"On behalf of the Board and management team, I would like to thank Duncan for his valuable contributions and dedicated service," said Sean Roosen, Chairman and CEO. "We've greatly benefited from his guidance and commitment during his tenure, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours."

Mr. McKay is a Chartered Professional Accountant with over 45 years of experience in finance and executive leadership, primarily in the mining and natural resources sector. He has extensive expertise in public company reporting, financing, mergers and acquisitions, risk management, and governance. Mr. McKay currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Dalradian Resources Inc., a position he has held since June 2010.

Mr. McKay obtained his Chartered Accountant designation in 1981 with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western University.

Proposed Name Change

At the upcoming Meeting, the Company is proposing that Shareholders consider a change of the Company's name to "Osisko Gold Group Inc." to better reflect its evolution toward a primary gold and precious metals-focused asset base in North America. Management believes the proposed name change is timely as the Company enters a new chapter, underpinned by the continued de-risking and advancement of its fully permitted Cariboo Gold Project.
