About Osisko

 

Osisko is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is focused on acquiring, exploring, developing and mining gold properties, with the aim of becoming a leading mid-tier gold producer.

 

The Company’s flagship asset is the Canadian Malartic mine located in Malartic, Québec. The Canadian Malartic deposit was acquired in late 2004, with drilling commencing in March 2005. Following an intensive drilling program, a $1 billion capital construction project was completed in early 2011 with the first gold poured in April 2011. Canadian Malartic reached commercial production on May 19, 2011. Since the beginning of commercial production and up to April 30, 2014, the Canadian Malartic mine has produced 1,240,930 ounces of gold.

 

Osisko acquired two advanced exploration projects, Hammond Reef (2010) and Upper Beaver (2012), both located in Ontario, Canada. The Company also has other exploration projects located in the Americas.

Proposed Acquisition of Osisko by Yamana Gold Inc. and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited

 

Following the hostile take-over bid launched by Goldcorp Inc. on January 13, 2014, the Company embarked on a robust value maximizing process which resulted in the announcement of a friendly transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”), and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”), for a total consideration estimated at $3.9 billion or $8.15 per common share.

 

The total offer consists of approximately $1.0 billion in cash, $2.3 billion in Yamana and Agnico Eagle shares, and the creation of a new company (incorporated on April 29, 2014 under the name Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd) with an implied value of approximately $575 million.

 

Terms of the agreement

 

Under the agreement, Yamana and Agnico Eagle will form a joint acquisition entity (each company owning 50%) which will acquire, by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), all of the outstanding common shares of Osisko. Upon closing of the transaction, Yamana and Agnico Eagle will each own Osisko, and will form a joint committee to operate the Canadian Malartic mine in Québec. The partners will also jointly explore and potentially develop the Kirkland Lake assets, and continue the exploration at Hammond Reef, Pandora, and Wood Pandora properties, located in Ontario and in Québec.

 

Upon implementation of the agreement, each outstanding common share of Osisko will be exchanged for:

 

(i)      $2.09 in cash;

(ii)     0.26471 of a Yamana common share (a value of $2.43 based on the closing price of $9.18 for Yamana shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of April 15, 2014);

(iii)    0.07264 of an Agnico Eagle common share (a value of $2.43 based on the closing price of $33.45 for Agnico Eagle shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of April 15, 2014);

(iv)    one new common share of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd with an implied value of $1.20 per share.

 

Pursuant to the Arrangement, certain assets of Osisko will be transferred to Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd, the shares of which will be distributed to Osisko shareholders as part of the consideration. The following will be transferred to Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd:

 

(i)      a 5% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on the Canadian Malartic mine;

(ii)     a 2% NSR on all existing exploration properties including Kirkland Lake, Hammond Reef, Pandora and Wood Pandora assets;

(iii)    $155 million cash;

(iv)    all assets and liabilities of Osisko in the Guerrero camp in Mexico;

(v)     publicly traded equity investments in associates and other publicly traded companies.

 

The total value of the transaction is estimated at $3.9 billion, or $8.15 per common share of Osisko on a fully diluted basis. Following the completion of the transaction, Osisko shareholders will own approximately 14% of Yamana and approximately 17% of Agnico Eagle.

 

As a result of the Goldcorp Inc. hostile take-over bid, the conducting of the value maximization process and the successful completion of the proposed transaction, the Company has incurred significant costs in the first quarter ($7.5 million) and is expected to incur additional significant charges in the second quarter. The charges will include professional fees for advisors and change of control payments for senior management and some employees.

 

Annual & Special Shareholders Meeting

 

Osisko’s Annual and Special Shareholders Meeting will be held on May 30, 2014 at 1:30pm at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. Shareholders are invited to approve the Plan of Arrangement for the Yamana and Agnico Eagle transaction.

Outlook

 

Mill throughput is expected to stabilize at approximately 55,000 tonnes per operating day in 2014 with the completion of optimization programs currently in progress. Together with increased contribution from higher grade material in the now accessible northern pit wall, it is anticipated that gold production for the current year will increase to between 525,000 to 575,000 ounces (an increase of 11% to 21% over the record 2013 production of 475,277 ounces gold).

 

Cash costs per ounce (4) are estimated between $580 and $635, a 24% to 16% reduction in costs from 2013. Cash costs per ounce(4) in US dollars are estimated at US$527 to US$577 using an exchange rate of 1.10.

 

Capital expenditures for 2014 are estimated at $148.0 million:

(1)   Includes $65.6 million related to stripping and pit preparation activities.

 

Canadian Malartic Mine

 

The Canadian Malartic mine is a large open pit operation located within the Town of Malartic.

 

Canadian Malartic commenced commercial production in May 2011. Following a prolonged ramp-up period which necessitated modifications to the plant, the operations continued to progress to name-plate capacity of 55,000 tonnes per operating day. The operations have now been stabilized and continued optimization programs are now being pursued.

 

Following an improvement in the grade at 1.13 g/t Au processed, the mine established a quarterly gold production record of 140,029 ounces in the first quarter of 2014. Average daily throughput reached 50,444 tonnes per operating day compared to 48,667 tonnes per operating day in the first quarter of 2013 and 54,043 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2013. Cash costs per ounce(4) for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $636 (US$577). The mine generated record operating earnings of $77.6 million, compared to $55.0 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013. The increase in profit from mine operations is mainly due to an increase in revenues of $52.8 million compared to an increase in mine operating costs of $30.1 million.

 

During April 2014, gold production totaled 37,008 ounces despite a 5-day scheduled shut-down for plant maintenance. Production exceeded budget by 16%.

Cash flows and earnings generated from the Canadian Malartic mine were higher in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of record production and sales despite lower realized average prices. In the first quarter of 2014, 140,029 ounces of gold were produced and 146,132 ounces were sold compared respectively to 106,047 ounces and 95,511 ounces in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Mining

 

Approximately 15.6 million tonnes of ore and waste and 1.4 million tonnes of re-handling from stockpiles were moved during the first quarter of 2014 (190,000 tonnes/day), compared to 14.2 million tonnes of ore and waste and 1.6 million tonnes of re-handling from stockpiles during the first quarter of 2013 (176,000 tonnes/day). These results were achieved despite the difficult weather conditions (extreme cold) which caused equipment failures. In addition, as the mine is located in an urban area, the utilization of the mining fleet is occasionally reduced to meet the noise-level restrictions. Operating procedures restrict blasting activities when winds are from the southerly direction as a precautionary measure to protect the community from potential NOx emissions. Grade reached an average of 1.13 g/t Au in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 0.88 g/t Au in the first quarter of 2013 as higher grade materials were accessible in the northern part of the pit.

On February 26, 2014, the Québec Government adopted a decree authorizing the operation of the Gouldie deposit. Since then, the pre-stripping activities have been initiated.

 

Milling

 

Production in the first quarter of 2014 averaged 50,444 tonnes per operating day compared to 48,667 tonnes per operating day for the first quarter of 2013. In coordination with the technical advisors, the Canadian Malartic team continues to work on improving the mill throughput and enhancing operating efficiencies.

 

Mill feed for the first quarter of 2014 averaged 1.13 g/t Au compared to 0.88 g/t Au in the first quarter of 2013. Access to the northern part of the pit allowed higher grade to be mined and processed. Recoveries continued to exceed average feasibility forecasts averaging 88% for the first quarter of 2014.

 

Operating statistics at the mill are as follows:

Operating Costs

 

Cash costs per ounce(5) in the first quarter of 2014 stood at $636 (US$577), compared to $804 (US$798) in the first quarter of 2013. The improvement is mainly the result of increased throughput and gold production, improved efficiencies and reduction in contractors’ costs. As the operations at Canadian Malartic are further optimized, the operating costs should continue their downward trend.

 

Reserves and Resources

 

As of January 1, 2014, the updated ore reserve estimates stood at 9.37 million ounces at the Canadian Malartic mine. The reserve base is calculated at US$1,300 per ounce of gold and is presented in the table below:

The Company continues to work with Québec’s Ministry of Transport and the Town of Malartic on the deviation of a portion of the highway 117 to gain access to the higher grade Barnat deposit, included in the reserve and resource estimates table above. The final layout has been completed, the environmental impact study is expected to be completed by the beginning of the second quarter of 2014 and a request for public hearings will be made by the Company. It is expected that the Barnat deposit will provide higher ore grade mill feed.

 

On February 26, 2014 the Québec Government adopted a decree authorizing the exploitation of the Gouldie deposit, which allowed the Company to begin the pre-stripping activity.

Exploration and Development

 

Prior to mid 2009, the Company’s efforts were focused solely on the development of its flagship asset, the Canadian Malartic mine. Following the securing of the financing, the necessary authorizations and the construction release, the Company began to seek other opportunities to complement the Canadian Malartic mine. The overall objective is for Osisko to achieve the status of a leading intermediate gold producer with annual production of 1 million ounces. The strategy is to create value through the identification and development of gold reserves and resources.

 

To build on its gold mining asset base, the Company has acquired advanced exploration projects, has entered into exploration agreements, has staked ground, and has invested in various public and private exploration companies with promising gold projects. Osisko continues to focus its efforts on its new Kirkland Lake area properties and in Mexico.

 

Osisko enjoys flexibility on its major projects, a benefit of being the sole owner, and thus can select the rate of execution of its investment programs without concern for compromising ownership rights.

 

Upper Beaver Project and Kirkland Lake — Larder Camp

 

On December 28, 2012, Osisko acquired Queenston Mining Inc., a Canadian mineral exploration and development company with a primary focus on its holdings in the historic Kirkland Lake gold camp comprising 230km2 of exploration lands and the Upper Beaver Project. Queenston Mining Inc. (“Queenston”) changed its name to Osisko Mining Ltd. on January 16, 2013.

 

The Queenston transaction provides the Company with a major foothold in a prolific gold camp that has produced in excess of 40 million ounces. Queenston had consolidated the land package over the past 20 years. To date, there have been several satellite deposits identified that could feed a regional mill.

 

The Upper Beaver Project has the following resources as calculated by SRK Consulting, as of November 5, 2012.

The work at Upper Beaver is focused on drilling deep holes to test extensions of known zones. The Company has completed 50,436 meters of drilling since January 1, 2013. Work is currently limited to completion of current holes and compiling information generated during the drilling phase to date, and on conducting basic geological review and interpretation over the land package held in the area.

 

At the end of 2013, an intensive drilling program has been initiated and in February 2014, Osisko announced the discovery of a potentially large, bulk tonnage disseminated gold deposit on its 100% owned Kirkland Lake project. This discovery, named the “Canadian Kirkland” zone, consists of a previously unreported type of mineralization in this world-class gold camp. For more information, please refer to Osisko’s press release dated February 21, 2014, New Discovery Named “Canadian Kirkland” Confirms Potential for Bulk Tonnage Gold in Kirkland Camp, available on Osisko’s website at www.osisko.com.

 

Hammond Reef Gold Project

 

Osisko acquired the Hammond Reef gold project located near Atikokan in Northwestern Ontario, through the acquisition of publicly traded Brett Resources Inc. in mid 2010 for $375.0 million. Hammond Reef is a large development project with potential to become a substantial open-pit mine. In the period, efforts were focused on the advancement of the environmental impact assessment.

A new resource estimate for Hammond Reef was released on January 28, 2013. As per the estimate, global measured and indicated resources currently stand at 5.43 million ounces gold at an average grade of 0.86 g/t Au and the global inferred resource stands at 1.75 million ounces gold at an average grade of 0.72 g/t (based on 0.50 g/t Au lower cut-off).

Permitting

 

For the Hammond Reef gold project, permitting is subject to approvals from both Federal (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency) and Provincial (Ministry of the Environment, Environmental Approvals Branch) authorities.

 

·                  The Ontario Minister of Environment provided approval to the Final Amended Terms of Reference for the environmental approval on July 4, 2012 while the Federal Agency had finalized the Environmental Impact Statement Guidelines for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement in October of 2011;

·                  A draft Environmental Assessment / Environmental Impact Statement report was submitted on February 15, 2013. The five week comment period ended on April 5, 2013. Comments were received from Aboriginal groups, the public and the government review team. Osisko held different meetings and teleconferences during the quarter with the governments, aboriginal groups and the public, to respond to the various comments raised;

·                  The final Environmental Impact Assessment was submitted for a conformity review on December 13, 2013 and Osisko is pursuing the obtention of permits.

 

Impairment

 

Osisko’s technical team is progressing on the feasibility study of the project. Due to significant inflation in the mineral industry over the past few years, the preliminary estimate of capital cost for a 60,000 tonnes per day operation ranges between $1.5 and $1.8 billion. Gold output is estimated to average 400,000 ounces per annum at a production cost of $800 to $850 per ounce. The mine life is estimated at 12 years for a total of 4.3 million ounces to be recovered. The group is continuing to review alternatives to optimize capital and operating costs and improve the returns. Under the current project scope, the Hammond Reef gold project requires higher gold prices to justify the investment.

 

In 2013, following an impairment testing of the Hammond Reef gold project, the project value was reduced to nil. The Company will continue to pursue low-cost permitting activities in the near-term and will continue to monitor market conditions and review optimization scenarios.

Guerrero (Mexico)

 

The Company has been active in Mexico in acquiring prospective ground to conduct grassroots activities. To date, the Company has acquired approximately one million hectares in the prolific Guerrero Gold Belt.

 

The Company continues to pursue initial grassroots activities including trenching and sampling, studying geochemistry and geophysical data, identifying drill targets and conducting initial drilling. Efforts were hampered by adverse weather conditions, which severely impacted local infrastructures. Osisko is working with various communities to repair the infrastructures and the exploration program resumed in October 2013.

 

Other grassroots projects

 

In the first quarter of 2014, due to disappointing results of drilling programs completed, some grassroots projects in Mexico and in Ontario were abandoned and a total amount of $2.2 million was written off.

 

Investment in exploration companies

 

In its search for exploration opportunities within the Americas, the Company’s strategy also includes investing in junior mining companies. As at March 31, 2014, Osisko has investments in several junior mining companies, including in Ryan Gold, Bowmore Exploration, Oban Mining, Threegold Resources, Falco Pacific Resource Group, Nighthawk Gold, Pershimco Resources, Orex Exploration and Mistango River Resources.

 

Sustainability and Community Relations

 

Osisko maintains an active stakeholder program to secure and retain its social license to operate. The program includes maintaining active dialogue with the various parties including governments, participating in community social and economic development projects, as well as funding various initiatives in health, education and sport.

 

The Company has received 6 notices of non-compliance in the first quarter of 2014 for its Canadian Malartic operations compared to 9 notices of non-compliance in the first quarter of 2013. The Company also responds to complaints/inquiries raised by the residents of Malartic. In the first quarter of 2014, some 32 complaints were filed compared to 63 in the first quarter of 2013. The notices of non-compliance and the complaints/inquiries relate to noise, dust, blast surpressions, and NOx emissions during blasting. All are investigated and formal responses are filed with the regulatory agency. Periodically, environmental monitoring results are revised with the Monitoring Committee and the community. In the first quarter of 2014, two meetings were held in February and March.

 

The Company continues to pursue mitigation measures and new operating practices to minimize its impact on the community. Several research program and on-going modifications to equipment or operating practices are being pursued or implemented.

 

Mitigation measures have been or are being implemented and include the following items:

 

·                  Implementation of a research and development noise reduction plan for mobile equipment;

·                  Development of a sound prediction system correlating weather conditions and noise dispersion. Recording of data has started and modeling will require at least 6 months of data to establish correlation;

·                  Installation of insulated walls (containers) along ramp and transport roads.

 

The Company will be publishing in May its 2013 annual Sustainability Report. The report will cover the 2013 activities and will be available on Osisko’s website at www.osisko.com.

 

Human Resources

 

The mining industry is faced with a highly competitive environment to attract and retain qualified human resources. Osisko has initiated several measures to recruit and retain employees. These include implementation of competitive remuneration programs, training and development opportunities, and providing a safe working environment. The Company has an extensive university and technical school support program by offering work term to students to complement their theoretical experiences with hands-on practical experience.

 

Mr. Robert Wares was appointed Senior Vice President, Exploration and Resource Development on February 18, 2014.

Mr. Wares, the founder of Osisko, had previously retired in 2012.

Gold Market, Energy and Currency

 

Gold Market

 

Precious metals have been under pressure for most of 2013. The gold price partially recovered some of its lost in the first quarter of 2014. The first quarter gold price averaged at US$1,293/oz, US$339/oz lower than the average gold price of the first quarter of 2013. Gold price closed at US$1,292 on March 31, 2014, an increase of $87/oz compared to December 31, 2013.

 

The market was driven by geopolitical and macro risks in the first quarter of 2014, among the following developments:

 

·                  U.S. economic data such as retail sales and employment have missed expectations;

·                  The Federal Reserve has started to reduce in January 2014 its asset purchase program, but should continue its monetary stimulus for some time to cut unemployment;

·                  Emerging markets saw a currency crisis break out in January 2014, raising fears of contagion;

·                  Weak economic data in China and concerns about the possibility of large scale defaults within the corporate bond and banking sectors;

·                  Geopolitical unrest, including protests in Venezuela and Thailand and the political crisis in Ukraine, helped to increase demand for gold as a safe haven by investors; and

·                  Exchange traded fund (“ETF”) activity has stabilized and funds are turning more bullish on gold, increasing their long position and reducing their short position exposure.

 

Osisko believes that despite the decrease in the gold price in 2013, the fundamentals of the gold market remains well in place, namely:

 

·                  Expansionary monetary policies and continued effects of the economic problems around the world;

·                  High level of government indebtedness;

·                  Diversification of central bank currency holdings, particularly in emerging markets;

·                  Continued geo-political instability.

 

The challenges of new production discoveries, high capital costs, suspension of major projects and permitting issues lead Osisko to believe that global production will remain stable or decline in the near/medium term.

Energy

 

Osisko’s Canadian Malartic operations benefit from Québec’s low-cost reliable hydro-electric power. The utilization of this clean renewable energy source reduces the impact of volatile oil prices on the operations. However, as with other mining operations but to a lesser extent, oil prices have an impact on operating costs.

During the first quarter of 2014, earnings from mine operations amounted to $77.6 million, net earnings were $24.2 million and operating cash flows reached $91.9 million, compared to earnings from mine operations of $55.0 million, net earnings of $17.4 million and operating cash flows of $62.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in production and sales as well as the decrease in production costs per ounce produced are responsible for the higher earnings from mine operations in the first quarter of 2014, even though the average realized price decreased by 22% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 as a result of lower market prices.

·                  Record operating cash flows of $91.9 million in 2014 compared to $62.5 million in 2013;

·                  146,132 ounces of gold sold at an average price of US$1,294/oz compared to 95,511 ounces of gold sold at an average price of US$1,627/oz in 2013.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, Osisko generated record net earnings of $24.2 million (net earnings per share of $0.06) compared to net earnings of $17.4 million (net earnings per share of $0.04) for the comparative period in 2013. The increase in production and sales as well as the decrease in production costs per ounce produced, partially offset by a lower realized gold price, resulted in higher earnings from mine operations in the first quarter of 2014. Osisko also incurred expenses of $7.5 million during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the unsolicited take-over bid from Goldcorp Inc. announced on January 13, 2014.

 

Total precious metal sales amounted to $212.1 million in the first quarter of 2014, comprising of 146,132 ounces of gold and 141,817 ounces of silver, compared to precious metal sales of $159.4 million in 2013, comprising of 95,511 ounces of gold and 73,683 ounces of silver.

 

The Canadian Malartic mine generated record operating earnings of $77.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $55.0 million in 2013. The cash margin(6) amounted $794 per ounce in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $47 per ounce when compared to $841 per ounce in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is the result of a lower average selling price of gold (a decrease of $215 per ounce), partially offset by a decrease of $168 per ounce in the cash costs per ounce(6).

(b)         Production costs amounted to $96.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $81.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. Higher production costs of ounces sold in 2014 are mainly the result of higher sales, partially offset by a decrease in production costs per ounce produced. The increase in depreciation expense is mainly due to higher depreciable property, plant and equipment and higher production. In the first quarter of 2014, earnings from mine operations represented 37% of sales (mine operating costs were 63% of sales), compared to 34% (mine operating costs were 66% of sales), in the first quarter of 2013. The difference is mainly the result of reduced production costs on a per ounce basis.

 

(c)          General and administrative expenses (G&A) increased by $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The increase if mainly due to expenses of $7.5 million incurred as a result of the unsolicited take-over bid from Goldcorp Inc. in January 2014. Salaries and fringe benefits were $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $4.3 million mainly due to a higher share-based expense on restricted and deferred share units as a result of the increase in share price. Share-based compensation from share options was $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.1 million in 2013. Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million to reach $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. G&A expenses in the first quarter of 2013, following the acquisition of Queenston, increased G&A expenses during that period. These additional G&A expenses from the acquisition of Queenston were reduced to nil in the following quarters.

 

(d)         Exploration and evaluation expenses were $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The reduction was due to lower investments in Mexico.

(e)          Write-offs of property, plant and equipment are related to abandoned exploration projects and amounted to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2013.

 

(f)           Other net expenses in the first quarter of 2014 include finance costs of $6.2 million, a loss on foreign exchange of $2.9 million and a share of loss of associates of $0.3 million, partially offset by the recognition of a deferred gain on flow-through shares of $2.1 million and interest income of $0.7 million.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, other net expenses include finance costs of $7.9 million, a loss on foreign exchange of $2.3 million and a net loss on financial assets of $2.0 million, partially compensated by interest income of $0.5 million.

 

(g)          The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 is 49% compared to 43% in the first quarter of 2013 due to a variation in non-deductible expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $47.6 million during the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the earnings before income and mining taxes of $47.5 million.

 

Restricted cash is composed mainly of the deposits with the Government of Québec amounting to $46.4 million required to cover the entire future costs of rehabilitating the Canadian Malartic mine site.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company’s reimbursements to long-term debt providers totalled $10.3 million.

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities reached a record of $91.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $62.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding the non-cash working capital items, cash flows from operations amounted to $98.0 million compared to $67.1 million in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Cash flows from operating activities, before non-cash working capital items, increased significantly in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The increase of $30.9 million is mainly the result of higher sales of $52.8 million partially offset by an increase in production costs and royalties of $15.9 million and expenses incurred as a result of the unsolicited take-over bid of Goldcorp Inc. amounting to $7.5 million.

Investing Activities

 

Cash flows used in investing activities amounted to $32.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $41.9 million in the first quarter of 2013.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, cash outflows related to investments in property, plant and equipment amounted to $32.9 million compared to $65.7 million in the corresponding period of 2013. Investments in the first quarter of 2014 are mainly related to Canadian Malartic (stripping costs, sustaining capital and expansion) and Kirkland Lake. Investments in the first quarter of 2013 are mainly related to Canadian Malartic.

 

During the first quarter of 2013, investing activities provided cash inflows of $19.4 million from a decrease in short-term investments received from the acquisition of Queenston Mining Inc. in December 2012 and $4.0 million from a decrease in restricted cash.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used by financing activities amounted to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Cash used in 2014 is mainly the result of payments on the finance lease and long-term debt of $7.2 million and $3.1 million respectively and interest payments of $4.8 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by the issuance of common shares from the exercise of share options and the employee share purchase plan that generated $2.9 million.

 

Cash used in the first quarter of 2013 is mainly the result of payments on the finance lease and long-term debt of $6.1 million and $2.5 million respectively and interest payments of $5.4 million, partially offset by the issuance of common shares from the employee share purchase plan that generated $0.6 million.

In case of a change of control, key management would be entitled to receive termination payments estimated at $31,926,000.

 

The increase in salaries and short-term employee benefits is mainly the result of additional fees paid to board members due to several board meetings held following the unsolicited take-over bid of Goldcorp Inc. The increase in share-based compensation is mainly the result of the increased compensation expense from the restricted and deferred share units as the market price of the Osisko common shares increased significantly during the first quarter of 2014.

 

Off-balance Sheet Items

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases for office space as well as letters of credit issued to government agencies. Those letters of credit are 100% secured by deposits (presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet under restricted cash) and are issued to government agencies with respect environmental guarantees. The government agencies may draw on the letters of credit in the event of a default by the Company under the terms of the agreements. As at March 31, 2014, the outstanding letters of credit had a value of $2.0 million.

 

Outstanding Share Data

 

As of May 14, 2014, 440,613,953 common shares were issued and outstanding. A total of 19,518,387 common share options were outstanding to purchase common shares under the Company’s share option plan and 12,500,000 common share purchase warrants were outstanding.

The CEO and the CFO are also responsible for the design of internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”). The fundamental issue is ensuring all transactions are properly authorized and identified and entered into a well designed, robust and clearly understood accounting system on a timely basis to minimize risk of inaccuracy, failure to fairly reflect transactions, failure to fairly record transactions necessary to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS, unauthorized receipts and expenditures, or the inability to provide assurance that unauthorized acquisitions or dispositions of assets can be detected. Internal control procedures provide for separation of duties for receiving, approving, coding and handling of invoices, entering transactions into the accounts, writing checks and wire requests and also require two signers on all payments.

 

The CEO and CFO have evaluated whether there were changes to the ICFR during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ICFR. No such significant changes were identified through their evaluation.

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are consistent with those applied by the Company to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, except for the change in accounting policy disclosed in Note 3 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Board of Directors has approved the consolidated financial statements on May 14, 2014.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

21

 

In preparing the condensed interim consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Changes in Accounting Policies

 

The Company has adopted the following new standard, effective January 1, 2014. This change was made in accordance with the applicable transitional provision.

 

IFRIC 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”)

 

In May 2013, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 21, Levies. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not affect the Company.

 

Financial Instruments

 

All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The fair value is based on quoted market prices, unless the financial instruments are not traded in an active market. In this case, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques like the Black-Scholes option pricing model or other valuation techniques. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the classification of the financial instrument. A description of financial instruments and their fair value is included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures

 

The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures including “cash generated from mine operations”, “cash costs per ounce”, “operating cash flows per share” and “cash margin per once” to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS.

 

The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data 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.

 

Cash generated from mine operations

 

“Cash generated from mine operations” is defined as “Revenues” for a certain period less “Production costs” (excluding non—cash “Share-based compensation”) and “Royalties”. “Cash generated from mine operations” less “Depreciation” and “Share-based compensation” results in “Earnings from mine operations”. The reconciliation table can be found in page 5 of this MD&A.

Cash costs per ounce

 

“Cash costs per ounce” is defined as the production costs of one ounce of gold excluding non-cash costs for a certain period. “Cash costs per ounce” is obtained from “Production costs” and “Royalties” less non-cash “Share-based compensation” and “By-product credits (silver sales)”, adjusted for “Production inventory variation” for the period, divided by the “Number of ounces of gold produced” for the period.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this MD&A constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance, business prospects or opportunities. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the future price of gold and silver, the timely achievement of nameplate capacity, the timing and amount of estimated future mill throughput and production, operating, production and cash costs, currency fluctuations, the rescheduling of debt repayments, capital expenditures, expected ore grade, access to higher grade material, positive outcome of exploration activities, permitting timelines, the requirements of future capital, drill results and the estimation of mineral resources and reserves. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements contained in this report should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this report. Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about:

 

·      general business and economic conditions;

·                  the supply and demand for, deliveries of, and the level and volatility of prices of gold and silver as well as petroleum products;

·      impact of change in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;

·                  the timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for the Company’s development project and other operations;

·      the availability of financing for the Company’s development for future projects;

·                  the Company’s estimation of its costs of production, expected production, capital expenditure requirements and productivity levels;

·      power prices;

·      the ability to procure equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis;

·      the ability to attract and retain skilled staff;

·      engineering and construction timetables and capital costs for the Company’s development project;

·      market competition;

·                  the accuracy of the Company’s estimate of reserves and resources (including, with respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which it is based;

·      change in governments regulations and policies, including change in tax benefits and tax rates;

·      environmental risks including increased regulatory constraints;

·      the ability to deviate Québec’s highway 117 to allow for the mining of the South Barnat deposit in Malartic;

·                  the Company’s ongoing relations with its employees, its business partners and the communities and aboriginal groups related to its exploration and mining activities;

·                  the obtaining of the requested precisions and amendments of its Canadian Malartic mine operating permits in a timely manner, further to discussions with the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement, de la Faune et des Parcs; and

·      the robustness of the Company’s process to pursue value maximizing alternatives;

·      completion of the proposed transaction with Yamana and Agnico Eagle.

 

Additional risk factors are described in more detail in the Company’s Annual Information Form filed with the securities commissions or similar authorities in certain of the provinces of Canada. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on the Company’s forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. The Company also cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements. Moreover, these forward-looking statements may not be suitable for establishing strategic priorities and objectives, future strategies or actions, financial objectives and projections other than those mentioned above. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Osisko Mining Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited)

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

1.              Nature of activities

 

Osisko Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (together “Osisko” or the “Company”) are engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing and operating gold properties, with interests substantially in Canada. Osisko is a public company traded on the TSX and on the Deutsche Börse and is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The address of its registered office is 1100, avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec.

 

The Company operates the Canadian Malartic mine in the Abitibi Gold Belt, immediately south of the Town of Malartic in the Province of Québec, and conducts advance exploration activities in Canada and in other regions in the Americas.

 

2.              Basis of presentation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the changes in accounting policies presented in Note 3. The Board of Directors has approved the consolidated financial statements on May 14, 2014.

 

3.              Changes in accounting policies

 

The Company has adopted the following new standard, effective January 1, 2014. This change was made in accordance with the applicable transitional provision.

 

IFRIC 21, Levies (“IFRIC 21”)

 

In May 2013, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 21, Levies. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not affect the Company.

 

4.              Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

12.       Fair value of financial instruments

 

The following table provides information about financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and categorized by level according to the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.

 

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2— Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); and

Level 3— Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

12.       Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value on the balance sheet

 

Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are represented by cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, advances to suppliers and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, advances to suppliers and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the long-term debt is made at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information like actual interest rates and interest risk spread and other information about the financial instruments.

 

The following table presents the carrying amount and the fair value of the long-term debt:

Capital expenditures

 

As at March 31, 2014, the total purchase commitments for capital expenditures at the Canadian Malartic mine amount to approximately $7,040,000.

 

14.       Proposed transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited

 

On April 16, 2014, Osisko announced that it had entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”) and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”), pursuant to which Yamana and Agnico Eagle will jointly acquire 100% of Osisko’s issued and outstanding common shares, including common shares that may become outstanding after the date of the execution of the Agreement but before the effective time of the arrangement upon the conversion or exercise of share options, warrants or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares. Under the Agreement, Yamana and Agnico Eagle will form a joint acquisition entity (with each company owning 50%) which will acquire, by way of a statutory plan of arrangement, all of the outstanding common shares of Osisko.

 

Under the arrangement, Osisko shareholders will receive, in exchange for each of their existing common shares: (i) $2.09 in cash, (ii) 0.26471 of a Yamana common share, (iii) 0.07264 of an Agnico Eagle common share and (iv) a common share of a new company incorporated on April 29, 2014 named Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd, which collectively have an aggregate implied value of $8.15 for each outstanding Osisko common share based among others on the closing price of the Yamana and Agnico Eagle common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on April 15, 2014, the day preceding the Agreement announcement. In particular, such value of each of the Yamana common shares and the Agnico Eagle common shares is $2.43 per Osisko common share for an aggregate value of $4.86, and the ascribed value to the common shares of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd is $1.20 per Osisko common share. The following will be transferred to Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd: (i) a 5% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on the Canadian Malartic mine, (ii) a 2% NSR on all existing exploration properties including Kirkland Lake, Hammond Reef, Pandora and Wood Pandora assets, (iii) $155.0 million in cash, (iv) all assets and liabilities of Osisko in the Guerrero camp in Mexico and (v) publicly traded equity investments in associates and other publicly traded companies.

(tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

14.       Proposed transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (continued)

 

The actual value of the Yamana and Agnico Eagle common shares may differ from those presented as the closing price of the Yamana and Agnico Eagle common shares may be different at the closing date of the arrangement. The actual value of the common shares of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd upon commencement of trading after the closing date of the arrangement may differ from the ascribed value.

 

Following completion of the arrangement, it is expected that the Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd common shares will be consolidated on the basis of one common share for every ten common shares.

 

The completion of the arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals, court approval and obtaining Osisko shareholders’ approval at the annual and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on May 30, 2014. There can be no assurance that the arrangement will be completed as proposed or at all.

 

The Company would be required to pay, on the date of the change of control, termination payments to officers and certain employees. In addition, all outstanding share options and restricted and deferred shares units would vest, the loans and convertible debentures would become payable at the discretion of the lenders and Fonds de solidarité FTQ could elect to convert the remaining capital portion of its loan into common shares.

 

As a result of the value maximization process implemented following the Goldcorp Inc. unsolicited take-over bid launched in January 2014 against Osisko that has lead to the proposed transaction with Yamana and Agnico Eagle, the Company has incurred significant costs in the first quarter ($7.5 million presented in the consolidated statement of income within general and administrative expenses) and is expected to incur additional significant charges in the second quarter, including professional fees for advisors.
