Trending
Upside Gold is a newly public Canadian exploration company strategically positioned to benefit from the powerful macro tailwinds driving both gold and copper. Gold continues to attract capital as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risk, while copper demand is accelerating due to electrification, infrastructure build-out, and the global energy transition. Upside’s flagship Kena Gold-Copper Project, located in British Columbia’s Tier-1 mining jurisdiction, offers rare dual-metal exposure within a single, district-scale asset. Spanning over 10,000 hectares in the highly prospective Kootenay “Golden Arc,” the project hosts a 2021 historic gold resource of approximately 3.31 million ounces, near-surface mineralization, and a 3-kilometre copper-gold trend that remains open in multiple directions. Exceptional highway access, nearby rail, power, smelters, and local drilling infrastructure position the Company for efficient and cost-effective advancement.

A CEOSDAILY BREAKDOWN

A Company Positioned at the Convergence of Gold & Copper’s New Major Cycle

Upside Gold is a newly public Canadian exploration company strategically positioned at the intersection of two of the most powerful macroeconomic themes shaping global capital markets today:

gold as a store of value in an era of monetary instability, and copper as a foundational metal for electrification, infrastructure, and the global energy transition. The Company’s sole focus is the advancement of its flagship Kena Gold-Copper Project, a large, district-scale land package located in southern British Columbia, one of the world’s most respected Tier-1 mining jurisdictions.

Gold continues to benefit from persistent inflationary pressures, sovereign debt expansion, geopolitical instability, and declining real interest rates—conditions that historically drive sustained bull markets in precious metals. At the same time, copper demand is accelerating structurally due to electrification, grid expansion, electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and AI-driven power demand. Few junior exploration companies offer meaningful exposure to both metals within a single, scalable asset. Upside Gold does.

The Kena Gold-Copper Project

The Kena Gold-Copper Project spans approximately 10,115 hectares across 198 mineral claims, all in good standing through 2027–2028, and is located just 7 kilometres south of Nelson, British Columbia, approximately 400 kilometres east of Vancouver.

The property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including paved highways, extensive logging roads and cut-blocks across the land package, nearby rail access, gas lines, and hydro-electric power. Importantly, the project is approximately 65 km by paved highway to Teck’s Trail smelter and 180 km to the Greenwood Mill, significantly reducing future logistical and development risk.

Geologically, Kena is situated within the Kootenay “Golden Arc”, a highly prospective volcanic belt that hosts one of the greatest concentrations of historic producers, past-producing mines, and mineral occurrences in British Columbia outside of the famed Golden Triangle.

The Arc is known for its long-lived mineral systems, telescoped deposit styles, and repeated endowment of precious and base metals. This is not frontier exploration—it is district-scale redevelopment in a proven mining camp.

The project hosts a historic resource estimate filed in 2021 totaling approximately 3.31 million ounces of gold, including 561,900 ounces in the indicated category and ~2.77 million ounces in the inferred category, with mineralization demonstrated at or near surface. Importantly, this resource is considered historic, and Upside Gold is now undertaking work to verify and update this estimate—creating a near-term value inflection point for investors. The mineralized system remains open, with a 3-kilometre copper-gold trend confirmed by soil geochemistry, IP surveys, and drilling, and is open along strike, across strike, and at depth.

Despite its long history, much of the Kena land package remains under-explored, particularly outside the historic resource footprint.

The discovery of the Starlight copper zone, which has not yet undergone systematic follow-up drilling, further highlights the scale and optionality embedded in the property. With two deposit types telescoped and a large copper halo surrounding gold mineralization, Kena represents a rare opportunity to advance a district-scale gold-copper system in a jurisdiction where permitting, infrastructure, and technical talent are already in place.

This company presents a rare combination of factors that has driven exceptional insider interest and ownership, with management estimating that approximately 70–80% of the float is held in “friendly hands.”

Read on to understand why insiders are so deeply invested.

why insiders are so invested

Management, Ownership, and Why Upside Gold Is Uniquely Positioned for the Next Rally

Upside Gold’s leadership team brings decades of experience across exploration, capital markets, and mine developmentan essential combination at a time when investors are increasingly selective about execution risk.

The Company is led by Sophy Cesar (CEO & Director), a seasoned mining executive with more than 15 years of experience in the junior resource sector across the TSX, TSXV, and CSE. Her background in capital formation, strategic partnerships, and investor relations positions Upside Gold to attract both institutional and high-conviction retail capital as the story unfolds.

Technical leadership is provided by Dr. Trevor Boyd (VP Exploration), a PhD-qualified Professional Geoscientist with over 30 years of senior-level experience. Dr. Boyd has held geologist roles at major mining companies including Noranda, Falconbridge, and Westmin Resources, bringing deep expertise in large-scale mineral systems and the exact geological environments present at Kena. Financial oversight is led by Roger Jewett (CFO), a CPA, CA with over three decades of experience guiding public and private companies, including executing debt and equity financings totaling up to $70 million.

Beyond formal management credentials, Upside Gold benefits from a rare qualitative advantage: the project sits within a community of multi-generation mining families, service providers, and contractors who have operated in the region for decades.

Drilling companies are located immediately adjacent to the property, enabling rapid mobilization, lower costs, and highly efficient drill programs—an increasingly important advantage in an inflationary cost environment. This local expertise materially reduces operational friction and execution risk.

From a capital markets perspective, Upside Gold stands out for its tight ownership structure.

The Company has recently gone public, with insiders holding meaningful equity positions and a shareholder base characterized by long-term, aligned ownership rather than short-term speculative capital. This structure creates strong alignment between management and investors and reduces the risk of excessive dilution as the Company advances the asset.

Upside Gold is entering the market at a critical moment.

Gold and copper prices are both strengthening, capital is rotating back into high-quality resource equities, and investors are increasingly focused on projects that combine scale, jurisdictional safety, infrastructure, and near-term catalysts. With a large land position in a proven mining Arc, an existing historic resource from only 2021 now being verified, outstanding infrastructure, and an experienced, aligned management team, Upside Gold is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from a sustained rally in both gold and copper.

In a market that rewards credibility, scale, and timing, Upside Gold represents a rare convergence of macro tailwinds, geological endowment, and disciplined leadership—the foundation upon which outsized long-term shareholder value is built.
