Please refer to the attached Figures 1, 2 and 3 (available at the following
address: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Malartic_Osisko_figs_0604.pdf) for
the locations of the individual holes listed in the above drillhole assay table.
The assay results for the other five (5) targets tested in the 2012 drill
program will follow in separate news releases over the coming weeks. In summary,
the 2012 drill program consisted of thirty-one (31) new drillholes in addition
to two (2) drillhole extensions, totalling 5,660.2 metres targeting six (6)
separate targets (for details please refer the Company's May 6, 2013 news
release).
All NQ core assays reported above were obtained by standard 50 g fire
assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Chemex laboratories in Val-d'Or,
Quebec. Reported drill core weighted averages were calculated using a minimum of
0.40 g/t Au over successive intervals of 20 metres. The lengths of mineralized
intervals of less than 20 metres were minimized, and an upper cut-off of 31 g/t
Au was applied to individual assays where indicated. Intervals containing
individual assays that are greater than six times the average of the interval
are included separately. Intersected drifts or lost core within mineralized
intersections were incorporated as blank intervals.
Osisko follows strict QA-QC protocol measures in keeping with industry standards

of Abitibi Royalties, is the Qualified Person (as such term is defined in
National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Mineral Disclosure) who has reviewed
