Upside Gold Corp. Announces Closing of $5 Million Brokered Private Placement

Upside Gold Secures $5M to Fund 4,000m BC Drill Program Amidst Pre-Revenue Exploration Phase

Executive Summary
  • Upside Gold Corp. closed a brokered private placement generating aggregate gross proceeds of $5,137,600.
  • The offering consisted of non-flow-through, flow-through, and premium flow-through units priced between $1.25 and $1.735 per unit.
  • Each unit includes one common share and 0.5 warrant, with warrants exercisable at $1.80 for a 36-month term.
  • Proceeds are allocated to eligible Canadian exploration expenses in British Columbia, specifically funding the planned 4,000-metre summer diamond drilling program at the Kena Gold-Copper Project.
  • The closing follows the initial announcement on May 21, 2026, and aligns with the company's stated Q2 2026 financing target.
Material Impact
  • The $5.14M capital raise materially extends the company's cash runway, directly addressing the $825,560 cash balance reported in Q1 2026 and the $588,196 net loss incurred in the first quarter.
  • Pricing between $1.25 and $1.735 closed above the recent market trading range of $1.10–$1.17, indicating strong investor demand and a lack of significant discounting.
  • The $1.80 warrant strike price is out-of-the-money relative to current levels, providing a potential future capital event without immediate dilution.
  • The funds directly enable the execution of the 4,000-metre drill program announced in early June, which is critical for validating the historic resource and targeting an updated NI 43-101 estimate by 2027.
  • While dilutive, the financing is a necessary and expected step to fund pre-revenue exploration and meet option agreement milestones.
