Upside Gold Corp. Gains DTC Eligibility, Expanding Access for U.S. Investors

Upside Gold Corp. announced that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company in the United States. This development opens the door to a significantly broader base of U.S. retail and institutional investors, enabling seamless trading through major U.S. brokerage platforms. It is expected to 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 building accessibility for investors across North America and Europe. As Upside advances the Kena Gold-Copper Project toward next major milestones, this move aims to allow U.S. investors to participate easily and efficiently in the company's growth story by removing barriers and expanding reach. DTC, a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, handles electronic clearing and settlement for publicly traded companies. With eligibility, Upside'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.

This milestone comes as Upside prepares 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 in the months ahead. The company's shares trade on the CSE, OTCQB, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange, positioning it to reach investors across three major markets.

The Kena Project hosts a historical gold resource, with details available 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. A Qualified Person has not classified the historical estimate as current mineral resources, and additional drilling is needed to upgrade it; the historical estimate is provided for information purposes only and should not be relied upon.

The importance of DTC eligibility lies in its potential to enhance market efficiency and investor participation. By facilitating easier trading for U.S. investors, Upside Gold Corp. may experience increased liquidity and reduced volatility in its stock, which can support capital raising efforts and valuation stability. This is particularly crucial as the company moves forward with exploration activities at the Kena Project, where successful results could drive significant interest and investment. The broader implications include strengthened cross-border investment flows and improved alignment with global market standards, potentially setting a precedent for other junior mining companies seeking to expand their investor base. Ultimately, this development underscores Upside's strategic focus on growth and accessibility, positioning it to capitalize on opportunities in the competitive gold-copper exploration sector.
