Osisko Development Resumes Operations at Cariboo Gold Project Following Fire Evacuation Order Lifted
MONTREAL, July 26, 2024 - Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) is pleased to announce that the previously issued wildfire evacuation order for its Cariboo Gold Project has been lifted by the BC Wildfire Service. The company can now resume normal operations and on-site activities immediately with the return of non-essential employees.
In a recent press release, Osisko Development confirmed that the wildfires had not affected the mine site infrastructure and that all access roads to the Cariboo Gold Project remained accessible. The company expressed its gratitude to the emergency services personnel who have been tirelessly combating the forest fires, and extended its thoughts to the affected communities. Osisko Development also assured its commitment to closely monitoring the wildfire situation to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees.
Combining the recent press release with Osisko Development Corp’s financial performance, the company recorded a cumulative net loss of $-139 million in the 12 months ending in the fourth quarter of 2023. This translated into a negative return on investment (ROI) of -25.33%. The negative ROI indicates that the company’s investments did not yield positive returns during that period.
Furthermore, within the Basic Materials sector, Osisko Development Corp ranked lower compared to 243 other companies in terms of return on investment. The company’s total ranking deteriorated from 0 to 3139 in the third quarter of 2023.
Despite the financial challenges faced by Osisko Development Corp, the lifting of the fire evacuation order presents an opportunity for the company to resume operations at its Cariboo Gold Project.
