Kalo Gold Launches Major District-Scale Airborne Geophysics And Lidar Survey at Vatu Aurum Project, Fiji

Kalo Gold Deploys Capital for Massive Geophysics Blitz Following Bonanza Discovery

Executive Summary

The most recent news release (January 7, 2026) announces the commencement of a district-scale airborne geophysics and LiDAR survey at the 100%-owned Vatu Aurum Project in Fiji. The survey will cover 5,700 line-kilometres and is scheduled to begin in late January 2026. This follows the closing of a significant $10.84 million first tranche of a private placement and a 4:1 share consolidation in December 2025. The survey is intended to define structural architecture and prioritize targets for the upcoming 2026 drilling program.

Material Impact

The impact is Routine - Positive. While the survey itself is a standard exploration step, its scale is significant for a junior explorer. It demonstrates that management is immediately deploying the $10.84 million raised in December 2025 to systematically de-risk the project. - In-line with expectations: The company previously signaled a shift to a "systematic, data-driven approach" after the October 2025 bonanza discovery (12.80 g/t Au over 22.12m). - Execution: Moving into a 5,700 line-km survey within weeks of closing a major financing shows high operational readiness. - Strategic Value: The LiDAR is particularly important in Fiji's dense tropical terrain to identify subtle structural controls and historical workings that are otherwise obscured.

Company Overview

Kalo Gold is focused on the Vatu Aurum Project, a 367 sq km land package on Vanua Levu, Fiji. The project focuses on low-sulphidation epithermal gold systems and maar-diatreme complexes. The flagship project contains several trends (Namalau, Loma, Buca) and the Qiriyaga Complex. The company's breakthrough came in October 2025 with hole VA25-DH11, which proved the existence of high-grade "bonanza" mineralization at depth within the diatreme-margin model.
