Osisko Metals Incorporated
Osisko Metals holds 100% of the past-producing Gaspé Copper mine near Murdochville, Québec, acquired from Glencore in July 2023. A 2026 resource update raised the estimate to 824 Mt indicated at 0.34% CuEq and 670 Mt inferred at 0.38% CuEq (a 53% increase in contained copper-equivalent metal), supported by intercepts including 738 m of 0.31% Cu and 320 m of 0.38% Cu from an expanding multi-rig drill program. A PEA is now slated for mid-2026, targeting a potential mine restart in the early 2030s.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Two majors sit on this register at once. Agnico Eagle has been actively accumulating -- four open-market purchases in the last twelve months totalling roughly US$69M, including 21.5 million shares bought directly from Glencore on 27 Jul 2026, plus a C$12.48M placement subscription taken up under a contractual participation right. Glencore Canada itself still holds about 11.9% after that sale, down from 14.3%. CEO John Burzynski has also been buying repeatedly, though other insiders have sold.
