Kalo Gold Provides Update on High-Resolution Airborne Magnetic Survey at Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji
Kalo Gold Airborne Survey Progress Fails to Halt Decline as Exploration Awaits Results

Executive Summary
- Kalo Gold Corp. provided an operational update on its high-resolution airborne magnetic survey at the Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji.
- As of April 29, 2026, 2,764 line-kilometres have been completed out of a total program of 6,212 line-kilometres (approximately 45% complete).
- The survey utilizes a helicopter-mounted tri-sensor magnetometer system to collect magnetic intensity and horizontal gradient data.
- Line spacing is currently at 100 metres with plans for tighter 50-metre spacing over priority targets in the Aurum Prime and Wainikoro areas.
- Objectives include identifying fault systems, mapping intrusive bodies, and refining drill targets based on structural interpretation.
- Final datasets will be integrated with existing geological and geochemical data to guide future drilling decisions.
Material Impact
- The news is an expected operational status update following the April 22 announcement which defined targets and mentioned the survey commencement.
- No new drill results or discovery announcements are included in this release; it confirms execution of a previously announced plan rather than revealing new value.
- Market reaction has been negative, with the stock price declining from $0.21 (April 8) to $0.19 (April 29), indicating investors are not pricing this progress as material positive news at current levels.
- The survey is a prerequisite for further drilling but does not de-risk the project until results are interpreted and targets are defined, which remains pending.
- Given the stock's downward trend from October 2025 highs ($0.46), incremental operational updates without assay results are viewed as routine maintenance rather than catalysts.
