MONTREAL, July 12, 2021 - Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (the "Corporation" or "Osisko") (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to provide an update on its second quarter deliveries, sales and operating cash margins¹ and recent asset advancements.

PRELIMINARY Q2 2021 RESULTS

Osisko earned approximately 20,178 attributable gold equivalent ounces² ("GEOs") in the second quarter of 2021, excluding GEOs earned from the Renard diamond stream.

Osisko recorded preliminary revenues³ of C$57.2 million during the second quarter and preliminary cost of sales³ (excluding depletion) of C$10.1 million, resulting in a record operating cash margin¹ of approximately C$47.1 million. Excluding offtakes, Osisko's operating cash margin for royalties and streams¹ was approximately 94% during the second quarter of 2021 (97% excluding the Renard diamond stream). Osisko will provide full production and financial details with the release of its second quarter 2021 results after market close on Monday, August 9^th, 2021 followed by a conference call on August 10^th at 10am ET.

Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko commented: "We are pleased to have posted another solid quarter in terms of GEOs and record operating cash margin. We expect a strong second half of the year with the start-up of the Santana mine and increasing deliveries from the Eagle mine. Infill work and new discoveries from the extensive drill campaign at the Canadian Malartic mine continue to strengthen our flagship asset. Additionally, there have been important advancements in our earlier stage development portfolio with assets such as Upper Beaver, Casino and Horne 5 taking significant strides forward. The depth of our portfolio is truly coming to the foreground."

RECENT ASSET ADVANCEMENTS

Malartic Exploration Update

On July 8^th, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico") released an exploration update for the ongoing 141,400 metre ("m") drill program on their Malartic property (50% partnership with Yamana Gold Inc.). Infill drilling continues to return solid results in the core of the East Gouldie deposit, with recent results returning up to 6.3 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 52.0m at 1,109m depth, including 8.9g/t gold over 21.0m at 1,102m depth. The eastern extension of the deposit continues to be tested and a new mineralized horizon was discovered approximately 400 metres south of East Gouldie. This new zone was intercepted in hole RD20-4674 and returned 3.5g/t gold over 8.6m at 2,103m depth (see lowest dot on Figure 1). It appears nearly parallel to the East Gouldie zone with similar mineralization and alteration characteristics representing a promising target to continue to investigate and further demonstrating the potential to make additional new discoveries in proximity to the planned underground mine infrastructure.

Recent results in the Chert zone also suggest the potential to add additional mineral resources between the East Malartic and East Gouldie deposits. The size and shape of the Chert zone is not well understood yet, but recent results of drill hole MEX20-164WD, returned 7.0g/t gold over 77.9m core length at 890m depth.

At East Amphi, recent work suggests that the mineralization remains open at depth below the historical underground mine, with hole EA21-4197 intersecting 2.0g/t gold over an estimated true width of 29.8m at 544m depth. This broad mineralized zone is comprised of several higher-grade sub-zones.

The first underground drill rig is planned to be mobilized in early July in the Odyssey project ramp, and will mainly be dedicated to the conversion of inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources at Odyssey South.

Kirkland Lake Exploration Update

Agnico also provided an update on the 52,200m drill program on the Kirkland Lake project on July 8^th. Significant new intersects were encountered in all areas of the Upper Beaver deposit at shallow levels ranging from near surface to less than 300m vertical depth. Drill hole KLUB21-718 is representative of the shallow portion of the deposit with three significant intercepts within a 100-metre envelope of 4.8g/t gold and 0.09% copper over 4.2m at 171m depth; 8.2g/t gold and 0.07% copper over 4.2m at 199m depth; and 2.3g/t gold and 0.28% copper over 21.0m at 234m depth, demonstrating the stacked nature of the interpreted zones within the shallow levels of the deposit.

A conversion and expansion drilling program at depth at the Upper Beaver deposit continues to intersect significant high-grade mineralization, including 21.2g/t gold and 0.67% copper over 14.8m at 1,190m depth. Robust gold intersections obtained so far in 2021 within the Footwall Zone are expected to have a significant impact on size and potentially average grade of this zone in the next mineral reserve and mineral resource estimate update. These positive drill results will be incorporated in an internal technical study which is now expected in 2022.

Osisko holds a 2% NSR royalty on Agnico Eagle's Kirkland Lake project, including Upper Beaver.

Osisko Development Grows Cariboo and Begins Drilling at San Antonio

Q2 2021 RESULTS AND CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

Osisko also provides notice of the second quarter 2021 results and conference call details:

Notes:

Osisko has included certain performance measures in this press release that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including (i) attributable gold equivalent ounces and (ii) operating cash margin. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures 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. As Osisko's operations are primarily focused on precious metals, the Corporation presents attributable GEOs and operating cash margins as it believes that certain investors use this information to evaluate the Corporation's performance in comparison to other mining companies in the precious metals mining industry who present results on a similar basis. However, other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently. Note that these figures have not been audited and are subject to change.

1. Operating cash margin (in dollars) represents revenues less cost of sales, excluding depletion (C$57.2 million - C$10.1 million = C$47.1 million). Operating cash margin on royalties and streams (in percentage) represents the operating cash margin earned from royalties and streams (in dollars) divided by revenues earned from royalties and streams: (C$49.9 million - C$3.0 million) / C$49.9 million = 94%. Excluding the Renard diamond stream: [(C$49.9 million - C$4.3 million) - (C$3.0 million - C$1.8 million)] / (C$49.9 million - C$4.3 million) = 97%).
   
   
2. GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties, streams and offtakes. Silver earned from royalty and stream agreements are 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 are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue by the average gold price for the period. Offtake agreements are converted using the financial settlement equivalent divided by the average gold price for the period.
   
   
3. These figures have not been audited and are subject to change. As the Corporation has not yet finished its quarter-end close procedures, the anticipated financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to final quarter-end closing adjustments, and may change materially. The preliminary revenues, preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) and preliminary operating cash margin presented include preliminary revenues, cost of sales and operating cash margin from the Renard diamond stream. During the second quarter of 2021, the Renard diamond stream generated preliminary revenues of C$4.3 million and preliminary costs of sales (excluding depletion) of C$1.8 million, resulting in an operating cash margin of C$2.5 million.
