property was transferred to Osisko Mining (now held by O3 Mining) and Osisko holds an escalating NSR royalty ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% on precious metals and a 2.0% NSR royalty on other metals and minerals produced from the Kan property.

Under other earn-in agreements, O3 Mining may earn a 100% interest in most of Osisko's exploration properties located in the James Bay area and Labrador Trough (excluding the Coulon copper-zinc project) upon completing expenditures of $26.0 million over the initial 7-year period; O3 Mining may earn a first 50% interest upon completing expenditures totaling $15.6 million over the initial 4-year period. Osisko will retain an escalating NSR royalty ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% on precious metals and a 2.0% NSR royalty on other metals and minerals produced from the 26 properties. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Osisko Mining and O3 Mining invested approximately $2.0 million on these properties for a total to date of $6.6 million (excluding the Kan property).

New properties acquired by O3 Mining in a designated area during the remaining of the 7-year term will be subject to a royalty agreement in favour of Osisko with similar terms.

As at December 31, 2019, the net book value of the properties under the earn-in agreements amounted to $31.7 million.

Gold Market and Currency

Gold Market

Gold prices gained 18% in 2019, the biggest annual increase since 2010. Prices have posted a major increase closing 2019 at US$1515 per ounce compared to the last pm fix of the previous year of US$1279 per ounce.  The average price for the year was nearly US$125 per ounce higher at US$1,393 per ounce compared to US$1,268 per ounce in 2018. Gold had started the year on a steady note but a strong rally was initiated during the second quarter of 2019 from a low of U$$1266 per ounce in early May to a high of US$1565 per ounce in September, hitting a six-year high. Gold started 2020 on a bullish note and broke the US$1600 per ounce for the first time in seven years after a surge in tensions in the Middle East, driven by the U.S.-Iran confrontation, before retreating slightly. Gold was up in 2019 mainly driven by a tariff war between the United States and China, which triggered monetary policy easing by major central banks. Deteriorating global economic outlook, ongoing uncertainties with political tensions and trade wars boosted sentiment towards gold.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the gold price gained 2.0% in U.S. dollars, or US$30 per ounce on the London pm fix, to close at US$1,515 per ounce. The average price amounted to US$1,481 per ounce, up from the previous quarter average price of US$1,472 and US$255 higher on a year-over-year basis.

Currency

After ending 2018 on a weaker tone, the Canadian dollar rebounded in January 2019 following a recovery in oil prices and other commodities. The Canadian dollar lost its momentum later in February and March as domestic demand has been weaker than expected. From March to May, the dollar was locked in a narrow range of 1.3250-1.3530, but in June, the Canadian dollar saw its biggest gain against the U.S. dollar with an appreciation of 4%. The Canadian dollar remained relatively stable during the third and fourth quarters of 2019, but established strong gains by late December.

The Canadian dollar was the best performing major currency in 2019 gaining 5% against the U.S. dollar. Foreign-exchange volatility dropped to record lows and the Canadian dollar was locked in a narrow range of 1.3000 to 1.3600. The Canadian dollar traded between a range of 1.2988 and 1.3330 in the fourth quarter of 2019 to close at 1.2988 on December 31, 2019. The Canadian dollar averaged 1.3200 in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 1.3204 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

As expected, the Bank of Canada kept the overnight rate unchanged to a target of 1.75% at its October and December meetings.

Total revenues, including offtakes, decreased, mainly as a result of the sale of the Brucejack gold offtake on September 15, 2019 and the conversion of the Matilda gold offtake to a stream on April 1, 2018. Under the offtake agreements, the metal is acquired from the producers at the lowest market price over a certain period of time (quotational period), and is subsequently sold by OBL, resulting in a net profit that will usually vary between 0% and 5% of the sales proceeds. The profit margin is highly impacted by the volatility of commodity prices during the quotational period.

Gross profit amounted to $82.7 million in 2019 compared to $66.6 million in 2018. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the gold and silver prices in 2019, which increased the cash margins. Depletion expense decreased by $5.6 million mainly as a result of the mix of sales in 2019 compared to 2018 as well as the impairment on the royalty, stream and offtake interests that decreased the carrying value of the assets to be depleted.

In 2019, the Company incurred an operating loss as a result of impairment charges on royalty, stream and other interests of $193.6 million, including impairment charges of $86.1 million on the Renard diamond stream interest, an impairment charge of $79.8 million on the Amulsar stream and offtake interests, an impairment charge of $27.2 million on the Éléonore royalty and an impairment charge of $50.0 million on the Coulon zinc project. Excluding the impairment charges, operating income would have been 60.4 million compared to $52.8 million in 2018. The increase in operating income in 2019 of $7.6 million (excluding the impairment charges) is mainly the result of a higher gold price, which generated a higher gross margin. The increase in G&A expenses and business development expenses is mainly due to a higher share-based compensation expense, mainly related to the restricted and deferred share units, higher amortization from the right-of-use assets, lower costs recovery from associates and severance payments.

In 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $234.2 million compared to 105.6 million in 2018. The variance is mainly due to the operating loss in 2019 and the impairment charge of $10.8 million (net of income taxes) on the net investment in Falco. Excluding the impact of the impairment charges (net of income taxes), the net loss in 2019 would have been $17.7 million.

Adjusted earnings were $41.9 million in 2019 compared to $31.4 million in 2018. The increase was mainly the result of a higher gross profit, partially offset by higher G&A expenses and business development expenses.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in 2019 was higher at $91.6 million compared to $82.2 million in 2018, mainly as a result of higher cash margins in 2019 and higher payments of $2.5 million for settlement of restricted and deferred shares units in 2018.

2019 – Annual Report

(a) Revenues are comprised of the following:

**** Years ended December 31,
**** 2019 2018
Average selling price<br>per ounce / carat ($) Ounces / carats sold Total revenues<br>($000's) Average selling price per ounce /<br>carat ($) Ounces /<br>Carats sold Total revenues<br>($000's)
Gold sold 1,817 174,185 316,549 1,649 260,286 429,243

Other (paid in cash) - - 9,959 - - 12,015
392,599 490,472

(i) The diamonds were sold by an agent for Osisko for a blended selling price of $100 (US$75) per carat in 2019 ($120 (US$93) in 2018). The average selling price includes 29,991 incidental carats sold outside of the run of mine sales at an average price of $18 (US$13) per carat in 2019 (15,775 incidental carats at an average price of $21 (US$16) per carat in 2018). Excluding the incidental carats, 149,580 carats were sold at an average price of $116 (US$88) per carat in 2019 (99,741 carats at an average price of $136 (US$105) per carat in 2018).

The decrease in gold ounces sold in 2019 is mainly the result of the sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019 and the conversion of the Matilda offtake into a stream on April 1, 2018. The increase in silver ounces sold in 2019 is mainly the result of higher silver ounces acquired under the offtake agreements. The increase in diamonds sold in 2019 is mainly the result of a higher number of diamonds acquired and sold under the Renard stream.

(b) Cost of sales represents mainly the acquisition price of the metals and diamonds under the offtake and stream agreements, as well as minimal refining, insurance and transportation costs related to the metals received under royalty agreements. The decrease in 2019 is mainly the result of sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019 and the conversion of the Matilda offtake into a stream on April 1, 2018.

(c) The royalty, stream and other interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the properties or the life of the agreement. The decrease is due to the mix of sales in 2019 compared to 2018 as well as the impairment on the royalty, stream and offtake interests that decreased the carrying value of the assets to be depleted.

All values are in US Dollars.

(e) G&A increased to $23.7 million in 2019 compared to $18.2 million in 2018. The increase in G&A expenses is mainly due to a higher share-based compensation expense, mainly related to the restricted and deferred share units, higher amortization from the right-of-use assets, lower costs recovery from associates and severance payments.

(f) Business development expenses increased to $6.1 million in 2019 compared to $4.5 million in 2018. The increase is mainly due to higher share-based compensation expense related to the restricted share units and lower cost recoveries from associates.

(g) In 2019, the Company sold back its Brucejack offtake to the operator of the mine for US$41.3 million ($54.8 million) and generated a gain on the sale of US$5.8 million ($7.6 million). In 2018, the Company received the proceeds of US$118.5 million ($159.4 million) from the operator in regards to its election to exercise its option to fully repurchase the Brucejack gold and silver stream, which resulted in a gain on disposal of a stream interest of US$6.8 million ($9.1 million).

(h) In 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges of $86.1 million ($63.2 million, net of income taxes) on its Renard diamond stream, US$61.2 million ($79.8 million) on its Amulsar stream and offtake interests, $27.2 million ($20.0 million, net of income taxes) on its Éléonore royalty and $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on its Coulon zinc project. The impairment charges are explained in the Impairment of assets section of this MD&A.

In 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $166.3 million ($123.7 million, net of income taxes), including $158.2 million ($117.5 million, net of income taxes) on royalty, stream and other interests, $0.8 million to write-off an amount receivable from the operator of an impaired asset and $7.3 million ($5.4 million, net of income taxes) on exploration and evaluation assets.

(i) Other expenses, net, of $91.4 million in 2019 include finance costs of $23.5 million, a share of loss of associates of $22.2 million and losses on investments of $48.4 million (mainly from a net loss on disposal of investments (related to the Barkerville shares held prior to the acquisition)) and an impairment charge of $12.5 million ($10.8 million, net of income taxes) on its net investment in Falco), partially offset by interest and dividend income of $4.6 million.

Other expenses, net, of $27.2 million in 2018 include finance costs of $26.0 million and a share of loss of associates of $9.0 million, partially offset by interest income of $4.4 million and a net gain on investments of $2.6 million.

(j) The effective income tax rate for 2019 is 14.7% compared to 25.0% in 2018. The statutory rate is 26.6% in 2019 and 26.7% in 2018. The elements that impacted the effective income taxes are the non-taxable (or deductible) part of capital gains (or losses) (50%) and non-deductible expenses. Cash taxes of $0.8 million were paid in 2019 and 2018 million and were related to taxes on royalties earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2019, the Company's cash position amounted to $108.2 million compared to $174.3 million as at December 31, 2018. Significant variations in the liquidity and capital resources in 2019 are explained below under the Cash Flows section.

The uncommitted accordion is subject to standard due diligence procedures and acceptance of the lenders. The Facility is to be used for general corporate purposes and investments in the mineral industry, including the acquisition of royalty, stream and other interests. The Facility is secured by the Company's assets, present and future (including the royalty, stream and other interests).

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities in 2019 amounted to $91.6 million compared to $82.2 million in 2018.  The increase is mainly the result of higher cash margins (revenues less cost of sales) in 2019 resulting from higher gold and silver prices.

Fourth Quarter Results

  • Revenues from royalties and streams of $38.9 million ($51.0 million including offtakes) compared to $30.7 million ($115.3 million including offtakes) in the fourth quarter of 2018;
  • Gross profit of $23.9 million compared to $15.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018;
  • Impairment charge on royalty, stream and other interests of $93.9 million ($86.7 million, net of income taxes), including US$51.3 million ($66.7 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake interests and $27.2 million ($20.0 million) on the Éléonore royalty, compared to impairment charges of $166.3 million ($123.7 million, net of income taxes) in the fourth quarter of 2018;
  • Impairment charge of $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on the Coulon zinc project;
  • Operating loss of $129.9 million compared to $147.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018;
  • Net loss of $155.2 million or $1.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to $113.9 million or $0.73 per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2018;
  • Adjusted earnings^1^ of $10.3 million or $0.07 per basic share^1^ compared to $13.0 million or $0.08 in the fourth quarter of 2018; and
  • Cash flows provided by operating activities of $17.2 million compared to $18.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Revenues from royalties and streams increased by $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of higher gold and silver prices. Total revenues, including offtakes, decreased, mainly as a result of the sale of the Brucejack gold offtake on September 15, 2019.

Gross profit amounted to $23.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $15.8 million in the corresponding period of 2018. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the gold and silver prices in 2019, which increased the cash margins. Depletion expense decreased by $1.1 million mainly as a result of the impairment on the royalty, stream and offtake interests that decreased the carrying value of the assets to be depleted.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred an operating loss as a result of impairment charges on royalty, stream and other interests of $93.9 million, including impairment charges of US$51.3 million ($66.7 million) on the Amulsar stream and offtake interests, $27.2 million on the Éléonore royalty and an impairment charge of $50.0 million on the Coulon zinc project. Excluding the impairment charges, operating income would have been $14.0 million compared to $19.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating income in 2019 of $5.1 million (excluding the impairment charges) is mainly the result of higher G&A expenses and business development expenses. The increase in G&A expenses and business development expenses is mainly due to lower costs recovery from associates and severance payments.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $155.2 million compared to $113.9 million in the corresponding period of 2018. The variance is mainly due to the higher operating loss in 2019 as well as a higher share of loss of associates and a net loss on disposal of investments (related to the Barkerville shares held prior to the acquisition). Excluding the impact of the impairment charges (net of income taxes), the net loss in 2019 would have been $26.2 million.

Adjusted earnings were $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly the result of a gain on disposal of a stream interest in 2018, higher G&A and business development expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in 2019 was $17.2 million compared to $18.6 million in 2018.

2019 – Annual Report

(a) Revenues are comprised of the following:

(ii) The diamonds were sold by an agent for Osisko for a blended selling price of $95 (US$72) per carat in the fourth quarter of 2019 ($103 (US$77) in the fourth quarter of 2018). The average selling price includes 9,881 incidental carats sold outside of the run of mine sales at an average price of $17 (US$13) per carat in the fourth quarter of 2019 (5,598 incidental carats at an average price of $19 (US$14) per carat in the fourth quarter of 2018). Excluding the incidental carats, 43,356 carats were sold at an average price of $112 (US$85) per carat in the fourth quarter of 2019 (24,377 carats at an average price of $122 (US$192) per carat in the fourth quarter of 2018).

The decrease in gold ounces sold in the fourth quarter of 2019 is mainly the result of the sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019. The increase in silver ounces sold in 2019 is mainly the result of higher silver ounces acquired under the offtake agreements. The increase in diamonds sold in 2019 is mainly the result of a higher number of diamonds acquired and sold under the Renard stream.

(b) Cost of sales represents mainly the acquisition price of the metals and diamonds under the offtake and stream agreements, as well as minimal refining, insurance and transportation costs related to the metals received under royalty agreements. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2019 is mainly the result of sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019.

(c) The royalty, stream and other interests are depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the properties or the life of the agreement. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2019 is mainly to the impairment on the royalty, stream and offtake interests that decreased the carrying value of the assets to be depleted.

All values are in US Dollars.

(e) G&A increased to $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in G&A expenses is mainly due to severance payments.

(f) Business development expenses increased to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase is mainly due to lower costs recovery from associates.

(g) In 2018, the Company received the proceeds of US$118.5 million ($159.4 million) from the operator in regards to its election to exercise its option to fully repurchase the Brucejack gold and silver stream, which resulted in a gain on disposal of a stream interest of US$6.8 million ($9.1 million).

(h) In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges of $US51.3 million ($66.7 million) on its Amulsar stream and offtake interests, $27.2 million ($20.0 million, net of income taxes) on its Éléonore royalty and $50.0 million ($37.6 million, net of income taxes) on its Coulon zinc project. The impairment charges are explained in the Impairment of assets section of this MD&A.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $166.3 million ($123.7 million, net of income taxes), including $158.2 million ($117.5 million, net of income taxes) on royalty, stream and other interests, $0.8 million to write-off an amount receivable from the operator of an impaired asset and $7.3 million ($5.4 million, net of income taxes) on exploration and evaluation assets.

2019 – Annual Report

(i) Other expenses, net, of $45.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 include finance costs of $6.2 million, a share of loss of associates of $7.5 million and losses on investments of $32.1 million (mainly from a net loss on disposal of investments related to the shares of Barkerville held prior to the acquisition), partially offset by interest income of $1.4 million.

Other expenses, net, of $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 include finance costs of $6.7 million and a share of loss of associates of $2.5 million, partially offset by interest income of $0.8 million and a net gain on investments of $1.0 million.

(j) The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019 is 11.3% compared to 26.1% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The statutory rate is 26.6% in 2019 and 26.7% in 2018. The elements that impacted the effective income taxes are the non-taxable (or deductible) part of capital gains (or losses) (50%) and non-deductible expenses. Cash taxes of $0.2 million were paid in the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018 million and were related to taxes on royalties earned in foreign jurisdictions.

Outlook

Osisko's 2020 outlook on royalty, stream and offtake interests is based on publicly available forecasts, in particular the forecasts for the Canadian Malartic mine published by Yamana and Agnico Eagle and for the Éléonore mine published by Newmont. When publicly available forecasts on properties are not available, Osisko obtains internal forecasts from the producers, which is the case for the Renard mine and the Mantos Blancos mine, or uses management's best estimate.

GEOs and cash margin by interest are estimated as follows for 2020:

**** <br> **** Low High Cash margin
**** (GEOs) (GEOs) (%)
Royalty interests 57,500 61,700 100
Stream interests 23,800 25,500 68
Offtake interests 700 800 3
82,000 88,000

For the 2020 guidance, silver, diamonds and cash royalties have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of US$1,450 per ounce of gold, US$17.00 per ounce of silver and US$70 per carat for diamonds from the Renard mine (blended sales price) and an exchange rate (US$/C$) of 1.30.

Corporate Update

On December 4, 2019, the Company announced that Bryan A. Coates was stepping down as President of the Company and Sandeep Singh was appointed President of the Company, effective December 31, 2019. The Company also announced that Elif Lévesque, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance of Osisko, had decided to leave the Company by the end of February 2020 to pursue other opportunities.

On February 11, 2020, the Company announced that the board of directors has appointed Mr. Frédéric Ruel as Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Finance, Mr. Iain Farmer as Vice President, Corporate Development and Mr. Benoit Brunet as Vice President, Business Strategy, effective February 20, 2020.

Segment disclosure

Following the acquisition of Barkerville in November 2019, the chief operating decision-maker organizes and manages the business under two operating segments: (i) acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests, and (ii) the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects. All of the Company's assets and revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment, with the exception of mining interests, plant and equipment, and exploration and evaluation assets, which are attributable to the exploration and development of mining projects operating segment. Prior to the acquisition of Barkerville, the Company had only one operating segment, which was the acquiring and managing precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests. The comparative figures have been restated to conform to the actual segments.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

Royalty, stream and other interests - Geographic revenues

All of the Company's revenues are attributable to the precious metal and other royalties, streams and similar interests operating segment.  Geographic revenues from the sale of metals and diamonds received or acquired from in-kind royalties, streams and other interests are determined by the location of the mining operations giving rise to the royalty, stream or other interest. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, royalty, stream and other interest revenues were mainly earned from the following jurisdictions:

For the year ended December 31, 2019, one royalty interest generated revenues of $61.1 million ($58.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018), which represented 44% of revenues (46% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018) (excluding revenues generated from the offtake interests).

For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues generated from precious metals and diamonds represented 94% and 5%, respectively, of total revenues (84% and 13% excluding offtakes, respectively). For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenues generated from precious metals and diamonds represented 96% and 3%, respectively, of total revenues (85% and 11% excluding offtakes, respectively).

Foreign exchange contracts

During the year December 31, 2019, the Company entered into foreign exchange contracts (collar options) to sell U.S. dollars and buy Canadian dollars for a total nominal amount of US$12.0 million. The contracts were put in place to protect revenues in Canadian dollars (from the sale of gold ounces received from royalty interests which are denominated in U.S. dollars) from a stronger Canadian dollar. The fair value of the contracts is booked at each reporting period on the consolidated balance sheets. As at December 31, 2019, there were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

Off-balance Sheet Items

There are no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

Outstanding Share Data

As of February 19, 2020, 157,595,427 common shares were issued and outstanding. A total of 4,917,924 share options and 5,480,000 warrants were outstanding to purchase common shares. A convertible debenture of $50.0 million with Ressources Québec entitles the holder to convert the debenture, at its option, into 2,620,545 common shares of the Company (conversion price of $19.08) at any time during the term of the debenture. Convertible senior unsecured debentures of $300.0 million are outstanding and convertible at the holder's option into Osisko common shares at a conversion price of $22.89 per common share, representing a total of 13,106,160 common shares if all the debentures were converted.

Subsequent Events to December 31, 2019

Dividends

On February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share payable on April 15, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is a royalty, stream, and offtake interests holder and investor that operates in an industry that is dependent on a number of factors that include environmental, legal and political risks, the discovery of economically recoverable resources and the conversion of these mineral resources to mineral reserves and the ability of third-party partners to maintain an economic production. An investment in the Company's securities is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. An investor should carefully consider the risks described in Osisko's most recent Annual Information Form and the other information filed with the Canadian securities regulators and the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as well as the additional risks listed below before investing in the Company's securities. If any of such described risks occur, or if others occur, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed and investors may lose a significant proportion of their investment.

There are important risks which management believes could impact the Company's business. For information on risks and uncertainties, please also refer to the Risk Factors section of Osisko's most recent Annual Information Form filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and the additional risks listed below.

Osisko may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses of Osisko and Barkerville and realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.

The acquisition of Barkerville is expected to strengthen the position of each entity in the mining exploration industry and to, among other things, combine the assets of both companies to realize certain benefits. Achieving the benefits of the transaction depends in part on the ability of the Osisko to (i) effectively fund and develop its mining projects even as market

conditions remain challenging for gold exploration and development companies, (ii) capitalize on its scale, (iii) realize the anticipated capital and operating synergies, (iv) profitably sequence the growth prospects of its asset base, (v) maximize the potential of its improved growth opportunities, and (vi) maximize capital funding opportunities. A variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in Barkerville's Management Information Circular dated October 15, 2019 (filed on www.sedar.com) may adversely affect the ability of Osisko and Barkerville to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction which could adversely affect the share price of Osisko shares.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

There are risks related to the integration of the existing businesses of Osisko and Barkerville.

The ability to realize the benefits of the acquisition of Barkerville including, among other things, those set forth in Barkerville's Management Information Circular dated October 15, 2019 (filed on www.sedar.com) under the heading "The Arrangement - Reasons for the Osisko Board and Barkerville Board Recommendations", will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner. This integration will require the dedication of substantial management effort, time and resources which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities of Osisko following completion of the acquisition, and from operational matters during this process which may result in a material adverse effect on the profitability, results of operations and financial condition of Osisko.

The Company’s Cariboo Gold project is subject to risks associated with mine development, which may result in delays in advancement of the project and unanticipated costs.

Risks and uncertainties inherent in all mining projects include the accuracy of mineral reserve and resource estimates, metallurgical recoveries, geotechnical and other technical assumptions, capital and operating costs and future commodity prices. Unforeseen circumstances, including those related to the size and grade of the mineralization at the development site, technological impediments to extraction and processing, legal requirements, governmental intervention, infrastructure limitations, environmental issues, local community relations or other events, could result in Cariboo Gold project becoming uneconomic. Also, actual costs and economic returns may differ materially from the Company’s estimates or the Company could fail or be delayed in obtaining the governmental permits and approvals necessary for execution of a project, in which case, the project may not proceed either on its original timing or at all.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company's disclosure controls and procedures ("DCP") including adherence to the Disclosure Policy adopted by the Company. The Disclosure Policy requires all staff to keep senior management fully apprised of all material information affecting the Company so that they may evaluate and discuss this information and determine the appropriateness and timing for public disclosure.

The Company maintains DCP designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under applicable Canadian securities laws and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating DCP, the Company recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and management is required to exercise its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the DCP during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the DCP. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company's management, including the CEO and the CFO, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") for the Company to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The fundamental issue is ensuring all transactions are properly authorized and identified and entered into a well-designed, robust and clearly understood accounting system on a timely basis to minimize risk of inaccuracy, failure to fairly reflect transactions, failure to fairly record transactions necessary to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS, unauthorized receipts and expenditures, or the inability to provide assurance that unauthorized acquisitions or dispositions of assets can be detected.

The CEO and CFO have also evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's ICFR as required by National Instrument 52-109 issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators and rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) as issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's ICFR was effective as of December 31, 2019.

On November 21, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Barkerville. Accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities of Barkerville are included in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and cash flows are reported in our consolidated statements of loss and cash flows from November 21, 2019 to December 31, 2019. We have elected to exclude Barkerville from the Company's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.  Barkerville represented approximately 9.9% of the consolidation total assets and had no revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company's ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company's policies and procedures.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such changes were identified through their evaluation.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, have audited the  Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and have issued an audit report dated February 19, 2020 on the Company's ICFR based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) as issued by COSO of the Treadway Commission.

Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of amendments to accounting standards and new accounting standards, which are presented below.

The significant accounting policies of Osisko are detailed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com.

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations

On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the guidance in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Under the amendments, the definition of a business is amended and requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term "outputs" is also amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. IFRS 3 also introduces an optional fair value concentration test. The amendments, which were effective at the latest for acquisitions completed by the Company after January 1, 2020, were early adopted on January 1, 2019.

New accounting standard - IFRS 16 Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, which is the customer ("lessee") and the supplier ("lessor"). IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and incurring a financing obligation corresponding to the lease payments to be made over time. Accordingly, for lessees, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as was required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model.

Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:

i) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and

ii) amortization of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of loss.

Management has reviewed all of the Company's leasing arrangements in light of the requirements of IFRS 16. The standard affects primarily the accounting for the Company's operating leases.

The Company applied the simplified transition approach and, consequently, did not restate comparative figures for 2018. Right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for non-cancellable operating lease commitments that amounted to $13.0 million.

The Company applies the exceptions for short-term leases and, as such, short-term leases for which commitments amounted to approximately $0.6 million as at December 31, 2018 continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of loss.

Right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on transition as if the new standard had been applied since the respective leases' commencement date but using the Company's incremental borrowing rate of 4.79% as at January 1, 2019.

The Company recognized right-of-use assets of $9.4 million on January 1, 2019 (presented under mining interests and plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet), lease liabilities of $10.0 million and deferred tax assets of $0.1 million. Overall, net assets were approximately $0.4 million lower, and net current assets were $0.7 million lower due to the presentation of a portion of the lease liability as a current liability. Since January 1, 2019, payments attributed to the principal portion of the lease liabilities are classified as cash flows from financing activities.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

The Company's activities as a lessor are not material.

New accounting standard - IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. IFRIC 23 explains how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. In particular, it discusses how to determine the appropriate unit of account, and that each uncertain tax treatment should be considered separately or together as a group, depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, that the entity should assume a tax authority will examine the uncertain tax treatments and have full knowledge of all related information, ie that detection risk should be ignored, that the entity should reflect the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax accounting when it is not probable that the tax authorities will accept the treatment, that the impact of the uncertainty should be measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value method, depending on which method better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, and that the judgements and estimates made must be reassessed whenever circumstances have changed or there is new information that affects the judgements. The adoption of IFRIC 23 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions as well as critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies are detailed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com.

Financial Instruments

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like discounted cash flows, the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. A description of financial instruments and their fair value is included in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com.

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures including "Adjusted Earnings" and "Adjusted Earnings per basic share" to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Basic Share

"Adjusted earnings" is defined as "Net loss" adjusted for certain items: "Foreign exchange gain (loss)", "Impairment of assets", "Gains (losses) on disposal of exploration and evaluation assets", "Unrealized gain (loss) on investments", "Impairment on financial assets and investments in associates", "Share of loss of associates", "Deferred income tax expense (recovery)" and other unusual items such as transaction costs.

Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the "adjusted earnings" divided by the "Weighted average number of common shares outstanding" for the period.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this MD&A may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements in this MD&A, other than statements of historical fact, that address future events, developments or performance that Osisko expects to occur including management's expectations regarding Osisko's growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, carrying value of assets, requirements for additional capital, mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue estimates, future demand for and prices of commodities, business prospects and opportunities and outlook on gold, silver, diamonds, other commodities and currency markets are forward-looking statements. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to mineral reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. 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 performance of the assets of Osisko, the estimate of gold equivalent ounces to be received in 2020, the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving from Osisko's investments and transactions, and Osisko's ability to seize future opportunities.  Although Osisko 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, most of which are beyond the control of Osisko, 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, streams, offtakes and investments held by Osisko; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; regulatory changes by national and local governments, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interests; the unfavorable outcome of litigation relating to any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interests; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Osisko; continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by operators of properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream 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 or other uninsured risks, and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream 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; the Company's ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Osisko 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; integration of acquired assets; 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 Annual Information Form of Osisko filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov which also provides additional general assumptions in connection with these statements.  Osisko cautions that the foregoing list of risk and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Investors and others should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Osisko believes that the assumptions 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 MD&A should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this MD&A. Osisko 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.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2019 – Annual Report

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding the Use of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates

Osisko is subject to the reporting requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result reports its mineral reserves according to Canadian standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties ("NI 43-101"). The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM"). U.S. reporting requirements are currently governed by the SEC's Industry Guide 7 ("Guide 7"). This MD&A includes estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources reported in accordance with NI 43-101. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Consequently, the definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" under CIM standards differ in certain respects from the standards of Guide 7. Osisko also reports estimates of "mineral resources" in accordance with NI 43-101. While the terms "Mineral Resource," "Measured Mineral Resource," "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are recognized by NI 43-101, they are not defined terms under Guide 7 and, generally, U.S. companies reporting pursuant to Guide 7 are not permitted to report estimates of mineral resources of any category in documents filed with the SEC. As such, certain information contained in this MD&A concerning descriptions of mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC pursuant to Guide 7. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured Mineral Resources or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Further, an "Inferred Mineral Resource" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility, and a reader cannot assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
