11:49 AM EDT, 09/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Osisko Metals (OMZNF) reported Thursday the new infill and expansion drill results from the Gaspe copper project in Quebec.

Osisko retained its outperform rating and $1.25 price target at National Bank of Canada after the news. The rating considers the 110,000-meter exploration program at Gaspe, the company's mining-friendly address on infrastructure in Quebec, and management's impressive track record for developing deposits in the region. The price target was based on a 0.8x multiple to asset NAV plus corporate adjustments.

Drill highlights include 133.7 meters averaging 1.04% copper, 1,091.5 meters averaging 0.20% copper, and 159.1 meters averaging 0.45% copper.

"The growth potential of the Gaspe copper deposit continues to be demonstrated with today's new high-grade results," chief executive officer Robert Wares said. "Our expansion drilling is exceeding expectations, hand-in-hand with the solid infill results on our main resource area."

Osisko's drill program aims to resources outlined in a November 2024 estimate to the measured and indicated categories. The company will release an updated resource estimate in the first quarter of 2026.

Osisko traded 1.2% higher at last look to $0.425 per share on the TSX.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
