Upside Gold Corp. Announces DTC Eligibility for Common Shares

CALGARY, ALBERTA — April 14, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Upside Gold Corp. announced its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) in the United States.

DTC eligibility is expected to provide access to a broader base of U.S. retail and institutional investors, enabling trading through major U.S. brokerage platforms. The company anticipates this will improve share liquidity, reduce friction for U.S. investors, and strengthen Upside's visibility in the world's largest capital market.

Sophy Cesar, CEO of Upside Gold Corp., stated that achieving DTC eligibility reflects the company's commitment to accessibility for investors across North America and Europe. She added that as the Kena Gold-Copper Project advances, the company wants U.S. investors to participate easily and efficiently in Upside's growth.

As a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), DTC handles electronic clearing and settlement for publicly traded companies. With DTC eligibility, the Company’s shares can now be traded across a wider network of brokerage firms, accelerating the settlement process and improving access for a broader range of investors.

The company is preparing to advance exploration drilling at the Kena Gold-Copper Project in British Columbia this spring and summer, with results expected to be a key catalyst for the Company in the months ahead.

Upside Gold Corp. shares now trade on the CSE (UG), OTCQB (UGODF), and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (47I).

Upside Gold Corp. is a Canadian gold-copper exploration company with an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Kena Gold-Copper Project, located approximately 7 kilometres southwest of Nelson, British Columbia. The Kena Project consists of 198 mineral claims covering 10,114.8 hectares, along with 11 crown grants covering approximately 92 hectares.

The Kena Project hosts a historical gold resource comprising an Indicated Mineral Resource of 32,146,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.544 g/t Au for 0.561 million ounces of gold, and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 177,507,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.486 g/t Au for 2.77 million ounces of gold. The historical resource estimate is disclosed in the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Resource Estimate for the Kena and Daylight Properties” prepared by Sue Bird, P.Eng. of Moose Mountain Technical Services, dated May 3, 2021, and filed on SEDAR on behalf of West Mining Corp.

A Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, and Upside Gold Corp. is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources. To upgrade the historical estimate as current mineral resource additional drilling needs to be completed.
