Upside Gold Highlights Results Of Historic Data Compilation At The Kena Gold-Copper Property

Upside Gold’s new 3‑D model unlocks a 7 km gold‑copper system, sharpening drill targets

Executive Summary
  • On 2026‑04‑07 Upside Gold announced completion of a digital compilation of all historic geological, geochemical and geophysical data for its Kena Gold‑Copper Property.
  • The effort produced an updated 3‑D exploration model that shows a continuous mineralized system at least 7 km along strike, open laterally, down‑dip and at depth beyond the historic resource.
  • High‑grade copper (up to 71,800 ppm) and silver (up to 145 ppm) anomalies were identified, with more than 2,900 core samples exceeding 500 ppm Cu.
  • The model defines priority drill targets for the 2026 diamond‑drilling program: expansion of the Kena Copper Zone and testing a potential second major zone.
  • No new resource estimate was released; the announcement is an exploration update that refines the drilling plan.
Material Impact
  • Positive catalyst: The comprehensive data integration materially improves geological confidence, reduces exploration risk and provides a clear, data‑driven drill agenda.
  • Alignment with prior guidance: Earlier updates (Feb‑Mar 2026) highlighted surface geochemistry, initial drill results and the need for a detailed model. This release delivers on that promise, confirming that the company is progressing as scheduled.
  • Market expectation: While investors anticipated a model update, the scale of the identified system (≥7 km) and the richness of copper‑silver anomalies exceed typical incremental updates, justifying a Material – Positive rating.
  • Risk considerations: No resource upgrade or economic study accompanies the news; the impact remains exploratory. Execution risk lies in successfully drilling the newly defined targets.

Company Overview

Upside Gold Corp. is a junior explorer focused on the Kena Gold‑Copper Property in southeastern British Columbia (≈10,115 ha). The property sits within the historic “Kootenay Arc” gold district and hosts a historic resource of 32.1 Mt @ 0.544 g/t Au (indicated) and 177.5 Mt @ 0.486 g/t Au (inferred). The company’s strategy is to convert historic data into a modern exploration model, define high‑potential drill targets, and ultimately upgrade the resource.
