CORRECTION - Osisko Development Announces Positive Bulk Tonnage Ore Sorting Results for the Cariboo Gold Project

In a release issued under the same headline on July 7, 2025, by Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV), please note that the highlights section and eleventh paragraph have been updated to reflect the correct reference to gold recovery for the 6-10 mm fraction of "92%" instead of "95%". The corrected release follows:

HIGHLIGHTS

• X-ray transmission (XRT) ore sorter testwork of a ~80 tonne sample taken from the Cariboo underground achieved positive results consistent with 2025 FS parameters
• 42-55% waste rejection with 84-89% gold recovery achieved by sorting mid-size and oversize sample material including 10-30 mm and 30-70 mm size fractions, respectively
  • Encouraging results from testing the previously unassessed 6-10 mm size fraction, made possible by recent advancements in AI, demonstrated 59% waste rejection and 92% gold recovery, highlighting a potential opportunity for future optimization
• 2.0-2.1 upgrade ratio consistent with 2025 FS assumption of 1.95
• New testwork represents a significantly larger data set, with previous sorting totalling ~5 tonnes and completed largely on material sourced from drill core
• 76% of the contained gold in the test sample estimated to report to the fines fraction (<10 mm)
• Flowsheet optimization work, including a variability study to refine assumptions across the deposit, is contemplated to be completed as part of detailed engineering

MONTREAL, July 07, 2025 -- Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) ("Osisko Development" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results from an ore sorting testing program conducted on a bulk tonnage sample of mineralized material extracted from its permitted, 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project ("Cariboo" or the "Project"), located in central British Columbia ("B.C."), Canada. The testwork results demonstrate gold recoveries, mass pull, and upgrade ratios consistent with the assumptions outlined in the 2025 FS (as defined herein), and were conducted on a significantly larger scale than previous programs. Importantly, positive results on a previously untested smaller 6-10 mm size fraction may represent a meaningful opportunity for flowsheet optimization. Key summary results are presented in Table 1:

<sub><sup>1. Mass pull is defined as the percentage of total feed material retained for further processing, with waste rejection being the equivalent inverse measure.
2. Upgrade ratio is defined as the concentrate material grade (post-sorting) divided by the feed material grade (pre-sorting). Meaning if feed grade is x g/t Au an upgrade ratio of 2.0 would equate to 2x g/t Au in post-sorting material.</sup></sub>

The program, carried out by the Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") with support from TOMRA Sorting ("TOMRA") at SRC's testing facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, utilized an x-ray transmission sensor ("XRT") to evaluate ~80 tonnes of split material (representative of a ~400 tonne bulk sample) using a production-scale TOMRA COM 1200 Tertiary XRT machine. The ore sorter pre-concentrate circuit in the 2025 FS is designed to utilize an XRT sensor to separate unmineralized sandstone (waste rock) from the gold-associated sulfide material (metal bearing rock) based on atomic density. Since the XRT scanner detects sulfide material as high-density and waste as low-density, it can selectively divert marginal material away from the next processing stage at a low cost of approximately C$1-2 per tonne while generating a predominantly non-potentially acid generating ("NPAG") waste product.

Sample material, extracted from the underground Lowhee Zone, was initially crushed, screened and split to produce several particle size fractions for testing: (i) fines (<10 mm); (ii) mid-size (10-30 mm); and (iii) oversize (30-70 mm). Additional testing was carried out on a 6-10 mm particle size, which was previously unassessed and not part of the 2025 FS.

Methodologies and Additional Observations

• Overview. The completed ore sorter testwork represents one of the largest programs of its kind, using mineralized material taken directly from the underground. The objective was to further optimize and validate ore sorting parameters within the processing flowsheet, and inform areas for additional opportunities.
  • Previous ore sorter testwork used as the basis for the 2025 FS assumptions primarily relied on laboratory and pilot scale work that in aggregate totalled ~5 tonnes of material largely sourced from drill core samples.
• Methodology. Consistent with the parameters outlined in the 2025 FS and previous testwork, material was tested in separate size-based tranches. Fines particles of 10 mm or smaller bypassed the sorter, while particles between 10-30 mm and 30-70 mm underwent sorter testing. The sorter was set up for each size fraction by changing the ejection modules between runs with different particle sizes.
  • Each sample tranche was tested in a cascade-style test wherein sorter settings were adjusted between passes to evaluate the relationship between mass pull and recovery.
  • The latest software available from TOMRA was used including recent artificial intelligence (AI) developments implemented by TOMRA. This includes Tomra's "Deep Learning" algorithm, an AI function which uses the intensity of the XRT signal to estimate the depth dimension of a particle, improving the prediction in the 3rd dimension.
  • The five settings used to develop the cascade style test were: ultra-high (>50% of area is sulphide), high sulphide (greater than 20% area), medium sulphide (between 10% and 20% area), and low sulphide (between 5% and 10% area).
  • The first pass targeted the most x-ray responsive material, yielding the highest gold grade, but with lower overall recovery. Subsequent passes were conducted until a target mass pull of approximately 50% was achieved.
• Opportunities & Next Steps.
  • Testing on a subsample of the fines material consisting of 8 tonnes of the 6-10 mm size fraction, enabled by recent advancements in AI software, showed promising results including 92% gold recovery with a 41% mass pull (refer to Table 1). This size fraction was previously untested for ore sorting and may represent a material opportunity for future flowsheet optimization.
  • An estimated 76% of the gold reported to the fines size fraction in the ore sorter testwork sample, which is elevated relative to the 2025 FS assumption of 45% (see Figure 1), but would contribute to higher overall recoveries. Optimization of the fragmentation model is underway as part of detailed engineering, to refine the process flow sheet parameters.
  • A variability study is contemplated as part of detailed engineering to refine sorting assumptions across the deposit. This will include both laboratory scale work and tests on operating sized equipment.
    

Quality Assurance (QA) / Quality Control (QC)
The samples were received at SRC and screened into their separate size fractions (6-10 mm, 10-30 mm, and 30-70 mm). Each size fraction was assayed individually to generate a head assay for each of the tranches. During the processing of each tranche through the sorter, sub samples of product and waste were collected using a sample cutter and observed by Osisko Development's integrated owners team metallurgists. The sub-samples were sent to Base Met lab in Kamloops, B.C., Canada for standard 30g fire assay, in duplicate. For any assays with significant difference between the duplicates additional screen metallics fire assay was used.

Screen metallics fire assays are conducted on 1,000 g samples. The material is first screened on a 106 mesh screen and all the coarse material is assayed to extinction. The material passing through the screen is fire assayed in triplicate using 30 g samples and an AA finish.
