25.11.2014  |  Marketwired

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2014) - On November 24, 2014, Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (the "Company" or "Osisko") (TSX:OR) acquired, through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, beneficial ownership of 1,000,000 common shares ("Virginia Shares") of Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia Mines") (TSX:VGQ) at a price of $13.00 per Virginia Share (the "Acquisition"). Following the Acquisition, Osisko beneficially owns, after giving effect to the 2,387,616 Virginia Shares that Osisko agreed to acquire on November 16, 2014 (which acquisition has not yet been completed), 3,387,616 Virginia Shares, representing approximately 10.03% of the total issued and outstanding Virginia Shares.

Osisko intends to hold the 3,387,616 Virginia Shares to support the transaction announced on November 17, 2014 to combine the businesses of Osisko and Virginia, which is structured by way of plan of arrangement, to create a new leading intermediate royalty company with two world-class gold royalty assets in Québec.

Osisko may, from time to time, increase or decrease its ownership of Virginia Shares depending on market and other conditions. Pursuant to an agreement between Osisko and Virginia, Osisko may purchase such number of Virginia Shares as may bring Osisko up to an aggregate maximum ownership of 14.9% of the issued and outstanding Virginia Shares, whether such purchases are completed by Osisko with Virginia shareholders directly, through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, or on terms acceptable to Virginia, directly with Virginia.

A copy of the Early Warning Report is being filed with the applicable securities commissions and can be obtained from SEDAR at www.sedar.com under Virginia's issuer profile.
