Kalo Gold Corp. has returned high-grade gold and silver results from reconnaissance rock sampling at a newly identified target area in the northeast of the Wainikoro prospect on its Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji.

Seven rock samples collected from a single, previously unsampled outcrop known as the New Vein Cluster returned gold assays of up to 7.83 g/t and silver assays of up to 108 g/t. Five of the seven samples returned greater than 2 g/t gold, while three exceeded 4 g/t gold.

The samples were taken from two intersecting sets of epithermal quartz veins exposed over approximately 15 metres of strike length. Neither vein set was closed off by the exposure, with both obscured along strike by overburden. The outcrop lies approximately 270 metres northeast of the principal Wainikoro graben structure, along the margin of a discrete magnetic low.

Kalo holds a 100% interest in the 367 km² Vatu Aurum Project located on Vanua Levu, representing the company's core exploration asset. The company previously updated its structural and geological model for the property in May 2026, interpreting the project as a single, multi-phase, structurally reactivated volcanic complex.

“Seven samples from one outcrop, five of them above 2 g/t gold and the best at 7.83 g/t, is a strong return from ground we had not sampled before. What makes it more than a good rock sample is the structure. The gold and silver sit on two different vein orientations that cut one another, which tells us there has been more than one episode of hydrothermal activity in the same place, and neither set closed off at the exposure - both run under cover. That is the kind of target we want to follow up with trenching and to have the geophysics look underneath. With the gradient array IP and gravity surveys underway and CSAMT to follow, we expect to know a good deal more about what sits beneath this outcrop before the end of the year.”

Ground geophysical surveying by Fender Geophysics Pty Ltd is currently underway across Wainikoro. Completion of surveying for the remaining blocks of the gradient array induced polarization survey is scheduled for late September 2026, while integrated interpretation and final geophysical reporting is scheduled for November 2026.
