Osisko Metals Reports Promising Drilling Results from Gaspé Project
Exciting Drilling Developments at the Gaspé Copper Project
Osisko Metals Incorporated (the “Company” or "Osisko Metals") (TSX-V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; Frankfurt: 0B51) is thrilled to share their recent drilling outcomes from the 2025 drilling campaign at the Gaspé Copper Project located in Eastern Québec. This project is making waves due to its substantial copper mineralization findings from the latest drill holes.
Recent Drilling Highlights
The drilling program yielded impressive results, highlighting that drill hole 30-1059 attained a remarkable intersection of 300.0 metres grading 0.39% Cu and 3.17 g/t Ag. This intersection was located within the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) model, an area that previously had limited historical data. The results continue to surprise and satisfy the team at Osisko Metals.
Drill Hole Results Breakdown
This latest data revealed several prominent intersections from different drill holes, each adding vital information about the copper content and extending the known resource boundaries:
- **Drill hole 30-1060** reported 220.5 metres grading 0.29% Cu and 2.09 g/t Ag as well as extending to a further depth with 211.0 metres grading 0.42% Cu and 2.27 g/t Ag.
- **Drill hole 30-1063** found multiple significant intersections totaling 109.5 metres at 0.32% Cu and 2.52 g/t Ag and deepening further with 61.5 metres grading 0.33% Cu.
- **Drill hole 30-1069** uncovered 237.0 metres grading 0.32% Cu and 2.46 g/t Ag, as well as deeper extensions 148.8 metres grading 0.63% Cu and 4.40 g/t Ag.
- Additionally, **Drill hole 30-947**, an un-assayed historical hole, revealed significant intersections including 82.0 metres at 0.31% Cu and 2.55 g/t Ag.
These drill results are indicative of the potential for expanding the mineral resource more significantly than previously anticipated. The deposit's exploration reveals a favorable outlook as it extends towards the south and deeper into the mineralized zone, raising expectations for further discoveries.
Impact of Drill Results
Robert Wares, CEO of Osisko Metals, expressed enthusiasm regarding the initial results, stating, “We are very pleased with these new drill results at Gaspé, which have exceeded our expectations.” The data signifies not only successful drilling but also an expansion of mineralization, suggesting the resource remains open further along the southern zone of the deposit.
Mineralization Characteristics
As drilling continues, Osisko Metals is uncovering the geological nuances of the Gaspé project. The mineralization primarily occurs as disseminated copper and silver grades distributed among various geological formations, implicating a robust and valuable mineral system that may support significant future mining activity.
Additionally, drilling revealed the skarn/marble horizons at L1 (C Zone) and L2 (E Zone), both contributing to the high mineral content. Encouragingly, Wares also noted that drill core from historical resources has shown promising results, emphasizing the project's potential for extending its copper production horizons.
Future Plans for the Gaspé Project
The 2025 drilling program aims to convert resource estimates into the Measured and Indicated categories and explore the stratigraphic depths as well as lateral expansions towards Needle East and Needle Mountain. With the commitment to a 110,000-metre drill program, Osisko Metals appears set for a dynamic year, filled with robust exploration and potential resource extraction developments.
About Osisko Metals
Osisko Metals is a Canadian-focused exploration and development company dedicated to the mining of critical metals, notably copper and zinc. Through strategic acquisition and diligent exploration, Osisko acquired a 100% interest in the now-promising Gaspé Copper mine from Glencore Canada Corporation and is committed to revitalizing this resource.
Moreover, the company is advancing the Pine Point project in collaboration with Appian Capital Advisory LLP. As one of Canada's major past-producing zinc mining sites, current estimates suggest exceptional resource viability at Pine Point, further solidifying Osisko's standing in the resource sector.
