Osisko Intersects 211 Metres Averaging 0.59% Cu at Gaspe
Osisko’s Gaspé Westward drill holes confirm the deposit’s scale, though grades and lengths trail the September anchor intercepts.

Osisko Metals Incorporated (OM) released additional 2026 drill results from its Gaspé Copper Project in Québec, comprising 28 mineralized intercepts from 12 holes (DDH 30-1236 to 30-1247). The results are categorized as infill within the 2026 mineral resource estimate (MRE), in-pit expansion (Expansion 1), and out-of-pit expansion (Expansion 2).
Key intercepts include: - DDH 30-1243 (Expansion 2): 211.5 m @ 0.59% Cu, 2.78 g/t Ag (0.61% CuEq), including 28.5 m @ 2.31% Cu, 11.8 g/t Ag (2.40% CuEq). - DDH 30-1236 (Expansion 2): 86.5 m @ 1.36% Cu, 6.74 g/t Ag (1.37% CuEq), including 18.0 m @ 4.53% Cu, 23.3 g/t Ag (4.78% CuEq). - DDH 30-1239 (Expansion 2): 63.8 m @ 0.98% Cu, including 16.1 m @ 2.54% Cu, 8.98 g/t Ag. - DDH 30-1237 (Expansion 1): 81.2 m @ 0.50% Cu, including 5.0 m @ 2.29% Cu; plus deeper 46.3 m @ 0.58% Cu with 0.143% Mo (1.08% CuEq). - DDH 30-1245 (Infill): 201.0 m @ 0.33% Cu, plus 24.0 m @ 0.68% Cu. - DDH 30-1241 (Expansion 1): 54.0 m @ 0.44% Cu. - DDH 30-1246 (Infill): 341.5 m @ 0.26% Cu and 120.0 m @ 0.32% Cu. - DDH 30-1242 (Expansion 2, ~730 m SW of MRE): three intervals including 41.5 m @ 0.39% Cu.
Hole DDH 30-1238 targeted the C Zone but failed to intersect the pillar, stopping in a stope.
The release notes that holes 30-1236 and 30-1243 are located 500–600 m west of the 2026 MRE model, and that grades around Needle Mountain are improving.
Osisko Metals Incorporated (OM) is a developer-stage company, with its Gaspé project representing one of North America's largest undeveloped copper resources, comprising 1.83 billion tonnes at 0.32% CuEq Measured and Indicated, containing 10.77 billion pounds of copper, and 239 million tonnes at 0.46% CuEq Inferred. The recent release of 12 drill holes featuring good-but-not-world-class intercepts serves as confirmation news flow that feeds a future resource update.
The prior comparable release occurred on September 10, 2026, with drill hole DDH 30-1228 returning 256.5 meters at 0.85% copper, approximately 218 percent-metres, including 28.5 meters at 4.74% copper. Other recent anchors include August 20, 2026 (30-1223: 312.5 meters at 0.56%, approximately 175 percent-metres) and June 9, 2026 (30-1196: 80 meters at 1.93%, approximately 154 percent-metres). The best holes in this release, 30-1243 at 124.8 percent-metres and 30-1236 at 117.6 percent-metres, are approximately 57% of the September 10 anchor on percent-metres, at slightly lower grade.
The market is pricing an ongoing expansion and infill programme rather than a specific repeat of the last headline hole. The results are in-line to slightly weak versus the stream, with genuine western step-out offsets present.
The release is incremental positive, genuinely extending the system west and confirming infill against the block model, but adding no step-change in scale or grade band relative to what the programme has already shown.
Osisko Metals Incorporated (TSX: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRA: 0B51) is a Canadian copper-zinc developer. The company’s Gaspé Copper Project, located in eastern Québec, is a 100%-owned brownfield asset acquired from Glencore in July 2023. The project features a past-producing pit-constrained mineral inventory comprising 1,834.2 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources grading 0.32% copper equivalent, containing 10.77 billion pounds of copper along with molybdenum and silver. Additionally, there are 238.8 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 0.46% copper equivalent. Indicative metallurgy suggests approximately 89-91% copper recovery and a 25% copper concentrate grade, with molybdenum recovery at approximately 72% and silver recovery at approximately 65%. No reserves have been defined; the company has guided for a preliminary economic assessment in the first half of 2027, a feasibility study in 2028, and a production concept targeting approximately 2032.
The Pine Point Project, located in the Northwest Territories, is held in a joint venture with Appian. The project contains 49.5 million tonnes of indicated resources grading 5.52% zinc equivalent and 8.3 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 5.64% zinc equivalent.
Osisko Metals has a shareholder base that is approximately 80% institutional and strategic. Major stakeholders include Glencore, which holds approximately 14.4% following debenture conversion and retains a 1% Copper Mountain royalty along with an off-take agreement on 100% of concentrates. Other shareholders include Agnico Eagle, Hudbay, Franco-Nevada, and CDPQ. The company has approximately 890.7 million shares outstanding post-conversion, compared to 762.6 million at Q2-2026, with additional warrants and the OCMC spin-out also in play.
