Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Description of the Business

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries 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 North American focused portfolio of 138 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 owns the Cariboo gold project in Canada and invests in equities of exploration and development companies.

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.

________________________________________________

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. Refer to the Portfolio of Royalty, Stream and Other Interests section for average metal prices used.

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Uncertainty due to COVID-19

The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as are the measures taken by governments, companies and others to attempt to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 may materially and adversely affect the Company's operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Several of Osisko's operating counterparties have announced temporary operational restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced activities and operations placed on care and maintenance. As of June 30, 2020, most operators have restarted their activities and have reached or are expected to reach their pre-COVID-19 level of operations in the near term, with the exception of the Renard diamond mine on which an impairment was taken during the three months ended March 31, 2020. However, in the current environment, the assumptions and judgements made by the Company are subject to greater variability than normal, which could in the future significantly affect judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management as they relate to potential impact of the COVID-19 and could lead to a material adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities affected. The impact of current uncertainty on judgments, estimates and assumptions extends, but is not limited to, the Company's valuation of its long-term assets, including the assessment for impairment and impairment reversal. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took action to protect its employees, contractors and the communities in which it operates. As part of the contingency plan developed by the Company, it closed its offices in March and provided employees with adequate equipment to allow them to safely work remotely from home. The Company has also suspended non-essential travels for all employees as well as non-essential work at its Cariboo gold project, including exploration and development activities. Exploration and development activities have recently resumed under strict health and safety measures.

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

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 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 underground deposits located below and adjacent to the Canadian Malartic mine.

Update on operations

On February 13, 2020, Agnico Eagle 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. On April 30, 2020, Yamana provided an updated guidance for Canadian Malartic for 2020 of 550,000 ounces of gold which takes into account the COVID-19 shutdown impact and subsequent ramp-up activities. Operations at the Canadian Malartic mine were placed on care and maintenance following the order by the Government of Québec to close all non-essential businesses in response to the COVID-19 outbreak from March 24 to April 14, 2020. Mining activities gradually resumed at the Canadian Malartic mine with health, hygiene and physical distancing measures implemented to meet or exceed the requirements of the Government of Québec, including the Québec department of Public Health and the Province's Committee on Standards, Equity, and Occupational Safety (CNESST). 

Yamana reported production of 113,750 ounces of gold during the second quarter at Canadian Malartic. The ramp-up progressed faster than expected after the temporary care and maintenance period and mill throughput in both May and June exceeded 60,000 tonnes per day, partially offsetting the impacts from the downtime and lower production rates during the ramp-up in April.

Update on exploration and evaluation activities

The Partnership continues to advance studies related to the underground mineral resources at Canadian Malartic, and it is continuing exploration efforts with 10 diamond drill rigs to define and expand underground mineral resources. Installation of surface infrastructure and development of an exploration ramp into Odyssey and East Malartic, with the purpose of eventually mining their respective upper zones and providing further exploration access to allow drilling in tighter spacing, is expected to begin in August 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 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au) 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 and 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 Au). 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 was 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. Yamana announced that this budget was increased from $25.0 million to $30.0 million to allow for additional drilling.

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 from the 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", Agnico's press release dated March 24, 2020 entitled "Agnico Eagle Provides Further Update on Québec and Nunavut Operations", Agnico Eagle's press release dated April 14, 2020 entitled "Agnico Eagle Provides Update on Resumption of Operations in Québec", Yamana's press release dated April 30, 2020 entitled "Yamana Gold Provides Revised 2020 Production Outlook" and Yamana's press release dated July 13, 2020 entitled "Yamana Gold Announces Preliminary Second Quarter 2020 Results; Further Balance Sheet Improvements; Ramp-Up At Canadian Malartic Completed Faster Than Anticipated With Record Tonnes Milled In May", all filed on www.sedar.com as well as the Canadian Malartic mine website at www.canadianmalartic.com


Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

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"). Osisko currently receives an NSR royalty of 2.2% on production at the Éléonore mine.

Update on operations

On December 2, 2019, Newmont provided 2020 guidance on the Éléonore mine of 355,000 ounces of gold. On March 23, 2020, Newmont withdrew its 2020 guidance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and on July 30, 2020, Newmont released new guidance of 190,000 ounces of gold for 2020 for Éléonore as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on production. In addition, during the Newmont second quarter 2020 earnings conference call held July 30, 2020, Newmont mentioned that it had revised its annual production target for Éléonore to 250,000 ounces of gold.

On March 23, 2020, the operation was placed into care and maintenance after consultation with the local First Nation communities in an effort to mitigate the risk of transmission of the virus to the remote northern communities and to comply with the Québec government's restriction on non-essential travel within the province. The Québec government lifted restrictions on April 14 and Newmont commenced engagement with the Cree First Nation Grand Council and the Cree Health Board to determine an acceptable path forward to protect its workforce and communities. In early May, Éléonore began ramping-up operations and the mill restarted at the end of May.

On February 13, 2020, Newmont updated its mineral reserve and resource estimates for the Éléonore mine as at December 31, 2019. Proven and probable gold mineral reserves and resources were reduced by approximately 50% compared to the last update (June 30, 2018) by Goldcorp Inc., after depletion. Proven and probable gold mineral reserves as of December 31, 2019 totaled 1.3 million ounces (7.4 million tonnes grading 5.31 g/t Au). Measured and indicated gold mineral resources as of December 31, 2019 were estimated at 0.4 million ounces (2.8 million tonnes grading 4.55 g/t Au). Inferred gold mineral resources as of December 31, 2019 were estimated at 0.6 million ounces (3.4 million tonnes grading 5.21 g/t Au).

For additional information, please refer to Newmont’s press release dated December 2, 2019 entitled “Newmont Provides 2020 and Longer-term Outlook” and Newmont press release dated February 13, 2020 entitled “Newmont Reports 2019 Gold Mineral Reserves of 100 Million Ounces, Largest in Company History”, Newmont’s press release dated May 5, 2020 entitled “Newmont Announces Solid First Quarter 2020 Results”, Newmont’s press release dated May 19, 2020 entitled “Newmont Provides Updated 2020 Outlook and Confirms Long-term Guidance” and Newmont’s press release dated July 30, 2020 entitled “Newmont Announces Solid Second Quarter 2020 Results”, all filed on www.sedar.com.

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 Gold Corp ("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 property covers an area of approximately 555 km2 and is the site of the company's Eagle Gold deposit. The Eagle Gold mine poured its first gold on September 18, 2019. The Eagle and Olive deposits include proven and probable reserves of 3.3 million ounces of gold at July 1, 2019, from 155 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 0.65 g/t Au, as outlined in a new Technical Report, dated December 6, 2019.  At July 1, 2019, the Eagle pit was estimated to contain 4.4 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated category (217 million tonnes averaging 0.63 g/t Au), inclusive of proven and probable reserves, and a further 0.4 million ounces in the inferred category (21 million tonnes averaging 0.52 g/t Au). The Olive pit was 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 for refining and Osisko received its first delivery under the royalty agreement in October 2019. Commercial production was declared on July 1, 2020.

Update on operations

On July 7, 2020, Victoria announced production of 13,828 ounces of gold for a total of 38,896 ounces of gold for the first half of 2020.

On July 14, 2020, Victoria provided inaugural guidance for the second half of 2020 of 85,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold. The range of the production provided takes into consideration both the continued material uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the final ramp up from commencement of commercial production through to full capacity production. The company expects gold production to continue to ramp-up to full capacity over the third and fourth quarters of 2020.

Mantos Blancos Stream (Mantos Copper Holding Sp)

Osisko owns a 100% silver stream on the Mantos Blancos mine, which is owned and operated by Mantos Copper Holding Sp ("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.

Under the stream, Osisko will receive 100% of the payable silver from the Mantos Blancos copper mine until 19.3 million ounces have been delivered (1.7 million ounces have been delivered at June 30, 2020), after which the stream percentage will be 40%. The purchase price for the silver under the Mantos Blancos stream is 8% 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.

Update on operations

As per Mantos, production of silver at the Mantos Blancos mine and concentrator plant for the second quarter of 2020 (189,979 ounces of payable silver) was lower than the first quarter of 2020 (205,375 ounces of payable silver), due to lower grade (7.74 g/t vs 8.38 g/t) and lower recovery (76.4% vs 80.1%), which was partially offset by higher material milled.

The Mantos Blancos Concentrator Debottlenecking Project ("MB-CDP") continued with detailed engineering, procurement and construction underway. The project progress has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in delays in engineering development and construction activities as well as delays in the delivery of key equipment items and material due to temporary closure or slowdown of fabricators. Preliminary impact is estimated at three months of delay in the main milestones. A re-scheduled plan with mitigation and recovery actions to minimize the schedule impacts is in preparation.

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 July 9, 2020, Central Asia reported sales of 176,655 ounces of payable silver in the first half of 2020.

For more information on the Sasa mine, refer to Central Asia's press release dated July 9, 2020, entitled "H1 2020 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 April 14, 2020, SSR Mining reported that the Seabee gold operations produced a record 29,521 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2020, a 34% increase from the fourth quarter of 2019, largely due to higher gold mill feed grade. Gold sales totaled 27,714 ounces for the first quarter.

On March 25, 2020, SSR Mining announced that its Seabee operation was undertaking a voluntary suspension of operations due to the threat of the COVID-19 virus and was placed into temporary care and maintenance. SSR Mining will continue to assess public health and government circumstances to determine whether to restart Seabee or extend the care and maintenance period.

SSR Mining's guidance for gold production at Seabee in 2020 was estimated between 110,000 to 120,000 ounces, prior to the mine being put on care and maintenance. Exploration expenditures at Seabee were estimated to total $12.0 million with a focus on expansion and definition of the Santoy Gap Hanging Wall and surface drill programs at the Seabee and Fisher properties following up on targets identified in 2019. The Fisher property is not covered by this royalty.

In April 2020, Osisko invested an additional $8.5 million to amend the silver stream to reduce the transfer price from US$2.75 per ounce of silver to nil. The amendment is effective for ounces deliverable after April 25, 2020.

Island Gold Royalty (Alamos Gold Inc.)

Osisko owns NSR royalties ranging from 1.17% to 2.55% on the Island Gold mine, operated by Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") and located in Ontario, Canada.

On December 11, 2019, Alamos provided its 2020 guidance for Island Gold of 130,000 to 145,000 ounces of gold. Due to COVID-19, operations were suspended on March 25, 2020 given the large portion of the workforce operating on a fly-in, fly-out basis and being housed within a camp located directly within the local community. Alamos withdrew its 2020 guidance on April 2, 2020. Island restarted the Island Gold mine operations in May 2020.

On July 29, 2020, Alamos updated its production guidance for Island Gold of 130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold following the impact of COVID-19.

On July 29, 2020, Alamos reported gold production of 19,400 ounces in the second quarter of 2020, compared to  38,800 ounces in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting the impact of COVID-19 as well as lower mining rates and grades mined and processed.

On July 14, 2020, Alamos reported results of the positive Phase III Expansion Study conducted on its Island Gold mine. Based on the results of the study, the company announced that it would be proceeding with an expansion of the operation to 2,000 tonnes per day ("Shaft Expansion"). This follows a detailed evaluation of several scenarios which demonstrated the Shaft Expansion as the best option, having the strongest economics, being the most efficient and productive scenario, and the best positioned to capitalize on further growth in mineral reserves and resources. The Phase III Expansion Study highlight a potential average annual gold production of 236,000 ounces per year starting in 2025 upon completion of the shaft, representing a 72% increase from the mid-point of previously issued 2020 production guidance. In addition, it forecast a 16-year mine life, double the current eight year mineral reserve life. This estimate is based on a mineable mineral resource of 9.6 million tonnes grading 10.45 g/t Au containing 3.2 million ounces of gold.

On July 13, 2020, Alamos reported additional high-grade intercepts beyond existing mineral resources across multiple areas of focus at Island Gold.

Renard Stream (Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) Inc.)

Osisko owns a 9.6% diamond stream on the Renard diamond mine operated by Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) Inc. ("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.

A credit bid transaction was closed on November 1, 2019 and Osisko became a 35.1% shareholder of the company holding the Renard diamond mine, Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) Inc., which is considered as an associate since.

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.

Update on operations

Stornoway announced in April that it has decided to keep the mine on care and maintenance for the time being, given the structural challenges still affecting the diamond market sales as well as the depressed prices for diamonds due to COVID-19. Osisko expects that Stornoway will seek to restart operations once favorable market conditions return.


For additional information, please refer to Stornoway's press release dated April 14, 2020 entitled "Stornoway Extends Care and Maintenance Period at Renard Diamond Mine", available on www.stornowaydiamonds.com.

Amulsar Stream (Lydian Canada Ventures Corporation)

Osisko, through OBL, owns a 4.22% gold stream and 62.5% silver stream on the Amulsar project, owned by Lydian Canada Ventures Corporation ("Lydian") and located in southern Armenia.

Update on corporate activities

Since June 2018, illegal blockades have prevented access to the company's Amulsar project. 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 and restore lawful access to the site.

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.  The court extended the protection until June 30, 2020.

In July 2020, the company was privatized to reduce the carrying costs while working to resolve the illegal blockades and restart construction activities. As a result of the reorganization, Osisko became a 23.4% shareholder of Lydian Canada Ventures Corporation, which is the private entity now holding the Amulsar project, an associate of Osisko.

For more information on the Back Forty project, refer to Aquila's web site (www.aquilaresources.com) and press releases filed on www.sedar.com.

Impairment of assets

Renard mine diamond stream (Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) Inc.)

In March 2020, the selling price of diamonds decreased significantly as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diamond market. On March 24, 2020, activities at the Renard diamond mine were suspended following the order by the Government of Québec to close all non-essential businesses in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, and on April 14, 2020, despite the announcement by the Government of Québec to include mining activities as an essential service, Stornoway announced the extension of the care and maintenance period of its operations due to depressed diamond market conditions. These were considered as indicators of impairment among other facts and circumstances and, accordingly, management performed an impairment assessment as at March 31, 2020. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $26.3 million ($19.3 million, net of income taxes) on the Renard diamond stream.

On March 31, 2020, the Renard diamond stream was written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $40.0 million, which was determined by the value-in-use using discounted cash-flows approaches and estimated probabilities of different restart scenarios. 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, the expected long-term diamond prices per carat, a post-tax real discount rate of 8.1% and weighted probabilities of different restart scenarios.

A sensitivity analysis was performed by management for the long-term diamond price, the post-tax real discount rate and the weighting of the different scenarios (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 $4.1 million ($3.0 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 $1.9 million ($1.4 million, net of income taxes). If the probabilities of the different restart scenarios had been 10% more negative than management's estimates, the Company would have recognized an additional impairment charge of $5.5 million ($4.0 million, net of taxes).

Equity Investments

The Company's assets include a portfolio of shares, mainly of publicly traded exploration and development mining companies. Osisko invests, and intends to continue to invest, from time to time in companies where it holds a royalty, stream or similar interest and in various companies within the mining industry for investment purposes and with the objective of improving its ability to acquire future royalties, streams or similar interests. In addition to investment objectives, in some cases, the Company may decide to take a more active role, including providing management personnel, technical and/or administrative support, as well as nominating individuals to the investee's board of directors. These investments are reflected in investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements and include mainly Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko Mining"), Osisko Metals Inc. ("Osisko Metals") and Falco Resources Ltd. ("Falco").

Osisko may, from time to time and without further notice except as required by law or regulations, increase or decrease its investments at its discretion.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Osisko acquired equity investments for $15.0 million and $24.8 million, respectively, and disposed of equity investments for $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

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 June 2020, Osisko Mining closed a $177 million "bought deal" brokered private placement. The net proceeds received from the placement will be used to advance the company's Windfall Lake gold project as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. Osisko participated in the private placement and bought 4,054,000 units for a subscription amount of $14.8 million. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holders to acquire one common share of Osisko Mining for 18 months from the closing date of the placement at a price of $5.25.

In February 2020, Osisko Mining announced an updated mineral resource estimate on Windfall Lake, increasing the indicated mineral resource estimate by 60% (added 452,000 ounces) and the inferred mineral resource estimate by 66% (added 1,572,000 ounces). The indicated mineral resources on the Windfall Lake gold project are now estimated at 1,206,000 ounces (4,127,000 tonnes grading 9.1 g/t Au) and inferred mineral resources are estimated at 3,938,000 ounces (14,532,000 tonnes grading 8.4 g/t Au), entirely above 1,200 metres vertical depth.

For more information, refer to Osisko Mining's press release dated February 19, 2020 entitled "Osisko Windfall Updated Mineral Resource Estimate", filed on www.sedar.com.

In addition, a positive preliminary economic assessment on the Windfall Lake project was released in July 2018 with an after-tax internal rate of return of 33%. In October 2018, through the construction of an exploration ramp, Osisko Mining achieved access to Zone 27, wireframe 115, which was selected for the initial 5,000 tonne bulk sample to be processed in the fourth quarter of 2018. In December 2018, Osisko Mining released preliminary results from the first 2,078 tonnes mined. Results from processing 5,500 tonnes mined from Zone 27 bulk sample returned an average grade of 8.53 g/t Au. The bulk sample average grade was 26% higher than predicted by infill drilling on the resource block model. In December 2019, Osisko Mining announced results from processing 5,716 tonnes mined from the Lynx Zone exceeded expectations, returning an average grade of 17.8 g/t Au. For more information, refer to Osisko Mining's press release dated July 17, 2018 entitled: "Osisko Delivers Positive PEA For Windfall Project", Osisko Mining's press release dated June 11, 2019 entitled "Osisko Windfall Zone 27 Bulk Sample Returns 8.53 g/t reconciled" and Osisko Mining's press release dated December 11, 2019 entitled "Osisko Lynx Bulk Sample Returns 17.8g/t Au reconciled head grade, all filed on www.sedar.com.

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 the regions in which it has significant assets;
  • 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

Cariboo gold project.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, investments in mining assets and plant and equipment amounted to $11.5 million and $26.4 million, respectively, mostly on the Cariboo gold property, including $1.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in exploration and evaluation activities. 

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. Osisko plans to advance the Cariboo gold project with partners 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.

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

In July 2019, Barkerville filed a mineral resource estimate update for the Cariboo gold project. 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-kilometre-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.

Presently, Osisko is carrying out on site activities on the Cariboo gold property, investing in exploration activities (approximately $10.0 million planned in 2020), reclaiming certain historical sites and advancing technical studies towards a feasibility study and permitting. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, exploration activities had been temporarily suspended at the Cariboo gold property to ensure the health and security of the employees, but have resumed activities in June.

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 Inc. ("O3 Mining"), including properties under earn-in agreements with Osisko. As a result of the earn-in agreements, the exploration and evaluation activities had been significantly reduced.

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 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, O3 Mining invested approximately $0.2 million on these properties for a total to date of $6.8 million.

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 June 30, 2020, the net book value of the properties under the earn-in agreements amounted to $31.7 million.

Coulon zinc project

The Coulon zinc project is located in the Middle North of the Province of Québec, Canada, and has a net book value of $10.0 million as at June 30, 2020.

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

(ii) To be determined ("tbd") on September 30, 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

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 June 30, 2020, the holders of 27.5 million common shares had elected to participate in the DRIP, representing dividends payable of $1.4 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 109,944 and 138,295 common shares, respectively, under the DRIP, at a discount rate of 3%. On July 15, 2020, 98,320 common shares were issued under the DRIP at a discount rate of 3%.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

In December 2019, Osisko renewed its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") program. Under the terms of the 2019 NCIB program, Osisko may acquire up to 13,681,732 of its common shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures of the TSX. Repurchases under the 2019 NCIB program are authorized until December 11, 2020. Daily purchases will be limited to 126,674 common shares, other than block purchase exemptions, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the common shares on the TSX for the six-month period ending November 30, 2019, being 506,698 common shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company purchased for cancellation a total of 429,722 common shares under the 2019 NCIB Program for $3.9 million (average acquisition cost of $9.15 per share). The Company did not purchase any common shares under the 2019 NCIB program during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Overview of Financial Results

Financial Summary - second quarter of 2020

  • Revenues from royalties and streams of $28.7 million ($40.8 million including offtakes) compared to $33.8 million ($131.6 million including offtakes) in Q2 2019;
  • Gross profit of $19.1 million compared to $19.7 million in Q2 2019;
  • Operating income of $11.6 million compared to $13.3 million in Q2 2019;
  • Net earnings of $13.0 million or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in Q2 2019;
  • Adjusted earnings4  of $5.7 million or $0.03 per basic share1 compared to $8.2 million or $0.05 per basic share in Q2 2019; and
  • Cash flows provided by operating activities of $15.4 million compared to $21.4 million in Q2 2019.

Revenues from royalties and streams decreased by $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by higher gold prices. Total revenues, including offtakes, decreased, mainly as a result of the sale of the Brucejack gold offtake on September 15, 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic impact, partially offset by higher gold prices. 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 $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to gross profit of $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease is mainly due to a lower cash margin as a result of lower deliveries of precious metals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by a higher gold price and lower depletion of royalty, stream and other interests.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company generated an operating income of $11.6 million compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. The lower operating income is the result of a lower gross profit and higher general and administrative ("G&A") expenses. G&A expenses increased in the second quarter of 2020 to $5.8 million compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of higher share-based compensation expense, higher professional fees and the integration of Barkerville to the consolidated results. Business development expenses decreased slightly to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2019.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company generated net earnings of $13.0 million compared to a net loss of $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. The variance is mainly due to a lower share of loss of associates of $7.3 million and a gain on dilution of investments of $10.4 million in 2020 compared to other net losses on investments in 2019, partially offset by a lower operating income in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted earnings1 were $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly the result of higher operating expenses, higher finance costs and a lower gross profit.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in the second quarter of 2020 was $15.4 million compared to $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Before changes in non-cash working capital items, cash flows from operations decreased to $18.6 million from $23.5 million, as a result of the lower cash margin and higher operating expenses.

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Financial Summary - first semester of 2020

  • Revenues from royalties and streams of $66.6 million ($93.4 million including offtakes) compared to $67.3 million ($232.3 million including offtakes) in the first semester of 2019;
  • Gross profit of $40.7 million compared to $37.9 million in the first semester of 2019;
  • Operating loss of $0.5 million compared to $15.1 million in the first semester of 2019;
  • Net loss of $0.3 million or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to $33.1 million or $0.21 per basic and diluted share in the first semester of 2019;
  • Adjusted earnings5 of $14.2 million or $0.09 per basic share1 compared to $14.1 million or $0.09 per basic share in the first semester of 2019; and
  • Cash flows provided by operating activities of $39.2 million compared to $46.1 million in the first semester of 2019.

Revenues from royalties and streams were relatively stable in the first semester of 2020 compared to the first semester of 2019, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as higher gold prices compensated for the reduced deliveries of precious metals under the royalty and stream agreements. Total revenues, including offtakes, decreased, mainly as a result of the sale of the Brucejack gold offtake on September 15, 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic impact, partially offset by higher gold prices. 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 $40.7 million in the first semester of 2020 compared to gross profit of $37.9 million in the first semester of 2019. The increase is due to a higher cash margin and lower depletion of royalties, streams and other interests. The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the deliveries of precious metals was compensated by a higher gold price for the first 6 months of 2020.

In the first semester of 2020, the Company incurred an operating loss of $0.5 million as a result of an impairment charge on the Renard diamond stream of $26.3 million ($19.3 million, net of income taxes). In the first semester of 2019, the Company had an operating loss of $15.1 million as a result of an impairment charge of $38.9 million on the Renard diamond stream interest ($28.6 million, net of income taxes). Excluding the impairment charges, operating income would have been $25.8 million in 2020 compared to $23.8 million in 2019, as a result of a higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The G&A expenses increased in the first semester of 2020 to $12.1 million compared to $10.5 million in the first semester of 2019 as a result of higher share-based compensation expense, higher professional fees and the integration of Barkerville to the consolidated results. Business development expenses decreased to $2.8 million in the first semester of 2020 compared to $3.5 million in the first semester of 2019 as a result of a lower salary charge.

During the first semester of 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $0.3 million compared to a net loss of $33.1 million in the first semester of 2019. The variance is mainly due to a lower operating loss of $14.6 million, a lower share of loss of associates of $7.3 million and a gain on dilution of investments of $10.4 million in 2020 compared to other net losses on investments in 2019.

Adjusted earnings1 were $14.2 million in the first semester of 2020, virtually unchanged compared to $14.1 million in the first semester of 2019. Higher gross profit was offset by higher operating expenses finance costs.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in the first semester of 2020 was $39.2 million compared to $46.1 million in the first semester of 2019, as a result of a negative impact of the non-cash working capital items in 2020. Before changes in non-cash working capital items, cash flows from operating activities were $46.5 million in the first semester of 2020 compared to $46.1 million in the first semester of 2019.

(i) The diamonds were sold by an agent for Osisko for a blended selling price of $91 (US$65) per carat in the first semester of 2020 ($105 (US$79) in the first semester of 2019). The average selling price includes 9,185 incidental carats sold outside of the run of mine sales at an average price of $19 (US$13) per carat in the first semester of 2020 (13,678 incidental carats at an average price of $19 (US$14) per carat in the first semester of 2019). Excluding the incidental carats, 39,111 carats were sold at an average price of $108 (US$88) per carat in the first semester of 2020 (71,795 carats at an average price of $121 (US$91) per carat in the first semester of 2019).

The decrease in gold ounces sold in 2020 is mainly the result of the sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019 as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (to a lesser degree). The increase in silver ounces sold in 2020 is mainly the result of higher silver ounces acquired under the stream and offtake agreements.

(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 2020 is mainly the result of sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019 and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (to a lesser degree).

(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 reduced deliveries of precious metals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the mix of sales in 2020 compared to 2019, the sale of the Brucejack offtake on September 15, 2019 as well as the impact of impairment on the royalty, stream and offtake interests recognized in 2019.

(e) G&A increased to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, and increased to $12.1 million in the first semester of 2020 compared to $10.5 million in the first semester of 2019, as a result of higher share-based compensation, higher professional fees and the integration of Barkerville to the consolidated results.

(f) Business development expenses decreased slightly to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2019. For the first semester of 2020, business development expenses decreased to $2.8 million from $3.5 million in the corresponding period of 2019, mainly as a result of a lower salary charge.

(g) During the first semester of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $26.3 million ($19.3 million, net of income taxes) on its Renard diamond stream. The impairment charge is explained in the Impairment of assets section of this MD&A.

Other expenses, net, of $1.3 million in the first semester of 2020 include finance costs of $13.5 million and a share of loss of associates of $3.2 million, partially offset by a net gain on investments of $11.4 million (including a gain on dilution of investments in associates of $10.4 million), interest revenues of $2.2 million and a foreign exchange gain of $1.7 million.

(i) The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 is 11.9% compared to 6.1% in the second quarter of 2019. The effective income tax rate for the first semester quarter of 2020 is 85.2% compared to 21.2% in the first semester of 2019. The statutory rate is 26.5% in 2020 and 26.6% in 2019. 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 $0.3 million and $0.5 million were paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2020, the Company's cash position amounted to $202.0 million compared to $108.2 million as at December 31, 2019. Significant variations in the liquidity and capital resources in the first six months 2020 are explained below under the Cash Flows section.

On April 1, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of 7,727,273 common shares at a price of $11.00 per common share for total gross proceeds of $85.0 million with Investissement Québec. The net proceeds from the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes. The common shares issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance. Fees related to the private placement amounted to $0.2 million.

The Company has a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") of $400.0 million with a maturity date of November 14, 2023. The Facility has an additional uncommitted accordion of up to $100.0 million for a total availability of up to $500.0 million. 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). In March 2020, the Company drew US$50.0 million on its credit facility to increase its liquidities in light of the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount outstanding as at June 30, 2020 was US$65.0 million ($88.6 million). As at June 30, 2020, the unused portion of the credit facility, excluding the $100.0 million accordion, was $311.4 million.

Operating Activities

Second quarter of 2020

Cash flows provided by operating activities in the second quarter of 2020 amounted to $15.4 million compared to $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2019.  The decrease is mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which reduced the cash margin (revenues less cost of sales) by $3.7 million. An additional $1.0 million is due to a negative impact of the non-cash working capital items and $0.9 million is due to higher G&A expenses. Before changes in non-cash working capital items, cash flows from operations decreased to $18.6 million from $23.5 million, as a result of the lower cash margin and higher operating expenses.

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

First semester of 2020

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first semester of 2020 amounted to $39.2 million compared to $46.1 million in the first semester of 2019.  The COVID-19 pandemic impacted negatively the sales for the second quarter of 2020, but it was more than offset by a higher cash margin during the first quarter of 2020 and higher realized gold prices. Before changes in non-cash working capital items, cash flows from operations increased slightly to $46.5 million from $46.1 million. The negative impact of the non-cash working capital items in 2020 is due to the payment of severance accrued in 2019, the payment of bonuses, higher amounts receivable and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities from suppliers.

Outlook

On March 23, 2020, given the uncertainties with respect to future developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 announced the withdrawal of its 2020 production guidance until further notice.

As the main mining assets on which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest have mostly returned to operations, Osisko has updated its guidance for the six months and the year ending December 31, 2020. This guidance excludes any potential impact on GEOs and cash margins if the Renard diamond mine would restart its operations in 2020 or if additional periods of care and maintenance were announced in light of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(i) Excluding any potential revenues from the Renard diamond mine for the six months ending December 31, 2020.

For the full year 2020 guidance, actual results were used for the first semester and added to the forecast for the second semester of the year. For the outlook of the last 6 months of 2020, silver and cash royalties have been converted to GEOs using commodity prices of US$1,900 per ounce of gold, US$22 per ounce of silver and an exchange rate (US$/C$) of 1.33.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Annual General Meeting

Due to public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the health and well-being of the Company's shareholders, employees, families and others who usually attend the annual meeting of shareholders, Osisko held its annual general meeting (the "Annual Meeting") virtually on June 22, 2020. At the Annual Meeting, each of the 9 nominees listed in the management information circular filed on May 20, 2020 with regulatory authorities were elected as directors of the Company. In addition, all resolutions submitted to a vote were approved by the shareholders.

Segment disclosure

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  (other than right-of-use assets), and exploration and evaluation assets, which are attributable to the exploration and development of mining projects operating segment.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, royalty, stream and other interest revenues were mainly earned from the following jurisdictions (in thousands of dollars):

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, one royalty interest generated revenues of $27.0 million ($30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019), which (excluding revenues generated from the offtake interests) represented 41% of revenues (44% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019).

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues generated from precious metals and diamonds represented 93% and 5% of revenues, respectively (90% and 7% excluding offtakes, respectively).

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 risk below. 

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the DCP. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company asked its employees to work from home. This change requires certain controls and procedures that were previously done or documented manually to be completed and retained in electronic form. Despite the changes required by the current environment, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, DCP.

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.


Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd

2020 - Second Quarter Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis

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.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company asked its employees to work from home. This change requires certain processes and controls that were previously done or documented manually to be completed and retained in electronic form. Despite the changes required by the current environment, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR.

Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except as otherwise disclosed 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 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 Company adopted IAS 1 on January 1, 2020, which did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements disclosures.

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 and in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, both 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 and in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, both filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on Osisko's website at www.osiskogr.com.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

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 earnings (loss)" adjusted for certain items: "Foreign exchange gain (loss)", "Impairment of assets", including impairment on financial assets and investments in associates, "Gains (losses) on disposal of exploration and evaluation assets", "Unrealized gain (loss) on investments", "", "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, any 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, the integration of acquired assets and the responses of relevant governments to the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of such response and 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 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

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.
