TORONTO, Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Group Inc. (NYSE: OGG, TSXV: OGG) ("Osisko Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new results from its ongoing definition infill drilling program on 10-15 metre ("m") target spacing totaling 3,933 m in 36 holes drilled from the 1290 m level in the Lowhee Zone of the Company's flagship, permitted, 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project (the "Project"), currently under construction in central British Columbia, Canada.

Chris Lodder, President, stated, "Ongoing underground infill drilling continues to strengthen our confidence in the Lowhee Zone of the Cariboo Gold deposit. Intercepts outside the modelled reserve stopes also suggest potential for resource conversion and upside mineralization, reinforcing the Cariboo Gold Project's potential as underground development advances into new zones."

Corporate Updates

In connection with the ongoing construction of the Cariboo Gold Project, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd., has awarded the continuing underground mine development and related works contract to current contractor JDS Energy & Mining Inc. ("JDS") effective October 5, 2026.
The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate of (i) 72,700 stock options of the Company (the "Options"), and (ii) 553,700 restricted share units of the Company ("RSUs") to certain newly hired senior officers and non-executive employees (collectively, the "Incentive Awards"), pursuant to the Company's omnibus equity incentive plan ("Omnibus Plan"). The Incentive Awards are designed to align the interests of the recipients with those of shareholders and support the execution of the Company's long-term growth strategy. The Options are exercisable at a price of C$4.00 per common share of the Company (based on the October 2, 2026, closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange) and will expire on October 5, 2031. The Options will vest in three equal installments over the next three years. The RSUs will cliff vest on October 5, 2029, and are subject to time and performance conditions.

ABOUT LOWHEE ZONE

Geological mapping and geochemical sampling were carried out on Barkerville Mountain from 2017-2018, with the Lowhee Zone identified as a high-priority drill target. From 2019 to 2022, a total of 167 surface drill holes were completed, totaling 54,494.5 m.

The Lowhee Zone is accessed through the Cow portal on the northwestern flank of Barkerville Mountain (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Cow portal construction was completed in Q4 2024 and development of the underground ramp into the Lowhee Zone commenced in Q1 2025. The probable mineral reserves estimate for the Lowhee Zone (with an effective date of April 10, 2025) includes 104,491 ounces of contained Au (923,162 tonnes grading 3.52 g/t Au) and represents approximately 5% of the total contained gold in the estimated probable mineral reserves for the Cariboo Gold Project.

ABOUT CARIBOO GOLD PROJECT

The Cariboo Gold Project is a permitted, 100%-owned feasibility-stage project currently under construction located in the historic Wells-Barkerville mining camp of central British Columbia, Canada. Spanning approximately 186,740 hectares, the Company's land package includes 443 mineral titles and covers an area that extends approximately 77 kilometres from northwest to southeast. In late 2024, the Project was granted the Mines Act and Environmental Management Act (British Columbia) permits, marking the successful completion of the permitting process for key approvals. On September 14, 2026, the Company announced a formal positive decision to proceed with the construction of the Project, with an expected first gold pour in Q1 2029 and commercial production in H2 2029.

Quality Assurance (QA) – Quality Control (QC)

All drill core was whole core sampled in on-site logging facilities following daily QAQC checks for logging and sampling errors. Quality control (QC) samples are inserted at regular intervals in the sample stream, including blanks and reference materials with all sample shipments to monitor laboratory performance. Samples are bagged, labelled, sealed with numbered security tags.

Samples are taken by expeditor from the logging facilities direct to MSALABS's analytical facility in Prince George, B.C., Canada, for preparation and analysis. MSALABS is independent of the Company. The MSALABS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. The entire sample is dried, crushed, and split into sealed containers. Analysis for gold is by gamma ray analysis using the Chrysos PhotonAssay (PA1408X). Samples are bombarded with gamma rays and the resulting signal is sent to the detectors.

Such forward-looking statements are identified with words such as "may", "will", "would", "could", "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "potential", "estimate", "propose", "project", "outlook", "foresee", "objective", "strategy", variants of these words or the negative or comparable terminology, as well as terms usually used in the future and the conditional. Information contained in forward-looking statements is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including the assumptions, qualifications, limitations or statements pertaining to: the utility and significance of the underground infill drilling results and the interpretation thereof; the interpretation and accuracy of intercepts outside modelled reserve stopes to suggest potential for resource conversion and upside mineralization (if at all); the potential for upside at depth and along strike of the known mineral resource footprint (if any); the interpretation and accuracy of spatial geometries, geological structure and local variability modeling and assumptions in regard to potential reserve or resource revisions (if at all); the ability and utility of exploration and infill drilling to inform resource modeling, mine planning, production stope design procedures and parameters, refinement of infill drill requirements, and the appropriate drill spacing for future infill drilling (if at all); the results (if any) of further exploration work and ability of the Company to define and expand mineral resources beyond current mineral resource estimates; mineral resource category conversion; the prospectivity of exploration in targets outside of currently defined mineral reserves and/or mineral resources; the performance of the underground mine development and related works contract with JDS and the advancement of underground development into new zones; the anticipated construction of the Cariboo Gold Project, including the expected timing of first gold pour and commercial production; the vesting, exercise and settlement of the Incentive Awards, including the satisfaction of applicable time and performance conditions; assumptions, qualifications and parameters underlying the Cariboo Technical Report (including, but not limited to, the mineral resources, mineral reserves, production profile, mine design and project economics); the results of the Cariboo Technical Report as an indicator of quality and robustness of the Cariboo Gold Project; the ability of the Company to achieve the estimates outlined in the Cariboo Technical Report in the timing contemplated (if at all); the future development and operations at the Cariboo Gold Project; management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments; the utility and significance of historic data, including the significance of the district hosting past producing mines; the ability of exploration work (including drilling and sampling) to accurately predict mineralization; the ability of the Company to complete its exploration and development objectives for its projects in the timing contemplated and within expected costs (if at all); the ability to adapt to changes in gold prices, estimates of costs, estimates of planned exploration and development expenditures; the Company's strategy and objectives relating to the Cariboo Gold Project as well as its other projects; the assumptions, qualifications and limitations relating to the Cariboo Gold Project being permitted; the exploration potential and prospectivity (if any) of its properties; 'regulatory framework remaining defined and understood as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances, and any other information herein that is not a historical fact may be "forward looking information". Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation: 'risks relating to third-party approvals, including the issuance of permits by governments; risks relating to the performance of contractors, including JDS; capital market conditions and the Company's ability to access capital on terms acceptable to the Company for the contemplated exploration, development and construction at the Company's properties; risks related to the exploration, development, construction and operation of the Cariboo Gold Project, including delays and cost overruns; risks related to geological modeling and resource estimation; health, safety and security incidents; regulatory delays or changes in regulatory framework and applicable laws; labour shortages or disputes; general economic and market conditions and business conditions in the mining industry; fluctuations in commodity prices and currency exchange rates, as well as those risks and factors disclosed in the Company's most recent annual information form, financial statements and management's discussion and analysis as well as other public filings on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).

Although the Company believes the expectations conveyed by the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information available as of the date hereof, no assurances can be given as to future results, levels of activity and achievements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
