Osisko Mining Corp

A homegrown Quebec company based in Montreal, Osisko Mining Corporation’s flagship is the Canadian Malartic gold deposit in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.

After several years of preparation, the company finally poured their first gold bar on April 13, 2011 and commercial gold production began soon after on May 19.

To the company’s credit, Malartic represents Canada’s largest gold reserve in production as their website boasts that they have “proven and probable reserves of 10.7 million ounces of gold”.

Within the first 30 days alone, the Osisko’s gold-milling plant managed to process an average of 33,300 tonnes per day.

Outside of their activities at the Malartic facility, Osisko is focused on acquiring, exploring, developing and mining gold properties. Their end game is to become a leading mid-tier gold producer.

Osisko is currently pursuing four other exploration projects in Canada: Quebec (Dunn), Ontario (Hammond Reef, Mountjoy) and Nova Scotia (Goldboro).

Environmentally conscious, Osisko has always strived to minimize its carbon footprint while on the job site and to employ sustainable development wherever possible on the development site.

Beyond that, the company will be engaging in a reforestation project for various municipal land lots in the region and this project will be jointly implemented by officials of the Vallée-de-l’Or regional municipality.
