## Minestarters Atlas summary

Upside Gold has completed an expanded 2026 diamond drilling program at the Kena Gold-Copper Project, drilling 5,180 metres across 19 holes. The results are expected to support an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate targeted for Q1 2027.

Reasoning: The company completed a larger-than-planned drilling program to support an upcoming resource update, but actual geological results \(grades/widths\) are not yet released.

- Positive factor: completion of expanded drilling program

- Positive factor: drilling exceeded original scope

- Positive factor: upcoming NI 43-101 resource update

- Negative factor: assay results are still pending

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The company is using the new drilling to prepare an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.

Evidence · text

> Results from the 2026 drill program are expected to contribute to the updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: A significant portion of the historical resource is in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> Inferred Mineral Resource of 177,507,000 tonnes

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
