Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Osisko Development Corp. has completed the sale of its 100% interest in the San Antonio Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico to Axo Copper Corp. through the sale of all equity in Sapuchi Minera S. de R.L. de C.V.

At closing, Osisko Development received 15,325,841 Axo common shares, giving it a 9.99% non‑diluted ownership stake. The company is also entitled to several contingent payments: 70% of any Mexican value‑added tax refund owed to Sapuchi Mexico for periods ending on or before closing, US$2,000,000 upon Axo filing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant feasibility study on the project (payable in cash or up to 9,398,496 Axo shares, with a floor-price protection feature), and a further US$2,000,000 in cash upon the first gold pour at the project.

If Axo completes one or more equity financings raising at least US$10,000,000, Osisko Development may receive additional Axo shares and, in some cases, cash so that it can retain a 9.99% non-diluted interest on the initial US$10,000,000 raised, subject to caps tied to the floor price. Osisko Development remains focused on advancing its Cariboo Gold and Tintic projects in North America.

Insights

Osisko swaps a Mexican gold project for Axo equity plus staged, project-linked payments.

Osisko Development has exited direct ownership of the San Antonio Gold Project while retaining upside via 15,325,841 Axo Copper shares, equal to a 9.99% non‑diluted stake. The consideration is heavily linked to San Antonio’s future advancement and Axo’s ability to de-risk and build the asset.

Key additional value drivers are contingent: 70% of any Mexican VAT refund to Sapuchi Mexico, a US$2,000,000 payment (cash or up to 9,398,496 Axo shares with floor-price protection) upon Axo filing a NI 43-101 feasibility study, and US$2,000,000 on first gold pour. An anti-dilution-style right tied to at least US$10,000,000 of Axo equity financings helps Osisko aim to maintain its 9.99% interest, with a cap of 5,521,699 Axo shares in certain low-price scenarios and a compensating cash element.

For investors, this shifts San Antonio exposure from direct project ownership to an equity and royalty-like contingent profile. Actual value realization depends on Axo achieving a feasibility study, arranging a Qualifying Financing, and bringing the project to first gold pour, all of which carry typical development and financing risks.

Osisko Development Completes Sale of San Antonio Gold Project

MONTREAL, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Osisko Development" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced sale of its 100% interest in the San Antonio Gold Project ("San Antonio" or the "Project") located in Sonora State, Mexico, to Axo Copper Corp. ("Axo") through the sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Sapuchi Minera S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Sapuchi Mexico") (the "Transaction").

At closing, Osisko Development received 15,325,841 common shares of Axo ("Axo Shares"), representing 9.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Axo on a non‑diluted basis.

Osisko Development is entitled to certain contingent deferred payments in connection with the sale, including:

  • A cash payment equal to 70% of any Mexican value‑added tax refund due or owing to Sapuchi Mexico in respect of any period ending on or before the closing date of the Transaction;
  • Upon the public filing by Axo of a feasibility study respecting the Project that is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, US$2,000,000, payable in cash or up to 9,398,496 Axo Shares, at Axo's option, provided that if the issue price of such Axo Shares is below the November 21, 2025 closing price of the Axo Shares (the "Floor Price"), the Company will receive 9,398,496 Axo Shares plus a cash payment equal to the shortfall between US$2,000,000 and the US dollar-equivalent value of the Axo Shares received; and
  • A cash payment of US$2,000,000, upon the first gold pour being completed at the Project.

In addition, upon Axo closing one or more equity financings that raise aggregate gross proceeds of at least US$10,000,000 (a "Qualifying Financing"), if the issue price is greater than the Floor Price, Axo would be required to issue to Osisko Development such number of Axo Shares that would result in Osisko Development retaining a 9.99% interest in Axo, on a non-diluted basis, on the initial US$10,000,000 raised. If the issue price is less than the Floor Price in connection with such issuance, Osisko Development will receive a maximum of 5,521,699 Axo Shares plus a cash payment equal to the issue price multiplied by the number of additional Axo Shares Osisko Development would have received if the additional shares were issued at the issue price instead of the Floor Price.

Bennett Jones LLP acted as legal advisor to Osisko Development in connection with the Transaction.
