OSK-G17-363, and OSK-G17-397 were drilled in the eastern part of the 903 Zone, along the same section 2400W. OSK-G17-363 intersected two mineralized zones: 1.04 g/t Au over 15 metres in a quartz-iron carbonate breccia/iron carbonate + hematite altered metasediment; the second mineralized zone intersected 1.03 g/t Au over 6.0 metres within a strong albite-hematite altered porphyritic syenite.

OSK-G17-383, OSK-G17-418, and OSK-G17-432 were drilled above OSK-G17-352 to extend the mineralization previously intercepted in syenite dykes in that hole. OSK-G17-383 intersected a mineralized zone within albite-hematite + iron carbonate altered metasediment averaging 1.41g/t Au over 5.0 metres. OSK-G17-418 and OSK-G17-432 intercepted the same shear zone located at the contact between ultramafic rocks and a minor lamprophyre dyke returning 3.33 g/t Au over 2.5 metres and 2.17 g/t Au over 2.7 metres, respectively.

OSK-G17-387 and OSK-G17-425 were drilled in the same section 2850W in the central part of the 903 Zone. OSK-G17-387 intersected three mineralized zones: 2.39 g/t Au over 7.9 metres and 2.88 g/t Au over 9.0 metres associated with quartz veining, albite alteration and sulfides within a sub-vertical syenite dyke. The third mineralized zone returned 1.10 g/t Au over 32.4 metres, and is hosted by metasediments at the base of their discordant contact with ultramafic rocks. OSK-G17-425 intersected two mineralized zones: 1.53 g/t Au over 62.8 metres within a massive albite-hematite altered porphyritic syenite. The second mineralized zone is hosted within a shear zone in ultramafic rocks, with fragments of syenite and lamprophyre, averaging 10.18 g/t Au over 2.0 metres.

OSK-G17-390 intercepted 1.42 g/t Au over 4.0 metres associated with a minor brown dyke altered with albite and biotite, with quartz veinlets and pyrite dissemination. The hole also intercepted a wide syenite dyke with strong albite-hematite alteration and zones of abundant quartz veining, specularite and euhedral pyrite dissemination returning 2.65 g/t Au over 70.1 metres. OSK-G17-390 represents one of the best mineralized zones intercepted so far at the 903 Zone.

OSK-G17-392 was drilled 200 metres west of hole OSK-G17-387 and OSK-G17-425 in the central 903 Zone, intersecting two mineralized zones associated to iron carbonate + hematite altered metasediments, near the discordant contact between sediments and ultramafic rocks. The first interval averaged 2.66 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, and the second zone averaged 2.00 g/t Au over 14.7 metres. This deeper zone represents the strike extension of the zone described in OSK-G17-425 above.

OSK-G17-413, -416, -421 were designed to test the mineralized zone dipping below the Garrcon east bulk sample pit. OSK-G17-413 intersected 1.16 g/t Au over 7.0 metres and 4.99 g/t Au over 2.0 metres; OSK-G17-416 intersected 0.87 g/t Au over 29.5 metres; OSK-G17-421 intersected 1.40 g/t Au over 10.0 metres, 0.83 g/t Au over 31.5 metres, and 1.15 g/t over 27.0 metres. Mineralization is closely associated with the N-NE trending, east dipping, quartz iron carbonate veins, breccias and fractures showing albite, sericite, and iron carbonate alteration of the host rock. Local pyrite concentrations up to 2% along with local visible gold within the veins mark the most common mineralization seen.

OSK-G17-424 was an infill hole which intersected two mineralized zones: albite-hematite altered porphyritic syenite, with strong 2-5 cm quartz-carbonate veins, averaging 1.43 g/t Au over 10.7 metres; the second mineralized zone is hosted within iron carbonate + hematite altered metasediments near the contact with fuchsite altered ultramafic volcanics, averaging 1.81 g/t Au over 32.0 metres.

OSK-G17-428 intersected three mineralized zones hosted in syenite dikes, averaging 4.10 g/t Au over 2.6 metres; 2.24 g/t Au over 5.0 metres; and 0.82 g/t Au over 23.5 metres. The three dikes show typical 903 mineralization: quartz - carbonate veinlets with pyrite halos hosted by albite - hematite - carbonate altered syenite.

OSK-G17-429 was drilled in Garrcon, 100 metres southeast of the east bulk sample pit and intersected several mineralized intevals associated with vein and fracture zones with albite-hematite + iron carbonate haloes hosted by metasediments including: 1.64 g/t Au over 10.9 metres; 2.45 g/t Au over 6.0 metres; 3.73 g/t Au over 12.0 metres; 8.53 g/t Au over 2.0 metres; and 1.29 g/t Au over 17.0 metres.

OSK-G17-430 intersected 1.49 g/t Au over 6.7 metres within a strong albite-hematite + iron carbonate altered porphyritic syenite.

OSK-G17-431 intersected two mineralized zones consisting of strong albite-hematite altered porphyritic syenites with moderate quartz-carbonate veins, averaging 1.21 g/t Au over 17.7 metres and 3.41 g/t Au over 19.0 metres.

OSK-G17-433 intersected 6.01 g/t Au over 2.0 metres within sericite and iron carbonate altered metasediment.

OSK-G17-434 was drilled as an infill hole and intersected 3.78 g/t Au over 8.5 metres within a sheared albite-hematite-magnetite altered zone with mixed syenite and lamprophyre dykes.

OSK-G17-435 intersected two zones: mineralization within an albite-hematite + iron carbonate altered porphyritic syenite, averaging 5.12 g/t Au over 5.0 metres, and the second mineralization zone of green sericite - iron carbonate - pyrite alteration in weakly laminated metasediments near the contact with fuchsite altered ultramafic rocks, returning 3.21 g/t Au over 16.0 metres.

OSK-G17-439 intersected two mineralized zones: the first zone of 1.32 g/t Au over 17.5 metres, and the second zone of 2.72 g/t Au over 17.8 metres. Both zones are hosted by syenite dykes with strong albite-hematite alteration, quartz-carbonate veining and pyrite dissemination.

OSK-G17-440 intersected two mineralized zones in iron carbonate + sericite altered metasediment. The first zone of 1.62 g/t Au over 11.55 metres and the second zone, with stronger quartz-carbonate veining, returned 1.07 g/t Au over 9.35 metres.

OSK-G17-441 intersected two mineralization zones within albite-hematite altered porphyritic syenite averaging 1.24 g/t Au over 18.4 metres, and 3.85 g/t Au over 1.8 metres. This mineralization may represent an east extension of the mineralized zone intercepted in OSK-G17-390.

OSK-G17-446 intersected two mineralized zones: 14.9 g/t Au over 2.0 metres within altered metasediment with quartz-carbonate veinlets with local visible gold; and 1.60 g/t Au over 14.0 metres within grey sandstones with quartz-carbonate veinlets and sericite - iron carbonate halos.

OSK-G17-450 intersected 0.89 g/t Au over 28.0 metres, 13.0 g/t Au over 1 metre and one bonanza grade intercept of 521 g/t Au over 1 metre. Mineralization occurs in areas with patches of albite, sericite, and iron carbonate associated with quartz - carbonate veinlets hosted by sediments.

OSK-G17-452 intersected 1.62 g/t Au over 16.0 metres within a strong albite-hematite altered syenite, with quartz, carbonate veinlets, specularite and pyrite.

OSK-G17-455 intersected two mineralized zones: fuchsite altered ultramafic volcanics with quartz-carbonate veins averaging 2.95 g/t Au over 2.1 metres; the second zone consists of a porphyritic syenite with strong albite alteration and quartz-carbonate veinlets averaging 1.07 g/t Au over 17.7 metres.

OSK-G17-464 intersected 8.67 g/t Au over 2.5 metres within ultramafic volcanics with strong quartz-carbonate veining.

OSK-G17-469 intersected 1.47 g/t Au over 20.89 metres in a mineralized zone with albite-hematite altered syenites intercalated with chlorite + sericite altered ultramafic volcanics with strong quartz-carbonate veining.

Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Corporation as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

About the Garrison Project

The Garrison Project area is comprised of 214 mineral claims, 25 mining leases, and 87 patent claims encompassing approximately 8,000 hectares. Both Garrcon and Jonpol have resource estimates that are described in a technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which was completed by a previous operator Northern Gold Mining Inc. (entitled "Technical Report on the Golden Bear Project - Garrison Property: Larder Lake Mining Division, Garrison Township, Ontario, Canada") dated December 30, 2013, with an effective date of December 30, 2013 (the "Garrison Technical Report"). The Garrison Technical Report was prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited for Northern Gold Mining Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko) and is available on Osisko's website at www.osiskomining.com and on SEDAR under Northern Gold Mining Inc.'s issuer profile at www.sedar.com.

Resource estimates were conducted by A.C.A. Howe International Limited according to CIM standards. The Garrcon Zone estimates showed 15.1 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.07 g/t Au (521,000 oz) in measured resources; 14.1 million tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au (526,000 oz) in indicated resources; and 1.7 million tonnes averaging 0.72 g/t Au (39,000 oz) in inferred resources. Potential underground resources of 5.1 million tonnes averaging 3.49 g/t Au (577,000 oz) in the inferred category were also outlined. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au for open pit extraction and 1.5 g/t in a bulk underground mining scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

At the Jonpol Zone, resources were estimated as 0.87 million tonnes averaging 5.34 g/t Au (150,000 oz) in the indicated category; and 1.07 million tonnes averaging 5.56 g/t Au (192,000 oz) in inferred resources. Resources were reported at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au and assume an underground extraction scenario using a gold price of US$1,250/oz.

Readers are cautioned that inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Garrcon Zone

The Garrcon Zone has a shallow plunge eastward along the footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone with the bulk of the resource in the western, more densely drilled area. The zone is exposed at surface and has potential for open pit bulk mining at an estimated overall stripping ratio of 1.8:1. There is potential for additional underground resources below the pit and along the easterly plunge of the zone, which is open for further exploration down dip and along strike.

The Garrcon shaft was sunk in 1935 and 1936 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada ("Cominco") and the Shaft and South Zones were tested for high grade gold mineralization. Cominco drove approximately 1,430 metres of drifts and cross cuts, mining underground veins. Diamond drilling by Cominco and Lac Minerals Ltd. in the mid-to-late 1980s identified broad sections of low grade mineralization. In 2006-2007, ValGold Resources Ltd. conducted additional drilling confirming these zones. From 2009-2013 Northern Gold Mining Inc. conducted 97,000 metres of diamond drilling which delineated the current resource.

In 2014, Northern Gold Mining Inc. was granted a trial mining permit allowing the extraction of up to 150,000 tonnes. Northern Gold Mining Inc. mined 73,534 dry tonnes which was processed at the nearby Holt mill facility recovering 3,516 oz at an average head grade of 1.55 g/t and recovery of 95.9%.

Jonpol Zone

Jonpol is situated in the Munro Fault Zone, a west striking splay off the north side of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Hosted in a shear zone tens of metres wide in altered mafic volcanic rocks, the deposit consists of four high grade gold mineralized zones (JP, JD, RP and East) over a strike length of 1.7 kilometers. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz carbonate veins, in mafic and ultramafic host rocks, and is associated with intense albite and/or sericite alteration and pyrite mineralization.

In 1997, a 49,087 tonne bulk sample was extracted from the central part of the JP zone by Hillsborough Resources Limited with an average grade of 6.7 g/t which produced 9,476 ounces Au. From 1985-2013, over 130,000 metres of drilling was completed on the property by previous operators. Development work on the JP zone included the sinking of a 184 metre shaft as well as development of a ramp to the 150 metres level with mining on six sublevels. The Jonpol infrastructure underwent reclamation in the late 1990s and was closed out in 2001, but the existing ramp and shaft are preserved.

903 Zone

This third mineralized zone present at Garrison was not included in the resource estimate reported by the previous operator in 2013. Mineralization at the 903 was discovered in 1945 by Wright-Hargreaves Mines Ltd. In 1988 Lac Minerals acquired the claims covering the current 903 Zone and completed 17 drill holes totaling 4,823 metres. The property was optioned in 1990 to Jonpol and T&H Resources and subsequently returned to Lac Minerals in 1991. Northern Gold acquired the claims from a subsidiary of Barrick Gold in 2013, conducting surface exploration and six drill holes.
