Osisko Mining Corporation ("Osisko" or the "Corporation"). (TSX:OSK)(FRANKFURT:EWX) announces that it has filed a final short form prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces in Canada in connection with its previously announced public offering of 77,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Corporation at a price of $4.55 per Unit for gross proceeds of $350,350,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.

The Underwriters have been granted an option (the "Over-allotment Option") to purchase an additional 15% of the Units for market stabilization and over-allotment purposes. The Over-allotment Option may be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, until that date which is 30 days following the closing date which has been set for February 25, 2009.
