Jason Attew: I am joined on the call today by Frdric Ruel, the company's Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, as well as Heather Taylor, our VP of Sustainability and Communications, as well as my other colleagues, as indicated on slide 3. When looking at Osisko's first quarter of 2025, we've had a solid start as it relates to gold equivalent ounces earned, cash margin, cash flows, as well as overall debt reduction. Osisko earned 19,014 geos in the first quarter, which puts us on track to achieve our previously published full year 2025 geo delivery guidance range of 80,000 to 88,000 gold equivalent ounces.

Joelle: Cisco earned 19014 Geos in the first quarter, which puts us on track to achieve our previously published full year 2025 G O delivery guidance range of 80000 to 88000 gold equivalent ounces.

Jason Attew: Recall that we had being very explicit about the fact that due to sequencing in some of our major producing assets including the Malartic and Mantos Blancos, the first quarter was always expected to be our weakest of the year, with sequential quarter over quarter improvements in aggregate geo deliveries expected for the rest of the year. Osisko's operating cash flows for the period came in at an impressive $46.1 million at a cash margin of 97.1% during the period.

Joelle: This is because operating cash flows for the period came in at an impressive $46 1 million and a cash margin of 97, 1% during the period.

Jason Attew: And while our corporate development team remains busier than ever, and in some cases on some really sizable transactions, we didn't announce anything major during the period. However, we did complete a handful of smaller transactions, which we believe, over the course of time, will be viewed as astute transactions with operating partners we know and trust. Osisko ended the first quarter with $63.1 million in cash and net debt is now being reduced to just over $10 million after the company continued to pay down its revolving credit facility during the period.

Jason Attew: And with that, I'll pass it back to Jason. Thanks so much, Heather. Now moving on to the company's financial performance for quarter one. Quarterly revenues of $54.9 million tracked higher versus the same period last year, largely thanks to increased commodity prices. Earnings of $0.14 per basic common share for the period also marked a significant year-over-year improvement. Most importantly, Q1 2025 saw a year-over-year improvement in both cash flow per share at $0.25 versus $0.20 in Q1 last year, as well as quarterly adjusted earnings of $0.16 per basic common share, again versus $0.12 in Q1 of 2024.

Jason: And with that I'll pass it back to Jason.

Jason Attew: During the first quarter of 2025, our GOs earned came predominantly from Canada and we derived over 93% of our gold equivalent ounces from precious metals. Gold at just under 67% and silver at just over 26%. The balance came from copper and almost entirely associated with Osisko's copper stream at Mack Copper's CSA mine.

Jason: During the first quarter of 2025, our Geos earned came predominantly from Canada, and we derived over 93% of our gold equivalent ounces from precious metals.

Jason: All in just under 67% and silver at just over 26%.

Jason: The balance came from copper and almost entirely associated with the Cisco is copper stream at Mac copper CSA mine.

Jason Attew: Some comments on specific mine performances during the quarter before speaking about a couple of more material assets in greater detail. Canadian Malartic had a very good quarter, especially when considering the asset outperformed versus our own internal forecast, given the work on site associated with in-pit tailings disposal was completed faster than anticipated. That said, Canadian Mark Malartic's first quarter is still expected to be the weakest quarter of the year, as telegraphed previously by our operating partner Ignico Eagle. At Capstone Copper's Mantos Blancos operation, Q1 production was slightly lower year-over-year, largely due to lower silver grades at the front of the year.

Jason: Some comments on specific mine performances during the quarter before speaking about a couple of more material assets in greater detail.

Jason Attew: as we previously flagged on our previous conference call in mid-February. We are once again pleased to report that the throughput levels remained at nameplate capacity of 20,000 tonnes per day. and that the anticipation is now that the silver grades trend back upwards for the remainder of the year. Finally, the handover at Newmont to Dilmar at Eleanor has been quite seamless, at least as it relates to Osisko's gold equivalent ounces earned in Q1 2025, which actually saw a bump over the same period last year. Congratulations to Dilmar on his acquisition and we very much look forward to working along with them as a partner in the James Bay region and at Eleanor for many more years to come.

Speaker Change: Moving to slide eight.

Speaker Change: And as I mentioned earlier, the number of currently producing assets in our portfolio stands at 22.

Jason Attew: Diving a little bit deeper into that number, we are happy to announce that subsequent to quarter end, Osisko received its first royalty payment from Talisker Resources, with mining now having commenced at Rahlorn, over which Osisko has a 1.7% NSR royalty. Further to this, and touching briefly on Nandimi, the asset is currently in what the controlling parent Shengdengold defines as trial production, ahead of the ramp-up to steady state later this year. As we previously noted, and based on the current trajectory of the asset, Osisko still expects to start receiving its first meaningful royalty payments from the asset in the second half of this year.

Speaker Change: Diving, a little bit deeper into that number we're happy to announce that subsequent to quarter end Cisco received its first royalty payment from telescope resources with mining now having commenced at bralorne.

Speaker Change: As we previously noted and based on the current trajectory of the asset a Cisco still expects to start receiving its first meaningful royalty payments from the asset in the second half of this year.

Jason Attew: Moving to slide nine, our company continues to distinguish itself from the rest of its relevant peers in two key areas. first as it relates to jurisdictional exposure. And second, Osisko's peer-leading cash margin. Starting with the former, just a friendly reminder that Osisko is the leader when it comes to both NAV and GOs earned from what we define as Tier 1 mining jurisdictions. which include Canada, the United States, and Australia. Moving to the latter, Osisko shareholders can remain confident that the company's exposure to current high precious metal prices provides them with both transparent leverage as well as potential downside protection.

Jason Attew: Switching gears to slide 10, and focusing on our cornerstone asset, the Canadian Malartic Complex was a key source of news in Ignico Eagle's Q1 2025 results. announced a couple of weeks ago. As it relates to operations during the period, gold production was solid with higher grade source from the Barnett pit. partially offset by a lower volume of tons milled. As previously noted, in-pit tailings deposition resumed in March of 2025 and is expected to ramp up in its design capacity. to its design capacity in the second quarter of this year. As such, this work is no longer expected to serve as any kind of impediment to production for the remainder of 2025.

Jason Attew: On the development front in the first quarter of 2025, ramp development reached the bottom of the first mining horizon at East Gouldie. Evacuation of the mid-shaft loading station between levels 102 and 114 commenced, and the temporary service hoist was commissioned. Both the ramp and the shaft remain on schedule. Exploration drilling continued to extend the East Gouldie deposit to the east and extend the newly discovered subparallel eclipse zone.

Jason Attew: Moving to slide 11, it's worth reminding everybody that in recent public forums, IGNICO continues to be vocal about the potential for a future second shaft at Odyssey Underground. which would serve as the key component to being able to drive eventual annual production from the complex to one million ounces. At the same time, it is our understanding that as exploration and engineering work remains ongoing to eventually achieve these goals, it is likely that the next major update on these two fronts will come in the second half of 2026. In the meantime, we'll all continue to watch in amazement as the underground...

Speaker Change: Onto slide 12, which touches on Delek Ranga a high grade underground gold asset for which Cisco acquired a one 8% gross revenue royalty towards the end of last year.

Jason Attew: On March 17, Spartan Resources, along with Remelius Resources, a mid-tier Australian-listed Western Australian gold producer, announced that the two companies had entered into a binding transaction implementation deed, under which it was proposed that Remelius will acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of Spartan that it did not already own. As you can see on the slide, this is a smart combination of complementary and proximate assets. with significant work already undertaken to optimize the synergies between Remelius's magnet mine and its operating checkers mill. and Spartans, De La Garanga, and Yalgu Project. The scheme of arrangement is expected to close in July of this year.

Speaker Change: Spartans delegate Ranga and Yale group projects the scheme of arrangement.

Speaker Change: Arrangement is expected to close in July of this year.

Jason Attew: For Osisko and its shareholders, what's really exciting about the situation is that both management teams have pointed to the fact that the underground development at Dalgoranga is already underway, and that the high-grade resource at the Never Never deposit could be processed through Remelius' checkers mills prior to the end of 2025. And for context, this is a full year ahead of what we had originally anticipated.

For Sysco and us shareholders, what's really exciting about the situation.

Speaker Change: Is that both management teams have pointed to the fact that the underground development at Dogger Ranga is already underway.

Speaker Change: And that the high grade resource at they never never deposit could be processed through Roumelia says checkers mills prior to the end of 2025 and.

Jason Attew: Moving to Osisko Development's caribou project in northern British Columbia on slide 13.

Speaker Change: Moving to the Cisco developments Caribou project in Northern British Columbia on Slide 13.

Jason Attew: It's half a world away from Dalgorango. Our partner released the results of its optimized feasibility study just over a week ago. This feasibility study included an average annual production of approximately 190,000 ounces of gold over a 10-year life of mine. 202,000 ounces in the first five years, with the potential for first gold in the second half of 2027, assuming construction commences in Q3 of 2025. Recall that this project is fully permitted and effectively shovel-ready, meaning that the required hurdles to move forward now revolve almost entirely around Osisko Development's ability to move forward with project finance.

Speaker Change: There's half a world away from Dell Durango.

Speaker Change: Our partner released the results of its optimized feasibility study just over a week ago.

Speaker Change: This feasibility study included an average annual production of approximately 190000 ounces gold over a 10 year life of mine too.

Speaker Change: 202.

Speaker Change: Recall that this project is fully permitted and effectively shovel ready meaning.

Speaker Change: Meaning that the required hurdles to move forward now revolve almost entirely around Cisco developments ability to move forward with project financing.

Jason Attew: Our congratulations to the Osisko development team on this key milestone for this sizable Canadian gold project. As a reminder, once in steady state production, Caribou would have the ability to deliver 9,000-10,000 gold equivalent ounces to Osisko thanks to our 5% NSR royalty on the project.

Speaker Change: Our congratulations to the Cisco development team on this key milestone.

Speaker Change: For this sizable Canadian Gold project is.

Speaker Change: As a reminder, once instead steady state production caribou would have the ability to deliver.

Speaker Change: Nine to 10000 gold equivalent ounces to Cisco, thanks to our 5% MSR royalty on the project.

Jason Attew: Finally of note is that Caribou is not currently included in Osisko's five-year outlook, as we wait more clarity on project finance. And this provides a good segue to slide 14. After a good start to the year, Osisko is in a good position to meet its 2025 Gold Equivalent Ounce Delivery Guidance of 80,000 to 88,000 GOs. We've also now included Browlarn as a paying contributor to this range for 2025. Touching briefly on the two blue bars to the right, and as just noted, Caribou is currently not included in our 2029 Outlook, but clearly could have the ability to move to the left as Osisko Development's financing initiatives continue to progress.

Speaker Change: Finally of note.

Speaker Change: Is that caribou is not currently included in our Cisco is five year outlook as we wait more clarity on project financing.

Speaker Change: Touching briefly on the two blue bars to the right and as just noted caribou is currently not included in our 2029 outlook, but clearly could have the ability to move to the left as a Cisco developments findings financing initiatives continue to progress.

Jason Attew: Along the same lines, another project to keep an eye on is Soledad's Resources Spring Valley Gold Project in Nevada. on which Osisko holds a 2 to 3.5% NSR royalty over the core of the deposit. The most recent update there is that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, has announced an expected release for a final environmental impact statement by July 11. In addition, the BLM is guided for a record of decision by August 11. Theoretically, this would. We expected to allow for project construction to commence as early as Q3 of 2025, similar to the Caribou Act.

Jason Attew: On slide 15, you'll see that our investee companies continue to make great strides in de-risking their assets that will accrue to our shareholders. Highlights of some of these efforts are provided on slide 15. of particular note. On this slide is Goldfield's most recently updated timeline for windfall, where final permitting along with other key project milestones, including an updated feasibility study, are expected in the second half of this year. With the final investment decision and the start of an 18 to 24 month construction process in the first quarter of 2026. Also worth touching on is the fact that our partners at Merrimacker Copper now expect to release a feasibility study for their MOD project in very short order.
