Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd

Management's Discussion and Analysis

2022 - Second Quarter Report

Description of the Business

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd is engaged in the business of acquiring and managing precious metals and other high-quality royalties, streams and similar interests in Canada and worldwide, except for Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Osisko Development"), which are engaged in the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects. Osisko is a public company traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") constituted under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) and is domiciled in the Province of Québec, Canada. The address of its registered office is 1100, avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, Suite 300, Montréal, Québec. The Company owns a portfolio of royalties, streams, offtakes, options on royalty/stream financings and exclusive rights to participate in future royalty/stream financings on various projects. The Company's cornerstone asset is a 5% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Canadian Malartic mine, located in Canada.

As at June 30, 2022 (and as of the date of this MD&A), Osisko held an interest of 44.1% in Osisko Development Corp., a mining exploration, evaluation and development company launched in the fourth quarter of 2020 through a reverse take- over transaction where Osisko transferred its mining assets and activities to Osisko Development. Considering the interest held and other facts and circumstances, the results, assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company consolidate the activities of Osisko Development and its subsidiaries. Osisko Development's main asset is the Cariboo gold project in British Columbia, Canada.

In this MD&A, reference to Osisko Gold Royalties is to Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries, excluding Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries (royalties and streams segment1). Reference to Osisko Development is to Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries (mining exploration and development segment2).

Business Model and Strategy

Osisko's main focus is on high quality, long-life precious metals assets located in favourable jurisdictions and operated by established mining companies, as these assets provide the best risk/return profile. The Company also evaluates and invests in opportunities in other commodities and jurisdictions. Given that a core aspect of the Company's business is the ability to compete for investment opportunities, Osisko plans to maintain a strong balance sheet and ability to deploy capital.

Uncertainty due to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy and commodity and financial markets. The impact of the pandemic to date has included volatility in financial markets, a slowdown in economic activity, supply chain and labour issues, and volatility in commodity prices (including gold and silver). Furthermore, as efforts have been undertaken to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the operation and development of mining projects have been impacted. Many mining projects, including a number of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest have been impacted by the pandemic resulting in the temporary suspension of operations, and other mitigation measures that impacted production. If the operation or development of one or more of the properties in which Osisko holds a royalty, stream or other interest and from which it receives or expects to receive significant revenue is suspended as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics or other public health emergencies, it may have a material adverse impact on Osisko's profitability, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of Osisko's securities. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including a widely available vaccine, the duration and severity of the pandemic and related restrictions, all of which continue to be uncertain and cannot be predicted.

International Situation

International conflicts, geopolitical tensions and significant inflationary environments have historically led to, and may in the future lead to, uncertainty or volatility in global commodity markets, financial markets and supply chains. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to sanctions being levied against Russia by the international community and may result in additional sanctions or other international action, any of which may have a destabilizing effect on commodity prices, supply chains and global economies more broadly, and may generate more inflationary pressures. Volatility in commodity prices, supply chain disruptions and continued inflationary pressures may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, directly or indirectly. The extent and duration of the current Russia-Ukraine conflict and related international action cannot be accurately predicted at this time and the effects of such conflict may magnify the impact of the other risks identified in this MD&A or in the Annual Information Form, including those relating to commodity price volatility, global financial conditions and inflationary pressures.

  1. The royalties and streams segment refers to the royalty, stream and other interests segment, which corresponds to the activities of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd and its subsidiaries, excluding Osisko Development.
  2. The mining exploration and development segment refers to the exploration, evaluation and development of mining projects segment, which corresponds to the activities of Osisko Development Corp. and its subsidiaries.
