Last February the company acquired Pine Point Mining and initiated the largest active drill program in the Northwest Territories.  By the end of the year, a pit constrained inferred resource of 38 million tonnes grading 4.58% zinc and 1.85% lead was defined. The property hosts 3.9 billion lb. of zinc and 1.6 billion lb. of lead. Definition drilling will continue this year at Pine Point. A separate brownfield exploration program will be launched after a site-wide digital compilation over the central portion of the project is completed. A new indicated and inferred resources estimate is also due this year. Several of Osisko Metal’s other projects lie in the Bathurst zinc-lead camp in New Brunswick. With last year’s acquisition of the Key Anacon project, the company expanded its land holdings and began a successful early stage exploration campaign. Several massive sulphide intercepts were recorded up to 85 metres thick in the Titan zone, the best of which was 22.2 metres averaging 6.07% zinc, 2.19% lead, 0.92% copper and 48.8 g/t silver. A grassroots exploration program is planned for the Key Anacon property. Re-interpretation of the local volcanic stratigraphy has allowed company to outline a 25 km extension of relatively untested section of the Brunswick Horizon located east of the former Brunswick No. 12 mine.
