Sandeep Singh, President of Osisko commented on the activities of the third quarter of 2020: “We had a very strong third quarter with production rebounding well and other significant catalysts. The spin-out transaction announced on October 5^th is an important strategic milestone for the Company. It greatly simplifies Osisko into a pure-play royalty and streaming company, while maintaining exposure to the company-making assets contributed to Osisko Development. Our cornerstone Canadian Malartic royalty continues to create significant value for our shareholders as the joint venture partnership makes significant strides towards an underground development decision. We anticipate a continued upward trend in GEO deliveries in the fourth quarter, and we believe that we are in excellent position to meet our forecast for the second half of 2020.”
